"I understand." Ivan nodded, "If that's the case, only we can carry out this task."
"There are some antecedents behind this main mission." Sean continued, "First of all, although Charlie Jojo went to Ocean City for the purpose of promoting the movie, he actually had a secret involving the exploration business. Task."
"What mission?"
"The Holy Court and the Explorers Association are very curious about everything that happens in Ocean City..." Sean's spiritual essence spread around to ensure that no one would eavesdrop. "There are some high-level officials who believe that there are some 'anti-salvation cults' in Ocean City. secret.
“Whether it’s due to the order issued by the Divine Palace, or the position of the Explorers Association itself…
"President Phillips very much hopes to be able to grasp the situation in Ocean City."
"Anti-Saviorism"? Moonlight's eyes widened, and he instantly thought of the "Ring of Judas".
Of course, he did not utter the term banned by the silence sign.
Sean confirmed Moonlight's association with his eyes.
Moonlight had a look of realization on her face.
Anti-Saviorism, Judas Circle, JFK…
The whole thing is probably related to the kidnapping of three child prodigies, Neil Gate, Benjamin Button and Arya Dickinson!
"So, the real mission of Charlie Jojo is to investigate the secrets in Ocean City..."
Ivan took a breath: "Then there must be a lot of stories behind his disappearance...
"Qiaoqiao may have learned something, so he was killed or imprisoned!"
Sean blinked slowly and nodded: "This is also Arthur Merlin's guess.
"So, this mission actually has two levels: the first level is to find Qiao Qiao, and the deeper level is to dig out the secret hidden in Ocean City..."
Yueguang and Ivan nodded slowly.
Moonlight has a better understanding of why Arthur Merlin gave Sean this mission.
Unearthing the secrets of the "anti-Saviorism" hidden in Ocean City, the spearhead of this mission is obviously directed at Judas Ring and Kennedy.
As long as Sean pursues Aaliyah, he will inevitably dig out this secret...
And as long as he completes this task, he can rescue Aaliyah!
These are two goals pointing to the same essence!
In addition to the reasons mentioned before, Sean is the most motivated person to undertake this task.
Moonlight's lips parted slightly, somewhat amazed at Arthur Merlin's ability to see through the essence of the matter and choose the executor...
Sean continued: "Involving Jojo and the anti-Savior secrets in Ocean City, this is just a task given by the association."
"We have another mission.
"This is a personal request from Arthur Merlin.
“This mission has some background story, involving the history of an important organization in Ocean City, which itself explains something...
"However, in order to avoid confusion when performing the task, I will inform you of this task at a suitable time in the future.
"What you can know now is that this private mission is related to the Daedalus Foundation."
Daedalus Foundation? Moonlight opened her eyes wide.
That mysterious organization founded in the late sixteenth century, dedicated to containing and controlling terrible things that threaten the fate of mankind, and supported by many governments?
What does it have to do with Ocean City? What is the mission entrusted to Arthur Merlin?
Although Moonlight had many doubts in his heart, he trusted Sean and his arrangements.
Therefore, he did not ask further questions and kept all these questions in his heart.
My thoughts returned to the present.
Moonlight was lying on the bed at the moment, and the lights in the room had been turned off.
He looked at the dark top of the cabin, and the light from the corridor light outside the window was projected on the wall through the circular porthole.
The sound of the waves rises and falls in the distance, and in this hypnotic sound, the moonlight falls into sleep.
The sound of the tide fell into his dream, allowing him to enter the modern city hidden deep under the sea in advance...
——
After the emerald necklace crisis was resolved, the voyage became uneventful.
Soon, the Bronze Giant stopped in the deep water area nearly one nautical mile away from Avalon Island.
Due to the limited water depth of the Avalon Island port, giant cruise ships such as the Bronze Giant cannot enter. Therefore, people who land on the island can only take small boats and have the crew row to the island before landing.
Sean and others carried the few luggage and walked towards the Z-shaped ramp on the first floor.
Under the gangway is a small boat that has entered the water.
Before the Bronze Giant stopped temporarily, Sean had already used the afterglow of the setting sun to carefully look at the island in the distance.
It was a small island, and Sean visually estimated that it might be about the same size as the core area of New Testament City.
There are some hardy plants on the island. If it weren't for the obvious port and the red and white lighthouse on the mountain in the distance, Avalon Island would look like a natural desert island without human traces.
"Avalon..." Sean pondered in his heart, "It is the legendary island in the stories of the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur.
"Why is it named Avalon Island? Does it symbolize that it is a legendary land of nowhere?"
With this in mind, Sean carried his suitcase and held on to the gangway, walking at the end of the queue.
On the small boat, the person in charge of rowing was the young crew member who had assisted Sean in the emerald necklace incident.
He knew that "Mr. Dirac" was about to disembark, so he specially took the job and greeted Sean and his party with extra enthusiasm.
Sean nodded in greeting and turned to observe the passengers who were also going to Avalon Island.
Sarah's family was walking in front of Sean. Mr. Nash was carrying two large boxes of luggage, and Mrs. Sarah was holding little Anna's hand. Little Anna was jumping down the gangway step by step, looking back at Sean from time to time.
At this moment, there were two pairs of passengers already sitting on the boat.
One of the pairs, Sean and his party had seen before - the woman with long wavy hair, wearing a red dress, sexy and mysterious temperament, and the burly man following her, with a fierce look on his face, who looked like a explorer. .
The other pair had not been seen before. The young man had his chestnut hair combed back clearly. He was wearing a plaid suit and was handsome. Next to him sat a man wearing a straw hat with soft hair under the straw hat. He looked very beautiful and gentle, and seemed a little shy. woman.
The young man was looking at Avalon Island with its harbor and lighthouse in the distance, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Walking to the boat, Sean and Moonlight helped Sarah and her family get on the boat in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you, boys." After getting on the boat, Sarah took Sean's hand and patted the back of his hand warmly.
It feels like I have become very familiar with Sarah's family, like relatives traveling together.
As soon as they sat down, the young man rowing the boat stood up and counted the number of people: "One, two, three..."
When he counted to eleven, he murmured: "There is one more..."
"Wait!" People who were already sitting on the boat turned to look at the figure who was getting off the gangway.
"I wanted to take a nap, but I overslept!" The voice, tone and figure were all very familiar.
Solomon, a short, fat, famous European detective with a mustache, walked down in a somewhat embarrassed manner carrying his luggage.
