Neither Joyce nor Han thought they would see Calvin again in such a short time.

When they parted, the two of them thought that Calvin would choose to act alone with Red Deer. After all, the atmosphere at that time was too dignified, so dignified that it seemed that the departure of the two would be eternity.

"You heard what just now..."

Han hesitated to speak to Calvin.

Calvin nodded without waiting for him to finish speaking: "I heard it."

"From the moment you died..." Calvin said to the two former police detectives, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I just kind of... don't know what to do."

Neither detective spoke.

Calvin, who went back and forth, was filled with a rather strange aura. His face was pale, and there were bruises under his eyes caused by long-term poor sleep, but his eyes were so calm and holy.

It is cold and clean like a stream formed by melting ice caps in early spring.

Even people like Joyce and Han couldn't help but feel shocked when they suddenly met such Calvin after hearing the terrible nightmare about the end of the world described by Isaac.

But Calvin's attention itself was not on the two of them—from beginning to end, there was only one person he cared about.

After a simple conversation, he passed Joyce and Han and walked towards Isaac.

The sedative that Joyce and Han gave Isaac was originally effective, and Isaac seemed to have even fallen asleep, otherwise the other two would not have gotten that brief peace.

However, the appearance of Calvin is no different from a shot in the arm for Isaac.

The moment he heard Calvin's voice, Isaac let out a low cry of pain.

In a sense, Isaac's tenacity has indeed exceeded the limit of human beings - he can almost be said to have come out of a coma by force.

"Gal... Calvin..."

Isaac squeezed out a fragmented whisper from his throat.

He struggled to open his eyes, tears streaming down his face due to the effect of the medicine, and he looked extremely distressed.

Isaac has been staring at Calvin since he appeared, and the muscles on his face are beating unconsciously.

It can be seen that the scene he "dreamed" before... Calvin's self-sacrifice and Joshua's phagocytosis caused him great psychological trauma.

And the drug effect of the sedative tortured him even more.

Such Isaac made Calvin feel unspeakably sad.

Calvin hugged Isaac, who was fragile and confused like never before, patted the latter's back, and repeated to him softly: "It's okay, Isaac, it's okay. I'll take care of the rest ..."

His actions overlapped with what Isaac had done to him many years ago.

At that time, he had just entered Holden's house and had a peaceful life like a dream, but he always had nightmares in his dreams because of past events, and finally woke up crying in extreme fear.And at this time, Isaac, who was only an older child at the time, showed amazing maturity. He would always jump onto Calvin's bed barefoot, and then hugged his bloodless brother tightly, clumsily And slapped the opponent's back hard.

【"It's okay, I can swear to you, you will be fine..."】

"It's not a dream, is it?"

Isaac hugged Calvin tightly, and he said hoarsely to Calvin.

Calvin was silent for a moment, but then, looking directly into the other person's eyes, he spoke slowly:

"Isaac, you should know that I can't let that kind of thing happen to us...it's too cruel. I can't let you kill me with your own hands, because I know it will become your eternal psychological shadow and eternal torture."

"you believe……"

"I'm sure you're not crazy, you just saw something ahead of time."

Calvin's voice was calm and warm. He paused and then continued, "Sleep first, Isaac, we'll talk about this when you get better. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

While Calvin was speaking, the gentle white light spilled into Isaac's skin along his lighted fingertips.

"Calvin..."

Isaac let out a muffled grunt, then slowly closed his eyes in Calvin's arms.

But this time his voice finally returned to normal, instead of full of pain and confusion.

And just like Calvin healed the scratches on Red Deer's face before, with the "power" gradually spreading inside Ai Zac's body, Ai Zac's large or small wounds exposed outside his clothes were visible to the naked eye. Visible speed heals quickly.Even Isaac's pale face turned rosy little by little.

A few minutes later, Calvin put Isaac back on the bed.

