The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 120: Kennedy investigation progress

After paying the 2000 New Zealand dollar share fee, Fat Mo handed over the two agreements to Daisy and Sean and left in a hurry, no longer the original nature of nagging.

After taking a stake in the black market **** product business, Sean will receive a dividend of about NZD 500 at the end of each month, and he will be able to buy all kinds of **** products at 50% of the price, many of which are often out of stock in the **** product vending machines. , such as holy flame silver coins.

The news finally came from Bill's side, and the investigation against Kennedy finally came to a conclusion.

Due to Kennedy's oblivion, the mission to track down Kennedy did not remind Bill of the disappearance of Alia Dickinson.

In order not to let him have any associations, he connected the relevant investigation with Sean, and when he received the clues, the masked Moonlight went alone.

After getting the corresponding clues, Moonlight came to Sean's house with the kraft paper bag with the clues.

He took out all the investigation reports from the paper bag and put them on the table, and Sean's eyes fell on a photo.

Tall and thin body, deep eye sockets, mysterious and hesitant temperament... In addition to not wearing a top hat, the picture on the photo is obviously Mr. Kennedy who kidnapped Aaliyah.

"Finally!" Sean clenched his fists.

If the identity of the kidnapper can be known, then it is very possible to trace his whereabouts, and also be able to **** Arya back!

"William Adams..." Sean frowned, "Is this Kennedy's real name?"

However, as Sean flipped through Kennedy's investigation report, there was a huge confusion in his heart again.

"William Adams, Arkham National Museum First Class Guide.

"Died June 21, 1921. Body found in Arkham National Museum. Cause of death unknown."

The information in his hand turned to a photo of a corpse at the scene of a man's death.

Saying "a man" is judged by physique and clothing.

Because this corpse photo is too weird.

The body identified as William Adams fell in a pool of blood, and the face that should have facial features was blank.

His face disappeared.

Sean raised his head and was meeting the same confused moonlight's eyes. It took him a long time before he said, "Kennedy took the tour guide's face?"

Moonlight squinted, with a hint of interest in his eyes: "I'm afraid yes..."

Sean remembered something he saw in the "Ancient God Investigation Report".

The events recorded in the investigation report made him have to think of the hair-raising descriptions in the "Report".

Kennedy has something to do with that nameless, faceless and invisible **** who is risky to even mention his name?

If this is the case, then the person named Kennedy has probably sacrificed his appearance and name.

"His strange ability may be related to this..." Sean remembered the scene where the photographer's memory was erased and tampered with.

The investigation was not as smooth as expected. The portrait pointed not to Kennedy himself, but to a face he had taken away.

However, Sean's eyes fell on the name "Arkham National Museum".

"There must be a reason why Kennedy went to this museum, and he had to see it anyway."

Moonlight added: "There are many bounty quests in Arkham City, I suggest you go to the association to see if there are any bounty quests that you can complete along the way...

"In this way, you can not only get the task bonus, but also recruit teammates."

Sean agreed with Moonlight's idea, and the two drove to the Quest Center.

In the Quest Center on the tenth floor, Sean and Moonlight searched for a while on the wall covered with quests, and found that there were indeed many quests involving Arkham.

Among the layers of quest bounties, Moonlight found a quest to investigate the Arkham National Museum.

It's on white paper - meaning it's an official mission issued by the association, but the mission seems to have been posted for a long time, and the edges of the white paper are slightly yellowed:

"Mission Location: Arkham City, Arkham National Museum."

"July 1921 Mission: Investigate the death of a guide in the Rijksmuseum.

August 1921 Additional mission: Investigate the disappearance of the "Old Hunter" Gustave Burns squad. (Note: The task has been upgraded from normal risk to high risk)

Mission difficulty: jack level (high risk)

Completion Reward: NZ$800 (group) for items found in missions and mystical heritage

Application status: In February 1923, 1 explorer applied for the task, waiting for 3 teammates;

In January 1924, 1 explorer applied for a mission and waited for 2 teammates;"

After reading the mission details, Sean said, "It's a little weird, isn't it?"

