The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Sean continued to tell the story, when he was caught by the sublimated Aegwynn...

"...I was controlled by his power. Before he caught me in the air, Moonlight tried to save me. He pretended to play the piano, and then let the guinea pig that was with him get into my clothes.

"When Aegwynn hypnotized me and was about to take my soul, the guinea pig bit me, and I woke up with pain." Sean was actually very clear about that memory, but he pretended to have difficulty recalling it, frowning, struggling Said, "Then I felt Aegwynn's spiritual essence merged into my spiritual essence, as if intending to absorb my soul..."

Richard raised his palm at this moment: "Please stop." Although he was wearing a mask, his voice was very clear, "That is to say, you are out of the angel's hypnosis?"

Sean nodded, "Yes."

Richard let out a grunt, as if he was talking to himself: "This is rare... But there is a record in your file that your recommender said that your soul is extraordinarily strong... Maybe that's the reason.

"I have to say, you are a very talented explorer. Please continue."

Sean continued: "When he tried to absorb my soul again, I used some special means to interrupt Aegwynn's attempt."

Richard looked at Sean in awe: "What special means?"

Sean just took a sip of water and didn't answer.

Richard raised his hands and said, "Mr. Sean, I know that you, as an explorer, want to keep your 'hole card' a secret.

"However, for the accuracy of the investigation report, I must know your special methods. Of course, the association will definitely keep this secret. Only the senior members of the association have the right to view your files, and it will not affect your exploration career."

It seems that after some ideological struggle, Sean finished drinking the water in the glass nervously, and said with difficulty: "Well, **** it, it won't be a secret in the future anyway...

"After I studied through the "Book of Souls", I found that I could directly use the power of the esoteric—" These are the information that the association will definitely know, "Not only that, I have three esoteric abilities, one can The use of spiritual substances for puncture damage, one can heal wounds, and another can directly affect the emotions of the conscious body..."

Richard stopped his pen in surprise: "This is a rare talent -- a very, very rare talent. Mr. Sean.

"If I wasn't sure before, now I can make a bold prediction: you have the potential to become a King-level explorer in the future!"

Sean raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? Although I have these abilities, I don't know much about the situation in the industry."

Richard smiled: "Let me tell you this - you can use the esoteric, and the esoteric can switch to three properties, which many explorers who have undergone many years of meditation training can't do it.

"However, the explorer industry has gathered a lot of talented people, and such talent is not unique. For example, your teammate, Mr. 1902, he is also a genius.

"Perhaps it is because of outstanding young people like you that the damage of this incident has been minimized."

Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He chose to hide some secrets to make the other party curious, and when the other party's attention was on the secret, Sean told part of the truth to offset all the other party's doubts.

Obviously, his plan was successful. Although his psychic ability has been explained, the secret of "Sacred Root" is preserved.

The mission report ended smoothly. Because the low-level explorers once fell into a state of madness and even tended to commit suicide after high-intensity missions, the team members were temporarily left in the explorer center as usual.

There are special hotel rooms in the building, and the accommodation conditions are quite good, so Sean stayed there as soon as possible.

Sean and Moonlight's investigation went relatively smoothly, and they came out very early. After they each found their own room, they stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window outside the guest room.

Outside the window, you can see the dimly lit, criss-crossing streets.

Central Avenue is like a "light tree" composed of street lamps and car lights. All streets, including Wall Street and Silent Street, are shining branches of this big tree.

The Explorers Center is located in the skyscraper cluster of Wall Street, surrounded by giant buildings such as the Rockfield Building and the Divine State Building illuminated by searchlights.

Before these skyscrapers were like giant pillars supporting the sky and the earth, now... "I'm standing in one of the giant pillars." Sean thought so.

"This kind of scenery is rare..." The city lights were reflected in his eyes, the cigarettes were on and off, and the moonlight exhaled a puff of smoke.

Sean knew that the moonlight meant that it was hard to see this kind of metropolis at night on a boat. But he also resonated very much - he was sure that there was no place in Leon that could have the same view.

The two of them had just gone through a difficult task. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, but neither of them had changed their clothes and showered. At this moment when they should be well-dressed, their clothes were tattered, stained with blood, and their faces were covered with wounds and stains.

Sean took a swig of the whiskey hanging from the ice cubes. He doesn't usually drink much, but today there was a bottle of whisky in the room and a bucket of ice, and he allowed himself to make an exception today: "I almost died today!" he thought as he poured.

Moonlight's mind drifted to somewhere, looking at his reflection in the glass and muttering: "Fuck, I remembered, my shirt is new, and Winnie told me not to wear it for missions. , she will scold me to death when she sees it..."

Winnie is Moonlight's wife. Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and when they saw the other's embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.

All the pressure seemed to be released with this burst of laughter.

"Thank you, buddy." Moonlight said seriously with a smile, holding up a right hand whose fingers were once broken by Aegwyn. The right hand has basically recovered at this point - the joints are still slightly swollen, but they will definitely recover completely after a while.

Sean shrugged: "No, I have to thank you." Sean realized on the way back that if he hadn't met Moonlight before the mission, and if Moonlight hadn't offered to help him on his trainee mission, If Moonlight hadn't participated in this mission... his soul would have been annihilated.

"Where's Jasmine? Did you see her?" Sean asked.

Moonlight took a deep breath and blew it out like a sigh: "She was in the office next to me, and when I came out, I saw a hypnotist from an association giving her hypnotherapy - that should be Make her feel better..."

Not far behind, there was a "ding" sound from the elevator. The two turned their heads and saw the tall woman with glasses and curly hair -- she was called "Ms. Austin" and was the head of the association's risk control department. She accompanied Jasmine to the guest room floor.

Sean and Moonlight greeted them - they didn't go to their respective guest rooms to rest, but they were actually waiting for Jasmine.

Seeing Sean and Moonlight, Austin nodded slightly: "Let's talk." After speaking, she handed the key to Sean and went back to the elevator.

At this time, Jasmine had already taken off her mask, and her face should have been washed clean ~www.NovelMTL.com~ without any blood stains, it could be seen that her face was seven or eight similar to Wilson's. Sean and Moonlight were not wearing masks at this time, but Jasmine could recognize them when they saw their dirty clothes.

"What are you going to do next?" Sean asked.

Jasmine raised her eyes - at this time her eyes were no longer sloppy, she was a little down and quiet: "I plan to quit this industry according to Wilson's wishes and take good care of my mother."

When the two were alone just now, Sean stopped the moonlight and mentioned that Wilson had purchased explorer insurance-although a portion of the commission would be deducted proportionally for each mission, but once he died due to the mission, the family members could get a generous sum of money. compensation.

Life is not a problem for Jasmine and her mother.

Sean: "If you encounter difficulties in life in the future, you can find us both."

Jasmine nodded gratefully, with a tired smile on her face: "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have died in this mission."

After the three chatted for a while, Sean and Yueguang both saw that Jasmine was a little tired, so they each went back to their rooms.

A little later, the service staff on the hotel floor brought dinner, and there was a black envelope with the "Eye of the Secret" logo on the dinner car, and on it was written in golden ink: To Mr. Sean the Explorer.

Seeing the words on the envelope, Sean was excited for a while: "The title is explorer, and the association has recognized my professional identity! Then this letter..."

Regardless of the fact that the steak and mashed potatoes were getting cold, Sean picked up the envelope: "Mr. Sean, it is my honor to inform you that you have passed the quest test, and you are cordially invited to pick up your job at 31F of the Quest Center tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. Certificate, and participate in the mask-granting ceremony - Newlander Quest Examination Committee."