Han glanced in Isaac's direction, and involuntarily sighed "Wow".Yes, the man lying on the bed now looks like his skin is smooth and his face is rosy. He is no longer in a coma because of weakness and tranquilizers, but more like falling into a sweet sleep in happiness and sweet dreams.Even without the assistance of any medical equipment at all, it can be seen from the naked eye that Ai Zac's body has been adjusted to the best condition, including the internal damage caused by the previous serious gunshot wound, which has also been perfectly healed.

Seeing this scene, Joyce raised his eyebrows silently, but neither he nor Han sensibly asked Calvin what he had done to Isaac.After all, the "people" they have to face now have far exceeded the scope of what science can explain.

Calvin lowered his head and watched Isaac, who was breathing steadily, for a long time before turning his head.

"That's not an ordinary nightmare. It's some kind of omen," Calvin said abruptly, knowing that the other two in the safe house were listening carefully, "or rather, something similar to a prophecy .But this kind of thing is not completely impossible to change... Otherwise, the person who made you have this so-called 'nightmare' would not be so stupid."

"Wait, you mean, everything Isaac saw was artificially arranged?"

"The person who made Isaac dream? Who are you referring to..."

Joyce and Han spoke out almost at the same time.

The two former police officers suddenly became alert because of Calvin's explanation.

They were instantly withdrawn from the psychedelic state of being haunted, and their bodies and emotions were tense to a state of alert at the same time.

"No, strictly speaking..."

Calvin blinked. He didn't seem to realize that the other two would have such a big reaction that he had to start thinking about his words.

And the red deer, who has been quiet since returning to the safe house, just stepped forward at this moment, and finished the next sentence for his lover: "That may not be human."

Calvin turned his head, and he took a deep look at the red deer.

In fact, when Isaac talked about the dream about the future, the first thing that popped up in Calvin's mind was the figure of Doctor Holden—not the living old man who raised him, but the The old ghost who would still appear in front of him from time to time after the funeral.

choose the right path -

The weird, old, and desperate whispers faintly echoed in Calvin's ears.

All along, the shadow that always appeared in front of him at critical moments, is that really the soul of Doctor Holden?

Calvin's heart was subtly shaken.

At the same moment, Red Deer unconsciously stroked his fingertips.Of course, he also felt some kind of unusual aura. That kind of more unpredictable and strange force had disturbed the intimate contact between Red Deer and Calvin countless times.It even burned the red deer's fingers to prevent the red deer from touching Calvin's skin.

While Isaac was crazily talking nonsense, the red deer had already keenly captured the familiar and disgusting thin breath.

"A warning." Red Deer said softly, "That is not a future destined to happen, but a warning."

"You mean, if we can't successfully kill Joshua of the Advent faction, we will be like what was foretold in that dream..." Han said.

"To be correct, if we continue to use the previous plan full of mistakes and omissions, you and your old boyfriend will die in embarrassment like in a dream."

Red Deer shrugged, then pretended not to hear Han's tiny protest at the "Old Boyfriend". (However, Han probably didn't realize that Joyce beside him was quite silent, and didn't say anything to refute Red Deer's slightly frivolous teasing. Of course, this is something that Han will not need to consider and worry about until a long time later ).

"We've actually made a mistake all along," Calvin said, his eyes downcast and dark. "We've been misled. From the beginning, we've avoided the possibility of confronting Joshua head-on. We've always wanted to We're going to blow up that ship and let the sea and the explosion do our job of killing Joshua for us."

"Isn't this the most feasible way?"

Joyce said.

Calvin shook his head: "I don't think...it shouldn't be."

While speaking, he glanced at Ai Zac who was sleeping.

"Otherwise, Isaac wouldn't have foreseen such a terrible future. No matter who made him see all this, he just wanted to remind us that the previous plan was not feasible."

The faces of the two police officers gradually became serious because of Calvin's words.

Although Calvin didn't say it completely, they already vaguely understood some of the other's thoughts...

"Why not let Joshua come to land? This is probably the easiest way. The only thing we have to deal with from the beginning to the end is my brother Joshua, not the cruise ship."
