Mr. Delmar welcomed their presence enormously.

"Oh!" He lay on the cash register and waved to them with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, my dear." He fixed his eyes on Antalina who walked in, there is no doubt that this dear Call her, "What do you want to eat today? It's free for you."

Antalina stared in surprise, while Peter on the side said, "What about me?"

"You? The price has increased." Mr. Delmar withdrew his smile for a second, "Boy, I haven't agreed with you yet."

"Speaking as if I had to ask your permission," Peter muttered, raising his eyebrows.

Antalina heard it from the side, pursed her lips and almost laughed, and then glanced at Mr. Delmar, but she didn't expect to see Mr. Delmar raising his eyebrows and smiling at her gaze.When he saw her looking at him, he raised his eyebrows at her, very teasing.

Antalina smiled lightly and looked away.

When they finished buying sandwiches and were about to leave, as soon as they turned around, Antarina saw an old man with a hunched body, who looked from behind and was on the phone.She didn't feel anything at first, but in the next second, she saw the old man turned around and glanced at them, then turned around and continued to make a phone call.

Antalina frowned, and poked Peter who was about to move forward.

Peter looked back at her with some doubts, and she picked her chin at the old man who seemed to be on the phone.The latter followed her line of sight, knowing what to do, when the bell in the store rang, and a man walked in: "Abel!" he called.

"Henry!" The old man who was on the phone hung up the phone and greeted him.

Peter turned his head to look at Antalina, who also tilted her head to look at him, frowning.

But it's a pity that Peter didn't understand the meaning of raising his eyebrows, and he also clearly expressed his doubts.

Antalina frowned at his doubts. It seemed that she should be disgusted, but the corners of her mouth immediately raised up again.And Peter's reaction was quick, he clearly felt his heart skip a beat at that moment, and then his face began to heat up.

"Henry." At this moment, a woman's voice rushed over.

Antalina and Peter turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a well-dressed woman walking in.

"Let's go." Peter didn't stay where he was, but turned to look at Antalina.

Antalina nodded, and was about to follow Peter to leave, but she was stopped by someone just two steps away.

By the old man just now.

"Holmes," he called directly, ignoring the attempts of the young men and women around him to hold him back, "I know you don't know me yet, but that's okay because I want to tell you next, I'm Abraham Morgan, and you You can just call me Abe. And this is my family Henry Morgan, this is Joe Martinez—” He took a deep breath, “We have something to tell you, privately.”

Antalina stared at him for a few seconds, then moved her gaze to Henry and Joe next to him.

Peter watched them aside, realizing that he might have to get out of the way.

However, in the next second, he heard Antalina say: "Okay, but Peter will stay." She turned her head to look at Peter, and then looked back at Abraham, "I can't face the three of you alone, I believe you can understand me."

"Of course." Henry, who was standing aside, spoke immediately.

However, Antalina also immediately noticed that as soon as Henry opened his mouth, Abraham, who looked the oldest among the three, immediately turned his head and looked over.His expression is dependent, and the hand movements of Henry patting Abraham's back are also somewhat intriguing.

Very pampering, like thinking that the father is rewarding the child for doing something difficult but right.

"Anna?" Peter, who was making tea with Antalina in the kitchen, approached her and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who they are?"

"Do you remember the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy?" Antalina also turned her head and said softly, "Henry Morgan."

Peter searched for memories in his brain, and then his eyes widened: "He won't find anything?"

"Mr. Stark told me before that he went to investigate the case in 78. I think he should have noticed something." Antarina said while looking down at the purple sand pot that had been drenched in hot water. .

"... Then he came to the door like this?" Peter obviously couldn't understand this behavior, so he asked directly.

Antarina looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "So we have to figure out the purpose of their visit. And since there is a detective from the New York Police Department with them-oh Peter, don't make this look, that lady She's a police detective, I thought you knew her the first time you saw her."

"Not everyone is a Sherlock Holmes like you." Peter said as he picked up the tea tray and turned around.

"It has nothing to do with whether I am Sherlock Holmes or not." Antalina wiped off the spilled water on the countertop with a rag. This is her long-standing habit of keeping the kitchen countertop tidy. "I just read more—— I already……"

"One hundred years old, yes, I know." Peter interrupted, leaving the kitchen before her.

Antarina was left stunned in the kitchen, and then laughed.

This is the current situation.

Antalina was sitting on a round chair, and Henry, Abraham, and Joe were sitting opposite her. Peter sat in his observation position as usual - facing these three people diagonally, and making sure that they Know that you and Anna are together.

But he didn't understand. They had been quiet for at least a minute, and Anna didn't seem to want to speak up.

"If you feel embarrassed, you can let me come." Just when Peter felt that the silence was going to last forever, it was Abraham who spoke first.He turned sideways to the other two and raised his eyebrows: "Henry?"

"I said." Henry opened his mouth and gave him a grateful look, but he got stuck when he met Antalina's gaze, "Well..."

