The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"This is?!" Sean was quite surprised.

"I have been feeling vaguely just now that there is some residual spiritual power in this skull!

"I didn't expect the symbol in my soul to capture that spiritual power... The Witch's Moon became a part of the symbol!

"what does this mean?"

At this moment, the candlestick-shaped symbol exudes blue-white light, and the extra witch's moon is still scarlet.

The blue and white light wanted to infect it, but Witch Moon was unmoved for the time being...

"Although I got this spiritual power, it hasn't been assimilated yet..." Sean felt.

He suddenly had a special feeling, throwing his soul into the symbol.

Just like before, his spiritual tentacles spread out.

Sean controlled the tentacles, trying to feel what kind of changes, until he noticed the feeling of solidification at the end of the spiritual substance, and swiped lightly on the ground...

The dust was swept away with a trace—like a finger flicking.

Sean was a little excited. After the candlestick symbol obtained the Witch's Moon, the spiritual quality was improved. The tentacles, which were originally nihilistic, could affect the entity after being condensed.

"If the Witch Moon is assimilated, what effect will it have?" Sean couldn't help thinking.

The doorbell interrupted Sean's thinking, he got up and opened the door. A group of indoctrination officers in black uniforms and black boots stood at the door.

They have solemn expressions and strong physiques, and at first glance they are different from the pedagogical officials who are in charge of daily security.

The hair on his head was shaved extremely short, and the stubble and stubble looked as hard as steel needles. He showed his credentials: "The paranormal security incident group of the Precepts Institute, also known as 'sheepdog'. I'm Captain Kai. Ger Lucius."

"Sean, Sean Dickinson."

The "Sheepdog" group of five entered the room, and someone started to examine the remains of the dead body. Kegel was in charge of questioning Sean.

"Captain, the level of resentment is around seven. This is a violent corpse." A team member reported after the inspection.

During the questioning, Sean could feel that Kegel was skeptical about his ability to deal with the fiery corpse: "You know, this is a situation that will make Jack-level explorers feel troublesome..."

Sean showed Kegel the study materials of the explorers, and added some luck in the process of describing the conflict. Of course, the existence of Naya was completely concealed.

The Sheepdog team found the broken holy water bottle and the holy dagger at the scene, but found no other suspicious traces, and no other witnesses. Therefore, for this almost impossible exorcism, they can only attribute it to the violent death of the corpse. When it came to unexplained nerfs, and Sean was really lucky.

After the questioning, Kegel looked at Sean with gray eyes: "Mr. Sean, I believe this attack is not accidental. Have you offended anyone or organization recently?"

Sean didn't hide the reason from the "Sheepdog" team, so he told Kegel about his sister's disappearance, the murder when he arrived in the New Testament, and the fake corpse. Although the latter listened attentively, he did not show surprise. It seems that this kind of supernatural revenge incident is not that rare.

Kegel just reminded Sean to pay attention to safety. He didn't intend to investigate what happened to him. After collecting the bones, he closed the team and left.

"They have limited resources and time, and it is impossible to rely on the Precepts Institute to solve my crisis." Sean had expected it, so he didn't feel disappointed.

Daisy came in a hurry and was obviously relieved to see Sean safe and sound. For safety's sake, she arranged for Sean to move to the first floor, a room closer to the front desk and the security guard: "The environment here is not as good as above, but it is safer."

Although the room is smaller, it gives people a more secure feeling. Sean is quite comfortable: "Nothing to complain about, it's great here."

After Daisy left, Sean closed the door, thinking about what had just happened: "This is another trap for me: only I will go to the Poetry Society's fake address to check and find the witch's body. When I found the body, I It was already marked, and then the corpse was activated, and came directly from the autopsy to solve me...

Sean remembered the appearance of the witch corpse opening her mouth and showing all her teeth: "It's still the same ruthless method as before... Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I will die this time."

He thought of the old man with a fluffy white beard. The holy water he sent played a key role in stagnating the corpse.

"His function may be related to hunch." Sean sighed slightly, "First he got Katherine's holy dagger, then he got the holy water bottle from the old man, and Naya helped me. I'm lucky..."

The corpse attack winds up Sean again - "I have to get stronger faster and know more. Luck will run out sooner or later!"

Following the "Book of Souls" and "The Quest Handbook", he took out the third book, "Theology and Divine Art", and read it attentively.

In order to test his memory, after reading about forty pages of the first chapter, Sean closed the book and closed his eyes.

In his consciousness, he tried to recall what he had just read...

The book is like opening in my mind, page by page is very clear!

