The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 414: garden maze

Looking back, the gate of the courtyard area with burning torches has become the only warm color here.

But the scene in the warm colors lingered in Sean's mind...

A puppet that is crying but still welcomes tourists.

At this time, Sean's team had already entered the high shrub garden inside the courtyard area.

Sean, as the captain, walked in the front, and Olivia followed Sean closely.

And Moonlight walked behind with Father Taylor, side by side.

"Guys..." Sean turned his head and whispered, "You should have noticed that weird puppet just now.

"Obviously, he was crying."

Outside the courtyard area, the visibility is obviously good, but in this mysterious garden, the fog is gradually rising.

Looking back, Sean couldn't even see the faces of Taylor and Moonlight clearly. He continued:

"It's time for another conjecture of mine—

"About where Mrs. Dominique might have gone, and what the point of this **** open house..."

They turned a corner and lost sight of the entrance behind them at all.

Surrounded by shrubs like high walls, it seems to have entered a huge labyrinthine garden.

Behind them, the team members were silent, listening to Xiao En's narration.

"Do you guys still remember?

"The people who fell to their deaths at the Ferris Wheel of Good Luck were all loaded into carriages and transported to the direction of the castle?"

Behind him, Yueguang and others replied with the default.

"Combined with the weird agreement signed when entering the park, I think..."

At this moment, Sean himself felt a little creepy: "I think, for those tourists who died, their physical bodies were wiped out, and their souls were stuffed into those puppets to serve as the 'staff' of the park...

"They have forgotten their identities, and can only be used as tools here forever and ever."

A trace of cool air seeped into the clothes and skin, causing Moonlight to shiver involuntarily.

"And those dead seekers...

Sean flashed in front of his eyes, the scene of the body of the "Bounty Town Robber" being dragged away covered in bullet holes.

Then, he seemed to see that the red plaid mask was stained with black and red blood, and the corpse of the explorer, who had no life at all, stood up again.

"The dead explorers became the 'security personnel' of this paradise."

The same is true for the "mysterious gentleman" and "evil hunter" guarding the gate-they died in the park during the previous opening day, so they became the security of the park.

"Why are you holding this open house?

"Looking at it that way, the reason is obvious.

"Whether they are the puppets of the staff or the security guards of the paradise, they will gradually decay due to the resentment that has nowhere to vent, and degenerate into evil spirits that are completely irrational, and they can no longer be used by Peter Pan...

"That's why Peter Pan will hold open day events from time to time, using huge bonuses to attract mystery seekers and ordinary people, and using that weird wort drink to keep them, let them participate in the game, and unfortunately die...

"To fill the employees in the park."

And the puppet at the door that shed waxy tears is obviously about to become a wraith.

The fundamental purpose of the so-called "Open Day" activities is to fill the loss of staff in "Midnight Paradise".

"So, guys..." Sean said, thinking of Mrs. Dominique who was kidnapped by the shadow, "It's not hard to imagine the situation that Thomas' mother is in right now."

She is now most likely imprisoned in a puppet in Paradise, suffering terrible slavery.

"If the truth is indeed like this," Sean stared directly at the fog-shrouded front under the blue mask, "wanting to terminate that agreement...

"I can only go to Peter Pan."

In my mind, the figure of the mysterious boy in the black suit who invited the children to play appeared.

After turning a few corners by feeling, Sean realized that the entrance area of ​​the courtyard area is indeed a "garden maze".

The challenge they face now is to get out of this increasingly foggy maze.

"Guys..." Sean turned his head, trying to explain the next purpose, but found—

Behind him, including Olivia Fengling, all teammates disappeared.

The powerful heart still trembled unavoidably.

"Obviously I can still feel their breath...

"But I can't see anyone."

Sean didn't panic, he just stopped and analyzed calmly: "It seems that there is a special mechanical magic in this labyrinth garden...

"It isolates all entrants."

Breaking up the team that could have relied on each other, leaving everyone isolated...

This sudden sense of isolation affects the participant no matter how strong his nerves.

In the maze of fog where he could barely see his fingers, Xiao En couldn't help but stand up all over his body...

Shaking the explorer playing cards, but failed to get a response.

The crimson bond connecting with Olivia seemed to protrude into the void.

Using a unique method to control the fear from the surprise attack, Sean calmed down a bit: "The game in the courtyard area has already started when you step into the gate...

"I just have to keep going."

He knew the strength of his teammates and was not overly worried about their situation.

Calmly extending the spirit matter to explore the path, Xiao En gradually walked out of the area with the deepest fog.

Gradually, he could see clearly ten meters away; after walking for a while, the clouds and mist in the sky also dispersed with interest, revealing the crescent moon and stars that he hadn't seen for a long time.

There are still no traces and whereabouts of teammates. However, Sean already has the confidence to get out of this mysterious garden.

"As long as you go out, you can meet them again."

Thinking like this, the heart that was still a little anxious further calmed down.

He walked into a long straight road. Under the icy moonlight, Xiao En saw that there seemed to be something at the end of the road.

He frowned, staring at...

At the end of the straight road, there was a figure standing straight.

At this moment, the fog has cleared, and the cold moonlight illuminates the corner of the quiet garden, outlining the shadows of tall shrubs like walls.

The figure stood motionless under the shadow of the bushes, unable to make out its face.

"Is it the enemy...or?" Sean continued to walk forward cautiously.

He suddenly found that when he was walking forward, the figure at the end of the straight road also walked over with the same frequency and pace.

And when he stopped, the strange figure on the opposite side also stopped.

Standing in the shadows, motionless.

Sean frowned: "Is he imitating me?"

First, his teammates disappeared inexplicably, and then he encountered such a strange blocker.

In Sean's heart, waves of uneasiness once again appeared.

However, he turned the frantic waves into some kind of burning power:

"No matter what's on the other side, I can only go forward.

"If he wants to stop me..."

Sean's ectoplasm has already held the carbine in his stomach pocket, and the other ectoplasm's hand is placed next to various bullets...

"Don't blame me for being rude~lightnovelpub.net~ The New Testament reporter continued to walk forward, and that weird imitator also moved.

The scene in front of him made Xiao En suddenly have a hallucination: as if the center of this long road was a mirror whose edge could not be seen.

What was approaching was his own reflection in the mirror.

However, Sean quickly denied this conjecture.

As the distance got closer, he could already see the details of the opponent—

The person opposite was wearing a dusty shirt and plaid pants with suspenders covered in dust.

That dusty feeling, as if lost in this maze for hundreds of years...

What's even more weird is that the other party is wearing an old clown mask. On his face with mottled paint, there is a chilling smile on his face...
