The strongest explorer officially recognized by the association, Red Joker - 'Master Roland heading to the Black Tower'.
Legend has it that he wiped out a niche belief with just one bullet.
Even the wandering god would never want to be pointed at by his black revolver.
He is the only human being alive who has been to the "Black Tower" and returned.
The only one who treasures that rose.
"That is to say," this is a question that Sean obviously cannot pursue. He can only try his best to think about what Arthur Merlin said, "Red Joker is on the side of the president. However, for some reasons, he wanders around Didn’t come back to other world lines...
"Once he is able to return to the New Testament, perhaps President Phillips' disadvantage can be reversed?"
That should be it, right?
Sean didn't plan to worry too much about these relationships near the top - he just wanted to make sure he could stand firm in the increasingly intense storm.
"Another thing is more important than the reward -" the president clasped his hands and continued, "I hope you can fully hide yourself in the future."
Sean and Yueguang looked at each other and looked at the president with some confusion.
The old man carrying the pocket watch continued: "I have to say, I appreciate your prudent behavior so far——
"If you hadn't carefully concealed your true identity, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to resolve the anger from...those characters so easily."
Sean understood what the president meant.
Just as he had guessed before, whoever kills Peter Pan and destroys Midnight Paradise will suffer the revenge of its "protector".
And Sean's hiding really worked. Since almost all the clues he left behind were interrupted, enough space was left for people in the Phillips camp to mislead the Spear of Revenge...
Someone died because of this, but it also allowed Sean, Moonlight and the others to escape from the crisis of destruction and completely cut off their relationship with this incident.
"Our suggestion is - since you have caused a lot of trouble so far, you have not revealed your true identity...
"Why don't you just sink to the bottom and hide your true identity forever."
Arthur Merlin, Dorothy and Austin all stared at Sean and others. Obviously, this was their common suggestion.
Dorothy clicked her tongue lightly, pointing to her face with slightly smoky makeup, and said with regret: "Only now do I know the benefits of wearing a mask - it's a pity that my face has already become famous, otherwise I also want to be the kind of person who can’t be traced.”
Arthur Merlin also smiled bitterly.
Fame is never necessarily a good thing.
It may bring rewards, but too much attention can also bring disaster...
Especially for seekers.
"So," the president spread out his hands, "can you understand my suggestion?"
Sean and Moonlight both nodded: they had already discussed the idea of forging identities, hiding themselves completely, and completely separating their exploration career from their daily identities...
Otherwise, they would not have risked being held accountable before and appeared in Midnight Paradise wearing masks that did not belong to them.
Not only that, even when they rushed to the Explorer Center today, they discussed this issue in the car: in order to ensure safety, they need to hide deeper.
Phillips knew that the two young explorers he was facing were quite smart. Not only did he not have to waste words, it was obvious that what he said had already been thought over by them.
However, there is clearly a lack of direction.
"In order to completely hide your identities," the president continued, "I have made some arrangements."
Austin handed a letter with a president's wax seal to Sean's hand. After untying it, there were some spiritual writings written on the paper with the "Eye of Exploration" fluorescent mark:
“First, the true identities of the Sea of Twilight and Solo Under the Moon will be upgraded to unsealed secrets, and even the president level is not allowed to view them;
Second, the plan to hide the true identities of Sea of Glimmer and Solo Under the Moon will be a routine task of the association’s risk control department;
Third, the team led by Shimmer Sea will not be held accountable by the association for wearing false masks during missions. They can apply to the first leader of the risk control department to temporarily borrow a mask of the same level, but must ensure that it is returned after the mission;
…
Then there are a few less important details.
When Sean finished reading, the spiritual writing burned on its own, the fluorescent mark of the Exploring Eye also faded, and the cipher text instantly turned into a blank piece of paper.
He raised his head in shock: Not only did he and others' true identities be included in absolute protection, but he was also allowed to borrow genuine masks of the same level?
Although there is no reference, Sean believes that this is definitely a terrifying privilege!
"These privileges are only one aspect..." Connor Phillips continued, "On the other hand, there are some specific implementation suggestions, which Mr. Merlin will tell you..."
…
Sean and Yueguang were still a little shocked until they left the president's office.
Seemingly inspired by his previous "covert operations," President Phillips insisted on making his force invisible.
And the requirements he made were not harsh in Sean's opinion——
Join the "independent faction" camp and support the current president's path of "not being affiliated with any force and maintaining the relative independence of the association."
And Sean, before joining this camp, was already naturally on Phillips' side.
First of all, after all, Sean is a member of the "Candlelight Book Club", so he must be on the same side as Arthur Merlin, and Merlin has always supported Connor Phillips.
Secondly, Sean could not agree with what a part of the social elite had done to the "downtown area", and that group obviously controlled the "conformists" in the association headed by Nietzsche.
Sean destroyed Midnight Paradise and unlocked the imprisoned Lower City. Before he chose to side with Phillips, he had already entered the hostile camp of "those people".
The reason why we can see the president today is partly because of their reckless "righteous act" and partly because Phillips and others who have been paying attention to themselves finally recognized their power and influence and have reached the stage of meeting and discussing matters. threshold...
This was a meeting that was already destined.
The practical "hidden method" that Arthur Merlin just described was a huge inspiration to Sean.
Originally, he had no systematic idea about "hiding oneself", but now, Sean already has a basic thinking process.
Next, he will combine his previous long-term goals of opening a newspaper, becoming an influential figure in the media industry, and growing into a higher-level explorer to lay out his "hidden plan."
"Sean Dickinson" will continue to live inconspicuously as a young reporter with an underground background living in the New Testament...,
And the two magnificent lives he is about to embark on, seemingly separate but actually secretly connected, will begin with different images and names.
"I'm just a hard-working reporter who wants to make more money... A media tycoon and a powerful explorer have nothing to do with me."
Sean realized that what he was about to do was inexplicably consistent with the resources he had now - just like stepping into a gold mine after getting a pickaxe, or starting to write reports after getting a typewriter...
Once again, it confirms what Mr. Jung called the "principle of synchronicity."
Everything was so perfectly timed...
For some indescribable reason, he couldn't wait to take the next step -
At this moment, Sean drove, taking Moonlight with him, towards the deserted suburbs of the city.
He wants to unblock the "light ball" he got after killing Peter Pan.
