The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Long Island is an area northeast of New York City, divided into east and west banks. The west bank is still a civilian area, and the east bank is built with rows of single-family villas, which is one of the wealthy areas of New York City.

At this time, Miss Daisy's driver, Cage, steadily drove a blue and white limousine into the spacious street on the east coast of Long Island decorated with fallen sycamore trees.

Rows of single-family villas with their own beauty sped past the window, and Sean couldn't help looking sideways.

"Isn't it nice here?" Daisy turned her head. Today, she was wearing a black dress that showed her figure and a small coat with a white fur collar. The white fluff complimented the delicate face.

Looking at the clean and refreshing weather outside the window, the sparkling bay, and the well-manicured garden... "It's really a good place." Sean remembered his hometown of Green, even the wealthy area, can't compare with the scenery on the east coast of Long Island.

The car went around a curved road, and a luxurious mansion could already be seen. Daisy said, "That's Bill's house."

Looking at the luxurious building modeled after the Central District Municipal Building, Sean couldn't help but ask, "What does Bill do?"

Daisy smiled: "He has a lot of pharmacies."

"Drugstore, does it make money like that?"

"I don't know if other people's pharmacies make money or not. Anyway, his pharmacy makes money." Daisy's face had a mysterious smile on her face.

Listening to Daisy's riddle, Sean shrugged and lost interest in asking: Nine times out of ten, it was some illegal business.

A servant with shiny hair ran to the iron gate outside the mansion, opened the gate neatly, and let the car drive into the courtyard.

Some of the servants were carrying tables and chairs, while others were carrying roast turkey, lemon cakes and other food, and were setting up the banquet on the lawn.

On another cart that had just arrived, a group of band members in dark red suits were unloading their instruments—not a small five-piece band, but a regular band with various instruments.

"There's a banquet here today?" Sean asked Daisy when he got out of the car, "What to celebrate?"

"Celebrate 'alive'." A cheerful male voice sounded, and Sean followed the voice to see a man in a camel wool sweater, his hair meticulously combed back, and a confident smile on his face walked out of the mansion.

Bill first kissed Daisy's hand, and then faced Sean very solemnly: "This is the warrior who is looking for his sister."

Sean felt Bill's confidence and sincerity from the handshake: "Mr. Bill."

"Just call me Bill." He enthusiastically led the two of them into the mansion, "I got a good batch of Tangguo black tea, let's drink and chat."

When he entered the mansion, Sean saw that in the shadow not far behind Bill, stood a man wearing an owl mask and a black coat.

"Explorer's bodyguard?" Sean secretly said.

The owl's eyes seemed to be able to see through him, which made Sean a little uncomfortable.

Sean carefully identified it. The material of the owl mask should be rhino leather, with dark brown feathers arranged radially, and two long falcon feathers swept back from the temples...

"Looking at the material and style of the mask, this is a Queen-level (Queen-level) explorer whose function is to hypnotize. It is a type with stronger assistance than conflict... It is very suitable as a bodyguard in daily life." Sean walked As he pondered, "Hiring a Queen class costs about 30 New Zealand dollars a day; holding a banquet outside the door will cost thousands of dollars at a time..."

Thinking about it again, I was still worrying about the cost of food and lodging... Sean couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Sean suddenly found a problem: in the "Explorer's Handbook", the distinction between masks is very complicated, and many explorers who have just entered the industry may not remember it completely.

"I just read the "Explorer's Handbook" thoroughly, how can I identify the information of that owl mask so accurately?"

"I didn't recite it on purpose?" Sean felt a little surprised, and tried to recall what he had read before...

In Sean's mind, the books he had read before seemed to be spread out in front of his eyes, and the pages were basically clear - Sean found that he had memorized 70% to 80%!

"After reading it through, you almost memorized most of it?!" When he was studying in the academy, he didn't realize that he had such a memory...

Sean was a little shocked: Could it be the function of that symbol again? !

In consciousness, the symbol just glowed quietly without any response.

"If my memory is really that strong..." Sean couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Then if I pass the test within two months, there is hope!"

At this point, Bill had led the two to his study. Regarding his memory improvement, Sean decided to go back and dig deeper, focusing on the conversation with Bill for now.

The three sat down, and Mr. Owl stood by the window.

The thick black tea was poured into a porcelain cup, and Sean, who was eager to ask, had already handed the photo to Bill opposite: "Mr. Bill, this is a photo taken at a banquet held at your house a while ago.

"The girl in the photo is my sister, do you have any impression of her?"

Bill took the photo and looked at it carefully, UU reading www.uukanshu.com frowned, a confused mist rose in his eyes.

He blinked, flipping through the photos with Arya in them one by one, the confusion on his face became more and more obvious.

After a long while, he raised his eyes and said something, which surprised both Sean and Daisy.

Bill asked with a bewildered face, "What kind of girl is there in this photo?"

While talking, he handed back the photo: "Did you take the wrong photo?"

Sean hurriedly took the photo, and Daisy also brought her head close.

As the photos were flipped, the expressions on the faces of the two became more and more surprised.

Photos, definitely still those photos, the scenery and the surrounding things are the same.

However, Aaliyah in all the photos has disappeared!

The place where Arya stood before is now empty, with only the scene behind her.

As if she never existed.

How could the person in the photo disappear?

Being too shocked, Sean and Daisy looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion and fear of the unknown in each other's eyes.

Daisy said in a dry voice: "Bill, these are the photos... This is so strange! We saw that his sister was in the photos before, but now it's gone!

"This is so weird!" Daisy took the photo in Sean's hand and flipped it over and over again, feeling as if she was having an absurd dream.

Bill frowned, resting his chin in one hand. He and Daisy have known each other for a long time. Knowing that the other party will not make such a joke, he is also very confused: "The person in the photo disappears... How can such a thing happen?"

By the window, Mr. Owl said in a hoarse voice, "This reminds me of some past events."