Sean, who has read "Book of Souls", has a general understanding of this phenomenon: "Memory is an important function of the brain, and the brain is the container of the soul.

"After the symbol was activated, it strengthened my soul, and this strengthening was also reflected in the memory function.

Sean thought excitedly: "This will not only allow me to quickly accumulate mystical knowledge, but also quickly write down a lot of data and information."

He made a cup of coffee and started reading with all his heart.

—

Monday is a training day with Catherine.

Sean got up early, followed the work crowd, took the tram to Wall Street, and arrived at the Explorers Center.

Sean waited in the company for more than ten minutes. Catherine, wearing a mask, walked into the company with her long legs: "Yes, it's very early."

She still remembers Sean's dumbfounded expression when he tried to pass the quest test for two months, and when he took Sean to the upstairs training room, she deliberately said sarcastically~www.wuxiaspot.com How is the progress of ~, have you memorized several books? "

Sean nodded: "Yes, the third book is almost finished, and it's progressing well."

Catherine squinted at Sean and chuckled lightly.

In the training room in the Quest Center Building, a pair of trainers wearing masks and protective gear are fencing, both of them are very engaged, like two fighting **** waiting for an opportunity. Two burly men were wrestling in a bunker, panting and flushed. There are also a few people, holding barbells or dumbbells, who are exercising their muscles...

Sean had never seen such a scene before, it was quite fresh. Next to him was a young man who was sweating from training, and said disdainfully to his companions: "Do explorers have to train like this? I mean, we are not the strongmen of the circus, facing those strange people whose power far exceeds that of human beings. Things, isn't it enough to have pistols and magic?"

Sean said casually: "You take it for granted. When we run out of ammunition or spiritual power, the body is the last weapon. Even if we don't use it as a weapon, when we run away together, the person who is weak will definitely be swallowed up.

"Moreover, the body blessed with mysterious power is much stronger than ordinary people. When the explorers perform their tasks, they have different styles. Everyone has different talents. Some people have strong spirits and can give full play to the magic and the knowledge they have mastered. Some people have amazing physique, and with the strengthening of functional strength, they can also exert amazing power. In this way, when acting in small groups, they can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. In any case, physique is the foundation, and the importance of physical exercise cannot be ignored.

"Facing the mysteries of this world, being religious is not a bad thing at all."

After a few words, the young man was stunned for a while, looking at Sean's back, thinking that he had met a powerful senior explorer, and quickly began to practice hard with a blushing face.

Xiao En narrated the original words of the author in the "Explorer's Handbook", half to refute the young man, and half to remind himself.

Catherine, who was walking beside him, looked at him sideways in surprise: a person who is not in the industry actually pretends to be a King-level boss, this person has something!

The two walked to the ring surrounded by a few thick ropes, and Sean was a little confused: "Who will teach me boxing?" He looked at Catherine's slender waist and arms, "It's definitely not you. According to me Observe, you should be a technical explorer, maybe your marksmanship is very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Maybe you can use magic well, but you can never be..."

Katherine put on a cloth mask and tied her hair: "Don't forget my function - I'm an actor.

"In my character library, there is a female boxer named Maggie.

"She has never lost a fight with a boy since she was a child. When she was fourteen, she was spotted by the coach and began to practice boxing..." Catherine wrapped a cloth belt around her fist, her eyes seemed to have changed, her teeth were biting on the cloth belt, and her jaw muscles were bulging. Since then, he has become a little more masculine. "At the age of 19, he started playing professional games, and was called 'crazy watch' by his opponents due to his unstoppable boxing style.

Sean knew that the explorer with the "actor" function could play other roles in depth, and the skilled actor could even master the primary abilities of other functions... But he didn't expect such a performance to be so shocking!

Catherine's complexion seems to have darkened a bit, the muscles of her arms are obviously lined, and there are some scars on her face from boxing matches...

"She won the Indian women's boxing championship at the age of 22. In the first national competition, she missed the gold belt due to the combined fraud of the opponent and the team."

Catherine put on the gloves, no, it wasn't Catherine, Sean couldn't recognize her anymore. In front of him is the fierce female boxer, Maggie.

"After two years of hard training, she plans to compete for the championship again. During this period, she met a man named Sean, who seemed to want to learn boxing, but had doubts about his level.

"She wants him to see a woman's fist."

Sean said seriously: "No, Kay...Miss Maggie, although I'm two orders of magnitude heavier than you, I don't doubt that you can knock me out in the ring with one punch!

"Let's start training, you are definitely a qualified boxing coach!
