Semua Bab The Strange Call Across Time and Space: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Year 2002, Tina's POV.I was so scared that I froze on the spot. Mom came toward me carrying the raw beef. With a weird smile on her face, she asked, "Tina, are you hungry too? Come and eat some.""No, I... I won't eat!" I was at a loss and burst into tears. Mom was still walking toward me, carrying the raw beef. Finally, I came to my senses and wanted to go back into the house. However, my legs were so weak that I could not walk at all. In the end, I crawled into Grandpa's room.Grandpa's room was quite close to me, and his landline was also there. I latched the door lock and picked up the phone, ready to call Dad to ask when he would be back. Only Dad had a mobile phone in the family. I did not remember the phone numbers of anyone else besides his.Mom tried to push the door open and said in the gentle tone she had used earlier, "Tina, hurry outside to eat."If I had not seen her kill the cow, I would really have thought she was normal.Dad finally picked up the call. I quickly

Year 2022, writer's POV.I had been raising this dog for the last two years but had never heard it bark so fiercely.Thinking that a thief had broken into the house, I stormed out to check. However, all I saw was the dog barking wildly at the locked door of the east room when I pushed open the door.I slept in the west room. The east room was big, and I planned to use it as the place for my creations.If the dog barked at the door of the east room, then the thief had to be inside.I was not scared either. After all, I was tall and strong. I was not afraid of any thief! I pushed the door open and was about to curse when I found that there was no one in the room at all!Moreover, there was no furniture in the room, so there was no place for thieves to hide. Why did the dog bark at the room, then?I was puzzled but did not think much of it. I just assumed that the dog had not adapted to the new environment and squatted down to touch its head. Sure enough, it quieted down.I felt a

Year 2002, Tina's POV.Only after getting Uncle Hector's guarantee did I jump off the bed and slowly open the door. Mom and Uncle Hector were both at the door.Uncle Hector saw me, patted my head, and laughed out loud. He said, "Aren't you usually quite bold? How come you're so scared this time?"Mom explained from the side, "It's my fault. I scared her."Uncle Hector nodded and said to Mom, "Okay. Then I'll leave first."He planned to leave with no intention of taking me along. I quickly grabbed his arm and asked him to take me along.Mom grabbed me right up to her and said sternly, "Stop bothering Uncle Hector! You already asked him to come over this late at night. And you still want to go to his house to bother him!”Uncle Hector looked back at me and said, "Tina, your mother has really recovered. Don't you believe me?"I was furious. Adults loved to lie to children! He said he would take me away, but it turned out he was just trying to trick me into opening the door!I yel

Year 2022, writer's POV.I sighed in relief at the sound of Tina’s voice. If she could pick up the call, it meant she was safe for now.I checked the time and warned, "It's 9:20 pm now, right? Your mom will kill you in the east room around 10:00 pm. Run!""Impossible! Mom has recovered. Who are you?" Tina retorted firmly.She still refused to believe me! I pondered for a moment and decided to trick her. I responded, "I'm a god. I know everything. Your name is Tina Lester, your mother's name is Chelsea Wilson, and your father's name is Jacob Lester. Do you believe me now?""You're a god?" She was still skeptical.I did not expect the little Tina to be so difficult to deceive.I panicked and did not bother about pretending to be a god to deceive her. I just said, "This is about your life. Even if you don't believe me, you still have to think about your life. Run away and hide. Your father will be back at 1:00 am. You can go home then!"I realized I was indeed too anxious when I f

Year 2002, Tina's POV.I heard their conversation from inside the room, finally feeling relieved and letting out a sigh of relief.Mom left.Uncle Hector came inside again and asked me, "Your mom seems perfectly normal. Why won't you go back?"I told him about the young man who had called me.Uncle Hector got angry as soon as he heard this. He thought I was lying. In Uncle Hector's eyes, I had always been honest; it was why he liked me.I heard from my father that Uncle Hector hated most when others lied to him. Uncle Hector originally had a wife and children, but his wife deceived him and eventually ran away with their children. It was the reason why he hated it when others lied.I hurriedly explained, but Uncle Hector just would not believe me. I even said I would be a dog if I lied, but Uncle Hector was still furious. He went to sleep outside by himself and ignored me.Besides Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Uncle Liam, the one who treated me the best was Uncle Hector, but now, he ha
