The Modern Age of the Mysterious

After departing from the New Testament port, the "Bronze Giant" cruise ship will sail for six days on the Atlantic Ocean, and the voyage will end at the port of Lipson in Leon.

Two-thirds of the voyage, which is the evening of the fourth day, the Bronze Giant will stay at the port of "Avalon Island" for half an hour for tourists to and from Ocean City to disembark and disembark.

During the chat, Sean learned that the destination of the old lady Sarah's family was also Ocean City.

"I heard that it's like a giant aquarium. Anywhere in the city, you can see the underwater world outside through special glass," Sarah smiled and patted Anna's head, "Anna likes marine creatures the most. So we have to take her no matter what."

Perhaps the reason why she is particularly shy is because Anna's personality is somewhat similar to that of her grandfather.

When Mrs. Nash was talking to others, Mr. Nash liked to watch silently on the side, but only occasionally added that the warm and cheerful Sarah was the more chatty of the two.

Sarah was extraordinarily hospitable. She took out the jars of pickled cucumbers and sausages she brought and stuffed them with Sean and Moonlight shortly after chatting: "Not necessarily on the boat," she laughed, then added mysteriously, "—even if Yes, it's not as delicious as what I made."

Unable to beat the old lady, Sean and Moonlight had to accept it.

Both Sean and Moonlight have elderly people in their family, and Sarah and Nash reminded each of them the warm feeling of getting along with their elders.

After Anna clamored to go to the deck to play, Sarah and Nash finally stopped chatting and walked towards the deck with their granddaughter.

At this moment, Olivia stepped out of the cabin, leaning on the railing with her slender hands, looking at the sea illuminated by the sun, and the seagulls flying along the side of the ship. Under the brim of the octagonal hat, her red pupils blinked slightly, looking curious and peaceful. Fresh.

The cabin door on the other side of Sean opened, and out came a young couple, who seemed to be arguing softly and sweetly about something.

The man has black hair, blue stubble marks on his face, and wears a striped shirt; the woman has a round face, a slightly fat body, and speaks a little slowly. The young couple seems to be immersed in the two-person world, and even when Sean and Sarah and others are chatting hotly outside the door, they have no intention of participating.

Sean was infected by the relaxed atmosphere of the people around him when he was traveling. He let go of the ominous premonition that suddenly appeared before, and planned to enjoy the current leisure.

After dinner that day, Sean summoned Moonlight and others to his room. Under the condition of ensuring that there was no eavesdropping, he informed his teammates in detail about the secret mission entrusted by Arthur Merlin...

————

The voyage took two days without knowing it. Because of the close relationship, Sean and others became more and more familiar with the Sarah family.

By chance, Sean met the young couple next door, the man's name is Kyle and the woman's name is Sissy.

However, Sean feels a little bit out of touch with Kyle. The other party seemed to be a stockbroker in New York City. He spoke professional terms such as valuation and annualized rate of return. He seemed to have no interest in anything other than economic and investment topics.

Not only that, but he is also very arrogant, as if he knows a lot of things, saying that the "explorers" are just a bunch of magic sticks, and the secret exploration industry is a scam...

Whenever Kyle talked, his fat girlfriend Sissi would look at him admiringly from the side.

"Sure enough, someone who lives in a world of two..." Shawn shook his head and never talked to Kyle again.

During these two days, Sean and Moonlight met Vivienne wearing emeralds again. However, intimidated by "Winnie's little book" in Sean's pocket, Moonlight never dared to take the initiative to approach her, and could only smile helplessly from a distance.

In a few unintentional observations, Sean found that Vivian's temperament was a little special - she was always looking out at the sea ahead from the deck, as if there was something worth seeing in front of her.

When someone asked her to chat, she would respond politely, but she never took the initiative to ask someone to talk to.

Therefore, in the crowd, she looks extraordinarily lonely.

But at the same time, she also seemed to enjoy the loneliness.

"If Arya travels alone..." Sean couldn't help but think, "It should be like this too."

At this time, the "Bronze Giant" had sailed into the deep sea, and the surrounding scenery became monotonous.

Fortunately, the weather at sea was fine, and the voyage didn't seem as terrifying as Sean had predicted.

However, Moonlight's condition suddenly became not quite right.

