Chapter 974: Not the Father
Hearing Fiona's question, Agu's eyes widened slightly.
Could it be that Fiona already knew who he was? But Fiona's behavior was completely different from what Agu expected.
He also thought that Fiona might feel conflicted and entangled after learning that he had raised her for fifteen years, but it shouldn't be such simple hatred.
Did Fiona really think that he had killed her biological father in order to obtain a new identity?
Agu originally wanted to avoid Fiona, but now that he had decided to face it, he didn't want the child he saw as his daughter to think of him like that.
"I didn't kill your father. He was already dead when I saw him."
"Really?" Fiona's expression didn't change, and she didn't seem to believe Agu.
But there's really no good way to prove this.
Except for Agu himself, no one knows what happened.
And something that happened so long ago cannot be accurately reproduced even with witchcraft.
This is probably why Fiona chose to ask him directly today.
"You can perform a true identification on me." Agu took the initiative to prove himself.
Truthfulness identification is a high-level witchcraft that can detect whether a person is lying.
However, this witchcraft requires the cooperation of the person being identified and he or she must be emotionally stable, otherwise the accuracy rate will not be high.
Fiona was a little surprised by Agu's proposal, but she was not polite, "Excuse me, please follow me in."
Fiona turned around again, facing the white door of the warehouse and silently chanted a spell.
Then the door slowly opened.
"This is the deepest part of the base, but there are not many materials stored here. It is a very suitable place for testing and killing. If you have a clear conscience, then follow me in. But if you are really the one who killed my father, you can still choose to leave now. For the sake of Wizard Thor, I will kill you later."
After saying that, Fiona walked into the warehouse without waiting for Agu outside.
Agu didn't hesitate at all and walked straight into the warehouse.
However, as soon as he entered the warehouse, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut.
Only then did Agu see that this warehouse, which was not small in size but very empty inside, had many witchcraft arrays drawn on its walls.
After the door closed, these witchcraft arrays began to operate one by one as if they were electrified.
Agu turned around and was about to run, but he found that the most common magic array in the entire room was the confinement array.
It was too easy to imprison him, a wizard who could barely reach the second level.
Agu was unable to rush out of the door. He sensed Thor first and found that he could still contact the diary, so he calmed down a little.
"Are these the tests you want to run? To see if I'll try to run away if I sense danger?"
Agu originally wanted to question Fiona, but when he looked up, he saw the woman opposite him smiling coldly.
"Don't think too much. I never thought of testing whether you are lying." Fiona raised her hand, and a dark arc of light appeared in her palm. "I just need to peel off your consciousness bit by bit, and then sort it out into information, and I will know the whereabouts of the other faceless men."
“You…are still looking for the Faceless Man…” Agu felt his heart slowly sink to the bottom of the valley, “So you don’t care about the cause of your father’s death.”
The smile on Fiona's face disappeared.
"Because I don't need to worry about that. I already know clearly that my father was killed by the faceless man. I don't care who the murderer is. As long as I kill all the faceless men, I can naturally avenge my father!"
Just as Fiona was about to press the dark arc of light in her hand into a witchcraft circle on the ground, Agu hurriedly stopped her.
"Fiona, Nana! I really didn't kill your father!"
A sudden "Nana" stopped Fiona's movements, and she raised her head in shock and anger.
"Who told you to call me Nana? Do you think that imitating my father's existence will make me let you go?" After saying that, Fiona pressed down the dark light arc in her hand at a faster speed.
The light in the whole room suddenly dimmed, and the world seemed to have turned into a dark yellow, just like the depressing sky before a rainstorm.
Agu only felt a string of fire suddenly rising under his feet, and before he could react, he was suddenly ejected from the body container he was in.
As Agu's soul body was exposed, the surrounding witchcraft arrays shot out dark arcs from their centers. These arcs crisscrossed in the air.
Agu had no time to say anything else and could only start dodging immediately.
But the entire room, except for where Fiona was, was filled with dark arcs.
Agu immediately reappeared Fiona, but his speed was not enough, and he was still trapped in a small space separated by multiple arcs two meters away from the latter.
He was careful not to touch the arcs, and turned to Fiona.
Fiona showed absolute hostility towards him. Could this hostility be the attitude of the Stargate Council towards Thor?
If there was someone else in front of Agu at this time, he would have chosen to leave without hesitation, returned to the diary, and told Thor about the conspiracy of the Star Gate.
But the person in front of him was Fiona, the daughter he had raised for ten years, the daughter he had kept deep in his heart even after his death and had never mentioned to anyone.
Even if Fiona is sure that he is the murderer of her father, Agu does not want Fiona to become cannon fodder and pawn in the confrontation between Thor and Stargate.
After all, Thor has no feelings for Fiona.
We must think of another way! Agu suddenly approached the arc and looked at Fiona outside as if he were in a prison, "Nana, I think you are mistaken. I am the only one who calls you Nana, and your real father has always called you Fionne."
Fiona was stunned, and the circulation of magic power in her hands slowed down.
"What Finny? I don't have that name." She said hatefully, not knowing what Agu was talking about.
Seeing Fiona's confused look, Agu felt relieved.
"I understand. I understand." A smile appeared on his face, and it was a feeling of great relief that made him want to cry and laugh at the same time.
"Nana, your real father died unexpectedly when you were five years old. And I, I was actually, actually, your father until you were fifteen years old."
Agu finally spoke out.
He didn't dare to say it because he didn't know how Fiona would view him when she found out that he was just a faceless man who replaced her original father.
He didn't dare to imagine whether his daughter would deny her life experiences in those ten years? Would she hate him and think that he had ruined her life? But now that he had said it, Agu felt relieved.
Now he has said everything and all he has to do is wait for the trial.
Agu didn't explain much, but Fiona vaguely understood it.
She finally understood why her memories were always contradictory. Sometimes she felt her father should be like this, and sometimes she felt her father should be like that.
It turns out... she really has two fathers! And the father she thought was killed by the Faceless Man, her beloved father, turned out to be a real Faceless Man! The beautiful childhood that accompanied her throughout her life was not left to her by her father!
