It was this infinitely elongated time axis that caused his consciousness to approach chaos.
Although he had opened his eyes at this moment, he still felt as if he was in that endless sleep.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a man’s voice saying, “Merlin Lammy, can you see me clearly now?”
Merlin was shocked when he heard this voice.
Strangely, no voice had appeared in his dream for so long.
Even if he dreamed of his wife, daughter, and his deceased father, the images were like early pantomime movies with no sound and only images.
This was the first time he had heard a voice—a real voice.
However, this voice was very strange to him.
What was even more strange was that although this voice was unfamiliar, there seemed to be an indescribable familiarity amidst the unfamiliarity.
He could not help but think to himself, ‘I must... I must have heard this voice somewhere before…’
‘It’s just that... too much time has passed, and I suddenly cannot remember it…’
But at this time, his vision gradually began to recover.
There was no longer white brightness in front of him.
He could already see the towering stainless steel tanks which looked eerie and spooky.
Then, he suddenly remembered Charlie’s handsome face.
He was immediately dumbfounded as he stared at Charlie and blurted out, “It’s you! I remember you! You’re the staff member who was next to that female celebrity! What’s that female celebrity’s name again? Oh... that’s right! Quinn Golding! Her name is Quinn Golding! Homer Fox disappeared because of her! I remember now, you were with Quinn Golding on the day Homer Fox disappeared!”
Charlie nodded, smiled, and said, “That’s right, it’s me.”
Having said that, Charlie snorted and said, “By the way, let me introduce myself. I’m not Quinn Golding’s staff member. My name is Charlie Wade.”
“Charlie Wade?” Merlin frowned and subconsciously said, “Why does this name sound so familiar?”
Charlie had an austere expression as he said aloud, “You must be familiar with it because you have heard about it from the Acker family, right? Let me give you a further in-depth introduction. My father’s name is Curtis Wade, and you should also know my mother. She is Ashley Acker, the eldest young lady of the Acker family!”
