Around fifteen minutes later, the ferry trip eventually came to an end. Garvin, who had been miserable throughout the journey, finally set foot on Block Island with Sebastian.After arriving on the island, he had thought he would hear a voice that kept calling his name, sadly, like in his dream, but after seeing that everything was normal, and the island had a beautiful environment and fresh air, he gradually became more and more relaxed about everything."Hey Garvin, this way, this way." As soon as the two of them dragged their suitcases out of the dock gate, they heard a clear and gentle voice.Garvin turned his head and saw his cousin Lindsey, who had made an appointment on the phone yesterday to pick them up at the pier, waving to them not far away."Wow, what a beautiful girl." When Sebastian saw Lindsey, he was like a weasel seeing a chicken. His eyes were glowing brightly. "Garvin, I didn't know you have such a lovely angel in your family."Garvin immediately threatened in a lo
That day was the first time Garvin met his legendary grandmother.Needless to say, for Garvin's mother, her mother from Block Island was definitely not someone who could make her happy.Grandma was also very self-aware, so she had not come to visit her daughter in all these years. (This period included the two key moments of his parents' marriage and Garvin's own birth). When she now came, it was because she was desperate. In order to treat grandfather, she urgently needed to collect a large amount of money.That day, the kind-hearted father finally ignored his mother's objections and went to the bank to withdraw money for his wife's father. He also bought fruit and nutritional supplements and took Garvin with him to the First Affiliated People's Hospital of Providence City to visit him because of congenital heart disease. Grandfather was hospitalized there while waiting for surgery.Well, since he was a child, even if Garvin could understand his mother's eagerness to get rid of the r
About twenty minutes later, the taxi turned out of the town center and came to a long road built along the coast. Unlike the bluestone or cobblestone streets in the center of the town, this coastal road was paved with cement, like a thick gray snake, and winded all the way to the promontory in front.On the outside of the coastal road was the undulating blue coast, and below it were patches of messy black reef beaches and the ebb and flow of the blue-gray sea. On the inside was a rolling hillside, with residential houses surrounded by dense woods. They were sparsely scattered throughout the hillside under the cover of the sky.Originally, this small town felt deserted, but when they arrived here it was extremely quiet, with only a few pitiful figures walking near and far along the roads."Here we are, just ahead." Under Lindsey's guidance, the taxi parked in front of a row of dense bushes on the roadside. There was a cobblestone-paved mountain path less than ten meters long in the for
In the blink of an eye, dinner was over.At this time, Garvin dragged Sebastian out of his grandmother's house in the name of taking a walk after dinner. He wanted to discuss with him the incident where he saw the female ghost in white in the afternoon - he did not dare to talk about it in his grandmother's house, lest they hear it and be scared.The two of them walked slowly along the long coastal road outside grandma's house. After Garvin muttered to himself for a long time, he didn't hear any word from Sebastian, who was slightly behind him. So he turned around and asked: "Sebastian, Sebastian, are you even listening to me?"However, this guy Sebastian was holding his SLR camera at this moment, taking pictures of the beach and the sea in front of him. He looked completely absent-minded. Garvin was so angry that he wanted to snatch his camera from him and throw it into the sea ahead.Hearing Garvin's call and seeing his darkened face, Sebastian put away the camera and said with a p
Sure enough, on the quiet coastal road, under the gradually closing shadow of twilight, a figure with long hair in white floated from far to near. The breeze from the sea kept lifting the figure's thick black hair, far away Looking at it, it looks like the wings of a black crow spreading its deadly wings.Garvin took a step back involuntarily and swallowed hard. The heart in his chest was beating fast. The female ghost in front of him suddenly appeared in his mind and transformed into a ferocious black crow with its long legs stretched out. Then he saw the terrifying scene of its sharp claws swooping towards him.However, when he saw it more clearly, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. "Sebastian, something must be wrong with your eyes. Why are you seeing things that weren't there? That's clearly not a ghost, but a human." Garvin was angry at Sebastian, but in fact, he himself accidentally mistook this living person walking over for the female ghost from before.At this time,
Garvin followed Sebastian back to his grandmother's house. Just after he walked into the courtyard, he heard Quinn's anxious voice coming from the front hall on the first floor. "Lindsey, isn't Harper here with you? And why is your phone always turned off when I call you?”"Ah, Quinn, I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery. I just found out now that it was just charged," Lindsey said and glanced at Garvin and Sebastian who came in from the front door, "Xiao Hu didn't come here. Ah, what, he didn’t come home on time?”Quinn became even more uneasy after hearing this. "No, there is still no sign of him yet. Do you know where he went after school?""I really don't know about this," Lindsey shook her head apologetically, "I didn't have any classes this afternoon, so I asked for a day leave and went to the pier to pick up my cousin and his friend. I didn't go to school at all."Lindsey was now a teacher at Block Island Middle School - this school was the only middle school on this side of
