The strongest mystery explorer officially recognized by the association, Red Joker (monster card) - "Mr. Roland to the Black Tower".

According to legend, he killed a minority belief with only one bullet.

Even a wandering **** would never want to be pointed at by his black revolver.

He is the only human who has been to the "Black Tower" and returned.

The only one who treasures that rose.

"That is to say," Sean obviously couldn't ask this question, so he could only try his best to ponder what Arthur Merlin said, "Red Joker is on the side of the president. However, for some reason, he wandered around Since the other worldlines didn't come back...

"Once he can return to the New Covenant, maybe Chairman Phillips' disadvantage can be reversed?"

That should be the case, right?

Sean didn't intend to worry too much about these near-top entanglements—he just wanted to make sure he could stand his ground in this growing storm.

"Another thing is more important than rewards—" the president clasped his hands and continued, "I hope you can fully hide yourself in the future."

Sean and Moonlight exchanged glances, and looked at the president with some incomprehension.

The old man with the pocket watch continued: "I have to say, I appreciate your prudence so far—

"If you hadn't carefully concealed your true identities, we probably wouldn't have been able to resolve the anger from... those characters so easily."

Sean understood what the president meant.

As he had guessed before, whoever killed Peter Pan and destroyed Midnight Paradise would be retaliated by its "protector".

And Sean's concealment really worked, because almost all the clues left by him were interrupted, leaving enough space for the people in the Phillips camp to mislead the Spear of Revenge...

Some people died because of this, but it also allowed Xiao En, Yueguang and others to escape from the crisis of destruction, and completely severed their relationship with this incident.

"Our suggestion is—since you have caused a lot of trouble until now, but you have not revealed your true identity...

"Simply, you just sink to the bottom and hide your true identity forever."

Arthur Merlin, Dorothy, and Austin all stared at Sean and the others, obviously, this was their common suggestion.

Dorothy clicked her tongue lightly, pointing to her face with smoky makeup, she said regretfully: "I only know the benefits of wearing a mask now—it's a pity that my face has become famous a long time ago, otherwise I would And be the kind of person who can't be traced."

Arthur Merlin also smiled bitterly.

Fame is never necessarily a good thing.

It may be rewarding, but too much attention can be disastrous...

Especially for explorers.

"So," the president spread his hands, "do you understand my suggestion?"

Sean and Moonlight both nodded: they had already discussed the idea of ​​forging identities, completely hiding themselves, and completely separating the life of exploring secrets from their daily identities...

Otherwise, they would not have risked being held accountable and appeared in Midnight Paradise wearing masks that did not belong to them.

Not only that, but even today they rushed to the Explorer Center, discussing this issue in the car: In order to ensure safety, they need to hide deeper.

Phillips knew that the two young explorers he was facing were quite smart, not only did he not need to waste his time talking, it was obvious that what he said had already been thought over and over by them.

It's just that there's clearly a lack of direction.

"In order to completely hide your identities," the president continued, "I have made some arrangements."

Austin handed a letter paper with the president's wax seal to Sean, and after unwrapping it, some spiritual handwriting was written on the paper with the "Eye of Mystery" fluorescent mark:

"First, the true identities of Sea of ​​Shimmer and Soloists under the Moon will be classified as confidential, and even the president level will not be allowed to view them;

Second, the plan to hide the true identities of Sea of ​​Shimmer and Soloists under the Moon will be a routine task of the Risk Control Department of the association;

Third, the team led by Shimmering Sea will not be held accountable by the association for wearing false masks during missions. They can apply for temporary loan of masks of the same level from the first leader of the risk control department, but they must ensure that they are returned after the mission;

…

Then came a few less important details.

After Xiao En finished reading, the spiritual handwriting burned by itself, and the fluorescent mark of the Eye of Mystery also faded away, and a piece of ciphertext instantly turned into a piece of blank paper.

He raised his head in shock: Not only did he put his and others' true identities under absolute protection, but he also allowed to borrow a genuine mask of the same level?

Although there is no reference, Sean believes that this is definitely a terrifying privilege!

"These privileges are just one aspect..." Connor Phillips continued, "On the other hand, there are some specific implementation suggestions, which Mr. Merlin will tell you..."

…

Sean and Moonlight were still a little shocked until they left the president's office.

Seemingly inspired by his previous "covert actions", Chairman Phillips insisted on making his own force invisible.

And the request he made was not harsh in Sean's opinion—

Join the camp of "independence faction" and support the current chairman's path of "not being subordinate to any force and maintaining the relative independence of the association".

Sean, before joining this camp, had already naturally sided with Phillips.

First of all, at the end of the day, Sean is a member of the Candlelight Book Club, so he must be on the same side as Arthur Merlin, who has always supported Connor Phillips.

Secondly, Sean couldn't agree with what some social elites did to the "lower city", and that group obviously manipulated the "conformists" in the association headed by Nietzsche.

Sean destroyed Midnight Paradise and unsealed the imprisoned Lower City. Before he chose to side with Phillips, he had already entered the hostile camp of "those people".

The reason why I can see the president today is partly because of their reckless "benevolence", and partly because Phillips and others who have been paying attention to themselves have finally recognized their strength and influence and have reached the point of meeting and discussing matters. threshold of...

This is a preordained meeting.

And the practical "concealment method" that Arthur Merlin just described was a great inspiration to Sean.

Originally, there was no systematic thought about the matter of "hiding oneself", but now, Sean already had a basic line of thought.

Next, he will combine his previous long-term goals—starting a newspaper, becoming an influential figure in the media industry, and growing into a higher-level secret explorer—to lay out his "hidden plan".

"Sean Dickinson" will continue to live inconspicuously as a small reporter with an underground background living in New Testament~lightnovelpub.net~ And what he is about to unfold seems to part ways but actually The two magnificent lives that are secretly connected will start with different images and names.

"I'm just a reporter who works hard and wants to earn more money...Media tycoons and powerful secret explorers have nothing to do with me."

Sean realizes that what he is about to do matches inexplicably with the resources he has now—like stepping into a gold mine after getting a pickaxe, and writing a report after being given a typewriter...

Once again confirmed the "simultaneity principle" that Mr. Jung said.

Everything is so timely...

For some inexplicable reason, he couldn't wait to move on to the next step—

At this moment, Sean was driving, with the moonlight, heading for the deserted suburbs.

He wanted to unseal the "ball of light" he got after killing Peter Pan.
