Chapter 211 The dust has settled
Fortunately, ten minutes later, Bourne's reinforcements arrived.
That’s right, why would someone as cautious as Bourne take risks alone?
Of course, the glorious tradition of the United States is to recruit people!
As early as when Bourne entered the town, John Zhao led 40 SWAT members from two teams to ambush on the only road leading into the town to intercept anyone who wanted to leave the town.
Moreover, when Bourne set out for the island in the lake, John Zhao had already taken control of the entire town with his men. Even the old house of the Ash family was guarded by ten fully armed team members.
After receiving the notice from Bourne, John Zhao personally took a speedboat to the island in the middle of the lake, accompanied by the team doctor.
It took half an hour before everyone found Zack in a passage in Mary Shaw's bedroom that led directly to the basement floor. He was unconscious at the time and did not respond no matter how they called him.
In the end, it took the team's demolitionist using brute force to remove an entire floor backstage at the theater before they were able to dig Zack out.
After being examined by the team doctor, it was discovered that Zach was not only unconscious, but also had a broken leg and multiple bruises on his joints. It looked like... someone had thrown him down a pipe from a building!
The cause of Zack's coma was also found. It was a poison needle inserted in his neck. The team doctor identified that the needle was coated with an anesthetic, which was used by mountain hunters to hunt wild animals in the past. The effect was very strong, but there were no toxic side effects. As long as enough time was given, the human body would naturally digest it.
Leaving a team behind to guard the place, Bourne and John Zhao led the rest of the team back to the town. This time, they went faster than when they came, because there was another important person who needed to be captured.
Bourne also brought Notan, who had been missing. She had been checking the more than 100 dolls on the wall. Sure enough, she found hidden tricks left by Billy and Mary Shaw on several of them, but they were all cleared by Notan. For now, the danger to the theater has been lifted, and they just have to wait for the large force to come and re-check in the future.
When he stepped into Ash's manor again and just got off the car, Bourne saw Jamie's stepmother's face behind the glass window on the second floor. At this moment, her face no longer had the smile she had when they first met, but was instead filled with resentment and hatred.
It seems that Mary Shaw did not give up on this last "perfect doll" and came back.
"Wait here and control everyone in the manor. Do not come up without my order, and do not scream!"
Bourne warned John Zhao seriously. He knew how Mary Shaw harmed people. She would use horrific scenes to scare the victims. When the victims could not help but open their mouths and scream, she would tear out the victims' tongues and cause the victims to bleed to death.
The tongue that was pulled out would be connected to her own tongue. In this way, she would be able to master the victim's voice and obtain some of the victim's memories.
So, as long as you don’t open your mouth, you will just be startled at most. Open your mouth and start again!
“Mary Shaw!”
Bourne looked at the woman standing in front of a mirror and said, "You have nowhere to run!"
Mary Shaw looked at the face of the 'perfect doll' that she was possessed by in the mirror and asked unwillingly:
"Why, why won't you let me go? I'm about to start a new life with a new identity."
Bourne sneered, "What about those innocent people you killed? Did they deserve to die? And your daughter, whom you turned into a puppet, their wronged souls are watching you!"
"That's what they owe me!" Mary Shaw suddenly turned around and shouted at Bourne.
This time Bourne didn't answer her, but shot the woman directly in the head.
"Bang." A bullet hole appeared on the woman's forehead, but strangely, not a drop of blood flowed out.
"You dare to call yourself a 'human'? I think it's more appropriate to call you a monster!" Bourne sneered.
Mary Shaw's face suddenly became ferocious, and she rushed towards Bourne with her arms outstretched.
"They are indeed mother and daughter. Their faces are so similar to Mary Shaw." Looking at the face that was so similar to the Mary Shaw doll in the theater, Bourne believed Billy, also known as old Edward, a little more.
I'm afraid Mary Shaw already knew her identity as the woman who made the 'perfect doll', but she still did it. In her heart, perhaps the doll was her real child.
Bourne placed his palm on the top of the woman's head, pushing her directly to the ground, and activated the Gate of Wonders in his hand with all his strength.
Billowing black smoke rose from Mary Shaw's body and disappeared into Bourne's palm.
Mary Shaw struggled desperately, but no matter how she waved her arms or moved her tongue, she could not break through the protection of the white light emitted from Bourne.
With a series of crackling sounds, the skin of this 'perfect doll' quickly lost moisture and became shriveled and peeling, and its resisting movements became stiff until it was completely motionless.
Seeing that there was no more black smoke, Bourne let go of his hand. Mary Shaw had become a mummy.
A small flame flicked by Bourne fell on the body, and the mummy immediately burst into flames and was burned to ashes in a short while.
At this point, the evil witch that had been legendary for seventy or eighty years completely disappeared from the world.
Stepping over the human-shaped ash on the ground, Bourne walked over to Edward who was sitting in a wheelchair in the corner.
He leaned over to take a look and was so disgusted by the scene that even Bourne, who had experienced many big scenes, couldn't help wanting to vomit.
I saw that the old man's spine had been dug out, and his body was supported by a wooden stick inserted into his brain.
The old man's internal organs had been removed and replaced with a can of dog food placed in his stomach. There was some goo in the box, and maggots had grown inside, crawling around in the old man's stomach.
"vomit!"
Bourne covered his mouth, went downstairs quickly, and waved to John Zhao to send someone upstairs to clean up the scene. John Zhao was about to go upstairs but was stopped by Bourne, who shook his head to signal him not to look.
But John Zhao was very curious. He wanted to see what the legendary magic and supernatural events were like. Ignoring Bourne's obstruction, he excitedly followed the team upstairs.
After a while, he staggered downstairs holding a plastic bag, vomiting violently. The bag was full of vomit. It seemed that he had vomited out all the dinner that day.
Bourne had anticipated this, and he had already hidden in the car and sat there, drinking half of the bottle of mineral water in his hand, before he was able to suppress most of the nausea.
At this moment, what he was thinking about in his mind were the two pictures that Notan had transmitted to him.
One was an old-fashioned map with no text on it, but based on the rough outline, one could tell that it was a route leading into the mountains from the town of Ravens. At the end of the route, there was a triangular symbol.
Another picture shows a big tree. Judging from the surrounding environment and buildings in the distance, this tree should be located behind the Lake Island Grand Theater. There is also a bird pattern carved at the root of the tree.
If the tree has not been cut down, there is no harm in going to look for it. As for what the picture means, let's wait until Notan wakes up.
That's right, Notan fell into a deep sleep because she absorbed both sapphires!
