The Modern Age of the Mysterious Chapter 548

Evan Burns put a photo with his father on the table.

Outside the window, the wind blew the dead branches, and the large maple leaves that had remained stubborn were picked off by the wind and lightly placed on the ground.

The curled dead leaves seem to have their own direction, rubbing on the ground with a small sound, and starting their own journey.

Evan turned his eyes back into the room, and he began to look around his room.

Beige wallpaper, clean ceilings, mahogany wardrobes, plumbing stoves that don't smell of smoke...

A completely different setting from the hut by Lake Misani, but with the same quietness.

He walked to the full-length mirror and took out a shiny thing from his pocket.

Gently rubbing it, it looks like a rose carved from a ruby reflecting the warm light.

This was given to him by Sean before he left and explained how to use it.

Evan Burns pinned the brooch to the left chest of his shirt. After the light outlined the outline of this thing, it disappeared like ice grains put into hot water.

Looking at his appearance in the mirror, Evan, who has always hidden his emotions, suddenly has some soft feelings...

Since his father left, he has never felt the feeling of coming home.

Every place, even the shores of Lake Mistani, was just a "residence" for him.

And the unreserved enthusiasm of the couple in 1902 just now made him feel a touch of warmth called "home".

Evan had to admit that no matter how strong he looked, he still longed to feel such a temperature from time to time in his heart.

Moonlight's footsteps recalled that the pianist knocked on the door: "Evan, are you ready?"

The young "piano apprentice" responded and walked towards the door.

After the group had dinner in the box of the "Palm Tree" restaurant, Alia Dickinson announced tonight's special event, sitting in the co-pilot, she turned around and her dark eyes flashed: "We didn't discuss going there before. Do you want to go up to see the night view at the Shenguo Building?

"This time Ivan is here, we just happened to go and see it together!"

Aaliyah said a few words that made Sean's eyes straighten: "Why... have you bought a ticket?"

Seemingly finding that her brother was not interested, Aaliyah's excitement also faded: "What's the matter, Sean, don't you want to go?"

Sean turned to look at his sister, gritted his teeth and changed his state: "No! No!

"I was just thinking about something else!

"Do you mean to go to the top of the Divine Kingdom Building? That's a great idea!"

Even if the sky phobia has not completely subsided, even if Sean is now deliberately not looking at the sky...

But it seems that Sean doesn't want to see his sister's disappointed expression more than the sky.

Only then did Aaliyah feel relieved, and she began to gushed about how difficult it was for her to buy sightseeing tickets.

Sean smiled bitterly. In order to avoid Moonlight and Ivan in the car behind, so as not to appear embarrassed after arriving at the destination, he could only inform them of this trip in advance through the explorer playing cards.

As a result, it took him a long time to receive their reply—naturally, quite reluctantly.

Under the command of the traffic controller, the car was parked in a parking lot next to the Shenguo Building.

After getting out of the car, Aaliyah closed the car door and ran and jumped in front of the moonlight car, finally revealing her destination tonight.

Moonlight, who seemed to have done a lot of self-construction, performed much better than Sean, and he showed his excitement without any flaws.

Only when Arya walked forward holding Winnie, the smile on her face faded, and she gave Sean a bitter look.

Sean shrugged, as if to say: What can I do...

Taking the elevator from the parking lot, they came to the bustling Harris Fifth Avenue.

At this time, it was eight o'clock at night, which can be said to be the busiest time in New York City.

There are not many tourists in winter, they don't need to line up and directly enter the lobby of the Divine Kingdom Building.

The building, which has just been completed for a year, was invested and built by DuPont and General Motors and is the tallest skyscraper in the world today.

It is located in the center of the most prosperous Harris District in New York City. It is open to tourists all year round. On the top floor, you can overlook the Harris area and even the entire New York City.

The presidents who invested in the construction of this building seem to be devout followers of the Salvation Church. You can know a thing or two from the decoration of the Divine Kingdom Building.

Whether it is the chandelier in the hall or the pattern on the ground, it presents a perfect diamond shape.

And this standard diamond pattern is the symbol of Luyi School.

The worship of the Salvation Church is almost everywhere in the entire building, so that a hall on the first floor is even used directly as a church.

In the only divine constitutional country in the world, this kind of flattery towards divine power is a common tactic used by almost all capital predators—as long as the people involved in the divine court are happy, it is no problem how capital wants to play.

Of course, these are just appearances. In secret, the connection between theocracy and capital is unimaginable for ordinary people.

After all, in purely doctrinal terms, the construction of such a structure has no direct connection to Keene's beliefs.

Even for conservatives who are too old-fashioned to understand the dogma and too imaginative, this kind of sky-high skyscraper is a slight offense to the gods in the sky.

But such voices are not the norm for Newlander. Spokesmen of capital can naturally deal with such challenges calmly: as they said, the tall buildings extending towards the sky where God is located is not an arrogance, but a unique tribute to the yearning for the kingdom of Keen...

Those in power and capitalists have obviously lost their reverence for the harsh and old-fashioned teachings, and how to interpret them depends on their own needs.

And those conservatives who are dissatisfied with human progress are destined to be abandoned by this era...

God ignores the world, and human beings build their own home.

After interrupting the extension, various associations related to the constitutional system of the gods~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sean entered the elevator with his relatives and friends.

In the elevator rising at a high speed, the horn blared soft music, and a female voice introduced the origin of the building of the Kingdom of God in a pleasant tone.

Feeling the uncomfortable feeling of the eardrum being pushed due to the high-speed rise, the introductory voice with some hypnotic effect in the elevator inexplicably made Sean feel a sense of deja vu...

It feels like returning to that absurd underwater city.

When the elevator opened, Harris' noise wrapped in the cold wind, and the city skyline that was originally outlined by tall buildings suddenly appeared in front of him.

The three ladies were unburdened and even walked up to the rooftop with some excitement.

On the contrary, the three men who were extremely brave in all kinds of dangers hesitated a step the moment the elevator opened.

They glanced at each other in the elevator before driving their reluctant bodies to the rooftop of the Divine Kingdom Building...
