The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 288: golden hunting ground

"Even though it's sleeping..." Wright smiled wryly and shook his head, "But, I can actually feel the passage of time.

"The pain hasn't stopped, but because I'm in a drowsy state, I'm finally not so sad."

"Then," Alicia's gaze turned from Wright to Sean, "I woke Wright according to Flamel's records."

A strange light flashed in Alicia's eyes, and Sean could think of what a strange experience it was to look at the dawn-colored matter to form a human shape.

"Because I know that if I want to hide from Rabilins, I can only make the Golden Stone show his original appearance.

"After communicating with Wright, he agreed and agreed to help me in order to prevent Rabilins from becoming a god.

"And the condition I promised him was..." Alicia looked at Wright, "After resolving the crisis in Rabilins, I will help him find a way to sleep without hurting others."

After Alicia and Wright finished their stories, the chaotic battlefield fell into a long silence.

As an insider, Wendy didn't show much surprise.

Shawn and the others were all shocked by the truth.

After returning to his senses, Sean said, "We can't waste time here. Don't forget, there is another enemy in this city - Mayor Verne."

After Sean reminded everyone, Wright first walked to Rabilins' side and recovered his hand, which was composed of a touchstone, into his body.

Alicia put the shattered golden skeleton into her luggage - this mysterious thing seems to also act as a space luggage.

Then, a golden object the size of a button flew into Alicia's open hand.

She didn't even think about it, she actually handed the "Eye of the Labyrinth Island" to Sean.

Sean looked at her in surprise.

"You deserve it, and this thing originally belonged to Golden Rose."

Wright, who was squatting on the side, also nodded lightly, confirming that what Alicia said was true.

Before it was the scarab badge, this time it was the Eye of Labyrinth Island...

Only then did Sean realize Dar Finch's preference for Olivia.

Gently pinching the slender golden pupils, Sean walked to Olivia's side.

If the pupils are spiritual, they can't wait to be embedded in the pupils of the alchemy girl.

The eyes of Labyrinth Island merged into Olivia's eyes, making her ruby ​​eyes stained with some pale golden luster.

If you look closely at her eyes, you can see the criss-crossing, fine lines, as if you will fall into them if you stare for too long.

Olivia Wind Chime's body also showed a layer of pale gold color, she looked more complete and agile than before.

Not only the appearance is perfect, but Olivia's vision has become clearer and her reaction speed has become faster due to the return of the Eye of the Labyrinth Island.

Sean suddenly thought: Does this mean the "Library of Dawn" and some heritage in the labyrinth island...

Shaking his head to drive away some greedy thoughts, just as Sean was about to speak, the surrounding radio suddenly rang.

After a melodious piece of music representing "The Mayor's speech is about to begin," Fuller Verne came out on the radio, in a morbid and crazy tone: "Ladies and gentlemen...

"The Ocean City Carnival is about to reach its climax..."

Carnival? Sean frowned.

Due to his focus on the lion slaughter plan, he had just forgotten that in the turbulent Ocean City, most of the citizens were participating in the annual carnival in the business district to celebrate the completion of Ocean City.

For other cities, it is impossible to hold the carnival as scheduled when there are armed conflicts in the urban area and someone performs the incarnation ceremony.

However, these common sense and rules do not exist in this crazy city led by the crazy mayor.

What cannot be forgotten is that they ate inhuman flesh mixed with hallucinogenic drugs.

At this moment, not far from the ashes of the church district, the business district is bustling and lively, and the excited citizens are wearing golden masks and enjoying the festive atmosphere.

Verne's voice continued: "As in previous years, the 'Golden Hunting Ground' is about to open..."

In the sound of Verne's noisy popping beans, Sean heard a faint sound of firing.

"Be careful!" He didn't have time to stop him, so he could only convey it to Olivia in a heart-to-heart manner.

Olivia Wind Chime instantly unscrewed the copper-boned umbrella, blocking Alicia Pompeii's body.

