Chapter 136: Secret Cult
Nero Bacchus had just finished pouring out what was in his heart, when he turned around and saw the officer's pale face.
He quickly asked with concern: "Sir Watson, are you okay? Did you get hit by a stray bullet just now?"
Watson waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and just sat on the crate to catch his breath. "It's okay, it's just that I seemed to be affected by those books just now, and there seemed to be restless desires in my heart. I have suppressed it now."
"Oh - is it because of this book "The Battle of the Wall"?" Nello heard this and lifted up the cloth wrapping the secret book. His sword skills were about to reach the third level. Naturally, he could tell at a glance. This is a book about the Secret of the Blade.
"Sir, it seems that you are indeed very compatible with the Code of Blades. These books containing secret knowledge are just broken ancient books in the eyes of mortals who have no corresponding desires. Only people like you who are consistent with your compatibility and have been exposed to secret knowledge Only people who have passed on can have such a big reaction to these books.”
"I see." Watson nodded slightly, "I'm still wondering why those thieves seem to be completely unaffected by these books. They are all just ordinary people who have never been exposed to secret knowledge."
"The reason is not just that. The carrier of taboo knowledge also has a certain appeal to ordinary people, but if it is not compatible with the gender, it can almost be ignored... As for this batch of books, it should be because they were transported here. Having been packed directly into boxes, the aggressive and ruthless guardians did not directly see the true contents of these books, so they were spared the influence of the forbidden knowledge.”
"Otherwise, when we open the warehouse tonight, we might see a group of terrifying and weird aberrations!"
The attraction of forbidden knowledge... Just like Lance who returned to the scene of physical evidence from No. 3 Garden Street, Lauriston. He should be a mortal with corresponding characteristics. He failed to control his thirst for forbidden knowledge and turned that Two books were secretly brought home, but they led to tragedy.
Watson had almost rested and regained some energy. He stood up and looked at Nello who was organizing the things into a big package, and asked: "Are you done? Then the remaining antiques in these crates will be abandoned here. "
"Yes, those are just simple antiques. They neither contain Si Chen's secrets nor are they made of precious metals. They have no value in carrying them away. Just throw them away here. We have limited manpower and only take the necessary things."
"But if you do this, won't the direction be too obvious? Can't you tell at a glance that the gang behind this abandoned warehouse is that we are here for the objects in the hidden world?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Take some of the fragile antiques, smash them and throw them into the river. Keep some of the light antiques temporarily, and then throw them away separately to confuse the gang or possible tracking."
"Good idea, let's hurry up before they take over the shift in the early morning!"
Neither of them are slow-moving people, so they just do what they say. Watson destroyed those ancient cultural relics that may have come from the continent of Europa, crushed them into pieces with absolutely no trace of their original appearance, threw them into the river, and allowed them to be washed away by the rushing water. Take a look at these ancient items that may be precious. Nello took out some valuable but not very valuable objects, and roughly cleaned the battlefield to remove traces of their presence.
This was not the first time that the two of them had engaged in this kind of thing. They had already cooperated many times in Furstein. They acted very quickly and soon disappeared into the wind and rain with the loot on their backs.

At noon, as a good friend, Watson afforded the service of delivering food to Clovette.
The girl who had no choice but to be 'imprisoned' in the ward because she needed to calm down her heart looked at her potbellied friend, swallowed the piece of toast in her mouth, and asked:
"John, did you sneak out and 'work overtime' last night?"
"Well, Clovette, you can actually see that?" Watson asked curiously.
"Of course. Look at your big belly. It's become so big after just one day." Clovette pointed at Watson's slightly bulging belly like a beer belly and said with a smile, "I guess you must have something inside." It is a puppet that hides the Marruvim people...carrying it around like a well-behaved baby can make your mind go further."
Crovette murmured this introduction, "But the Malruvim dolls in the cult have long been used up. Even if there are still some in stock, it is impossible for it to be your turn, John, so soon...unless you also have a share." Participate in the collection of Marruvim dolls!”
"To sum up, there is only one possibility left - John, you secretly carried me out to work overtime last night and found an unused Malruvim doll!"
After Clovette finished speaking her inference, she raised the tip of her delicate nose proudly, with a look like 'I'm great, come on and praise me'.
Watson also applauded gently and praised without any objection: "It's really amazing. It seems that there will be another female detective named Clovette in London in the future!"
Crowett laughed happily, hahaha, is it true? John, you think I’m smart too, right? Well, I think I’m smart too!
"By the way, listening to what you just said, it seems that you are also familiar with this Malruvim doll, Crovette. How long do I need to carry this doll to fully digest and obtain the knowledge and power inside? Woolen cloth?"
Crovitt pondered, "Well... According to the records in the cult, it usually only takes a week, and sometimes it will be faster."
"The records in the cult... Is there a library hidden inside our hospital? Why have I never seen a similar place? Nello also mentioned that we have a database, but where are these materials hidden? Am I not qualified to see it now?"
"Oh, John, don't worry, you haven't even fully understood the secret of Lei Ming, and it's not a good thing to let you get in touch with the information of these secret worlds now... After you have completely absorbed the power of the Malruvim puppet, Mr. Nello should take the initiative to take you to visit the data room."
Watson thought that his previous guess was indeed correct. There is indeed a secret space hidden inside the Crossroads Hospital that only formal cult members can know and enter, and the standard for formal cult members is to reach the level of a first-level secret person.
Then when I can enter this secret cult space, I will surely be able to successfully collect evidence of the crimes of the Crossroads Cult.
But we still need to plan carefully, how to destroy the Crossroads Cult while preserving its manpower and wealth.
How to build a secret cult belonging to me, John Watson, on the corpse of Winfreys Morgan's Crossroads Cult!
