The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

Six hours have passed, and the group led by three explorers, Sean, Moonlight and Ivan, has passed the first round of watch.

The number of ordinary people who were bewitched reached as many as fifteen people, but there were also more than a dozen ordinary people who were added in, basically forming a positive balance.

The three-member group standing in the core area now is led by Solomon.

Since Sean couldn't be sure whether there were other explorers present, the three of them could only sit in the rest area and supervise the Solomon team's watch.

At this moment, the three of them are sitting together, talking about emeralds and this watch mechanism.

Moonlight just proposed an idea, Sean shook his head: "The method of making Olivia wear this necklace is meaningless.

"She is not recognized as a human by the necklace, so even if you wear it, the necklace will only continue to lure others to **** it. If you don't make it difficult to **** it, it will still be chaos."

Sean also thought about using a pen to help the Ace-level detective.

However, this place is more than a thousand kilometers away from New York, and it is still a question whether Arthur Merlin can catch up with this ship...

And "fair arms dealers" are more suitable for solving linear crises, not this kind of problem that is stuck in an endless loop.

In short, Sean can only rely on his own strength now.

During the break, Sean solved a small puzzle involving the emerald necklace in his mind.

To make sure his teammates had an idea of ​​what was going on, he started telling a story about the nursery rhyme:

"I heard some little girls on deck reading a nursery rhyme called 'Poor Elaine'.

"The story told in that nursery rhyme is very similar to the spooky events happening on the ship right now.

"What disturbs me is that the nursery rhyme foretells that when the number 0 appears on the countdown in Vivian's hand, the Bronze Giant will sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

"In order to find out what's going on, I checked some information."

Just after his own watch ended, Sean used the power of the archives in Shengen Space to search for this matter.

"The nursery rhyme must have a source." Sean's eyes did not leave the Solomon team watching, "So, I searched according to my own thoughts.

"In the magazine "New Testament Horror Stories", there is a small column of 'Terrorist Nursery Rhymes Detective'. After I searched for "New Terror", I found an exploratory article about "Poor Elaine"..."

Listening to Sean's story quietly, Moonlight's expression gradually became surprised; while Evan lowered his head and frowned deeply.

"In an issue of New Testament Horror Stories ten years ago, several things were said about "Poor Elaine."

"The popularity of this nursery rhyme was about 21 years ago, in 1903.

"The author is a sailor named Ogilvy.

"Unfortunately, the New Fear editorial office that wanted to interview Ogilvy was unable to locate the sailor.

"Ojiway disappeared mysteriously shortly after composing this nursery rhyme...

"In the expedition, it is written that Ojiway was the only survivor of a shipwreck. After being rescued by a passing ship, his mental state has been unstable. After returning to the shore, he created this work under such circumstances. A nursery rhyme."

Evan looked up, squinted and said, "He seems to be warning others."

"That's right." Sean nodded, "Ojiway is warning the world in his own way after the shipwreck caused by the emerald necklace.

"It's a pity that his warning was not taken seriously - the people who sang this nursery rhyme still boarded the cursed ship."

"How ironic." Moonlight shook his head with a wry smile.

"Moreover, the editorial department of "New Terror" also issued a relevant warning in that issue.

"They believed that what the nursery rhyme was telling was true, and that many shipwrecks happened because of this curse.

"So, they have called on explorers to solve this haze involving transoceanic voyages.

"In addition, they also stated in the article that the name 'Elian' in the nursery rhyme should be the pseudonym taken by the author.

"However, I don't know if the Explorers Association took any measures. In any case, judging from the current situation, they have not solved this problem..."

Ivan sighed: "Even if there is a system of explorers, there are still many mysterious problems left-manpower is still limited in the face of the unknown."

At this time, outside the Solomon group, a man appeared strange.

The people around him quickly stopped him and tied him up.

Almost at the same time, one of Solomon's group rushed to the birdcage. Similarly, he was also suppressed by the people around him...

The three of Sean stood up and observed whether they needed to make their own shots.

However, they found that although this open space in the restaurant seemed a little chaotic for a while, it actually had its own unique order——

The people in the Overwatch mechanism are becoming more and more skilled.

Two people who were affected at the same time were sent out by people.

Calm soon returned to the restaurant, and the watch continued.

Sean nodded with satisfaction, sat down and continued: "Afterwards, I used the name Vivian to search for the list of the dead in the major shipwrecks."

Evan asked nervously, "What's the result?"

"Since the ticket is registered by name," Sean moved his throat and blinked, "So, I found Vivian's name in the list of the victims of the five shipwrecks..."

"Five?!" Moonlight's eyes widened.

Sean nodded: "Among them, the Titan, which sank after hitting an iceberg in 1912, and the Margaret, which was sunk by Gehrman's 'Unrestricted Submarine Warfare' in 1917..."

"That is to say." Evan supported his chin with his fingers, "When the sixth Vivian dies, the big ship will bring different bad luck...

"The same thing is, the ship will definitely sink."

People divided her, and the fish ate people.

The three fell silent.

The five shipwrecks may not be all.

Thousands of people's lives are forever fixed on the Atlantic Ocean because of this strange necklace~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

Such a tragic fact made Yueguang and Ivan fall into pale shock.

"Then, according to the cyclical nature of the nursery rhyme," Moonlight imagined and spoke the picture in his mind, "after the shipwreck, the necklace will reappear on land in some mysterious way, re-creating A Vivian, re-boarding a big ship..."

Sean nodded slightly.

Evan frowned and said, "Although I still don't know the curse mechanism of the necklace, this incident makes me have a very strange feeling..."

"How do you feel?"

"That necklace..." Evan's eyes stared at the emeralds in the birdcage, "It's like a bait thrown by some evil existence.

"He, with the terrifying doom induced by this bait, repeatedly harvests the souls that pass by..."

If Sean's reasoning is an extension of the event, Ivan is more of a breakthrough to other possibilities.

There is a certain complementarity in their way of thinking.

Sean recognized Ivan's feelings, saying: "There must be a bigger picture behind this incident.

"However, our priority is to survive this crisis.

"Only by surviving will it be possible to understand why this happened."

Saying so, Sean suddenly heard Solomon shouting, "Evan, Sean!"

The big detective seemed to be completely out of his mind. When the vision occurred, he could only instinctively shout out to the detectives and mysterious reporters.

The three of Sean got up immediately and walked past the crowd.

Then they saw Solomon's pale face turned...

And the empty silver plate in the bird cage that has not been opened.
