The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 471: follow-up

"Returning Dorothy" returned to the old site of Kensington Park with a puzzled look on her face.

She, who was on duty tonight as a secret service, clearly sensed the collapse of "Midnight Paradise".

However, it happened so suddenly that she was a little unbelievable.

When she arrived at the scene, she found that the soul, which was like a malignant tumor and constantly absorbing nutrients from the lower city, had really disappeared...

The tired woman laughed out loud.

The laughter was like the cry of a crow when flying across the night sky.

She laughs and looks very happy in the deserted park full of grass...

Sean lifted his soft body out of the cooler water.

His body and mind relaxed.

"No one is following Dad and Mike..." Sean walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, walked into his room, and lay directly on the bed—there was a cup of hot water on the bedside table, "It means that they don't have a quick response mechanism for the destruction of Midnight Paradise...

"Maybe it's because they have considerable confidence in Peter Pan's rule."

The Ace class is restricted by the higher-ups so it will not intervene.

Unknowingly, Jack and Queen have no ability to resist Pan...

Pan's rule over Midnight Paradise is obviously safe and sound.

Sean knew that this was why they were so careless and didn't set up a quick response mechanism.

Sean, who was lying on the bed, began to organize the content of his previous thinking into a simple conclusion:

The most dangerous clue to track down—the three brothers and sisters of Dorins have already been escorted by Father Taylor and Mike to Rongguang City.

There is the center of the power of the divine court, and it is very difficult for the power of capital to investigate in depth.

As for uncontrollable factors, the memory of the two explorers who directly ran into Xiao En and his party escaping from Midnight Paradise at the last moment has basically been wiped out.

Sean sighed in relief: Even if the "shelters" of Midnight Paradise have superb abilities, they can't find him in a short time.

I kept deducing the investigation that the other party might conduct in my mind, from the perspective of "all the explorers who participated in the open day that night", and used cross-witness testimony to lock down the murderer who killed Peter Pan...

The explorers who arrived in the castle area to participate in the finals, except for their team and Mike, have all perished—the comatose "Guardian of the Kingdom of God" was also physically destroyed due to the collapse of the spirit world...

Therefore, Sean is not worried that what happened in the Castle District will reveal his secret.

Still, he frowned: the only thing to worry about was the eyewitness testimony in the bazaar area.

Several of them have performed very well in the game projects in the market area. As the investigation deepens, information such as "The Last Dance", "The Imperial Tuner" and the bald priest will definitely be noticed by them...

"Father Tai Luo is a member of the court, and he will stay in Rongguang City for a long time - they have no way to start an investigation from him."

Sean lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and pondered slightly:

"In the end, they will come to such a conclusion: the team composed of The Last Dancer, the Imperial Tuner and Father Taylor is the most suspect..."

Thanks to their masks, there still isn't any direct evidence pointing to him and Moonlight.

However, there are still some small loopholes...

Gradually, Sean's consciousness became blurred. Soon, he fell asleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the phone ringing.

Picking up the phone from the bedside, the voice of Arthur Merlin came from the receiver: "You guys have done a pretty remarkable thing."

Sean was about to speak back when Arthur continued, "You don't have to talk - just listen to me.

"It is conceivable that your 'feat' has also angered enemies that you can't deal with now.

"Since everything happened last night, my eyeliner has been following up their investigation, luckily...

"Your 'fake license plate' worked really well."

Arthur's speech was very fast, which made Sean a little uncomfortable when he just woke up.

However, Sean knew that the so-called "fake license plate" refers to their "mask".

"They are almost sure that it is the team led by Last Dance who did all this..."

Arthur Merlin was silent for a while, and continued: "Using their wrong conclusions, I will find a way to create a team of scapegoats, let their anger have a place to vent, and make them think that their revenge has succeeded..."

Hearing what Detective Merlin said, Sean frowned.

"You don't have to carry any moral baggage, though—these scapegoats deserve what they deserve for a number of reasons."

While talking about it, it seemed that he could understand the doubts in Sean's mind, and Merlin added: "You guys don't do anything recently—just make sure you don't show up on the streets of Xinyue.

"About a month later, wait until the weather calms down before you come out."

After Arthur Merlin hung up the phone, Sean immediately informed Moonlight 1902 through the Mystery Explorer card.

After that, he walked out of his bedroom.

Breakfast is already prepared on the table - toast, fried eggs and coffee.

Olivia is drying clothes on the balcony.

Sean sat comfortably at the dining table, opened the newspaper, and read the newspaper while enjoying breakfast.

"A month's vacation?" Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems to be good."

Four days later, a Ford car with the emblem of "Exploring Eyes" was running towards the outskirts of New York City.

Without warning, the car seemed to hit a wall of air while driving, and shrank into a ball instantly.

Flames ignited on the car, followed by a powerful explosion.

The three explorers sitting in the car—according to the later on-site investigation report, their masks were: a pair of "Last Dance" and a "Imperial Tuner", all died in this weird car accident.

The Mystic Society sent an investigative team to follow up on this strange incident.

The team found out that the three dead explorers had committed serious crimes and would serve more than 20 years in prison in the "Spiritual Network Center"; moreover, they were targeted two days before the accident...

After progressing to this point, the investigation has come to a halt, and this unsolved case has also been submerged in the ever-changing association matters...

Behind the outbreak of vicious incidents is the intensification of the internal division of the Mystery Explorers Association~lightnovelpub.net~President Phillips' position and ability have once again been severely questioned by the management.

It is rumored that Connor Phillips will no longer be able to compete with the only black joker, Vice President Nietzsche, in the chairman election in half a year.

At that time, after Frederick W. Nietzsche came to power, the line of Phillips, Merlin and Austin, who have been maintaining the association's lingering "independence", will be completely passive.

In the eyes of pessimistic explorers, that symbolizes that the Association of Mysteries will be completely reduced to a vassal of theocracy and the plutocrats of New Zealand.

The Quest industry is entering a dark age.

They also believed that the collapse of "Midnight Paradise" was the beginning of all this.

When everything is going crazy...

Sean Dickinson sits in his home, has just hung up the phone chat with Moonlight, sits at the dining table and yawns
