"I am the man with Aaliyah at Mr. Bill's party.
"Mr. Sean, I have to say that you left a deep impression on me..."
Sean interrupted: "Where is Aaliyah?!"
The man on the other side of the phone seemed not to have heard Sean's words and continued: "...I thought you would die just like that, or leave New Zealand out of fear - it seems that I underestimated your stupidity and arrogance.
“You remind me of a cockroach in the kitchen—poor, weak, but always lingering.”
"You must be thinking, who are we? Why did we take Aaliya away..."
Even if the other person is deliberately irritating him, Sean's communication instinct still works - he senses that the other person's continuous talk has a purpose.
After becoming wary, Sean could vaguely hear a very subtle, very low voice on the phone besides the man's voice. The voice was easily ignored, and if Sean had focused on what the man was saying, he would never have been able to distinguish it. The voice seemed to be whispering some extremely evil and blasphemous language.
Sean already has basic occult knowledge. He knows that there are some special spells that will take effect as long as the victim hears them - the other party is casting a spell on himself over the phone!
Sean said simply: "Such tricks are useless." Then he quickly put down the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Sean picked up the holy water at hand, activated the candlestick symbol, and swept the ectoplasmic tentacles around to check. Of course, he did not forget to check his own body.
After finding nothing unusual, Sean breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I discovered the other party's plan in time... If I didn't have any occult knowledge, I would have thought this was an opportunity to trick him out, and then I would have been on the phone with him for a long time. Zhou Xuan... In that case, I will finish listening to that evil spell, and it will not be difficult to imagine what will happen after that!"
Sean was very satisfied with his quick response: "Not only that, in the last sentence, I hinted to the other party that I understand mysterious knowledge. This may make him afraid..."
An originally fatal phone call was calmly resolved by Sean. He deeply felt what "knowledge changes destiny" means.
At night, after making sure no more calls would come in, Sean started meditating and dispelling the scarlet of the Witch Moon.
"I must assimilate this crescent symbol as soon as possible. The 'candlestick' has already strengthened my soul, allowing me to release ectoplasm, and also has extraordinary memory. After assimilating this crescent symbol, there will definitely be more benefits .”
Sean is also becoming more and more skilled in meditation. He can quickly enter a meditative state, making the symbols shine even more powerfully.
Soon, the scarlet of Witch Moon was completely dispelled. The candlesticks seem to have finally connected to the newly added small symbol, and the color of the Witch's Moon is unified with the entire symbol.
Sean devoted his attention to it, fully feeling it...
"Huh... the solidification ability of the spiritual tentacles has been stabilized." He stretched out a tentacle, injecting a solid feeling, and then used the tentacles to pick up the cup in the distance from a few meters away.
If an ordinary person saw this scene - a cup floating in the air for no reason, they would definitely think it was haunted!
"There are two other feelings..." Sean distinguished carefully.
One is a more intense and sharp feeling. After Sean injected the spiritual essence, the ends of the tentacles were suddenly as sharp as blades, and the originally soft blue color was stained with an evil rust.
Sean immediately thought of the "vicious claws" wielded by the corpse of the witch when it attacked him.
This rusty sharp knife obviously has a "vicious" attribute.
He tried to use the "sharp knife" to stab into the wall. The sharp edge easily penetrated the concrete wall, leaving a "rust" representing vicious attributes on the edge of the punctured hole...
"Vicious puncture?" Sean stared at the deep marks he made on the wall with his ectoplasm. "It feels like it will do more damage to living creatures. However, this kind of penetration can also kill evil creatures. "
Although this attack method is quite powerful, Sean clearly felt a sense of resentment in his heart when using it: "Vicious puncture should have an adverse effect on the user's mind. Repeated use may cause people to fall into an uncontrollable state." Manic.”
There was also a soft feeling, which Sean tried to permeate in the ectoplasm.
Soon, the texture of the spiritual essence changed, as if it turned into a shining green mist...
Sean suddenly discovered that the wound on his left arm that was immersed in the green mist was healing rapidly. Sean also felt something in his heart: "This is another ability brought by the Witch Moon. It can be called 'Elixir Mist' can heal the wounds of living creatures and has a certain detoxification effect...
"However, healing consumes a lot of spiritual power. In the current situation where spiritual power is limited, we must use it sparingly. If the spiritual power is overdrawn and loses consciousness in a dangerous place, it will be over."
"Vicious Puncture" and "Elixir Mist", after assimilating to Witch Moon, Sean's ectoplasm gained two abilities.
"One is an attack method that can kill evil objects, and the other is the ability to heal..." Sean felt a little satisfied, "If I could only rely on external objects to defend myself before, now I also have my own minions.
"If you encounter a wraith or dead body again in the future, you won't have to be as embarrassed as last time." Sean clenched his fists, feeling that he had a little more strength.
He was even more curious about the symbol he owned: "Not only can it strengthen the soul and realize many special abilities, it can also collect abilities from other systems and become an expansion and extension of runes.
"Not only the Witch's Moon I got this time, but the candlestick can also absorb more symbols - if I collect it carefully, I can get many different abilities.
Sean then thought of the mysterious man who called him earlier: "The other person has been trying to kill me, but they don't know that I am getting stronger quickly... I must continue, get the explorer's license, and obtain my functions.
"Not only do I want to find Aaliyah, but I also have to settle accounts with those hiding in the shadows in the future!" Sean clenched his teeth unknowingly, and his ectoplasm showed dangerous rust...
——
During the three days of advertising, Sean asked Daisy to ask her detective friends to conduct secret inquiries with photos of men in tuxedos - after all, Mr. Pierce's memory had been tampered with, which did not mean that everyone who attended the banquet that day was I don’t even remember this man.
However, since Mr. Bill's banquet was not invitation-only and anyone willing to attend could come, so the only way to trace the attendees on that day was through the memories of known participants.
There are many participants. After getting the names, we will search for them one by one. The investigation cycle of this matter is very long, and progress may not be made in a short time, so Sean can only wait for the news here.
By the end of three days of advertising, Sean had received nearly two hundred calls. Many people did not know the whereabouts of Aaliyah, but they all said that they were moved by Sean's desire to find his sister and were willing to help unconditionally.
Sean was greatly moved, but he did not ask these people for too much help and refused almost all requests to meet.
"They are all kind-hearted ordinary people." Sean thought, "After all, the search for Aaliyah is dangerous, so we can't let them get involved too deeply."
After the advertising period ended, Sean went to the newspaper to pay the other half of the fee according to the contract. When I returned to the room, the phone rang again.
Sean didn't have high expectations for the call - it was obvious that the other party had hidden Aaliyah well. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party has left New Testament City. Sean was very anxious about the possibility of the second one.
He picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Sean Dickinson."
The caller was an old lady. She said she saw the girl in the newspaper.
Sean asked patiently: "Can you tell me what other characteristics she has? For example, the color of her hair or eyes."
"Oh," the old lady said with some excitement, "I remember that she was a very beautiful girl. Her hair was very long, almost hanging down to her waist. And those eyes, although I only glanced at them, I can't forget those light blue... uh, eyes."
