Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1082: Muggle’s “underground castle”

?"...I wanted to go to a deeper place yesterday, but it was too dark to see anything. So this morning, I brought out the flashlight that Dad put in the garage.... You Look!"

With a soft "click", Kevin looked at the big flashlight in Candice's hand and suddenly emitted a slightly yellow light, and instantly tore the darkness in front of him.

"Oh, it seems you have planned to play truant today!"

Little Kevin scratched his head and didn't know what he was feeling right now—to be honest, he was very concerned about that voice, because he heard it several times in his home yesterday.

So, why does this voice come out in this "hole" that is taller than an adult?

As for the reason, little Kevin will naturally not understand.

He didn't even know that the "big hole" in front of him at this time was actually one of the many abandoned drains in the London sewer system that had been listed in the "Seven Industrial Miracles".

If he can recognize the way, it will be fine even if he wants to go home along the underground waterway.

"Hurry up, Kevin! What are you doing there!"

While little Kevin was still listening to the "hiss" sound and wondering what was happening, Candice had already raised her flashlight and waved at him deeper.

"Ah, good! I'll come here—"

Before the words were over, he finally seemed to put aside all the worries about playing truant, and quickly chased Candice. Then, I saw the two children shoulder to shoulder, walking into the depths of the underground waterway with excitement and curiosity by the light of flashlights.

Speaking of which, London’s sewers are so acclaimed for no reason. This is not only because of their awe at the huge amount of work, but also because it really protects the city and residents that have been trapped by serious pollution.

Before the current sewers were built, London had made great progress due to the rapid industrial development, but the subsequent pollution began to breed diseases due to the backwardness of the sewer system.

In the hundreds of years before the last century, rounds of epidemics caused the Muggle mortality rate to fluctuate, and London gradually became stinking.

Remember that at that time, the original clear Thames was weakly swallowing brown sewage, and the streets in central London had a foul smell. Even the House of Commons had to hang curtains soaked in lime water on the windows. Block and filter the unbearable smell.

After that, after a series of discussions and visits to Paris, France, a total of more than six years, a huge sewer system that stretched for more than 2,000 kilometers was finally built underground in London.

A large amount of sewage is transported to the sewage treatment plant, and all the drainage outlets that were originally discharged into the river are also abandoned. Some have been dismantled, some have been borrowed by the new system, and some have remained vacant until now.

The place where little Kevin and Candice are walking right now is one of the many abandoned drains.

"Oh!"

Just after Candice took a turn from a fork, she didn't take a few more steps, even if she was surprised. Because she saw another intersection of the bifurcated passages, and it was much larger than the one just now.

As the flashlight light slowly moved around, the brick wall gradually came into view. The design of the vault, the excavation of the stairs and the orderly side roads make this place look like an underground castle.

"I always feel that I can run into a vampire if I go further!" Candice observed the deep passages with interest, as if she didn't know how to be afraid, "Well...maybe. What could it be? For example, a gargoyle... or a demon?"

Children always like these fantasy things. Although adults sometimes say that these things don't exist, this does not prevent children from continuing to imagine things.

Of course, even a little girl like Candice generally prefers unicorns. There are not too many vampires, demons and other evil creatures like her.

After hearing her say this, little Kevin couldn't help but follow him with some worry.

"That voice...but it's better not to be the things you said! Otherwise we'll be over!"

"Ah, Kevin, are you scared?"

Looking at Candice starting to snicker, little Kevin immediately looked up and said loudly:

"Who's afraid! I'm worried about you... haven't you seen it in a movie? People like you who don't worry about anything are usually the first to die in a monster attack!"

"Bah!" When Candice heard this, the snicker on her face instantly turned into annoyance, "You will die!"

"Pop!"

When she saw her raise her hand, she slapped Kevin on the top of the head, then turned around, raised her flashlight, and walked to one of the forks.

Little Kevin clutched his head and curled his mouth, and had to walk quickly to follow—No way, Candice’s flashlight is inseparable here, without the light, it’s even his feet wherever he goes. Invisible.

