Miss Watson of the Sherlock Holmes

It's easy to build a basement under a store, but it's too much to build an underground palace!

Ursula was stunned by the winding staircase, which was really a very unscientific underground palace.

Let’s start with the architectural structure. The wall with the tapestry they entered was actually the outer wall of the shop, and there was actually a door behind it.

This is troublesome.Ursula thought that this magically created alien space could not be submitted to Scotland Yard as evidence at all, and she still had to find other clues.

While she was thinking wildly, two men in black robes had already brought her down the stairs. They lifted the huge black curtain, revealing a glimmer of light.

Ursula squinted her eyes at the sudden light, and after her eyes got used to the strong light, she was surprised again by the gradually clear scene in front of her.

The source of that light was a pool in this terrifyingly empty underground hall.In the center, there are two stone statues of Nymphs half immersed in it, holding a stone platform with both hands, carved with lotus patterns.

Several stone pillars of similar shapes rise from the bottom of the pool, forming a unique step.

This is...the lotus platform?She took a closer look at the shape of the big stone platform in the middle, and the villain in her heart turned into a word of embarrassment.These foreigners, oh, now they are from her hometown, why do they always make these mix-and-match.

Although she knew that the other party was to show the symbolic lotus of the goddess Isis.But uncontrollable, after seeing the lotus platform, Ursula's mind kept flashing alternately the scene of Nezha's transformation and the appearance of Guanyin master spreading nectar.

Ah, it's been a long time since I drank poplar nectar.Her thoughts suddenly drifted away, wondering if she could get tropical fruits from Eric unscrupulously in this situation.There are also lotus root and lotus seeds that have not been eaten for a long time.Uh, good detective career, brotherhood is not good?Why do you want to fall in love.

In this crisis-ridden situation, because the mix-and-match effect of the lotus platform and the water fairy completely broke the tension brought by the dark hall, Ursula was stunned.

It wasn't until the curtain of the hall was lifted again that she pulled back her brain hole of how to use coconuts to make coconut milk.

It was the store manager lady, and she came in with some other clerks, holding some boxes.

The lady took off her black robe, wearing a long white skirt and a light blue cape.The cut was very similar to the style of ancient Greece, and she looked dignified, as if she was playing an ancient priest.Holding a golden scepter shaped like a branch.

Ursula observed it out of the corner of her eye, and found that it was the embodiment of the scepter in the Minor Arcana card in the Tarot.

"Ms. Caitlin. This..." A girl who was also dressed in a similar style opened the box in her hand.

"Thank you, child." The leading lady nodded slightly. "However, it's not time yet."

"Yes ma'am" The young clerk was a little lost, obviously in a frenzy of impatience. "I really want to watch it again, that holy scene."

It turned out that that person was the owner of the perfume house.Ursula kept her vacant eyes looking ahead, but her ears continued to listen.

But these ladies suddenly fell into silence, they just kept a posture like this, waiting for something.

Ursula had now been let go by the two girls who were carrying her.She has strong explosive power, but her physical strength has not improved at all, and she is actually very tired.

At this time, the void is a vacuum hole.She struggled to see the glowing pool of water, trying to use the glare to keep herself from falling asleep.

Based on the moment when she stood barefoot on the stone slab, she was very competitive, and her nose was already slightly blocked. If she really fell asleep, it would be a lot of fun to snore.What a disrespect to this sacrifice, the witch with a bright red conscience thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Ursula began to compare the difference in the size and rhythm of the breathing of different people.

The Lady Caitlin finally moved.

"It's about to start, get ready!"

She picked up something from the box held by the very active girl in front, and walked over to Ursula.

Dark green, glowing slender crystal pillars.

Uh, I seem to have seen something similar somewhere.Ursula thought, looking at Lady Catelyn walking in front of her, with a scepter in one hand and a crystal in the other.

"Chaos!" The lady dressed as a priest raised her hands. "Separate the light from the dark!"

Ursula carefully watched the movement of the elements in the air, but there was no fluctuation of magic power.Just when she thought it was just a role-playing farce.

The opponent picked up the crystal pillar and slammed it hard at the scepter.The crystal cracked, and a viscous liquid glowing green flowed out.

"Ah, that crystal tree in the cave." Ursula finally remembered when she saw the liquid.This is not the same branch of the tree.

Seeing this object that she encountered in the last adventure, the witch intuitively told that something was wrong, but the current situation did not allow her to think about it.

At this time, the elements in the air had already started to fluctuate, and the shimmering crystal tree sap slowly seeped into the scepter.The golden stick body was gradually coated with a little bit of green, and then, several fresh shoots sprouted vigorously from the green.

This time it is exactly the same as the scepter in the Tarot cards, they are all alive.

Seeing this change, Ursula began to feel a little troubled.But now that things have advanced to this point, we have to look at the whole picture.She restrained the movement of interrupting the other party's prayer, and continued to read.

