104 Dead Men Tell No Lies (2/2)

The chard corps was mostly just the head, torso, half an arm, and no legs. The body was burnt beyond recognition, not even the person's gender could be identified without an expert to check. Yet, not long after the Widow's Diary took effect the body everyone saw was completely unrecognizable. It was a woman who appeared to be in her 40s she had brown hair and a somewhat pale complexion.

Gresham was impressed by the small details that the mystic Item didn't skip over. Every missing part of the corps was fixed even the cloths that the woman wore before her death was recreated.

As Gresham and Peter marveled at the mystic Items abilities Randell had already given it a command.

”Reperform everything that this woman did 1 hour before targets death” Randell had already conducted his investigation and seen everything that the Widow's Diary was going to show him so he skipped to the meat of the issue.

Receiving its orders the Widow's Diary immediately got off the table and began its performance. It slumped on the floor started crying silently, her cries of sorrow were quickly changed to cries of pain when she suddenly screamed and jolted about as she looked up at someone with a look of fear before she continued to sulk in silence.

Gresham quickly figured out that the person was someone brought to be sacrificed, but what he didn't know was why she was important.

”Speed up, move 3 times faster” Randell had been at the morgue for a long time, he may have looked like he had a lot of energy, but he was dead tired inside. If it wasn't for the emergency flask filled with alcohol he kept on himself at all times he knew he would long have begun sleeping with the dead.

Following Randell's command, Widow's Diary began to move three times faster than before. Both the voice and actions it performed looked like someone pressed the fast forward button on a tv.

Randell let that continue for a while until he heard the woman utter the word help. At that moment he had Widow's Diary backtrack and mimic the dead woman's actions normally.

The woman spoke softly she had a sore throat from all of the crying she did, but that clearly wasn't the reason why she kept her voice down low she did so to not be caught.

”Please help I don't want to die” the woman spoke selfish words in her attempts to strike a chord sympathy with someone in a bid to get that person to free her and the rest of the sacrifices. The outcome of her attempts was obvious, but what Gresham would like to know is who was she speaking to.

Randell knowing that he was at the right moment he needed gave Widow's Diary a new command ”Take on the form of the person she is speaking to and mimic that persons movements”.

Complying with Randell's orders Widow's Diary became someone Gresham completely forgot about but still hated, Desmond Gillies.
