Mofan was not happy at all. Five seconds before the call, it was still the same number, but it had sent an international message in three English characters. It was basically saying, "Help!"
However, before Mo Fan could recover from his shock, he received a call. The person on the other end of the phone used a casual tone. It sounded like the person was just lonely and scared. This immediately alerted Mo Fan.
Mofan showed the message to the others. Zhao Manyan 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!" Mofan said confidently.
Even though he had not spent much time with Li Yu 'e, he could tell that she was an optimistic and determined person. It was unlikely that she would say something like that.
That being said, Mofan would only find it strange if he did not receive the strange message. However, Mofan quickly thought of Philip after hearing the message. Philip must have controlled her!
The Executioner was truly vicious and evil!
"What should we do now? Her life might be in danger," Zhao Manyan said.
"Don't panic, I don't think Philip will do anything to her for now. I already told her that I'll call her when I'm close to the hospital. She should be fine until I call her again," Mofan said.
Mo Fan's reaction was incredibly quick. If he did not say that, Philip might have killed Li Yu 'e right after the call was made!
"Should we inform the Sacred Hall Mages?" Mu Ningxue said.
Mofan and Ling Ling shook their heads. They did not want the Sacred Hall Mages to deal with it.
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. I'll let him know who's the one hunting whom!" Mofan said coldly.
…
…
? It was already late at night. Even on the main road, there were not many cars. Occasionally, a roaring sports car would pass by, accompanied by the strange cries of the racers who thought that they would attract the attention of the whole city. Little did they know that their cries would only sound as harsh as garbage.
A few nurses who had just finished work late were walking along the street in high heels. Their giggles were quite clear.
The light cast a long shadow. One of the nurses glanced at the man and suddenly realized that he had disappeared from the blind spot between two street lamps. It was mysterious and eerie.
They arrived at the hospital. The lights were mainly white. Mofan stood at the entrance of the hospital and noticed that there were fewer people at night than during the day. The United States was not as densely populated as China. Even the main hall of the hospital was relatively empty.
It was a good thing. Otherwise, it would be 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 his clothes, was looking out of the window. He did not seem to be in a rush.
He had plenty of patience. Even if he failed this time, there was always a next time!
"Why do you insist on killing him?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"Little girl, you don't seem to be afraid," Philip turned around with a sinister grin.
"I'm already in your hands. It doesn't matter if I'm afraid," Li Yu 'e said.
"You're a rare ordinary person. Oh, by the way, if you don't sell 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 returned to the bed and picked up an apple with a bored look. He slowly peeled it with a fruit knife.
"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 chewed the apple without hesitation.
"I don't hold any grudge against the kid. I'm just following orders. He has offended someone he shouldn't have, "Philip said casually.
"Who is it?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"Oh, it's better if you don't know. It won't do you any good if you know who he is," Philip said.
"I'm about to die. What's there to talk about?" Li Yu 'e said.
Philip looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
"I think you're quite interesting. However, I have to remind you that death isn't the scariest thing. Many people who have offended that person have spent their entire lives begging her to grant them a quick death. They are willing to kill their loved ones as long as they can die in peace. Are you sure you want to know who he is? "Philip said.
"Forget it then. By the way, I saw a huge scar on the back of your hand, with lots of scratches. It looks like you broke it on the back of your hand, but it looks like the pattern of a Sacred Hall Mage's hand. Were you a Sacred Hall Mage in the past? "Li Yu 'e asked.
Philip raised his hand and glanced at the back of his hand.
He hated the pattern. He did not hesitate to stab the back of his hand into pieces just to get rid of it. However, even though his face was beyond recognition, the girl still recognized it. Philip was sure 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 not Awakened any Magic!
"It's a disgrace to me," Philip looked up at the ceiling.
"Many people are proud of becoming a Sacred Hall Mage," Li Yu 'e said.
"That's why most people are dumb … I used to be one of them, too. I never doubted their beliefs. I've sacrificed half my life for them, shouldering the responsibility that didn't belong to me. I only hoped that they would take good care of my daughter, but they didn't. 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. Philip had a smile on his face. He didn't seem to be in any pain as he recounted the story. Even his tone wasn't agitated.
However, in Li Yu 'e's eyes, it was not because he was calm, but because he was full of hatred!
"What happened?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"I have a daughter. I tried my best to protect her and watch her grow up. When she was chosen to join the Hall of the Goddess of Parthenon, I was more overjoyed and proud than when I joined the Sacred Hall of Liberty and became a Sacred Hall Mage myself. I also had a superior. He made a mistake. The Sacred Hall of Liberty didn't want him to be punished, so I was willing to take the blame for him, since I treated him like a big brother. I was expelled from the Sacred Hall of Liberty, and my cultivation that I had worked so hard for was crippled. My superior promised me that he would make my daughter a supreme Mage, surpassing me, a mere member of the Sacred Hall of Liberty. I trusted him. I was willing to be 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 to kill my daughter. It wanted to drag her into the abyss of death, not even sparing her soul. I begged my superior to save her, but he couldn't do it! I fought the thing that killed my daughter, but I didn't have a single shred of magic. Do you know how much I wanted my magic to return to my body at that moment? I could only watch it happen like a useless old dog while the people closest to me were crying and screaming … "Philip's expression remained the same. It was so gentle that it was a little eerie and terrifying.
Li Yu 'e fell silent. She had no idea what the world of Mages was like, but she could sense how cruel it was 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'd refuse a simple request like killing a kid? "Philip asked.
Li Yu 'e was about to speak when her phone 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. Before she could make a sound, her eyes had already lost their usual luster. They were empty and dull.
"Are you here?" Li Yu 'e asked.
"I'm here, which bed are you in?" Mofan asked.
"The one at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor. Are you here alone? "
"Yeah, do you think I'm going to bring a light bulb with me?" Mofan smiled.
"Mm, the hospital is pretty empty at this hour. I'll hang up first …"
"Don't worry, I don't know the way. I'm on the fifth floor. Which room do you think is at the end of the corridor? The one on the right or the one on the left? There are two rooms here. I don't want to take the wrong one," Mofan said.
"There's only one room, and the lights are on," Li Yu 'e said.
"Oh, didn't you say you were in the room the whole time? How do you know there's only one room?" Mofan said.
Philip, who was controlling Li Yu 'e's mind, was startled. He quickly turned around as he realized something.
Several black spikes flew at Philip. He did not notice when Mofan had arrived. They were still on the phone …
The Giant Shadow Spikes were extremely powerful. Even with his cultivation, if the Giant Shadow Spikes landed on him, he would still be unable to cast a spell due to the suppression of the Giant Shadow Spikes.
Most importantly of all, Philip had been talking to Li Yu 'e and reminiscing about his sorrowful past. He did not notice that the lights in the room had somehow dimmed and that the corridor and the ward were filled with an imperceptible aura of darkness!
