The video of the Mocalian’s demonstration had finished playing.
However, George’s eyes were still fixed on the screen, and he stayed unmoved like a statue for quite some time.
When he saw the strange posture of the Mocalian just now, he immediately recalled that Anna had done the same posture before.
One could imagine the shock in his heart at this moment.
“Anna! Could she be a Mocalian? That’s impossible! I’ve searched through Anna’s past before she entered Yale, how could she… Could it be that she deliberately hid her past? That’s not possible too. If that’s the case, there’s no way she could have escaped Yale’s strict background checks. Or, could it be that after Anna entered Yale, her body was taken over by aliens?”
George was guessing Anna’s identity, which reminded him of his previous actions in university.
There were quite a few male classmates who liked Anna, and many had investigated Anna’s past.
As long as one’s past could be entered into the archives of Yale University with no issues, it was enough to prove that this person’s background was trustworthy. It was even an important proof to build a network.
Anna’s past had been recorded in the archives as well. From her childhood to the school she went to, the number of times her family had undergone change and why, and even the people she had come into contact with.
A very detailed report of her past had been recorded.
This was because Anna and George had entered the university to major in space physics.
Space physics was a subject that aimed at leading the nation with technology, and thus required the background of anyone who entered to be extremely clean, without any stains.
This was also why George did not believe that Anna was an alien. He guessed that something must have happened to Anna after she entered Yale University, causing her body to be abnormal.
This was not George’s random guess as there was evidence that such events had happened before.
As a space physics student, he would often come into contact with some very strange things, many of which were rare materials that had entered Earth from outer space.
As George thought of this, he had a clearer idea in his mind.
“Anna must have come into contact with outer space materials before and was affected to some extent! That must be it! So the most urgent thing now is to find Anna!”
With this, George took out the phone card that Anna had given him before she escaped.
There was an unknown number written on the back of the old phone card. This was the only way he could contact Anna at the moment.
George picked up the phone and started dialing. But halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
“This can’t do, If the agents eavesdrop on my phone call to Anna, things will be troublesome!”
Thus, George gave up using his phone and put on his coat to leave the house.
He was going to go to the mall outside and call Anna from a public phone.
Night had fallen. After more than ten minutes of traveling, George entered a store that was open 24 hours a day.
There was only one man on duty in the store, acting both as the salesperson and the security guard.
The man was about 40 years old and had a beard. His pale face revealed that he had not had much rest recently.
When the man heard the sound of the door ring, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome young man walk in.
“Hello, may I borrow your phone?” George, who had just entered the shop, asked.
The man did not speak but pointed behind George.
There was a landline, which was currently unused.
“Thank you!”
After George thanked him before walking over and picking up the phone. Then, he dialed the phone number that he had memorized in his mind.
After a short wait, an unfamiliar voice sounded in George’s ear.
The other party’s tone was very tough. He didn’t even ask who was calling first, and directly asked who George was looking for.
Under normal circumstances, the other party was very likely to be a staff responsible for receiving calls. It was likely that there would usually be a lot of calls, causing the other party to develop a habit of asking who the caller was looking for first, and not who the caller was.
George immediately fabricated a fake identity to deal with the other party.
“I’m a teacher from XX University. I’m looking for a girl named Anna!”
After that, he did not forget to add, “This number was given to me by Anna. She said that I could find her by dialing it!”
On the other side of the receiver, there was a short silence. The other party did not hang up the phone, nor did he respond.
George did not speak either. He waited patiently. Under strange circumstances, remaining silent was always the wisest thing to do.
After about three minutes, the sound of objects hitting each other came from the receiver. It was like two iron bars hitting each other.
After the other party had answered the phone, he had only asked who George was looking for and then remained silent to his response. And now, there was this strange sound, which made George very anxious.
George was thinking that he would wait for a few more minutes. If there was still no response, he would hang up the phone.
However, as the sound of things clashing became clearer and clearer, a low male voice sounded, “Are you looking for Anna?”
The voice that suddenly appeared made George unable to react for a moment. He paused for a moment before coming to his senses.
“Yes, I’m her teacher. Do you know where Anna Is?”
“She’s dead!”
Hearing the other party’s words coming through the receiver, George was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the phone.
“What?! Say it again, who’s dead?”
“Anna is already dead!”
The other party immediately said it in a more certain tone, causing George to feel as though his head had been struck by a bludgeon.
He was completely dumbfounded…
George originally wanted to continue questioning the other party, but a series of beeps came from the receiver.
Obviously, the other party had hung up the phone.
He was very unwilling to accept it and dialed the number again. However, when the beeping sound came from the receiver again, it was apparent that the other party refused to answer the phone.
“Damn it, what kind of strange people are these!”
George did not believe the news of Anna’s death that he had heard on the phone just now.
This was because there were only two possible scenarios: that was Buck had found Anna, or had accidentally killed her during the chase.
If any of the two had happened, Buck would have definitely informed him at the first moment.
George picked up the phone again and dialed Buck’s cell phone.
Not long after, Buck’s voice rang in his ear.
“Hello?”
“Buck, it’s George. How’s the pursuit of Anna?”
At the same time, in order to hide his concern for Anna, he immediately added, “Our team is very interested in Anna’s strange body…”
However, before he could finish his words, Buck interrupted him.
“George, I’m very sorry. We were unable to capture Anna. Two of my colleagues have died, and I’m currently recovering in the hospital…”
Buck’s tone was very weak, while George was very worried about Anna’s situation.
“Why did you have such serious casualties? How is Anna? Did you not capture her?”
