The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 167: nursery rhyme

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

"A cruise ship is a closed environment. Any strange occurrences are like accumulating pressure inside it and cannot be released..."

"Since we can't solve this source by dispelling the curse, as long as the emerald necklace can be brought out of this closed environment, its danger will also be diluted..."

This is Sean's idea.

However, he did not hold out much hope for the plan.

So, rather than a sigh of relief, Sean was more like waiting.

During this time, the group returned to Solomon's room.

Ivan closed his eyes and felt the senses of the pigeon.

Others waited in silence.

After a while, Evan opened his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Sean almost rushed to Evan.

Evan sighed and shook his head gently: "The necklace disappeared."

Sure enough... Sean's heart tightened.

Although he knew things would not be so simple, Sean hoped that a miracle would happen when implementing the plan.

However, it turned out that the necklace was bound by some rules and would not leave the ship.

"Where did the necklace go?" Solomon asked in horror.

Sean gritted his teeth and, according to the previous arrangement, assigned Ivan and Moonlight to take Solomon and the crew members to different places, while he took Olivia to the deck.

The necklace did not exude spiritual power, and they could only search for it through physical means.

Before using the carrier pigeon to take away the necklace, Sean thought of the current situation.

It was a terrible thing that the necklace disappeared again, but he had to try this plan.

"If you find the whereabouts of the necklace, just grab it and find a way to notify me!" Shawn shouted.

The so-called "find a way to notify" is nothing more than using the explorer's playing cards to contact.

However, Sean still has to maintain his identity as a mysterious reporter, so he cannot explain it in front of the crowd.

During the run, Sean diffused the spiritual substance and tried to monitor the sound within a certain range.

At the same time, he began to write the known rules involving emerald necklaces in the root space:

When not worn, the necklace attracts the bearer to wear it. If the holder refuses to wear it, the necklace will randomly attract people around to **** it;

Wearing the necklace transforms the wearer's shape, personality and memory into Vivienne. People around her will randomly kill her. The longer Vivian survives, the stronger the killing intent, and the more people it affects (doubtful);

During the voyage, the necklace is protected by certain rules and cannot be discarded, destroyed and sealed;

There is a certain law in the influence of necklaces on the people around them: the people with the weakest mental power are preferentially affected. If the people around have strong mental power, this rule still works, but people with strong mental power can resist its influence to a certain extent, but it is only a matter of time before this resistance falls;

Whenever a Vivian dies, there will be a countdown mark on the left palm, but what will happen after the countdown is reset to zero is still unknown.

...

After the rules were written, Sean's thinking became clearer.

Looking at these rules, various situations were constantly deduced in his mind, and gradually, a trace of despair appeared in his heart:

"As long as the necklace is still on board, its bewitching of people's hearts will not stop.

"And we simply can't make it go away...it's just an unbreakable cycle!"

He found that even if his team has decent soul strength and fighting ability, it seems that they are not afraid to face powerful enemies...

However, when the opponent is a mysterious item that cannot be classified and understood...

When the battle unfolds in an eerie form...

Sean's heart lost the confidence of winning, and there was a little more uncertainty about the future.

Battling demagogic things, Sean's team doesn't have enough to deal with.

In the inner pocket, there has been no news of the explorer's playing cards.

He and Olivia had already reached the deck area where the crowd was most dense.

The search areas allocated by Sean are all crowded places, because intuition makes him think that if the necklace is to reappear on the boat, it must be a crowded place.

It's like the philosophy of fishing - you should go where there are plenty of fish!

At this time, the sky is still as blue as wash, and the warm sunny sun shines on people's bodies.

Sarah's family has disappeared, but there are still many people leisurely playing on the deck.

"Where?" Sean's spiritual string has been stretched to the limit, and his spiritual essence swept around unscrupulously...

"Where?!" The surrounding laughter sounded a bit harsh to Sean, and he needed to concentrate!

"In the end, where?!"

In the noise of the crowd, Sean heard the voices of a group of little girls.

With the rhythmic tapping sound, they were reciting something in unison:

"...Oh, poor Elaine, people are going to kill her.

The sixth Elaine was stabbed with a knife.

The fifth, Elaine, was shot dead.

The fourth Elaine, hanged from the mast..."

The sixth, Elaine, was stabbed with a knife?

Sean turned to the direction of the sound as if electrified.

He saw four or five little girls dancing rubber bands, and while the little girl in the blue dress in the middle was dancing, they were singing a weird nursery rhyme in unison.

Sean walked over slowly, focused on them, and listened to the whole nursery rhyme:

"Oh, poor Elaine.

She wanted to go home after being away from home for many years,

Boarded a big boat.

The people on the boat coveted her birthday present,

In order to possess it forever, choose to kill her.

Oh poor Elaine ~lightnovelpub.net~ people are going to kill her.

The sixth Elaine was stabbed with a knife.

The fifth, Elaine, was shot dead.

The fourth Elaine, hanged from the mast.

The third, Elaine, was pushed into the sea.

The second Elaine, drank the poison.

The last Elaine, the people divided her.

Oh poor Elaine, she was divided.

As it was at sea, no one could bury her.

The last Elaine died, the ship as her grave,

sunk at the bottom of the sea.

People divided her, and the fish ate people.

Oh poor Elaine.

She wanted to go home after being away from home for many years,

She got on a big boat..."

There is no doubt that the story of the "poor Elaine" in the nursery rhyme is happening on this ship.

However, the unfortunate person in the nursery rhyme was named Elaine, but in reality, it was Vivian who was repeatedly killed.

Not only that, but Sean also discovered that this is a nursery rhyme that can go on and on.

After the little girls read "Fish ate people again", they added a new sentence "Poor Elaine", and then continued from scratch, Elaine once again boarded a big boat...

As if it were an endless endless loop.

"An infinite loop..." Sean murmured, and in order not to let his mind fall into some kind of abyss, he shook his head violently, forcing himself to continue exploring...

In order not to frighten the little girls, Sean did his best to calm down all the emotions that were emerging in his heart.

He wiped his sweat, took a few deep breaths, and walked over to the little girls as naturally as possible.

He wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

With a dry voice, but as softly as possible, he asked, "Girls, who taught you this nursery rhyme you read?"
