The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 435: Arrive at the castle

The latest website: Moonlight blinked: Yes, why do you do this?

Why should people in Xiacheng become forever children and lose the ability to pursue their ideals?

Sean shook his head: "On this issue, I can only guess."

"Tell me about it."

The New Testament reporter thought about it for a while and said, "Just like the name of the 'Stay Ceremony',

"People who stop chasing their ideals will 'stay'."

"Stay down?" Moonlight frowned, obviously not understanding what Sean meant.

The wheel appeared to hit a rock, causing the carriage to shake. Max, leaning against the wall of the carriage, bounced slightly, still closed his eyes and breathed evenly.

After the bump, Sean continued: "Yeah, they'll stop.

"These 'children' who never grow up in their hearts form the basis of the spiritual existence of 'Midnight Paradise'.

"If you compare it to religion, Midnight Paradise is like a holy place. Peter Pan is the only true **** in the holy place, and these addicted people are his 'basic believers'."

"Gods exist because of belief.

"With these basic believers, Peter Pan has been able to maintain the existence and strength of this spirit."

There is no doubt that Peter Pan is still carefully expanding his independent kingdom.

"The weird thing is..." Moonlight lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked at the castle, which had a very prominent presence at the moment, "There is a big man protecting this spiritual realm."

Whether it was Arthur Merlin's hint or the warning from "Returned Dorothy", the strong representative of the association, outside the paradise, they all showed one thing—

With the strength of the divine court and the Explorers Association, as long as you make up your mind, the culprits in Midnight Paradise and this place can be eliminated overnight.

However, it has not only existed for ten years, but no one has intervened in this matter so far.

Sean became more and more certain of a conjecture: Peter Pan might be a subordinate of someone at the top.

That person at the top let Peter Pan transform the minds and thoughts of the new generation of people in the lower city, and let them stay forever in this seemingly beautiful, but extremely evil place

"So, the whole picture is like this..." Father Taylor also looked at the castle outside the window, "Peter Pan used his ability to firmly control the next generation of the lower city - he made the future of the lower city become He made sacrifices and offered sacrifices to this spiritual world, consolidating his independent kingdom, and supporting him, this evil 'spirit'..."

Sean nodded slightly.

"Here..." As if to suppress the raging anger, Father Taylor tightly held the rosary and the "Holy Book" and closed his eyes, "Sure enough, there is evil that must be eliminated."

Everyone was speechless, and Sean opened the black book again.

The carriage finally finished its climb, and an open flat road stretched straight to the castle gate.

A residual fire ignited—a dark red flame burned above Max's mask "Remnants of the Destroyed Legion".

"Where am I?" Max moved his neck, and his cervical spine made a terrifying bone fricative.

"It's almost the castle."

Turning his head, he saw Sean pressing the black book on the table with his hand.

"This is Fry's."

The residual fire burned quietly: "So, he didn't come out."

There was silence.

Max raised his hand, rubbed the back of his neck, and was speechless for a while.

Xiao En and the others suddenly felt that the depleted spiritual power in the remnant soldiers surged up like a spring.

"No, depression..." Max's hoarse voice remained steady, "Holly and Foley..."

In his hand, the chain of residual fire composed of spiritual substances is burning...

The dark red flame seems to be more vigorous than before.

"They're... still there."

The carriage slowed down and was about to arrive. After rubbing the contents of the black book into the "archive", he solemnly returned Foley's relics to Max.

Max still hasn't told about their past.

Sean still didn't plan to ask questions. On the one hand, this was a respect for his allies.

On the other hand, he knew that the answer he wanted was in that black book.

Next, as long as he takes the time to read Foley's diary, he will know the cause and effect.

The carriage stopped right in front of the castle gate, and several puppets in black formal suits walked over awkwardly and opened the door.

After getting off the carriage, Sean looked up and found that the door seemed to be parked on the central axis of the castle.

A wide marble staircase leads up to a lighted fountain, surrounded by well-maintained shrub gardens...

From the point of view of the person getting off, everything is almost perfectly symmetrical.

On the tallest tower of the castle opposite the central axis, there is an external clock.

The clock is now pointing at the position of 11:52.

Dozens of puppets are scattered on two floors, all wearing black formal or skirt suits that are completely different from the outer staff.

They clapped hands with dull faces, and the sound of trumpets in their mouths one after another:

"Welcome! Welcome to the Castle District!"

Moonlight tapped Sean's shoulder with the spiritual essence. The New Testament reporter turned his head and saw that three carriages had stopped in front of the departing carriage—

They are not the top two who arrived in the castle area, including the team of "Guardians of the Kingdom of God", and two other teams have also arrived here.

Just as they walked up the stairs without a word and walked towards the fountain and the castle with serious faces, the bell of the carriage was heard behind them.

Sean and the others stopped temporarily and turned around to see—

The two explorers got down from the carriage that had just arrived.

A man who looks a little old, wearing a mask like the face of an old tree.

Another young man with agile movements supported the old man quite carefully. The mask he was wearing had a picture of a "tower city" symbolizing knowledge.

"Deadwood Sage" and "Tacheng Apprentice".

It seems to be a master-apprentice combination of a Queen and a Jack.

They are the fifth team to arrive here.

The duo stopped when they saw Sean and the others who arrived first, and cautiously gave a face-to-face salute.

After Sean and Moonlight returned the courtesy, they continued to walk up the steps.

Walking on the platform and approaching the fountain, the moonlight suddenly saw that there seemed to be a family standing in front of the fountain——

A nearly middle-aged couple with three children stood with their backs to the sparkling fountain, a family of five with happy smiles on their faces.

A Bernese Mountain Dog in a maid's hat sat obediently beside them.

Moonlight shook his head, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that the glance just now seemed to be just an illusion.

There were only three children standing in front of the fountain.

The girl in the middle was taller than her two younger brothers, with long curly blond hair, a black dress, and a pigeon-blood ruby ​​inlaid in a bow on her head.

Standing on her left is her second brother. The second brother was wearing a pair of round-frame glasses. He was a little thin and had freckles on his face. It seemed to be a top hat wrapped around a red silk scarf to increase his height, making him look thinner.

The child held by the girl's right hand may only be five or six years old~lightnovelpub.net~ Half of his body is hiding behind his sister, and he is sucking his thumb with some vigilance. The cute thing is that he is wearing a tailored suit Tuxedo, like a shy little gentleman...

After experiencing the strange experience of the addict's home, seeing three normal-looking children, Moonlight felt more or less at ease, but when he turned his head and saw the expression of Father Taylor beside him, he couldn't help but get nervous ——

The old priest, who had always been calm and resolute, stared at the three children standing in front of him, his eyes exaggerated.

His clenched fists trembled slightly, and his breathing became unbearably heavy.

This is……?

Moonlight looked at Sean, who was also surprised, and suddenly had an answer in his heart, and his eyes suddenly turned to the three children who greeted them in front of him——

they are……

The three Dollings who have been missing for ten years?
