The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 477: "Haunted" Farm

After all, it was just a Jack-level mission. Sean quickly found the crux and broke into the cursed farm.

He found the body of the missing Morpheus Dawson on the farm where weeds had overgrown and everything was covered with a thin layer of ash.

"This poor man," Sean looked at the corpse wearing a straw hat that hadn't completely decayed yet, and thought with pity, "he dug this thing out of the ground..."

At this moment, Sean was holding an ancient pottery statue in his hand.

The pottery statue has the characteristics of the ancient civilization of Beidelzhou. It is the image of a man with a serious expression and wearing various jewelry. He's making a crossed-fingers gesture.

That gesture, in the Quebec voodoo system, symbolizes "lost way".

"Lost pottery statue." Sean felt the power it exudes, enough to make ordinary people lose their way forever.

This is a C-class mysterious heritage that was unintentionally inspired.

According to Sean's speculation, this pottery statue was once made by a witch doctor of a certain Quebec tribe, perhaps to confuse hostile tribes, and was later buried in Dawson's farm land for various reasons.

And poor Murphys Dawson accidentally dug out this pottery statue, activated the power of getting lost in it, and was permanently trapped in this farm and woodland.

"So, his nephew Louie got lost in the woods too...

"Fortunately, Louis was smart and vigilant enough to choose to leave before getting too deep."

Afterwards, Sean properly put away the temporarily closed lost pottery statue, took Murphys Dawson's body, and drove to find the publisher of the mission, Louis Dawson.

Apparently, this muscular young man with red hair was greatly surprised and even visibly terrified by his uncle's death.

Sean could understand his fear, after all, no ordinary person would want to be tainted by mysterious events.

After cooperating with the education officer and the embalming agency to properly arrange Murphy's body, Louis Dawson nervously asked repeatedly about the strange source of the farm.

This caught Sean's attention, and Sean wearing the "silent secretary" asked in detail: "You seem to be very nervous about the weird situation on the farm, why is that?"

At this moment, they were at Louis Dawson's home. Obviously, this young man from a decent family was quite uncomfortable at the moment: "Oh, it's like this—Aunt has passed away for a long time, and Uncle Murphys has no children. After he passed away, Title to that farm is mine..."

Having said that, he swallowed, his face and lips turned pale: "I don't know what this means, is it that the **** curse on the **** farm will haunt me?"

Thinking that one day you might get lost forever for no reason, and end up dying in a place where no one can find you...

This made him terrified to the point of restlessness.

Although Sean patiently persuaded that the source of the weirdness has been controlled, Louis is still as sensitive to haunted things as other ordinary people-they have a kind of "phobia"-like excessive fear of places where mysterious outbreaks have taken place .

"No," Louis Dawson stood up abruptly, "I want to sell that farm!"

Well... Sean sighed lightly: At first, he wanted to ask Louis about the situation of Murphys' children, so that he could find a way to buy the farm later.

Based on his aversion to haunted lands, Sean believed that the purchase process would go very smoothly—he knew that any ordinary person would be eager to get rid of such an ominous land as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't expect was that the first heir to the farm was right in front of his eyes, and he even said in a dramatic way in front of his face that he wanted to sell the farm.

"Uh..." Sean thought to himself, "Maybe he wanted to tell the secret seekers deliberately, to test whether I have a suitable channel."

Sean Dickinson had no choice but to cooperate with Louis' statement, and said slowly: "If you really want to transfer this cursed land, I can recommend someone."

Due to the fear of mystery, the news of the haunted place will always seem to have wings, and it can spread throughout the entire New Testament City in an instant.

After Murphys' body was taken from the farm and coffined, no one would ever visit that farm, let alone take over...

Louis knew this very well, and secretly feared that the farm would not be able to change hands.

Therefore, when he heard that the explorer in front of him had a connection, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Facing the agitated seller, Sean seemed very calm, and he said slowly: "As the executor of this task, I cannot directly recommend that buyer—however, I will recommend someone to contact you, and she will be in charge. The middleman, you can discuss the specific conditions by yourself.

"However, this buyer has one request."

"any request?"

"You keep the transaction confidential."

Louis, who wished he could sell the farm that day, agreed to the condition of secrecy without any hesitation—after all, not mentioning a word would have no impact on him, and the land that had already been sold did not need to be sold again.

After all, as long as he is no longer the real owner, he doesn't have to worry about that terrible curse coming to him.

The next day, Sean put on the broken Vivienne necklace, turned into the lady, put on his sister's clothes, and called himself Elaine Hayley (Sean arranged an identity for her—Catherine's Distant relative), as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of land between Louis Dawson and Mr. "Shawshank Rogers".

Shawshank Rogers is one of the two "stage roles" Sean finalized.

It is also one of the "agents" that Sean should create in Arthur Merlin's hidden suggestion.

Shawshank Rogers is a mysterious figure. He seems to have inherited a new belief and is committed to creating and revitalizing a religion that is almost forgotten by people. He acts cautiously and secretly, and it is difficult for people to see his true face.

In Sean's plan, he will create two agent characters, one is "light" and the other is "shadow".

And Shawshank is the "shadow" among them-he will create a secret religion and walk in the dark world that never sees the sun.

Sean even designed a complete set of identification and tax records for this mysterious figure through the unique authority of the Queen level...

It can be described as a perfect substitute.

In this way, Sean bought the farm that Louis Dawson had just acquired.

A whole 42 New Zealand acres of land, plus houses, warehouses, fences, items and mechanical equipment on it, the packaged price is only 5,500 New Zealand dollars...

This price is only one-third of its actual value.

It was hard for Sean not to admit that he picked up a bargain.

However, Sean didn't feel too much guilt about acquiring this land at a low price—after all, as a mystery seeker, he had already conveyed the message that "the source of the evil has been cleared" well...

I was always worried, and insisted that there would still be haunted there, and I was even afraid that the curse would come to the door...

It was Mr. Dawson himself~lightnovelpub.net~ Sean just helped the other party solve a huge ideological burden, and harvested a secret land by the way.

After completing such a big move, Sean informed Moonlight of his progress...

After the pianist heard that Sean spent more than 5,000 New Zealand dollars to buy an entire farm, he showed a very surprised expression:

"Sean, didn't you say you wanted to start a newspaper?!"

Thinking that the golden statue has been converted into currency, Xiao En's 10,000 yuan deposit plan was half completed in an instant, and he was getting closer and closer to opening a newspaper office. Moonlight was still happy for his friend, but he didn't expect to hear such news.

He stood up immediately, thinking Sean had gone crazy.

Mr. Dickinson took a sip of tea, slowed down his speech, and said leisurely, "Moonlight, don't worry, let me tell you my plan slowly..."
