"Where are they?"
"In a house in Lambeth, on the south bank of the Thames, and surrounded by a railway station-like building."
South bank of the Thames, Lambeth district, railway station....
Ma Wei took a large map of London and after searching for it, his eyes stopped at the landmark location of 'Waterloo Station'.
According to Edward's description, only Waterloo Station met the above requirements. It seemed that their guess was indeed correct. These werewolves had long since escaped from the city of Westminster and even crossed the Thames River!
"Why are they running near the train station?" Daniel asked: "Are they planning to escape by train?"
"Waterloo Station is divided into three parts, namely Central Station, East Station and the Waterloo Underground Station under construction. They are all in Lambeth District and are also called Waterloo Station. Even the residents living around them are very It’s hard to figure out the specific differences between them.”
Ma Wei said: "Those werewolves fled to Waterloo Station, most likely trying to use the railway to escape from London... I finally understand how they sneaked into London. It was really... dark under the light!"
Lai Wen and Daniel looked at each other and asked with some confusion: "Did they use the railway to sneak into London?"
"It's a railroad, but not an ordinary railroad."
His finger traced across the map, heading west, and finally stopped in the suburbs southwest of London.
"This place, called Brookwood, has a train arriving here every morning, originating from the 'cemetery platform' at Waterloo Central Station."
"Funeral train!" Daniel suddenly widened his eyes and had an epiphany.
More than ten years ago, a cholera swept through the Central Continent. All countries, including the Kingdom of Windsor, the Kingdom of Poppont, and the Kingdom of Frederick... were all affected by the epidemic. In the Kingdom of Windsor alone, 130,000 people died, including Densely populated London, especially East London and South London, which have high sanitation conditions and high population density, is the hardest hit area.
During that time, London's hospitals were pushing out hundreds of corpses every day, the city's cemeteries were overwhelmed, and the price of cemeteries soared, making it impossible for poor families to "afford to die."
Bodies were not buried, but piled up on the streets and in homes. Cholera could not be suppressed. In order to solve this problem, the London government at the time urgently opened a new large-scale cemetery in Brookwood, southwest of London, covering an area of 1,500 hectares. It was the largest cemetery in the world. The largest cemetery.
But Brookwood is 96 kilometers away from London. How to transport the body there?
It was impossible to rely on horse-drawn carriages. Waterloo Station had just been built at that time, so the government set up a 'funeral train' that departed from the cemetery platform at Waterloo Station and transported the bodies to Brookwood every morning, where they were buried.
Funeral trains are specially designed for corpses and no living people will ride on them. London residents call them the 'death train'.
Later, cholera was controlled, but Brookwood Cemetery was not abandoned and was still in operation. Every morning, a funeral train still departed from London to take the corpses to the cemetery. Because of the special nature of this train, inspections were not strict. , and no one wants to open a coffin full of corpse stench.
Time has passed for too long, and people have gradually forgotten the cholera outbreak more than ten years ago. Not many people paid attention to the funeral train that left in the early morning. If the werewolf was hiding on the funeral train...
There is indeed a chance to escape the scrutiny of the witcher and sneak into London!
So Mavey just suddenly realized that if Edward hadn't mentioned Waterloo Station on the south bank of the Thames, he might have forgotten about it!
Daniel had also heard of the existence of the funeral train, but like Ma Wei, he had forgotten about it long ago. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, he felt a sudden awakening.
If the werewolves used the funeral train to sneak into London, then there must be someone guiding them behind them!
"Let's go to Waterloo Station."
After determining the general area where the werewolves were hiding, Ma Wei and the others immediately took action, activating the ancient magic mud shadow. Their bodies were immersed in the darkness like a pool of ink, and slid out from the crack of the door, avoiding the sight of the demon hunters and police, and headed towards Heading towards Waterloo Station.
It’s not that Ma Wei hasn’t thought about using mobile magic such as mud shadow and heart of the jungle to transport members of the Aurora Society into London. It’s just that there is a giant magic circle operating in the sky above London. All magic that passes through the magic circle will be revealed, causing Witcher's attention.
Either destroy the magic circle, or sneak into London without magic. Destroying the magic circle is too difficult, and the latter is easier.
Late night, south bank of the Thames, Lambeth, Kennington Street.
On the dark street, a pool of black shadows slowly moved. There were only a few sparse patrol policemen on the street. Waterloo Station is located on the south bank of the Thames River, opposite the Parliament Building and Big Ben. This is the key search area. The demon hunter checked here immediately and left after finding no abnormalities.
This is good news for the Mawei people. The absence of the demon hunter means that they can move more conveniently. A few policemen may not be able to do anything to them.
Not long after, the black shadow came to a five-story building. This was a gentlemen's club. Only members were allowed to enter. The door was closed at the moment and it was not during business hours.
【Nightingale Club】
"Are you sure this is here?" Ma Wei's voice sounded in the dark shadow.
"Sure."
After receiving a positive answer, Mawei decided to enter the club to find out. They passed through the narrow door and arrived at the club's lobby. It was covered with soft wool carpets, with a huge crystal gas chandelier overhead, and a strip in the center. The wide staircase and luxurious decoration all reveal the luxurious atmosphere of the nobility.
In the mud shadow, Edward's eyes penetrated the wall and vaguely saw a few bright figures. Even at a very close distance, he could smell the fishy and putrid smell of the werewolf, even through the wall.
Werewolves and vampires are enemies, and it is no secret that the two sides are at odds with each other. The hot blood filled in the werewolf's body shines like a beacon in the eyes of the vampires.
"In the basement, someone's coming."
Hearing Edward's reminder, Ma Wei and the others quickly climbed up to the roof along the wall. A black shadow looked down at the hall, and not long after...
Click.
An old man carrying a kerosene lamp and wearing a housekeeper's uniform walked out of a room in the corner on the left, hunched over and walking slowly through the hall, as if on night watch.
The old man passed the hall, and Ma Wei and the others immediately got into the room he walked out of. It was an ordinary lounge. The room was very small, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs. It should be the room where the old housekeeper lived.
A bat flew out of the black shadow and emitted ultrasonic waves from its mouth. In an instant, the entire structure of the room was clearly presented in Edward's mind. It looked at the stone bricks under the bed and said in a deep voice: "There is a road there."
The black shadow approached under the bed, and sure enough, he found a tiny, imperceptible gap in the stone bricks. After passing through the gap, the surrounding area immediately became pitch black, making it difficult to distinguish the terrain.
At this time, Ma Wei handed over the task of leading the way to Edward. In complete darkness, only he could find the right path. Another bat flew out of the black shadow, and its mouth continued to emit ultrasonic waves, echoing on the walls and The ground curves back, forming the outline of a tunnel.
Along the stone steps, Ma Wei and the others finally arrived in front of an iron door. Behind the door... there were chattering sounds.
"Kenneth, can we really trust them?"
"We have no choice."
"But they are humans! Kenneth, I don't think they will help us. Let's escape before dawn!"
"Calm down! I have already paid him the price, and he must fulfill the contract, otherwise who will dare to cooperate with him in the future?"
"That's what you said, but you brought that thing! What if he..."
"Shh!"
The conversation behind the door suddenly disappeared, and the silence in the darkness was eerie.
"The stench of bats... is not good, there is someone outside the door!"
