After seeing the scene behind him, Sean's blood ran cold: "I was deceived by a resentful spirit!"
He turned back and looked directly at the true appearance of the resentful spirit. According to the rules of the spirit world, Sean's soul will be taken away by the resentful spirit and become a part of the collective of resentful spirits forever.
Catherine had no choice but to let go of his hand and rush into the fog alone.
Behind Sean, a collection of resentful spirits surged up like a tide, transforming into a huge mouth and swallowing up Sean's figure...
Sean felt as if he was in the center of a storm, with countless shrill wails ringing in his ears. He even saw some illusions - the celebration team walked forward happily, and the huge wine bottle-shaped flower basket exploded, releasing a wave of Corrosive poisonous gas.
The cheerful team suddenly let out panic screams. Some people's faces were ulcerated due to the corrosive gas, and they were screaming and scratching in the crowd...
The sound of the band was too loud, and people outside woke up very slowly. While some people were screaming and pushing, others stretched their heads to look inside.
People who were injured by the gas fell directly to the ground, and those who had not yet been poisoned began to flee desperately. The crowded crowd screamed and stamped in panic, and the number of deaths increased...
Amid the tide of resentful spirits, Sean felt like the world was spinning, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
Under the powerful impact, a palm-sized symbol appeared in his body. The symbol was like a strange-shaped candlestick or some kind of ancient ceremonial weapon. It glowed faintly and firmly fixed the soul in Xiaon's body, even if it was The impact of the resentful spirits failed to take away his soul.
Sean didn't know what was happening, he rushed into the thick fog regardless. As if he was plunging into the water, the screams of the resentful spirits behind him became chaotic and unclear.
The thick fog was as thick as water. Not only could Sean not be able to see what was close at hand, he even found it difficult to breathe. He could only move forward based on his feelings.
"Beep! Beep!" Suddenly, the dazzling light of the car lights flashed in front of his eyes. The driver turned the steering wheel sharply to avoid Sean, who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, leaving behind a string of curses.
It was raining continuously, and the colors of the real world seemed much more depressed and heavy than the fantasy scene of the past. On the cold street, people looked at Sean who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
Not far away, Catherine discovered that Sean had actually walked out of the spirit world, and her face, which had returned to normal, showed surprise: "How come you weren't captured by the resentful spirit?!"
"I don't know..." Before Sean could finish his words, Catherine pulled him towards the sidewalk and said, "The rules of the spirit world are extremely powerful. You turned back and looked directly at the body of the resentful spirit, unless you are a 'King' Explorers above the level should have become members of the wraiths at this time..."
Sean was confused at this moment. Catherine carefully discerned Sean's micro-expressions - she was an explorer with the function of "actor" in the "artist" pedigree, and could easily see through other people's acting skills. She saw that Sean was indeed the same. Not knowing anything, Xiu Mu couldn't help but feel a little lost: "This is unreasonable..."
They were back on the sidewalk now. Thinking of what happened in the spirit world, Catherine pointed at Sean angrily: "Did I tell you not to look back?!"
Under the streetlight, Catherine's blue eyes widened, and her red lips pursed into a serious line.
Sean, who had always been a little confused, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "But, you just became very evil!"
"That's an illusion cast on me by the will of the spirit world, an illusion!" In order to save an ordinary person who accidentally entered the spirit world, not only did her mission not be completed, but she almost lost her life. As a professional explorer, Catherine was extremely angry. .
Looking at Sean's confused expression, she realized that it was impossible for an ordinary person to face the strange power without being confused, and her anger subsided a little. She let go of her hand and tried to keep her mood and tone calm: "Be careful in New Testament City, weird things happen here all the time!"
She patted her clothes and straightened her appearance a little: "I have other things to do, so I'll leave first.
"Don't tell anyone that you haven't been soul-robbed. Then, I am an employee of Guling Quest Company. I suggest that you come to me later. What happened to you is very rare. It is best not to ignore it. .”
After the mysterious symbol in Sean's body was activated, it has always existed. He looked inward and nodded.
Catherine left a look that said, "I'm doing it for myself." She turned around and left, blending into the cold night rain and the crowd.
Sean stood a little numbly on the street in the drizzle, feeling that what he had just experienced was like a nightmare.
