379 Let's Get out of Here
The girl led Anna through the woods to an isolated cave. Anna followed the girl into the narrow cave and found that it was actually well- furnished.
The furniture there was all exquisite woodwork, with a bed, a table, a chair and a mirror. Anna noticed some wooden ducklings in the bathtub and assumed they were the ones Mike had carved that day.
Mike clearly loved his daughter, but Anna couldn't understand why the girl seemed to despise her father so much.
"My name is Tracy. What's yours?" said the girl. She didn't seem to be scared of Anna.
Anna was relieved that she still had a few more days, and she smiled and said, "I'm Anna. Thank you for saving me."
"You're very welcome. But | can only save you for the time being. After awhile, he'll still kill you. He's just one of Dragon's obedient dogs, and he will do whatever Dragon wants."
"He's your father, isn't he?" Anna froze.
"I wish that he's not," Tracy said, frowning, "He's not worthy of being my father or my mother's husband. He stood by and watched as those bastards abused my mother, but he didn't dare to say anything or do. anything about it!"
Hea that, Anna felt conflicted emotions and
for Tracy.
Then Tracy picked up two toys from the windowsill and said, "The little toys you gave me are awesome. When | opened them, I found these 378 Let's Get out of Here two things. What are these? | followed the instructions and made two monsters."
"They're not monsters; they're Bumblebee and Spider-Man," Anna said with a smile.
"What exactly are they?"
"They are both heroes. And..."
And Tracy listened intently as Anna told the story of the Marvel characters.
"How old were you when you came here?" After finishing telling the stories, Anna asked.
"About four or five. I don't remember," Tracy said blankly, "I'm going to have to leave here eventually anyway! But no one talks to me except for the box."
"Which box?"
Tracy proudly displayed her box to Anna and exclaimed, "I always talk to it when I'm bored. To be honest, I don't understand anything the box says. But I think you'll understand because you're from outside."
Anna smiled as she looked at the old radio. She had an idea and asked, "Where can you hear the box talking?"
Tracy pointed to the sky outside and said, "I can hear it when I climb to the top of West Mountain! Is this because the gods all live in higher places?" She referred to a hill to the northwest as "West Mountain."
"Do you always bring this radio to that mountain?" Anna asked.
Pointing to the box, Tracy said happily, "Oh, this thing is called a radio!"
Anna nodded her head. 378 Let's Get out of Here
Tracy continued, "After | climb to the top of the hill, I will press this button. Then the radio will start playing, But I can only hear it when the Weather is nice, and it won't talk when it rains."
Anna took her phone from her duvet pocket. When she woke up after she was taken to the island, her first thought was to get her phone, and she
was surprised they hadn't taken it away. She later discovered that it was because there was no signal there. And as she learned that there was a signal at the top of the mountain, Anna's eyes glowed.
"Tell me what it's like out there, will you?" Tracy said, waving her hand.
