"Ivan?" Walker waved his hand in front of Ivan's eyes.

Ai Fan suddenly came back to his senses, sat upright and looked at Walker: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Walker stared at his eyes for a long time worriedly, although he couldn't see any difference from before: "Are your eyes still not fully healed?"

"Huh? Well, I still can't see a little from time to time." Ivan didn't know how to explain his distraction to Walker for a while, so he could only open his eyes and talk nonsense, "What did you just say?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you how Cosma is doing over there." Walker was still holding Old Pod's coffee downstairs in his hand.

When he was taking the elevator back to his office on the top floor, he remembered Ivan's visit a few days ago, so he thought of stopping by to ask.

Ai Fan smiled: "Very good, she used to be too busy working in the museum, but now she looks much better when she is free."

Since Walker's showdown against him at the last dinner, he has changed a lot towards Walker, who has always been worthless in his mind, and he hasn't fooled him with lies, and everything is true.

Walker nodded, turned around and left a sentence before heading to the stairwell: "Okay, that's fine, you siblings need to take care of each other."

Ai Fan paused for arranging the office documents on the table, and wanted to take another look at Walker, but his back had already disappeared around the corner.

Ai Fan was a little discouraged, he supported his forehead and pressed his temple.

Ever since he learned about those things from Kesma, he has become sensitive, and no matter who says what, he has to go through his mind several times.

Three days ago, Fowler Hill.

Kesma's face was very solemn: "Millie's parents were executed by the people above. Many old people in Mount Fowler know that there are many versions of the reasons."

The most likely version is that Millie's parents accidentally knew something they shouldn't know when completing the assigned task.

But the truth is that as long as the "criminals" stay here for a little longer, they will more or less know such things that can't be seen. The only difference is whether you know how to make yourself look innocent.

These things were told by Cosma when she took Millie for a walk one night.

"That day I took Millie out for supper, and when I went for a walk in the back mountain to digest my food, I met a man who knew Millie." Kesma said, "He greeted Millie, and then we chatted briefly. Let me be safe."

At first, Kesma felt strange.

In fact, many people would greet Millie when they saw her, but no one was Millie's friend, and no one seemed willing to take extra effort to take care of Millie who was still quite young.

Millie's father disappeared when she was four years old, and Kesma couldn't imagine how the little girl came here alone in the next two years.

That's why she met such a withdrawn Millie in the first place, alone.

Until the man reminded her: "If you stay with this brat all the time, please pay attention to yourself."

"Why?" Cosma didn't think there was anything about Millie that everyone should stay away from.

The man glanced at the empty surroundings, reached out and turned off his bracelet.

Cosma received the man's gaze, and also turned off her and Millie's bracelets.

Then the man went on to say: "It is said that the parents of this kid were executed by the people above."

Kesma hesitated: "I know this...but..."

"Heh." The man chuckled, and there was a sense of ridicule or something in his suppressed voice, "If you want to live here longer, you should know what not to touch, what Shouldn't have known."

Kesma felt that it was exaggerated: "Millie knows something at such a young age, even if her parents were... disposed of because they knew something, it has nothing to do with her."

The man crossed his arms and looked at Kesma for a long time before saying, "You think it's okay, can you guarantee that others think it's okay, I just look at it for the sake of your surname Benson."

Kesma froze, because of Wutu's status in the circle, she never mentioned her surname to anyone here, but there were very few first names.

The man saw what Kesma was thinking, and explained: "I know your mother, you have traces of her on your body."

Kesma brushed her long hair unnaturally: "Then others..."

"Normal people can't tell. To be precise, I know your mother better." The man pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled. "Anyway, you should pay attention to it yourself. This place looks like a pension."

There are people here who know my aunt. To be honest, Ai Fan is not surprised at all. Many of them here were captured by his father himself.

But after listening to Kesma's words, Ivan fell into deep thought.

Ji Chuan directly picked the most important part and asked her: "Do you think Uncle Primo's accident is because of something you know?"

Kesma nodded: "At that time, Ivan was not born yet. At that time, Uncle Primo and my mother often discussed something, and the conversation lasted for a long time. I would be coaxed to sleep first."

Ji Chuan knew that Ai Fan's aunt—that is, Kesma's mother—died because of Ai Fan's birth.

Ji Chuan glanced at Ai Fan, and seeing Ai Fan nodding, he opened the wooden box in his hand and put it on the bed.

Kesma stared at the strands of hair inside in a daze: "Is this left by my uncle?"

