Mo Fan could not feel happy at all, as five seconds before the call came in, the same number had sent him a message in three English words. When translated into Chinese, it meant — Help!
However, before Mo Fan could recover from his astonishment, the call came in again. The person was speaking in a calm tone, as if the person was just lonely and scared. Mo Fan was immediately alarmed.
Mo Fan showed the message to the others. Zhao Manting was about to say something lewd, but he immediately shut his mouth.
"What's going on?"
"Mind Control, the guy is controlling Li Yu 'e. He's using her to lure me into his trap!" Mo Fan said confidently.
Even though he had not spent much time with Li Yu 'e, he could tell that she was a very optimistic and strong-willed person. It was impossible for her to say something like that.
That being said, Mo Fan would only find it strange if he did not receive the strange message. However, Mo Fan immediately thought of Philip when he heard the message. Philip must be controlling her!
This Executioner was indeed vicious and cunning!
"What should we do now? Her life might be in danger," Zhao Manting said.
"Don't panic, Philip won't dare to do anything to her for now. I already told her on the phone that I'll call her when I'm almost at the hospital. She'll be fine until I call her again," Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan's reaction was incredibly quick. If he did not say that, it was very likely that Philip would kill Li Yu 'e right after he made the call!
"Should we notify the Sacred Hall Mages?" Mu Ningxue said.
Mo Fan and Lingling shook their heads. They did not want the Sacred Hall Mages to handle the situation.
It was obvious that Philip was closely related to the Sacred Hall Mages in the past. He would surely run away as soon as the Sacred Hall Mages showed up.
They had to get rid of the Executioner in New York. Otherwise, the Sacred Hall Mages would only scare their enemies away!
"That guy thinks he's a hunter, hiding in the dark and trying to take my life at any time. I'll show him who's the hunter!" Mo Fan said coldly.
…
…
? It was already late at night. There were not many cars on the main road. Occasionally, a speeding sports car would drive across the street, followed by the screams of the street racers, who thought they would attract the attention of the whole city. Little did they know, their screams were as unpleasant as garbage to the ears.
A few nurses who had just gotten off work were walking in high heels under the orange light. Their laughter was particularly clear.
A slender figure could be seen under the light. One of the nurses glanced at the man and noticed he had disappeared into the blind spot between two streetlights. It was a mysterious and eerie sight.
The hospital was mainly lit in white. Mo Fan stood at the entrance of the hospital and noticed that there were fewer people at night compared to the day. America's population was not as densely packed as China's. Even the hospital's lobby looked rather empty.
It was a good thing. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to disperse the crowd during the battle.
…
In a ward on the fifth floor, Li Yu 'e was lying on a white bed, staring at the ceiling.
Philip, who had changed into a new outfit, lifted the curtains and looked outside. He did not seem to be in a rush.
He was very patient. Even if he failed this time, there would always be a next time!
"Why do you have to kill him?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"Little girl, you don't seem very scared." Philip turned around with a sinister smile on his face.
"I'm already in your hands. It's useless to be scared," Li Yu 'e said.
"You're a rare ordinary person. Oh, by the way, if you weren't selling drinks, you might be able to become a Psychic Mage. You're almost twenty years old. Don't you know how talented you are? " Philip walked back to the bed and picked up the apple beside him with a bored look on his face. He picked up the fruit knife and slowly peeled it.
"I know, but I don't like it," Li Yu 'e said.
"How interesting." Philip cut the apple in half after peeling it. He gave one half to Li Yu 'e and put the other half into his mouth.
Li Yu 'e was not worried. She started chewing.
"I don't have a grudge against the kid. I'm just following orders. He offended someone he shouldn't have, "Philip said casually.
"Who?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"Oh, it's better if you don't know … it won't do you any good if you know the person," Philip said.
"I'm going to die soon. Why would I care if it's good or bad?" Li Yu 'e said.
Philip looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.
"I've realized that you're quite interesting. However, I have to remind you that death isn't the scariest thing. Many people who offended that person spent their entire lives begging her to grant them death. They were willing to kill their loved ones as long as they could die in peace. Are you sure you want to know the person? "Philip asked.
