The ghost of the elder father Tony whispered something into little Morgan's ear.
Tony sat next to Lin Feng, fidgeting and scratching his ear, eager to hear if the zombie universe's Tony was badmouthing him to little Morgan.
Otherwise, why would they keep glancing his way after talking for a bit?
For a moment, he was as restless as a monkey.
"Why are you acting like a sour chicken? What's all the fuss about?" Lin Feng teased, rocking his chair with a smile.
Tony glared at Lin Feng, his thoughts exposed.
What kind of talk was that? Sour chicken?
However, his body betrayed him; at least he stopped jumping around, but his expression... it was unbearable to look at.
Tony (soul) was explaining future matters to little Morgan.
It wasn't that Lin Feng wanted to eavesdrop. He hadn't amplified his hearing, but even so, his hearing was far superior to that of an ordinary person.
This embrace lasted twenty minutes.
If it weren't for the fact that the body Lin Feng had casually created for Tony (soul) was nearing its time limit, he wouldn't have been willing to let go of little Morgan.
Just then, the two Peppers also emerged.
The not-so-large room was once again filled with people.
Aura was a strange thing.
When everyone stood up, even little Morgan sensed something was amiss.
The room was filled with an atmosphere of farewell.
"Time is running out..." Lin Feng reminded them.
The body's time was running out, but their souls could linger for a longer period.
However, Lin Feng didn't intend to let them stay much longer; doing so would only bring more instability to the zombie universe.
"Mmm..." Tony (soul) responded with a deep hum.
He and Pepper (soul) simultaneously crouched down, their gazes fixed on little Morgan with unprecedented tenderness.
Little Morgan, somewhat bewildered, wiped away her tears.
"You're leaving, aren't you..."
Reunions were always brief, and adults felt sad, let alone children.
"Morgan, don't cry!" Pepper (soul) gently stroked little Morgan's head with a smile.
"Promise Mommy you'll be strong!"
"Okay!" Little Morgan choked back her tears.
"I won't cry, Morgan won't cry!"
Tony (soul) also crouched down and took little Morgan's hand.
"Remember what Daddy said, and this is for you!"
As Tony (soul) spoke, he took out a delicate bracelet and slipped it onto Morgan's wrist.
The bracelet, infused with Tony (soul)'s nanotechnology, quickly shrunk to fit Morgan's wrist.
Inside, it contained messages from him and Pepper for little Morgan. Every year on her birthday, from now until she was twenty, Tony (soul)'s pre-recorded videos would play.
A year ago, Tony (soul) had wanted to entrust Lin Feng with delivering this to little Morgan.
But giving this to little Morgan would undoubtedly make her realize that the Daddy and Mommy from another universe were not them.
However, now that little Morgan already knew, there was no longer this concern.
Little Morgan nodded vigorously.
Just then, little Morgan's hand suddenly passed through Tony (soul)'s arm.
Tony (soul) startled, then smiled with understanding.
Time was up; they had returned to being pure souls.
Moreover, their souls had become increasingly transparent, indicating they would soon disappear.
"Go, Morgan, go and live a healthy and happy life with the Daddy and Mommy from the other world!"
"Morgan, you are lucky. Whether it's this world or the other, Daddy and Mommy will always be your Daddy and Mommy."
"Don't worry, our love for you is the same! Go, Morgan!"
Tony (soul) and Pepper (soul) spoke their farewells, while little Morgan tried hard to control her tears.
"Go, Morgan, the Daddy and Mommy from the other world are waiting for you..."
Pepper (soul) gently touched little Morgan's head one last time, but her hand passed through.
Following the direction of her finger, little Morgan saw another pair of Daddy and Mommy.
Daddy and Mommy were smiling at her. Little Morgan couldn't understand their smiles, but they felt very warm.
Lin Feng, standing nearby, saw it clearly. Their smiles were filled with comfort, encouragement, and a complex love.
Little Morgan subconsciously walked towards Daddy and Mommy.
Halfway there, little Morgan looked back at the Daddy and Mommy from this world.
Their figures had become even more transparent, but their smiles were still very warm.
They smiled and nodded at little Morgan. No longer hesitating, she rushed into Tony and Pepper's embrace.
At the same time, Tony (soul) and Pepper (soul) had used up their last moments and vanished from the safe house.
Without Lin Feng's energy supply, they returned to their original red space.
"Will I be able to see them again?" little Morgan asked hesitantly, testing Tony's ear.
Tony immediately cast a questioning glance at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng walked over, "Yes, I promise, you will see them again..."
"But remember what they expect of you; grow up healthy and strong."
"From now on, if anything happens, tell Daddy or Mommy!"
As he spoke, he reached out and ruffled little Morgan's hair.
Little Morgan looked up from Tony's embrace, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Feng.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Feng..."
Little Morgan understood that seeing that Daddy and Mommy today was all thanks to Brother Lin Feng, who possessed such miraculous abilities.
"I'm sorry, Daddy, Mommy."
"I just didn't want you to worry..." little Morgan apologized to Tony and Pepper again.
"Oh, you don't need to apologize anymore. Daddy and Mommy aren't mad at you." Pepper took little Morgan from Tony's arms.
Little Morgan had already apologized before coming. She had done so because she was worried about them and didn't want to trouble them. Tony and Pepper had never blamed little Morgan from beginning to end.
Little Morgan buried her head in Pepper's shoulder again.
"Mommy, can we go home now? I want to sleep..."
This time, it was Pepper who cast a questioning glance at Lin Feng.
They had been in this world for nearly a day. Little Morgan's emotions had been volatile today, so it was normal for her to feel tired.
"Alright, alright!" Lin Feng shrugged.
It was indeed quite late; it was time to go home.
With a wave of his hand, circles of blue light enveloped Tony and the two of them. With the blue light, their figures vanished from this universe.
After meeting the Tony and Pepper from the zombie universe, the last connection little Morgan had with this universe was finally severed.
As time passed, little Morgan would gradually forget this universe and live happily, just as the two Tonys had wished.
However, Lin Feng hadn't lied to little Morgan. There would be opportunities in the future for her to see the Daddy and Mommy from the zombie universe again.
Hmm, Lin Feng thought, perhaps during her coming-of-age ceremony? Or at her graduation? Both would surely be very meaningful.
Lin Feng sent the three of them back first, while he remained in this universe.
Poor little Spider-Man, as Tony's beloved "son," neither of the two Tonys had bid him farewell. This "important task" fell upon Lin Feng's shoulders.
