The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 525: puzzle

The three of them faced the somewhat empty wall, and they had temporarily forgotten the terrifying thunder marks around them.

Moonlight·1902 turned his head to look at Sean, and the explorer poker lightened up: "An empty shelf, an empty clothes hook, and the ticket that was hung up...

"What does this puzzle mean?"

On one side, Olivia Fengling pointed to the ticket, and the crimson bond made her feel in Sean's heart: "Ivan's trip to Ocean City, I remember, was kept secret?"

Sean nodded slightly: In order to avoid retaliation by the Continental Daedalus Foundation, Evan Burns kept silent about his trip to Ocean City.

Therefore, the destination of this ticket is written on the port city of Arsen in Leon, and only they know what is going on.

"That is to say..." Sean's breathing became even, "This is a puzzle specially reserved for us."

The boat ticket is a thing about us...

So, what else is there to do with us?

Sean turned his head and looked at the shelf.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, and his brows were untied.

Before he had time to explain everything to his teammates, he quickly walked out of Ivan’s room and walked up the stairs—when the martyr was there, Sean heard him mention that upstairs was the residence of Ivan’s father, Gustav Burns. Room.

Gustav Burns once disappeared because of the weird incident at the Arkham National Museum. Together with Ivan, they cracked the trap left by Kennedy and found him in the kingdom of God in Naia, "Forgotten Wasteland". The remains of his father and teammates...

It was because of this incident that Evan Burns was grateful for the help of Sean and Moonlight, and became a deep-rooted and trustworthy teammate.

It was Gustav's room that Sean was going to now.

He pushed open the door and saw the room of the "Winterwood Hunter" who had passed away long ago.

To his surprise, although the Sri Lankan had gone, Gustav's room was not dusty and moldy, and looked clean—obviously, Ivan cleaned the room regularly.

After opening the door, Sean Dickinson saw the thing on the opposite wall at a glance.

It was an old Infield rifle - something that Ewen Burns had brought back with his father's body from the Waste of Oblivion. A relic of the "Hunter of the Winterwood".

With solemn steps, Sean took off this relic that was of extraordinary significance to Ivan from the wall.

Moonlight and Olivia looked at each other behind them, and instantly understood.

The three went downstairs and returned to Ivan's room.

Sean put the old rifle on the far left shelf.

The guns were put away perfectly.

"I understand!" Moonlight behind him was a little excited, and the card vibrated quickly, "The answer to this puzzle is—experience with us!"

Ivan met Sean and others because of the incident at the Arkham National Museum. At the end of this incident, Ivan found the whereabouts of the old hunter and took back his father's rifle.

So, the item placed on the far left is the old rifle.

And the last task they performed was to go to Ocean City to rescue Aaliyah.

Therefore, hanging on the far right is the ticket related to this mission.

And if you think of this wall as a timeline...

They all looked at the coat hook in the middle in unison.

This is undoubtedly the second mission they carried out—the mission of sneaking into the Barton Manor, taking action before Kennedy, using the protection agreement to weaken the man behind the scenes, and finally hunting down Kennedy...

But what about the second quest has something to do with the coat hook?

Moonlight raised his head suddenly, just in time to meet Xiao En's eyes—the two almost remembered that thing at the same time.

Sean turned around, walked to Ivan's wardrobe, rummaged through it, and finally found the cloak that was black on the outside and red on the inside.

Before the mission at Barton Manor, in order to plant Kennedy with evil beliefs, they specially put on uniform color matching clothes...

Ivan still kept this cloak in his wardrobe.

With a solemn expression, Xiao En hung the clothes together with the wooden hangers on the clothes hook in the middle.

The father's gun, the former shirt, and the ticket to the unknown journey...

All of them are memories with Sean, Moonlight, and Olivia.

For some reason, seeing the three neatly placed items on the wall, Yueguang's nose felt a little sore.

However, before it was too late to feel sad for the friendship of his partners, runes suddenly appeared densely on the wall in front of him...

The secret technique left by Ivan!

They solved the last puzzle left by him.

A familiar spiritual power began to radiate from the wall, which was unique to Yiwen's secret technique.

In a daze, Xiao En felt that that reliable teammate seemed to be standing by his side again.

Sean knew that they were about to receive the last message left by Ivan, but he was not excited about it at all.

Under the mask, looking at the three things related to himself on the wall, Sean blinked: only we can unravel the mechanism he left behind.

He knew we would come.

Evan, what happened?

I swear, no matter what happens...

Sean's heartbeat became heavier and his eyes became sharper.

I must investigate to the end!

The energy contained in the wall suddenly swept the entire hut.

They suddenly discovered that the light outside the hut had changed.

It was still sunny just now, but at this moment, it has turned into dusk.

Before they had time to wonder about the change in the light, the three of them suddenly took a step back—

They saw Evan Burns wearing the Eye of Annihilation mask sitting at the table, studying the completed "Thunderbird Myth"...

"Ivan!" Moonlight whispered, and was about to go forward.

But Evan Burns didn't respond, all attention was on the scroll.

Sean stopped him: "This is not Ivan..."

Sean pointed to the grainy light emanating from Ivan's side.

Moonlight suddenly understood~lightnovelpub.net~ The heart that was originally pleasantly surprised sank again.

What is in front of me is just an image stored in the secret technique.

"This is the image left by Ivan..." Sean sighed slightly. Perhaps, it is the image of the last time of his life.

Considering that he might have to face Ivan's death directly in this video, Sean didn't know if he could watch it calmly, as if his heart was tightly grasped...

But he continued to watch calmly.

Outside the window, the dusk came to an abrupt end.

On the day Ivan was killed, the sun on Lake Mistani seemed to be pulled down the mountain—the thick darkness was like fog in the forest, jumping directly over the red light of the setting sun, and the thick darkness hit Ivan's window in an instant.

The sky outside the window suddenly darkened.

Ivan raised his head from the scroll, and looked out the window in doubt...
