I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 170 Human Skin Drum

As energetic Mystics of the Heart, sleep was not a daily necessity for the four Mystics of the Order of the Cross.

After Watson finished his dinner, he was already lying on the bed in the hotel room. After a short rest, he was already full of energy.

When he woke up, the sky had been completely captured by the night. When he opened the curtains, he could see the huge full moon rising slowly from the sea in the distance. The moonlight reflected on the seemingly still sea, rendering the boundless sea as if A piece of silver armor inlaid on the surface of the planet.

He was still lying on the bed, filtering what he saw and heard tonight in his mind.

"According to Winfrey's instructions conveyed by Nello, there is a white library hidden in this Cowell Hotel, which contains secret documents containing the secret biography of the moth and the cup."

"But he didn't explain the source of the information... Maybe even Nello didn't know how Winfreys learned that there was a treasure hidden in the hotel in this remote coastal town."

"It was also so strange when Nello and I went to the Strand Street warehouse to snatch the Marruvim dolls. Those goods were obviously stolen goods that had just been transported, perhaps those gang members had just stolen them from the mansion of a wealthy businessman or nobleman. Come on—but why did Winfrey get such hidden information—after all, even the gang members who are in charge of guarding the warehouse may not know about the stolen goods.”

Watson first ruled out the possibility that Winfreys has established an extremely powerful intelligence team. The mind-similar occultists are better at healing and sports, rather than concealment and theft—although some people in the sect also practice Appearance and enlightenment, but in fact, the heart is the orthodoxy of the Crossroads.

"Could it be that Winfrey still has the secret knowledge of the lamp? With the help of the lamp's enlightenment and seeking knowledge, can he obtain unknown information?"

"No!" He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Winfreys should have learned these hidden information through the secret history!"

"Just like I was able to learn the clues about Glover and Sons before, although the actual results are slightly different from the information recorded in the secret history, it can be seen that the secret history can indeed provide a general direction for the secretaries - although the information is not complete. Accurate, there will be some discrepancies with reality, and it may even be a prediction of the future, or should I say it is another possibility of the future - information from a parallel world?"

"After all, judging from the secret history of the four signatures I learned at the time, it is absolutely impossible for Mary, the moth dancer who belongs to the Shedding Club, to go to 211B Baker Street to seek help from Holmes...and Holmes here is also a female detective."

"Then the secret history is likely to be information from other parallel worlds. The secret of the four signatures I have learned comes from another timeline that faithfully follows the original work!"

"So Winfreys probably learned from Secret History that in another timeline, other characters stole the secret biography of the Moth and Cup from the Cowell Hotel, and that's why he ordered us to come here to snatch it in advance. these documents."

"But where is this secret room hidden? I was the first person to leave the dinner tonight. When I returned to the room, I had already quietly opened the rooms on other floors. The first floor of the hotel is the public area and kitchen, and the second floor is It was an ordinary guest room, even most of the rooms on the third floor were ordinary guest rooms, only the three rooms of the hotel owner Mikalis, the butler Faris and the young man Sebastian had their doors locked. "

"Is the white library hidden in the room of the three of them? According to common sense, it is most likely hidden in the hotel owner's room—"

Watson recalled the innkeeper who showed a strange and deformed form in the vision of the moth. He now knows more and more about all kinds of esoteric believers. Naturally, he can see at a glance that the other person should be a esoteric person who also practiced the principles of lamp, heart and cup. .

"But the lamp is ruthless and rational, and the moth is chaos and passion. How can such secret transmission forces of opposites and conflicts exist in a person's body at the same time? Wouldn't he be overwhelmed by the different desires induced by the lamp and the moth?" split?"

"Is it possible that... this hotel owner is also suffering from the moth in his skull like me, so he seeks to suppress the wildness of the moth with the ruthlessness of the lamp?"

"Perhaps I can also get from him how to use the light phase to suppress the moth in the skull - but my soul body has no space to accommodate the fourth secret phase - maybe wait for this undercover operation After it’s over, I should go back and ask the owner of the Slaughter Club for help and get other secret methods of turning around.”

However, although Watson is so eager to get rid of the influence of the moth in the skull, he wants to get rid of the wild and chaotic heterogeneous desires.

But at this moment, he didn't realize that he was still thinking meaninglessly. This might be his own nature, or maybe it was because the principle of moth had been deeply rooted in his consciousness, subtly affecting his thinking. .

After midnight, the bell struck twice, and the heavy chime from the ancient wooden clock on the first floor of the hotel reached Watson's ears. He wanted to avoid the sound of the four of them going out together, which might wake up the hotel staff. The staff...but most likely the hotel owner and housekeeper could also be aware of their actions.

So he quietly left the hotel and came to a shadowy corner at the back of the hotel where the moonlight could not shine. Looking at the two hotel staff who are not only old in appearance, but also weak in heart.

Waiting until nearly three o'clock, the four members of the Crossroads finally gathered together.

Melanie didn't even need to tap her toes, just a wink, and the other three already understood what she meant, and followed the steps of the nominal leader of this operation down the cliff to the shore full of jagged reefs .

The four of them found a beach with a slightly flatter terrain and silently stood apart in four directions. Melanie, the leader, took out a small leather drum that was only slightly larger than an adult's hand from her arms.

On the way to the small town of Ilksmouth, Watson had already heard Melanie introduce the efficacy and history of this object.

It is said that this is a powerful magic weapon originating from the Western soil of the ancient Eastern country. The drum surface material is made from pure and flawless young girls who have never been contaminated by the slightest turbidity of the world - the devotees have not learned to walk and speak since childhood. They have to endure the punishment of pricking their ears and cutting off their tongues, which is meant to cut off their connection with this filthy world so that the sacrificial instruments will never be contaminated at all.

These devotees need to smear special potions on their backs since childhood, which makes their skin smooth and tough, and also makes the drumheads more elastic, and the sound of drumming is more ethereal, which can please the gods in the sky.

When these pure raw materials are mature, the priests who make them will first ask them to pose in a devout prayer posture, and then they will knock a small hole on the top of the raw materials and pour in irritating mercury. When the raw materials are the freshest, Stripping off the drum material... It took 16 years to make the most holy and flawless magic weapon skin drum!
