Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 958 "Frozen Life"

Anthony and Mills pushed Angela's cold body and took the elevator to the first floor. At this time, the neurology outpatient department was off work. Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise it would have been known that they used the equipment used to detect the living to detect the brain waves of the dead. It's not yet known what commotion will be caused.

Even so, they still didn't dare to say anything, they looked sneaky and suspicious.

As they wheeled the cart to the door, Mills' cell phone rang.

"I found that necklace." O'Sullivan said on the phone.

"Fine," Mills said perfunctorily.

"That necklace is made of teeth." O'Sullivan said again, "Have you ever seen such a weird thing?"

Mills turned his gaze to Anthony.

"It's very common for humans to use teeth to make jewelry." Anthony said amplifying his voice. "In some cultures, teeth are believed to have the function of exorcising evil spirits. Queen Victoria once used the teeth of Prince Albert's prey to make jewelry."

"You mean animal teeth, don't you, doctor?" O'Sullivan asked.

"Yes."

"Our technician said that the teeth on the necklace are human teeth, and it's common to use human teeth in jewelry?"

"Some environmentalists use 'human ivory' as jewelry. Is that necklace modern?"

"I look like an antique." O'Sullivan said in disgust, "I'll let someone identify it."

"That's it, I'm off," Mills said.

"Where are you……"

Before O'Sullivan finished speaking, Mills turned off the phone.

"Parents who discipline inconsistently tend to teach rebellious children." Anthony said, "Freedom is more dangerous if it is given later than if it is not given at the beginning."

"There is something in your words, doctor."

"There is a social scientist named Davis who discovered a rule that after a long period of stable development, human civilization will undergo a period of regression. The French Revolution, the Civil War, rapid development can bring people high morale, but Once you encounter obstacles, you will lose your fighting spirit, just like the French and German soldiers encountered in the Russian winter, and they were defeated." Anthony straightened his coat "Once the children who eat chocolate biscuits after dinner stop If you feed him, he will cry, and he will take it for granted to eat biscuits after dinner, and it will be difficult to establish a rule not to let him eat."

"so?"

"Cigarettes and alcohol, not to mention marijuana, have effects on the brain, and these things are not hard to come by for teenagers these days."

"You want to quit?" Mills asked.

"I believe in a soul, so what? Nothing will change."

"Don't you think Angela wants to send us a message?"

"Then I should get a crystal ball, Mr. Mills, and change into a wizard's robe, so it will be appropriate."

Mills didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly opened the door and entered the testing room.

There is no huge equipment like CT inside, there is only a bed, and a long table is placed beside the bed, and there are many equipment on the table, which even looks a bit crude.

"Computers also started with diodes," Anthony said. "It used to take two rooms to fit."

"Go to work." Mills turned around and closed the door, Anthony bent down, transferred Angela to the hospital bed, and began to skillfully operate the equipment.

"She's as light as a feather," Anthony said to Mills as he activated the device.

Mills ignored him.

"I have a colleague." After a while of silence, Mills said, "He joined the police force with me. One day he was on duty in the street. He was shot, but he didn't die. The doctor said he became a vegetable. One day he might wake up."

"So is he awake?" Anthony asked, fiddling with the wires.

"No, I mean the last thing I heard was that he wasn't awake, I haven't had any contact with them for years. But it wouldn't mean much if he did, his wife remarried and he wasn't involved with his daughter Growing up, when John pointed the gun at my head, there was a moment when I wished he could aim a little bit, and I could leave cleanly, without being a drag on others like him, if there is anything more painful than death Just lying there half dead."

Anthony stuck the wire to Angela's cold skin expressionlessly.

"She waited for him for three years." Mills said tremblingly, "Everyone is telling her to give up. She is a loyal person, but you also know that miracles are difficult to see, which is why it is called a miracle." The reason is right."

"The priest made you wait for a miracle?" Anthony asked.

"He told me don't let that bastard win," Mills said bitterly.

"I thought the church was about forgiving someone, even if that person hurt you."

"That's what I told him, 'If God gave me the ability to forgive, I want him to take it back,'" Mills laughed. Well, the prosecutor said I was 'excessive murder,' do you think so, Doctor?"

"I don't know, David, this standard has exceeded what people can define." Anthony said, "If someone hurts the person I love, I will do the same to you."

"Then do you have someone you love?"

"Unfortunately, no." Anthony looked at a corner of the room and said, "The first step in friendship is sincerity."

"No one can enter your life?"

"There were a lot of people who wanted it, mostly women, but they couldn't get what they wanted from me, and they all left."

"Where's that Julie you drove to find in the middle of the night?"

"She has a boyfriend who is about her age."

"Your private life sounds really boring."

"You can understand that I like to be clean."

"Do you find it interesting to live like this, doctor?"

"No." Anthony attached the last wire and stood up.

After the power was turned on, the instrument made a buzzing sound, and at the same time, ripples appeared on the paper tape.

"She's still there." Anthony looked at the ripples on the tape and said, "That's Angela."

"Do you think she'll answer our questions?" Mills asked.

"I don't know, that's why we're here, isn't it?" Anthony gestured for Mills to ask a lying corpse.

"Who killed you, Angela, was it Scat Davis?" Mills asked.

What appeared on the tape was still seemingly meaningless ripples.

"That necklace, is there something wrong with it?"

Still no response.

"You're wasting your time, David," Anthony said aside. "And dollars."

Mills ignored Anthony, staring at Angela's face, as if waiting for her to sit up suddenly, and then say something.

"Can you leave for a moment?" he said to Anthony after standing for a while.

Anthony left quickly. After the door was closed, Mills sat next to Angela and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.

"I was told that when the angels came, I felt hope and courage, and when I killed the man who killed my wife and daughter, I told other people I felt guilty and I shouldn't have done it. , but I just want to tell you that I feel very happy, as if an angel has imposed a judgment through my hand, the doctor said just now, after 37 hours, your brain waves will disappear, and your soul will disappear, but I know, that's not true, you're transforming, like a butterfly shedding its cocoon, you're changing from a mortal person to an immortal soul, I know you're busy right now, but I need your help right now."

Mills whispered, but there was no response. Just as he was about to stand up, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Knock, knock," said the girl.

"Who's where?" Mills asked.

The girl didn't answer.

"Angela, is that you?"

"Don't turn your head," the girl said.

So Mills turned his head away again.

"Did the devil kill you?" Mills asked.

"He's dangerous," the girl said. "Be careful."

"Dangerous? Who is dangerous, Skater or Ethan, I mean the one who hypnotized you?"

"This world is not real." said the girl "Do as I say!"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Pray for the guilty, not condemn them."

"What?" Mills wrinkled his facial features in disgust as if he had eaten a sour pickle.

"When human beings have no faith at all, they will perish like wild animals." The girl said.

"This world is not real, so even if it disappears, it is just waking up from a dream. Can I understand this?"

No one answered him.

"Angela?" Mills tried to ask, then turned his head to look behind him, but naturally there was no one there.

Like everything is an illusion.

　Needed by the plot, not my opinion, besides, "Man will perish as well as the beast" is what Charles Dickens said in his letter to The Times about public executions
