Cao Kun understood that Sophia's personality naturally included a side that dared to take risks and seek thrills.

However, she was completely terrified by this incident.

Now, with an exorcism master like Cao Kun by his side, and having already understood the ins and outs of the matter...

She also knew that destroying all of Mary Shaw's dolls would kill Mary Shaw completely, so she was no longer so afraid.

The hidden side of their personality was thus revealed.

In fact, the reason why people are afraid of ghosts is mostly because of the unknown.

Once you know what a ghost is and how to deal with it, you won't be so afraid anymore.

As soon as Sophia finished speaking, a long object suddenly fell down and wrapped around the axe, trying to take it away.

Sofia looked up and saw that it was another tongue.

She quickly gripped the axe with both hands and began to struggle with the tongue.

More tongues fell and coiled around the axe, putting Sophia at a disadvantage: "Master Cao Kun, help me."

Just as Cao Kun was about to make a move, he heard footsteps nearby.

He turned his head and saw a dense array of dolls emerging from the darkness.

At first glance, there are probably several hundred.

They stepped forward simultaneously, their synchronized footsteps carrying far into the dim space.

Suddenly, they opened their mouths again and made strange noises:

Beware of Mary Shaw's gaze;

She had no children, only dolls;

If you see her, don't scream;

Otherwise, she'll tear your mouth open and rip out your tongue.

They chanted this eerie song in unison, then simultaneously grinned, raising the corners of their mouths in an arc, as if they were laughing.

Cao Kun found the scene somewhat unsettling, but that was all.

Making him scream isn't enough.

At the same time, Cao Kun was also a little surprised, as there were far more Mary Shaw dolls than in the movie.

"Her soul can actually be divided into so many parts."

"It seems I underestimated her before."

Cao Kun shook his head secretly.

Then, he took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"By the banner, all souls shall come swiftly. Only with my protection can they attain divine power. This is my decree."

As Cao Kun chanted incantations and made hand gestures, terrifying power enveloped the puppets.

As the illusory figures were absorbed into the Myriad Souls Banner, all the puppets collapsed to the ground.

"Huff... huff..."

Sophia let out a long breath, and Cao Kun also collected the fragmented souls from the dolls on her head.

She plopped down on the ground, panting heavily: "Thank...thank you..."

"Let's go in and take another look." Cao Kun ignored the dolls and continued walking inside with Sophia.

Mary Shaw is a rule-breaker; you could say she's strong, she's very strong.

Once Cao Kun screams in fright, he'll probably have a hard time escaping.

For ordinary people, if they cry out, they have no chance of escaping; they only face certain death.

But if you say she's weak, then she really is weak.

As long as you don't scream in fright, she can't do anything to you.

Even if you are an ordinary person, she cannot kill you.

In particular, after experiencing more of these things, the fear threshold increases, and you will no longer be easily frightened.

The probability of screaming decreases.

Mary Shaw's intimidating skills are limited to just a few tricks.

Make the puppet suddenly move.

Have a doll suddenly appear in front of you.

Make the doll make weird expressions and movements, such as attacking you with its tongue.

Turn someone you know well into a corpse.

Even the person you come into contact with might be a perfect doll.

It must be said that although these methods are old-fashioned, they are all very effective for people who have never met her and do not know her.

The probability of being startled and screaming is very high.

This is also why Mary Shaw was so successful.

Cao Kun and his companion toured the entire theater and found dozens more puppets, collecting all the fragmented souls inside into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In a head-to-head matchup, Mary Shaw is far from being a match for Cao Kun.

Basically, they're destined to be instantly killed.

After leaving the theater, Cao Kun used his curse to continue searching for the other Mary Shaw dolls.

This time, the puppet no longer points out the location of the theater.

"Let's go to the cemetery."

Cao Kun and his companion headed straight out of the town.

“Master Cao Kun, there really is a Mary Shaw grave here.”

Sofia stood in front of a very old tombstone and recognized the name on it.

Cao Kun: "Not only is there Mary Shaw's grave, but there are also many other graves nearby, all of which belong to the children she killed."

"Huh?" Sophia was startled, then became furious: "Damn Mary Shaw, I'm going to dig her body up! Master Cao Kun, wait for me, I'm going to get a shovel."

Cao Kun stopped her: "Wait a minute, count how many tombs there are in total."

Although Sophia was puzzled, she still counted them one by one.

Not long after: "There are 101 tombs in total around here, plus Mary Shaw's own, making 102."

Cao Kun nodded slightly; this point matched up with the movie.

In the movie, there are 101 Mary Shaw dolls.

However, the number of puppets they encountered in the theater just now was in the hundreds, far more than that.

But this is not contradictory.

The people buried in these 101 graves were killed by Mary Shaw during her lifetime.

The puppets in the theater were killed by Mary Shaw after she became a demon.

Sofia added, "I'll go find a shovel."

"No need for that trouble."

Cao Kun raised his hand, and several Yin talismans disappeared into the ground.

Cao Kun made a hand seal: "Earthly Fiends arise..."

Boom boom boom...

This time, the earthly evil spirits that were activated were extremely powerful.

The entire cemetery was shaken.

As if bombs were exploding, the cemeteries burst open one after another.

Sofia's eyes widened. This works?

She discovered that Cao Kun was even more powerful than she had imagined.

Just as Sophia was about to go to see the graves, Cao Kun stopped her: "Don't move."

"What's wrong?" Sophia asked, puzzled.

Having activated such a powerful Earthly Fiend in one go, Cao Kun also felt a heavy burden.

If it weren't for the fact that he's currently at the ninth rank of the Evil Platform, he would never have been able to do it.

Cao Kun took a deep breath, expelling the stale air from his body, before saying, "Those tombs don't contain ordinary corpses; they're very likely those dolls."

Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately froze.

Cao Kun stepped forward and opened the coffin in Mary Shaw's tomb.

"Why is it empty?" Sophia exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Kun was not surprised.

A perfect doll is not so easy to make.

Mary Shaw must have used her own corpse to be able to make it.

Furthermore, only then can one control the puppet completely without hindrance, making it almost identical to a real person.

Cao Kun did not answer, and went to look at other tombs.

Sure enough, soon, one after another, dolls appeared in the coffin.

However, these dolls were somewhat old, and their workmanship was far less exquisite than the ones that appeared later.

These dolls seemed dead, not possessed by Mary Shaw's spirit, lying quietly and motionless in the coffins.

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her axe, and was about to chop at him.

Just then, all 101 puppets suddenly opened their eyes.
