The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"I'm the man with Arya at Mr. Bill's banquet.

"Mr. Sean, I have to say, you left a deep impression on me..."

Sean interrupted the other party's words: "Where is Arya?!"

The man on the other side of the phone didn't seem to hear Sean's words, and continued: "...I thought you would just die like this, or leave New Zealand out of fear -- it seems that I underestimated your stupidity and arrogance.

"You remind me of cockroaches in the kitchen—poor, weak, but always lingering."

"You must be thinking, who are we? Why did we take Arya away..."

Even if the other party is deliberately provoking him, Sean's intuition of communication works - he senses that the other party's constant talk is purposeful.

After being alert, Sean could vaguely hear the man's voice on the phone, and a very subtle, very low voice. That voice is easy to ignore, and if Sean's attention is on what the man is saying, it's absolutely indistinguishable. The voice seemed to be murmuring some unusually vile and profane language.

Sean already has basic knowledge of the mystery. He knows that there are some special spells that will take effect as long as the victim hears it - the other party is casting a spell on himself over the phone!

Sean said succinctly, "This trick is useless." Then he quickly put down the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Sean picked up the holy water at hand, activated the candlestick symbol, and swept the psychic tentacles around to check. Of course, he didn't forget to check his body.

After finding nothing unusual, Sean breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I discovered the other party's plot in time... If I didn't have any mysterious knowledge, I would think it was an opportunity to tell the other party's words, and then stay on the phone with him for a long time. Circling... In that case, I'll finish listening to that evil spell, and it's not hard to imagine what will happen after that!"

Sean was very satisfied with his quick response: "Not only that, but in my last sentence, I hinted to the other party that I know mystical knowledge. This may make him afraid..."

Sean calmly resolved a deadly phone call, and he deeply felt what "knowledge changes destiny".

At night, after making sure that there would be no more phone calls, Sean began to meditate and dispel the scarlet of "Witch Moon".

"I must assimilate this crescent symbol as soon as possible. The 'candelabra' has strengthened my soul, allowing me to emit esoteric substances, and also has an extraordinary memory. After the assimilation of this crescent symbol, there will definitely be more benefits ."

Sean's meditation has become more and more proficient. He can quickly enter a meditative state, allowing the symbols to emit a stronger light.

Soon, the scarlet of the Witch Moon was all dispelled. The candlestick seems to have finally connected this new little symbol, and the color of the Witch's Moon is unified with the entire symbol.

Sean put his attention into it and fully felt...

"Huh... the solidification ability of the psychic tentacles has stabilized." He stretched out a tentacle, injected the feeling of solidification, and then used the tentacles to pick up the cup in the distance a few meters away.

If any ordinary person sees this scene - a cup inexplicably floats into the air, they will definitely think it is haunted!

"There are two other feelings..." Sean distinguished carefully.

One is a more intense and sharp feeling. After Sean injected the spiritual essence, the end of the tentacles suddenly became sharp like a blade. The originally soft blue color was filled with evil rust.

Sean immediately thought of the "vicious claws" that the witch corpse attacked him.

This sharp knife with rust obviously has the "vicious" attribute.

He tried to use the "sharp knife" to stab the wall, and the sharp edge easily pierced the concrete wall, leaving "rust marks" representing vicious attributes on the edge of the pierced hole...

"Vicious puncture?" Sean stared at the deep scar he stabbed on the wall with the spiritual substance, "I feel that the damage to living things will be greater. However, this penetrating power can also kill evil things. "

Although this attack method is still powerful, when Sean used it, he clearly felt a resentment in his heart: "Vicious piercing should have an adverse effect on the user's mind, and repeated use may cause people to fall into uncontrollable conditions. Manic."

In addition, there was a softer feeling, and Sean tried to pervade the spiritual substance.

Soon, the texture of the spiritual substance changed, as if it had turned into a green mist that shone with light...

Sean suddenly found that the wound on his left arm, which was immersed in the green mist, was being healed quickly by the corpse, and Sean also had a feeling in his heart: "This is another ability brought by the Witch's Moon, which can be called as The 'Elixir Mist' heals the wounds of living creatures and has a certain detoxification effect...

"However, healing requires a lot of spiritual power. Given the limited spiritual power, it must be used sparingly. If the spiritual power is overdrawn in a dangerous place and you lose consciousness, it will be over."

"Vicious Puncture" and "Elixir Mist", after assimilating the Witch Moon, Sean's Essence gained two abilities.

"One is an attack method that can kill evil things, and the other is the ability to heal..." Sean felt somewhat satisfied, "If I could only rely on foreign objects for self-defense before, then now, I also have my own minions.

"If you encounter resentful spirits or corpses in the future, you don't have to be as embarrassed as last time." Sean clenched his fists, feeling a little more powerful.

He is more curious about the symbol he owns: "It can not only strengthen the soul and realize many special abilities, but also collect the abilities of other systems and turn it into the expansion and extension of runes.

"Not only the Witch's Moon I got this time, but the candlestick can also absorb more symbols - if I collect it carefully, I can get a lot of different abilities.

Sean thought of the mysterious man who called him earlier: "The other party always wanted to kill me, but he didn't know that I was getting stronger quickly... I must continue, get the explorer license, and get the function.

"I not only want to find Aaliyah, but in the future, I will also settle accounts with those who are hiding in the shadows!" Sean clenched his teeth unconsciously, and his spiritual essence showed dangerous rust...

During the three days of advertising, Sean asked Daisy to let her detective friend hold a photo of a man in a tuxedo for a secret questioning - after all, Mr. Pierce's memory has been tampered with, and it doesn't mean that all those who attended the banquet that day were wrong. I don't even remember this man.

However, since Mr. Bill's banquet is not an invitation system~www.novelmt.com~ Anyone who is willing to attend can come, so to trace the participants of the day, we can only find them through the memories of known participants.

There are many attendees. After getting the names, I will go to visit them one by one. The investigation cycle of this matter is very long, and progress may not be made in a short period of time, so Sean can only wait for the news here.

At the end of the three days of advertising, Sean received nearly 200 calls in total. Many people did not know Aaliyah's whereabouts, but they all said that they were moved by Sean's desire to find his sister and were willing to help unconditionally.

Sean was greatly moved, but he did not ask these people to provide too much help, and refused almost all requests to meet.

"They are ordinary people with good intentions." Shawn thought, "After all, the search for Aaliyah is dangerous, and they can't be involved too deeply."

After the advertising period ended, Sean paid the other half of the cost to the newspaper according to the contract. Back in the room, the phone rang again.

Sean didn't have much expectations for the call - it was obvious that the other party hid Aaliyah very well. Of course, there is another possibility that the other party has already left the New York City. Sean was very anxious about the second possibility.

He picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Sean Dickinson."

The caller was an old lady who said she saw the girl in the newspaper.

Sean asked patiently, "Can you tell me what other features she has? For example, the color of her hair or eyes."

"Oh," the old lady said a little excitedly, "I remember, she was a very beautiful girl, her hair was so long that it almost fell below her waist. And those eyes, although I only glanced at them, but Can't forget those pale blue... uh, eyes."
