After paying the 2,000 New Zealand dollar investment fee, Fat Mo handed the two agreements to Daisy and Sean and left in a hurry, no longer the nagging nature of before.
After joining the black market magic product business, Sean will receive a dividend of about NZ$500 at the end of each month, and he will be able to purchase various magic products at 50% of the price, many of which are often out of stock in vending machines. Divine items, such as the Holy Flame Silver Coin.
News finally came from Bill's side, and the investigation against Kennedy finally came to fruition.
Due to Kennedy's forgetful nature, the commission to track down Kennedy did not remind Bill of the disappearance of Arya Dickinson.
In order not to let him associate with it, the relevant investigation was connected with Sean. When collecting the clues, Moonlight went there alone wearing a mask.
After obtaining the corresponding clues, Moonlight came to Sean's home with a brown paper bag containing the clues.
Taking out all the investigation reports from the paper bag and placing them on the table, Sean's eyes fell on a photo.
Tall and thin figure, deep eye sockets, mysterious and hesitant temperament... In addition to not wearing a top hat, the person in the photo is obviously Mr. Kennedy who kidnapped Aaliyah.
"Finally!" Sean clenched his fists.
If the identity of the kidnapper can be known, then it is very likely that he can be traced and Aaliyah can be taken back!
"William Adams..." Sean frowned, "Is this Kennedy's real name?"
However, as Sean turned over the pages of Kennedy's investigation report, huge confusion emerged in his heart again.
"William Adams, First Class Docent at Arkham National Museum.
"Died on June 21, 1921. Body found in Arkham National Museum. Cause of death unknown."
The information in hand turned to a photo of a man's body at the scene of his death.
To say he is "a man" is to judge based on his physique and clothing.
Because this photo of a corpse is really weird.
The body identified as William Adams lay in a pool of blood. His face, which should have facial features, was blank.
His face disappeared.
Sean raised his head and met the eyes of Yue Guang, who was also confused. It took him a long time before he said, "Kennedy took away this tour guide's face?"
Moonlight squinted her eyes, showing a hint of interest: "I'm afraid so..."
Sean thought of some of what he saw in the "Ancient God Investigation Report".
The events recorded in the investigation report reminded him of the hair-raising descriptions in the "Report".
Is Kennedy related to that nameless, faceless, invisible god for whom even mentioning the name is risky?
If this is the case, then the man named Kennedy has most likely sacrificed his appearance and name.
"His weird ability may have something to do with it..." Sean thought of the scene where the photographer's memory was erased and tampered with.
The investigation did not go as smoothly as expected. The portrait pointed not to Kennedy himself, but to a face he had taken away.
However, Sean's eyes fell on the name "Arkham National Museum".
"There must be a reason why Kennedy wanted to go to this museum. You have to go and see it no matter what."
Moonlight added: "There are many bounty missions in Arkham City. I suggest you go to the association to see if there are any bounty missions that can be completed...
"This way you can not only get mission bonuses, but also recruit teammates."
Sean agreed with Moonlight's idea, and the two drove to the Explorer Center.
In the Explorer Center on the tenth floor, Sean and Moonlight searched for a while on the walls covered with tasks and found that there were indeed many tasks involving Arkham.
Among the many bounties, Moonlight found a mission to investigate the Arkham National Museum.
It is made of white paper - meaning it is a task officially issued by the association, but the task seems to have been released a long time ago, and the edges of the white paper are already somewhat yellowed:
"Mission location: Arkham City, Arkham National Museum."
“The mission was issued in July 1921: to investigate the death of a tour guide in the National Museum.
Additional mission in August 1921: Investigate the disappearance of the "Old Hunter" Gustav Burns team. (Note: The task has been adjusted from normal risk to high risk)
Mission difficulty: Jack level (high risk)
Completion Reward: $800 (Group) Items and Mysterious Heritage Found on the Mission
Application status: In February 1923, one explorer applied for the mission, waiting for three teammates;
In January 1924, one explorer applied for a mission and was waiting for two teammates;"
After reading the mission details, Sean said, "It's a little weird, isn't it?"