"Forget it. However, I can see a huge scar on the back of your hand. There are a lot of scratches on it, and it looks like the back of the hand of a Sacred Hall Mage. Were you a Sacred Hall Mage in the past? "Li Yu 'e asked.
Philip raised his hand and looked at the back of his right hand.
He hated the mark. He was willing to stab the back of his hand to remove it. However, even though it was beyond recognition, the girl was still able to recognize it. Philip was confident that if the girl was willing to become a Mage, she would be an outstanding Psychic Mage. Her observation skills were outstanding even though she had yet to Awaken any Magic!
"It's a disgrace to me," Philip raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
"Many people take pride in becoming a Sacred Hall Mage," Li Yu 'e said.
"That's why most people in the world are stupid … I was once a member of this group of people. I never doubted their beliefs. I sacrificed half of my life for them and shouldered responsibilities that didn't belong to me. I only hoped that they could take good care of my daughter. They didn't do it. The Sacred Hall of Liberty has the strongest Mages in the world, yet they couldn't even protect a girl your age, "Philip said with a smile. There was a smile on Philip's face. When he recounted these events, there was not a hint of pain on his face, and even his tone was not agitated.
However, in Li Yu 'e's eyes, it was not because he was calm, but because he hated evil so much!
"What happened?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"I have a daughter. I did everything I could to protect her, to watch her grow up. The day she was chosen to join the Hall of the Goddess of the Parthenon Temple, I was more overjoyed than when I joined the Sacred Hall of Liberty and became a Sacred Hall Mage. It made me feel proud and proud. "I also had a superior. He made a mistake, and the Sacred Hall did not want him to be punished, so I, who had always treated him like a big brother, was willing to bear the consequences for him. "I was expelled from the Sacred Hall of Liberty, and the cultivation that I had worked so hard for was crippled. "My superior promised me that he would help my daughter become a great Mage, surpassing a mere member of the Sacred Hall of Liberty. I trusted him, and was willing to become a powerless person. Even if I had to clean the streets of New York, I thought it was worth it.
"However, one day, something wanted my daughter dead. It wanted to drag her into the abyss of death, not even sparing her soul. "I begged my superior to save her, but he did not do it! "I fought the thing that killed my daughter to the death, but I did not have any magic. "At that moment, do you know how much I wanted my magic to return to my body? I laid on the side like a useless old dog as my loved one cried and watched everything happen …" Philip's expression did not change much. It was so gentle that it was a little strange and scary.
Li Yu 'e fell silent. She had no idea what the world of Mages was like, but she could feel the cruelty that she had never experienced before after hearing Philip's description!
"That person allowed me to recover my magic, and even made me stronger than before. So, do you think I would refuse such a simple request from that person? "Philip said.
Li Yu 'e was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
Li Yu 'e picked up the call as quickly as she could. She was about to yell into the phone, but Philip was even faster than her. His eyes had already lost their usual color before she could make a sound, replaced by a hollow and dull look.
"Are you here?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"I'm here, which bed are you in?" Mo Fan asked.
"Fifth floor, the one at the end of the corridor. Are you here alone? "
"Yeah, do you really think I'd bring a third wheel with me just to see you?" Mo Fan smiled.
"Mm, the hospital is pretty empty at this hour, I'll be hanging up …"
"Don't worry, I don't know the way. I'm already on the fifth floor. Which one do you think is the one at the end of the corridor, the one on the right or the one on the left? There are two here, I don't want to go to the wrong one," Mo Fan said.
"There's only one, the one with the lights on," Li Yu 'e said.
"Oh, weren't you staying in the ward all this time? How do you know there's only one?" Mo Fan asked.
Philip, who was controlling Li Yu 'e's consciousness, was stunned for a moment. He immediately realized something and turned around.
Several black spikes flew at Philip. Philip did not notice when Mo Fan had arrived. He was still on the phone with Mo Fan when the call was still going on …
The Giant Shadow Spikes were extremely powerful. Even with his cultivation, if all the spikes landed on him, he would still be suppressed by the dark energy, and would not be able to cast a single spell.
Most importantly, Philip had been talking to Li Yu 'e and reminiscing about his past. He did not notice that the lights had dimmed all of a sudden. The whole corridor and the ward were filled with an undetectable dark aura!
