Chapter 185: The bombing happened again?
After a cup of tea, a group of people appeared in the dense forest not far from where Sean was without warning. It turned out that they were people from the Explorers Guild.
The leader, Sean, was someone he met during the last tomb crisis. He was Malone’s deputy and confidant, and also one of the vice presidents of the Stardew Valley Guild - Toledo.
In the crowd behind him, Sean also saw a familiar face. He was the captain of the team who had confronted the hunter leader when he first explored the coal mine forest. Afterwards, Sean learned that his name was Somu.
At this time, Somu looked pale and about to faint. He was carefully helped to the side by other members to rest.
Some of the other personnel quickly dispersed to be on guard, while others meticulously checked the scene for traces, while Toledo walked towards Sean with steady steps.
Seeing Sean looking at the place where Somu was resting, Toledo spoke first, "This time it was really thanks to Somu. His ability of short-distance collective teleportation really saved a lot of time."
There is such a magical ability? The Explorers Guild is really full of talents and should not be underestimated.
Sean sighed inwardly, and then took over from Toledo.
As he expected, the subsequent process went extremely smoothly. After Sean finished explaining everything, the entire sealing site was quickly taken over by the Explorers' Guild.
As for Petra and Elliot, the participants in this incident, they are receiving careful treatment from medical personnel, after which their relevant memories will be erased and they will be sent back to Pelican Town.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. For a moment, Sean became the only person present who had nothing to do.
During this boring wait, Sean suddenly noticed something strange.
It stands to reason that there is a shadow, so how did Emily get the lemon stone safely? Is this a coincidence or is there something else going on?
If the pirates didn't plunder the shipwreck, how did the Poseidon statue get to that area of water? If it had nothing to do with the dwarven civilization, why were there lemon stones scattered around it?
(The shipwreck and the treasure chest containing the statue were illusions created by the shadow. The real scene was that the statue was stuck in a coral reef, with a pile of lemon stones scattered around it.)
And who was the one who created this coral boulder seal? Judging from the reaction of the Explorers Guild, they seemed to know nothing about this either. There was a lot of water in this.
Could it be that another mysterious force has sealed the Lost Heart Demon? Could it be the dwarf civilization that Petra mentioned? Was the Poseidon statue made of unknown materials also made by the dwarf civilization?
Finally, according to the information from the sacred tree, the black shadow named the Lost Mind Demon came from the spiritual world.
It is another new world that is completely different from the magical world.
How many planes are there that have contact with this world? Does the Explorers Guild know about the spiritual world? Should I find an opportunity to reveal relevant information to the Explorers Guild?
Also, the shape of the black shadow of the Lost Mind Demon is similar to the black shadow that besieged the sacred tree. Could it be that that terrifying black shadow also came from the spiritual world?
Is that why the Divine Tree is so eager for this offspring of the Mind-Losing Demon?
A series of questions emerged one after another, but there were no answers. Sean had to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them himself.
It seems that we have to start with Emily first. Sean took these questions deeply to heart.
-----------------
During the time when Sean and his friends set out to eliminate the curse, a shocking event happened in Pelican Town. Mayor Lewis encountered an unprecedented crisis of confidence in his political career.
Let’s talk about the day Sean set out.
With a deafening roar, the shelves in Joja Supermarket collapsed in an instant, leaving a mess. Goods were scattered all over the floor, and customers were panicking and screaming.
Nearly half a month later, another small-scale explosion occurred in Joja Supermarket.
This time, a sharp-eyed uniform employee spotted the suspect in the chaos.
"Catch him! He is the one who planted the bomb!" The employee stood in the panicked crowd and shouted at the top of his lungs, pointing at a short man in black clothes and a jacket.
The inconspicuous man originally tried to blend into the crowd and pretend to evacuate, but when he heard the shouts of arrest, he suddenly panicked, wrapped his jacket tightly around him, lowered his head and quickened his pace in the crowd, trying to get away with it.
After taking a few quick steps, he looked back guiltily and found that more and more people were noticing the commotion here.
Panicked because his secret was exposed, he pushed away the grocery shopping lady who was blocking his way and ran for his life.
Now his target became particularly obvious, and the Joja employees who rushed over after hearing the news quickly locked onto him.
He ran out of the supermarket in a panic, crossed the wire fence in a panic, and stumbled into the narrow alley. He knocked over the stools in front of the alley, kicked over the pottery jars, and even the clothesline hanging in the air, all of which helped him escape the pursuit.
He stumbled across the Ripple River, dove into the bushes on the shore, and then fled desperately towards the west of town. Joja's employees quickly took a detour and crossed the bridge, chasing him all the way.
In front of him was Lewis's magnificent two-story villa. The man panicked and jumped over the wall into the yard of Mayor Lewis without hesitation, and disappeared in an instant.
This really stumped the employees who were chasing after them. After all, this was the mayor's yard, and it was not appropriate to break in by force.
But Lewis was not at home, and for a moment they were caught in an awkward situation of being caught between a rock and a hard place. They could only gather outside the yard and shout at the top of their lungs to persuade them to surrender.
This lively scene soon attracted many onlookers from the townspeople, who were talking and chatting among themselves.
Someone hurriedly ran to inform Lewis, and about an incense stick's time later, he hurried back from the office.
At the same time, Joja's leader, Hashicasta, also arrived at the scene in a hurry.
"What are you all doing here?" Lewis glared at the Joja employees from outside and shouted at them.
"You mean looking for a suspect?"
"What a joke! This town is so big, why did they find their way to my house?" Lewis's face was terribly gloomy and naturally he didn't look happy at the Joja Group that was almost breaking up with him.
Qiao Casta responded rudely on the spot: "Lewis, this is what you did wrong. There are so many eyes watching, and a living person broke into your yard and didn't come out. Don't you think so?"
"Yes!" The people below naturally responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.
"No matter how much I say it, you won't be able to enter my door today!" Lewis was furious and his voice was firm.
"Are you feeling guilty? Are you shielding the suspect? Is there some unspeakable secret? Did you instigate the previous bombings?" Qiaocasta was aggressive, staring at Lewis with his eyes, as if he could see through his heart.
Lewis was so angry that his face turned red. He retorted loudly: "Nonsense! I, Lewis, am upright and honest. How could I do such a heinous thing!"
"Humph, who knows!" Qiao Kasta snorted coldly, his face full of doubt.
After a fierce argument, neither side gave in, and all kinds of gossip were heard from the crowd.
Finally, Lewis compromised: "I will go in and find someone myself. If I can't find anyone, you Joja people will come!"
After that, Lewis walked quickly into the yard and closed the gate heavily.
