The Modern Age of the Mysterious Chapter 156

Sean heard something special.

Undercurrent surging, bubbles rising, sonar low...

Where am I?

Sean opened his eyes, the surroundings seemed to be very lively, like a golden city surrounded by dark night...

Sean was walking in the crowd, the excitement around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Between the brightly lit buildings, Sean saw an exaggeratedly large cold light full moon in the exposed corner of the sky.

In the full moon, the silhouettes of a flock of birds passed by.

When the things after the bird passed by, Sean realized that what he had just seen was not a bird, but a group of fish.

——Because he saw the silhouette of a whale swimming across the moon.

Sean opened his eyes, the golden city and the whales swimming across the moon disappeared. What he saw in front of him was the plain white ceiling.

Sore all over... Sean frowned and sat up.

Looking around, he was in a sunny independent ward.

"Aaliyah..." The image of her younger sister with her hair cut short and her face full of tears flashed in front of her eyes.

"Olivia..." Black icicles bloomed in the delicate body of brass.

"Moonlight, Evan, Doug..." On the chaotic street, scattered teammates.

Abandoned U-boat that fell from the sky...

"I'm not dead?"

"Yes, you are not dead." A voice sounded.

Sean raised his head and found the independent detective named Arthur Merlin standing beside his hospital bed, "You used your psychic essence to hide yourself in the well at the last moment - only slightly injured."

"Mr. Merlin."

Sean knew that what he did was desperate. If he failed to save Aaliyah this time, he would lose everything, and would most likely face sanctions from the association or even the court.

"Mr. Dickinson." Arthur Merlin raised the hat on his head, "I've heard it for a long time.

"I didn't expect to be involved with you for the first time, but you turned out to be used as a pawn." The top Ace-level tone was flat.

Sean clenched his fists: "I have something to do."

He was at a disadvantage, and time was running out. In order to save Arya, he could only do this.

Sometimes, summoning up the courage to take risks is a last resort strategy.

"No, don't be nervous." Merlin raised his hands, "I'm not angry, on the contrary, I admire you very much.

"I appreciate the kind of courage and resourcefulness you have shown in order to rescue your sister - it's a pity that the opponent is too strong and too cunning.

"If I were just an audience member, I would support you unconditionally, and would regret such a result."

Sean felt a pain in his heart: Failure is not terrible.

The scary thing is that he lost the news of Arya again.

"If I'm not mistaken..." The independent detective's eyes had the color of stardust, "You are anxious about your sister's whereabouts."

"It's not easy for me," Sean was a little weak all over. "It took a long time to grab Kennedy's tail... I didn't expect it to be..."

"Don't be too discouraged." Arthur Merlin pulled out a folding chair, sat down, and whispered, "I know where Lingmei was taken."

Sean sat up suddenly, his eyes widened: "Where?!"

Merlin left the seat and pressed Sean back to the hospital bed: "Don't worry - I need to reach a cooperation agreement with you before revealing the information."

Sean frowned: "What cooperation agreement...?" He shook his head: "If I guess correctly, I will be judged by the association next, not only will I lose my qualifications as an explorer, but I may also face prison. , I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you."

Merlin shook his head: "No. The association has a scrutiny attitude towards your evaluation of your actions this time, and it has not yet been determined.

"Of course..." He closed his eyes, "You have angered a lot of people, and many people want to stab you, so the association prefers to punish you.

"However, if you can make up for it and complete a secret mission, the association will spare you.

"Besides, I don't think you have any reason to refuse this mission.

"Because, the execution place of this mission is the same place that your sister was taken to."

Sean narrowed his eyes: "Where?"

"A city on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean - Ocean City."

After Arthur Merlin left the ward, Sean sat alone and meditated.

After the independent detective finished telling the details of the secret mission, Sean could feel that this mission that needed to be performed in Ocean City was quite dangerous, but he accepted the secret mission without any hesitation.

The reason is very simple - if he refuses, he will undoubtedly be sent to the Inquisitor's Tribunal; if he accepts, he can not only use the identity and resources of the inquisitor, but also continue to pursue his sister.

He even felt that Arthur Merlin seemed to have bought himself a pretty good opportunity.

After confirming that he was in good health, Sean left the independent ward.

"I thought I would be under custody and lose my personal freedom...

"It seems that the senior management of the association is still very clear about the details of the incident - they know that although my actions are arbitrary and have not been reported, in the final analysis it is a kind of risk mitigation..."

In the explorer building, through the vibration of playing cards, Sean found his teammates.

He was relieved when he saw that Moonlight, Evan and Doug, although they were all covered with cotton cloths and bandages, were generally safe and sound.

Standing on an open-air rooftop of the association, Moonlight was smoking a cigarette, turned around and saw Sean coming out, and said with a smile, "Sean, before this incident, I always thought I was the one who was good at making big troubles in the team. Look, that person is you!"

According to Arthur Merlin's dictation, Sean's team finally caused the orange-haired girl to run wild, almost destroying the entire street...

Sean smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't expect Kennedy and their people... to be so strong. This hunt is a failure."

Evan leaned against the railing, shook his head slightly and said, "If you hadn't cleared the godhead he summoned in the end, we'd all be doomed -- this is considered impossible to complete the hunt, but the opponent has too many tricks, or Let him escape."

Doug also nodded in agreement: "There is no doubt that the Ace-class escaped, and I also think we defeated him, but unfortunately we didn't save your sister."

Evan and Doug have no complaints about this mission, not only because they did beat Kennedy, but also have good results.

Evan Burns got the C-level mysterious heritage called "Crow's Nest", and Doug, the degenerate, broke his fears.

For a degenerate, breaking a fear means a leap forward, and his degeneration ability and the limit of loss of control have been greatly improved, no less than the harvest of a C-level mysterious legacy.

Sean's promise before the mission was fully fulfilled.

Not only that, Yueguang also gained a further understanding of "Nocturne" in the high-intensity battle. After "Nether Prelude", he will also gain the qualification to play the next piece.

"By the way~www.mtlnovel.com~ Where's Olivia?" Sean lowered his voice, his heart felt a little squeezed.

"She recovered before people arrived and left the scene." Moonlight said, "Your family may be a little sensitive, so I asked her to hide in mine - now Wendy should be taking care of her."

Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

During the conversation, Sean learned that the senior officials of the association who had mastered the specific situation had reached a tacit agreement and did not inform Longway Barton of the true identity of the "Red Clothes Religion" who started to kidnap Benjamin.

From the perspective of the Patton family, it was the gang led by Charles Kennedy who kidnapped Benjamin Patton.

This kind of treatment is naturally to maintain the reputation of the association and give Sean a chance to make up for his faults.

However, this treatment can be regarded as protecting Sean's team.

In addition, the Barton family has lost trust in the association, and they would rather appoint other personnel themselves than accept the association's petition to rescue Benjamin.

Thinking of the shivering Master Patton, although Sean knew that his attempt was to save him, he couldn't help but blame himself.

After that, out of voluntary premise, Sean informed his teammates that he had accepted the assignment from the top of the association, and asked them about their wishes...
