The solid wood staircase creaked as George’s field of vision continued to rise until he finally saw part of the decorations on the second floor.
He was very familiar with Carl’s house and knew that there were three rooms on the second floor, but he didn’t know which room Anna and Carl were in, or if they were in different rooms.
“George, I’m in the room facing the stairs!”
Sure enough, George saw there a door crack had opened at the room facing the stairs at some point in time.
“Why make everything so mysterious?”
Whether it was previously or now, George had never experienced something so eerie.
He had witnessed with his two eyes how Anna’s body had mutated back then.
George did not answer as he walked to the door in silence.
Now, he only needed to push the door open with his hand and he would see Anna, whom he had been painstakingly searching for.
As for what he would actually see when he did push the door open, countless unimaginable images were running through his mind.
After all, it was a fact that Anna’s body had changed before his eyes.
George mentally prepared himself to stay calm even if he were to be faced with Anna who had transformed into an unacceptable form. He knew this was the key to staying safe.
After all, at this point, who knew if Anna would fly into a rage and hurt people?
As he pushed the door open, George’s reached his right hand into his pocket and grabbed the gun.
As the door was gently pushed open by George with his left hand, the scene in the room made him feel that something was simply not right.
He had originally thought that he would see a horrifying scene the minute he pushed the door open, but what he actually saw was Carl sitting across from Anna with a picture in his hand, seemingly in a daze.
Carl seemed to be reminiscing about their university days with Anna.
If he hadn’t remembered why he was here, George would have almost been fooled by the seemingly harmonious relationship between the two.
He knew that Carl was definitely not in his normal state now.
However, he couldn’t wake up Carl either for fear of bad consequences.
Anna was the root of these unstable factors.
Anna now looked like a normal human being. Even her mutated body had returned to its normal state.
It couldn’t be ruled out that Anna was deliberately hiding the changes in her body.
After George walked into the room and sat beside the two of them, he realized that his judgment was right.
Carl completely ignored George. It was as if in the entire room, his eyes could only see Anna who was sitting opposite him.
At this moment, Anna looked at George and spoke, “I know you have a lot of questions!”
George looked into Anna’s eyes as if he wanted to see if there were any changes in her gaze.
Right now, he only had two life-saving items in his hands, a pistol and the black technology storage card that Anna had left for him.
When Anna had escaped earlier, she had displayed astonishing speed, but it was also enough to show that she was afraid of being hurt by firearms.
“Yes, what is this phone card?” George took out the space storage card. He wanted to know more about the card.
“I see you did take the phone card I left behind secretly. This is just an ordinary phone card. You can get a hold of me through the phone number on the back!”
George didn’t expect Anna’s answer to be like this.
Was she lying? Or did she really not know the magical power of this card?
“I called the number, but the other party said they didn’t know you!”
Anna had a strange expression on her face as she said, “Was it a man or a woman who answered the phone?”
Anna immediately showed a look of realization, and she said, “Only if a woman named Aida answers the phone will she tell you where I am!”
George almost rolled his eyes at Anna, refuting in his heart, “How would I have known if you hadn’t told me this earlier?!”
However, he still remembered the name “Aida” in his heart.
“Are you planning to stay here forever?” As George spoke, he glanced at his good friend Carl.
He had to think of a way to rescue Carl. Otherwise, Carl would become mentally disabled if he were left in this state for a long time.
“No. I can leave as soon as I meet you.”
George couldn’t believe Anna’s words. Was there some kind of trap involved?
The next moment, Anna stood up and started walking to the door.
Anna’s actions seemed to have stimulated Carl, who was still in the room.
He made whimpering sounds as if he wanted to stop Anna from leaving.
George stood up as well and grabbed his good friend Carl with both hands.
Suddenly, he felt something flash past his eyes.
In the next second, he could only watch as Carl’s body lost its support. It was just so that George was grabbing onto his good friend, thus this prevented Carl from falling to the floor.
He looked at Anna again. Her right arm had extended to be very long. She had just knocked Carl unconscious at an extremely fast speed.
“Why did you knock him unconscious…”
Before George could finish his sentence, he saw Anna open her mouth. She didn’t make a sound, but George could feel dizziness.
It wasn’t until Anna’s figure disappeared from the door that the suffering completely disappeared.
“What did Anna do to me? Why does my head hurt so much!”
George did not know that the brainwaves released by his brain at this moment had already exceeded the limit for humans.
He was feeling very strange. It was like his body was that of a drunken drunkard’s, but his consciousness was very clear.
Anna had left, but she did not take the space storage card with her.
It was unknown whether she had forgotten or intentionally left it for George.
After a few minutes, George finally felt the dizziness in his head disappear, and his control over his body returned to normal.
He looked at Carl, who was lying on the ground. This guy had not woken up after being knocked unconscious by Anna.
George first walked to Carl’s side and performed simple checks. He found that Carl’s breathing was stable, so it should not take too long for him to wake up.
Then, George picked up the space storage card. It was simply mystical that he found the space storage card to be different from before when he looked at it now.
It was as if there was now a special connection between him and the storage card.
The feeling grew stronger the longer he stared at the storage card.
Suddenly, a strange space appeared in George’s field of vision.
This space was not very big and looked to be able to fit an adult.
The entire space was surrounded by a layer of black special material.
George opened his eyes wide and observed the space in front of him. He found that there were some very small objects floating in the space. They seemed out of place in the special space.
“What is that?”
George reached out and grabbed one of the floating objects. The coolness of metal immediately came from his palm.
“This is! It’s a bullet, a complete bullet!”
He counted and found that there were 24 bullets in total.
They were the bullets that had been stored in the storage card when he had shot at the card with his pistol..
