Mary's Nineteenth Century

"Klizzie-yazzi, Moasi, Ne-ahs-jhs..."

A string of strange notes came from the mouth of the man with the scar. He didn't speak fast, and Mr. G had a bit of trouble hearing it.

The two talked secretly for 5 minutes on the other side of the corridor.

Mr. G turned back to the office again, muttering something while walking, as if complaining about why he had to use a secret language.

Push open the ajar door of the office.

Mr. G entered and saw two people sitting on chairs.He subconsciously covered his stomach, and the nausea that had just been aroused by the love story of the rich businessman Tony's previous life came up again.

"continue."

This time, Mr. G went straight to the topic, "What kind of head power do you want to get? Although the Erjiuhui has a lot of collections, it is not always possible to prescribe the right medicine for the case. And there are other conditions for membership, and you all have psychology. Are you ready?"

Mary vowed, "Ready, do you need us to submit a certificate? Dr. Incarnation didn't go into details, only said that it is related to the cemetery. Do you need us to dig up the corpse?"

Moulton was killed, and many celebrity tombs were looted. The kind of ruthless tomb robbers are veterans at first glance.According to general logic, newly recruited members are unlikely to participate in core group activities.

At this moment, Mary hopes to get a layman's job, and then she can follow the vine to catch them all.Dr. Avatar's tips and so on are all made up.

"Yes, according to the rules, two things need to be paid to join the club."

Mr. G stretched out two fingers, "A membership fee of [-] pounds per person, and one head per person. I don't care where you got your head, I'll cut it off and bring it here."

Mary disagreed, "God! Is this enough? I think it's a little unfair."

"what?"

Mr. G didn't understand for a while. Someone suggested that beheading was too cruel, but Dr. Brown in front of him thought it was not enough?

"I want a skull like John Dee."

Mary expressed her longing, "It's just a random skull as a membership fee, that's too unfair."

Who is John Dee?

Mr. G froze for a moment, it sounded like he should be a very powerful person, but he couldn't think of it immediately.

"Yes. Only a wise man who can delve into the "Book of Sawyer", the power of his head can help me completely restore the memory of my previous life."

Mycroft spoke at the right time, revealing John Dee's identity without any trace. "I need a great occultist like Dee."

Yes!

When Mr. G heard "Sawyer's Book", he remembered who Dee was.He was a mysterious figure hundreds of years ago and a confidant of Queen Elizabeth I.

For a while, Mr. G burst into a stomachache.

These two Yankees really dare to think!There was no more Dee's skull at the Twenty-Nine, any more than Newton's or Shakespeare's.

"There is a principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy."

Mr. G pretended to be calm, "Mr. Tony's past life dream problem doesn't need to alarm Dee at all, just another mystic will do."

Immediately, Mr. G reported several names.

"Is that so..."

Mary acted a little disappointed, still trying to fight for it. "Actually, we can pay more, just asking Mr. Tony's wish to be fulfilled in one fell swoop."

"Everything can't be done overnight."

How can Mr. G say that the association can't get a more famous head in the occult.Even if there is, it is only used by core members.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what the man with the scar had said. There was a major sacrifice in the near future, and a batch of auxiliary materials was needed.It's not impossible to find two people to share these tiring and dirty jobs.

"However, the two of you came at the right time."

Mr. G changed the topic, "If you can find all the things on the list, I can apply upwards to reserve a better mysticist head for you."

"Thank you, we will do our best. What are you looking for?"

Mycroft agreed without hesitation, and it seemed that he had the opportunity to quickly contact the core of the worship organization.

Mr. G never imagined that the two people in front of him actually came to wipe out the Erjiuhui.

Look at their positive appearance, compared to other members of the association who worship the power of the head, it is even worse.

At the moment, Mr. G made a list of children, cats, owls and so on.

"These heads must be delivered before June 6. I will greet the guards in advance. During this period, you have prepared the supplies and can come to me at any time. Do you have any questions?"

"I have a little question."

Mary didn't forget one key point, "After the head is replaced, how do we perform the energy transmission ceremony? Will someone guide us?"

Mr. G nodded as a matter of course, "Don't worry, there will be a priest to help Mr. Tony absorb the power in the skull. If your actions go well, I can help you make an appointment for June 6. This day is the latest available slot."

Mary and Mycroft looked at each other, and in just a few words, they had learned a lot of clues.

The two did not continue to stay meaninglessly, showing an eager look to quickly complete the task of joining the club, and said goodbye to Mr. G.

Before leaving, he seemed to casually ask Mr. G's specific title, and got a title - Gifford.

Walked out of the small skull building.

The two went straight back to the hotel. Along the way, they first confirmed that there was no one following them, and then they chatted in the open area of ​​the public garden near the hotel.

Mycroft calculated the two time points given by Gifford, and the major action time of the Baitou organization must be between the delivery time point and the idle time point.

“6月18日至6月22日，这个组织可能要进行一场祭祀。今天是6月12日，留给我们的剩余时间不多了。”

At present, we have learned about the base of the Skull House and several of its members.

Simon King, who is responsible for shipping goods, Gifford, who is responsible for reviewing members, and the middle-aged clerk of the grocery store at the contact point, can apply for help from London to follow up and investigate suspicious persons.

However, regardless of whether the follow-up investigation will be discovered, that approach cannot take the initiative.

If the other party does not act temporarily and does not contact the upper management, it will not be able to know the movements of the core members of the worship organization in time.

