After getting the unknown record, Sean, who had been plotted many times, would certainly not be so reckless as to start listening to it directly.

It happened to be a training day, and Sean brought the vinyl record to Guling Quest Company.

"Miss Catherine, I have something here, and I want you to check it for me to see if it's dangerous."

Catherine glanced at Sean, then took the slightly old-looking vinyl record and looked at it carefully.

Sean focused his attention on the symbols but did not diffuse the ectoplasm.

He could see Catherine's hands holding the record, with ectoplasm glowing purple, constantly checking the record...

"Where did you get this record?" Catherine asked with her wine-blue eyes staring at Sean.

Sean briefly recounted the progress he had made, explaining the origins of the record. However, he had not told Catherine about his symbol ability, so he hid the matter of solving Tom in the Rain alone.

After checking it, Catherine handed the record back: "I can't sense any curse or resentment, so there is no danger in holding this thing.

"However, this kind of media, such as diaries and records, cannot activate its deep secrets without reading or listening." Catherine was very serious when she spoke, making sure that Sean listened. "So, if you want to play it or conduct in-depth research, there may still be dangers. This kind of thing may involve mysterious things. I suggest you get a license before conducting in-depth investigations..."

Sean nodded, but thought in his mind: "If they take Aaliya away from New Testament City and delay it for a long time, it will be difficult to trace it. I can't wait!"

During training, Catherine was a little surprised by Sean's performance. Fighting and shooting are the basic abilities of explorers. It is difficult to master these two skills without years of accumulation.

However, Catherine found that Sean's learning speed was very fast. He could master some difficult moves by watching them once. All the moves that he had learned once could be used smoothly without repeated practice to form muscle memory - even if he just went through it. After only a few training sessions, his movements have become more proficient, as if he had practiced hard for a long time.

"A strong soul means a developed brain, the container of the soul." Catherine thought as she looked at the back of Sean who was shooting, "A developed brain means having stronger learning and understanding abilities.

"In addition, he is now in a very dangerous situation and faces the threat of death almost every day. This situation stimulates his survival instinct and allows him to concentrate all his life energy to learn these self-protection and strengthening skills. …”

Catherine looked at Sean's focused and resolute profile beside her: "That's why he shows such amazing learning ability!" Catherine understood Sean's state of mind at this time. With a deeper understanding of her state of mind, she will be more realistic when playing such roles in the future...

After training, Sean returned to the hotel with the record.

Without any further hesitation, he placed the unknown record on the record player, put down the pointer, and started playing...

After a soothing sound of popping beans, an elegant female voice sounded. She sang a lingering song in lyrical blues music. The general idea of ​​the song is that she is missing a man she met at a dance...

There was a knock on Sean's door. After opening the door, Miss Daisy stood at the door: "Oh? Are you listening to music?" Wearing a blue shirt and a pearl silk scarf, she stepped into the room, "You should relax sometimes..."

Sean didn't know what would happen while playing this vinyl record. He wanted to interrupt the playback, but Daisy grabbed his hand: "Why don't we dance..." There was a look in her eyes. Smiling.

Saying no to a woman's invitation to dance can be just as dangerous as facing a mysterious loss of control. Sean sighed in his heart and secretly prayed that nothing strange would happen. With a gentle smile on his face, he danced with Miss Daisy amidst the lingering music.

The atmosphere is somewhat ambiguous. But Sean was a little nervous. It's not because he's not good at being intimate with women, but because he's worried about the appearance of evil corpses and the like...

The first song is over. The second song is sung by a man. In the light jazz, he expresses the joy of meeting his lover.

Sean and Daisy looked at each other and smiled, and their dance became lively...

"Do you know their story?" Daisy smiled, her earrings shining.

"Whose story?"

"Both of them," Daisy pointed to the record player, "Jason and Julia."

Sean was a little confused: "Have you heard these songs?"

Daisy smiled, and it was the kind of smile that made Sean look cute and silly: "The whole New York City has heard about it, okay?"

Is this just an ordinary pop record? Sean thought about it and said, "What's their story?"

"Both of them are well-known singers. They met at a performance. They fell in love at first sight and soon began to fall in love." As the music played, Daisy seemed tired from dancing and pulled Sean to sit down. "However, For some reasons, the two could not be together. However, they were very courageous and abandoned their prosperous careers for love, eloped to South Delzhou, and never came back..."

Jason and Julia? A singer couple who eloped? Does this record have such a story? Sean was a little surprised.

"This record is the last one they recorded before they elope." Daisy's green eyes sparkled slightly, as if telling this story was an adventure in itself, "There are three songs in total, the first one is "Your Eyes" , tells the story of their encounter.

"The second song is "Tonight", which expresses their feelings every time they meet when they are passionately in love.

"The third song is called "Midnight Elopement", which is also the name of this record. It is the only duet song between Jason and Julia...

"This record caused a sensation at first!"

At this time, the second song "Tonight" has finished playing, and the speaker of the record player is making the sound of popping beans in the middle.

The first two songs have great melodies, which makes Sean look forward to the third song.

The two sat in silence amidst the long sound of popping beans, but the third song never started.

The long silence seemed a bit abrupt, and both of them looked at the record player in confusion.

Then, a faint voice appeared amidst the sound of beans popping.

Sean and Daisy looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Because what came out of the record player was not singing, but the sound of a woman crying...
