The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Chapter 70: night visit

If you enter through the main entrance wearing a quest mask, it will definitely attract too much attention, which is something Sean wants to avoid as much as possible.

So the two circled around the wall behind the mansion. Sean first checked the wall to make sure that no one was in the wall for a while, and then took the moonlight to the inside of the mansion's courtyard.

It's night and it's a banquet, and the timing of the visit doesn't seem right. However, the two have discussed this before - as long as they wear the mask of the explorer, it seems that it is not a "good time" to visit anytime, so it is better to be straightforward.

Turned over from the courtyard to the balcony on the first floor at the back of the mansion, the two walked into the light, and when no one was there, they adjusted each other's appearance - when they entered the mansion, they pretended to be the explorers attending the banquet and went upstairs directly. , which was the original plan.

After making sure that there was no problem with the appearance, the two walked to the lobby on the first floor of the mansion while chatting openly and naturally.

Since the orchestra and fireworks were outside, the main venue for the banquet was not in the hall at this time. There were only a few guests going to the bathroom and servants carrying trays.

Under the slightly surprised gaze of a servant holding a cocktail tray, Moonlight turned his head and said to Sean, "Today's roast chicken is a little colder, what do you think?"

Sean shrugged: "Maybe you've said too many courteous things to the ladies, and your tongue is too hot."

Moonlight laughed dryly, and naturally took a martini from the servant's tray: "Thank you."

The natural state of the two mysterious guests made the servant realize that his gaze was a little rude - "There have been explorer guests in the mansion." He nodded humbly as he thought about it, and walked towards the courtyard.

The two went up the stairs in the hall, and Sean's psychic tentacles swept everywhere, looking for Mr. Bill.

Arriving on the second floor, a drunk man came over: "Oh? There's a masquerade tonight?" He stopped Sean and Moonlight too enthusiastically, "I like your masks... "

Moonlight drank the martini in the glass and handed the empty glass to the man: "No, we are explorers, this house is haunted, run away."

The man's eyes bulged, hearing the dangerous melody of the moonlight bouncing in the air, he woke up most of the time, took an empty cup and stomped down the stairs, and ran directly outside the mansion.

Moonlight smiled with satisfaction. Sean's psychic tentacles suddenly had a special feeling in a room on the fourth floor.

He frowned - the spirit substance felt the hidden danger, and it was as uneasy as if it had put its hand into the lion's cage.

He took back the spiritual substance and thought carefully: "Maybe it is the anti-exploration area set up by the explorers around Mr. Bill... In any case, you should go up and have a look."

As soon as the two went up to the fourth floor, they saw a hypnotist wearing an owl mask standing on the stairs: "I don't remember Mr. Bill saying that he invited the explorer guests tonight."

Moonlight was very tolerant, and led Sean, the "little brother" behind him, to the side of the explorer's colleagues: "I don't remember that Mr. Bill's banquet is an invitation-only party - I thought people walking in the dark would also Be equally welcome in this joyous place."

"God favors explorers." Mr. Owl maintained a decent etiquette and was generally friendly, "Why are you here?"

Mr. Bill usually appears in the mansion after the fireworks show, toasting and greeting guests one by one. He was changing his shirt at this time, and when he heard the movement outside the study, he buttoned his cufflinks and stuck his head out: "Keanu, Is this your friend?"

Owl turned around and said, "No. I thought it was your friend."

Moonlight greeted Bill slightly: "Mr. Bill, I'm very sorry to find you so rashly tonight. Actually, I have something to ask you."

Bill was happy to deal with the explorers, and shook his head toward the room: "Come in, gentlemen."

After entering the room, the servant who was waiting for Bill to get dressed went out and closed the door, while Keanu, the explorer's bodyguard, almost stopped Bill and Moonlight.

While tying a bow tie in front of the mirror, Bill said, "A lot of people ask me for help, and I ask a lot of people for help. In this world, people have to help each other, don't they?"

"You are right." After introducing himself and Xiao, Yueguang explained his purpose, "We are looking for someone who has attended your banquet before."

