From the strength of the handshake, Sean could feel Charlie Jojo's gratitude: "Mr. Dickinson, thank you for waking me up from my dream."
"As a fellow Explorer, this is what I should do."
For being able to complete all the tasks entrusted by Arthur Merlin, Sean felt a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in his heart at this moment.
The trip to Ocean City, which was originally full of crises, is now considered to have cleared up the fog.
"What are your plans next?" Sean asked considering that the other party had lost his identity as "Mr. Rum".
Qiaoqiao shrugged: "I think I will leave this city - you know, it is really crazy here..."
"Besides..." the comedian looked in the direction of the room, and the two of them could see Kate's big eyes, "I want to leave with these children."
Somewhat to Sean's surprise, the New Testament reporter raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you want to adopt them and take them to live on land?"
"Yes." Charlie Jojo said with a smile on his face, "They...although they are very naughty, they are just like my and Fergie's children.
“Ocean City is so sick that I have to take them to a safer environment.
“I want to go back to New Testament City and live with them.”
Sean had previously been vaguely worried about the future of Dingo Park.
On the one hand, they are still just children; on the other hand, Ocean City is still not a happy town...
Hearing that Qiaoqiao was taking them away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I think we will meet again, Mr. Dickinson." Qiao Qiao smiled with white teeth, making Sean feel as if he was watching a movie screen. "I hope good luck will always be with you...
"God favors the seeker."
"God favors the seeker."
After saying goodbye to Jojo and Dingo Park, Sean returned to Ecstasy Mansion and immediately found Aaliyah in the room, who was protected by Moonlight, Olivia and Ivan.
Not even leaving Ocean City, Sean won't let his guard down for a moment.
After entering the room, he saw Olivia sitting on the chair closest to the room, looking guarded and guarded.
Evan Burns was in a relatively relaxed state, but his ectoplasm extended outside the room, and invisible sparrows were constantly scanning the surroundings.
Moonlight was sitting on a chair, holding the old Miss White in his hands, and seriously telling the stories he had experienced with Sean before.
Aaliyah was lying on the bed, holding her face in her hands, listening intently to Moonlight's story.
"...Sean drove the car, and I sat in the back seat to take care of the poor nun. As a result, we both heard a burst of angels singing from the sky..."
"Are you chasing me?! Egwen?" Aaliyah turned over and sat up, looking quite nervous.
Sean patted Olivia on the shoulder and walked into the room: "Moonlight, old man, don't tell her these disturbing stories - be careful she can't sleep at night."
Hearing what her brother said, Aaliyah wrinkled her nose and pouted her pink mouth slightly, revealing the familiar delicate look of Sean: "Sean, I'm not a child anymore!"
"Okay, okay!" Sean raised his hand and said, "You can listen to these stories. But we have to pack our bags now. The cruise to New Testament will be arriving soon!
"Don't pester Yue Guang for now. We'll have plenty of time when we get to the ship."
When she heard that she could take a cruise, Aaliyah was so happy that she stood up and was about to help Sean pack his luggage.
Hearing that they were leaving this place and returning to the New Testament, Yueguang, Ivan and Olivia exchanged looks, and they were all obviously relieved - they no longer wanted to stay here any longer.
After spending about an hour packing up, Sean first called Alicia Pompeo to inform him of his next destination, and then went to Tesler's office to say goodbye in person.
Afterwards, he went to Detective Solomon's room and found the European detective who had packed up and Benjamin Button who was still asleep. The group rushed directly to the entry-exit elevator.
At Nikolai Tesler's request, their departure procedures were given priority, and they rushed to the entry-exit elevator hall and were let through directly.
Sitting in the same elevator as when he came in, slowly rising from the bottom of the sea to the ground, Sean felt as if he was just waking up from a big dream.
The elevator stopped and the metal door slowly opened.
They walked out of a large house disguised as a lumber warehouse behind the big lighthouse.
At this time, the sun has set, and the stars that have not been seen for a long time are shining in the sky.
Coming from the closed Ocean City to the outside world, there is a feeling of open world.
Aaliyah took a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze.
The heavy heart that was originally shackled is much lighter now.
She looked at Sean and his friends under the night sky, feeling inexplicably safe.
At this time, the spotlight on the Avalon Lighthouse was rotating silently, illuminating the dark sea by chance.
In the distance, the whistle of the cruise ship came, empty and distant.
"Let's go." Sean picked up his luggage and walked at the front.
——
With the help of the crew, everyone boarded the "Silver Star" cruise ship.
Sean didn't feel relieved until the boat was taken back to the cruise ship, until the cruise ship gradually sailed away from Avalon Island amidst the sound of the whistle, and until the light of the lighthouse on Avalon Island gradually turned into a candle in the dark night.
He was very worried that other changes would occur in Ocean City, which would take away the sister he had worked so hard to rescue again.
"Sean, you can relax." Moonlight, who was smoking a Swan brand cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at his friend beside him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Sean hasn't spoken a word since leaving Ocean City.
Moonlight knew her friend very well - he was too nervous.
Sean sighed slightly and relaxed his grip on the railing of the gangway.
From the cabin behind, a boy's faintly waking voice came out: "Where am I?...Who are you?"
When she heard Benjamin's movements in her cabin, Aaliyah ran over quickly: "Benjamin, you finally woke up!"
Aaliyah began to comfort Benjamin Button, who was a little panicked after waking up.
The young master of the Barton family has suffered a lot and been frightened a lot along the way. It seems that only Aaliyah, who has always relied on each other, can calm him down.
He didn't ask any more questions, just listened to Aaliyah and Solomon telling everything.
Sean turned his head and looked at the black sea between Avalon Island and Silver Star, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
It was like a dark cloud suddenly blocked the sun.
He looked at the moonlight beside him, and the pianist also frowned.
"Did you feel it too?" Moonlight asked.
Sean nodded: "It seems that the integration of the Dream Son and Kluwetan is about to be completed."
The sea behind the ship was like thick clouds, and in the distant depths of the "clouds", a burst of green light suddenly bloomed.
Like huge fireworks blooming in the fog.
Standing on the gangway, unsuspecting tourists pointed at the green sea.
At this moment, Sean suddenly remembered his sister's other personality, Elizabeth, with the cold and vicious eyes.
Does the fusion of dreams symbolize the dissolution of the personality of the son of the dream?
Including Milton, the five sons of the Great Dream rejoined Kluwetan's dream...
Do they still have feelings of their own? Or has it become part of Kluwetan?
There are no answers to these questions that pop up in Sean's mind.
The green light temporarily disappeared, and the sea surface returned to calm.
The only thing that can be seen on the sea is the light of the Avalon Lighthouse, which is like a golden bean.
Suddenly, a green halo burst out from deep under the sea, like an aurora rippling out of the ice.
The aurora spread like an electric current to the entire ocean surface visible to the naked eye. The huge energy even stirred up a wave of waves, causing the cruise ship to shake a little...
Both Evan Burns and Olivia felt it and rushed out of the room. The four of them looked at each other in silence in the darkness.
The aurora at the bottom of the sea seemed to trigger a change in the world. In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds were like a curtain pulled up by invisible hands, blocking the originally starry night sky.
Sean knew that sensitive people all over the world would have a similar dream tonight.
A dream about R'lyeh and the dreamlike modern era.
"Kluwetan is waking up..." Sean's eyes were complicated, looking at the green aurora that was constantly spreading in the sea water.
"Nothing will ever be the same again."
