Sean informed Yueguang and others about the in-depth mission assigned by the association's top management.
My old friend Yueguang shrugged naturally, as if "Don't ask me anymore, asking means participating."
Evan Burns said: "I can feel that this incident is extraordinary. Accepting an in-depth mission will be more involved... This is not an ordinary decision. I need to think about it carefully and give you a reply within two days."
Doug didn't care about being involved in other incidents, but he regretfully said that he had some insights after breaking through his fear. He had to go to the snow area to undergo the transformation journey in the tradition of the degenerate, and he could not continue to participate in the mission...
"Maybe next time we meet, you can bring your sister back..." The muscular man with yellow eyes smiled.
Sean nodded: "Maybe next time we meet, you will have gone through a huge transformation."
“Looking forward to our next cooperation.”
"wait for next time."
After saying goodbye to Evan and Doug, Sean and Moonlight returned to Moonlight's home.
In the living room, after Winnie looked at Moonlight to make sure no one was following her, she took Sean and Moonlight down to the basement and saw Olivia Wind Chime sitting alone under the electric light.
Sean checked carefully first and found that Olivia's body had fully recovered.
He was once again shocked by the mysterious technology used in precision alchemy...
Gently touching the waist that was pierced by black ice in his memory, Sean asked through the crimson bond: "Olivia, no matter how seriously injured you are, can you recover on your own?"
Olivia's voice rang in her heart: "The body is made of memory alloy. As long as the core is not damaged and given a certain amount of time, the body will gradually recover...
"So readers don't need to worry - leave the possibility of injury or death to me."
"Even so," Sean sighed in his heart: "You'd better not be too reckless."
"Why?" Under the electric light, Olivia's thin eyelids blinked, her red eyes twinkling.
Sean's mood was complicated, and he couldn't explain clearly at the moment: "In short, you are my assistant, but you are not something to be consumed."
Sean pretended to be better and led several people up the stairs.
Olivia stood at the end, staring at the reader's back.
After discussing with Moonlight, Sean decided to tell Winnie about the mission.
After all, she is the wife of 1902. If she wants to take Moonlight on a long trip, she must obtain her permission.
After telling Winnie that the two of them would go on a long trip on the next mission, Winnie 1902 said seriously: "As long as Yueguang thinks clearly, I will support him unconditionally."
The pianist reached out a hand and took his wife's hand.
"I made a promise before we got married," Winnie said, "to let him do what he wants to do - freedom is his motto."
Moonlight spread her hands with a look of pride on her face, as if saying: "This is my wife - this is why I love her."
"But..." Winnie changed the topic, squinted at the moonlight, and then turned to Sean with her eyes and said seriously, "Sean, you must keep an eye on him for me - don't let him talk sweet words in front of young women. , be attentive..."
Sean nodded solemnly: "We must do it."
Moonlight · 1902 had a look of disbelief as if he had been wronged, and defended himself: "Winnie! How could I have ever spoken sweet words to a woman other than you!"
Winnie sneered, groaned and grabbed Yueguang: "Don't think I don't know!"
Yueguang screamed in pain and looked at Sean who didn't speak for him with a complaining look.
Sean looked like he was taking Winnie's side and pretended not to notice.
One day later, Sean arrived at the "Merlin Detective Agency" in the downtown area in accordance with the previous agreement with Arthur Merlin.
To Sean's expectation, as a top Ace-level explorer, Arthur Merlin's office turned out to be very small and crude.
The receptionist sitting at the door was a fat black aunt. After informing Detective Merlin via inside information, Sean was allowed to enter his office.
The office is not big, and it is filled with a huge pile of papers, making the entire interior space look cramped.
Arthur Merlin is now "buried" in a sea of data.
On top of a stack of papers sits a glass of whiskey on the rocks.
A head of brown hair emerged from the curls next to the whiskey. Merlin, who was not wearing a mask, raised his head: "Wait a moment, I am sorting out the information..."
His eyes are dark blue, his nose is high, and he has some stubble on his face. Overall, he is a handsome man with a lazy temperament.
