Chapter 133: Another Deserted Riverside Street

"Is this a ritual tool?" Watson asked.

Nello Bacchus replied: "No, this is a wooden doll made by the extinct Marruvim people. It is said that they used it to appease the twin witches in the lake that they feared... Although the Marruvim people have been exterminated. , the lake they lived in has long since dried up, but there is still an incomprehensible magic hidden inside these puppets that were used for sacrifices.”

"As long as you carry this wooden doll in a cloth swaddling bag and take care of it like a well-behaved baby, the doll will also feed back the knowledge and power of the mind to the carrier."

Watson frowned slightly. He already understood what Nello meant - sir, you can use this kind of item to understand the last scripture of the secret of thunder.

But the doll in front of me is obviously broken and cannot be used anymore. And is the power obtained by this trick safe? Could it be more dangerous and more likely to lead to mental loss of control than the esoteric power gained through practicing the rules?

He expressed all these doubts.

After Nello heard this, he sipped his wine and chuckled: "Is it safe? Will it cause loss of control? Haha, Chief Watson, you are worrying too much. The secret power contained in these treasures and tools is so meager that it is not worth mentioning. And only the secret disciples of the corresponding nature can obtain the knowledge and power, and this power cannot help the secret disciples to advance to the next level."

"Although the risks of using these treasures also have certain risks, this risk is really negligible compared with actions such as jumping ahead of time and contacting deeper Si Chen secrets. As for the sudden increase in the power of secret transmission without practice, it will bring Will it increase the chance of losing control if it comes out too arrogantly and unrealistically?”

"Haha, that's just a problem that mediocre people need to worry about. A strong-willed man like you, Sir Watson, can't you control your inner arrogance and pride?"

Faced with Nello's flattery, Watson just nodded slightly, but a smile appeared on his face again. He rubbed the smooth and moist wooden doll with the pad of his thumb, feeling the inner feelings that were so thin that they were about to dissipate. mana.

"But this wooden doll seems to have been damaged. I guess it doesn't have the effect you mentioned, right?"

Nero nodded and said: "Sir, you are right. In fact, this puppet has been used by me, and the knowledge and power contained inside have been absorbed by me. This is why I am sure that this puppet has the ability to increase the progress of the secret transmission. effect."

"Then there are still extra puppets within our sect?"

Nero just shook his head slightly, "No."

Watson's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Nello's sudden mention of this thing was definitely not for fun and fun. The other party was not of such a leisurely character and must have a certain purpose.

"Then it seems that Nero, you know where to get similar puppets like this?"

"Haha, I can't hide it from you, sir!" Nero poured a glass of wine and toasted, "According to my information, a group of criminals occupied an abandoned warehouse on a river bank street somewhere, and they hid all the stolen goods in the warehouse. And they happened to be unloading a batch of treasures tonight from a wealthy businessman who liked to collect strange and weird things. Among them, there happened to be treasures similar to this puppet. We hurried to go there before morning and returned the treasures. We have time to borrow one or two items that may be useful to us from their warehouse.”

"We? Just you and me?"

"Yes, even though this row of riverside warehouses has long been abandoned, it is still on the edge of the city. It is not suitable to set off in groups. It is easy to leave unnecessary traces."

"Does Mr. Morgan know about this?"

"I know...but the leader only arranged for me to go alone. He didn't know that I wanted to invite you, sir, to go with me."

Nello took a deep sip of the wine. He seemed a little nervous and said hesitantly: "I am considering that sir, you are currently anxious about the final step of Lei Ming's secret, and that the sect has recently begun to strictly screen those who want to join the sect. There will be no more welcoming ceremonies in the short term.”

"Even if I succeed in obtaining such items from the warehouse this time, there are still many senior brothers in the sect waiting in line, and it is impossible for you to come here directly in the short term."

"So, I boldly invite you to go here with me. If you are also involved in the operation, then it is completely in line with the rules of the cult to share a share of the loot in advance."

"Besides, this batch of goods itself was stolen from other places by the group of criminals. We went to the warehouse to seize this batch of goods not only to punish the evildoers, but also to sell the excess goods in exchange for money and medicine, which can be used to give back to the patients who visit the hospital. Patients are even more kind-hearted.”

When Nello Bacchus said these words, he seemed to be a little guilty and unsure, his eyes were a little evasive and he did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the commander.

When Watson saw this, he understood clearly. It seemed that the owners of this batch of goods were probably not the criminals mentioned by Nello, but were perhaps legitimate owners... Then the so-called Winfrey Morgan did not know what was going on. The fact that Luo came over to invite me to participate in the operation may not be true... So, does Winfreth want to use Nello to test my bottom line? Or do you want to use this to gain further evidence of my involvement in the crime?

He didn't seem to notice anything unusual about his old subordinate. He just nodded slightly, drank the wine in one gulp and stood up.

"I understand." Watson said: "Then shall we set off now? What is the action plan? Have you surveyed the terrain and environment?"

Nello lifted his windbreaker, patted the holster inside, and said with a smile: "The action plan is simple: rush in - knock down the guard - take away the goods."

Watson couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Nello, you are still so reckless. You said before that the target of this operation is still on the edge of the city, and it is not suitable to make too much noise. How can you break in so rudely?"

As he said this, he walked back to his bed, pulled out a large black cloth bag from the bottom of the bed, and took out two peculiarly shaped pistols from the bag.

In Nello Bucks's opinion, this is the Colt M1873 revolver that the chief is most used to, but two black short barrels are added in front of the muzzle.

He took the pistol from his officer in confusion and asked, "Captain Watson, what are the two short barrels in front used for?"

Watson smiled and said, "This is a little gadget I made recently. It can effectively suppress the fireworks and sounds when the gun is fired. It is just right for our covert operation tonight."

"I see." Nello turned off the gun safety and tried to raise the gun to aim at the furniture in the room. He felt that although the gun was a little heavier, it did not affect normal use.

"Captain Watson, you gave me these two guns, so what do you use?"

Watson patted his ribs gently, "Don't worry, I have other weapons."

"Well, since you are well prepared, let's go now!"

"Yeah."

Let's go quickly. I haven't tasted the pleasure of killing for two months. The dark beast deep in my heart is already roaring wildly with hunger!

I'm really not in good condition. I'll make up for it on the weekend.
