Chapter 20: Epilogue
Hidden in the shadow of an abandoned building, a woman dialed a phone with an anxious and panicked look, and when the call was answered, she hid in the darkness and said in a whispered voice, "I'm sorry, Director Davis...... I am extremely reluctant to report you bad news. (Banyan ● Tree ● Literature ● Learning)
My plan failed, and of course, my identity must have been revealed...... Yes, I'm sure I was following them and seeing them unhypnotize the boy I controlled at the last moment—unintentionally, but they did...... Successfully dismantled the implication ......"
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the woman in the shadows' face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly explained, "No, Davis, believe me, it's not my ability. For the sake of prudence, I had previously conducted an experiment with a family that had been completely successful, and that family had killed each other four days later. But...... Among the four people this time, there is a guy with a fairly high IQ. That guy was so clever that he saw through my plan and saved all four of them in a near-hypnotized state...... Ah, Davis, I'm not making excuses. ”
After some listening, the woman's body trembled, and the phone in her hand almost fell. She hung her head blankly and said in a sobbing tone, "Okay...... I understand. Director, of course I don't dare ask you to settle this matter personally, I just think that an S-class member should be sent over to settle this matter...... And I'll go back to headquarters to be punished......"
With that, she turned off the phone, stood with a blank stare, then let out a long sigh and walked into the narrow alley behind her, disappearing into the darkness. When Sean woke up, a bright light shone through the windowpane on his cheek, making him feel slightly glaring, but despite this, he squinted his eyes to see everyone standing next to him: Dad, Mom, but also Kirton, Lu Hua, and Lancy. They were all looking at themselves with concern at the moment—but where was this—
"Son, you're finally awake!" Sean's mother happily cupped her son's face and slapped it on his forehead. "Mom, where is this-" Sean looked around and found himself lying on a bed in a strange room "This is the hospital room, Sean, can't you remember - you passed out, it was Kirton who brought you to the hospital and informed us. Sean's dad said. I...... Passed out - why did I pass out - " Dad sighed, "The doctor examined your head while you were asleep and found that your brain had been controlled by someone — to be exact. You've been in a state of high hypnosis for the past few days—Sean, what's going on, do you remember—"
Sean looked blankly at the three friends, unable to find any answers on their faces. "I just remember Leanne having a head massage with me at home and telling me stories," he struggled to remember, "and it felt so comfortable...... I can't remember what happened after that. "It's finally time to figure it out," Curton thought—he asked—"Sean, do you remember the name of that story she told you during the massage—
Sean struggled to reflect for a moment. "The name of the story seems to be 'Mystery Killing'. By the way, it's a strange story, and there's you in it, Kirton. and Lan Qian, Lu Hua ...... "Needless to say, we all know what's going on." ”
Kirton glanced at the two friends next to him and sighed, "Sure enough—what we've been asking, the story Sean listened to, is actually what we experienced." And these days, when we are with Sean, we are actually in his hallucinatory field, and hypnotized by those materialized visions. ”
"What's going on—" Sean looked at his three friends, "I can remember something about what I've been through these past few days...... Could it be that all this is my dream-" "It could be a dream for you. But we have really experienced another adventure. Lancy said, shaking her head.
"All right, kids. Now tell me what the hell is going on with all this-" Sean's mom asked. "Auntie, this matter is a long story, let's tell you more about it in the future." "The most important thing right now is to catch Leanne, she's the culprit in the whole thing — did you call the police to arrest her-"
"After Sean went out last night, she went out with her, and she hasn't come back yet. I'm sure she ran away — of course, we called the police — but I don't understand what the hell happened between you and Leanne - why did she hurt you—" Sean's dad said with a frown. "yes, I want to know why, too." Lancey said gloomily, "What the hell is wrong with our fake - this weird, dangerous thing happened one after another!"
Kirton looked at her and said, "Lancy, you can't see it until now—the two incidents we encountered are clearly connected. "Ah...... What do you mean......" Lu Hua opened his mouth.
"Yes, what Director Xin told us in the Chamber of Secrets - he's not alone. Behind him, there is also a huge secret organization. Lu Hua said incredulously, "Could it be that Leanne is also a member of that organization - because we have insight into the evil plans of that organization, so she plans to kill us in this way - oh my God, how many people have been planted by that organization around us-"
Hearing their conversation, Sean's mother asked in a panic, "You mean, this matter isn't over yet-" Kirton and the three friends looked at each other, feeling speechless - he knew very well that although this incident was resolved, no one could guarantee that they would encounter any unknown dangers next. Will the secret organization give up—Kirton shuddered at the thought of this. At this time, Lu Hua walked to Kirton's side, took his shoulders and said, "Don't think about it anymore, Kirton - no matter what happens to us in the future, I believe that as long as the four of us are together, we will solve the problem." ”
He looked at Sean on the hospital bed. "Yes, Sean—" "That's right. Sean nodded affirmatively. Lu Hua turned his head to look at Lan Xi again, and Lan Xi squeezed her eyes mischievously at them while giving them a thumbs up. Kirton stared at his three best friends and smiled.