After the two of them crossed the fork in the road with a trench, they immediately discovered that there was a circular passage that was wider than they had seen before.

Looking at the diameter of this passage, I am afraid that if five or six adults can stand side by side, even the carriage can pass through here safely.

"Yeah! It's dirty!"

As soon as she settled down, Candice found herself stepping into the stagnant water-here, there were finally signs of water, but not much for the time being.

It's just that the water is full of greasy dirt, and there are some strange dirty things floating in it, it looks disgusting. Even Candice wasn't really afraid of dirty girls, but when she saw this kind of sight, she couldn't stand it after all.

"Oh! God...I think we should change our way..."

Under the light of the flashlight, Kevin also saw the accumulated sewage, but fortunately, the impatient Candice was struck first, so that he didn't step on it together.

But at this moment, seeing him suddenly another ear, he even whispered:

"Listen! The sound seems to be clearer... Did you hear it? It's the'hiss' sound! I bet we must be getting away from it... Wow! It's a mouse!"

Before Kevin finished speaking, he suddenly saw several very large mice running by the edge of the flashlight's light, making sewage slamming.

And just as he exclaimed, Candice, who also noticed the mouse, rushed back to him.

Although there was no screaming or anything, Kevin knew that she was finally scared from Candice's gripping her arm.

"Hey! It's just a mouse...Ah! Are you afraid?"

Remembering Candice’s mocking of herself, Kevin decided to take the opportunity to retaliate—there weren’t many opportunities to make fun of Candice, because this girl was better than a boy in many ways.

I just didn't expect that she would still be afraid of mice?

"Pop!"

"Who is scared!"

Kevin's forehead has suffered another unsuspecting disaster, and this time Candice has obviously used more strength, so that his head hurts fiercely.

"...violent woman." Little Kevin couldn't help muttering softly.

However, although Candice is rare to be afraid of mice, she doesn't seem to be afraid of other things at all. After the mice disappeared, she resurrected on the spot again and happily went deeper.

Even if there is sewage here, the smell is unpleasant, but just cover your nose to avoid standing water?

She also heard the "hissing" that Kevin said just now. It was obvious that she was also very interested in the movement that became clearer.

As for the mouse that may appear...Hey, Candice’s strong nerves have long been left behind.

"Kevin, keep up! What are you doing so slowly!"

Unfortunately, the sewer adventures of the two of them will naturally not be smooth sailing. Not to mention what the strange movement is actually coming from, just before the source of the sound is found, the shadow of death has already enveloped the two of them.

After walking along this wide passage for more than ten minutes, Candice couldn't help but soften her feet. Had it not been for Kevin to pull her from the side, she would almost fall head-on in the dirty gutter in the middle.

"Um...thank you."

Candice, who was supported by Kevin, shook her head vigorously, and then slightly confused:

"Why do I feel... a little dizzy?"

Of course, two children would not know that a variety of harmful gases are easily produced in the sewer, and these gases are usually unknowingly poisoning.

The problem arises when the two of them can walk here, but it is because the passage in front has been vacant for many years.

"Oh, Candice, are you okay?"

Little Kevin held the girl’s body a little hard, grabbed the flashlight in her hand and took photos back and forth, trying to find a place to rest~IndoMTL.com~ But this is the sewer, except for some At the fork, there are steps for maintenance personnel to walk, and other places are too dirty to sit on.

But in a moment, he helped Candice walk a short distance forward, and finally found the next small fork in the passage wall.

When he saw this, he hurriedly dragged the somewhat sleepy Candice into the fork, and came to a solid soil platform that could be considered as a resting place.

After leaving the wide and long passage, Kevin felt that the air had become less smelly.

However, at the same time he sat down with Candice, he himself suddenly felt dizzy in his head. As he was bending over, he didn't stop immediately, and fell directly on the other girl's body.

"Kevin?"

Candice pushed **** Kevin, who was holding down herself, but her hands and feet were already weak, and she couldn't exert much effort. But at this time, Candice felt a slight shock, and suddenly came down from herself...
