Under the arrangement of Director Turan, the shepherd dogs and staff who were on guard at the door temporarily left the hall. Sean and Moonlight led Olivia, who had already put on a set of women's casual clothes and had no special appearance at all, to get in. car.
Ivan had to deal with transporting the bodies of Gustav Burns and his teammates back to New Testament, and Doug chose to stay and help.
Before leaving, Evan and Doug walked up to Sean.
The clown hermit said solemnly: "Before this mission, I only heard about your deeds, but after working with you, I truly understood your power...
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to achieve what I want. Thank you.
"My real name is Evan Burns. I admire your quality, virtue and ability. If you need any cooperation in the future, just contact me directly.
After listening to what Ivan said, Doug, who was wearing a black mask, opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a long time, so he could only point at Ivan: "...He finished what I wanted to say. I admire you too, I am Doug." Grasco—don’t forget to keep an eye on the Styx coin picker for me!”
Sean smiled, and the four explorers held their masks with three fingers and whispered: "God favors the explorers."
Sean and Yueguang got into the car, and Curator Turan came over mysteriously. He looked at Olivia who was silent in the back seat, then at Yueguang, and said with a smile: "You are my benefactors. He is the savior of Arkham City. Rather than being displayed in display cabinets, if the things in the museum can help you, that will be the greatest demonstration of their value..."
Curator Turan looked at the moonlight as he spoke, and the pianist nodded repeatedly with a smile.
Sean was confused for a moment.
After saying goodbye, Sean started the vehicle and left.
The vehicle slowly left the entrance of the museum, and they saw Gary Turan turning and looking behind him in the rearview mirror.
There was a woman behind him, walking over with a boy and a girl. Gary Turan caught up and hugged them tightly.
The partners in the car looked at each other with relaxed and gentle expressions.
After a three-hour drive, Sean and Moonlight returned to New York City with Olivia Wind Chime.
It is getting late, and the street lights, car lights and neon lights in the city are all on.
The Ford drove into a busy street with skyscrapers.
As if to welcome new guests who have traveled through a long time and come to this era, the New Testament City tonight is particularly bright and noisy.
The vehicle merged into traffic in Times Square. There seems to be some large-scale event being held here, the traffic flow is slow and the crowds are surging.
People stopped to watch on both sides of the street. In the middle of the intersection of Times Square, a huge transparent aquarium was erected at this moment. The water tank was full, and it was a chaotic blue-green that could not be seen clearly.
The neon lights of theaters and shops illuminate the surroundings in dreamy colors.
The searchlights rotated and scanned the walls of the surrounding buildings, as if searching for some figure flying in the air.
A huge screen hangs above the stage, and a high-power projector is playing a black and white picture. The picture seems to be another modern city with many tall buildings.
The aerostat moves slowly in the geometric sky, with a sentence written in smooth handwriting on the side of the huge hull: "Ocean City welcomes you!"
"Ocean City?" Sean looked at the moonlight beside him with some confusion.
Moonlight fell asleep in the passenger seat before entering the city, and was just woken up by the noise around her. He was still a little sleepy at the moment, and he shrugged in confusion after hearing the words Sean said.
Suddenly, the lights in the transparent aquarium lit up, and the crowd burst into cheers.
The light illuminated the originally chaotic underwater world.
A man wearing diving armor slowly walked over from the bottom of the water. The heavy-duty armor-like diving suit he wore could withstand the water pressure of the deep sea. The diver's face could not be seen clearly through the green round thickened glass mask on the helmet.
The diver stepped on the seabed full of fine sand, corals and shells, and gradually walked to the water tank, waving his thick metal arms toward the outside in the translucent water...
There was something else swimming in the blurry "sea water", and only before the trajectory passed through the glass could people see their figures clearly - they were several beautiful women wearing fishtail suits and pretending to be mermaids, swimming and circling in the water.
They intertwined into various formations and looked at ease "under the sea". Waving hands in the bright water, it seems to welcome everyone.
More lights light up in the waterscape dotted with corals and various underwater creatures.
The lights radiated from the underwater skyscrapers outline a metropolitan skyline located in the deep sea...
Ethereal, profound, mysterious, prosperous...
The brightly lit underwater city is like a dream city!
"A city built under the water?" Sean's brows spread, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
Moonlight straightened up at this time and raised a finger: "Ah...Ocean City! I remembered it. I heard others talking about it. At first, I thought the other person was bragging...
"It is the masterpiece of a mysterious consortium, located somewhere on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a modern city built on the bottom of the sea using magic, modern industry and alchemy. Privately, many people call it the eighth wonder of the world.
"It was built under the leadership of New Zealanders, but New Zealand officials did not declare sovereignty. However, the managers of Ocean City seem to have actively contributed many resources, so its independent existence has been approved by the Holy Court and the officials. It is considered a brand new place. Tourist attraction.”
