Hearing Wyatt's anxious inquiry, Lird was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, Lird said vaguely: "That... Sorry sir, I'm now... Still in India. ”

"Still in India?" Mr. Wyatt was also stunned when he heard this, but he still sighed lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I know that you are okay now, I will be relieved, you know kid." I hired a lot of private investigators and investigators to track you down when you went to India, even if it was a local Indian manpower, but you disappeared as soon as you arrived in Mumbai! None of this damn shit could give me any useful clues, and I was very worried about that! I was afraid that something would happen to you, and I was really scared all this time... I'm afraid you're going to have some mistakes, my God, I'm really..."

"I'm sorry Mr. Wyatt, but I know this, and it wasn't my mysterious disappearance that time, but I deliberately flicked those tails off. Listening to Wyatt's extremely remorseful words, Liard's heart also gave birth to a strong sense of guilt, and he immediately told the original truth.

"What? did you deliberately dump those people?" said Mr. Wyatt, who was stunned for a moment, apparently unacceptable to the answer.

Lird said, "The people you arranged were discovered by Jim at a very early age, do you remember Jim? the man who brought me to India. He told me that I would either get out of your surveillance or I wouldn't be able to see my father... Sorry sir, but I didn't have much choice at the time. ”

Wyatt pondered for a moment and then said softly, "Silly boy, how can this be blamed on you? It's all... Wyatt really didn't know who he was to blame for this fault, and he didn't sigh.

After a while, Huayat said, "Your father, is he okay now?"

Lird thought for a moment and said, "I can only say that I am still alive now." ”

Wyatt said anxiously: "What happened to Pym? What kind of injury did Pym suffer, why didn't he find a way to send him back to the United States for a transplant? Even if he didn't go back to the United States, there were many good hospitals and doctors in India, and they would definitely save Pym's life! Remember the child, you don't want to be easily brainwashed by others, you have to believe in science and the great medical technology of this era..."

Lird listened silently to Wyatt's words, as if he had seen himself from a distance of time and space, the man who felt so firm about his knowledge of the world, the outright atheist.

At this moment, however, it has completely changed.

In just a few dozen days, the worldview and cognition that Lird has built up in the past ten years have completely changed, or have been ruthlessly shattered.

He learns about the "most absurd" past from his father Pym, understands the mysteries of the Atlantean remnants, and also witnesses supernatural abilities that are completely beyond the human realm!

Now Lird has completely changed.

He was no longer a complete atheist, he already had awe in his heart, he didn't think he knew anything about the whole world, he knew he needed to learn more.

"Kid, kid, are you listening?"

Wyatt's voice brought Lird back to reality from his thoughts, and Lird said yes to Wyatt: "Sir, I understand your feelings, but the situation here is really special... Perhaps the status quo is the best option. ”

Wyatt fell silent again, this time for a longer period of time, and after the silence was over, Wyatt sighed softly, and then said, "Well, son, I trust your judgment. May God bless you. ”

"Thank you. Lird replied calmly.

There was a commotion on the other end of the phone, and then Mr. Wyatt said, "All right, son, I'm not going to talk to you yet, Jenny is here." ”

Lird swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nothing.

Then Lird heard the voice of someone else passing on the telephone, and then there was silence on the phone.

This confrontational silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, and finally Jenny's voice came over the phone.

"Hi. There was no anxious inquiry, just a simple greeting, and in this short word there were a thousand words that Jenny missed for Lird.

"Hi. Lird replied calmly, this time he really couldn't control his emotions, and his eyes were moist.

After a moment of silence, Jenny spoke, "Are you still in India?"

"That's right. ”

"Where in India?"

Lird smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I don't know where I am now, and after leaving Bombay, I no longer know where I am, except that I am now in a relatively remote place, and I don't think even Gandhi would have chosen to hold a rebellion here." ”

Jenny chuckled, "So you're at least safe." ”

"Well, it's very safe. On this point Lird did not hesitate to lose, and he did not want anyone to worry about him, even if he had almost lost his life not long ago.

"Is the view beautiful?" asked Jenny, like a casual wife asking about her husband's business trip, and although the questions were prosaic, there was a final sincere concern in them.

"It's beautiful, the scenery here is not visible in Poland, it makes people feel very... Detached. ”

"Detachment?" is a word that makes people linger. At this time, Jenny actually said quite jokingly.

"It's a place where you can forget a lot of troubles, and I'd love to show you here if I have the chance. At this time, the negative emotions in Lird's heart had completely disappeared.

That kind of crisis and pain were left behind him, and he was like a simple teenager talking to his lover, pouring out the truest feelings and love in his heart.

"And is there a beautiful woman there that you will never want to leave?" Jenny suddenly changed her tone, at that moment she was like a little girl eating flying vinegar in the air, Lird was stunned when she heard this, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Answer my question. Jenny said to Lird in a rather formal tone, a moment that reminded him of the principle of "position" that Jenny had always warned him about.

"Well, let me think about it. Lird seemed to follow Jenny's teasing, the purpose of which was only to tease Jenny, but at that moment, Lird's soft face suddenly flashed in his mind.

This thought surprised Liard.

"Hmph, you guy, how dare you think about it, it seems that you want me to teach you a good lesson?" Jenny's words once again relieved Lird from his stunnedness, and he burst out laughing.

