The Whispering Verses Chapter 1036: Night visit to the concert hall

I received the letter from the doctor at noon on Sunday. The doctor has locked the demon's whereabouts and decided to launch an operation tonight. The devil did not go to the banquet this time. He hid in the "Royal Festival Concert Hall" in the east of the city as Victor Fannie.

The doctor's plan is simple and consists of three steps: sneak into the concert hall, find the demon, and defeat it.

There are other possibilities for the simple plan. The demon has noticed that someone locally wants to hunt it. It didn't know what the doctor was, but since it didn't escape the city overnight, there must be other tricks, so the doctor asked Shade to prepare for battle. He might encounter other situations tonight.

"Royal Festival Hall?"

I heard that Shade was going to the concert hall to hunt demons tonight. The writer, who had a rosy face and was in good spirits, frowned slightly:

"Lesia and Princess Margaret are also attending the concert there tonight."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

This is somewhat beyond Shade's expectations, but the two things should not be related. The devil hiding in the concert hall was a helpless move forced by the doctor, and the princesses made an appointment to go to the concert hall, which was only decided yesterday. itinerary.

Although the main force in hunting demons is a doctor, Shade will not relax his vigilance because of this. He prepared enough spellcasting materials for himself and took all the relics that might be useful with him.

After doing this, he left the cat and Dorothy at home after dinner. He took the [Night Watchman] and set off alone in a carriage, and found a man who had arrived earlier at the "Green Grass Tavern" in the east of Tobesk. Dr. Schneider.

The "Grass Tavern" is a regular operating pub located on Rodriguez Street, only 500 meters away from the Royal Festival Hall. It is famous for its special beer with a grassy flavor. Of course, after Dr. Schneider ordered a drink, he thought the wine tasted quite strange and thought the reputation of this place was just a boast.

On winter nights, once night falls, there will be many people in the tavern, and no one notices Shade and the doctor sitting by the wall.

On the table between the two of them were newspapers, notebooks, Rhodes cards and wine glasses, and on the chair next to them was a violin case containing the [Night Watch]. Everything looked normal.

The violin case was also left behind by the former detective, and Shade doubted that the other detective had bought the case just to hold the violin.

"I can feel that guy is in the concert hall."

Dr. Schneider lowered his voice:

"I bought the architectural design of the concert hall from the black market. We will enter through the sewer in a while. Now"

"Seven minutes, thirteen minutes and twenty-one seconds."

Shad helps the doctor set the time on his pocket watch.

"Yes, the next concert starts at eight o'clock sharp. We left the pub at half past seven and sneaked in during the opening ticket check. At eight o'clock, we entered the concert hall from the sewer. If the plan goes well, it will take an hour You can come out inside.”

The doctor handed Shade a small cloth bag, which contained various charms. In addition to the basic silencing spells, there were also spells to assist illusions, invisibility, eliminate odors, and suppress light.

As a student of the Mechanical College, the doctor is the best at alchemy technology among the five. In his opinion, the biggest question tonight is not whether he can defeat the demon, but whether he can hide it without being discovered.

"I made several backup plans."

The doctor showed Shade his notebook again:

"Even if something goes wrong with the plan, we have a way to remedy it."

Xia De nodded:

"If so, I don't know if you have any preparation for the current situation. Two high-level warlocks have entered here now."

His eyes looked at the doctor, and the wine glass shook in the direction of the door.

Dr. Schneider glanced at the door, then his expression changed, and he lowered his head to look at the newspaper on the table, as if he was interested in the obituary on the left half:

"It's really strange that old Barkindo died. He was clearly on the eve of leaving office."

The doctor said pretentiously, after confirming that the two gentlemen in black coats who entered the door did not come towards this direction, he carefully told Shade:

"I don't know the other one. The taller one is a professor at St. Byrons Mechanical College. I have taken his elective course "Precious Metal Refining". However, the professor from the college came to Torbes What are you doing? Is it for [Wise Man’s Pyroxene]?”

Shad also encountered this kind of encounter with a college professor in a tavern in Coldwater Port. Then he broke into the Aurora mansion and met [Desire] in the secret room behind the damp chapel.

"Professors come here to have a drink, right?"

Shad said, neither looking at them nor the doctor. The high-level warlock's senses are very sharp.

"It's hard to say, but it has nothing to do with us."

The doctor emphasized to Shade:

"Our target tonight is only the devil, we don't have to worry about other things."