Mary smiled, "Tony, if you can fully recount the conversation between Scarface and Gifford in the corridor, I think I can give you good news."

"Doctor Brown, you know that kind of weird speech. Like Klizzie-yazzi, Moasi, Ne-ahs-jhs..."

With his excellent memory, Mycroft retells all the 5-minute conversations he heard, and the English is mixed with some very obscure and weird pronunciations.

After recounting, Mycroft couldn't help being curious, "What language are those weird pronunciations in this conversation? I have never heard of it, and I don't think anyone in the worship organization can easily create such a language." language."

"It is the Navajo language of North America, an indigenous language. There is no written system, and it only depends on the local people's word of mouth. Because of the peculiarities of grammar and pronunciation, it is almost impossible for foreigners to acquire it." ①

The Navajo language that Mary speaks had been used in a World War cipher in a previous life.

The reason why it was chosen as the password was that the use of this language was limited to the local indigenous people at that time, and the existence of its language was little known.

In this world, in the early 19s, there were even fewer non-Navajo people who knew the language.

Mary would not say that there are 100% no foreigners who master the Navajo language, otherwise Mr. G and the man with the scar would not use this as a secret language.

"It is certain that the people in the worship organization are not proficient in Navajo, but only intercepted some key words to keep their conversations confidential. For example, Klizzie-yazzi is a child, Moasi is a cat, Ne-ahs-jhs It's an owl."

These dovetail with Gifford's list of must-haves.

In order to prove that Mary's conjecture was correct in a disguised form, the senior leaders of the worship organization made a decision to use the Navajo language, which is extremely rare and known today, as a secret language.

"In addition, according to your accurate retelling, at the end of the conversation between Gifford and Scarface, they revealed the place and time of the sacrifice."

Mary translated it, "Midnight of the magic moon night, the moonlight cave in the New Forest in the west. At this point in time, it is detailed enough."

"It's June 6nd, and England celebrates Midsummer's Eve."

Mycroft said, "Midsummer Eve is the time period closest to the magical world in traditional British customs. Shakespeare also said that Midsummer Eve is a time of madness. It is very logical to choose this day to hold a large-scale sacrifice of skulls. .”

The location of Moonlight Cave is uncertain, only that it is in the New Forest in Southampton.

The specific location needs to be inquired from local people who are familiar with the terrain, but that is not a difficult task.

In this way, the two of them already had a general understanding of the sacrificial arrangements of the Erjiuhui.

Mycroft could hardly conceal his admiration for his dear Mr. Minton, who was always able to surprise at critical moments.

Gifford, Scarface, and the core members of the worship organization never imagined that the secret language they used could be read by another person.

Mycroft guessed that the opportunity for Mr. Minton to learn the Navajo language may have been when he traveled to the United States with his godfather when he was a teenager.

Mary readily accepted the appreciative look, and she didn't waste time learning the seemingly remote knowledge.

Even though she had learned that language with no practical value back then, it was just for her godfather to divert her excessive energy, so that she would not always think about the loopholes and allow people to conceive a criminal plan.

"Tony, you should praise yourself too."

Mary didn't take the credit alone, "If you weren't good at reading lips and retelling them accurately, then it wouldn't be possible for me to translate."

Mary seemed to simply praise this matter, "It is the result of our perfect cooperation to determine the key to the operation of the Baitou organization. It is not an appropriate metaphor, it can be called a cooperation made in heaven."

"Since you know that the adjective you used is inappropriate, why do you still say it, deliberately making me feel sweet."

Mycroft could only slander silently.Because the face of the speaker is too serious, it seems that the obedient person should not be sentimental.

Without thinking about it, Mycroft shifted his focus back to the Navajo language with self-control.

"The cult of skulls came from the Americas. The core members of the Erjiu Club may have learned a little bit of Navajo when they traveled to the Americas, and then used it as a secret language."

There is almost no completely impeccable method of secrecy in the world.

The Erjiuhui was very unlucky to meet "Tony and Brown", and without realizing it, Gifford took the initiative to provide the two with the core action plan of the association.

Next, it's not about waiting for Midsummer's Eve.

It is best to further clarify the list of people participating in the sacrifice.Quickly prepare the items on the list given by Gifford, and try to get more clues when you contact him again.

Whether it is a child's skull, or the head of a cat, owl, etc., these materials are best obtained through legal channels in London when conditions permit.

"Tony, your driving skills are very good. Please rush back to London overnight. In addition to preparing supplies, please call for more reliable helpers."

Mary didn't think that she and Mycroft could capture all the people from the worship organization. Reliable off-site assistance was a must.

Mycroft had no problem with one rushing back to London and the other staying at Southampton.His carriage driving skills are better, suitable for a quick trip back and forth.

Just as he was about to go back to the hotel to pick up dry food and water, and then rent a carriage to set off, he thought of a small problem before turning around. "Doctor Brown, you won't do something behind my back, will you?"

Mary blinked blankly, "What are you talking about?"

"After I leave, will you sneak into the Skeleton Building alone at midnight?"

Mycroft had to wonder, "Trying to find some password book, or some plan list or something?"

Mary raised her forehead innocently, "God! Tony, what's wrong with you? Has your past life syndrome developed? How can you suspect that your doctor is extremely restless?"

Mycroft smiled. No matter how charming Mr. Minton was, he would not lose his reason and judgment. "So, can you guarantee? You will not act alone when I am not around."

Mary: Here comes the question, is it necessary to be honest?