He pointed to the glass bottle containing amber liquid and the empty glass on the desk with the pen in his hand: "There is whiskey there, please help yourself."
Sean raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, moved a pile of materials, sat in a wooden chair and started waiting.
Some powerful Ace-level explorers choose to take off their masks because they are so famous in the industry that the masks have lost their purpose of hiding their identities.
Therefore, if there are no other reasons, such as superstition about the protective effect of masks, most of them show their true colors.
After a while, the independent detective finally stood up from the information, sat across from Sean, and handed over a document bag: "This is all the relevant information for this mission."
Sean was about to open it when Merlin, who took a sip of whiskey, raised his hand: "We'll look at this when we get back..."
"I called you here today because I want to give you some necessities for carrying out your mission..."
As he spoke, Merlin took out a pen with a black background and gold pattern from the drawer: "Ocean City has a mechanism to cut off spiritual communication, and they will probably review every radio call...
"So, when you make any progress in your investigation or encounter any problems, use this pen to write on any white paper, and those writings will be displayed on my notebook..."
Sean played with the pen which had a certain weight: "Doesn't this method of transmitting information require spiritual power?"
Merlin shook his head: "You will know in the future - the mechanisms of many mysterious things have nothing to do with spiritual power. With current knowledge, we cannot explain...
"When I reply to a letter, this pen will shake slightly..." Merlin made a gesture of holding the pen to write. "At that time, you can find a place where there is no one, find a piece of paper and hold the pen, and it will automatically write the content on On paper.”
Sean put the pen in his inner pocket: "Understood."
Next, Arthur Merlin made a strange move. He seemed to be holding an invisible object and placing it in front of Sean.
Sean looked at it with some confusion, and the independent detective explained: "In the rain forest of Nandel, there is a mysterious plant growing.
"The local indigenous people call it 'Devil's Trap'. In the "Mist Illustrated Book", this plant is called the Abyss Flower...
"It is a carnivorous plant with the ability to become invisible. If an animal accidentally steps into its mouth, it will fall into the stomach bag of an unknown space and disappear forever...
"It's like falling into an invisible abyss."
Merlin picked up the air in front of him and made a gesture to reveal something.
Sean's eyes widened - he saw that where Merlin's palm was opened, it was as if a piece of air had been lifted away, revealing a deep space.
"This is a special bag made of Abyss Flower - we call it the 'Abyss Flower Stomach'," Merlin reached out and handed it to Sean, "You can carry it with you, and only you can open it after it is bound. and take what is deposited therein.”
Sean felt that there was indeed something light and fluffy in his hand, as thin as paper: "How do I bind it?"
"Put your hand in..." Merlin made some strange gestures, "and pour in your spiritual power.
"They are all domesticated species. From now on, they will feed on your spiritual power - remember to feed it spiritual power every day, otherwise it will go on strike..."
With a little fear, Sean put his hand into the "stomach bag", and then released his spiritual power...
He felt the mouth of the Abyss Flower tremble slightly in his hand for a while, and then stretched out invisible ribbons, gently but firmly binding it to Sean's thigh.
"The stomach pouch is in another space, so what's put in it isn't affected by gravity.
"However, don't overfill it. If the endometrium is burst, it will take a long time to recover..."
The things put inside lose volume and weight, and you can reach into the stomach pouch with your hanging hand to take it out, and the space inside is large enough to even put down a Mauser rifle...
"It's really a very convenient thing..."
No longer needing to carry everything, Sean imagined himself taking out what he needed from the invisible stomach bag, and suddenly felt a little euphoric...
Sean reached out to explore the stomach bag and found that the space inside was really large, enough to hide a person in it!
His hand found something like a suitcase in his stomach, and he took it out with some confusion.
This is a somewhat old brown leather suitcase, the outer cover has peeled off a bit, and there are still some airline stickers with unclear handwriting...
Sean discovered that this was a suitcase with a mechanical combination lock. Three rollers needed to be turned to form a combination to open it.
"This is?"
Merlin said: "I will treat the stomach bag of the Abyss Flower as a gift to you. However, this suitcase is lent to you...
"This is a Class A mysterious heritage."
