Sean clenched the receiver in his hand: "You mean, the matter of the old Kensington Park site can no longer be pursued?"
He was worried that the New Testament detective opposite him would give the answer "yes".
Because that means that it will be difficult for him to fulfill his promise to Thomas.
Soon, Arthur replied: "Sean, if you really have a reason to go, you must know that if you have enough strength, there is no place in New Testament City that explorers cannot go.
"After all, those people standing in the cloud only 'tacitly agree' to its existence and will not really interfere with the rules of the exploration industry.
"Because that means moving from light to darkness.
"And those who profit from darkness still have to live in the light...
"So if you really have a reason to go, no one can stop you."
"But..." After a moment of pause, Arthur Merlin continued: "The evil there cannot be underestimated. You must be careful."
"I understand." Sean nodded heartily, "Thank you Arthur."
"You're welcome, let's keep in touch."
After hanging up the phone, Sean and Yueguang looked at each other, and their hearts settled down——
On the other end of the phone, Arthur Merlin hung up the phone on an old telephone set embedded in an ancient stone wall and entangled with vines.
He walked out of the dark corridor, and the telephone that was out of place with the era disappeared in the darkness.
In the distance, three of his teammates were sitting and relaxing.
A lineup of three Aces - Arthur suddenly realized that he rarely felt luxurious with such a configuration.
It seems that abundant resources are not a good thing. he thought mockingly.
But at this moment, the New Testament detective didn't look relaxed.
He had a good impression of his stubborn, young, and smart reading club colleague.
Considering the muddy waters that current New Testament reporters might have flowed into, Arthur was a little nervous about Sean's prospects.
In the distance of the ancient city, a red sun that does not belong to this era is falling into darkness.
In Jericho, evil is rising one after another, and they are planning to fight back against these uninvited people.
Arthur lit a cigarette, and his face, illuminated by the bloody sunset, had an unruly expression: "Whatever...
"Move on, Sean."
The three Aces suddenly stood up, followed their captain, and continued to move forward.
——
Realizing that he could only rely on his own strength to save Mrs. Dominic's soul, Sean's heart calmed down.
He first returned to the orphanage, and under the current shortage of manpower, he recruited Father Taylor, who showed great strength.
Then, the three began to discuss how to "sneak into" Midnight Paradise.
——Obviously, the biggest problem now is that without the golden ticket, they cannot enter the spiritual world, but will only be repelled by the darkness.
“Sean,” Moonlight suggested, sitting in Taylor’s office, “counting Wordsworth’s old ticket stubs and the one I got from Little Lyon, we now have two tickets.
"Why don't we get another one from a mentally depressed child in Aaliyah's class...
"With three tickets, I believe we will have a way to get in there."
Sean quickly overturned Moonlight's suggestion: "In any case, those two explorers, the mysterious gentleman and the person who shot at me, have already seen our masks...
"Plus..." Sean shook his head, "The people who got the tickets were all children. The three of us took the ticket stubs to check the tickets... Aren't we just throwing ourselves into a trap?"
In Yueguang's mind, the scene of the three of them checking tickets with a group of children appeared...
It's really ridiculous and unnatural.
Therefore, you do not have a ticket to enter Midnight Paradise, you also need to...
"Then what should we do? Can we just pretend to be a child?" Father Taylor sat upright and said casually.
Sean's eyes lit up and he raised a finger: "Yes, that's the idea!"
Father Taylor looked at Sean in surprise, because he just said it casually, but now that he thinks about it carefully, this idea is a bit ridiculous——
After all, he has come into contact with many divine spells of the Salvation Cult, some of which make people full of holy energy, some of which make people become extremely strong for a period of time, and even make people have the power of angels...
However, he has not heard of the magic that can turn people into children.
Before the priest could ask a question, Sean's thoughts lit up like a light bulb connected to a wire, and he continued: "If there is any way to make us become children, and then use those ticket stubs, we will not be exposed... …
"That's true infiltration!"
