I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 140 Diving
It was the dead of night.

During the day, the bustling streets fell into silence, and the factories with constant roar of machinery had also stopped. The giant beast named Wudu seemed to have completely fallen asleep.

But there are still some restless fleas under the black fur of the giant beast all night long, which are the high-ranking nobles who are having fun.

Moreover, there is still a slight mechanical roar resounding secretly inside the huge body of the giant beast, which means that the workers must continue to work overtime even in the middle of the night.

And on the periphery of the giant beast in the fog city, in the meandering and turbulent remote river bend, there is even a group of weird and bizarre guys secretly operating.

They were dressed in neat uniforms, showing a strange paleness under the stern light of the arc moon.

They stood in a straight line on the embankment eight feet high, all maintaining a silent posture, standing silently in the howling river wind.

Their clothes fluttered with the river wind, and one could see heavy iron balls tied to the ankles of these strange people!
In such a dark night, this group of strange guys seemed to be performing some kind of suspicious suicide ritual. The leading burly man waved his arms and jumped into the river first. The death-seeking man was swept away, but the heavy iron ball couldn't help it. The strong man slowly fell to the bottom of the river, his feet stepped on the soft river soil, and the mist that stirred up light sand and dust blurred the river.

Then the rest of the death-seekers also jumped into the river one by one, stirring up waves. The last one was a man and woman holding hands like a young couple. The woman was beautiful and smiling, and the man was expressionless.

After the man and woman also jumped into the river, the dense mist like thick ink on the edge of the river bank slowly dissipated.

After these strange divers fell to the bottom of the river, they didn't panic or struggle at all. They just walked slowly in the dark river bottom holding their breath, not even spitting out any air bubbles. If you look down, you can't even see the half shadow.

They came all the way to a natural stone wall on the edge of the river bottom. The leader stroked the wall with his palm, and closed his eyes as if murmuring an unknown spell in his heart. The stone wall covered with dark moss seemed to be able to perceive the leader's chanting , trembling slightly, the pitch-black color distorted and fluctuated like ripples, and then suddenly became completely transparent like an illusory light and shadow, exposing the hidden waterway behind the stone wall!
The leader waved his arms, and led the people in the line slowly into the depths of the waterway. The waterway is not deep, but it has reached the end after only a few yards, but above the head, there is already a dim yellow reflection like a lens. Torches shine on the water.

The leader untied the iron ball on his ankles, stepped on the ground with his arms and swung his body to float up, and the latecomers followed suit and jumped out of the water.

On the top is an underground passage with obvious traces of artificial construction. Burning torches are hung on both sides of the passage. The warm heat makes the clothes of those who come out of the water quickly rise into light water mist, making the orange fire color of the underground passage also look a bit hazy. .

Croweite said in a low voice: "John, I have already told Mr. Nello, you can just follow me later, I will take you to my post, and you can be my assistant. "

"Okay, dear Miss Clovett, your loyal assistant John will definitely follow your orders seriously. You told me to go east, but I will definitely not go west."

"Hee hee, so cute."

Watson followed slowly at the end of the team. Just now when Nello led everyone into the river, he suddenly realized why the female detectives and the Anti-Suppression Bureau had searched repeatedly in the old St. Arteny Hospital but could not find it. I saw suspicious traces of the Crossroads Order, and I searched the inside of the hospital but couldn't find the door to the secret room. It turns out that the real activity space of the Order is to go by water!

Moreover, this waterway is indeed hidden. If other investigators want to discover this entrance, they must first have a good water person with sufficient lung capacity to search the bottom of the river repeatedly, even if this good water person sneaks into the bottom of the river and finds Nabu. The stone wall covered with pitch-black moss also needs to have the corresponding secret cultivation to be able to see through the hazy cover.

Afterwards, even if divers happen to be able to see through this deception and successfully enter the underground passage, they still have to try to break through the thick iron gate in front of them.

The iron gate is like a tight and seamless wall, completely blocking the way forward.

After Nello knocked seven times in the rhythm of two, three, two, a small peeping door was opened on the door, and a gloomy gaze shot out from the door. Even after seeing that the person who came was the deputy leader, he did not open the door directly. Instead, ask for today's secret word to open the door.

A hoarse and muffled voice came from behind the door, "Who can really be indifferent after hearing this?"

Nello took a step back and replied: "Only the silence, the dead and the dead can remain indifferent."

The peeping door clicked and closed again, but the next moment the thick iron door finally opened slowly with the sound of creaking and creaking, completely exposing the real meeting place of the Crossroads Church to Watson's vision.

It was a fantasy underground world that should not exist in reality. In the spacious underground space that is as spacious as a football field, the first thing you see is the huge gemstone pillar that seems to support the entire underground space—— exudes a glow like emerald Luminous green-like thick rhizomes extend down from the top, and the rhizomes and roots are intertwined and extend all the way down, going deeper into the ground, but there are still some thick roots like dancing pythons that are heading towards the ground. Holes extend around.

These twisted root systems entangled around the main rhizome, entangled to form a slowly rotating huge disc emerald stone mill.

On the emerald grinding disc filled with green light, there are amber fruits that look like plump honey. A tantric priest wearing a mask is carefully using a knife to remove the sticky honey-like fruit overflowing from the surface of the amber-shaped fruit. The pulp is scraped and served in a special silver bowl.

There are also some thick root systems that extend extraordinarily slender and meander towards other caves around the crypt. Inside the almost transparent emerald root system, some kind of liquid can be vaguely seen flowing slowly, pouring in from all directions. The huge pillar at the center...the liquid is a coquettish and crystal-clear color like a ruby.

Watson looked along those snake-like root systems, and saw a total of 26 branch passages around. The passages were also extremely deep. I can see a hazy shadow, but I don't know where it leads.

There are also some passages that are not extended by emerald roots, those passages are shrouded in complete darkness, and the internal situation cannot be seen clearly.

Nello stood under the trunk of the emerald rhizome, counting names one by one and arranging the work for tonight. Finally, when it was the turn of Chief Watson who entered for the first time, he told the smiling girl: "Crowette, you take Let Officer Watson walk around a bit to get familiar with the terrain, and then let him assist you in your work tonight."

"Hee hee, received."