Soon, it was midnight.The night was gloomy and the air was cold. No, it was not just cold, it was extremely cold, as if the place he was lying on was not a bed at all, but a deep ice cave.No matter how hard he curled up like an autumn bug, it was of no avail. His whole body, especially his feet, were so cold that he almost lost consciousness.But the most terrible thing was that in the sleepy state, the remaining breath of reason told him directly that this was not an ordinary cold, but with an extremely ominous air of decay. It was as if coming from the deep underworld, so gloomy that it was impossible for it to have the slightest breath of the human world."Ah!" Garvin suddenly woke up from his dark dream and sat up in the bed. A Dream! It was just a cold dream. Garvin tried to calm himself down, but looking down the bed, he saw the frosty ghost. It wasn't a dream, but a real ghost.After going through a series of twists and turns in his brain, Garvin finally figured out the situ
"Hey, Garvin, wake up, wake up! Why are you acting like a little kid and rolling off the bed while sleeping?" Early the next morning, Garvin woke up to Sebastian's yelling and kicking. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was laying on the hard wooden floor. "Fuck!" Slowly, he turned over, sat up from the ground, and touched the back of his head, wondering why he was sleeping on the floor. Soon, an idea flashed through his head as he gradually regained his senses, and he finally remembered the terrifying encounter in the second half of the previous night. Only then did he realize that he actually fainted on the floor, not slept on it.He quickly turned around and looked at the bed against the wall, but there was no one on the blue sheets that had been stained by the morning light that penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, and there were no piles of black hair that later turned into black snakes.Everything was like a nightmare."What are you looking at? Why do you look l
Garvin repeated his question again, fearing that his grandmother might get suspicious, and added, "Since I came back here, I keep thinking about my mother. I really want to know something about her past."Seeing Yvonne trying to walk upstairs with a cane, Garvin immediately ran over to help her. Holding his grandson's arm, Yvonne sighed and said with a sense of loss: "When your mother was young, the only thing that made her sad was probably that her father died too early.""How did grandpa die?" Garvin asked again."Why, didn't your mother mention it to you?" Yvonne glanced at him strangely and asked."She just said that he seemed to have died of some illness." What Garvin had always found difficult to understand was that his mother always said that she and his father had a good relationship, but she rarely mentioned his father in front of her husband and son. Even when she paid tribute to him during the annual festivals, she always remained sad but silent.Upon hearing this, Yvonne's
Since his mother passed away due to illness two years ago, Garvin had imagined many times that he could see her again. Now God finally heard his voice and made his wish come true with such a thrilling and amazing effect."Mom?" Garvin cautiously called out to his mother Yvette, who looked younger than himself. He really couldn't understand why she appeared in front of her son in this appearance.However, the girl Yvette turned a deaf ear to her son's calls, and just sat there wiping her eyes with her fingers.Garvin then realized that his mother seemed to be crying. It was "seemed to be crying" because he only saw her frowning and looking sad, but he could not see any tears falling from her face. Perhaps ghosts simply cannot shed tears like living people?"Mom, it's me!" Although the person in front of him was a real ghost, and her appearance was far from the last appearance of his mother in his memory, Garvin still felt sincere intimacy and nostalgia after gradually calming down, so
"There is still a way," The garbage man glanced at them mysteriously with his bloodshot yellow eyes, and then gave a very "amazing" answer under the great expectations of the two, "If you two have time, go to the Wells Mountain Shamanic Shrine. It is said to be very effective!"Oh my god! He thought that the garbage man would give him some good ideas, but he didn't expect that he would ask him to visit the shrine to pray to god again. If this trick worked, would he have ended up like this? Garvin complained in his heart, and then said to the garbage man weakly. "Sir, I have been to a shaman shrine, had my fate read, and consulted a Shaman, but it's all useless, okay?""Sir," Sebastian was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and stopped the garbage grandson who was about to leave with the woven bag. "At least tell us, what is the origin of this female ghost in white?""I've already answered that, I can't see it!" The garbage man said this, suddenly getting irritated, "You know what
