Chapter 123 Chess Pieces

Outside the Windmill Theatre.

Patrick sat restlessly on the carriage, and through the window, he looked at the Windmill Theater, which still had a little light in the night.

"Are you really sure we want to go in to find evidence? I mean, at least it would be more normal to come here during the day." Patrick didn't approve of Aliena's risky behavior, especially when she was outside the theater , Looking at the huge black theater, which looked as cold as a man-eating monster under the dim moonlight, and thinking of the experience of Aliena's brutal murder, he couldn't help shivering.

"It's useless, you just need to hide in the carriage, I will float in directly in the state of a soul, anyway, I can ignore the barrier of the wall at this time." Alena cast a disdainful glance at Patrick:
"Wait for me outside with the bracelet."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Patrick to react, she floated directly through the carriage and came to the empty street.

Fortunately, it was already very late at this time. Even in a place like Soho, there were not many pedestrians on the roadside. In addition, Patrick deliberately parked the carriage in a relatively hidden corner, and the coachman sat in the front seat and could not see. to the rear compartment.
In short, the timing is right now, otherwise, Aliena's method of direct disagreement through the wall will make a big news no matter what.

"But Mrs. Stubbs said that you can't leave the bracelet for too long." Patrick said to himself: "And frankly, it's strange for me to be here in a carriage by myself, and in case You have made a big commotion inside, as long as someone with a heart checks it out, they will definitely suspect me."

After talking to himself, Patrick seemed to cheer himself up.He clapped his hands, turned and opened the carriage door, and after paying the coachman a few shillings, he also walked towards the Windmill Theatre.

Sherlock followed behind River, Sakaya, and Harper, and cautiously approached the suspected tomb.

Walking to the entrance of the tomb, there is an exquisite stone door, on which are carved various stories from the allusions of the holy gods, including angels, demons, and all kinds of mortals prostrated on the ground and praying humbly.

Harper is at the forefront. He is a swordsman and is good at close combat.

But for a swordsman, picking locks is obviously not his specialty, so when he came to the door, he had to turn his head slightly and pouted at Shakaya.

It is obviously not the first time for them to cooperate in action, and they have a good understanding with each other. After seeing Harper's gesture, Sakaya immediately understood that there is a relatively complicated lock on the stone door, so she stepped forward lightly. After a few steps, like a nimble lynx, he came to Harper's side silently and swiftly.

Sakaya gestured to Harper, signaling him to be on the sidelines, because no one can guarantee what will greet them inside after the stone door is opened, in case the other party's person guards the door or evacuates with the other party At this time, both Harper and herself had to respond immediately.

As for River, he was at the rear of the team with a gun, while Sherlock stood at the end. After all, no one expected him to provide any help in combat.

Of course, Sherlock is also happy to be at leisure. He used to do things like lockpicking by himself, but now someone helps to do it for him, and he is also a senior agent trained by the Bureau of Secrecy. He is very professional in these things.

Ten seconds later, under the tense gaze of everyone, Sakaya took out a special slender iron piece from her arms, and gently stretched it to the keyhole. Next, there was a very slight sound of metal twisting in the keyhole of the stone door, and then she turned her head to show the three people's eyes, and then twisted her wrist slightly, and the stone door opened silently.

The moment the stone door opened, everyone held their breath involuntarily.

Along with the slight air flow, Sherlock smelled an earthy smell unique to the catacombs.

Of course, this smell is not unfamiliar to him, but to his surprise, there is no obvious stale smell in the tomb, which is obviously very different from ordinary tombs.

Sherlock's nostrils expanded slightly, and he sniffed twice carefully.

He had a bad premonition. This stale air made him faintly suspect that the scale of this catacomb might be much larger than everyone expected. Bigger than expected.

[There is no ambush. 】

After Shimen opened a gap slightly, Sakaya made a judgment based on her rich experience, and then made a gesture to everyone to convey this meaning.

Seeing this, River also gave Shakaya a gesture to move on.

Harper and Sakaya nodded. Harper was still at the front. He had taken off the long sword he was carrying and held it in his hand. With his appearance of a wandering poet, if you ignore him With that set of combat uniform issued uniformly by the Tactical Mobile Squad, Hubble looks like a medieval witcher right now.

The aisle of the tomb is as narrow as everyone expected. The stone walls of the aisle and the earth-stone steps below are very delicately decorated, especially the stone walls on both sides, which are painted with various religious meanings in bright colors mural.

Combined with the not-so-simple specifications and structure of this tomb, it can fully explain the unusual identity and origin of the original owner of the tomb.

Sherlock walked in the third position among the four.

At the beginning of entering the tomb, he still had enough energy to observe the situation on the left and right sides, but as he continued to go deeper, because the catacombs were not illuminated by candles, his world fell into darkness. With Kaya's help, he felt that he might lose his way in this dark darkness.

Fortunately, the members of the Tactical Mobile Squad have very rich experience. When everyone comes to the basement floor, they will soon meet the first turning of the tomb aisle, that is, they will bid farewell to the moonlight that broke into the deep underground through the stone door of the tomb. At that time, River had been prepared to take out a tube from his arms, and with the twisting of his arm, there was a faint fluorescence in the tube.

This kind of fluorescence is not bright, and Sherlock can't even use this faint light to see the patterns on the stone walls on both sides of him clearly, but Harper and Sakaya, who have been professionally trained, can use this faint fluorescence to help Down, see the road ahead.

[Is this the Transcendent of the Gate of Omnipotence? 】

Sherlock has heard before that compared with other paths, transcendents of this path have stronger environmental adaptability at low levels.

Transcendents of the Eternal Balance Path and the Pure White Eye Path, because no physical changes are involved in the lower ranks, there is almost no difference between the physical body and ordinary people.Therefore, this kind of adaptability seems to be much worse. Of course, the physical body of the superhumans of the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates path will not change. They just use the power of the image they imitated to obtain some kind of semi-permanent strengthening.

Just when Sherlock was feeling emotional, the group went a long way underground. According to Sherlock's estimation, everyone should have reached the position equivalent to the third floor underground.

[Something is wrong. Logically speaking, a normal tomb should have a tomb on each floor, but this tomb only has a winding passageway down, but there is no tomb for the coffin. 】

The observed details made Sherlock feel a little bad, but he has no way to communicate with other members of the team for the time being, after all, he is not sure whether talking out loud will cause other troubles.

So Sherlock fell into hesitation, he hesitated a little.However, just as he was hesitating, the whole team stopped abruptly, and Sherlock quickly raised his head to look forward, but it was pitch black, and with his eyesight, he couldn't discern what was ahead in such weak lighting conditions.

However, with the help of the faint fluorescence in River's hand, he could barely see that not far ahead, Harper raised his right hand slightly, making a gesture to stop advancing.

"What's going on?" Sherlock leaned close to Sakaya's ear, and he still couldn't help asking.

Sakaya did not answer his question, but turned to look at River, and made a gesture to increase the lighting.

Theoretically, in such a dark tomb, any too obvious light will increase the risk of exposure for everyone.But River believed in the judgment of his teammates, he twisted the strange fluorescent prop in his hand again, and then a brighter green light appeared in the aisle of the catacomb, and now Sherlock could finally see what was in front of him It blocked the way of everyone. It was half of the body, the half of the body hanging above the aisle.

The hands of the body hang down from top to bottom, obviously there is no wind or obvious air flow, but the hanging arms, which look like dry bones, are swaying gently.

It was as if he was welcoming everyone.
