chapter31：Kelly's Danger

Jack, do you know? Kelly has joined a rather strange organization. In that organization, there is a bearded man who is conducting some extremely terrifying experiments. I'm worried that Kelly might be in danger. Tom said with a frown and a face full of anxiety.

Jack's eyes widened in astonishment as he said, "What? This is so awful. We must find a way to get her out of that organization."

However, their conversation was overheard word for word by Steve. Steve was startled in his heart, for he was well aware of the seriousness of this matter. He returned to his room, sat in front of his computer, and after a moment of contemplation, opened his email and sent an email to his net - friend, the "Frankenstein" Ivan, detailing the children's situation.

"Ivan, by accident, I overheard that my children are involved in a very strange matter. My daughter Kelly has joined a mysterious organization, and there is a bearded man behind it who is in charge of some things. I'm very worried. Do you have any suggestions?"

Before long, Ivan replied to the email: "Steve, I suggest that you don't startle the bearded man behind the children for the time being. This matter might be far more complicated than you can imagine. Any rash action might bring greater danger to the children."

...

Meanwhile, Kelly, who was only 12 years old, was in the midst of the ignorance and annoyance of puberty. As it turned out, she had already secretly started her first relationship. But recently, she clearly felt that her boyfriend had become cold towards her.

Kelly sat in the corner of the campus, with her chin propped up by her hands, and said to her best friend Cindy with a worried face, "Cindy, I think Bom has been very cold to me lately. I suspect that he might have fallen for someone else."

Cindy patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Kelly, maybe you're just overthinking it."

Kelly shook her head. "No, I feel that he must have someone else. I must find out."

After some secret observation, Kelly suspected that the person who had stolen her boyfriend's heart was Coco from the neighboring class. This Coco was always very flamboyant at school, liked to wear the strongest perfume, and strutted around the campus in high - heeled shoes.

Finally, one day after school, Kelly witnessed a heart - breaking scene with her own eyes. She saw her boyfriend Bom and Coco kissing in the boys' toilet. At that instant, Kelly felt as if her heart had been severely hit.

And Coco seemed to have noticed Kelly's presence long ago. After catching a glimpse of Kelly out of the corner of her eye, she deliberately provocatively arched her shapely hips, lifted her high - heeled - shod foot, and looked at Kelly sideways with a contemptuous look.

Kelly was so angry that she trembled all over. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Well, you Coco, how dare you steal my Bom and provoke me like this. I will definitely let the bearded man punish you severely. I want him to cut off your legs and see how you can still seduce my Bom!"

Kelly turned around and left angrily, her eyes full of anger and hatred. As she walked, she was thinking about how to get the bearded man to help her achieve this goal.

...

After returning home, Kelly walked straight to her room and closed the door. She took out a special communicator, which was given to her by the bearded man and was specifically used to contact him.

Kelly pressed the button on the communicator and said eagerly, "Bearded man, I want you to do me a favor. I want you to punish someone severely, that is Coco from the neighboring class. She stole my boyfriend and humiliated me in public. I want you to cut off her legs."

A deep voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Kelly, you should know that this is no small matter. However, since you have made such a request, I will consider it. But you should be clear that every time I use my special ability, there is a price to pay."

Kelly said without hesitation, "I don't care what the price is. I just want her to be punished. Bearded man, you must help me."

The bearded man was silent for a while and then said slowly, "Alright, Kelly. I will find a suitable opportunity. However, you should also be mentally prepared. Things might develop in a direction that you don't expect."

After Kelly hung up the communicator, she sat on the bed with a faint sneer on her face. She seemed to have already seen the picture of Coco being punished, and the anger in her heart had subsided a little.

...

On the other side, Tom and Jack were still discussing how to get Kelly out of that mysterious organization. They knew that this matter was like a time - bomb, which might explode at any time and bring great disaster to their family.

Tom said worriedly, "Jack, we must find a way. We can't let Kelly sink deeper and deeper."

Jack scratched his head and said after a moment of thinking, "Second brother, let's first secretly observe Kelly's actions to see if we can find some clues, and then figure out a way to solve this problem."

Tom nodded. "There's no other way. I hope we can rescue Kelly before things get worse."

...

Night fell, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness. In this seemingly calm night, countless secrets and impending crises were hidden.

Kelly was thinking about the scene of Coco being punished even in her dreams, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. While Tom and Jack tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

...