The garbage man's words reminded Garvin of the nightmare he was having before he came to the island. The mournful voice that came from the depths of the island and kept calling him made him shudder.Sebastian originally wanted to say with a smile, "Who are you fooling, old man?" But suddenly he remembered the dream that Garvin had told him before, and he couldn't laugh anymore.The three of them fell into silence for a moment, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little depressing.After a while, Sebastian was the first to break the silence. "Sir, how do you know all this? Who are you?"The garbage man had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I worked as a witch doctor for a while when I was young."It turned out that this was another former shaman who had dealth with spirits or fortune telling. However, Garvin felt that this Shaman seemed to be more capable than those scammers he had met in Providence City before!So he immediately
"Old man, is it really not you who is causing trouble?" After hearing this, Sebastian's first person of interest was still the garbage man. But at the same time, the memory that just remained in his mind immediately jumped out to tell him that this possibility could be said to be very minimal.Because, just now, Garvin's grandmother saw Garvin went out to throw away the garbage and didn't come back for a long time, so she was a little worried. So Sebastian volunteered to go out and check on the situation.As a result, when he walked on this road, he happened to see from a distance that the garbage man was walking towards Garvin, who had his back to them. Then Garvin suddenly raised his arms high for some reason, and then the garbage man pounced on him.Sebastian clearly remembered that, just as he said, at that time, there was no one on the grass in front of Garvin.Seeing that Sebastian also suspected him, the garbage man was so scared that he kept waving his hands. Because of his ne
""You..." Garvin looked at the garbage man who was holding his wrist in great astonishment. The first reaction that flashed through his mind was that there must be something wrong with his eyes, which must be a big problem than he anticipated.But the next second, when he looked back, his head was buzzing as if it had been whipped by someone. He saw that the protruding rock on the grass in front of him was empty, and there was no sign of the garbage man who had been sitting there just now.Could it be that the garbage man could teleport behind him the moment he raised the knife? But why did he hold his wrist tightly to stop him from moving? Even if Garvin racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out. He could only stare at garbage man who was still holding his wrist, his eyes blank and helpless."Old man, what do you think you're doing?" At this time, a roar came from the sky, accompanied by Sebastian's tall figure leaping into the air in a triple jump."Stop! Don't..." Garvin had jus
"Forget it," The man swallowed, rubbed his chin again, and then said slowly. "These things are called sea corpse worms. They were ghosts of people who drowned in the sea when they were alive, but think they have unfinished businesses. Because the corpses have been sinking in the sea and have not been recovered and freed from this world, there is no one in the family to do the deeds, so their ghosts cannot cross to the other side, so they keep floating in the sea, and some of them are very resentful and will harm others!""I understand!" Garvin immediately turned to look at the dark sea below the coast and muttered. "Earlier this evening, I met a water ghost on the beach. It must be..."As a result, the old man's next sentence completely overturned his guess. "The prototype of this sea corpse bug is a ghost that sank in the sea. When it first escapes from the sea water and enters the body of a living person, it turns into an egg, and then slowly hatches. From the looks
When Garvin, Sebastian and Lindsey returned to grandma's house together, they happened to see her holding a cane and carrying a bag of garbage. She was opening the courtyard door. It seemed that she was preparing to throw it into the large trash can on the roadside outside.Seeing this, Garvin stepped forward and snatched the garbage bag from his grandmother's hand. "Grandma, I'll throw it away. You go back and have a rest!""Okay, okay." Yvonne handed the garbage bag to Garvin, then helped Lindsey toward the house.Sebastian also followed them into the house.Garvin carried the garbage bag and ran to a large green plastic trash can on the roadside outside in less than a minutes. He was about to throw the garbage bag into the trash can when he suddenly saw a heap of dark shadow squirming down behind the trash can.He was startled and immediately stepped aside. But when he saw the figure of the old man slowly moving out from behind the trash can, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief -
When she heard Garvin calling her, Shannon stopped and looked back. "What's the matter, Garvin?"Before Garvin could speak, Sebastian rushed to say. "I just wanted to ask you if you still remember the old fisherman who was on the same ferry with us yesterday, who was telling you various ghost stories?""Oh, you mean the middle-aged man who told a lot of scary stories?" Shannon tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment. Her unmodified long shawl hair slid to the side, emitting a black light under the street lamp."Yes, that's him!" Sebastian stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. "Did he tell you his name, where he lives, how he works, how old he is, and whether he is married or not?""Hm?" Shannon looked at him blankly, her eyes were full of surprise.Sebastian secretly screamed in his heart. Why did he habitually throw out the words he usually asked other girls when picking up girls? This caused Shannon to have a bad impression of him. He was about to explain, but Ga