Sean, Moonlight, Evan, and Olivia have been working together for the past two days. At this time, the four of them were in the banquet hall and had just had a delicious dinner.

At this time, on the small stage in the banquet hall, an eight-member band was playing.

Under the light, Moonlight squinted at the fat man playing the piano on the stage.

Moonlight shook his head from time to time: "No! The emotional expression just now was wrong! It should be several consecutive accents!"

"There are problems with fingering, which pianist came out of the wild..."

"Haha," Yueguang sneered, "I even played a wrong note. Did you pay for it yourself to enjoy it?"

"Oh, my God, I can play better than him with my feet!"

Then, Yueguang grabbed his hair: "No! Sean, I can't bear it anymore. I must go to the stage and play the piano tonight!"

Since the first time I listened to music in the banquet hall yesterday, Yueguang has been talking about wanting to play the piano for a day.

Returning to the familiar environment, Moonlight's addiction to playing the piano was out of control.

Sean sighed: "Moonlight, yesterday we negotiated with the band and the people in the banquet hall, but the other party clearly refused, have you forgotten?"

Yueguang shook his head: "No, I can't help it..." As he spoke, his hand seemed to be raised involuntarily, as if he was about to start playing the spiritual piano on the spot...

Sean sighed, feeling that sometimes his partner was too headstrong.

But on the other hand, he also understands Moonlight's feelings very well - when he sees an article with many typos, he will also have the urge to go crazy and want to write and rewrite it himself.

"I'll leave the pianist out, and the rest is up to you."

Sean has requirements for using his special abilities, but this requirement is not rigid.

Holding a glass of champagne, he walked to the front row of guests as if he wanted to enjoy the music.

A strand of his esoteric flutters like a hair. Due to the existence of Divine Root, Sean's use of essentia is almost an expert in this field - a spiritual scholar. This form of spiritual essence can hardly be seen even if a explorer turns on his spiritual vision at this time.

The strand of spiritual hair avoided everyone and was connected to the fat luthier who was playing the piano.

Sean carefully conveyed a mist of mourning...

Before boarding the ship, the pianist had just broken up with his girlfriend, and there was some sadness in his heart, and a trace of grief mist activated those emotions...

Thinking of the days he spent with his girlfriend in the past and his decision to break up, he burst into tears, his hands trembled, and the performance stopped abruptly.

The other members of the band suddenly found that the sound of the piano was interrupted, and they all stopped in confusion and looked at the piano player.

Sitting in front of the piano, the pianist covered his face and cried: "Lina... woo woo, Lena..." He got out of the piano bench and ran to the telegraph room.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to play the piano, and the sadness in his heart woke him up to one thing—he loved Lina deeply.

"I have to tell her my heart!" With such a resolute mood, he left the matter at hand and ran to the telegraph room...

————

After ten minutes of consternation, whispering, and Moonlight's negotiation with the director of the banquet hall in order to "take care of the overall situation", Mr. 1902 sat in front of the piano with a satisfied smile on his face, intertwined his fingers and stretched his fingers. .

After making sure that the previous pianist rushed out not to jump into the sea, but to the telegraph room, Sean returned, and the moonlight on the stage nodded slightly towards his partner and began to play.

At this time, the moon could not be seen in the banquet hall, but when the moonlight began to play, people seemed to see the brilliance of the moon pouring in.

The smooth, light and emotional piano sound flows gracefully throughout the banquet hall.

The eyes of some travelers who often go on transoceanic voyages, who have listened to the moonlight playing, and who lament the retirement of the "Platinum Star" and have never seen the pianist again.

"The pianist on the ocean!"

"He's a pianist on the ocean!"

Someone's face flushed with excitement, and the whispering even turned into a low-pitched exclamation.

People seem to see a lost legend re-enacted before their eyes.

Only then did Sean and Ivan know that the moonlight landing was such a great regret and loss for the tourists who took the boat.

This also explains why Moonlight must play the piano - not only for his own enjoyment, but also for his former listeners.

Some of the ladies covered their mouths and burst into tears.

Those who didn't know the whereabouts of the moonlight thought that they would never hear such music again in their lives, but today it sounded like a dream on the stage, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion for a while, nostalgic for the beginning...

