"They are not fallen explorers." Sean motioned to his teammates to observe the "mysterious gentleman" and "evil hunter".
"They are already dead...?" Obviously, Yueguang has also noticed something unnatural.
"That's right." Sean nodded, "A fallen explorer is a person who falls to the dark side and uses mysterious power to do evil.
"These 'Paradise Security Guards' are dead - they sold their souls to the owners of this spiritual realm and will serve here as security guards after death."
No peace after death?
Why would any explorer make such a decision?
Moonlight sighed a little, and then thought of the "former teammates" who lost their souls in Undercurrent Street.
"Okay..." the pianist shook his head, "that's how things are in the world...that's how things always are."
Then, Sean set his sights on the long queue...
An unexpected number of explorers came to participate in the "Open Day" event.
Sean roughly estimated that there were nearly eighteen teams of Seekers.
Most of them are Jack-level, and only about 20% are Queen...
What surprised Sean and Yueguang was that they sensed some very powerful spiritual power.
However, that spiritual power disappeared in a flash, and no matter how hard the two of them searched, they could not find any trace...
Apparently, like Sean, they kept themselves hidden.
The reason why the two of them were surprised was because what the spiritual power indicated was a higher level of "strong gin" concentration——
King level field.
"Is there a King coming?"
Sean was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was reasonable.
For an ordinary King-level mission, the team reward will not exceed 10,000 New Zealand dollars.
And the value of that golden statue is obviously more than a King-level mission...
How could they not covet the ultimate prize?
And obviously, Sean and Yueguang sensed it, and it was the invisible King-level team who did it intentionally——
Many of the group of explorers who were chatting easily had their body movements obviously sluggish and stiff.
Among the many ordinary people, the originally confident explorers were suddenly shrouded in the shadow of the powerful.
Only Sean's team has a slightly better mentality - Tyro and Olivia are not members of the Explorer system and have no idea about the King class.
As for Sean and Moonlight, after going through the ups and downs of Ocean City, they no longer have the blind "fear" of high levels.
Instead of worrying too much, it’s better to…
Sean began to carefully observe the explorers scattered in the team.
In the process, his eyes were attracted by one of the explorers.
The explorer wore a rare mask. The mask was composed of totems of various creatures. Rats, wild ducks, wolves, foxes, cows... and so on represented abstract images of various animals, gathered together.
It is a rare mask that represents strong spirituality and can talk to animals.
"The listener of all living beings."
I heard Moonlight mention it again and again, that was another interesting mask that the "Moonlight Soloist" had longed for.
The wearer of the "Life Listener" is a tall and thin man.
Slightly different from other calm explorers, this listener actually stared at the castle in the distance of the paradise, and in his eyes...
Full of immersion and fascination.
An adult explorer actually showed a childlike luster in his eyes.
This is really rare.
Sean couldn't help but pay attention to their team.
When the New Testament reporter roughly remembered all the teams in his mind, the four people suddenly exchanged nervous glances.
"Something bad is approaching here..." Taylor frowned and clenched the "Holy Book" in his hand.
The next thing to be discovered were the other Seekers, who began to glance around with obvious uneasiness.
Soon, a strange and hollow sound came from the sky, and a small tornado appeared in the direction away from the gate of the paradise. This made the ordinary people present nervous...
The gray whirlwind quickly approached, and Sean stared at the center of the whirlwind with some surprise...
He saw a figure walking out of the windy door.
That was... Sean was once again shocked by what he saw.
A plain-looking woman with long hair walked out from the depths of the whirlwind. The makeup on her face, especially the slightly smudged eyeshadow, made her look a little haggard.
She took a deep breath from a cigarette in her mouth, and used her smoky-yellow fingers to take out the cigarette with lipstick residue.
The lights of the paradise shone on her, casting three shadows behind her. Only those explorers with keener insights could discover the weirdness of those three shadows...
A shadow looked like a huge male lion entrenched, its scarlet eyes half-opened and half-closed.
A shadow looked like a scary-looking scarecrow standing in a wheat field in the dark night.
There is also a shadow, like a rusty iron tower burning on the chest.
Ace-level explorer, a woman who once entered the legendary spiritual world alone, subdued three powerful and strange things, and returned safely——
"Returning Dorothy."
An industry insider once adapted her story into a book suitable for children with some bad taste.
In fact, only the explorers who have heard about her deeds know how bloody, weird and terrifying the so-called "Adventures in Oz", those fragments and chapters full of innocent childlike humor, are in reality.
She sighed out a puff of smoke, as if she was tired of everything, even breathing.
The explorers had all heard of her name, so they naturally focused their attention on her.
The ordinary people around him felt tremendous pressure due to the difference in soul concentration, and had to calm down and look at this unfriendly-looking woman.
What is she here for?
Various conjectures emerged in Sean's mind.
Somehow the blaring paradise music seemed distant.
The "Paradise Security" who was originally standing outside the door also temporarily retreated at this moment.
"I am the representative of the New Lander Explorers Association..." Dorothy threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with her heel. "On behalf of my association, I fulfill my duty of warning to all citizens and fellow explorers——"
The lazy woman took a deep breath and shouted irritably: "There is a clear danger in this damn place! The association and its members, in this damn situation, do not have the right to restrict others' free choices. There are warnings on humanitarian grounds.
"If you insist on entering, the association will not be responsible for your death or a fate more tragic than death!
"Fucking-above!"
It turned out that he was sent by the association to perform the duty of dissuading...
Moonlight breathed a sigh of relief.
Without carefully studying the rather indecent "self-expression" that Dorothy added to the "official rhetoric", Sean discovered that a group of people had already begun to leave after getting over the initial shock.
Most were ordinary citizens with children.
As for the team of explorers present, only two moved and followed the flow of people leaving.
After fulfilling her duties as a "volunteer" in the association, Dorothy seemed unconcerned about how many people had accepted the dissuasion - she had turned around and seemed ready to leave.
"She wants to scare us away so she can win the grand prize alone, right?" Someone whispered this, and even Sean heard it.
Awed by the power of the Ace class, the sound was very subtle.
But that one still stopped.
The woman who looked like a disaster turned her head with a canine-toothed smile on her face:
"Who was speaking just now?"
