The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Chapter 12: "stethoscope"

After a long reading time and his eyes were sore again, Sean leaned back: "Two months, how can I remember everything..."

He chose to read through all the books first, and is only now finishing the second one.

The more I read, the more I feel that memorizing it all within two months is as hard as the sky!

It's not because Sean is lazy, it's just too much content!

He began to think about the future plan: "Whether I can meet the standards for taking the test, it is useful for me to supplement this knowledge now, so the time spent is worth it.

"I now have to consider a situation where the search for Aaliyah might turn into a long-term affair.

"Then I can't continue to investigate as a traveler.

"First of all, my funds are limited, so I have to plan carefully."

"Then, I must plan to stay in Newland for a long time."

While thinking about this, Sean put all the money on the table and counted it, a total of 155 New Zealand dollars and 82 cents.

Sean's original job as a reporter didn't make much money, so this was all his remaining funds.

In New York City, daily lodging and meals are not a small expense. Before coming, Sean also considered booking a motel in the suburbs for less than $1 a day.

However, considering the commute from the suburbs to the city, not only the time, but also the transportation expenses, after weighing it, the "Fog and Rose" hotel with good cost performance will be chosen.

Sean's current room rate is NZ$3 a day; the daily meal fee fluctuates around 60 cents. If there are other expenses for the follow-up investigation, Sean will soon run out of money.

Fortunately, these expensive explorer books were lent to him by Catherine. And she also promised that the teaching fee will be paid with the exploration dividend after passing the assessment. Otherwise, the current Sean may not be able to afford the cost of becoming an explorer.

"Although Miss Catherine looks a little cold, she is really a good person..." Sean couldn't help but think of Catherine's cold eyes, and touched the holy dagger on the table.

"Becoming an explorer doesn't seem to be something that can be done right now. If you don't think about other ways to make money, let alone track down Aaliyah's whereabouts, life will be a problem." Sean sighed, Carefully retracting the bills and coins into the wallet, "I have to find something to do to make money. Also, consider renting a house - it will cost a lot less."

Sean flipped through today's newspaper, wanting to see what work he could do.

"Nicholas Electrical Laboratory is recruiting assistants and requires a background in science and engineering in the college..."

"The Federal Terminal Company has been recruiting transport drivers and warehouse managers for a long time, with union protection..."

"The Winston Restaurant is hiring waiters..."

Sean looked more and more distressed: "I have to arrange time to prepare for the examination of the explorer, and I have to do my best to track down Aaliyah's whereabouts. If these jobs are not in line with my educational background, or there are almost no days off!"

After reading the recruitment page from beginning to end, he could not find a suitable job. Sean, who was distressed, suddenly saw a line of small words in the bottom column of the newspaper:

"New Testament Daily News has been receiving news and in-depth reports for a long time, and the rewards are generous. If you are interested, please contact..."

Writing press releases to make money? Sean's eyes lit up. This is my own line of work, and it is definitely no problem to do it.

"But... it takes a lot of time to mine news, conduct interviews, organize manuscripts, etc.!

"Although this work is the most suitable for me, time is still the biggest issue!"

When Sean was thinking about how to resolve this contradiction, the knock on the door rang again.

Opening the door, Miss Daisy, who was outside the door, asked charmingly, "Can I go in?"

"Of course." Sean stepped aside.

"Oh? Are you reading?" Daisy looked at the books spread out on the table.

"Yes. There are too many things to learn, not enough time..." Daisy came to the room alone at night, and Sean was still a little nervous.

By reading "The Book of Souls", Sean now knows that it is inaccurate to call the things he diffuses "souls". "Soul" is a unified whole. What Sean diffuses is only the extension of the soul, not the core of the soul. It should be called "Essence".

Since this is a relatively rare concept and a rare application to the soul, it is only mentioned slightly in the second half of the Book of Souls.

Sean can now be sure that the spiritual essence he extends out cannot be seen without special means. So, he stretched out the psychic substance unconsciously, and put the tentacles that could not penetrate the soul on Daisy's chest - this is the usage he discovered in the previous practice, he can use it more clearly than using a stethoscope Hear the sounds inside people.

Boom, boom, boom...

"The heartbeat is even and the breathing is steady." Sean felt a little relieved, "Daisy is not guilty now."

For the sake of safety, he still stretched out his tentacles and checked if there was anyone near the corridor. The hallway is also empty.

"When he was hiding something, I caught him on the spot." Daisy walked to the window and lit a cigarette, a little red cigarette **** flickered in the dark background, "The **** partnered with the Celtic guy who delivered the beef, thinking Hiding a batch of black market gods in my freezer."

"Which... er, bastard?"

"The cook I hired—he said he hated his fellow countryman, but he's actually been working for the Celtic gang."

Sean asked calmly, "Have you called the police?"

Daisy laughed lightly~www.NovelMTL.com~ As if Sean said something very childish: "Sean, you are so cute."

Daisy doesn't seem to intend to hide her true colors. Maybe that's a good thing, given her enthusiasm.

"But I also found a pure soul." Daisy's brows stretched, "a reliable person. Although he is still a child."

Sean nodded in relief: Little Leon's confession really had a good effect.

"It's great that this matter didn't affect you." Sean said sincerely, looking directly into Daisy's green eyes, "You are a good person, I hope you are all well."

dong dong dong dong...

Ok? Her heart beat faster? what happened?

Daisy's cheeks flashed a hint of crimson, and she looked away: "Sean, I want to thank you very well. If it wasn't for you, I would be in big trouble this time.

"As for Arya, I will definitely try my best to help you."

After speaking, Daisy left in a hurry. She went a little abruptly, which confused Sean a little.

After being bored in the room for a day, Sean wanted to go out to get some air, and stopped by the front desk to go through the procedures for renewing his stay.

The lady at the front desk smiled and said, "Mr. Sean, your room fee has already been paid for next month."

Sean was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Daisy gave him the continuation.

Sean's heart moved slightly. Although he didn't care about it, it did save him a lot of money when he was a little tight on money - if he was to stay in the hotel for half a month, it would save nearly $50!

"However, if searching for Aaliyah becomes a long-term affair, living here is also inconvenient.

"I still have to think about ways to make money, as well as renting a house.

"Although the goal has not changed, there is no need to worry too much about money now.
