The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Just as Sean was about to open the glass door of the "Mist and Roses" hotel, a thin figure pushed open the door from inside, his dark skin smiled and said, "Welcome, sir!"

"Do you have a reservation?" The South Del Continent boy in the red doorman suit enthusiastically took the travel bag in Sean's hand and welcomed him into the lobby.

Sean patted the raindrops on his body: "Yes."

The doorman boy with "Lyon" written on the nameplate on his chest sent Sean to the front desk: "Sir, wait here first, I'll take you to your room after checking in!"

After Shaun thanked Leon, he found that an old couple was checking in in front of him, so he looked around.

The lobby of the hotel is not large, but the decoration is extraordinarily elegant. The dark red carpet, the burning fireplace, the temperate warm lighting, and the well-toned landscape paintings on the walls create a sense of tranquility and comfort.

Sean suddenly noticed that the old couple in front raised their voices. They were talking aloud in Gaul, obviously losing their patience.

There were two women standing inside the front desk. The lady in charge of the front desk was wearing a red suit; the other was wearing a black dress and a string of pearl necklaces. She had pretty eyebrows and seemed not to be a staff member.

The two of them are helpless now. It is obvious that they do not understand Gaul and cannot communicate with the old couple.

Sean just wanted to check in as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to walk forward and politely asked the old couple in Gaul.

Seeing that someone could understand their words, their attitude softened and they expressed their strength.

The two ladies at the front desk looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Sean, who communicated with the old couple in Gaul, with bright eyes, with admiration and gratitude in their eyes.

Soon, Sean figured out what was going on, so he turned to the lady at the front desk and said, "The room they booked by letter is for next week, but they came early, so they want to check in early."

The lady at the front desk who had been unable to find the old couple's name finally understood, flipped through the reservation booklet, found the old couple's name, and started to check in.

During this time, the woman in the black dress walked out of the front desk with a bright smile on her face: "Men who speak Gaul are very attractive—have you been there?"

Sean shook the woman's outstretched hand, slender and cold: "As a foreign correspondent, I spent two years in Gaul. The food there is delicious."

A light flashed in the woman's green eyes: "You are a reporter?" Sean knew that in Newlander, the status of reporters gradually increased with the development of the media industry, and was more respected than in Continental.

Sean smiled: "Forget it, it's just a tabloid reporter. My name is Sean, what's your name?"

"My name is Daisy, and I am the owner of this hotel. In order to express our gratitude, we will give you a free room upgrade, I hope you will like it! In addition, if you have any needs here, just tell the service staff directly - you are my honored guest."

Xiao En raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect that he was just doing a favor at will, and he could not help but sighed that he was lucky.

After checking in, Daisy personally instructed little Lyon to take Sean upstairs.

After receiving the boss's instructions, little Leon laughed with two more white teeth.

Sean's room was upgraded to a higher floor. When he entered the room, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This VIP room on the twentieth floor actually has a large floor-to-ceiling window. From the window, you can see the dimly lit New York City scene nearby, as well as the dock area and the bay in the distance.

"The view is good."

After taking the tip, little Leon quietly exited the room.

Feeling a little tired, Sean let out a long sigh, sorted out his messy thoughts, took a hot bath, changed into pajamas, and sat at the desk.

He wants to plan tomorrow's trip.

The first stop was without a doubt the precepts in New Testament City. As a constitutional country, the Precepts Institute is an institution responsible for social order, and Sean wants to report Aaliyah's disappearance.

Second stop... Sean took out Aaliyah's previous letter with the "Newlander Poetry Society" and looked at the address of the other party's letter.

"95 Sequoia Street..."

On the second stop, Sean intends to go directly to this address of the Poetry Association. It's likely that the Society's receptionist has seen Arya, and his own investigation can begin there.

"I hope there won't be any danger." After a spiritual journey, Sean can't completely trust anyone now. Even the attractive lady Daisy, although the other party took the initiative to show her kindness, she was still defensive.

There is no way, the disappearance of Aaliyah and the frame-up that she encountered, the whole thing is really foggy, so I can only try my best to be careful.

Sean felt a little tired, so he lay on the bed and turned off the light.

In the darkness, he couldn't help but turn his attention to the faintly glowing symbol in his consciousness.

This experience is very magical. If it weren't for the existence of this symbol, Sean would never have found such a space in his consciousness.

When he concentrated on observing, he seemed to be close to the symbol and could observe it more clearly.

It is indeed very much like an abstract candlestick, or a simplified totem, exuding a faint blue light.

Sean was fascinated, his attention seemed to be thrown into it...

Then, he was surprised to find that part of his senses pervaded the outside of the body, as if floating above the body~www.NovelMTL.com~ It felt like a part of the soul was out of the body, just above the body. floating.

Sean quickly retracted his attention, pulled away from the symbol, and his soul came back properly in an instant.

"What's going on?!" Sean's surprise was no less than the first time he saw the true face of "Spiritual Realm".

Although I don't know what happened, Sean knew that the operation just now didn't seem to cause any harm to him.

With a bit of caution, Sean once again poured his attention into the symbols.

Once again, he felt that part of his soul seemed to diffuse out of his body, like a cloud with no fixed shape...

He was still able to control his body, so he tried to open his eyes and saw a mass of sparkling, pale blue void-like matter floating in front of him.

"This is my soul?" Sean looked at the "blue cloud" floating in front of him in surprise, "Shouldn't the soul be in a fixed shape? Shouldn't it just stay in the body? How can my soul show Such a trait?"

He tried to control it with his mind, and the blue cloud really fluttered and changed shape according to his mind.

"Is this symbol a tool? Can it achieve various functions of the soul?" while thinking about it, Sean extended one of the tentacles of the blue cloud to the ceiling, penetrating the roof without any obstacles...

He can't "see" the scene upstairs through the tentacles of his soul, but after passing through the ceiling for a moment, he can clearly hear the people upstairs, walking to the bathroom in slippers, turning on the tap, like close to my ear!

Sean knows that others cannot see his soul. The tentacles of the soul passing through the wall became his hidden ears.