Stand up after speaking:

"But to be on the safe side, let's go outside for a walk now. It's no longer safe here."

Although it was not a good idea to walk on the street on a winter night, the doctor was obviously afraid that staying in the tavern would cause other trouble.

In short, the doctor took Shade to avoid the professors at the college and walked around the winter streets for twenty minutes, which was considered a familiarity with the terrain.

Seeing that it was almost time, he took Shade to the alley outside the Green Grass Tavern on Rodriguez Street, and found an iron door in the middle of the alley that was almost integrated with the ground. The door was pressed under a pile of abandoned steam pipes. The doctor used his mind to move the entire pipe to the right. Only then did Shade see that the door was close to the wall. Judging from the degree of rust, it had not been used for at least three years. Have opened it.

"The entrance to sewer maintenance, but due to the renovation of urban underground pipes, in order to prevent direct contact between biogas and gas pipes, this section of sewer has been abandoned."

As the doctor explained, he knelt down, took out a small copper key and inserted it into the keyhole on the side of the door. After twisting hard, the key broke directly into the keyhole.

"It's okay, it's expected."

The doctor smiled dryly, looked left and right at both ends of the dark alley, whispered a spell, and then slammed his right hand on the ground. With a muffled sound, the rusty iron door on the ground bounced open, revealing the dark passage below.

The doctor climbed down the ladder first, followed by Shade, who did not forget to close the opened iron door again.

Compared with the cold ground, the disgusting smell of sewers actually seemed damp and warm. Although the taste was bearable, Shade was still glad that he didn't eat much tonight.

"This way!"

Dr. Schneider, who was the first to reach the bottom of the ladder, took out two candle ends from his pocket, lit the candle ends, and let them float around him.

He checked his current location and checked whether there were other "visitors" in the sewers. After confirming that there was no problem, he waved to Sha De, and the two of them walked towards the depths of darkness:

"Doctor, you should have prepared a deodorizing method, right?"

Xia De also didn't forget to ask, with the smell that the two of them are currently carrying, once they appear in the concert hall, people might be able to smell them across two corridors.

The dim light of the candles illuminated the way forward. In the dirty and narrow sewers, rats and cockroaches walked with them. Although accidents often occur when working with doctors, it is probably because those "accidents" also dislike the smell of sewers, so they quickly reached the bottom of the concert hall smoothly.

This section of abandoned sewer was originally connected to the warehouse of the concert hall, but the exit was blocked many years ago. After checking the architectural map of the concert hall, the doctor found another way, that is, from the position closest to the ground, he made a hole directly upward:

"This is it."

The candle flies upward, indicating the location identified by the doctor. And there is no need for Shade to take action next. As a six-ring warlock, Dr. Schneider still has the ability to melt stone walls.

He stretched out his hand upwards, and then a ball of high-heat fire like lava appeared in his hand. The fireball continued upward, like a hot knife cutting through the snow, quickly melting the rock wall above the head. Shade recognized it as the fire of the Balrog, a method by which the doctor gained the power of the demon after devouring it.

The hole was quickly opened, and above the head was the spare parts warehouse at the backstage on the first floor of the concert hall. This will not be turned on during the show, so there will be no lights in the room.

So the two of them officially entered the concert hall smoothly, and the doctor gave Shade a brown leaf. After wiping the leaves on the clothes twice, the stench that had just been stained disappeared.

"It's not an alchemy tool, it's the leaves of a special plant."

As if he guessed what Shade was thinking, the doctor explained, and then gave Shade a white mask, which only exposed the eyes and mouth:

"This is an alchemy tool."

He put an identical mask on his face, and as the mask "melted", the doctor's appearance changed into another person. Shade followed suit. After the mask melted on his face, he felt as if his face was covered with a film of water.

"Even the devil can't easily see through this disguise. It's very expensive, so we must make good use of this opportunity. Follow the plan and follow me."

After getting ready, the doctor leaned on the door to make sure there was no one in the corridor for the time being, so he opened the door a crack. When this middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes walked from the darkness to the light, the squirming black mucus wrapped around his shirt, adding a brand new piece of clothing to him.

Shade followed suit wearing the clothes he had just changed, stepping on the red carpet on the ground and looking towards the corridor which was empty but brightly illuminated by the gas lamp.

This means that the two of them have officially entered the concert hall, and it also means that Shade once again followed Dr. Schneider and broke into other people's houses without permission.