"Is this Newlandel where weirdness prevails? This happened on the first night after arriving?
"If I knew it was so dangerous here, I would never have agreed to let Aaliya come here alone."
Sean took out a mechanical pocket watch specially selected for this trip and clicked it open. On one side was the surface, with the hands pointing to eight-fifteen; on the other side was the inside of the watch cover, with a black and white photo on it. The woman in the photo was about to The long brown braids were tied behind her head, restraining her original youthful and playful aura, showing her dignified and quiet side.
"Aaliyah..." Sean murmured in his heart as he looked at Aaliyah's smiling eyes in the photo.
This pocket watch with Aaliyah's photo was given to him by his sister.
"Wherever you go, never forget your family; wherever you go, never forget your conscience." Sean remembered that on the white birthday card that came with the watch, there were two sentences written in Aaliyajuan's beautiful font.
Thinking of all the times his family spent together, Sean couldn't help but smile in the light rain. But that smile quickly faded.
A month ago, Aaliyah, who is famous for her poetry writing, received an invitation letter from the New Lander Poetry Association, inviting her to visit and communicate with the association. Aaliyah, who had never been abroad, yearned for New Zealand, a country with many outstanding poets. However, her family members had their own affairs at the time. In order to ensure the safety of her journey, Sean asked a friend to accompany her, but that friend suddenly died before departure. Aaliyah, who had a high fever and had already bought a boat ticket, could only embark on this exotic journey alone.
After all, New Landal is a country ruled by law. It is not a dangerous journey for an adult woman to go there.
Therefore, although Aaliyah went alone, Sean was not overly worried. I even think that this kind of traveling alone can temper my sister who has never traveled far.
For safety reasons, Sean asked her to send a telegram home every three days summarizing her journey. A few days before arriving, I received telegrams from Aaliyah, but five days later, there was suddenly no news from my sister who was traveling far away.
The feeling of waiting for the news was extremely painful. Sean couldn't sit still any longer, so he dropped what he was doing, booked a boat ticket, and rushed to New Landal. When he arrived, Arya had been out of touch for ten days.
The longer one goes without hearing from someone, the more unsettling it becomes.
Before, Sean only guessed that Aaliyah had encountered some trouble. After he encountered the danger just now, he was almost certain.
"The taxi driver who led me into the 'spiritual world' came specially to pick me up."
George's words rang in Sean's mind: "What are you here for? Are you here to discuss business?"
"He tricked me out and confirmed that I was the unlucky guy who came to find my sister."
"Then, he introduced me into the 'spiritual world' on Central Avenue...Such a thorough and vicious plan was by no means a spur-of-the-moment plan, and it was definitely not something ordinary people could accomplish.
"They are probably an organization. An organization with mysterious power, strong intelligence capabilities, and ruthless behavior!
"What does this organization have to do with Aaliyah's disappearance? Did they kidnap Aaliyah?"
"Why do they want to get rid of me? What threat do I pose to them?"
…
There is no answer.
If you continue to think about it, there will only be a fog ahead.
With an uneasy feeling filling his heart, Sean could only look inside at the candlestick-shaped symbol that allowed him to escape from the "spiritual world".
It is silent now, but it still emits a glimmer of light, making him feel peaceful. "It is this power that keeps my soul...but I can feel that under that kind of fierce impact, this symbol cannot last long." The ground stabilizes my soul. Fortunately, I rushed into the thick fog immediately because of panic. Otherwise, I would still inevitably end up losing my soul..."
Sean realizes that to protect himself and find Aaliyah, he can only rely on this mysterious symbol of temporarily unknown origin.
"What is this? Why is it in my body? Why can it stabilize my soul? Is its existence the reason why that organization attacked me?" Sean looked at its details repeatedly, and the faint light reflected own soul.
But the answer remains shrouded in mystery.
"Knowledge, I need more knowledge!" Sean has never been so eager for mysterious knowledge.
A huge threat, but also a huge motivation!
Catherine's last look flashed before Sean's eyes: "Questor, Guling Quest Company..." He knew that if he wanted to enter that mysterious world and gain further knowledge, he would definitely go to Guling Quest Company in the future.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the door of the hotel I had booked before. Convinced that no one was following him at this time, he walked into the hotel lobby.
