Sean continued his story, talking about how he was captured by the sublimated Egwyn...
"...I was controlled by his power. Before he caught me in the air, Moonlight tried to save me. He pretended to play the piano, and then let the little white mouse he had with him get into my clothes.
"When Eggwin hypnotized me and wanted to steal my soul, the white mouse bit me and I woke up from the pain." Sean actually had a very clear memory of that period, but he pretended that it was difficult to recall it, frowning and struggling Said, "Then I felt Egwen's ectoplasm merge into my ectoplasm, and seemed to intend to absorb my soul..."
Richard raised his palm at this time: "Please stop." Although he was wearing a mask, his voice was extremely clear, "In other words, you are out of the angel's hypnosis?"
Sean nodded: "Yes."
Richard grunted, seemingly to himself: "This is rare...but there is a record in your file that your recommender said that your soul is particularly strong...maybe this is the reason.
"I have to say that you are a very talented explorer. Please continue talking."
Sean continued: "When he tried to absorb my soul again, I used some special means to interrupt Egwin's attempt."
Richard looked at Sean in confusion again: "What special method?"
Sean just took a sip of water and didn't answer.
Richard raised his hands and said: "Mr. Sean, I know that as a explorer, you want to keep your 'trump card' secret.
"However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the investigation report, I must know your special means. Of course, the association will keep this confidential. Only the top management of the association has the right to access your files, and it will not affect your exploration career."
As if he had gone through a mental struggle, Sean drank the water in the glass nervously, and said with difficulty: "Okay, whatever, it won't be a secret in the future anyway...
"After I studied the "Book of Souls", I discovered that I could directly use the power of ectoplasm -" This is information that the association will definitely know, "Not only that, I also have three ectoplasmic abilities, one of which can Use ectoplasm to perform piercing damage, one can heal wounds, and the other can directly affect the emotions of the conscious body..."
Richard stopped writing in surprise: "This is a rare talent - a very, very rare talent. Mr. Sean.
"If I wasn't sure before, now I can make a bold prediction: you have the potential to become a King-level explorer in the future!"
Sean raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? Although I have these abilities, I don't know much about the situation in the industry."
Richard smiled: "Let me tell you this - you can use ectoplasm, and ectoplasm can also switch between three properties. Many explorers who have gone through many years of meditation training cannot do this.
"However, the explorer industry has gathered many talented people, and such talents are not unique. For example, your teammate, Mr. 1902, is also a genius.
"Perhaps it is because of outstanding young people like you that the damage of this incident was minimized."
Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He chose to hide part of the secret first to make the other party curious. When the other party's attention was focused on the secret, Sean then told part of the truth to offset all the other party's doubts.
Apparently, his plan worked. Although his spiritual ability has been revealed, the secret of his "divine roots" has been retained.
The mission report ended smoothly. Since low-level explorers once fell into a state of madness and even had suicidal tendencies after high-intensity missions, the team members were temporarily left in the explorer center as usual.
There are dedicated hotel rooms in the building, and the accommodation conditions are quite good, so Sean settled in there casually.
Sean and Moonlight's investigation went relatively smoothly. They came out early. After finding their own rooms, they stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window outside the guest room.
Outside the window, you can see dimly lit streets criss-crossing the streets.
Central Avenue is like a "big tree of lights" made up of street lights and car lights. All streets, including Wall Street and Silent Street, are the shining branches of this big tree.
The Explorer Center is located in the skyscraper cluster of Wall Street, surrounded by giant buildings such as the Rockefeller Building and the Kingdom of God Building illuminated by searchlights.
Before, these skyscrapers were like giant pillars supporting the sky and the earth, but now... "I'm standing inside one of the giant pillars." Sean thought.
"This kind of scenery is rare..." The city lights were reflected in his eyes, the cigarette flickered on and off, and the moonlight blew out a puff of smoke.
Sean knew that moonlight meant that it was difficult to see this kind of metropolitan night scene from a ship. But he also resonated with it very much - he was sure that there was no place in Leon that could have the same scenery.
The two of them had just experienced a difficult mission. It was already after eight o'clock in the evening, but they had not yet changed or showered. At this time when they were supposed to be well-dressed, their clothes were in tatters, stained with blood, and their faces were covered with wounds and stains.
Sean picked up the whiskey hanging on the ice and took a swig. He rarely drank alcohol, but today there was a bottle of whiskey and a bucket of ice in the room, and he allowed himself to make an exception today: "I damn near died today!" He thought as he poured the wine.
Moonlight's mind drifted to nowhere. She looked at her reflection in the glass and murmured: "Fuck, I remembered, this shirt of mine is new. Winnie told me not to wear this shirt on missions." , she will scold me to death when she sees it..."
Winnie is Moonlight's wife. Sean and Yueguang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing when they saw each other's embarrassed look.
All the pressure seemed to be released with this burst of laughter.
"Man, thank you." Moonlight said seriously with a smile, raising a right hand whose finger had been broken off by Egwin. At this point, the right hand has basically recovered - there is still some swelling in the joint, but it will definitely recover completely after a while.
Sean shrugged: "No, I have to thank you." Sean realized on the way back that if he hadn't met Yueguang before the mission, if Moonlight hadn't offered to help him with his internship mission, If Yueguang had not participated in this mission... his soul would have been annihilated.
"Where's Jasmine? Have you seen her?" Sean asked.
Moonlight took a deep breath on the cigarette and blew it out like a sigh: "She was in the office next to mine. When I came out, I saw a hypnotist from the association giving her hypnotherapy - that should be Let her feel better..."
Not far behind, there was a "ding" from the elevator. The two turned around and saw the tall woman with glasses and hair in a bun - people called her "Ms. Austin", who was the head of the risk control department of the association. She accompanied Jasmine to the guest room floor.
Sean and Moonlight came over - they didn't go into their respective guest rooms to rest, but were actually waiting for Jasmine.
When Austin saw Sean and Moonlight, she nodded slightly: "Let's talk." After that, she handed the room key to Sean and returned to the elevator.
At this time, Jasmine had taken off her mask, and her face was clean, probably from washing. Without the blood stains, it can be seen that her face is very similar to Wilson. Sean and Moonlight were not wearing masks at this time, but Jasmine could recognize them when she saw their dirty clothes.
"What are you going to do next?" Sean asked.
Jasmine raised her eyes - now her eyes were no longer distracted, but rather downcast and calm: "I plan to follow Wilson's wishes, quit this industry, and take good care of my mother."
When the two were alone just now, Sean mentioned in the moonlight that Wilson had purchased Explorer insurance - although a proportion of the commission would be deducted for each mission, if he died due to the mission, his family could receive a generous sum of money. compensation.
Life for Jasmine and her mother was not a problem.
Sean: "If you encounter any difficulties in life in the future, you can come to us two."
Jasmine nodded gratefully, with a tired smile on her face: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died in this mission."
After the three chatted for a while, both Sean and Yueguang saw that Jasmine was a little tired, so they each returned to their rooms.
A little later, the service staff on the hotel floor delivered dinner. There was also a black envelope with the "Prying Eye" logo on the dinner car. It was written in gold ink: To Mr. Sean, the Explorer.
Seeing the words on the envelope, Sean felt excited: "The title is Explorer, and the association has recognized my professional status! So this letter..."
Regardless of the fact that the steak and mashed potatoes were getting cold, Sean picked up the envelope: "Mr. Sean, I am honored to inform you that you have passed the Explorer career assessment. You are sincerely invited to pick up your career on 31F of the Explorer Center at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Certificate, and participate in the Mask Awarding Ceremony - Newlandall Explorer Examination Committee.”
