The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 583: Brooklyn Bridge Station

Using some kind of special breathing technique, Evan Burns recovered part of his spiritual power.

He interlaced his palms, and a huge gray dove—"One Eye"—appeared in his hands as if by magic.

Sean had seen this creature before, and it was this faithful companion that Ivan summoned in order to track down the fleeing Kennedy.

Yiwen's electronic eyes were full of brilliance, and he was copying the route he had just confirmed in the spiritual power world in an instant.

The white cloth covering the head of the gray pigeon and the eye rune painted on it showed the same color.

A moment later, Ivan shook his arms lightly, and flew out of the skylight with one eye flapping his wings.

The Mystery Explorer and his party also came directly to the street from the skylight, quickly boarded the car, and followed the gray pigeon through the street under Ivan's command.

It is not so easy to keep up with the pigeons that have been flying in the sky.

The situation was urgent, and Sean Dickinson could no longer obey the traffic rules. Even though the intersection showed a red light, he did not let go of the accelerator.

However, the miracle is that even though the Mercedes-Benz was shuttling so fast in the dense traffic, the Ford driven by Sean didn't scratch anything.

It's because while driving, he has already expanded his psychic energy to a distance of twenty meters. He can perceive all the dynamics around him through the spiritual matter, supplemented by the precise prediction ability trained in the exploration activities, even without the guidance of traffic lights, he can skillfully avoid all collisions.

In the eyes of non-explorers, this is simply a miracle.

After finally driving out of the heavy traffic area, Sean had a great time running on the road with almost no traffic.

At this time, he can finally spare some energy and think about the ins and outs of the matter.

The current situation is obvious: someone wants to attack his newspaper office through mysterious means.

The original plan was to use "Herota's Messenger" to create a tragic death of an employee.

Then let the "Lighthouse Evening News" sell a newspaper printed with the blood of its own employees...

If this incident really happened, and supplemented by the publicity of the surrounding newspapers, the newspaper might be finished.

Fortunately, Trevor, the printing team leader, discovered the problem and tried his best to minimize the bad influence.

Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Then the question emerges: who might be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Sean thought about it carefully, but couldn't confirm the target.

One of the most likely obstacles is the fired former editor-in-chief Ryan.

But Sean can be sure that Ryan will not be able to please such a powerful Queen.

It should be a more powerful predator...

However, whether it is the "Sun" or "New Testament Times", it stands to reason that their biggest competitor is not themselves, so there is no need to deal with a small newspaper with such dirty and vicious means...

After thinking about it, Sean still couldn't think of a possible candidate.

I can only grab the Queen and ask things clearly.

"Here we are." Ivan saw One Eye stop on an iron road sign. The road sign is a green arrow with the word "metro" written on it.

Sean slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road—after getting out, Moonlight realized they were at the west end of the Brooklyn Bridge.

As night fell, the lights on this steel bridge dotted the deep blue night sky.

"It's in this subway station..." Ivan stared at the entrance, a brown paper bag was blown by the wind, and there was no one on the street.

In the subway station? But at this time, the subway has been suspended...

Xiao En and the others exchanged glances, and basically understood the current situation: the other party already knew that he was being traced, so he entered a hidden place, waiting for the person who came to pursue him.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he set a trap.

The opponent is a top Queen class, maybe even a Queen class team...

Sean narrowed his eyes: In other words, the strength of the opponent is similar to his own.

It is no longer a situation where you can easily deal with it, but you can rest assured to let other teammates train.

There is real danger waiting ahead.

Sean arranged for Olivia Fengling to guard the hidden place outside the subway station, and then he walked ahead, leading Moonlight and Ivan into the "Brooklyn Bridge Subway Station".

Going down the steps and turning the corner, they saw an old black man in a dirty overcoat with gray hair, wrapped in newspapers glued together somehow, curled up sleeping in a corner.

Continuing down, they came to the subway platform, where only faint lights were on.

The subway tunnels on both sides are dark, as if they are the entrance to the underworld.

Before Sean and his party took a few steps, they saw a strange scene in front of them——

A skeleton with a ghostly color is suspended in the air in front of it. The skull was engraved with strange runes.

The skeleton floated out of the darkness, and only then did Sean see clearly that he had a body, and he was covered with a cloak of black feathers...

"Revenant of the Dead", a Queen-level mystery explorer.

Looking at the inscription engraved on his face only up to the left cheekbone, Xiao En suddenly realized that he had seen this agent of the dead before him.

In the duck hunting game in Midnight Paradise.

He was one of the last survivors in the game, unfortunately he was hit by others, but he lost part of the inscription on his face and was able to leave the game and escape...

A mystery seeker who has strange means and is quite powerful because he is quite powerful.

Not only that, Sean also saw a mystery seeker standing behind the agent of the undead.

It was a mask made of miscellaneous silver. The executioner on the mask had no expression on his face. He was wearing a dark red leather jacket with leather straps, and he was carrying a huge coffin—the Executioner of the Holy Night.

Sean inhaled lightly through his nose: two strong Queens.

The agent spoke, and the rhythm of his voice was very strange, as if he was singing some kind of underworld ballad in a low voice: "It seems that the newspaper owner's financial strength is quite good - he can actually recruit the 'famous' Shimmer Sea team."

When he said "big name", his accent was a bit strange. It seems to be acknowledging that the explorer in front of him does have a certain reputation, but he has absolutely comparable strength, so the reputation of the other party has become a symbol of some kind of vanity.

"I thought my methods were more than enough to deal with a small newspaper, but I didn't expect not only to be broken, but also to be tracked down...

"However, I was relieved when I saw that it was the sea of ​​twilight."

Sean's voice sounded behind the tide: "Why are you dealing with that newspaper?"

The agent of the undead shrugged his shoulders: "It is entrusted by others. It is impossible for people like us to have any personal enmity with ordinary people..."

Before Sean could speak, the skeleton face continued: "Then, since I was tracked by you, I will lose this round.

"My proposal is that we resolve this awkward meeting according to industry rules.

"I will provide a C-level inheritance or New Zealand dollars of equivalent value as your 'trophy', and then we will create the 'evil' who committed the crime together..."

Sean didn't answer right away, and paused for a moment. In the silence, one could hear the hissing sound of a lamp voltage being unstable.

"I agree to resolve it peacefully." Sean said, "However, my client already knows that there are explorers targeting him, and his request is to find out who did it.

"My work ethic does not allow me to fool him with this request.

"I don't need any loot, but I can't forge an evil. I ask you to tell me who your client is."

The agent of the undead fell silent. But he didn't seem to be considering Sean's proposal, but was reading the atmosphere: "Friend, you and I are colleagues, you know that I can't name my client in this situation~lightnovelpub.net~ and offer him Coming out is a big taboo in this kind of work, you should know that, right?"

Hire secret explorers to frame your enemies. If the hirer's information is exposed, it will inevitably lead to terrible disasters.

The representative may not be a noble person, but at least he knows that he cannot betray his customers.

As if to put pressure on Xiao En, the person in front of him showed his dark chess.

In the darkness behind the three of Sean, two more masks emerged.

One is the brass owl "Sleepless Midnight" and the other is the face of "Styx Coin Picker" wrapped in runic bandages.

Sean can now be sure that what awaits them is indeed a Queen-level team.

And all four of them are strong in this level.

What he was facing was a team with similar strength to himself...