The newly minted priestess shook off the remaining crystal debris from her hand, and then took Ursula's hand with her free hand.

"Come on, child. Let me lead you to perfection." Her tone was unusually gentle.

After speaking, he led her, step by step over the stone pillars in the pool, and walked towards the lotus platform.

When she was really on the surface, Ursula felt a strange force touching her soul, like a call and a temptation.

Her and Lady Caitlin's footsteps had a strange rhythm, just in time for every light wave in the pool.

When she and the priest came to the main platform.The ceiling of the hall suddenly cracked, and Ursula felt the distortion of the space, so she looked up suddenly, ignoring the exposure.

A full moon just happened to be in the center of the cracked hole, and there were some thick black lines twisted around the hole.

"Kabala..." Ursula took a deep breath.Finally, she understood the meaning of the tapestry. Originally, she thought it was just a symbol that they were going to go through the twisted and downward steps.

It turns out that the real meaning is here.

She stared fixedly at the hollow on the ceiling that symbolized the heart of an upside-down tree, constantly twisting the dark and dry branches around.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The priest pounded the scepter in the center of the platform a few times.The patterns on the top of their heads changed with the sound of knocking on the heart.

The huge and terrifyingly clear moon began to transform, getting brighter and brighter.

Ursula looked away from it so as not to burn her eyes.

"It turned out to be the morning sun. It turned out that they were waiting for the moment when the sun rose. It is indeed the light coming from the chaos. But what are you going to do?"

To tell the truth, Ursula was quite bewildered now.No matter how gorgeous this operation is, how can she become the perfect her?

"Okay." Madam Caitlin said, she suddenly let go of the scepter that had absorbed the tree sap and the rays of the morning sun, and threw it into the pool.

The scepter full of light power fell into the same sparkling pool of water, and a wonderful reaction occurred.It lost its light color together with the pool water, quickly turned into a dead branch, and then dissipated.

Ursula looked up at Lady Catelyn, who had turned back to her, and she was approaching.But before Ursula could guard against it, she passed her, walked out of the platform, returned to the steps, and left the pool alone.

As she moved away step by step, the lotus on which Ursula was sitting began to descend, seeming to dip her into the pool of water.

As a professional witch, Ursula didn't think about casually stepping into water with unknown effects.Anyway, it's morning now, and she thinks she should be able to catch up with breakfast.

She lifted the hem of her skirt, leaped onto the stepping steps that were also sinking, and under the blessing of wind magic, at the last step, she half floated up and fell to the floor outside the pool at the same time as Mrs. Caitlin.

"You!" The lady owner turned her head and saw the girl who was supposed to be standing on the lotus flower and smiled brightly at her.

"I have a bit of a cold today. I don't really want to touch cold water, so you should try it first." Miss Witch, who hadn't slept all night, confirmed that the depth of the water was safe, and kicked the lady into the water with a smile.

"Ahhh!" The other shop assistants screamed when they saw this.

"You crazy woman, how dare you destroy the sacred ceremony!" The young girl who had been standing at the front suddenly took out a dagger from her cuff and rushed towards Ursula.

"Alas." Miss Witch sighed, moved slightly when she rushed over, and then grabbed the opponent's wrist.With a little skill, he pressed her meridian, and with a snap, the dagger fell down.

Ursula cast an area-of-effect sleep spell as she let go.Except for Mrs. Caitlin who is soaking in the pool, she doesn't know what's going on.Everyone present fell into a deep sleep.

"Okay, okay. It's finally over." Ursula thought, should she contact little Holmes to come and clean up the mess?After all, she can't solve such a big different space.

"Crack, crack, crack."

Crisp applause sounded in this empty hall.

Startled, Ursula turned to look at the curtain where they had come.

I don't know when a person stood there.

He/she is also wearing the same cloak as these shop assistants in front, with a wide hood covering the face tightly.

"Who are you?" asked Ursula warily.

"Who are you?" The other party repeated like an echo.

"A man?" Ursula frowned. The parroting voice was obviously a man.Could it be that stubborn Sir who thinks he is a medical genius?

"Man?" The other party continued to repeat her words.

"..." Ursula felt something was wrong, so she fell silent.But all her energy was highly concentrated on the man in black robe.

After the two of them stalemate quietly for a while, the man in black robe spoke up.

"woman?"

"man?"

"Who do you think I am?" He chuckled and asked the vigilant witch not far away.

When Ursula heard what the other party said, she turned her head and glanced at the pool of water that had turned into ink.

"Fountain of Hermaphroditus?" she whispered.

"Who am I?" The other party was still repeating the question. In such an underground palace, the empty voice seemed particularly strange.

Miss Witch raised her hand and made a gesture to capture something in the air. After a while, several golden light spots flashed in the blurred space, she grasped it and pressed it back to her chest.

"Before that, please answer first, who am I?" Ursula's eyes lit up golden again after recovering the soul power from the black rose.

The situation was once again deadlocked.
