After finishing his morning visit, Sean returned to the hotel.
What he saw at the United Church still made him tremble a little.
“Have all the modern gods fallen?
"Who polluted and controlled them?
“What is the purpose of that existence?
"Why is the chief god of the Utopia still vacant?"
"All this to fight against the Salvationists?"
The kidnapping of the prodigies, the disappearance of Jojo, the theft carried out by the queen...
Everything connected together just as Sean thought.
The closer he got to the truth, the more Sean felt a chill.
"There must be something in the bodies of Aaliyah, Neil Gate, and Benji Buttonmin that the Judas Ring needs.
"Besides their excellent artistic talent, what else do they have in common?..."
As his thoughts continued, Randy, the tour guide who was dealing with something at the front desk, walked up to Sean.
"Mr. Dirac, my colleague who went to church today said that he accidentally saw you at the United Church..." Randy grinned with his braces shining, and his smile was somewhat flattering.
"Yeah, I'm very interested in the evolution of faith, so I went to take a look." Although Sean, who had always been alert, knew that he had not been followed and was only seen by chance, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Oh, that's good..." Randy hesitated, thinking about his words for a while, "Uh, Mr. Dirac, I know you are a reporter...
"There are regulations in Ocean City that content involving the United Church is not suitable for public release at the moment."
Sean raised his eyebrows: "You mean, I can't write about the United Church?"
Randy was a little afraid of Sean's angry look, and quickly explained: "You also know that the Salvation Church has very strict control over belief...
“The United Church is a unique product of Ocean City and may not yet be accepted by the mainstream.
"If you report it hastily, it may arouse the resentment of the Holy Court - this is not good for the development of Ocean City..."
Sean had no need to attract attention and shrugged: "Don't worry - learning about various beliefs is just my hobby, and my reporting will never involve religion.
"Don't wade into the muddy waters of faith - this is also the philosophy of our newspaper."
In Randy's grateful eyes, Sean left.
To Sean, it was clear that Ocean City wanted to hide some secrets from the outside world.
Moonlight and Ivan hadn't come back yet, so Sean and Olivia returned to their room first.
Sit at your desk and diffuse the spiritual essence.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Sean took out the black-on-gold pen and started writing on the paper in front of him.
This pen writes smoothly, produces ink evenly, and makes a "rustling" sound when rubbed on slightly rough paper - writing with it is a pleasure.
Although I knew that writing with this pen was a secret communication channel, for the sake of safety, I still modified my words and sentences to make the expression as obscure as possible.
As if writing a letter to an old friend, Sean first complained about the heresy and fanaticism of the beliefs here, and explained that he had a nightmare about the imprisonment and corruption of the modern gods.
"Holy Father bless me, I hope these evil dreams are not a bad omen..."
Then, he began to complain that the food was not only unpalatable, but even a little strange - after eating it, people traveling with him would have strange changes in their words, deeds, and even personalities...
"Everything is a little strange and creepy. I regret coming here..."
Finally, he wrote in the letter: "As for the friend you asked me to find, you gave me too little information. I wonder if you can give me more relevant information?
"Best regards. Yours faithfully—Wayne Dirac."
After finishing writing, Sean quickly turned over the full paper, held the pen easily, and placed the pen tip at the beginning of the letter.
After waiting for about a minute, the pen tip was pressed on it and started writing on its own.
Although Sean was holding a pen and seemed to be writing, the handwriting that appeared on it was very different from just now.
Seems more wild and lazy.
"Mr. Dirac, it is a great pleasure to receive your letter..."
Arthur Merlin also used the same tone of correspondence.
“I know everything you said about Ocean City.
"It seems that it is not a resort with simple folk customs...
"It's really hard for you to make this trip."
After several contacts, I found that Merlin was a bit talkative at times - Sean narrowed his eyes and continued reading patiently.
"Having nightmares in a foreign land is not a wonderful experience. If your mental state is not good, it is recommended not to go to places involving heretical beliefs.
"I think you should focus on helping me find that excellent lady first. She will definitely give you some wise suggestions and advice. In this way, everything should go smoother."
Merlin was hinting that Sean should make finding the "Queen" a priority - this also coincided with the discussion results of Sean's team.
"It seems that the difficulty of this word puzzle game is a bit too high. If the solver has no clue, the game will lose its fun..."
"I will reveal some more information about that lady to you.
“She is a successful woman, so she never travels alone.
"Her make-up artist, assistant and florist would often follow her...
After writing some reminders to pay attention to outside and wishing a smooth trip, the pen stopped writing.
Sean stood up and lit the letter written on both sides with a lighter, and the ashes were washed into the sewer in batches.
Returning to his chair, Sean fell into deep thought.
“Makeup artist, assistant and florist?
“Members of the Queen’s team?
“The makeup artists and assistants are easy to understand…
"Why are you bringing the gardener with you?
"What identity does the gardener refer to?"
As his thoughts spread, the door was knocked at a unique rhythm. Sean quickly opened the door, and the returning Moonlight and Ivan entered the door.
After exchanging information, Yueguang said with a look of surprise on his face: "You will definitely not guess who I met in the business district..."
"who?"
"'Mom' Wendy!"
Sean frowned and thought about it for a moment before remembering the Daedalus personnel who came with the Holy Infant Sanctuary during the horrific incident in Levin Town.
A woman with orange hair, a strong build, and a hot temper.
Doting on the Holy Infant in the sanctuary. I know "Thug" Carlos, but the relationship doesn't seem to be very good.
"Wendy is in Ocean City?"
Sean, who was a little surprised at first, realized that Daedalus' headquarters was here, so it was no surprise that Wendy was here.
"She is an insider of Daedalus, maybe there will be more information?" Moonlight said, "However, to be on the safe side, Ivan and I did not take the initiative to contact her.
"It's more reliable to leave this kind of matter to you."
The function of a journalist is to be thoughtful and considerate...
Moonlight and Ivan trust Sean's judgment and handling very much.
Sean is very satisfied with his teammates' caution.
"Where is she?" The search from the outside world continues, and the Queen is still hiding in the city...
time does not wait.
After the small gathering, Sean couldn't wait to leave now.
"Business district." Moonlight said, "She opened a precision alchemy shop called 'Wendy's Precision Workshop'."
After hearing what Ivan said, Sean grabbed his coat and hat, asked about the approximate location of the store, spoke quickly about the arrangements for the afternoon, and took Olivia out the door.
