If you enter through the front entrance wearing a Seeker mask, you will definitely attract too much attention, which is something Sean should try to avoid.
So the two of them went around the wall behind the mansion. Sean first used the ectoplasmic check to make sure there was no one inside the wall for a moment, and then climbed over to the courtyard of the mansion with Moonlight.
It was already night and it was time for a party, so the timing of the visit didn't seem right. However, the two of them had discussed this before - as long as they were wearing the Explorer mask, it seemed that it was not a "good time" to visit at any time, so it was better to be straightforward.
From the courtyard, they climbed into the balcony on the first floor behind the mansion. The two of them walked into the light. When no one was around, they adjusted each other's appearance. After entering the mansion, they pretended to be explorers attending a banquet and went straight upstairs. , this was the original plan.
After ensuring that there was no problem with their appearance, the two walked to the lobby on the first floor of the mansion while chatting openly and naturally.
Since the orchestra and fireworks were outside, the main location of the banquet was not in the hall at this time. Only a few guests going to the bathroom and servants carrying trays came and went.
Under the slightly surprised look of a servant carrying a cocktail tray, Moonlight turned to Sean and said, "Today's roast chicken is a little cold, what do you think?"
Sean shrugged: "Maybe you said too many flattering words to the ladies and your tongue was too hot."
Moonlight laughed dryly, and naturally took a martini from the servant's tray: "Thank you."
The natural state of the two mysterious guests made the servant realize that his gaze was a bit rude - "There have been explorer guests in the mansion." While thinking this, he nodded humbly and walked towards the courtyard.
The two of them went up the hall stairs, Sean's ectoplasmic tentacles sweeping everywhere, looking for Mr. Bill.
When they arrived on the second floor, a drunk man came over: "Oh? There is a masquerade party tonight?" He blocked Sean and Moonlight's way too enthusiastically, "I like your masks... "
Moonlight drank the martini in the glass and handed the empty glass to the man: "No, we are explorers. This house is haunted. Run away."
The man's eyes bulged, and he heard the dangerous melody of the moonlight bouncing in the air. He woke up from the drunkenness, stomped down the stairs with the empty cup, and ran directly outside the mansion.
Moonlight smiled with satisfaction. Sean's ectoplasmic tentacles suddenly felt a special feeling in a room on the fourth floor.
He frowned - the ectoplasm sensed the hidden danger, as uneasy as if he had reached into a lion's cage.
He took back the ectoplasm and thought carefully: "Maybe it's an anti-exploration area set up by the explorers around Mr. Bill... Anyway, you should go up and have a look."
As soon as the two reached the fourth floor, they saw the hypnotist wearing an owl mask standing on the stairs: "I don't remember Mr. Bill saying that he invited Explorer guests tonight."
Moonlight had extraordinary magnanimity and led the "follower" Sean behind him step by step to the side of his fellow explorers: "I don't remember that Mr. Bill's banquet was invitation-only - I thought people walking in the dark would also Be equally welcome in this happy place.”
"God favors explorers." Mr. Owl maintained proper etiquette and was generally friendly. "Why are you here?"
Mr. Bill usually appears in the mansion after the fireworks show, toasting and greeting guests one by one. He was changing his shirt at this time, and heard the movement outside the study. While buttoning his cufflinks, he stuck his head out: "Keanu, Is this your friend?"
The owl turned back: "No. I thought he was your friend."
Moonlight greeted Bill slightly: "Mr. Bill, I'm very sorry for finding you so presumptuously tonight. In fact, I have something to ask you."
Bill was happy to deal with the explorers and shook his head towards the room: "Come in, gentlemen."
After entering the room, the servant who was waiting for Bill to get dressed went out and closed the door, while Keanu, the explorer's bodyguard, almost stood between Bill and Moonlight.
Bill tied his tie in front of the mirror and said, "Many people ask me for help, and I ask many people for help. Living in this world, people always have to help each other, right?"
"You are right." After Yueguang introduced herself to Xiao, she explained the purpose of her visit, "We are looking for someone who has attended your banquet before."
