Chapter 50: The Turbulent Crowd of Puppets

```

In the corner of the Dissolving Cave, bodies piled up like small mountains, and a faint stench of decay spread through the air. The clothing styles of the corpses varied greatly, not belonging to any single era.

Xu Yi frowned and stared at the mass of corpses, feeling a strange and eerie sensation.

"People go missing in this area from time to time, and the state government has sent investigators, but nothing was ever found. Now it seems Mary Shaw is behind this," Hunter said, his voice low as he gradually regained his strength.

The way the bodies were stacked was peculiar; they all faced away from them, their faces obscured.

Laura, driven by curiosity, turned one of the bodies over, and then jumped back in horror.

The corpse's face was fixed in a weird smile, their lower jaw had been sawed off and then reattached. The eyes in their sockets were not human eyes but glass beads.

"These are... dolls? Mary Shaw has been making dolls!" Hunter's voice trembled.
