Whispering Poems

Chapter 350 Scarlet Esoteric Sect
"Teacher, teacher"

Mr. Scott pointed to the painting put back in the safe by Shade in shock. Professor Katya shook his head:

"Calm down, Scott. Do you think a folklorist's job is to read documents in an office? Calm down, oh, Scott, you're a good boy, calm down!"

"Teacher, have you seen this kind of thing before?"

"I've seen scarier ones. This is the first time I've brought you out to see the world. If you're still willing to learn from me, you'll encounter more things sooner or later."

The young scholar showed a frightened expression. Professor Katya felt a little disappointed, and said to Xia De again:
"Sir, from your expression, you should not just"

"Yes."

Xia De took out the certificate and shook it in front of Professor Katya:
"MI[-], we're looking for a shipment of contraband. I'm an MI[-] agent and Miss Princes is my boss."

There is no problem with this statement.

Professor Katya is obviously a person who has seen the world. He took a look at the certificate and knew it was true:
"Then it looks like we're really in big trouble this time. Mr. Agent, what else is in the safe?"

"Deeds and deeds, it appears that most of the houses in this lane, except this house, belong to Mr. Jude. There are also some jewels, banknotes, and queer badges and seals."

The professor took the stone imprint that Xia De took out, looked at it, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened:
"Scarlet Secret Cult!"

"what?"

Xia De asked in surprise, and Mr. Scott, who was still in shock, was also puzzled, but Rezia thought about it and gave an explanation:
"Scarlet Esoteric Cult is an ancient name, and its official name today is a cult group that believes in the evil god [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral]."

"Teacher, Mr. Jude is a cultist?"

The young man seemed even more flustered. He thought it was an ordinary academic investigation, but he didn't expect to encounter such an exciting thing.

And the professor is much calmer:
"Don't be so flustered. To be a folklorist, you have to deal with people like this. Oh, look at this book."

Professor Katya took the book he just took out of the safe from Shad. The black cover of the book reads "The Mystery of the Sea". Red brick:
"Didn't think I'd be able to see this! Now, I suspect that Mr. Jude himself is one of the organizers of the cult. Gentlemen and ladies, look at this, this book is banned. When I was young, I assisted the church in conducting I have done research and read the manuscript of this book. "The Mystery of the Sea" is the identity symbol of the hosts of the Scarlet Esotericism. The book records some very terrible things in ancient language, even more terrible than that painting , even ordinary people may go crazy just by looking at it.”

This kind of statement is a bit like those books that can carry spiritual runes.But instead of asking for the book the professor was holding, Shad took out more letters from the safe.

Most of the letters are written in the common language of Delarion, a small part is in Carsonrique, and a very small part uses unknown strange characters.He selected a few letters written in an unknown language and opened them. Those conch-shaped characters were obviously not characters used by humans, but Xia De understood them.After a few glances, Professor Katya's opinion was basically confirmed:
"We have to leave quickly. Judging from the content of the letter, this ancient alley is the settlement of the cult. The people who disappeared nearby were all taken away by them. This time the luck is really bad, and it probably really messed with everyone. Trouble."

He randomly grabbed a few letters and stuffed them into his pocket. The professor looked at the book in his hand with some reluctance, but it was too big, so he could only reluctantly give it up.

Xia De and Leiziya are not very interested in this book. Although it is possible to obtain spiritual runes through reading, they are more likely to be polluted by the knowledge of evil gods. thing.

So I can only leave the book and prepare to leave.

"Scott, get ready to smash the windows."

As the professor said, he and Shad raised their guns and pointed at the closed door.The young scholar who was mentally traumatized by witnessing the strange painting reacted a bit before picking up a stool and slamming it against the window.

Kacha~
Mr. Scott tried his best, but the glass didn't move at all. Instead, the chair in his hand cracked after a loud noise.

Attracted by the abnormal voice outside the door, Shade patted the professor on the shoulder, handed him his normal revolver, pushed Mr. Scott away, and punched the window.

Of course, Xia De didn't want to use his body to fight against the specially made hard glass. Before he swung his fist forward, the silver moonlight had already flown out.

At this moment, the doorknob was turned from the outside, and then the door was pushed open——

Bang!Bang!
The professor calmly held two guns and fired. The male servant who tried to break in the door was immediately hit by his bullets. After yelling, he staggered and fell to the floor.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Scott's sight was also attracted by the door, Rezia walked quickly to Xia De's side, pressed her hand on the glass that had been split out of the gap, and pushed it lightly, and the whole piece of glass was shattered into pieces. Glass slag.

"Come on!"

Xia De shouted loudly, and more and more voices were appearing in the dark corridor outside the door.

"You go first!"

The professor shouted that, with the gun in both hands, he could quickly press the firing pin of Shade's revolver with his thumb.

The male servant who fell to the ground and twitched was obviously hit in the heart, but he didn't die, and he still wanted to struggle to stand up.There was a gurgling sound in his throat, which was actually a language, and he was calling for help.It seems that the male servant was monitoring here in the corridor just now, and was the first to run over when he found something was wrong.

"you go first!"

Xia De said to the princess, and the red-haired girl jumped out of the window into the heavy rain without any scruples.

bang bang bang~
The professor fired several shots, causing the twitching male servant on the ground to twitch even more violently.But he is still not dead, the bullet holes on his body are smoking, and his face seems to be melting, and he is changing in some ugly and terrible direction:

"Mr. Scott, it's your turn! Jump!"

"But this is the second floor. I see."

The young scholar was frightened by the sudden scene in front of him, but seeing that the weak lady dared to jump off the building, he also yelled and jumped down.

"Professor, it's our turn!"

Xia De pulled Professor Katya past him, and while retreating, the professor calmly shot back, forcing the shadows in the corridor not to enter the range of the door.

When the two came to the window, Xia De dropped the frog legs, then pulled the professor and jumped, jumping directly out of the window sill from the ground.When lightly stepping on the puddles on the road, there is not much water splashing under the feet.

He even had enough strength to support Professor Katya's back so that the professor could land safely.

This caused Professor Katya, who was standing in the rain, to look at his legs in surprise, wondering why he was so good today.

"Run here! My people are one street away, we'll be safe if we run out of here!"

Rezia said loudly in the rain that the rain was stronger than they thought. Now whether it is a shooting or a bomb explosion, it is impossible to spread it beyond a street.
