Chapter 582 Supreme Mother Goddess

[Pagans live in every corner of the world, from the most savage tribes in Africa, to the bustling international metropolises, to the remote ice fields, you can see these people.

They have been passed down from generation to generation, and through ancient and bloody evil rituals, they are constantly trying to get in touch with a certain mysterious existence]

The sound of pages turning echoed in the living room.

Lu Li was reading the file records that his subordinates "borrowed" from Johnny the Righteous.

It happened eight years ago, East End detective Johnny received a letter of commission from Fall Town.

Thousands of miles away, a round trip will take nearly half a month. During the period, you need to change trains, public carriages, and country ox carts, and the bounty is only a pitiful five pounds. After the travel expenses, there is not much left. Investigators shall bear their own food expenses.

The reason why he was invited was because several townspeople who had lived in the East District had heard that Mr. Johnny was good at handling supernatural events.

In the power of attorney, he is called the most famous legendary detective in London.

In fact, at that stage, the man nicknamed "Justice" had only been in the detective industry for six or seven years. He was not a rookie, but he could not be called a famous detective, he could only be said to have rich experience.

In order to deceive people, the townspeople used a lot of modifiers, and even named him the savior.

To this day, the power of attorney is still kept in the archives, and Johnny opens it from time to time for self-appreciation.

But what really caught the eye was the case itself, which was weird and mysterious enough that Johnny was willing to make this loss-making deal, and there was a high probability that he was also interested in the case.

Fall Town.

A remote town near the North Sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is more like a village than a town, with a population of less than 2,000.

The folk customs there are simple and simple, and the living habits and work and rest methods of the Middle Ages are still maintained, but suddenly one day, people began to disappear continuously, and all of them were married women, which brought panic to one family after another...

And Johnny, who came in a hurry, began to investigate and analyze like cocoons.

He shuttled the hounds between valleys and dense forests all day long, searching for the remains of the victims. At the same time, he collected the lists of those with weird personalities, those who lived alone, and those with bad character, questioned them one by one, and monitored them secretly.

Three days after arriving at the destination, Johnny finally discovered something. He found a mass grave in the dense forest in the suburbs, full of women who had been subjected to V-shaped caesarean section.

Every corpse has mutilated limbs, the incisions on every corpse are neat and not messy, and the valuables carried by every victim are not lost.

"It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it the case that happened in the East District?"

"Yes, the victims were all women, and the file clearly described that the belly was disembowelled, the organs were deliberately taken out, and finally backfilled."

"The murderer first arranged the organs and corpses according to the ritual requirements, and after finishing, threw them all into the wilderness."

The three of Bai Yu started to restore the truth with each other, and they spoke in a decent way.

Only Lu Li, still frowning, turned to the last page of the file.

After investigation, Justice Johnny found the culprit on the seventh day of the investigation. At that time, he was following a woman and was thrown down on the spot by three hounds.

Benjamin Leahy, with a dark yellow slurry flowing in his body, was bitten by the hounds, his body began to twist, and his mouth was split to the back of his head.

"Made, those three beasts can kill the monster. Could it be that they are strong when they are strong?"

Bai Yu grumbled.

Obviously, he had tacitly agreed in his heart that the two cases belonged to the same category.

"Death never proves."

Lu Li put down the file and pinched the center of his eyebrows. Judging from the conclusion of the file, Johnny still had certain doubts about this case——

A statement could not be obtained.

Of course, there is no shortage of physical evidence. In the home of this man named Benjamin who lives alone, a large number of murder weapons and blood-stained clothes that have not been burned have been found.

"However, after this man's death, no more cases occurred in the town." Gao Qian pointed to the file, and added: "Although the man named Johnny has a bad personality and likes to raise vicious dogs, it is undeniable that he is very responsible. , Two years ago, I made a special return visit to the town of Foer."

"Comfortable and peaceful, time has healed everything, and the townspeople have returned to a simple life. The mayor said that since then, not even a single case of theft has occurred."

"This is the exact words in the file, and there are three black and white photos attached, all smiling happily."

After the words fell, the room returned to silence.

Lu Li was still frowning, making people wonder why he was frowning when the answer was so obvious.

