"What about the others?" She wasn't satisfied.

"I didn't think much of it. There are so few clues! I shook my head.

"A living statue, not at least some pervert. Tsk, the security of this world is becoming more and more difficult to understand. Lin Zhiyan flicked her tongue.

"Don't be stupid, I don't believe anyone can do that." I snorted disdainfully, "That girl's time is obviously frozen in the moment before she died." Whether it's the movements, or the expressions of the face, it's completely natural. I'm afraid that something difficult to explain happened to her, but it was definitely not man-made. ”

"What's incomprehensible?"

"I don't know. But when it comes to living statues, I do think of one thing. I looked out the window, my mind recalled, and slowly said, "Have you ever been to Mexico?" In the north of that country there was a small town called Vava, and there was a very ordinary and very unusual bridal shop in the town. It's ordinary because there are many of these bridal shops in that town. In an unusual place, there is a lifelike mannequin standing in front of the window, the model is a young woman, she is very real, the blood vessels of her hands are clearly visible, and her sparkling eyes flash with a strange smile. It can even be said that it is mocking the world. ”

"The bridal model in the window, tall and slim, holding a large ball of roses in her hand, looked exactly like a real person. Outsiders may think she is a model sign for a wealthy shopkeeper, but there is a legend among the locals of Vava that this model is actually the dried corpse of the former owner's daughter!

The people of Vava said that the model was called Miss Pascala and was a biographer. She is a mystical and a mystery that she began erecting in this window 75 years ago, and the local radio station has compiled an accordion folk song featuring her. When I heard about it, I went to that town to investigate. ”

Lin Zhiyan held her head with her palm and listened with relish.

According to the current owner, this bridal shop has attracted many people because of this terrifying legend of leaving. Over the past 80 years, countless tourists have traveled thousands of miles across the Wawa Desert to see Pascala, the 'ghost bride'. Some tourists even make a special trip from South America, the United States and Europe just to be satisfied.

The street in front of the bridal shop was so full of traffic. Most of the tourists came for the story behind the 'ghost bride', they got out of the car and rushed forward, the noses of the people in front were attached to the glass, and the people in the back were looking hard to see if the model was a corpse.

It is said that the bride model has not changed for so many years, and it is still so lifelike, even many details, such as her hair, her fingernails, and her skin, look like the real thing. ”

"Interestingly, after all these years, Pascala's story has become more and more divine, like a biography that has been played out for more than 70 years, and finally is full of gods, dreams and horrors. I visited a lot of people in that town, and I got a little idea of what was going on. The story should start 75 years ago. ”

"On March 25, 1930, the wedding model "Pascala" appeared for the first time in the window of a bridal shop. The bridal model in a spring bridal outfit became the center of attention for the whole city. The wedding model has a pair of big blue deep eyes, jet-black hair, and white and red skin. Every little detail of her body is similar to a real person, making it impossible to tell whether she is a wedding model or a real person.

This suspicion was quickly uncovered by the locals. Many people have been observing wedding models for many days and suddenly discover an amazing secret. This model looks very similar to the female owner of the bridal shop, like a mother and daughter. One can't help but think of the daughter of the owner of the bridal shop. According to rumors, the owner's daughter was bitten to death by a black spider at the wedding. So the story of the new version of the bridal model was born, and it was rumored in the town that the hostess of the bridal shop made her daughter's body into a dried corpse and placed it in the window.

People believe in the 'dried bride' in this new version of the story, and many people call to accuse the female shopkeeper of being inhumane and how she can make her daughter into a dried corpse. In the end, the female shopkeeper had no choice but to ask a notary public in the city of Vava to notarize it for herself and publicly deny the rumors. But it was too late, no one believed her, and the name of the female shopkeeper, Pascala, instead became the permanent name of the wedding model. No one knows if the shopkeeper actually had a daughter, or what her name was, but Pascala remained in the legend of Vava forever. ”

As the years passed, the story of Pascala, the "bride of the dried corpse", not only did not fade, but evolved into more mysterious and dramatic plots. Its most romantic and divine thing is to borrow corpses to resurrect souls. Legend has it that a magician from France fell in love with the wedding model 'Pascala' at first sight and used magic to bring Pascala back to life. Pascala was seen traveling with a magician at night.

