Except for the altar of the evil god that can be seen as soon as the secret door is opened, the space behind it is surprisingly peaceful.
Go down a few steps from the secret door to the ground here, surrounded by an exceptionally clean and flat field.
However, as far as the eye can see, there is no floor laid and no load-bearing wooden piles to support it.
This empty space can almost be seen as a natural underground cave.
Except for the evil altar built in the center, there are no piles of corpses around, no harsh and terrifying living sacrifice platforms, and no weird sculptures of the evil sect.
Even compared to the original underground space, not even burrowing insects are visible here.
——Complete silence.
Of course, that doesn't mean this is just pure land.
On the right side of Ronald, there is a large pool.
water......
Wait, pool?
Ronald suddenly became alert.
According to the Cthulhu mythology, isn't Cthulhu the one who belongs to R'lyeh sleeping on the bottom of the sea?
Although this place cannot be the South Pacific.
But the magic techniques of this group of cultists may be closely related to things like water flow!
Thinking of this, Ronald quickly took two steps back.
The black mist spreading in the hall instantly poured into the underground cave, first covering all locations on the ground.
"..."
Ronald looked around quietly.
In the silent underground space, almost no sound could be heard from all around.
The cult warlock didn't know what he added to the candle, which caused the candle's illumination range to be extremely wide, and it was still a very eye-catching green color.
Accompanied by the strange flickering candlelight, this place is in complete silence.
No, the cult warlock has died on it.
Control tense emotions like self-hypnosis.
Ronald calmed down and began to carefully feel the touch of the black mist.
Bypassing the evil statue of the evil god, which must be problematic, the surrounding ground was quickly explored.
But the result......
Still haven't found any clues...
So now the only place left is the pool over there...
Turning his eyes, his eyes fell quietly on the pool over there.
The green candlelight shines on the water, and the motionless water surface is like an emerald buried underground. Although there are no ripples in the mirror-like water, it seems that there is some kind of monster hiding in it.
If the sin of 'wrath' hadn't still reminded Ronald that there was no conscious living person here except him, then he would have definitely been thinking about how to deal with the surprise attack.
--water
——Cthulhu
——The previous physical transformation technique.
Anyone with some knowledge in this area would think the pool is suspicious.
Pat pat pat——
At this moment, Ronald heard approaching footsteps from behind.
He looked back and saw that it was Patricia who had gone down to the cellar.
Because this underground cave is further down in depth, the actual position where Ronald is standing now is much lower than the previous cellar hall.
So from Patricia's point of view, Ronald behind the secret door only had his upper body staring at her.
"Ronald?"
"Are you OK?"
While asking, the girl walked into the underground cave without hesitation.
When she saw the black mist on the ground, she frowned:
"This should be all the influence of your spell, right?"
"That's right."
Ronald nodded, and then recalled the surrounding black mist into his hands.
"I've probably checked everything here. Apart from the pool over there and this statue, there shouldn't be anything else worth noting."
"Is this so..."
Following Ronald's words, Patricia looked around the cave.
The entire cave was just like what Ronald said, and there really wasn't anything noteworthy coming out of it.
The focus of the underground space is completely focused on the sculpture of the evil god.
This is in line with the style of a cult warlock.
On the other hand, the appearance of this underground pool nearby is a bit incomprehensible.
Is it possible that these people also have a hobby of hiding underground and gathering together to take a bath?
Patricia didn't stick to this for too long.
After looking around, the girl cast her eyes on Ronald again.
With a serious tone, she said:
"Ronald, people from the Bureau of Investigation should be here soon to investigate the situation."
"If you don't want to expose your abilities, it's best to withdraw now."
"Just think that I discovered what happened here, and you have gone home by yourself today."
"I can help you deal with the rest."
"..."
Ronald was silent.
To be honest, he didn't expect Patricia to mention this.
He is indeed very wary of a behemoth like the Bureau of Investigation. Coming from a modern society, he knows only too well how difficult it is to deal with an organized and organized institution.
But he really hadn't thought about Patricia's suggestion of covering up for him. Not exposing Yuan Dian's affairs at Burrenwich Railway Station was already a well-intentioned choice.
After thinking for a few breaths, under Patricia's gaze, Ronald chose to leave:
"In that case, I'll withdraw first."
The girl nodded in response:
"Don't worry, there won't be any surprises if you leave this to me."
Ronald then turned and left.
However, before walking out of the cellar, he still did not forget to remind Patricia:
"By the way, Patricia, be careful about that pool."
"In addition to the altar, I think that thing should also be paid more attention to."
"OK."
After completing the final conversation, Ronald returned to the ground from the entrance on the side of the courtyard.
The snowflakes in the sky are falling tirelessly.
In a corner of the courtyard, the umbrella that Patricia had thrown out before was still lying on the ground, its original color covered by snow.
Even the traces left by the self-destruction of the cult warlock before were not visible at all at this time.
Subconsciously, Ronald looked up at the sky.
No light can be seen in the low colors, and the dark night sky makes people feel as cold as the severe cold in winter.
"call--"
"Go home, go home."
"That's it for today."
If he thought about it carefully, he actually didn't need to worry too much about what was hidden here.
It’s totally fine to find out when I go back to work at the Investigation Bureau tomorrow morning, or to ask Patricia later.
Dealing with this group of cult warlocks is actually the common responsibility of the mysterious side of Burrenwich.
I am just one part of it.
Walk out of the yard slowly.
Ronald saw the carriage that Patricia had chased back.
The cult warlock who thought he had successfully escaped was now tied up inside and unconscious.
These guys.
I'm afraid this is the most unlucky thing tonight...
After silently adjusting the control effect of 'Rage' on these people, Ronald shook his head and walked away.
The footprints he left in the snow.
Just a few minutes later, it was completely buried by the heavy snowfall.