Subconsciously, the three of them looked at Pan Ming and Duke, and they did the same.

Could it be that there is something hidden?

Bai Yu realized later.

A monstrosity dripping with yellow ooze that can be killed by hounds.

A blond, elusive in means and in stature, and near-immortal.

There was too much difference between the two, so Lu Li trusted his eyes even more.

What's more, hundreds of women died in Foer Town, but the murderer who caused these tragedies was extremely small.

London is a huge city, and dozens of women died. The official figure is forty-two, but now it should be forty-three.

The results of it? The culprit was a hard-to-handle blond girl, and the three excellent students couldn't win her for a while, and let her go.

Of course, before the case is declared closed, quotation marks need to be added to the word culprit.

"The Supreme Mother Goddess...the Supreme Mother Goddess...Benjamin Leahy kept chanting this name before he died, with a frenzied expression and no fear of death at all."

"The ceremony is roughly similar, but there is a deviation in the result. What is the reason?"

Lu Li muttered to himself, trying to extract useful information from the files.

However, the term mother goddess has a wide range.

Gaia, the mother of the earth in ancient Greek mythology, the Greek gods are basically her descendants.

Tiamat, the mother goddess who created the world in ancient Babylonian mythology, like Gaia, Tiamat is also the mother of the ancient Babylonian gods.

Valiti, the mother of the earth in ancient Indian mythology, it is said that all the gods and all creatures in the world were born from Valiti.

Izanami, the mother goddess in Japanese mythology, is also the goddess of the filth of the underworld. The Japanese gods were born of her and her brother Izanaki.

Of course, the first mother goddess that Lu Li thought of was Nuwa Empress.

"In orthodox mythology, only Izanami can be associated with evil, but in an Anglo-Saxon country, would anyone believe in him?"

Lu Li talked to himself, then began to change the direction of thinking, and said in a deep voice: "I remember in class, there is a fallen god of fertility who is regarded as the supreme mother goddess by believers..."

"The black goat of the forest that breeds thousands of offspring."

Five voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Pan Ming, who has dabbled in various religious myths, can be called a class representative. He took the initiative to explain:

"In the mythology of the restraint system, it is said that he gave birth to almost all the old rulers, and even all life. All the spells of repairing, restoring, and gestating life may be related to it."

"No, I mean faith."

After suffering a few small losses, Lu Li also began to change his attitude, and took those boring literature and history courses seriously. Therefore, it is impossible for him, who has learned about the Hound of Tindalos, not to have heard of the Black Goat of the Forest.

"There is a saying that He also gave birth to a creature called 'Black Goat Cub', which acted as agents of Shabu Nicholas, accepting sacrifices and worship from believers on His behalf."

Seeing Lu Li thinking in this direction, everyone present also began to change their minds.

Bai Yu said with a strange expression: "Not only that, those cubs will eat those who disrespect Him, and spread the gospel of the Mother God to all parts of the universe."

"You suspect that the man behind the scenes is a cub? Well, there is indeed such a possibility, because their form is not fixed.

It is mentioned in the branch myth that a creature called dark algae lives in the ocean. It is different from the regular black goat cubs. It is shaped like a large group of black and rotten giant algae. variant. "

Hearing this, Duke nodded and reminded: "When it comes to such creatures with vague concepts and forms, you can't make judgments based on experience."

"So, going around and around, the serial murders in the East District may still be related to the Supreme Mother Goddess."

Speaking of this, Lu Li felt a little helpless.

The darkness is dormant, and the weirdness is hidden very deep. In this situation, there is not much information for reference, which is really tormenting.

Moreover, most of the cosplayers have a premonition that a catastrophe will break out.

This is not imaginary!

It can be said that it is an illusion for a person to think so.

A large group of people are like this, so you need to be vigilant.

As for why there was a hunch, it was because the difficulty displayed so far did not match the previous few games at all.

[There is no cap on the top, and it is climbing steadily]

Every time such a comment is given, it means endless torture and death.

Especially for Lu Li and the others, the more they understand, the stronger the sense of crisis——

An inconspicuous prop, usually used to tell the time, turned out to be able to interfere with time, space, and cause and effect.