Antalina is not a person who likes to watch others get into embarrassment, unless she does it on purpose, so as Peter expected, she took the initiative to speak: "I think I am a little far from the definition of a scourge, so you don't need to show to be so afraid of me."

Henry’s expression relaxed a little, but he was still nervous: “I…”

"Then let me make a bold guess. You investigated the previous case." Antarina said, "And I believe you have confirmed through some means that I am the survivor of that case, or the survivor is not suitable To describe my state, I'm just... just a passerby."

Henry's expression looked like he didn't expect her to tell the whole story so quickly, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Yes."

"So..." Antarina raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you an immortal?"

The expressions of Henry, Abraham, Joe, and Peter were blank for a second. Finally, Peter was the first to react and turned to look at Antalina: "You..." He blinked, opened and closed his mouth for a while, and then came out. One sentence, "There seems to be nothing to be surprised about? Right?"

"No, you still have to be surprised." Antalina corrected him gently, "After all, immortality is not a common thing, even in our world full of superpowers and mutants. Will die over time, just slower than normal."

Henry exhaled, and it took him a while to react: "May I ask, how old are you?"

"It should be more than 110 years old this year." Antalina replied.

"Oh, she's much younger than you." Abraham opened his mouth immediately, without any reaction to what he had exposed.

"Wait a minute." Joe finally spoke, facing Antalina, "How did you know... the immortals all of a sudden?"

"The more common answer is to observe." Antarina also looked at her, with the corners of her mouth curled up, "Abel—to be honest, his acting skills on the phone are not very good; then Mr. Morgan patted him on the back, And his look of dependence on Mr. Morgan. Of course, these can be interpreted as my neurotic associations, but I can't find anything that can make three adults take the initiative to speak out with a high school student in a shop with surveillance The reason for talking in private, not to mention that you didn’t include your respective identities in your self-introduction. Then add the definition I just gave to my status as a passer-by, and Mr. Morgan didn’t refute it.”

"Very powerful." Henry praised.

Antalina just smiled, showing no positive or negative emotions that should be shown after being praised, and she can't even find a trace of humility on her face: "So combined with the background of my eternal life, plus I can’t think of any reason for you to come to me for some things that happened recently. But I don’t understand.” She paused, “You came to me to prove that I am an immortal? This situation is a bit out of character .”

"Because I met another immortal before, he...he is a complete lunatic." Henry said.

"Do you mind if I ask..." Antalina was silent for a moment, "How long did he live?"

"More than 2000 years." Henry said, and then he saw a dazed and sad expression on the girl's face.

——She is just as he thought, full of compassion for the world.

"Then, why are you here looking for me?" Antalina asked the question again.

Abraham and Joe looked at Henry at the same time, but Henry chose to remain silent on this question, and when Abraham lost his patience because of his silence again and planned to ask it himself, Henry took the lead: "Just want to confirm."

He looked at Antarina's expression as if she knew everything, and repeated, "That's all."

Then they had a very pleasant dinner time, Antalina is undoubtedly a person who is very good at making friends, she did not let anyone at the table be left out.Even when it was just Peter sitting quietly beside her eating a fried egg, she would occasionally turn her head to ask if he needed more meat or something else.

She is a very comfortable woman.

Antalina and Peter personally sent them downstairs.

Both Joe and Abraham saw what was going on and walked a few quick steps to get into the car first. Peter also saw what was going on and said he went upstairs to clean up the garbage after the meal and then turned around and left, leaving Antalina and Henry standing in the same place. Both of them were silent.

But the silence didn't last long, because Antalina said: "You have a very good family."

"Yes." Henry said, "I'm sorry to disturb you."

"No, in fact, I'm already looking forward to the next time we have dinner together." Antalina said with a smile, but then said, "But you should not come to me in the near future, but when you notice Please be sure to notify me when there are some strange people around."

Henry was silent for a while, and proposed: “You know if you have any trouble…”

"This one won't work." Antarina interrupted him softly but firmly, "I'm very glad to know you, and I'm glad that you came to find me before you were not sure what kind of person I am—although the I’m still a little confused.”

Henry twitched the corner of his mouth: "Didn't you say that before." He looked at her, "Did I check the previous case?"

"So?" Antalina couldn't react.

"I know..." Henry's expression became serious, "or I can tell that it was you who called the police."

This time, Antalina was silent, and she remained silent for a long time.Then she smiled, frowned and smiled very happily, with a hint of wetness: "Thank you for being willing to think of me so kindly."

Henry read more from this expression: "Thank you for letting me know that my persistence is right."

The author has something to say: Henry is the only chapter that comes out, and he probably won't be there in the future.

Here is an excerpt of a line from "Undead Forensic Doctor". I really like the three views conveyed by this drama:

——I have seen many deaths, many pains and sufferings, but I have also seen many births, many beauties, and many miracles.It doesn't matter how many years we live, our life is a collection of beautiful moments, we never know when and where good things will happen, but they will always follow us and be engraved in our soul.

So everyone can imagine why Henry said the last sentence.
