I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 28 Seeing Elson Again

Watson's consciousness returned to the life form of the waking world, and the secrets learned from the unknown secret transmission in the dream still remained in his mind.

But he can clearly feel that this little-known secret seems not to adapt to the environment outside Mansu, like an ice cube is melting rapidly when exposed to the scorching sun...

He immediately opened the drawer of the bedside table. This high-end VIP ward has already considered that patients may also need to be busy with managing company affairs during their hospitalization, and is equipped with pens and white paper.

Watson quickly wrote down important information on a blank sheet of paper before the secret was completely dissipated:
"Glover & Sons, Alden, Alexis Kennedy."

After he recorded these three messages, the secret in his mind also seemed to realize that he had completed his mission, trembling and dissipating into a wisp of green smoke, as if being taken back by some great existence, leaving only a moment to say memories of passing away.

But Watson forgot all of this, only vaguely remembering that he seemed to bring back some...something in the woodland?

He looked at the white paper that appeared in his hand in a daze, and saw three names written on it. The handwriting was very familiar, just because he seemed to be related to the case files collected by Sherlock Holmes before, and the strokes were very familiar. own handwriting.

"I wrote this?"

"Why should I write down three names?"

"What am I going to do with these three names?"

During this period of time, Watson has had many contacts with the mysterious world, such as the ghost in the garden street, the deformed bug-like patrolman Lance, the bizarre Si Chenzhi, Elson who claims to be an apprentice of the blade, and the chaotic Moth Secret. Biography, the strange dance of the Shedding Club, Harris with limb proliferation...

These experiences seem bizarre, but after Watson’s personal experience, I feel that they are mediocre... The so-called secret transmission can cause people to go crazy is just a small change in temperament, and the so-called secret transmission can cause people to be deformed. A monster that can be defeated with a gun.

On the surface, Watson urged himself to stay vigilant, but in fact, his heart was involuntarily inflated with pride.

It is precisely because of this that I need to keep reminding myself to be cautious, which is a warning issued by a keen sense of rationality and arrogance in my heart...

But at this moment, facing another memory that disappeared strangely, a pale powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he felt faintly afraid.

"I originally thought that I had learned two kinds of secret transmissions one after another, which was already quite remarkable, but I had no idea what to do..."

"The hidden world is far scarier than I imagined!!!"

"But! Because of this, I want to understand the mysterious world more deeply, and work harder to improve secret transmission!"

Watson said word by word from the bottom of his heart:

"Must...be stronger, strong enough to control your own destiny!"

He looked at the address on the paper and thought that although he couldn't remember the reason clearly, these three names must have something to do with the mysterious world... maybe it was a new opportunity.

It's just that I haven't been able to get out to investigate recently—although I learned the secret of the cup from Harris, and the mysterious power of the cup revived his energy, but it was limited to energy, not like a moth. The gift healed all the injuries, and this time he really had to wait in the hospital for the injuries to heal on their own.

…………

Early in the morning, Charlotte Holmes came to the city in a carriage, but instead of rushing to Baker Street, she went to the address that Dr. Natalia told her last night—the headquarters of the Anti-Suppression Bureau.

As a special department for investigating dangerous mysterious crimes, the Headquarters of the Anti-Suppression Bureau is not located in a deserted area between mountains and dense forests like it is written in horror novels.

Instead, it is directly located at the intersection of the inner city and the outer city with convenient transportation.

Charlotte looked up at the four-story building in front of her. It was as square as sliced ​​bread. The only few windows were covered with airtight black curtains. There were watchtowers raised at the four corners of the building, and there were guards standing inside. There are also soldiers with live ammunition patrolling the roof, just like a military fortress built in the city of London.

After getting off the carriage and standing in front of the anti-theft gate as solid as a bank vault, she could sense the hidden gazes of passers-by who seemed to be passing by all around her, which seemed to be secret sentries.

Charlotte knocked hard on the steel door, and after the dull echo, a narrow opening was opened on the edge of the door, only showing the eyes, and a sharp gaze fell on the female detective like a searchlight.

"Reason for visiting?"

Charlotte took out a letter with a special heraldic symbol from her arms, "Confirming the partnership."

Those green eyes scanned the letter back and forth carefully, and closed the small door without a sound.

A moment later, there was a slight clicking sound of gears turning inside the door, and the two doors slowly opened to the outside.

Inside is a straight and spacious corridor with mirror glass installed on both sides, and the person who opened the door for her just now has disappeared.

Charlotte just walked into the building, and the door behind him closed with a bang as if someone was manipulating it.

She walked along the gray-white corridor, looked at the tall and tall figure reflected in the mirror, and guessed that it should be a one-way mirror, and there might be security personnel watching her behind it.

At the end of the corridor is an arc-shaped work desk. Behind the white desk stands a blond lady with a slight smile.

Before Charlotte could speak, the lady at the front desk said:
"Miss Charlotte Holmes, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Charlotte nodded. Last night before Natalia left, she said that she would submit an application for cooperation to her superiors for review. The results are expected to come out today, and she will leave the access certificate of the Anti-Suppression Bureau for her to come over then. Conduct an interview review.

"Where should I go to cooperate with the review?"

The blond lady took out a briefcase from under the table, "Your review has been preliminarily passed. Here are your entry materials and your first investigation task. You can go to the No. 3 quiet room over there to browse or check after you leave .”

The blond lady pointed to the room with a row of blue doors next to it, and the corresponding numbers were painted on the door panels with white paint.

"Okay, thanks."

Charlotte picked up the briefcase and came to the No. 3 quiet room that the other party said. The room was completely white, with only a small light bulb hanging from the ceiling, and a table and two chairs in the middle.

She unwrapped the briefcase, and inside were a few pages of thin paper materials, and an irregular stone threaded with gold wire, which looked as unremarkable as a small stone that was readily available on the street.

Charlotte put the stone under the light and observed carefully, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint light flowing inside the dark stone, revealing the brilliance of the setting sun.

"What kind of mysterious object is this?"

This question was quickly answered, and the stack of papers in her hand specifically recorded the name and purpose of this object.

[Stone of the Noon: A tool containing mysterious power, with a faint brilliance inside. It is worn with gold thread and hung around the neck. It can resist the impact of hidden knowledge/distorted creatures on the spirit and preserve reason. 】

"Is this the method the Anti-Suppression Bureau relies on to resist the mysterious and unknown Chens?"

Charlotte hung the Stone of Noon around her neck, and actually felt a subtle feeling grow in her heart, making her more rational and calm.

"It's amazing..."

With a desire for knowledge that thrived like a bud, she continued to browse.