And the laughter seemed to hide something.

Next, Lird and Jenny poured out their thoughts about them during this time, and the spirits of the two had already transcended the interval of spatial distance, and finally merged together, in a dark space, they had embraced each other, felt each other's breath, felt each other's temperature, and felt each other's love.

Time flies, and before you know it, Lird has forgotten the concept of time, and wants to last this moment forever, forever... Forever!

But the cruel display always reminded him, and eventually Lird heard footsteps in the hallway, and Lird heard Jim's footsteps, and it seemed that his time had finally come.

"That's... I'm sorry, Jenny, I'm very reluctant, but... But..."

"I know. Jenny said softly, in a relaxed tone that she had anticipated.

Lird's heart ached even more, and then he kept muttering, "I'm sorry, Jenny, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"No, you don't have to apologize, because you didn't do anything wrong, your choices were the right one, and I will always trust you on that point. ”

"Jenny—" Tears were already streaming from Lird's eyes, and just as the footsteps outside the door had come to the door, and Jim did not enter the room.

At the same time, I also firmly believe in my choice, and I will never regret falling in love with you. Jenny's voice came, and at this moment Lird only felt that his soul had been redeemed like never before.

"Do what is best for you, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

"Love you. ”

When Jenny said all this, Jenny gave a kiss to Lird on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

At this moment, Liard's body couldn't help but tremble. You must know that this time when she hung up the phone, Jenny showed a determination to surpass Lird, and at the same time suffered even greater. Lird knew that Jenny was carrying too much for herself.

Outside the door, Jim still didn't move, as if he was aware of what was going on inside, so he bothered him, and of course he didn't leave.

After a few moments, Lird wiped the tears from his cheeks, hung up the phone, stood up, and after a brief tidying up, said to Jim outside the door, "Come in, the plan is complete." ”

...

By the time he returned from his illusory state, Lird was standing outside his father's tent, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.

Lird sniffled vigorously, and then tried to forget for a moment the sad and sad thing, and now he was lonely, but at least he had his father by his side.

Just as he was about to enter the tent, suddenly the curtain was opened, and Qianrou walked out of it, and behind him was the girl in white.

Qianrou and Lird were immediately stunned when they saw each other, obviously neither of them expected such a scene to appear at this time, and both of them felt an inexplicable embarrassment about this.

Soon Qianrou recovered from this embarrassment and said to Lird, "Are you here?" Lird nodded silently, and he also paid close attention to Qianrou's reaction at this time, as if to analyze from her expression whether she had a positive attitude towards her proposed plan.

But to Lird's disappointment, he didn't get any answer in Qianrou's face.

After hesitating for a moment, Qianrou turned around and said something to the girl in white in the ethnic language, and the girl in white nodded and left immediately, and when she left, she glanced at Lird intentionally or unintentionally, as if warning Lird about something. Lird also glanced at her and gave his own answer.

After the girl in white left, Qianrou said to Lird, "Come in." Then he turned back into the tent, and Lird followed.

The two white-clothed girls in the tent, who had been taking care of Pym, were still there, and at Qianrou's signal, the two withdrew, and Lird sat down beside his father.

Pym was still in the same state as usual, and now he looked much better than before, his pale face was a little bloody, and his dry lips were moist and plump, and it was clear that Pym had taken good care of him, for which Lird was very satisfied and grateful.

"He... Didn't you wake up yet?" asked Lird in a low voice to Qianrou beside her.

"It hasn't been..."Qianrou's voice was also low, sounding quite helpless and self-reproachful.

Learde sighed when he heard this, and then said, "Is there only one week left?"

Qianrou did not answer this, and Lird did not strongly demand an answer, so the two remained in silence.

After a long time, Lird stroked his father's dry hand and said, "I want to ask you a question, I hope you can answer me." ”

"Excuse me. "Qian judo.

Lird slowly turned his head to look at Qianrou and said, "Why did you ask my father to make that 'torch' when you were carrying out the last plan?"

Qianrou was slightly stunned by the word Lird torch, and then realized the true meaning of Liard's question, and her face became very difficult to look at at the moment.

Lird shook his head indifferently and said, "I don't mean to accuse you, in fact, my father told me that it was his own choice, and he did not regret it, even if the pain continued to torment him. I respect my father's choice and judgment, but I'm also curious about the details. In any case, my father is only a foreigner after all, and no matter how much you trust him, he cannot become a member of Atlantis, and this blood relationship cannot be changed. And he eventually came into contact with the core secrets of your tribe, and he did all this... What's all because of that?"

At this time, Lird is like a student who is entangled in a certain problem and toss and turns and can't sleep, in fact, this problem has indeed been bothering Lird, maybe the events he knows are true, but for some of the motives that prompted these things to happen, Lird can never figure it out, Qianrou said that "friends are more trustworthy" He could not fully accept it, and in Lird's thinking, family or clan is the most difficult to let go.

Qianrou looked at Lird, at the eyes that longed for the truth, and finally made a compromise.

"Let me tell you, it's not a secret right now, anyway..."

"Actually, the reason why I made up my mind to choose to cooperate with Mr. Pym in the first place was also because of a kind of 'providence'!"
