I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 9
The coquettish red light that burst out from Lance's skull refracted into Watson's eyes through the mirror-like pool of blood on the ground.

His eyes flickered red in response, and a strong thirst for knowledge suddenly arose in his heart, like some kind of irresistible physiological need.

It was like being lost in a hot desert, dehydrated and thirsty tormenting him, every cell in his body was urging and shouting: "Book! Book! Book! Open that book!!!"

Watson is still insisting on resisting, but his body has already succumbed to this unimaginable hunger and thirst. The soul and the body seem to be separated. He tremblingly reached out to grab the books on the ground, opened the pages and read eagerly .

There was a frantic frenzy on his face, very much like Lance who had just eaten his wife's corpse.

This book is actually a translation. I don’t know if it’s because the translator’s level is limited or it’s intentional.

Si Chenzhi records a possibly fictitious mythical story, which mainly tells the story of three otherworldly gods in a certain dark forest.

These three gods are moth, black flax and ring fir, and they are collectively called Hours, which either means to control time or represent the laws of nature.

The description of the three Sichens in the book is vague, difficult to understand logic, and extremely obscure, making it pale and boring to read.But Watson was mesmerized. These incomprehensible knowledge passed through his mind, satisfying the sourceless hunger and thirst in his body, just like drinking cool spring water in midsummer, every pore on his body was full of blood. comfortable.

But this comfort was disturbed by a loud cry, which kept whispering in Watson's ear, making him feel restless. He looked up angrily, and saw the female detective's pretty little face was full of anxiety and worry .

"Watson! Watson! Wake up!!!"

Watson looked around in a daze. This was the home of the patrolman Lance. He was lying on the sofa with the disembowelled female corpse. Under his feet was the human-like insect head that he had chopped off with his own hands...

"I just... fell asleep?"

Watson felt as if he had had a strange dream just now, but he could not remember the details of the dream.

Seeing the assistant wake up safely, the female detective breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "You fell asleep?! I thought you lost too much blood and passed out!!!"

"Perhaps this gentleman has been too tired recently."

At this time, a lady with an unfamiliar face came in from the kitchen of Lance's house. She was petite, elegant, and dressed in a dignified manner. She had fashionable short fluffy hair, and her earlobes were trinkets like dumping gourds. She was slender and fair. There are two strings of pearl necklaces hanging on his neck. His facial features are not outstanding, but a pair of big eyes are bright and energetic, revealing wisdom and alertness.

Holmes introduced: "This is Dr. Natalia Long, a special investigator from the Anti-Suppression Bureau."

Watson asked in confusion: "The Anti-Suppression Bureau?"

"The Suppression Bureau, we are a non-public department directly under the cabinet, and are responsible for handling cases that are not suitable for disclosure to the public." Dr. Natalia Long explained with a smile, pointing to the headless corpse on the floor , "Just like this case."

Watson asked: "Listen to you... Bizarre cases like this are not uncommon in this world?"

"This should be the knowledge locked in the file, but since the two of you have already participated in the main link of the case, I will no longer hide it, and I thank you for keeping the things you hear next secret."

Natalia said seriously.

"Human beings are not the masters of the world!"

"In the unknown corners of history, there is hidden the real master of the earth-Si Chen!
"Early when the earth was still young, long before the appearance of human beings, the celestial beings have ruled the world."

"They hide deep under the surface of the world, behind the curtain of history, or directly participate, incarnated as legendary gods, heroes in epics. Or they live behind the scenes in the dark, always manipulating the development of human beings, adjudicating which events become history, and what history should be written into the future."

"Everything that happens in the world is just a game on the board for Si Chen. Disputes between countries, natural disasters... are games that Si Chen never tires of."

"Sichen is happy to see human suffering, betrayal, deceit, slaughter, madness... For this reason, they sprinkled evil knowledge in the world."

"These evil taboo knowledge will make the minds of the audience and listeners crazy, and the body will be deformed, just like this ghost." Dr. Natalia Long kicked Lance's head, "But these are all Can't stop heretics who chase after forbidden power."

"In order to please the adoring Si Chen, in order to gain power beyond the limits of human beings, the insane pagans create chaos and misfortune in the world."

Dr. Natalia Long's voice was powerful, as solemn and solemn as a declaration under the national flag, "The purpose of our Anti-Suppression Bureau is to protect the citizens of Great Britain from those hidden and supernatural hazards. Threatening, investigating, hunting down, judging and punishing these inhuman heretics! Cut off the minions of the ministers reaching out to the world!"

After hearing this, Watson fell into deep thought. It sounds like this world is far more dangerous than he imagined. There is still a god named Si Chen silently manipulating the whole world... But why does the name Si Chen feel like this? It is very familiar, as if I have heard of it somewhere.

He is not a fledgling stunned young man, and he does not blindly believe what the other party says.

At least the part about the responsibilities of the Anti-Suppression Bureau can't be fully believed-if the Anti-Suppression Bureau is as powerful as Natalia said, then he wouldn't have encountered the insectized Lance in the first case.

Watson turned to look at Holmes, expressing doubts with his eyes: "Do you really believe what she said?"

Holmes nodded slightly. She had already verified Natalia's identity earlier, "Watson, leave this case to Dr. Natalia. I will take you to the hospital for treatment first."

The female detective left Audley's apartment with her limping assistant, and took Victor's carriage to the best Royal Hospital in London.

After they left, Natalia found two bloody books from under the cushion of Lance's wife's body. The title of the book on the cover was covered by dried blood, and the pages inside were also soaked in blood. Everything is stuck together, even if you tear it apart with great effort, you can only see puddles of unidentified blood stains.

Natalia's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"It's a good thing it's damaged, now you don't have to worry about the two detectives getting contaminated..."

However, in the blind corner of the anti-suppression bureau investigator's field of vision, some corpse-like phenomenon suddenly occurred on the overturned Lance's head. The muscles of his cheeks began to contract, and the corners of his mouth were pulled up, as if he was laughing.

　It stands to reason that the history in the secret religion is not only decided by Si Chen, the library also participates, but now there is too little information obtained from the decryption of insects and birds, and we will consider whether to introduce the settings of the nine major libraries in the future