Understanding Sean's thoughts, Moonlight continued: "However, there are several prerequisites for that kind of transformation.
"First, the time must be long enough, at least two hours. Otherwise, if we return to our original state in Midnight Paradise, we will be exposed immediately...
"Second, we must maintain the same strength even after the transformation, otherwise, we will not be able to bring back Mrs. Dominic's soul..."
Sean nodded repeatedly. Father Taylor, who was outside the explorer system, had never imagined that such a possibility existed in the world. He could only listen to the communication between the two professional explorers with some surprise.
In the end, Sean and Moonlight finalized their current goal: to find a way to transform the three of them into children for a period of time within the Explorers Association.
Whether it is a special potion, some mysterious legacy, or some weird magic, as long as it can meet the standards mentioned by Moonlight, it is acceptable.
However, it is conceivable that such a "service" must be expensive.
After determining the direction, Sean and Yueguang agreed to go to the association tomorrow to inquire, then they said goodbye to the priest and went home...
Saving Mrs. Dominic's soul seemed destined to be ill-fated.
On the second day, after searching through all the explorer resources they could think of, Sean and Moonlight had to entrust a "mysterious agent" who seemed unreliable. In the end, they only found a strange thing that could make people... Temporarily becoming a "dwarf" is not so much a transformation as a mysterious legacy of a curse...
"The Head of the Deep Gnome".
Holding a handful of dry long hair in one hand, he held up the strange head of the "underground dwarf" that was obviously rotten but still rolling his eyes. His face was covered by a rough wooden mask. The possession of that object The reporter asked impatiently in a voice with a strong accent: "How is it? I have to think about it carefully. I am still in a hurry..."
Sean looked through the "sample photos" that the other party brought over. They were clearly "dwarfs" with short stature, very thick limbs and huge heads, not children...
Sean pinched the bridge of his nose, remembering the scene where a few dwarfs were mixed up in the children's team and were picked up by the fallen explorer. He felt a little want to laugh, but also a little irritated...
"Man, what I told that person was to turn into a child!" Moonlight spent a certain amount of agency fees to ask that "connected" person, but she didn't expect that what the person found was such a voodoo object... …
The pianist was a little embarrassed.
The wooden mask shrugged, "Child, dwarf...what's the difference?
"If you ask me, children are just dwarfs who like to yell!"
"Let's go." Before he could get angry, Sean returned the photos of the dwarf to the other party.
The other party looked at each other with the underground dwarf in his hand, and while muttering, "What is the difference between a dwarf and a child..." he put away the photo and walked away angrily.
Holding his chin, Sean looked at his partner with some melancholy: "What should we do now?"
Yue Guang leaned back on the chair without any strength...
He has exhausted every avenue he could find...
Only then did he realize that his connections seemed a bit unreliable: "Oh."
Looking out the window beside him melancholy, the sharp-eyed pianist saw a strange thing on the edge of the Silent Street...
He frowned slightly, stared carefully for a while, then bumped Sean's leg and pointed in that direction: "Sean, look over there..."
Following the pointing of the moonlight, the New Testament reporter looked in that direction.
Then, Sean narrowed his eyes——
He saw a little girl standing at the edge of Silent Street.
She was wearing a red dress with white spots, white stockings and red leather shoes. She waved to people passing by and handed out something...
If that's all she is, she's just an ordinary girl handing out flyers.
The strange thing is that the little girl has a huge rabbit head on her shoulder.
Perhaps, in the eyes of passers-by, it was just a girl wearing a hood.
However, Sean and Yueguang, as explorers, can see that the rabbit head does not seem to be a decoration...
The huge rabbit head with red eyes and white rabbit fur seemed to grow out of the little girl's shoulders.
It's just like……
Sean's eyes suddenly opened wide: just like those children he saw in the darkness in Kensington Park!