Yueguang also straightened up, his face full of doubts: "It's indeed a bit strange.
"The bounty for this mission is relatively high among Jack-level missions..." Moonlight showed a blank look on her face, and opened the covered mission to read, "The entire team has 800 New Zealand dollars."
Sean continued: "After it was released in July 1921, someone picked it up in August, but this one..." Sean tried to think back, "Gustav Burns' team seems to have disappeared?"
Moonlight nodded: "That's right, and then no one paid attention to it. It wasn't until last year and this year that one explorer applied for the mission, and now there are still two teammates missing...
"Even though it is a high-risk Jack-level task, it is a bit strange that no one has taken up a mission for two years. Why is this happening? Are there some risks that are not stated on the mission bounty?"
Sean asked: "Is it because it was covered up by other assignment papers?"
Moonlight shook her head: "That's not the case."
"Then there may be hidden risks. Let's ask the association staff."
After finding the association staff, it seemed that they couldn't remember the details of the mission because it had been so long. They followed Sean to the mission wall, and after reading through it, they remembered: "Oh, this is just an ordinary Jack-level mission. Because one team has not reported yet, it was raised to high risk. There is no other risk information."
Moonlight asked curiously: "Then why has no one picked up for so long?"
The staff member rolled his blue eyes upwards and shrugged: "Many tasks are like this, it's a bit metaphysical... Maybe it's because it's a task in Arkham City, and it involves the National Museum, which may have ancient collections?
"Both of these are relatively easy to 'win the jackpot'," the staff member laughed, "I'm afraid many people are taboo about it.
"By the way, Arkham City has the Miskatonic University, which is famous for its occultism, so its museum collection is very rich and interesting. I went there when I was a child, and it was much more interesting than the New Testament museum. You guys are here this time. The mission is just right for a visit.
"Any information on the missing Gustav Burns team?"
Sean and Yueguang followed the staff to the archives room, and the other party handed Sean the files they originally applied for to perform the mission.
"Gustav Burns. Male, 37 years old, senior Jack-level explorer, has been in the industry for 12 years, and his mask is 'Winter Forest Hunter'..."
The other three team members are also Jack-level, and two of them are already in the senior ranks.
"Winter Forest Hunter..." Sean frowned, "He has a particularly keen sense of danger. There are also three senior Jack-levels in the team. Even if he wins the jackpot, he has a high chance of escaping. How could he end up missing?"
Sean raised his head and asked: "Did the search and rescue forces at that time have any reports related to the disappearance?"
“The Explorer’s disappearance closed that museum for nearly two months, but search and rescue and investigation teams found nothing.
"That's why it was announced as a high-risk Jack-level mission."
Sean said: "It feels like a Queen-level mission..."
The staff shrugged: "High-risk Jack and normal-risk Queen are pretty much the same. Association members can make their own decisions."
The staff quickly put the incident behind them and went about other things.
Sean's face didn't look good - they had won the jackpot many times, and this mission exuded an obvious ominousness...
Moonlight read with a scary expression and played creepy music with one hand while saying: "Arkham City, the National Museum, plus the 'Legendary' Explorer Sean!
"If the three winning factors come together, will it cause some world-destroying disaster?"
Sean first held his forehead, then suddenly thought of something, and said: "Maybe a negative will make a positive?
"Because the Arkham City Museum is too easy to win, and after adding me, it will become the kind of task that can be solved easily?
"Impossible..." Yueguang waved her hands repeatedly, "A team has already disappeared."
Sean was lost in thought.
Although there were some contradictions, he still couldn't let go of the clue that "the tour guide lost his face".
There must be important secrets about Kennedy hidden in the Arkham National Museum. It is impossible to bypass this high-risk mission to retrieve Aaliyah.
Go to the museum anyway.
"How about we not accept the mission?" Moonlight suggested as if she knew Sean's concerns.
Sean thought for a while and rejected the proposal: "The museum's mission must be related to Kennedy. Investigating it will definitely trigger danger. If you take over the mission, you will get two more teammates..."
"That's right." Yueguang sighed heavily, relieved, "Why are you hesitating? Just take it!"
