Everyone in the room all agreed with Mr. Jung's statement.
That valuable golden statue looked too much like a bait.
It can be said that this is an obvious trap.
“Set such a big bait, that is to say,” Moonlight held up her mirror mask, “Peter Pan hopes that more people will come to Midnight Paradise on the opening day.
"But what good will it do him?"
There was no answer, just silence in the room.
"There is another idea..." Father Taylor seemed to have a habit of putting his clenched fist under his nose when he was thinking, "The three Dorins sisters disappeared ten years ago.
"Suppose the shadow on the wall is Peter Pan, or Peter Pan's men.
“Perhaps, this means that Midnight Paradise has existed at least ten years ago.
"Is it possible that..." Father Taylor raised his head and made eye contact with Sean, "This is not the first 'open day' of Midnight Paradise?"
Sean and Yueguang stood up straight at the same time, with expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces.
Midnight Paradise has existed for more than ten years. If this is not the first opening day, then there must have been explorers who have participated in this event...
As long as you find such explorers and ask them in detail, you can learn a lot.
After being inspired by Father Taylor, Sean and Moonlight picked up their coats and walked out the door resolutely.
The remaining two old men looked at each other and smiled tolerantly at the young man's enthusiasm.
——
Although their search for a way to transform into children had hit a wall before, Sean and Moonlight were not without success.
They accidentally learned that the best place to go to get "tattletales" about the Quest industry was the "Centennial Tavern" located on the 6th floor of the Quest Spiritual Monastery.
The two brothers who run the tavern, Louis and Steve, have almost mastered all the "undercurrents" of the little secrets.
However, if you want to hear their secrets, there are a few undisclosed requirements:
They don't entertain underwhelming explorers. Louis and Steve refused to share any secrets if a seeker had a bad reputation or if his purpose was to harm others.
The questions asked by the explorer and the people or events they point to cannot exceed his own level.
They will never touch issues involving the explorer's true identity.
The last one is...
Have a drink and ask a question.
Three cups is appropriate, any more would be considered too much.
"Look who's here..." Brother Steve, who has fish eyes, looks kinder than Louis, who rarely smiles, "The Soloist under the Moon and the Sea of Glimmer!
"Two famous Queens!"
"Come on Steve..." Moonlight waved her hand, seeming to hear the tavern owner's complaint about their long absence.
After all, Steve and Louis were quite fond of the pair.
Soloists under the moon can play great tunes, and Sea of Shimmers not only drinks well, but also drinks well...
The tavern brothers naturally miss them.
Louis, who was busy in the warehouse, actually walked out when he heard Steve's voice.
After he nodded briefly to say hello, he stood behind the bar. Although he was silent, it was the most enthusiastic expression.
"What would you like to drink?"
"You have a kind of wine... called 'telling the truth when drunk', right?"
Steve and Louis looked at each other, and the former shrugged: "It seems that our Queen-level rookie is already very good."
"There is indeed such a wine." Both Steve and Louis leaned down, with their brother acting as the spokesperson, and said in a low voice, "However, don't let the 'big shots' know, especially...well, especially risk control The Ministry of Os..."
Snapped! Louis slapped his brother on the arm: "Don't say her real name!"
Steve sighed helplessly: "Especially the devil in the risk control department - she has warned us many times."
"Okay." Thinking of Ms. Austin, who perfectly combines majesty and coldness, one of the most powerful people in the association, with a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see everything, Sean also felt a little chilly in his heart, "No leaks."
The two brothers took matters into their own hands and quickly prepared two glasses of wine without saying anything...
It turns out that the so-called "telling the truth when drunk" is Gin and Tonic.
Sean quite likes this refreshing and straightforward wine.
When the soloist and Shimmering Sea took a sip, the two brothers leaned on the bar with their elbows and leaned forward: "If you have any questions, just ask."
"How much do you know about the opening day of 'Midnight Paradise'?"
Louis tilted his head and said in a rare move: "Many people have received complimentary tickets recently... Man, our advice is simple - it's best not to go."
"Why?"
Steve tilted his head: "Every two or three years, that weird amusement park will give away free tickets to ordinary citizens and explorers...
"As far as we know, something terrible always happens there on opening day."
Yueguang frowned in confusion: "Since there are civilian casualties, why don't the correctional center and the association ignore it?"
The two brothers shrugged, showing expressions of "that's how things always happen" and "we don't know what to say either".
Steve waved his hand and said to Moonlight, who sometimes had simple thoughts: "Many more people die in accidents in Yellowstone National Park every year, and the Divine Palace has not closed the park.
"During the construction of the Kingdom of God Building, thirteen construction workers died, but the Kingdom of God Building was still completed..."
"Hundreds of explorers lose their souls in Undercurrent Street every year, and the association only distributes leaflets admonishing them not to go."
"Sometimes, many things are not as simple as 'education officers catching evil believers'."
Moonlight made a gesture of "Okay, I understand", indicating that Sean could continue to ask questions.
"If there has been an open day before, do you know any explorers who have been to the open day?"
As if Sean asked a slightly "taboo" question, the two brothers exchanged nervous looks...
"This question... you have to take a big sip."
The atmosphere at this moment seemed that if the questioners were not Sean and Moonlight, they would not tell the secret.
The two naturally drank a big gulp of gin and tonic in coordination. At this moment, other guests happened to arrive. Steve went to receive them enthusiastically, leaving Louis to face Sean and Moonlight.
Louis continued: “We know of a guy who went to the park’s opening day and came back.
"Moreover, he knows everything about Midnight Paradise better than many people..."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because..." Louis sighed, "He was the ultimate winner of the Opening Day game that year."
The gold statue is worth $18,000.
If the value of the prizes at the opening days in previous years is also at this level, it is difficult to say that this guy is not enviable...
"Where is he?" This was a somewhat sensitive question, but Sean asked it anyway.
Louis lowered his head even lower, as if putting his mouth to Sean and Yueguang's ears:
"He, since the opening day, he has become a little... crazy.
"Later, I committed a crime...
"The Inquisition of Questers sentenced him—"
"The five-year sentence is still there..." Louis pointed to the ground. The place he pointed to passed through the floors and went straight to the ground. "There is atonement."