Like the sound of a big hailstone hitting the canopy...

It was not an assassination bullet, but a golden color bullet with no lethality.

The golden color bullet shattered on the copper-boned umbrella surface, and still splashed onto Alicia's body.

On Alicia's clothes and skin, a golden lacquer with a strong floral fragrance remained.

"What is this? Is it poisonous?!" Sean shouted alertly, trying to separate those golden paints with esoteric substances.

And those golden paints made of special chemicals seemed to soak into Alicia's skin in an instant...

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous..." Alicia's face was gloomy, she didn't try to wipe off the golden paint that dried up in an instant.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Verne's voice became more and more high-pitched, "This year's 'Golden Hunting Ground' prey has appeared!

"As in previous years, he or she has a golden lacquer on his or her body that cannot be scrubbed off and has a strong floral fragrance...

"Whoever kills the target will get permanent residency in Ocean City and a reward of $30,000!"

"At this moment, the entire territory of Ocean City is your hunting ground - but, be careful, don't destroy public property!"

In the commercial area, the citizens who were holding wine glasses or food, and wearing carnival masks, put down what they were holding and took out their weapons...

Pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, and rifles.

They called friends and accompany them, shouting, and seeming to be enjoying themselves, they started a city-wide search.

Everyone wants to get a bonus.

And the citizens who were not so crazy all returned to their homes and closed their doors and windows.

Sean looked at Alicia in disbelief.

Obviously, Fuller Verne is using a special method to implement his own revenge.

"You are now the target of everyone in Ocean City..."

"Use the touchstone!" Sean's eyes lit up, "Wipe these things off with the touchstone!"

"No." Alicia shook her head, "These golden paints should have been made by Rabilins..."

"what?"

"There are traces of Philosopher's Stone in it.

"Perhaps he originally intended to permanently locate me.

"As a result, it happened to be used by Verne—he is not a fool."

"It can't be wiped off with a Philosopher's Stone in a short time..."

It seems to be able to see the bustling, dispersing, citizens with weapons...

Alicia's eyes narrowed: "You can only escape."

Remembering that Tesler could help, Sean calmed down. Just as he was about to speak, the street lights in the industrial area went out one by one, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

Not only the industrial area, Sean could see through the blisters, other areas of Ocean City were also plunged into darkness.

In this darkness, the golden paint on Alicia's body exudes a faint light, which is particularly eye-catching.

Hunting in the dark is the tradition of the "golden hunting ground".

After waiting for a few seconds, the lighting did not recover, and Sean was a little confused: "It stands to reason that Tesler, who has been paying attention to here, should find a way to restart the power supply...

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

I don't know what happened to Tesler hiding in the central room, Sean led a group of people and planned to leave the industrial area first.

"Hiding in Tesler's central room is not a good choice...

"That will most likely reveal his existence.

"Also, staying in the industrial area will be besieged, so it's better to take advantage of the darkness and find a place that extends in all directions to hide..."

Citizens armed with weapons are not such terrifying enemies to Xiao Ai and his party.

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ They have just experienced a fierce battle, not only have no spiritual power, but also have no physical strength to use the Philosopher's Stone.

——Now they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

However, there were tens of thousands of hunters who rounded up them...

The danger, compared to facing Rabillins, has increased unabated.

Below 300 meters, the sun does not shine here.

Without the lighting, it was so dark that I could barely reach my fingers.

The rich darkness seemed to weaken the lighting in Sean's hands.

The flashlight in his hand seemed to only be able to illuminate a distance of five meters away.

Without the sense of security provided by sufficient lighting, they truly realized at this time that they were in the deep sea.

In this extremely depressed feeling, strange music sounded on the radio.

It is a female voice singing soothing jazz.

The song of ecstasy echoes in every corner of the dark city.

A huge shadow in the sea swims past.

Masked mad citizens, armed with weapons and flashlights, looked for their prey with weird smiles on their faces.

The true face of Ocean City seems to have finally emerged.