The lights outside the window were bright, the crowds were buzzing, and the model of the dreamy deep-sea city aroused people's cheers.
Sean in the car blinked: "Does this... really exist?"
Moonlight made a "who knows" expression.
Olivia, who was sitting in the back seat, opened her red eyes wide and looked at everything outside the window with curious and fresh eyes: "Is this the case in this era?
"It's so lively... It's like a noisy dream..."
Gorgeous neon lights, exciting orchestral music, dazzling shop windows, smiling people, a theater that creates a golden dream, a giant aquarium that reveals the existence of a mysterious city...
The delicate dark gold hand was raised, and the slender fingers were kept a little distance from the car window glass.
The girl who has been sitting alone under the moon for a hundred years has a look of disbelief in her bright eyes. She is afraid of breaking the wonderful bubbles that have appeared in her dreams countless times and does not dare to reach out and touch her: "I can also exist in such an era. ?"
Sean and Moonlight seemed to notice Olivia's movement. They both turned around and looked at the clever girl who was looking out the window curiously.
Moonlight smiled with tiger teeth: "How is it? It's very prosperous, isn't it?"
Sean smiled: "There are many new things, which are definitely more interesting than those in the museum. Let's take our time to see them together."
The two men turned back and continued chatting.
Olivia put a hand on her heart. Although her face was still expressionless, she felt a little warmth in her heart.
Not alone anymore...she felt exactly that.
The vehicle slowly drove out of the bustling neighborhood.
Sean could not reveal the existence of Olivia Wind Chime to the Explorers Association, so he sent her back to his home first.
As soon as she entered the house, Yueguang mysteriously took out an ancient scroll from her clothes.
With the warmth of the moonlight, Miss White, the little white mouse, hugged the scroll tightly, as if it was her own canoe.
Sean was a little surprised and asked: "What is this?"
Yueguang looked a little embarrassed and said: "This is the music score hidden in an ancient piano in the museum... I found it during the battle, and I slipped it into my clothes... and then forgot about it.
"It wasn't until I solved Naiya that I slowly recalled..." Yueguang had a somewhat contradictory look on her face - she looked guilty, but also seemed a little excited, "Although I know I should ask the curator, but I really want it too much. , I couldn’t take it out in the end…”
Sean finally understood what Turan meant by what he said before starting the race.
Sean shook his head and smiled: "Director Turan knows the museum well, and he watched our battle in the exhibition hall. He knows that you want to take away the piano score, and he agreed - you don't remember the last words of the director. Is it done?"
Moonlight patted her leg and suddenly realized: "So that's it! I thought he was referring to Olivia - that's why he looked at me and said those words...
"Oh, it's really..." Yueguang was obviously annoyed, "It won't make any difference if I tell him.
"On the contrary, it seems that I am not a gentleman enough..."
Sean advised: "Forget it, don't think about it. We took such a big risk to perform the mission, and we should have gained something. An ancient piano score is just an exhibit for a museum, but in your hands it may Take on new life.
"Tell me, which one is better?"
Moonlight beamed with joy when Sean said: "Mr. Dickinson, it has been proven once again that I am good at playing the piano and you are good at talking!"
Sean took the ancient piano score to a secret place for Yueguang: "Come back and read it again."
Then, Sean told Olivia how to use and function the things at home, and repeatedly told her not to go out and not to open the door when she heard a knock on the door...
When he warned me, Sean had the illusion of becoming a parent early...
"...I'm going to report to the association. Maybe tomorrow, maybe I'll be back in a few days."
Sean was very relieved to let Olivia stay at home alone - no one would visit this place, and there was an upgraded version of home protection technology to protect her.
The alchemy girl nodded obediently and maintained her posture in the museum. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed and hugged her legs, as if she was about to start the long-accustomed wait.
Sean and Moonlight looked at each other.
"Olivia?" Sean was hesitant to speak.
The girl raised her head and looked at Sean questioningly: "What are your instructions, reader?"
Sean pointed to the single green leather sofa next to Olivia: "This will be your home from now on. You... can sit on the sofa, or..." Sean pointed to the bedroom behind him, "or lie down Either in bed.”
Olivia nodded: "I understand, reader, thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, she had no intention of getting up and just continued to sit on the ground holding her legs.
Thin and small, it seems that he doesn't want to take up too much space in this world.
"This..." Moonlight patted Sean on the shoulder, "Maybe it's a personal preference."
Sean nodded and looked at the girl sitting on the ground with her legs crossed, suddenly feeling a little reluctant.
"Then let's go." Sean walked to the door and turned off the light slightly slowly.
In the darkness, Olivia rested her head on her knees and seemed to fall asleep again.
