I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 183 Rebuilding the List
The attitude of the stranger is so sincere and serious, his eyes are burning like a raging fire inside.

That was the rage of hatred that Ms. Susan was most familiar with. She had witnessed the same flame in the eyes of every town citizen, and even she would be burning with such a flame at that time.

This sense of empathy from similar experiences made her unable to help but feel empathy. It was an empathy that only people with deep blood feuds could understand... Susan couldn't help but be willing to believe the words of the young man in front of her. Perhaps even she She couldn't explain the source of this trust, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that she could understand the other person's thoughts, as if she had come into contact with the deepest and softest place in the other person's heart.

Such a common emotion made Susan's eyes wet unconsciously, and she began to reveal all her deepest secrets without reservation.

"It was a winter night 18 years ago, three days before Christmas."

"The weather that year was extremely cold, and the goose-feather heavy snow kept falling. The whole town was almost drowned by the gray snow. Humphrey, the father of my husband Caroline who had never met him, he As a last resort, we have to clear the snow in front of our door every morning to prevent the road out from being flooded.”

"According to the situation in previous years, when it is so close to Christmas, there will no longer be out-of-town guests traveling to this town to visit the Cowell Hotel on the cliff - at this time, the Cowell Hotel is still a magnificent building. The building, whenever the first golden ray of the morning sun shines on the spire that is purer than snow, the Cowell Hotel, which shines like gold, is the most beautiful memory of our townspeople’s childhood.”

"But on such a cold day that year, a group of outsiders came to the town of Ilksmouth through the mountain road that should have been flooded by heavy snow. There were more than a dozen of them, including men, women, old and young. , all wearing uniforms. I was already pregnant with Caroline and was raising a baby at home, so I didn’t really see this group of outsiders.”

"But according to Humphrey, the leader of these people is a middle-aged leader who is obviously from a noble family. His clothes are gorgeous and bright, made of materials we have never seen before, and his words and deeds exude an unquestionable aura of majesty. What impressed my husband the most was the pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose - those glasses were like gems in a storybook. They looked particularly bright and gorgeous in such a gray weather. The transparent lenses seemed It emits pure white light on its own, rather than reflecting light sources elsewhere.”

"And..." Susan suddenly showed a hint of fear when recalling the words relayed by her husband, and her tone began to tremble. She didn't know whether she was imitating her husband's expression at that time, or she couldn't help but recall those frightening scenes.

"When the eyes behind those glasses looked at me, I felt as if a strong light came from the other person's light gray eyes, penetrated my skin, penetrated my flesh and blood, and continued Going deep into my heart, it's as if all my secrets are nakedly displayed under those gray eyes, not hidden at all."

"After this group of strange guests arrived in the town, they went straight to the Cowell Hotel on the cliff - just like the other guests, all the outsiders who came here came to the Cowell Hotel. In more detail, they should all come here for the collection of Master Michaelis, but in fact, none of us townspeople have come into contact with the collection of Master Michaelis. It is said that those bulky thick books are written in languages ​​other than English. It is written in words that we cannot read at all.”

"As for what happened to this group of strange tourists after they went to the cliff, it is unknown. No one in the town knows the details. We only know that according to what Mr. Farris later reported, these people visited Mika After entering Master Lis’s library, it seems that a dispute broke out with Mr. Michaelis, and he also wanted to borrow the collection of books accumulated by the Michaelis family for many years, saying that he would take them back to the capital for reproduction and collection.”

"It is naturally impossible for Master Michaelis to agree to this unreasonable request, and these foreigners who were rejected began to hold grudges, intending to forcibly snatch it, and began to pry open Master Michaelis late at night when everyone was asleep. After Mr. Farris discovered the door of the library, he didn’t even know how to repent and wanted to empty the library directly.”

"Faced with Mr. Farris's obstruction, they even used evil spells to attack, but they never expected that the Gowell Hotel was a place protected by the Goddess of the Sea. All those evil spells were under the protection of the Goddess of the Sea. There was nothing to hide under the sacred light." Susan was a little angry and a little fanatical when she said this. It seemed that this so-called goddess of the sea had won the belief of the townspeople, "but then they saw that the magic was useless, so they actually took it out Muskets and bombs! The Cowell Hotel was blown to pieces.”

"At that time, there were more than ten people in the Michaelis family, including hired workers, and they all took out their firearms to meet the enemy and fight to the end with these damn greedy outsiders!"

"My husband Humphrey, after hearing the explosion on the cliff, followed Mr. Leeson's leadership and picked up weapons and went to the hotel to help the Michaelis family-"

Susan began to choke and sob as she spoke. Watson handed over a clean handkerchief at the right time. She thanked her slightly and wiped her tears and continued: "But on the way up the mountain, everyone in the town encountered someone who was escaping with a collection of books. That group of outsiders cast strange and terrifying evil spells, which caused everyone's mental confusion and hallucinations. They actually mistook their companions for enemies and started killing each other!"

"Not long after Humphrey left, the town began to hear successive explosions. I was so scared that I hid in the cellar, hiding in the potato pile, trembling while listening to the vibrations and sounds coming from the earth. It took a long time until the sound of the explosion calmed down completely before he walked out of the door cautiously."

"It was already light at this time, but the town was filled with wisps of black smoke. Some houses were still burning. The Cowell Hotel on the cliff was almost razed to the ground, and the golden spire disappeared forever."

"And there were dark red blood stains and broken corpses everywhere on the road. My husband, my parents, my neighbors, and many people I knew died tragically in the attack that night!!!"

Susan's crying reached its peak at this moment. Although she was sad, she still tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart. She covered her cheeks with her fat palms to prevent the sound of tears and crying from reaching upstairs and disturbing her daughter and daughter who were having an intimate conversation. Future son-in-law.

After waiting for a moment, Watson asked softly: "As far as you know, during the subsequent construction process of the Gowell Hotel, did the group of cultists continue to attack? And which townspeople helped Rebuild the hotel?”

Susan was immersed in grief at this moment, and she really knew everything. She quickly revealed the list and address of the people who were rebuilding the Cowell Hotel at that time.

At this point, the use value of this mother who was tortured by hatred has been squeezed out completely. Watson looked at the fat woman who was still sobbing uncontrollably and thought in his heart:

"Shall I also leave the moth scales inside Susan so that she can exert her last remaining value in four days?"
