Mr. Jung ordered the servant to pour a glass of hot milk for Leon and put a gray wool blanket on the child.
"Mr. Dickinson..." Leon sniffed and smiled a little tiredly, "Long time no see."
Touching Leon's head, Sean smiled and said: "Long time no see - Leon, are you feeling better?"
Holding the hot porcelain cup, Leon Garcia looked tired, but still energetic. He nodded.
Sean sighed, squatted in front of Leon, and asked softly: "Leon, what happened?"
Leon put down the milk in his hand and glanced at his mother timidly.
Mrs. Garcia had a soft expression and nodded encouragingly.
Leon then said slowly: "A few days ago, I had a dream...
"In the dream, there was an older brother who invited me to play with him."
"Wait a minute." Sean's pupils shrank suddenly, "How old is that brother, what does he look like, and what clothes is he wearing?"
Sean asked three times in a row, leaving Leon in a daze. However, he still recalled and said: "He should be two years older than me. His skin is very white, as white as milk. His hair is meticulous and he is dressed in black. The suit, at first glance, looks like... that kind of young master from a wealthy family."
Sean turned back and looked at the moonlight.
The pianist also frowned.
This is exactly the same as the boy in the nightmare described by Thomas!
Sean swallowed his saliva and asked slightly nervously: "Then what?"
"Then..." Little Leon blinked, "Then I agreed, and he gave me something...
"After I got that thing, I felt very..." Little Leon looked at the window behind Sean, his eyes empty, "I was very happy!
"I learned that from then on, the night would be my moment of joy..."
"What did he give you?" Sean narrowed his eyes.
Lyon's every move cannot escape the eyes of New Testament reporters.
After just saying that the boy gave him something, little Leon put his hand into the pocket of his pajamas.
After Sean asked what it was, Leon didn't answer and seemed to tighten his grip on the thing in his hand.
Mrs. Garcia also noticed something strange about Leon. She stared at him patiently: "Leon...
"You know the right thing to do."
Leon swallowed his saliva and lowered his head, seemingly caught in a huge contradiction.
It seemed hard to let go of something that represented a happy time.
After a long time, the little boy raised his head, and seemed to spend a lot of effort to take out what he had hidden in his pocket——
It was a golden ticket with the words "Midnight Paradise" on it.
This ticket is much newer than the one Wordsworth had.
Sean took the ticket.
The golden ticket stub reflected the light, illuminating the shocked faces of Sean and Yueguang...
——
"It's certain." After bidding farewell to Mr. Jung and sending the Garcia mother and son back, on the way back in the car, Sean remembered the two ticket stubs, one old and one new, hidden in his pocket...
"The clues provided by Wordsworth, the nightmare boy who harassed Dominic's family, and the culprit who possessed Leon...
"It's all pointing to the same goal."
The Lord of "Midnight Paradise".
A nightmare boy who doesn't know where to go.
That creepy nursery rhyme about... Peter Pan.
"There is both good news and bad news..." Moonlight held the window with one hand and looked out at the sleeping streets. "The good news is that we already know who took Mrs. Dominic away and where she was taken...
"The bad news is..." Moonlight turned her head and looked at her partner.
The bad news speaks for itself.
An existence that can create an "independent spiritual world".
The "Watch Dogs" alone are two menacing corrupted explorers...
This still seems not to be a task that our team is fully qualified for.
Sean stared at the road and fell into silence...
After a long while, he said: "We won't discuss it today. Let's rest when we get home——
"I promised to take Aaliya to a new restaurant for dinner tomorrow...
"If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
——
It seems that as long as he can go out with Aaliyah Dickinson, Sean will temporarily let go of his frown and fully enjoy the moment.
The car was parked in the parking lot of a restaurant called Black Castle.
Aaliyah wore a plaid skirt today, as if she had gone back to the time when she went for a picnic in the countryside of Green. After getting off the car, she walked ahead with excitement.
With the excuse of "for the convenience of discussing the case", Moonlight also came. Today he was wearing a gray suit, a deerstalker hat of the same color, and a polished red pipe in his mouth.
To Sean's expectation, the business of this simply decorated restaurant was unexpectedly good.
The restaurant was full of people, and many people bought food directly and left with paper bags.
I thought that the newly opened "Black Castle" in New York City would be a high-end restaurant where you can sit down and eat slowly. Moonlight, who was a bit picky about food, had a lot of expectations due to a certain psychological gap, but he hid it well.
The group walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window to sit down. After the waiter came over, they each ordered the food they seemed to want to eat...
Just as he was about to continue yesterday's topic, the waiter came over with a tray full of food.
Small square burgers wrapped in paper, perfectly fried thick fries, and golden banana pie...
Seeing her brother and Yueguang looking a little surprised at the speed of the meal, Aaliyah smiled mysteriously: "They got inspiration from the assembly line for making cars and used the same method to make burgers..."
Fast food that is common on the streets has been moved into restaurants...
Moonlight, who adhered to tradition, looked at the small burger in her hand with a critical eye, which she seemed to be able to eat in two bites.
"Quite...interesting."
However, he still had that patient smile on his face——
How can this kind of thing compare to the food in a serious restaurant?
Forget it, just think of it as hanging out with Aaliyah... Don't be too particular.
With such a mood, Moonlight opened the paper package and took a bite of the Little Man's burger.
Um?
The beef patty is fried to perfection, the cheese is melted on top, and the chopped onions and pickles are refreshing and balance the taste...
While chewing, he opened his eyes wide: It seems...
Aaliya also took a bite, with a bit of cheese on her lips. She seemed to have anticipated Moonlight's reaction and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
This thing...
Moonlight looked at the burger with its own tooth marks on its fingertips:
This stuff is quite delicious!
——
Half an hour later, Moonlight drank the last bit of orange juice in the paper cup, covered her mouth and suppressed a burp.
The result is twelve small burgers...
Three more than Sean.
He was in a daze while picking his teeth, and his obsession with luxurious restaurants was shattered.
"Times have changed..."
The pianist, who had previously been prejudiced against all restaurants where piano could not be played, had to sort out his "gourmet list".
Castle Black's hamburger beats out Harlem's cheese omelet...
"Isn't the piano becoming obsolete?" Yueguang thought with some melancholy after finishing her meal.
"I thought carefully about Midnight Paradise yesterday." Sean's voice lifted Moonlight out of her melancholy as she was reassembling her worldview. "Perhaps, we can no longer rely solely on our own strength."
With the entire Explorer system behind him, Sean suddenly realized that he could use a power much stronger than his own...
to achieve your goals.
Moonlight obviously agreed very much: "I think so too - leave Ace's to Ace, and let King-level complete the King-level tasks."
"That's the truth."
During the meal break, she heard Sean and Moonlight chatting about the orphans who had just lost their mothers and the children who were almost trapped in the horror amusement park. Aaliyah said with a somewhat serious expression: "I am a little worried after hearing what you just said..."
"What's wrong, Ellie?"
Aaliyah looked at the moonlight and then at her brother: "Recently, some students in my class have become a little strange..."
