"Moonlight!" Sean stood up suddenly and walked quickly outside, "I have seen such a child in the darkness in Kensington Park!"
Skunk, white rabbit, elk, tabby cat, leopard...
There are different heads on the child's body, reaching out towards him in the darkness...
At first, Sean thought it was just a strange symbolic intention.
Perhaps, it represents the soul permanently imprisoned in Midnight Paradise.
However, he never thought that he could see such a child near Silent Street!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Sean frowned tightly and rushed out of the elevator with his heart pounding and ran towards the street.
Olivia, who was hiding outside Silent Street, received Sean's instructions and rushed towards the child from another direction.
"Sean, be careful! -" Moonlight shouted, "Are you coming for us?!"
As he ran and looked back, Sean realized that Moonlight had a point.
After all, they were the ones who took Lyon away.
Based on the way that "Peter Pan" behaves, this is most likely directed at him.
At this time, Sean had already rushed out of the edge of Silent Street.
Not far ahead, the white rabbit girl is still handing out something in a crowded area.
Sean, who originally planned to watch quietly from a distance, suddenly saw a boy with a squirrel head running towards him.
Sean's ectoplasmic tentacles have already grasped the Colt M1911A1 in the gun bag.
The little squirrel-headed boy who ran over said to Sean: "Sir, the 'Opening Day' of Midnight Paradise is coming, and this is a free ticket given to you."
In this weird atmosphere, Sean had a ridiculous feeling - there was some power in the dark that was rationalizing these weird things that happened in broad daylight.
Those children, indeed, seemed to be wearing various animal hoods and were handing out something along the street.
People were in a hurry, some took what they gave, some just ignored it...
Everything is so natural.
“If you participate in the game on the opening day, you will have a chance to win a grand prize worth 18,000 New Zealand dollars!”
The moonlight stopped behind Sean and heard what the little boy said.
The two of them took a white envelope handed over by the little boy with slightly surprised expressions.
Midnight park opening day?
Peter Pan knew I was looking for him, so he extended the invitation?
Sean looked up suspiciously, only to see...
Three or four of the same children were saying the same words to other passers-by:
"Sir, the 'Opening Day' of Midnight Paradise is coming, and here are the tickets given to you for free..."
“If you participate in the game on the opening day, you will have a chance to win big prizes!”
They not only hand these envelopes into the hands of ordinary passers-by, but also to people wearing Seeker masks.
In the crowd, Sean and Yueguang looked at each other in shock...
The two people who didn't know how to sneak into "Midnight Paradise" actually got free tickets for the opening day issued by "Midnight Paradise".
That "Peter Pan"...
What the hell is going on?
——
Almost no one can answer Sean's current doubts, but the New Testament reporter believes that you can always hear valuable suggestions by asking experienced elders.
What's more, the two elders he met, one is a senior exorcist and the other is a giant in contemporary psychology.
Regarding why Sean received a ticket to the park when he wanted to enter the park...
"I call it the 'synchronicity' phenomenon. (Note 1)" In his study, Carl Jung lit his pipe and threw out the match
“What is synchronicity?”
Jung took a drag on his pipe and exhaled the smoke as he said: "There once was a female client who came to me for psychological consultation.
“She said she often sees a scarab in her dreams and she doesn’t know what it means.
"While she was lying comfortably on the sofa and telling me this...
"A beetle just flew outside the window.
"As if obeying the will of God, I picked up the beetle and put it in the hand of the female guest..."
He chewed his pipe lightly and spoke: "Some seemingly coincidental things happened in a destined way...
"This kind of thing that is difficult to explain with reason and probability is a 'synchronic phenomenon'."
Father Taylor on the side nodded: "It is undeniable that such unexplainable coincidences often occur in life."
Sean's brows relaxed: In other words... it's like fate.
At this time, Father Taylor had already opened one of the envelopes——
There was no writing on the white letterhead, only a golden wax seal with the letter P pressed out, giving it a mysterious and formal feel.
Inside the envelope was a welcome letter and a silver ticket with the words "Opening Day Guests Only" written on it.
Father Taylor quickly read the handwritten invitation letter and roughly understood what the writer wanted to express.
"That is to say..." the priest said, "The Lord of Midnight Paradise, Peter Pan, has designated the day after tomorrow as the opening day of 'Midnight Paradise'...
"By then, anyone who gets a complimentary ticket will be able to enter the park for free."
"He is really confident." Moonlight looked coldly at the four opened envelopes they brought back and now placed on the table.
“Initially, I thought that everything that happened in Kensington Park must be another secret that had to be kept hidden for fear of being known to the outside world...
"Unexpectedly, he seemed to have no fear of being discovered."
"Of course." Sean said. He didn't say much about the association's acquiescence in the existence of this spirit world.
Taylor's eyes returned to the letter: "The key is this paragraph...
"On the day of the opening day, the park will play a game, and the winning team will receive the grand prize on the opening day - a 55-pound golden statue of the founder of the park, worth $18,000..."
At the bottom of the invitation letter, a black and white photo of the golden statue was attached to show that what he said was true.
It was a statue of a young man in a suit, smiling, with arms outstretched, as if standing at the gate of the paradise, welcoming everyone.
18,000 New Zealand dollars is a huge fortune for any civilian in New Testament City...
A fortune that is enough to jump up his class in one fell swoop.
"It's not so much that he's not afraid of being discovered, but..." the priest took off his reading glasses, "it's better to say that he seems to want to attract more people."
Those kids who hand out free tickets for the open day do not shy away from whether they are giving out tickets to ordinary people or explorers...
You can’t afford it early if you don’t have any profit, and the bonus of up to 18,000 New Zealand dollars will definitely attract enough people to enter the park, including explorers...
The key is, why do they do this?
Staring at the silver tickets emerging from the envelope, Sean fell into deep thought.
"There is a kind of fish in the deep sea..." Mr. Jung said, "They have shiny baits to lure prey close to them, and then swallow them in one bite.
"I don't know what the creator of that paradise wanted to do.
"But what I do know is that the 55-pound golden statue...
"Definitely sparkly."
