Chapter 264 Father-Daughter Conversation
Although I had confirmed the direction of the river bank, I could not feel Anna's heartbeat.
But in his heart, Winfrey Morgan has always been worried about the 'illusion' that flashed just momentarily. The light in his skull was flashing extremely abnormally, as if he was trying to give him some kind of difficulty by repeatedly turning on and off the waveband. Enlightenment of understanding.
"Is it really just a momentary illusion?"
"Did Anna really appear on the river bank just now? She had been kidnapped and left the hospital by some people?"
"Someone has accurately measured the range of my mind perception, and also mastered a method to deceive the rhythm of my heart, avoiding my detection?"
Winfrey didn't dwell on this dilemma for too long.
A minute later, he opened the first drawer under his desk and took out a gray bone fragment.
This bone fragment is exactly the same as the bone fragment in Anna's hand.
In Anna's understanding, this is a Pokémon newly developed by her father, which allows her father to communicate with her remotely.
But only Winfreth knew that this was the skull of the Heart Beast that he bought at an auction at a great price, and it contained a power that could not be erased by the sands of time.
Even if it is held in the hands of a mortal with no power at all, it can still be used to communicate with the other half.
He tapped the bone fragments lightly with his fingertips, and the other half of the bone fragments in the distance should also make the same tapping sound - that was a secret signal that only the Morgans and their daughters knew.
However, after the first call, there was no reply for ten seconds.
But Winfres was not discouraged. It was already late at night, and his dear daughter was probably already asleep.
But even if the slight sound of the bone fragments could not wake Anna from her sleep, Sinead, who was responsible for the care, could feel the rhythm and gently wake Anna up.
So he knocked a second time... Within ten seconds there was still no reply.
At this time, Winfreth's brows finally furrowed deeply, and his brows were filled with strong doubts and anger that was about to burst out.
He was determined to knock a third time. If he still didn’t get a reply within the agreed time...then I would personally lead the team to Cross Road Hospital immediately!
clatter--
Just when Winfres tapped his fingertips and tapped the first syllable of the third call, the bone fragments were already vibrating slightly on their own. The vibration frequency was slow and weak, and seemed to be a little intermittent.
He seemed to be able to see little Anna who had just woken up. Before she even fully opened her eyes, she was tapping the bone fragments to reply to his message... If Anna had not been affected by the curse, she must have been yawning at this moment. While rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said coquettishly in a lazy tone as if he had just gotten up:
"Dad...are you calling me? Why aren't you asleep so late?"
"Dad...Dad, why don't you speak? What happened?"
The big stone that had been weighing on Winfreth's heart was finally put down, and even he didn't notice that his eyes hidden behind the lenses began to become slightly moist.
He immediately tapped the bone fragment and replied: "It's okay, dad just missed you suddenly."
"Hmph! Dad, you always tell me to have a good rest, and I have told you so many times to go to bed early at night! Don't always sit at that desk, and occasionally get up and move your body..."
The bone fragments trembled slightly as if they were playing syllables. It was obviously just a monotonous syllable without any emotion, but Winfrey seemed to be able to see Anna's little face bulging with life in the distance.
"I assume you must be sitting behind your desk now, too?!"
"Humph! If dad doesn't obey me and take a good rest, then I won't sleep tonight either!"
The lethality of his daughter's slight anger to Winfreth was equivalent to Bede's blade piercing his chest.
He immediately put on a flattering posture - even though Anna was still lying on the bed in the Royal Free Hospital at this time, his pitiful and aggrieved expression could not be seen at all.
"Yes, Anna's guess was absolutely right!"
"But actually, Dad just lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep... But before going to bed, he suddenly wanted to talk to my little Anna, wanted to hear little Anna's voice, and wanted to hear little Anna say to dad. Good night... So, Anna, can you fulfill dad's little wish? "
"Then daddy, you must sleep well - good night daddy, boo!"
Listening to the last monotonous syllable from her daughter, Winfres seemed to be able to see her daughter's intimate gesture.
After he said good night in reply, the shaking of his bones finally stopped.
But Winfres still had a happy smile on his face, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to have disappeared. He looked at the bonsai on the table and murmured: "Anna, just wait for dad for a few more days. It's almost time. Everything is almost ready." Ready..."
………………
In a wasteland beside the bend of the river, Anna Morgan was lying on the back of a deformed boy, her fingertips slowly tapping the bone fragments, and did not stop until she said her last good night.
The strange and skinny bird slowly stood up from the pale hair. As the bird's wings stretched, all the pale hair fell off, like silver threads scattered all over the ground.
………………
Sinead woke up in a daze, and there still seemed to be a violent buzzing and terrifying scissors in her head.
She opened her eyes drowsily and instinctively wanted to get up from the floor. However, no matter how hard she tried to push herself up, she could only barely bend her spine and could not really get up at all.
However, the next second she felt a burning pain coming from her shoulders. When she looked down, she saw that her two arms had disappeared!
The broken part of the shoulder has traces of gnawing like canine teeth, but the remaining flesh and blood also show faint black marks from the flames.
"Fa, what happened?"
Sinead shook her lead-heavy head, and the weak intracranial light rekindled. She suddenly woke up, recalled the incomplete memories before she passed out, and turned to look at the empty bed.
"Miss Anna is missing!"
"There is no news from Kaido and Connor, and they are very likely to have died... and I was also seriously injured... but why did the attacker not kill me directly, but spared my life?"
"The attacker, where is he..."
Sinead suddenly stopped thinking. She realized with horror that she knew nothing about the attacker's appearance, and the memory of herself falling to the ground in a hazy state was a hazy fog that could not penetrate the dark shadow at all.
But the window glass has clearly been damaged. It is obvious that the attacker came from here, and there are several identical footprints left in the pool of blood on the ground. It can be deduced that there is only one attacker, and based on the size of the shoe prints, it can be inferred that the height of the opponent It should be about five point seven feet.
And judging from the injuries on my shoulders, it was obvious that the other party had eaten both of my arms alive with his teeth... This behavior is very consistent with the gluttonous characteristics of Cups. Only Cups are so fond of cannibalizing the flesh and blood of other secret messengers. .
There are still traces of high-temperature baking on his wound. It is obvious that the other party also has the heat to cast the phase!
Judging from the missing memory, the attacker obviously also has the power of forgetting... This should be the moth phaser's best ability to forget.
And being able to erase my memory so easily... the other party is definitely a senior moth phaser of level three or above!
