Chapter 145: Caroline's message

Two weeks ago.

West Virginia.

Diocese of Teribu.

Caroline drove from New York to this desolate place with a newspaper circling job advertisements.

There are people recruiting nurses here, and the weekly salary is quite high, otherwise no one will come to such a famous ghost place.

The employer is obviously a rich man, living in a very large estate.

As soon as I drove over from the main road, I saw a sign on it: Dawo Manor, private territory, no entry.

A trail leads directly to the manor, with tall old trees on both sides, which has a sense of age.

This kind of place supposedly should be taken care of by special personnel, but what Caroline saw was deserted.

The big iron door outside the manor was half open, and the large branches and leaves on the side reached the middle of the door, and the car could touch it when entering the door. In addition, when Caroline arrived, the weather was a bit gloomy, which matched this desolate scene. It's really horrible.

However, Caroline was mentally prepared for this. After taking a look at the manor, she went straight to knock on the door.

There was no response.

Caroline glanced at the rocking chair that was still shaking in the corridor outside the door, pushed the door, and found that the door was unlocked, she opened the door and walked in.

The room is a little dark, and there is a statue of the Virgin at the door. In this atmosphere, there is no sense of holiness, on the contrary, it adds a sense of eerie and weirdness.

The murals on both sides of the living room are also religious themes.

Caroline tied her hair into a ponytail and continued to walk inside while shouting.

When I came to the back garden, I saw an old couple.

The fat wife is giving her husband who is in a wheelchair a haircut.

"This is the manifestation of true love."

At this moment, a gentle middle-aged man in a suit came from behind holding a box of things and said with a smile: "It's like the classic reproduction in a story book, you must be Caroline?"

"Sorry, the door is unlocked, so I came in."

Caroline and the man in the suit looked at each other and apologized.

"It's ok."

The man in the suit smiled and said, "This house is very big, and it's normal not to hear it. My name is Luke Coleman, a real estate lawyer. We talked on the phone."

"Oh yes."

Caroline was stunned.

When the two were chatting, the fat woman kept peeping, her eyes full of scrutiny and indifference.

"The doctor said he has only one month, and he is about to die."

Real estate lawyer Luke looked at the old man in the wheelchair and explained.

"I know."

Caroline nodded.

This information has been said on the phone before.

"Villie, she's here."

Luke raised his voice at the fat woman.

"This is Caroline Ellis. She used to work as a nurse at New York University Medical Center. Caroline, this is Violet Devo."

Luke introduced the two.

"Your house is so beautiful."

Caroline praised.

The fat woman blinked and looked at Luke, then ignored Caroline's greeting and walked directly into the room.

"Sorry, she is in a bad mood, and she is more traditional, and she thinks women should be more subtle."

Luke explained.

Caroline, wearing a suspender, smiled and looked at the old man in the wheelchair: "So, he can't talk at all?"

"No, because the stroke is paralyzed all over."

Luke shook his head.

At this moment, the fat woman came over again and muttered: "She is from a foreign country, she must not understand the rules here, and what's the matter with her accent?"

Luke stretched his arms around the fat woman and calmly said: "I know you want her to have a southern accent, but no one else can be found."

The fat woman looked at Luke, saw that he winked at her, then glanced at Caroline from top to bottom, nodding helplessly: "Okay, but she will definitely not understand the rules here."

"Can't find a caregiver, huh?"

Caroline expressed her dissatisfaction and left immediately.

But after Luke stayed, he decided to stay and give it a try.

The fat woman hid by the window of the room all the way, peering at everything, and when she saw Caroline being persuaded by Luke, she gave a cold smile.

This is the fifth female nurse to apply for the job. She is not satisfied with the other four. Caroline is actually not satisfied. She wants a black pearl even more, but time is no longer allowed.

And Luke seemed to like the nurse very much. Thinking of this, the fat woman gave Luke a fierce look.

In the end, Caroline chose to accept, moved in, and obtained a master key.

There are many rooms in this kind of manor, and a series of keys are required for the keys alone, but as the owner, he possesses the master key that can unlock all the door locks.

The fat woman reversed her previous refusal and unexpectedly gave Caroline this key.

Caroline took the key and began to take care of the male host Ben Davor, who was paralyzed by a stroke, but she found many abnormalities.

For example, Ben, who was paralyzed, looked at her with horror and hope, as if asking her for help or warning.

The fat woman looked at her as if she was looking at things, and asked her very rudely if she had tattoos on her body.

Caroline hit back directly, saying that outsiders couldn't see it.

The fat woman shook her head and left, obviously a little dissatisfied but helpless.

When I took a shower at night, I felt someone was peeping.

There is no mirror in so many rooms in such a large manor. The place where the mirror should have been hung is only the traces of the previous hung, and it is obvious that they have all been taken away.

Afterwards, the fat woman first reminded her not to go indiscriminately, some rooms put a lot of precious antiques, and then intentionally or unintentionally asked her to help pick things.

As a U.S. native, curiosity about mystery is carved in the bones.

When the fat woman hides her head and reveals her tail, Caroline's curiosity is fully mobilized, secretly holding the master key, opening one room after another, and seeing many dusty mysterious and weird things.

Caroline, who was deeply shocked, threatened to leave and asked the fat woman to tell the story of the manor.

It turns out that this manor once had two black wizard servants. They were a couple but they dared to teach the manor’s sons and witches so they were hanged up by the manor and burned alive. On the big tree at the entrance of the manor.

But legend has it that their ghosts have never left, and her husband was probably paralyzed by a stroke when he ran into their ghosts.

In the attic, those mysterious and horrible things that resemble evil rituals were left by the black wizard couple.

Caroline didn't believe it at first, but under the guidance of the fat woman step by step, she subconsciously went to the store that specializes in selling these mysterious items and bought some guardian items.

She suspects that the evil is not the ghost, but the fat woman herself.

One night with lightning and thunder, Caroline, who was aware of the danger, took Ben to flee, but was chased by the fat woman. Panicked, she could only temporarily give up Ben and fled to the lawyer Luke for help.

Then she found out that Luke was studying the basic real estate law, which reminded her of the fat woman's claim of possession by ghosts. As soon as she wanted to escape, Luke was knocked out and brought back to the manor.

After waking up, they saw the fat woman and Lu Keyin looking at her with a smile...
