The Modern Age Of The Mysterious
/ The Modern Age of the Mysterious Chapter 20
finally! Sean unconsciously clenched the phone and asked for other details. It was almost certain that what the old lady saw was Arya, Sean asked her for the address and set off directly.
In the taxi, Sean kept thinking: "This time it may be a trap. After the last time I failed to curse with a phone, they probably wanted to lead me there...
"However, there are further clues there, and it is impossible for me to turn a blind eye." Sean clenched his fists. "Fortunately, I have just obtained the power of the Witch's Moon. Even in danger, I have the ability to defend myself."
On the way there, Sean was even mentally prepared to fight to the death.
When the destination arrived, Sean paid the fare and got out of the car. This is an old apartment building in downtown. There was a smell of sewerage nearby, and the ground was full of stagnant water. Compared with the gorgeous Long Island, it was a world of difference.
Sean went up to the fifth floor and knocked on Mrs. Bosh's door.
Sean's psychic tentacles had already penetrated the door, and no abnormality was found. He could feel that the old lady came to the door and looked through the cat's eyes for a while.
Sean could feel her heartbeat a little weak, but very steady.
"It's me, Mrs. Bosh. I'm Sean Dickinson."
Mrs. Bosh opened the lock while talking, while Sean tightened his nerves and was ready for the vicious puncture.
After the door opened, the smell of baking biscuits poured out, and Mrs. Bosh, wearing thick reading glasses, beckoned Sean to enter: "Come in, Mr. Dickinson."
Although the old lady lives alone, she is accompanied by several big and fat cats, and the house is kept clean.
She was very enthusiastic. She poured tea for Sean and served him freshly baked biscuits: "You are too thin! Even if you go out, you should eat more."
The kind Mrs. Bosh reminded Sean of his grandmother.
Grandmother loves Aaliyah the most. For the sake of her body, the whole family still keeps the news of her disappearance from her grandmother.
"Grandma should still be waiting for Arya to come home." This made Sean a little heartbroken, and his nose was sour. He could only pick up the hot biscuits and stuff them into his mouth, bow his head and bite them to cover up his emotions.
Sean could feel that Mrs. Bosh was really just an ordinary person. There is no conspiracy here.
"Mrs. Bosh, where did you meet Arya?" Sean asked directly when the old lady sat down.
"About a few days ago, she lived in room 513 next door...
"I thought it was very strange at the time. Room 513 has not been occupied for a long time." The old lady's eyes were enlarged by the presbyopic lenses, and she looked very serious. "The new tenants do not go out all day. Besides, they are constantly listening to music during the day. …”
"listen to music?"
"Yes, I'm listening to the same record, with only a few songs on it, over and over again, and it doesn't stop playing on 513."
Sean thinks things are a little weird - Aaliyah likes to be quiet, and it's impossible to play music in the room all day.
"And then? How did you see her?"
The old lady took a sip of tea: "Every day, someone arrives at 513 at a fixed time, and it seems that they are here to bring food.
"There is a person next to me who doesn't go out, which makes me curious. So, although my ears are not very good, as long as there is movement next to me, I will listen carefully.
"One night, I heard what seemed to be a quarrel next to me, so I got up to listen. The quarrel was so loud that I was a little uneasy..."
"What's going on next door, do you remember?" Sean tried his best to calm himself.
Mrs. Bosh tapped her chin with her finger: "I can't hear very well, but I seem to hear the little girl say that she wants to go home..."
Sean gritted his teeth.
"Because the quarrel was too loud, I opened the door and wanted to ask about the situation.
"Just in time, the door of 513 was also opened, I saw..." The old lady's eyes turned to the ceiling, and Sean was suddenly a little scared - he was afraid that some inexplicable force would tamper with Mrs. Bosh's memory.
But, fortunately, she continued to tell: "I saw two men who walked out of the room with the little girl..."
Sean sat up straight: "What was she like when she came out?!"
Mrs. Bosh was a little surprised by Sean's urgent tone. Sean raised his hands: "Sorry, Mrs. Bosh, please understand... I'm a little nervous for my sister."
Mrs. Bosh nodded and continued: "I remember that she had tears on her face, but her expression was calm.
"It was that night that they took her away and never came back here."
Sean asked, "When did they leave?"
"She lived here for about ten days and left two nights ago..."
Two days ago? Sean wondered, "Could it be that after I advertised the missing person, I forced them to change the place to hide Aaliyah?"
"It's very possible!" Sean put his clenched fist in front of his mouth, his heart was fierce, "Those bastards, Aaliyah obviously wants to go home, but she won't let her go, those bastards!"
Sean calmed down and said, "Mrs. Bosh, I want to talk to the landlord of Room 513. Can you do anything?"
The old lady pushed her glasses: "I know Mr. Michael, the landlord of Room 513. I can ask him to come over."
Mrs. Bosh called and learned that it would take half an hour for Mr. Michael to arrive~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sean made a random reason, saying that he would come back later and went out.
He walked directly to the door of 513, extended the tentacles of the spiritual substance into the door, condensed the end into a solid body, and easily opened the door. Sean quickly flashed into the door and gently closed the door.
Sean walked lightly around the room - this was a somewhat old-fashioned room, and there were unpacked dinner plates on the table. It could be seen that the people who lived here had left in a hurry.
Sean saw the vinyl record player on the wall with a record on it. Sean walked over, touched the record, wanted to pick it up and have a look...
Knock knock knock! 513's door was knocked.
Sean frowned and walked towards the door lightly: "Isn't Mr. Michael coming in half an hour? I didn't make any noise just now, so Mrs. Bosh shouldn't hear the sound here..."
"Who is it?" Sean put one eye on the cat's eye. Then, he saw a very strange scene in the cat's eyes.
It stands to reason that the cat's eyes should be the corridor. But what Sean saw through the cat's eyes was a room exactly like 513.
"This is……?"
He could see the back of a person, who was lying on the door, looking at the corridor through cat eyes.
In order to see more clearly, Sean tilted his head and brought his eyes closer.
The back figure in the cat's eye also tilted his head, bringing his eyes closer to the cat's eye.
Sean suddenly found something, and he fell into confusion: "Is that me? I'm looking at myself?"
Then he saw from the cat's eyes that a man in a soaked old suit with a weird smile, holding a sharp-edged umbrella in his hand, quietly appeared behind his back, approaching step by step...
