The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 587: reunion under the moon

On nights in early spring, the faint chirping of insects can already be heard on Long Island.

The charming smell of grass and trees at night makes the evening breeze tender and full of memories.

Now Sean Dickinson stood in the shadows outside the back door of the Long Island mansion. The figure and the shadow blend perfectly. He is now quietly waiting.

A gray three-calling nightjar was perched on a branch outside the front door of the Long Island mansion, its little jewel-like eyes illuminated by the lights still on in the garden.

With his eyes closed, Sean was using the bird's gaze to observe the front door.

This is Evan Burns' secret technique, and it is very useful for surveillance.

Sean tens of thousands did not lead his own team, not even Olivia - this counter mission, the secret is paramount.

Through the eyes of three nighthawks, he saw two of Bill's "diners" standing outside the gate of the mansion, dealing with three drunken drinkers who were dragging their feet after saying goodbye.

The twelve-piece band had finished their meal and was leaving with boxes of instruments.

A dozen servants in the mansion cleaned up the messy scene expressionlessly—they seemed to be quite proficient at this, the wind was blowing under their feet, the routes were weaving, and the speed of cleaning up was amazing.

The latest "Bill's Party" is over. As if the heat had been pushed too high just now, the desolation and depression returned to this place more clearly at this moment.

High up in the mansion, lights were on in the most central room—as before, after the party, Bill was listening to a symphony played on a vinyl record player while enjoying a hot, slightly drunken bath. And his two Quest bodyguards were waiting outside the bathroom...

it's time.

The shadow behind the door opened its eyes, and the stars in the sea tide were covered by clouds and mist.

Night Breeze's faith had a very clear effect on him, and he was like a part of Night. The night wind blew against the courtyard wall, and Sean walked into the deserted, dark, deserted lawn in the backyard.

One step, one step... Approaching the mansion, Sean was thinking about his counter plan—

In order to achieve the warning effect, Sean specially used some divine power quotas these days to create the third horror work with the scarlet pen.

The work was inspired by a recent trip to the north.

In that story, a man who has experienced horror is trapped in a winter forest with no escape, and hungry beasts are everywhere, and even a towering hungry and raging deity is rounding him up...

It's enough to inspire your deepest fears.

Sean intends to project the light of the red sun onto Bill's soul, dye his eyes scarlet, and let him escape endlessly in the cold, hunger and extreme fear under the pursuit of Wendigo hide…

Of course, he will precisely control the dosage. Make sure Bill doesn't get scared to death by the power of Two Suns or drive permanently insane ever since.

He wanted to make sure that Bill couldn't step out of the front door because of fear for a month, and he wanted to make sure that Bill never dared to confront Sean Dickinson from now on...

In this way, his plan to seduce Ms. Taro will fail, and the revenge drama between them will end there.

Thinking of this, Xiao En walked step by step towards the mansion where the lights gradually went out.

However, what Xiao En didn't expect was that under the hazy moonlight, he saw a figure walking out from behind the bushes in front of him.

The man was wearing a white silk shirt, which, like the dark blue jeans on his lower body, outlined a perfect and proud curve.

The hair is illuminated by the moonlight, reflecting a metallic luster.

She had one hand on her hip, and the other hand drooped naturally, standing in front of Sean without much emotion, or hiding all kinds of emotions.

Neither the moon nor she spoke. She wears a golden opera mask on her face, which seems to symbolize a dazzling era—the "Golden Queen", a King-level mask for actresses.

Nightingale became queen.

"Cathy..." Sean called Catherine that way for the first time, and blurted out a little strangely, but it felt natural after saying it, "You've been promoted."

Catherine stood in front of Sean unenthusiastically, nodded slightly: "Yes—it happened two weeks ago."

Meeting Catherine at this time made Sean a little confused: "What are you doing here?"

Catherine took a breath, then sighed—Sean couldn't read her emotion: "What are you doing here again?"

Uh - I'm going to frame Long Island Bill. Can you answer like this? Sean thought dumbfoundedly.

Before he could speak, the actress whom he hadn't seen for a long time said, "Xiao, I know what you're here for...

"What I want to tell you is that no matter what relationship you have, don't shoot him."

Sean looked at each other with some surprise. He often thinks of her, and knows that he will meet her again sooner or later. But she didn't expect that when they met again, she would actually obstruct her own affairs.

"Why?" Something was "rolling" in Sean's heart, as if the water was about to boil, his heart was burning hot.

Catherine's tone couldn't hear any softness or warmth: "If I could tell you, I would tell you, wouldn't I?"

Again.

Catherine was always giving herself bad advice. It is undeniable that those suggestions have saved themselves.

But this time... she actually protected that Bill?

"I've already investigated him. I can take care of the rest." Sean's voice had to turn cold.

"I'm not talking about those things, not that you're going to get in trouble..." Catherine said. "You really can't touch Bill right now."

The water boiled and it was hot. Sean frowned: "Why do you want to protect this man?"

She could hear the anger behind Sean's strange question, and her previously indifferent eyes turned into astonishment.

She blinked, as if she wanted to shake off the hesitation, and looked away: "Don't say such stupid things."

She knew Sean would listen to her. She also knew that there was nothing she could explain today. So she chose to walk outside.

Passing Sean, the pace is fast.

He took a deep breath, and he didn't expect that he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

It wasn't just because he couldn't punish Bill that he was so angry.

Sean felt a little ridiculous at the moment, what he wanted to say to her when he met her again - he must talk about that moment in the tavern where he blushed and his heart beat.

But I didn't expect it to be such a scene. It was clearly under the moonlight, but the two talked coldly about the entangled matter. He didn't like her attitude at the moment.

I don't know what else to say, but I just want to keep her.

Catherine turned her head.

Xiao En originally thought that he would face the accusation of this former "mentor" again~lightnovelpub.net~ He didn't expect that what he saw was a pair of twinkling eyes and a somewhat helpless expression.

He could see that she was blaming herself, and obviously wanted to say something but couldn't.

He had never imagined that a woman like Catherine would show such an expression.

Sean suddenly understood—

A woman would never show that look to someone who doesn't care.

The anger subsided in an instant. He was even a little ashamed of his anger.

He let go of his grip on her wrist: "I just don't want to go." As if promising someone close.

Katherine Haley blinked, feeling a slight pain in her wrist, a little discouraged that she hadn't gotten mad at it.

She didn't say anything, and walked into the darkness step by step.
