After saying goodbye to Alicia and others, Sean led everyone to leave the industrial area.
After rescuing Benjamin Button with Sean's help, Detective Solomon has fully trusted his young colleague.
He had decided to take action with Sean before leaving Ocean City.
Everyone returned to the Ecstasy Building, and after settling in, Sean led Aaliyah to find Nikolai Tesler.
"It seems that your hard work has paid off." Seeing Sean leading Aaliyah into the office, Tesler stood up from behind the desk and said with a smile.
His face was a little pale - he seemed to be overloaded with work in order to arrange the residents' decontamination plan in Ocean City.
"You don't look good." Sean reminded, "No matter how important the work is, you must also pay attention to rest."
Tesler walked up to Sean and Aaliyah and nodded understandingly.
He shook hands with Aaliyah. The younger sister seemed to have heard of this inventor, and there was some admiration in her eyes.
"Mr. Tesler, I heard my brother mention your deeds - thank you... for your help." Aaliyah was not good at expressing herself. After saying a few words, her cheeks were already slightly red.
The Serbian inventor usually has a sad face, but now he looks at Arya with a rare smile: "Mr. Dickinson saved my life not long ago. I can't help him in any way." Not to mention helping him rescue such a lovely and polite sister."
Tesler said a few words, which made Aaliyah blush even more. She smiled sheepishly.
Thinking of the divine agent, Sean asked nervously: "Where is Sarah Nash? Has she successfully prevented what is happening outside the gate of R'lyeh?"
Tesler's expression was a little dazed - he seemed a little confused about the current situation: "She...when she arrived outside the gate, she seemed very weak...
"The last thing I saw was her collapsed in front of Milton."
Sean's eyes are slightly narrow: This means that Sarah is trapped in Milton's dream ability...
However, it is impossible to judge whether the Holy Court has mastered everything that the Judas Ring has done.
"Nicholas..." Sean looked into Tesler's eyes and said in a low voice, "I must remind you that if you insist on staying here to implement the resident decontamination plan, you may face a lot of risks.
“Soon, the Kluwetan will awaken, and perhaps your agreement with the Judas Ring can ensure Ocean City’s safety.
"However, no one knows what actions the Holy Court will take next."
Compared to the old master who was about to awaken, Sean felt that the existence sitting high in the throne of heaven was more terrifying.
"It's like piloting a ship between two warring fleets...
"What you have to do next will probably be quite difficult.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?"
Sean knew how Tesler would answer, but after experiencing life and death together, Sean still wanted to show his concern for his friend.
The Serbian inventor smiled softly: "Don't make it so scary, Sean.
"Didn't we escape from the maze island where escape is impossible?
"nothing is impossible."
Maze Island? Escape? Aaliyah, who loved adventure stories, had her eyes widened. She looked at Tesler and her brother, and she had already booked this story in her heart.
The expression on Tesler's face became more serious: "No matter what, the minds of Ocean City residents are polluted, and I have an unshirkable responsibility.
"No matter what I do next, if these contaminations are not purified, my conscience will never be at peace."
Then, his expression became more relaxed: "Don't worry, Sean, I won't die here.
"I have a feeling we will see each other again in the future."
Having said that, Sean did not persuade him any more.
"By the way." Tesler walked to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a thick envelope. "The entry and exit restrictions have been temporarily lifted. The nearest ship passing through Avalon Island is returning to Avalon Island." Those from New Testament Port, I have already booked the ferry tickets for you."
Sean took the envelope containing the boat tickets and thanked him.
"The cruise ship will arrive at Avalon Island in about four hours. If you have unfinished business in the city, it's best to take advantage of this time."
"I do still have one thing unfinished..." Sean said after putting the ticket in his pocket.
Half an hour later, Sean came to the commercial street not far away alone and knocked on the door of a flower shop.
To Sean's surprise, it was Fat Billy who opened the door: "Oh, Mr. Reporter!
"Are you here to see Mr. Rum?"
Sean nodded and walked into the flower shop.
Compared to the last time he hid in this flower shop at night during the hunt, Sean felt much more relaxed at this moment.
The Apennine painter walked out of the room at Billy's call.
When they heard that Sean was coming, all the children in the wild dog park followed him.
“Oh, there you are, Sean!
“The city has been uneasy recently, so I let these children stay at my place.
"They really couldn't stay any longer - Juan almost escaped from the sewer just now..."
The way Mr. Rum chattered on made Sean feel a little funny: "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye."
Everyone, including Mrs. Rum, was a little surprised.
Although I knew we would have to say goodbye eventually, I was still a little bit reluctant to let go when I heard the news.
"Dirty Face Princess" Kate's face has been washed clean. She has changed out of her red skirt and is wearing a pair of denim overalls.
She jumped into Sean's arms first, and then several children in Dingo Park rushed over and hugged Sean.
"Thank you, Mr. Reporter." Kate raised her head, her black eyes sparkling, "Thank you for helping us keep the secret."
Sean touched the children's heads and smiled happily.
"Oh, yes, photos!" "Minister of Glasses" Maggie raised her chubby face, her eyes magnified by the lenses, "Mr. Reporter, have you developed the photos you took for us?"
The film was still in the Zeiss camera, and Sean said, “I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t had time to develop photos.
"Let's do this. After I return to the New Testament, I will develop a few more copies of the photos and send them to you."
Several children looked at each other and smiled, looking expectant and excited - that was the only photo they took with the "big man", which had extraordinary significance.
In order to ensure that this was done well, Sean added an item to his memo in the Shengen space: develop photos for the children in "Wild Dog Park".
After saying goodbye to the children, Sean whispered to Mr. Rum: "Can I take a moment to speak?"
Rum, who was holding a wooden pipe, seemed slightly surprised, but he still nodded and followed Sean to the flower garden in the backyard.
"Mr. Rum..." Looking at the various flowers in the flower bed and smelling the fragrance, Sean said sincerely, "The flowers you planted are growing really well."
Rum grinned, biting the mouth of the pipe gently with his tiger teeth: "Yeah, right!
"It's not easy to grow flowers well in this underwater city. My wife has put in a lot of effort..."
Thinking of taking Aaliyah away from Ocean City, every pore on Sean's body felt relaxed. He said slowly: "Mr. Rum, in this Ocean City, although I don't have much interaction with you, there are some inexplicable differences between you and me. Familiarity."
When they first met, Sean mistakenly thought that Rum was a pickpocket who controlled street children, and there was a misunderstanding.
Later I found out that the Rum couple, who are vegetarians, had been helping the wild dog park that was struggling to survive.
Rum seemed to have the same feeling as Sean. He exhaled a burst of smoke and nodded slightly.
"I have to say..." Sean turned around and faced Rum, "This trip to Ocean City is like a huge maze for me.
"In order to find my family, I met a 'queen', a 'wizard', an 'inventor', a 'street child' and...'blasphemous people' in this maze.
"All kinds of people appeared in this small town, and the complicated threads of fate were intertwined, which made me dazzled.
"However, with your help, I got the chance to take Aaliyah out of here."
"However, I have never forgotten that there is one last puzzle waiting for me to solve..."
Mr. Rum shrugged, and his words still had a strong Apennine accent: "It seems that everything that happened in this short period of time will become an unforgettable memory for you."
Sean nodded in approval and said to Mr. Rum: "Before I leave Ocean City, the reason why I came here to bother you is to confirm my last guess——
"You..." Sean considered his words and continued:
"Actually, you are Mr. Charlie Jojo, right?"