Passers-by who pass by the bridal shop late also have a creepy experience. It is said that after the bridal shop closes, Pascala will change his posture at night, dissipating passers-by. I don't know if it's a suspicion or not, the customers of the bridal shop say that as soon as they walk in, Pascala's eyes are fixed on them. Wherever they went, Pascala saw.

These stories scared the clerks who spent their days in the bridal shop with Pascala. The clerks tried to avoid being alone in the store and refused to change the wedding dress for the 'Pascala'. But there are always unbelievers, and Pascala changes his wedding dress every two weeks. Every time the wedding dress is changed, the shopkeeper will pull out the curtains of the shop window to give Pascala a private space. The clerk who had changed Pascala said her palms were sweaty as soon as she walked into Pascala. The clerk said, "Her hand is the same as a human hand, and I can even see veins in her legs." I believe she is a real person. ”

I paused, then shook my head and smiled, "Pascala doesn't bring people all fear, but also traces. It is said that a girl and her boyfriend quarreled outside the shop window. When she ran away angrily, her boyfriend shot her. The girl got down, looked at Pascala in a pool of blood, and shouted 'Pascala, help me, help me.' The girl survived. From then on, the story of Pascala's miracles spread throughout the city, and people began to worship her as a god. Every year on November 2, Mexico's Day of the Dead, schoolchildren in Vava City light candles in front of Pascala windows, and many lay flowers and candies made of skulls.

This thing is very famous in Mexico and attracts countless good tourists every year. The current owner of the bridal shop said he was going to make a "visitor directory" for visitors to leave messages. At the same time, a small memorial was opened for Pascala next to the bridal shop. The owner of the bridal shop may be the only one who can solve the mystery of Pascala, but he always laughs at people's questions and doesn't answer them. The shopkeeper said, 'Some people say Pascala is a dried corpse, some say she is a wedding model, really, a lot of people say that, but I can't tell the truth.' ’”

I licked my lips, "Actually, to be honest, the truth is very simple. After investigating, I even sneaked into the bridal shop at night. Late, that bridal model is even more terrifying. I touched it, and there were indeed bones in it, and the skin was also animal skin. Smooth and delicate, and even plenty of moisture. So I pulled a little bit of skin under her feet and took it out for testing. It was confirmed, and it was indeed human skin. The model used to be a living person. As for how she became a dry corpse model, how she didn't decay, and kept it so intact, whether her deeds were the same as the legend. Indeed, with the death of the first generation of shopkeepers, it has long been impossible to verify, and it is unknown. ”

"You mean, if 1/10,000 of that schoolgirl this morning was human-made, maybe she would have done the same thing as the dried corpse bride made eighty years ago?" Lin Zhiyan understood, and sure enough, it was easy to talk to smart people.

"Not bad. Both of them have similarities. I nodded, "The dried bride, if you pay attention, has never changed its posture for more than eighty years. Moreover, her posture is too natural, as if time has frozen in her. It's as if she was in that posture when she was temporary, and even her expression was natural. Expressions may be sculpted, but how can a dried corpse with flesh and skin be sculpted? It can only be kept as it was at the end. And the dried corpse bride, when she was dying, showed such a strange smile, as if she was mocking the other party. Don't you think that this kind of smile is very strange and unfriendly when used on the model? ”

"And this morning's girl is like a dried corpse. It was as if time had frozen, and my expression was frightened, and I made a gesture of wanting to throw something......" As I spoke, I frowned, stood up and ran outside. By the way, since she made a throwing gesture and there was nothing in her hand, it meant that the thing in her hand had been thrown. Before the police noticed, they should be able to find it around!

Seeing me run out, Lin Zhiyan was incomprehensible, but her steps were not satisfied, and she immediately ran out.

When I came to the school gate, I stood where the living sculpture stood in the morning, looking left and right. She came up behind me and whispered, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Find something." I replied, and slowly stepped back from where I was standing.

"You want to simulate what happened to that girl?" She asked again.

I nodded, and said as I stepped back, "This girl, facing the gate, should be walking outside the school."
