Chapter 47

The next day.

Evelyn returned to Massachusetts, where she would use the manuscript in her hand to achieve fame and fortune.

And Frank also decided to take Mary to a higher institution of learning. By the way, they had to move and find a more suitable place to live.

It just so happened that Louis recommended Orlando. Compared to Tampa, Orlando's status in Florida was much higher, and the environment and economic situation were also better. Of course, the most important thing was that there were some universities and middle schools with good academics there.

And Frank agreed after a short hesitation. There was no way around it; this was the financier, and the suggestion he made was very normal. He couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"It seems we can be neighbors in the future."

Louis said to Mary.

"Oh oh! That's great!" Mary cheered, holding the one-eyed cat Fred and swinging it back and forth. The one-eyed cat was very docile, but it was swung until its eyes rolled back, and it was about to meow.

For Mary, if Frank was her most important relative, then Louis was her most important friend. Now, not only did she not have to leave Frank, but she could even play with her friend often. Two joys were superimposed together. Was there anything happier than this!

Really, it's great!

Watching Mary's lively side, Frank smiled with relief.

He made the right decision.

However...

Thinking of what Evelyn said yesterday, he couldn't help but be distracted.

He knew very well what kind of person his mother was—serious, rigid, like an Englishman. Oh no, she was originally an Englishwoman.

Such a person couldn't lie to him about this kind of thing. But, how is it possible?

How could there be such a thing in the world.

If it really exists, why didn't she study it herself?

Frank's smart brain thought for a whole night and finally reached a conclusion.

The thing should be true. The reason she didn't take it out for research was because the thing couldn't be kept. This thing is different from math problems.

So, she was really doing it for me and Mary?

No.

Frank was shocked.

He thought of one thing. She said at the time that this thing was originally prepared for Mary, which means Mary would spend a lot of her youth in it.

And this was just to calculate the answer before she was old enough to die, so that she could achieve fame and complete her dream!

In the final analysis, it was more for herself.

Moreover, if this thing is really as she said, it is probably not a good thing.

Stealing time... hehe...

It is clearly overdrawing life and the future!

"I can't give this thing to Mary. Let's talk about it after... after she becomes an adult."

Frank made up his mind.

Although he had made a decision, Frank didn't leave immediately. He had lived here for a long time after all and needed to deal with some things.

For example, some friends...

Bonnie... Robert...

And Louis also temporarily stayed in a nearby hotel. Things were perfectly resolved.

Just as Frank and the others were preparing to leave.

A rumor about a great white shark appearing on Amity Island, not far from here, was slowly spreading. However, the local townspeople were still going their own way, making people wonder whether the rumor was true or false.

A few days later.

Having resigned and held a party with friends to say goodbye, Frank received the cabinet that Evelyn had transported.

This cabinet looked very old, but it was not small, just enough to accommodate two adults moving within a limited range.

He picked up the letter from Evelyn that came with the cabinet, which had a key, and opened the letter.

It first said that she had already talked to Dr. Seymour at MIT, and Mary could go there to study next. Of course, Mary could also go when she was older. Everything was up to him.

Obviously, this was Evelyn's resource in the education sector. She perhaps cared about Mary somewhat.

And what followed was the main topic.

Frank's eyes also gradually became serious.

It wrote a lot of research content about this thing. Obviously, Evelyn had done experiments.

It said that this thing could speed up the passage of time. The time flow inside and outside was different. A few hours inside was only a few seconds outside.

It could act on living and non-living things, but it couldn't provide other extra conditions, such as soil nutrients, etc. It was just simple time acceleration.

It should be noted that the time passed inside is real, which means it consumes your own life and improves efficiency in reality.

From the perspective of others in reality, you will age very quickly.

Moreover, whether opening the cabinet or leaving the cabinet, a key is required. Once you don't take the key, if it's outside, it's fine, but if it's inside, the cabinet will not be able to open, and the final result will be...

There were two more photos at the back of the letter: a cat put into the cabinet, and a layer of ash inside the cabinet.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Remember, it is very dangerous, use it with caution!"

"Indeed dangerous."

Frank couldn't even imagine how much of a stir this thing would cause if it were exposed. It couldn't be kept, it couldn't be kept at all.

Putting the letter away, Frank decided to take this thing to his new home and absolutely not use it, otherwise, he was worried he would get addicted.

Just the next day.

Frank, Louis, and the others started on the road, heading toward Orlando.

And not long after Frank and the others left, the special shark attack incident on Amity Island happened again. Blood stained the sea, severed limbs were washed onto the beach by the waves, and it appeared in full view of everyone, seen by many tourists.

This incident instantly caused an uproar. Amity Island beach business was completely paralyzed, and even the coastal area of Tampa, not far from Amity Island, set up warning signs, prohibiting tourists from entering the water.

Fortunately, Frank left early, otherwise his work would probably have to stop too.

Soon, under the pressure of government orders, townspeople's economy, and life safety, the local sheriff chose to gather people and ships to hunt the shark!

A thrilling struggle between the great white shark and humans happened.

And under the ocean, in the forest, there were more terrifying special lives moving because of various reasons—nuclear pollution, natural, mutated, etc.

Louis didn't notice the great white shark incident. At this time, they had already returned to Orlando.

In front of the house, David and Jenny, as well as Emma and Yulenka, were all waiting for Louis. It's just that everyone was holding their hands behind their backs, looking a bit strange.

Zzz—

The black sedan stopped. Louis got out of it, just revealed a smile, and hadn't spoken yet.

"Haha! Louis, welcome home!"

Bang!

David and the others took out party poppers from behind their backs and fired them toward Louis.

Colorful ribbons fell all over the sky.

Frank and Mary, who had just stopped the car behind, looked at this scene. "Mary, it seems we will have a very good neighbor."
