A trip to the second dimension
Chapter 233 Arkham Library
Not long after, the carriage carrying Hope and his group arrived at the Whitechapel area in the north of London.
Whitechapel is one of the seven administrative districts of London, but it is a well-known slum. In order to make a living, the residents here are usually beggars, thieves, murderers and prostitutes. It can be said to be chaotic and dirty.
"Is the Arkham Library you mentioned here? Why did the old man donate books to such a place?"
The carriage stopped, and Miss Barbie jumped out of the car. Looking at the dilapidated environment around her and the library converted from the old church in front of her, she couldn't help but look at Dickens and ask.
Today, no other servants were brought, only a servant in charge of watching the car, and the old butler Dickens was the one who drove the car just now.
Hearing Miss Barbie's question, Dickens just shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the master has been acting a little abnormal recently. I asked him something, but he didn't tell me."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Barbie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
During the time she was away, something must have happened to Richard.
Judging from the situation this morning, Richard's condition was indeed not very good.
But the most important thing now is to get the observatory books back first. I'll talk to him about my father's affairs in detail when I get back.
Under the guidance of Dickens's old housekeeper, Hope and others walked into the Arkham Library together.
The library was converted from a church, and the interior space still retains some of its previous appearance.
However, I don't know if it's because of my sharp mind, as soon as I stepped into the library, Hope felt an uncomfortable darkness in it.
"Who are you?"
In the library, a man with round-framed glasses saw Hope and others, and immediately stood up from behind a wooden table and came to greet them with a book.
This middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance had a very peaceful expression on his face, which made people feel inexplicably good.
"Hello, we are from the Crawford family. This is Barbie Crawford, the daughter of Earl Richard. Didn't the Earl donate a bookshelf of books to your library before? There is a book that Miss Barbie needs very much now, so she wants to come and take it back."
Dickens explained to the middle-aged man with glasses.
Hearing this, the man nodded, and smiled and took Hope and them to a corner of the library, where a bookshelf full of books was placed, all of which were sent by Richard.
"Hope?"
Barbie glanced at Hope.
Hope immediately understood and turned on the eagle vision, and the range of vision within 70 meters was within the range of the ability.
Soon, Hope found a book emitting golden light on the first layer of the bookshelf and walked over immediately.
However, during the movement, Hope noticed that on a wall behind the bookshelf, there was also a golden light in the shape of a secret door.
Eagle vision was turned off, and there was just an ordinary wall there.
There is no doubt that there is a hidden door in the Arkham Library, but I don't know what the secret room behind the hidden door is for.
"Do you see this book?"
I hope to write down the secret door, but I don't say anything.
He took the book with a normal expression, turned around and walked back to Miss Barbie, and handed the book to her.
After taking the book, Miss Barbie quickly flipped through it a few times, and soon found a few pages about the observatory, and nodded happily.
"That's right, this is it."
"Well, since the book has been obtained, let's go back first, it's a bit uncomfortable to stay here."
Kuba rubbed his hands, and a layer of goose bumps had already appeared on his arms under his sleeves.
Everyone nodded, said hello to the ordinary librarian, and then left.
Watching Barbie and the others leave, the administrator silently watched their backs, without saying a word from beginning to end.
After leaving the Arkham Library, Hope turned on the Hawkeye Vision again, looked back at the library, and looked around at the houses around, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Kuba noticed Hope's expression and asked curiously.
"Nothing, let's get in the car and talk about it."
Hope shook his head, and everyone got on the carriage together, and Dickens drove the carriage back to Crawford's mansion.
In the carriage, Hope roughly told everyone what Hawkeye saw.
Now the level 4 Hawkeye has the ability to see through buildings. Within the effective range of 70 meters, Hope can see that there are more than a dozen humans shining with red light in the houses around the Arkham Library.
And when in the Arkham Library, after discovering the secret door, Hope also saw the basement behind the secret door.
The basement is not big, and there are no people moving inside, but Hope saw a few vague human figures.
Those human figures fell to the ground, and they should be dead bodies.
Only a corpse, like those inanimate objects, has only rough outlines drawn with thick lines, but does not emit the faint glow that belongs only to life.
After all, Hawkeye is not a special perspective eye. Although the 4th level Hawkeye has perspective ability, it can only roughly see some outlines inside, but not all details.
But this alone is enough.
Although we don’t know the specific situation, based on the information we hope to know, this Arkham Library is definitely not an ordinary library.
The red light in Hawkeye’s vision, in addition to representing hostility to the Hawkeye user itself, is only marked as a group of evildoers by the world consciousness.
These people must have killed people, and they killed with malice.
Otherwise, the red light on them would not be so obvious.
Hawkeye is an existence that can read the consciousness of the surrounding world. Under the guidance of the supervisor of hope, anyone with red light on his body cannot be considered a good person.
So now the problem comes. There is a secret room under the Arkham Library where corpses are placed.
A group of evildoers who have killed people live in the houses around the library.
Why did Miss Barbie's father, the Earl Richard, donate all the books in that bookcase to this strange library?
Sitting in the carriage, listening to the hopeful discovery.
Miss Barbie fell into silence again.
After running away from home for so many days, her father was indeed a little bit wrong.
Now she is mixed up with this group of murderers. As the daughter of Earl Richard, she really has the obligation to investigate it.
