Chapter 104 The Crow and the Blood
St. Mary's Chemical Plant.

"There are indeed signs of being broken in here, and two guards also mysteriously disappeared, but apart from that, we did not find any other abnormalities." Harper, the captain of the tactical mobile team who arrived in advance, reported to Di Renjiehui.

Harper is a vicissitudes middle-aged man with the temperament of a wandering poet. His skin is slightly pale and he has a clear and flat jaw line. Of course, this is more due to his wide chin than some low body fat .

"First seal off all the production lines, then carefully check the surrounding situation, and notify the person in charge of the chemical plant that there is a problem in the chemical plant, and he needs to come and take a look at it overnight." Di Renjie ordered in an orderly manner.

"The porter has obvious signs of activity. The water in a water glass is still warm, and one of the defensive sticks on the weapon rack is missing. It seems that there is only one guard here today, but he may have to do his duty. I paid the price." Sherlock briefly checked the porter, and said with some regret.

"Oh, I hope he will have good luck." Although in Di Renjie's view, the guard's life safety may not be optimistic.

"In this way, Vasily and the others have already succeeded, and they have even been evacuated from the chemical plant with a high probability." Di Renjie touched his chin, feeling that things had become more difficult.

"By the way, Sir Francis, I still have a question to ask you." Di Renjie thought of a new question, so he looked at Mr. Pocket Watch who had been watching the show in the pocket of Sherlock's jacket:
"I remember that for the transcendents of the bottomless abyss path, sacrificing the lives of living people can help them advance, isn't that true?"

"Generally yes, but the truth is more cruel. In fact, as long as the followers of the abyss try to climb higher, they must sacrifice to please the greedy and evil abyss. That is to say, death and pain It's not just their help, but also some kind of necessity and necessity." Francis explained in a serious tone, the small face outlined with simple lines showed a solemn expression that was different from the past.

"So in your opinion, are the crimes we have seen tonight part of a sacrifice?" Di Renjie asked.

"Based on what I know about those bastards in the shadows, I can say with certainty that all of this is probably part of the ritual of a second-level transcendent trying to advance to the third level." Francis said firmly .

Di Renjie nodded, and then asked the last question: "Then when the sacrificial ceremony begins, can the host of the ceremony leave the ceremony site?"

Francis said sadly: "This is possible. For a higher-level existence like the bottomless abyss, the physical distance in the mortal world is meaningless. No matter how far they are from the scene, as long as the mystical causal connection is established , then the final results of this sacrificial ceremony will be recorded on their heads, and even if they are thousands of miles away, they will all receive gifts from the bottomless abyss."

"That is to say, after completing the layout here, they can escape from London immediately." Di Renjie frowned slightly, which gave him a very bad feeling. He recalled the previous pursuit of the imperial crown. In the process, is there going to be another big blockade of the station and dock this time?
"No, not that fast. Regardless of whether they have come here to release poison a few days ago, at least the residual temperature in the water cup can prove that they have just been to the chemical plant not long ago. The reason that prompted them to go to the chemical plant tonight must be It was because they noticed our snooping and attack on the clinic, so they were forced to execute the final plan ahead of schedule in a hurry. It was about the same time that Locke and the corpse-eating vines started the war.

"In this way, the time taken to get from the fort to the chemical plant is deducted, and the time they spend putting the chemical in the chemical plant is subtracted, and the time spent cleaning up the guards may even be included.

"So they actually left no longer than when our vanguard arrived here. And the St. Mary's Chemical Plant is not like the original British Museum. Its location is remote, and it takes a horse-drawn carriage to travel 20 miles to the nearest train station. minutes, and the nearest pier is more than an hour." Thinking of this, Di Renjie immediately made a decision:

[It's time to compare the speed again. 】

He smiled self-deprecatingly, then Fenglei turned around routinely, and said to Kelly:
"Is there a telephone installed in the chemical plant?"

"Yes," Kelly nodded quickly.

"Contact the White Tower headquarters immediately, we need to make the Stratford Station emergency shut down for a period of time. In addition, contact the crow lady in the Crow Tower and ask her to monitor all the moving objects within 10 kilometers around the Fort area. Horse-drawn carriages, especially those moving towards the Thames River at high speed. At this time, most of the citizens have already fallen asleep, and the Fort is far away from the bustling business district, so there are not many carriages on the street at this time." Di Renjie Having said that, the words suddenly paused, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"Remember to add to Ms. Crow that it's overtime now, and the wages will be tripled."
-
White Tower, Crow Tower.

A telephone rang from the towering Raven Tower, and then a lady's exclamation came from the tower.

A moment later, a black object that looked like a missile flew out of the crow tower that fell into a brief silence, followed by the second, third, and fourth
There are more and more black missiles, from sporadic ones or two to clusters, clusters, pieces, and then pouring out of the tower like raindrops in a storm. The black spire is like a brush pen penetrating into the night, just flickering here With a light touch on the black rice paper dotted with starlight, thick ink stains suddenly spread out.

The ink, like a giant, gradually rose into the air and circled, and then spread out suddenly, like a suddenly diluted ink blob, circled into a dome in the sky, and finally poured away to the northeast of London like a sky curtain.
-
"Seeing those things, it must be abnormal." Vasili pointed to the crows hovering in the sky above, and slowly closed the warehouse door.

At this time, a carriage was parked in the warehouse.

"If we continue to walk on the road, it's too dangerous at night. Instead, we hide here. As long as we escape for one night, we can pretend to be ordinary people and leave tomorrow. We just need to wait for the ceremony to complete. It is enough to get feedback, we have already offered a lot of sacrifices before, and counting this last round, such sacrifices are enough to push us both to the third level." Vasily said with a sigh of relief.

"Don't talk about that, let's get rid of this person first." Cui Qian dragged a corpse from the car with a dissatisfied expression.

"It's simple," Vasily took out a blood-red dagger with a hideous shape.

"Blood Burning Blade?" Cui Qian had a horrified expression on her face, she obviously recognized this weapon: "This is an alchemy weapon close to the third level, why is it in your hands? Where did you come from?"

"You don't have to worry about it, first carry him to the bathroom with me." Vasili didn't explain much, and carried the guard's body to the bathroom with Trish, and they threw the body into the bathtub together .

Then Vasili picked up the burning blood blade and stabbed it into the guard's abdomen:

"That's fine. Afterwards, his blood will be cursed and start to burn on its own. In the end, his whole body will burn into a puddle of blood. At that time, we only need to clean the bathtub, and there will be no traces."

"Boom," a blood hole appeared in Vasily's chest.

This is the sound of gunshots.