Yueguang also straightened up, his face full of doubts: "It's really strange.

"The bounty for this quest is high among jack-level quests..." Moonlight showed a blank look on his face, and opened the covered quest to read, "The entire team has 800 New Zealand dollars."

Sean continued: "After it was released in July 1921, it was picked up in August, but this..." Sean tried to recall, "Gustave Burns' squad seems to be missing?"

Moonlight nodded: "That's right, and then no one paid attention to it. It wasn't until last year and this year that one explorer applied for the mission, and now there are just two teammates missing...

"Even if it belongs to the high risk in the jack class, it is really strange that a task has not been accepted for two years. Why is this? Are there some risks that are not listed on the task bounty?"

Sean asked, "Is it because it was covered up by other mission papers?"

Moonlight shook his head: "No such thing."

"That may be a hidden risk, let's ask the staff of the association."

After finding the staff of the association, it seemed that the other party couldn't remember the details of the task because it was too long. He followed Sean to the task wall, and only remembered after reading it: "Oh, this is an ordinary jack-level task, Upgraded to high risk because one team has not been rewarded. No other risk information."

Moonlight asked curiously, "Then why hasn't anyone picked up for so long?"

The staff member's blue eyes rolled up and shrugged: "Many tasks are like this, it's a bit metaphysical... Maybe because it's a task for Arkham City, and it involves a national museum that may have ancient collections?

"Both of these are relatively easy to 'win the jackpot'," the staff smiled, "I am afraid that many people are taboo.

"By the way, Arkham City has Miskatonic University, which is famous for its mysticism, so its museum collection is very rich and interesting. I went to see it when I was a child, and it is much more interesting than the New Testament museum. You this time The task is just right to visit.

"What information is there about the missing Gustav Burns squad?"

Sean and Yueguang followed the staff to the archives room, and the other party handed over the files that they had applied for the mission to Sean again and again.

"Gustav Burns. Male, 37 years old, senior jack-level explorer, 12 years in the business, mask is 'Winter Forest Hunter'..."

The other three players are also jack-level, and two of them are already in the senior ranks.

"Winter Forest Hunter..." Sean frowned, "Has an exceptionally keen sense of danger. There are also three senior jack-level players in the team. Even if they win the grand prize, there is still a great chance of escape. How could they end up missing?"

Sean looked up and asked, "Did the search and rescue force have any reports of disappearances at that time?"

"The disappearance of the explorer kept the museum closed for almost two months, but the search and rescue team had nothing to gain.

"That's why it was released as a high-risk jack-level task~lightnovelpub.net~ Sean said: "It feels like a queen-level task..."

The staff shrugged: "High-risk jacks, common-risk queens, they're all about the same. Association members can just decide for themselves."

The staff were quick to leave it behind and get on with other things.

Sean didn't look very good - they'd already won the jackpot many times, and this task exuded a decidedly ominous...

With the expression of reading a horror novel, Moonlight played creepy music with one hand, and said, "Arkham City, the National Museum, and the 'Legendary' explorer Sean!

"When the three winning factors come together, will it cause a world-class disaster?"

Sean first held his forehead, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Maybe there will be a negative situation and a positive situation?

"Because the Arkham City Museum is too easy to win, after adding me, it will become the kind of task that can be easily solved?

"Impossible..." Yueguang waved his hands again and again, "A team has already disappeared."

Sean was lost in thought.

Although there are some contradictions, he still can't let go of the clue that "the guide lost his face".

There must be some important Kennedy secrets hidden in the Arkham National Museum. If you want to find Aaliyah, it is impossible to bypass this high-risk mission.

Take a look at the museum anyway.

"Why don't we take the mission?" Yueguang suggested as if he knew Sean's concerns.

Sean thought about it and rejected the proposal: "The mission of the museum must be related to Kennedy, and an investigation in it will definitely trigger danger. If you take the mission, you can get two more teammates..."

"Yes." Yueguang sighed heavily, relieved, "If you are still hesitating, then take it!"
