The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 427: House of Addicts

slap, slap, slap...

In the silence, "Remnant Soldier" Max slowly applauded slightly abruptly.

Then, this weird-looking quester pointed to Sean, turned his head and said to his two teammates, "Did I tell you that? This guy... has something."

After speaking, he took out the old biscuit jar again, and poured a piece directly into Sean's hand.

"Black Death Doctor" Foley stretched his neck, looked at the biscuit in Sean's hand, and said a little sourly: "Well, it's the third one tonight—now, he has a better relationship with you than me. "

Ignoring his partner's jealousy, Max whispered, "To be honest, I'm very glad to have met you.

"What happened just now also proves how wise it is to form an alliance with you..."

As he spoke, he took out the Explorer playing cards and looked at Sean.

Beside the bonfire, Sean stared into the eyes of the remnant soldier, lost in thought.

When they were most embarrassed, Max's team chose to lend a helping hand.

When the situation was the most unfavorable to him, Max chose the greatest degree of trust, so that he could have a chance to break the situation...

If the person in front of him is not the most worthy of allies right now and here, then maybe there is no one left.

Sean took out his playing cards.

Two Queen cards on which ectoplasm lightly touches.

The playing cards of the two captains establish a connection.

Max took back the playing cards, and he pointed to his side face. There, the burning mask of the "Remnant Soldier" almost merged with his face: "If I hadn't chosen to give up my true face...

"I thought, maybe I've taken off the mask by now."

He said with a little ecstasy: "Unfortunately... I have even forgotten my own face."

Sean pointed to Max's mask, "Maybe, this is your face—

"There are people who don't wear masks and their faces are full of hypocrisy.

"Some people wear masks..." Sean nodded, "but they are trustworthy."

As if he had received a great compliment, Max, who had always been a little crazy, actually held the mask with three fingers, and respectfully saluted Sean...

Under the comfort of spiritual atmosphere, smelling salts, piano sound, chocolate and bonfire, the group quickly recovered to 80-90%.

They got up and extinguished the bonfire, and continued towards the woodland in the direction of the castle.

Soon, thick fog rose again among the trees.

Then, in the dark woods, a little bit of starlight appeared.

When I got closer, I found that the stars were actually children wearing animal headgear, holding golden lacquer candlesticks in their hands.

They were scattered among the trees, holding candles without saying a word. The faint light of the fire illuminated the animal heads around their necks, and the pupils of the animals reflected the light of the fire.

"It's those kids again..." Moonlight suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Have you seen them?" Foley asked in a low voice.

"The free tickets for the opening day were issued by them, why—" Moonlight looked sideways at Dr. Niaozui in surprise, "Isn't your ticket given by them?"

Foley shook his head: "We bought it on the black market."

Sean, who was walking in front, heard Foley's answer.

This answer once again stimulated the question that had appeared in his mind before.

What is the purpose of Max and his party?

The remnant soldier still didn't say anything, and to show respect, Sean didn't continue to ask—

When the time comes, they will naturally explain.

"I don't like these children." In the candlelight, "Shadow" Holly showed her figure, her face was gloomy, "They... are not evil, but they don't look like humans either."

There were more and more candles among the trees, and they finally came to the second item in the courtyard area.

This place was originally a hill, and there seemed to be a natural cave inside the hill, which was built into a small inner world.

Above the entrance of the cave, there is a circle of warm-colored light bulbs, and in the middle of the light bulbs are a few words:

"The House of the Addicted".

Sean frowned: "Addict?

"So..." He looked at the countless animal headgears around him, staring at himself and others, "Are they 'addicted'?

"Children addicted to this paradise?"

Sean couldn't help thinking: Are these children from families in the lower city?

Are the dozing students in Aaliyah's class here?

At the beginning, Lyon, who hid his tickets, was also a member of them?

The answer seems obvious.

"Peter Pan tempted these children, why?"

While Sean was still thinking about it, the addicts with candles around him suddenly began to read in unison:

"This place is the home of addicts. Adults whose souls are already filthy can also taste eternal joy here for a short time.

In the vision of the past, you will see different choices.

After all this, you need to answer:

How is it stupid? How to be wise?

What choices bring pain, and what choices lead to eternal joy? "

A little girl wearing a gray rabbit headgear and a dress with red background and white dots walked up to Xiao En and his party: "Please follow me."

The Max team is led by another addict.

"It seems to be a team-based game." Sean and Max exchanged glances. After the two nodded slightly, Sean led his teammates and followed Gray Rabbit into the cave.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, they were brought into a room. Before leaving the room, the "Grey Rabbit" addict said: "The stay ceremony will start in ten minutes. Please choose the one that suits you best in this room." headgear—

"Please note that when choosing a headgear, don't choose randomly, you must choose the one that suits you best."

After closing the door, the lights in the room came on.

Moonlight took a step back in shock from the sight in front of her—

The shelves in the room are filled with "heads" of various animals, and each head has empty eyes.

This is like a room for a cruel and superb hunter to show his prey.

Father Taylor frowned and walked to these heads, touched them lightly with his fingers, then turned around and said, "It's just a hood."

Moonlight looked at everything around him: "We want to choose a headgear to wear?!"

Most of the addicts are just wearing headgear, and for some, the animal headgear has already been glued to their necks...

"Wouldn't it be impossible to take this thing off?!" Moonlight frowned uncomfortably.

Sean patted his partner on the shoulder and said calmly:

"That shouldn't be the case."

After experiencing everything in "The Clown's House", Sean found something: "The games in Midnight Paradise have a characteristic—

"Although in the game project, players will encounter challenges...

"But players will never be violated outside of the game because they abide by the rules."

That seems to be the bottom line for "Midnight Paradise."

It's not that Peter Pan has any good morals, it's just that - otherwise, the game loses its meaning.

"So..." Sean said ~lightnovelpub.net~ Putting on the headgear just means that the next game project should be carried out in this way,

"In this project we'll still have problems to solve,

"But it doesn't mean that if you wear this thing, you will encounter bad luck immediately..."

Of course, participating in the game is also a low-level helpless move.

The soul is not strong enough to directly ignore the rules of the spirit world and crush the creator.

So if you want to get to the core step by step, and want to get rid of all this - you can only choose to participate in the game.

These risks are the costs that have to be paid before meeting the "big shot".

"Guys, don't think about it.

"We have come here, and we must enter the castle.

"Start choosing your own headgear."
