The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

"Girls, who taught you this nursery rhyme you read?"

The little girls turned their faces and looked at the tall man walking by.

"Who taught it?" The tallest girl in red seemed to be the leader of the group of friends. She recalled for a while and said, "My friend taught me at school."

"I learned it before boarding, not on board..." Sean narrowed his eyes.

"This weird story happened before? Who created this nursery rhyme?"

Sean was still thinking when he suddenly heard screams coming from the front.

With a sinking heart, Sean turned around and walked away from the crowd.

Before taking a few steps, Sean saw it through the pointing people.

From the thick foremast on the bow deck hangs a swaying white corpse.

The corpse swayed slightly on the mast, from Sean's point of view, obscuring the sun from time to time.

A crew member with visibly bloodshot eyes seemed to hang the new Vivian with some kind of pulley.

With a frenzy on his face, he was climbing up the mast with an obvious purpose—

It was the necklace hanging on the chest of the newly emerged Vivienne.

Sean quickly subdued the other party, got the necklace in front of everyone, and gathered the core members.

Ten minutes later, Yueguang and the others came to the location designated by Sean—the restaurant on the third floor.

"Gentlemen," Sean's face was very bad, "we don't have many chances."

The crew members have placed the fourth corpse with the number 2 on its palm in the refrigerator.

"Next, I want to design a mechanism." Sean said straight to all the core members, "I want to design a mechanism that can ensure that no new Vivian will appear and be murdered."

Everyone was silent, waiting for Sean's orders.

Sean arranged his voice calmly and said what he needed.

Soon, the crew members found everything Sean needed from the warehouse of the Bronze Giant.

A huge locked birdcage with two heavy chains.

At Sean's request, a table covered with a white cloth was placed in the middle of the empty hall, the bird cage was placed on the table, and two chains were crossed through the bird cage and tied together under the table to ensure that The cage cannot be lifted.

In the process, some crew members were also bewitched by the necklace, but they were all subdued by Ivan.

After the arrangement was completed, Sean opened the bird cage and placed the terrible things that had been affecting him and wanted him to wear in the bird cage, on a silver tray.

After doing this, he threw the only key of the birdcage into the sea in front of everyone.

After watching Sean's actions, Solomon nodded his head if he got something: "He made the action of 'take the necklace' more difficult.

"When someone is tempted to **** the necklace, he has to find a way to open the cage..."

"And this process will be very obvious and long."

Sean said: "Gentlemen, guarding this necklace is going to be a job for all of us.

"I will divide the people into several shifts of three, and the staffing will be arranged by me.

"Then several shifts take turns guarding the necklaces, supervising each other, and supervising that no one is going to break the birdcage.

"It's not just those who are present, we are also recruiting volunteers, recruiting those who are determined to join the team that resists this necklace.

"We need to use human sea tactics and face-to-face methods to dilute the mystery of this thing."

Evan and Solomon looked at each other and nodded slightly.

From the current situation, it seems that this is the only way.

If this method does not work, then the appearance of corpses with 0 palms becomes inevitable.

The first round of watching each other began. Sean took two other ordinary people and stood in an equilateral triangle two meters away from the bird cage to supervise each other.

The other standby personnel, except those assigned to eat and sleep, all stood on the periphery, supervising more easily, in case all three on duty were bewitched, or the bewitched person appeared in the rest area.

Necklaces cannot affect everyone present at the same time - this is the core understanding of Sean's design of this "human sea tactic".

What Sean didn't explain to others was that he also set up a hidden insurance for this watch mechanism.

Based on previous observations, Sean found that, as a masterpiece of precision alchemy, Vivienne Wind Chime does not seem to be affected by the necklace.

Therefore, Vivian, who has the characteristics of passive forgetting, will always be at the scene, as the last insurance, to observe the surveillance situation.

If there is a situation where everyone present loses their senses, Vivian will take the necklace and find a way to restart the watch.

Of course, Sean also thought about the strategy of letting Vivian carry the necklace and run around on the boat.

However, there were too many uncontrollable aspects of that strategy, so Sean didn't use it.

This strategy came to mind because Sean took advantage of two of the Emerald Rules he wrote:

"There is a certain law in the influence of necklaces on the people around you: the people with the weakest mental power are preferentially affected. If the people around have strong mental power, this rule will still work."

"The number of people affected is limited, and there has not been a situation where everyone is crazy at the same time."

According to these two points, there will be a fixed phenomenon in the watch system designed by Sean.

That is, ordinary people who are watching together with their own explorers will be bewitched.

When this happens, the explorer only needs to subdue ordinary people, and then replace them with two sane ordinary people. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This is a kind of "war of attrition" using the emerald's own rules, which consumes just normal people...

Although this system is somewhat inhumane, it is obviously more sensible to adopt this strategy in the face of the terrible events that may occur after the countdown is zero.

Just don't know, Sean narrowed his eyes: "How long does it take for ordinary people who are bewitched to recover from that state..."

Sean has arranged for crew members to recruit volunteers on the periphery and set up a care system. Those who are subdued after being bewitched will be cared for. After ensuring that they return to normal, they can return to this hall and participate in the guarding.

"If the rules are mutated, the watch will also risk failure." Sean thought silently, "In that case, we can only act by chance."

However, things seem to be moving in the right direction.

Sean's team went through a two-hour watch, and after replacing three people, they were replaced by the Moonlight team.

Walking out of the cabin door, there was a little hope in Sean's heart.

For the first time, the threat posed by the necklace has become manageable...

Standing outside the cabin door and looking into the distance, Sean silently watched the crew members tell the passengers what happened.

Although things were a little weird and terrifying, the passengers all joined the ranks of watchmen and guardians.

More and more people are available...

Sean silently calculates the interval that ordinary people are consumed, and the remaining time of this journey...

He narrowed his eyes: if the bewitched could regain consciousness after a period of time, if no other accident happened to this mechanism...

Then, it is possible for them to reach Leon safely.

"Leon also has powerful explorers locally. As long as they can go ashore, they can solve the necklace crisis."
