Chapter Twenty-Seven: Farewell to the Bearded
It's a new day, but it's Chris's last day in prison, and he's going to say goodbye to Graves and step out of this prison in the afternoon. After breakfast, the two were silent for a long time, and Chris couldn't help but be the first to speak, "Greyfus, I'm going out today!" ”
"Yes! I know! Graves nodded and didn't look at Chris.
"Why didn't Anne come to you today to tell you a story?" Chris couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he moved on to something else.
"Oh, she usually comes in the afternoon, but she's a cute and poor little girl!" Graves suddenly sighed.
Chris frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Why is it pitiful?" ”
"Anne lost her mother at a very young age, and her father was the warden of the prison, but Anne did not get any warmth from her father when she was a child, her world was lonely, and the only thing that accompanied her was the teddy bear. When a child grows up in a single-parent family, you can imagine how lonely her heart is! Graves' gaze seemed to soften a lot, and Chris looked at his face as if he saw a fatherly tenderness.
"Graves, I think you are probably the most important person in Anne's heart now, and it is you who bring a little comfort to the little girl when she is lonely, and I think little Anne must have regarded you as his other father! I wonder if Anne will be very sad when she walks in and finds that her beloved uncle is gone! Chris said.
Graves became sad when Chris said this, "I think I'll probably be a storyteller in this cage for the rest of my life, hey, but at least little Anne won't be lonely because she can't find a good friend to tell a story!" ”
Chris looked at Graves in front of him, and smiled and comforted him as if he had a lot of regret in his eyes, "Actually, I believe you should be out soon!" ”
"Really?" Graves smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "I hope as you say, the world has really undergone such a big change!" ”
Chris looked at Graves' almost desperate expression and suddenly his heart softened, "Hey! Graves, I want to give you a gift before I leave! ”
"Oh, what?" Graves suddenly became interested.
Chris asked, "What kind of weapons do you like?" ”
"Weapons? Think about it? Kindness! Gun it! Graves replied.
"Okay, do you have any metal pendants on you?" Chris asked.
Graves groped his way up and down his body in confusion and shook his head. Chris sighed, "No! Looks like I can't give you this gift! ”
Graves looked at Chris's dejected expression and suddenly had an idea, "Oh. I remembered that the man in your cell once gave me an iron flute, and he said that it was something that had been passed down from generation to generation in his family, and he didn't want it to be picked up by the corpse collector in the prison and given it to me after he died, but I didn't know anything about music, and I could only rust there with this iron flute! He finally pulled out a turquoise iron flute from under his bed, which, though had been preserved for a long time, did not seem to have lost its luster, and seemed to be made of fine metal.
Graves handed over the iron flute and smiled, "What gift can you transform this metal into for me?" ”
Chris took it and looked at it with a smile, "It seems that you really have a relationship with firearms!" I'm ready to transform him into a high-tech pistol that you can't understand! ”
Graves looked at Chris in disbelief, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
However, he soon saw that Chris's determined eyes did not seem to be joking, and Graves looked at Chris suspiciously. Chris held the iron flute in his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly he gently plucked the pivot position of the flute, and the flute actually rotated at high speed, which made Graves dumbfounded, and the flute actually got rid of the control of gravity and spun in the air unscrupulously, this is magic? No! It's not magic, it's magic! Graves sighed from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he didn't know that the chip in Chris's brain had the ability to control all metals, not only that, but this chip also had a superb metal modification ability, which could completely subvert the core molecular structure of the entire metal, and then carry out a new fusion to create a new metal. Graves was completely dumbfounded at the moment, the iron flute had already turned into a black three-barreled shotgun in the spin, yes, it was indeed a gun, Chris grabbed the gun in his hand again and touched it along the barrel of the gun, Graves felt that the gun seemed to be given a kind of life in Chris's hands.
Chris seemed to have finally done all the work, and Graves was about to speak, when Chris made a shush gesture, "This is an unspeakable secret between you and me!" ”
Graves had no choice but to nod and take the gun handed by Chris, and when the gun fell into his hand, he felt a wonderful pillar of light flowing through the body of the gun, and he was surprised, "This is?" ”
Chris said lightly, "Now it's completely activated by you!" I think it will get you out of the encirclement, but I think it's best to use it as a last resort! ”
Graves looked at Chris gratefully, "What the hell are you?" ”
Chris waved his hand, "Don't ask, this is a secret between you and me, I think as a friend, you can always keep it for me, even if you die, don't leak it!" ”
Although Graves had doubts written on his face, he nodded anyway, "Thank you, Chris!" ”
Chris looked at Graves with satisfaction and said, "I think it's a fortune that I can meet such a warm friend like you in prison for a few days, I'm a little tired, let's go rest for a while!" ”
Graves snorted, "I've never seen such a bizarre gun!" "Of course, the most amazing thing is that he has never seen such a strange person, or that he is not human at all.
Chris didn't get up from bed at lunch, and Graves seemed to understand that Chris seemed to consume a lot of energy and matter in the morning, but he would be able to go out soon, and Graves became a little reluctant.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a rush of footsteps woke Chris who was lying on the bed, and he got up tiredly, and Graves smiled faintly, "Congratulations! It's time to get out of this hellish place! ”
Chris turned his head back and glanced at Graves, "Old friend, I love your story!" ”
By this time, the footsteps had arrived, and Chris could see Galen's masculine face, Lux's coffee-colored wavy hair, and of course, the iceberg beauty Caitlin in a police uniform with long hair and a shawl.