Seeing his friends who were amazed and moved on stage, Sean felt that the little sin just now was worth it.

At this time, Vivian and the mysterious woman in red were also in the banquet hall.

After hearing Moonlight's performance, they were all shocked and fell into a deep intoxication...

The fat pianist who finally sent an affectionate telegram to his ex-girlfriend, calmed down, wanted to come back and apologize and resume the performance he had just interrupted, after seeing and hearing Moonlight's performance on stage, he chose to stand under the stage , silently as a spectator...

After the dinner party, the moonlight was dripping with sweat, and he rolled up his shirt sleeves and put on his coat, standing on the deck smoking a cigarette.

"So happy!" Moonlight shouted towards the black sea, "It's like returning to the old days!"

"Actually, you can take Winnie to sea in the future and play the piano on the boat by the way." Sean suggested.

"Nice idea..." Moonlight nodded again and again. He turned to his "student", "How is it, little Evan, how is the teacher playing?"

Evan nodded: "When you play the piano, you really look like a master, but..." The clown hermit turned to Moonlight with a proud face, "As soon as you speak, you will lose the title of master..."

Sean laughed.

Yueguang laughed himself, shook his head and took a cigarette, as if to say: You don't understand the master's psychological world.

Olivia was silent on the side, taking advantage of the fact that the deck was empty, she didn't wear a hat, and let the sea breeze blow her short hair.

Someone came over. In order to prevent the other party from discovering the special marks on her head and face, Olivia moved a few steps and stood by the railing in the dark place.

Sean turned around and saw Vivian walking over.

The girl in the white dress blushed, habitually pinching the emerald on her chest, and said to Yueguang, "Mr. Yueguang, I heard rumors about you a long time ago, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to listen to your performance live. I...I'm so lucky."

Moonlight looked at Sean, and Sean patted the pocket containing "Winnie's Little Book".

The pianist restrained his rude thoughts and turned around quite gentlemanly: "Miss Vivienne.

"Our reunion is a kind of fate."

"However, such a fate is like a chance encounter between a seagull and the wind. After a hurry, they must go their separate ways.

"Forgive me for not being able to accept your love—I am married."

Saying that, Yueguang raised his left hand and pretended to show the wedding ring that he usually doesn't bother to wear.

Vivienne chuckled: "You really like to joke, I don't have that kind of mind!

"Actually, I'm also learning the violin, so I really admire a musician like you!"

Moonlight lowered his hand a little embarrassedly: "Uh...Thank you for appreciating my sense of humor."

After asking some questions about music, Vivian bowed deeply towards Moonlight: "Thank you for your advice."

The girl in the white dress turned around and left.

Several people left a good impression on Vivian's friendliness, top hat and sense of proportion.

Sean patted his partner's shoulder: "It's a good performance, the previous record can be cleared."

Moonlight was overjoyed: "Is that right? I must let Winnie know that her previous opinion was wrong - in fact, I am a reliable, stable and dedicated gentleman!"

Sean nodded perfunctorily.

The night is getting darker, and the dark ocean is connected with the sky.

The brightly lit cruise cruises through the waves~www.wuxiaspot.com~ seems to be the only place with vitality in this dark world.

The chill of the night wind grew stronger, and the four of them got up and walked to their cabin.

As soon as they stepped into the porthole, in the sound of the sea and the wind, they clearly heard a woman's scream.

The sound was obviously coming from the third-floor porthole.

"What's wrong?!" Sean and the others looked at each other nervously, and rushed forward in unison.

They quickly arrived at the scene, and the people nearby who were awakened by the screams also walked out of their hatches and surrounded them, seeming to be whispering.

Sean saw the mysterious woman in red and her strong bodyguard also standing in front.

Passing through the sparse crowd, Sean saw the stockbroker Kyle's girlfriend, Sissy, who was sitting on the ground with her feet limp, covering her face and crying.

Not far in front of her, lay a corpse.

Xiao En and the others took a few steps forward, and after seeing the corpse lying on the ground, they all took a deep breath.

Vivienne was lying on the narrow deck of the porthole, with a silver boning knife stuck in her chest, and blood stained her chest.

Her lake blue eyes had lost their lustre, and the emerald necklace on her chest was gone.