In another secluded corner of the city, the bearded man was like a mysterious shadow, standing quietly in the darkness. In his hand, he held a mysterious document. The paper looked ancient and dilapidated, and it was densely filled with all kinds of grotesque, alien - like creature patterns as if from another world. Those patterns were distorted and eerie, as if they were slowly wriggling on the paper, exuding a bone - chilling aura.

The bearded man's eyes were tightly fixed on the document, and he muttered to himself. His voice was like coming from a deep, ancient well: "Although this little girl's request is somewhat cruel, this might be an opportunity. Perhaps, I can use this matter to take my inter - stellar plan to a higher level."

As soon as the words were spoken, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. That glint was like a will - o' - the - wisp suddenly lit up in the gloom, flickering uncertainly in the darkness.

...

In the early hours of the morning, the night was like ink that was too thick to be diluted, weighing heavily over the city. The oppressive darkness seemed to have substance, as if it was about to swallow the whole city in one gulp.

Tom lay quietly on the bed, like a fish that had been mercilessly thrown ashore, his body constantly tossing and turning. Each turn was like a powerless struggle against the monster of insomnia, making it difficult to find the peace of falling asleep.

His heart was filled with worry and fear. Lucy's safety was like an inescapable cloud hovering over his heart, and that mysterious bearded man was like a ghost hidden in the darkness, making him feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

All kinds of disorderly thoughts were wantonly entangled in his mind, like a tangled mess. Trying to sort them out was in vain, for those thoughts seemed to be alive, getting more and more tightly entangled.

He held his mobile phone tightly in his arms. To him, that mobile phone was like the only life - saving straw in this dark and confusing world, and it was all of his spiritual sustenance at the moment.

His eyes were empty and dull as he murmured to the mobile phone, his voice full of endless helplessness and confusion: "Beautiful sister, where on earth are you? If you were here, how would you handle these things?"

His thoughts gradually drifted away, as if being pulled by an invisible wind, floating back to the time he had spent with the beautiful sister in the past. Those memories were like stars dotted in the night sky, shining brightly, yet the distance was so far. He could only stand on this far - away shore, looking afar, but never really reaching them.

Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the thick darkness of the night sky. The brilliant yet short - lived light was like a ray of dawn of hope, gently shining on Tom's face through the window.

But at the same time, his mobile phone, as if being manipulated by a mysterious force from the unknown, automatically dialed a strange number.

The beeping sound of the phone rang. That monotonous sound was extremely sharp and ear - piercing in this quiet early - morning, like an invisible hand randomly scratching at people's eardrums, making people's nerves involuntarily tense up.

After a few rings, an old woman's voice finally came from the other end of the phone. The voice carried an uncontrollable eagerness, a feeling as if being chased by something: "Hello? Hello?"

Tom was startled all over by this sudden voice. He couldn't help frowning and asked with a puzzled face, "Who are you? I'm sorry. I think I dialed the wrong number..."

The static on the phone crackled like a storm raging madly in the phone line. The raging sound made the woman's voice on the phone come over intermittently: "Hello, you are... I am... Ah, it's me, Amy, the one you asked for help from before. What's the case you just mentioned?"

"Case?" Tom felt as if there was a thick fog constantly churning in his head. That fog made his thinking extremely chaotic, and all his thoughts seemed to be trapped in a quagmire.

He became a little more sober and began to search for memories about this woman in his mind. However, his exhausted brain was like an old, dilapidated machine that had been out of repair for a long time, and it ran extremely sluggishly. Every thought was like a difficult trek.

He vaguely felt that this old voice was somewhat familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Amy? I don't quite understand what you're talking about. I have to hang up." Tom said feebly while rubbing his temples.

At this time, sleepiness swept over him like a surging tide. The power of the tide was so strong that he was unable to resist this intense drowsiness that was almost drowning him.

After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation. Then he was like falling into a bottomless quagmire and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The light on the mobile phone screen gradually dimmed, like a star about to go out. The room was once again shrouded in deathly silence.

However, this unexpected phone call was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Although the lake seemed still calm for a short time, in the depths of the water, circles of ripples had already been stirred up.

A mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere was quietly spreading in this darkness, as if an invisible hand was slowly pulling open the curtain of an extraordinary event, heralding that something astonishing was about to happen.