Ai Fan nodded: "It's grandma's hair. I've seen it with many people, but no one knows what it means."

Kesma was very cautious before reaching out: "Can I take it out and have a look?"

"Of course." Ai Fan and Ji Chuan both laughed.

But Ji Chuan didn't reach out to pick it up, he just held the box.

Kesma studied this jet-black hair for a long time, and the atmosphere froze for a while.

But she finally came to the conclusion: "It seems that grandma was quite young when she left this hair."

Evan: "..."

Ji Chuan: "..."

Only Millie deserves to be serious: "That's right."

"Pfft—" Ai Ji and the two suddenly laughed, and all the solemnity just now was broken by Kesma's words.

But Kesma clicked his tongue without laughing, and then said: "If this hair is related to what uncle discovered, it means that this matter may not only be a simple 30 or [-] years ago, but it must be counted from our grandfather's generation." rise."

Ji Chuan was taken aback.

Ai Fan quickly reacted. He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the reason why I felt that there was something wrong with my dad's cause of death from the very beginning is because my dad seems to have always been a little bit reluctant about the cause of my grandfather's death."

Kesma nodded, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "Now it seems that every time my mother takes me to visit grandpa's grave, it may not be right. She always asks me to avoid it, saying that she wants to make grandpa feel at ease. "

Millie, who had been silent for a long time beside Kesma, suddenly asked, "Why does your mother know that your grandpa is worried? Is it because your grandpa came to find your mother?"

Kesma touched her little face: "Maybe, many people who have passed away will entrust their dreams to their living relatives."

Speaking of this, Ai Fan couldn't help frowning.

For him, people who are related to him are like a shield.

The information seemed even more vague than his Chuanchuan, so he couldn't feel the slightest change in Kesma's desire to use the forbidden technique.

In other words, as a spirit descendant, he has seen countless undead, but he has never seen his own relatives, not a single one.

Ivan grinned self-deprecatingly, not only had he never seen it, but even Kesma had never dreamed of it, no matter who it was.

In front of their relatives, they are the most ordinary ordinary people, and any ability is useless.

"Actually, I know what my mother looks like." Millie said calmly.

This sentence made the three of them focus their attention on her, and Kesma asked very carefully: "Did your father show you the photos?"

Millie shook her head: "After Dad passed away, I saw them from time to time, just by my side."

Kesma and Ji Chuan quickly looked at Ai Fan who was on the side.

Ai Fan frowned and checked Millie back and forth several times, but failed to find any traces. He confirmed to her, "Is there any rule about the time and place where your parents appear?"

Millie shook her head again: "I don't know, sometimes I can see them standing beside my bed while I'm half asleep."

Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows, isn't this too creepy...

"When was the last time?" Kesma asked.

This Millie remembers it clearly: "It was a month ago."

"Then did they say anything to you?" Ji Chuan felt that this was the most important thing.

"No." Millie shook her head again. Although they had never spoken, she had an intuition that the woman beside her father must be her biological mother.

Ai Fan pondered for a while and asked, "Is there a pair of wings behind them?"

Millie nodded again and again, but she was puzzled immediately, and asked with her mouth slightly pouted, "Doesn't everyone have wings behind their backs?"

The three of them were taken aback again.

Millie clasped her little hands, and said hesitantly: "Besides my parents, I sometimes see people with wings beside the people here."

Later, Ivan got down on one knee in front of her and explained the difference to her.

Millie asked him belatedly: "So... Actually, I have only seen guardian angels, and haven't seen ordinary undead..."

Evan nodded.

Kexma seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked her, "Have you told anyone else about seeing your parents?"

Millie shook her head: "No."

Kesma breathed a sigh of relief: "In the future, don't tell anyone that you have seen them. If someone asks you, just say that you don't know if you understand."

Millie looked at Kesma and nodded firmly. Although no one told her these things, these things seemed to have always been in the depths of her mind, and the agreement was mature.

If it wasn't for Kesma today, maybe she would rot this matter in her heart.

Ji Chuan looked at the little girl's quiet face and touched his chin: "Millie...why do you trust us so much?"

Kesma glanced at him, meaning that it goes without saying, it must be because of her.

But Millie said unexpectedly, "Because your surname is Benson."

The three of them were taken aback again.

Especially Kesma. In fact, until today, she had never told Millie her last name. It was the full name that she just introduced Ivan to her.

"This is my brother, Evan Benson."