To be honest, Lu Li wouldn't be so naive as to think that the principal opened the cheating device for him alone. I'm afraid there are too many unimaginable things hidden in the entire foggy city.

"When I visit Mr. Holmes in the afternoon, ask him if there is any relevant record about the Supreme Mother Goddess."

After speaking, Lu Li stood up. He didn't want to dwell on the case for the time being. The five people got together, rather than reasoning in the right direction, it was more like an investigation, an investigation of the truth.

Reasoning: Based on philosophy, logic, psychology.

However, this case obviously involves occultism, so it is more appropriate to describe it as investigation.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Li pushed the second bedroom away and took a look inside.

The little guy is still sleeping, and it has been nearly five hours since the serum was injected, and he will wake up in an hour at the earliest, but from the perspective of the teacher, Lu Li hopes that Mi Gao will sleep for a while.

According to the experience of studying ancient dragon serum in the last world, the longer the sleeping time, the higher the absorption, fit, and talent.

lucky boy...

As a serum provider, Gao Qian was filled with emotion. He really couldn't see anything special about this aborigine.

Probably the boss is sympathetic.

Of course, cultivating an excellent junior will definitely get a certain evaluation in the final settlement.

You must know that after the examination reform, the abolition of compulsory tasks, and the realization of a very high degree of freedom, the shining points of individuals have become the judging criteria.

Could it be that the boss has already considered this step? Probably yes, as expected of a top student, every word and deed has a deep meaning.

Gao Qian's thinking became more and more outrageous.

In fact, Lu Li just purely sympathized with this poor child. At that time, he didn't think of disrupting order, but only wanted to help the poor as much as possible within his ability, so that he had a clear conscience.

Later, the little guy followed me through time travel, and everyone kept a secret together...

From adoption to apprenticeship, everything is a matter of course, so there are so many calculations.

...

One fifty-five in the afternoon.

Westminster Abbey, the front gate of Westminster Abbey, stopped for two carriages.

Lu Li and the others filed out.

Although they arrived five minutes earlier, they were still not as early as Police Officer Wensley. He was pacing by the gate, obviously waiting for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Li stepped forward quickly and greeted him, "Mr. Wensley, I'm very sorry, we're late."

"No, I'm just idle at the police station and have nothing to do, so I came here to take a look." Wen Sili smiled modestly, looked behind Lu Li, and asked curiously, "Who are these four?"

Among the people present, he had only met Duke, and he had been in contact with him many times, so he was relatively close.

The three of Bai Yu had met several times. After all, a few days ago, this police officer was in charge of receiving a private detective from the private sector.

And Pan Ming, no matter in another world or now, this is the first time we meet each other.

"We are a team."

Lu Li felt that it was really inappropriate to bring so many people to visit Holmes' house, but it was not good not to get acquainted, so he had to force it.

"These guys are all interested in that great detective and want to get acquainted..."

Bai Yu immediately echoed, "That's right, the reason why I entered the private detective business was influenced by Mr. Holmes."

Hearing this, Police Officer Wensley no longer had any doubts, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Then this afternoon, Mr. Holmes' house is going to be lively."

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang in everyone's ears.

If you have to choose the landmark building of Wudu, then Big Ben will definitely occupy the list.

Standing outside Westminster Abbey, looking to the northeast, it is a square spire nearly 100 meters high, with a huge bell hanging on it.

It weighs 13 tons and a half, has a diameter of 7 meters, the hour hand is 2.75 meters long, the minute hand is 4.27 meters long, and the pendulum weighs 305 kilograms. Every hour it walks, it will tell the time once, and the loud bell can be heard in all nearby blocks.

It's exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

"When you have time, you must take a good look at London." Lu Li looked at the giant clock with a complicated expression, and said with emotion: "It's like a secret warehouse, I don't know how many treasures are stored there."

"Haha, when the serial murder case is solved, I will ask for leave to be your guide."

Police officer Wensley didn't understand the deep meaning of it, and took the initiative to take over the job of the guide, introducing: "Compared to the young Big Ben, Westminster Abbey has more historical significance. Since the 11th century, successive kings have been there. There is a coronation ceremony and many classified areas are closed to the public."

The temperature has dropped significantly today, and the cold has worsened again... In order to be able to work hard, I have to work hard.