Bill straightened his tie, looked away from the mirror, and turned to face the moonlight: "Who?"
Moonlight looked at Sean and shook his head. Sean took out a portrait of Kennedy from his inner pocket...
Before he unfolded it and handed it to Bill, Keanu stretched out his hand to stop Sean's movement: "Please wait a moment."
Fireworks bloomed outside the window, music played by the orchestra came, and the courtyard was buzzing with people. Keanu whispered: "The person the explorer is looking for will inevitably involve evil elements.
He turned to Bill and explained, "It's probably a risk for us to even hear the name they're going to say and see the person's likeness..."
The owl mask turned back, stared at the moonlight, tilted his head slightly, and said with a fluctuating tone: "These two gentlemen must understand this. Am I right? Maybe they realize that rashly involving others in dangerous incidents is a If you are rude and offensive, you will give up your request...
Moonlight noticed that there was something special about Keanu's eyes and tone. He felt that he seemed to have received some hypnotic suggestions, and wanted to feel guilty for his actions, apologize immediately, and leave here.
Moonlight did not answer in a hurry. He closed his eyes first and turned his attention to the music coming from the window. His eyelids trembled slightly: "This piano player... played a little faster, maybe he was too excited."
The feeling of wanting to retreat after being hinted by Keanu just now subsided a little.
He stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Sean, indicating not to show the portrait in a hurry: "Mr. Keanu, you are right. Although this person's name and face are not taboo or cursed, we really shouldn't use them in the name of Sean. Before the matter was clear, I was anxious to reveal this person’s information.”
Keanu looked at Sean's mask in front of him - he thought it was just a gray special mask. After getting closer, under the reflection of the fireworks, he saw clearly that there was thick fog slowly flowing in the mask...
"Wait, you are..." Keanu was obviously surprised, "'Palace Musician' and that 'Mist'..."
"Are you the Jack-level team that helped solve the last angel's arrival incident?"
Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and the latter nodded.
Keanu, who was originally a little wary, stood up straight: "If it were other explorers, I would have asked them to leave unceremoniously.
"However, I have heard your rumors and deeds in the association. You are very good explorers," Keanu's originally arrogant spine tilted forward slightly to show respect.
But his attitude has become cold: "Having said that, as Mr. Bill's bodyguard, I have decided to reject your request - my duty is to ensure Mr. Bill's safety. If he is involved in another evil incident, I am afraid it will Going against my goals.”
Another...evil incident? Sean pondered Keanu's words calmly: "Mr. Bill will hire Queen-level explorers as bodyguards, and he has indeed encountered some difficult things...
"If Keanu says this, there's nothing we can do about it." Sean sighed in his heart.
Just when Moonlight and Sean were about to apologize and say goodbye, Bill took a few steps closer: "Keanu, I have an idea."
The three explorers looked at this man with gray eyes and extraordinary charm.
"Listening to what you just said, these two Mr. Explorers have considerable strength.
"Why not let them help solve that matter." Bill spoke with his eyes slightly squinted, his teeth neat and white, which made people feel good. This charm is close to a function... "If these two gentlemen can solve our trouble, as a In exchange, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for us to help them.”
Keanu pondered for a while and nodded slowly: "It is indeed a good proposal."
As before, after just hearing a few words of dialogue, Sean gave an outline of the matter: "The trouble that the Queen-level explorers have put aside for the time being - maybe there is not enough manpower, maybe there is a huge risk in the matter itself..." He looked at Yueguang. The two of them didn't say anything. Yueguang actually nodded, as if to say: Understand the situation first, I understand.
Outside the window, the fireworks had finished setting off, the orchestra changed to a melodious tune, someone knocked on the door, and the butler's voice sounded: "Mr. Bill, there are several guests waiting for you."
Bill responded: "Ten minutes!"
Bill looked at the moonlight as if asking for his permission. Moonlight nodded slightly.
Bill put on a silk black coat, went behind the desk, and took out a paper bag from the drawer.
With a look of disgust on his face, he threw the paper bag to the far end of the table, as if he didn't want to touch it: "Gentlemen, take a look for yourselves."