Bill just put on his bow tie, looked away from the mirror, turned to face the moonlight: "Who?"

Moonlight looked at Sean and shook his head. Sean took out a portrait of Kennedy from his inner pocket...

Before handing it over to Bill, Keanu stretched out his hand to stop Sean's movements: "Please wait a moment."

Fireworks burst out of the window, the music played by the orchestra came, and the courtyard was full of people, and Keanu said in a low voice, "The person the explorer is looking for will inevitably involve evil factors.

He turned around and explained to Bill, "For us, even hearing the name they're going to say and seeing the person's portrait, it's probably a risk..."

The owl mask turned back, stared at the moonlight, tilted his head slightly, and said in a timid tone: "These two gentlemen must understand this. Am I right? Maybe they realize that it is a kind of rash to involve others in dangerous events. Disrespectful and offended, will give up on his request...

Moonlight found that Keanu's eyes and tone were somewhat special. He felt that he seemed to have received some hypnotic hints and wanted to feel guilty for his actions, apologized immediately, and left here.

Yueguang didn't rush to answer. He closed his eyes first, and turned his attention to the music coming from outside the window. His eyelids trembled slightly: "This luthier...plays a little faster, maybe he's too excited."

After being hinted by Keanu just now, the feeling of wanting to retreat has subsided.

He reached out and stopped in front of Sean, indicating that he should not rush to show the portrait: "Mr. Keanu, you are right. Although this person's name and face are not shy or cursed, we really shouldn't be putting them on the table. Before the matter is made clear, we are eager to disclose the information of this person."

Keanu looked at Sean's mask in front of him - he just thought it was just a special gray mask. After getting closer, under the reflection of fireworks, he could see that there was a thick mist flowing slowly inside the mask...

"Wait, you are..." Keanu was obviously surprised, "The 'Palace Musician' and the 'Mist'..."

"Are you the Jack-level team that helped resolve the last angel's coming incident?"

Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and the latter nodded.

Keanu, who was somewhat wary, stood up straight: "If it was other explorers, I would have rudely asked them to leave.

"However, I have heard your rumors and deeds in the association. You are very good explorers," Keanu's originally arrogant spine leaned forward slightly to show his respect.

But his attitude was cold: "Nevertheless, as Mr. Bill's bodyguard, I have decided to refuse your request-my duty is to ensure Mr. Bill's safety. If he is involved in another evil incident, I am afraid that Deviating from my purpose."

Another... Evil Incident? Sean pondered Keanu's words calmly: "Mr. Bill will hire a Queen-level explorer as a bodyguard~www.NovelMTL.com~ Sure enough, I encountered some difficult things...

"If Keanu said that, there's nothing I can do." Sean sighed in his heart.

Just as Moonlight and Sean were about to apologize and leave, Bill took a few steps closer: "Keanu, I have an idea."

The three explorers looked at the man with gray eyes and extraordinary charm.

"Listen to what you just said, these two gentlemen explorers have decent strength.

"Why don't you let them help with that matter?" Bill said with his eyes squinting slightly, his teeth neat and white, making people feel good, this kind of charm is close to a function... "If the two gentlemen can solve our troubles, as In exchange, it's okay for us to help them."

Keanu pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "It is indeed a good proposal."

Just like before, after hearing a few words of dialogue, Sean outlined the matter: "The trouble that Queen-level explorers put on hold for the time being—maybe it's a lack of manpower, or maybe it's a huge risk in the matter itself..." He looked at the moonlight, the two of them didn't say anything, but the moonlight nodded, as if to say: first understand the situation, I understand.

Outside the window, the fireworks had finished, the orchestra changed a melodious tune, someone knocked on the door, and the butler's voice sounded: "Mr. Bill, there are several guests waiting for you."

Bill responded, "Ten minutes!"

Bill looked at the moonlight and seemed to ask his permission. Moonlight nodded slightly.

Bill put on a silk black coat, went around behind the desk, and took out a paper bag from the drawer.

With a look of disgust on his face, he threw the paper bag to the far side of the table, as if he didn't want to touch it: "Gentlemen, see for yourself."
