Chapter 18 Preparation
In fact, Dorothy had been wondering where to collect spirituality in the past few days. The spirituality of the "Cup" could be drawn from flesh and blood, but this was not what she expected. The "inspiration" she wanted to accumulate existed in knowledge. Dorothy had experimented with it in the bookstore in Wokkan Town, and found that the "inspiration" contained in general knowledge was extremely limited. The "inspiration" in ordinary books in ordinary bookstores was simply incomparable to the "inspiration" accumulated by Dorothy in the fragments of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body", and could almost be ignored.
Dorothy suspected that the "inspiration" she had accumulated after reading the books in the bookstore might be the two points contained in the fragment of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body", but it was unrealistic for Dorothy to read all the books in the bookstore.
After this experiment, Dorothy roughly determined that if she wanted to quickly accumulate the spirituality of "Enlightenment", she needed to acquire mysterious knowledge such as the fragments of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body". However, where to find books on this subject has always been a problem.
Dorothy once dreamed of finding a bookstore on a certain street that sold a large number of banned books. She only needed a coin to buy a book to read. Dorothy would definitely rush out as soon as possible.
But that was just a dream. Dorothy felt it was unlikely in reality. But now there was a secret gathering, and she could go and see if she could find something there. It would be great if she could find a few banned books.
As she was thinking, Dorothy looked at the calendar on the table. It showed that today was April 14th, which meant that tomorrow was the time for the gathering and she had to prepare.
Having made up her mind, Dorothy then focused her attention on the peeping gecko corpse, to see if she could continue to spy on more useful information.
Dorothy peeked at Greg again, and suddenly she noticed that Greg was arranging the items on the table and putting them back in his bag.
"Hmm? Is this the end?"
Seeing this scene, Dorothy couldn't help but think, but to her surprise, Greg didn't turn off the lights to rest. Instead, after looking around, he lay on the ground, which made Dorothy confused.
Just as Dorothy was wondering, she saw Greg, who was lying on his stomach, pull out a few large-cover books from under the bed. After seeing this, Dorothy's eyes lit up.
"Oh... it's a book! It's hidden so secretly, is it some kind of confidential document from the Security Bureau? Or is it some kind of occult secret book?"
Seeing the book Greg took out, Dorothy's spirits lifted up. Then she stared at Greg with concentration, watching him put the mysterious book on the table and then slowly open it.
Then Dorothy's expression froze on her face.
There were not many words on the book on Gregor's desk, only pictures. The pictures showed mature women with plump figures and scantily clad clothes, all of them posing in various coquettish postures. As Gregor turned the pages, the content became more and more indescribable.
Greg was reading very seriously, while Dorothy, who was reading the same book as him, sat in her seat calmly, without blushing or beating her heart, and waited quietly for Greg to turn the page.
After reading a few pages, Dorothy shook her head with a little hope. After leaning on the chair and taking a glass of water from the table and drinking it, she sighed and said.
"That's it? That's not good enough, bro..."
To be honest, Dorothy felt that it was normal for a young man of Gregor's age to have some pornographic books at home. However, due to the limitations of the times, the quality of pornographic books in this era was really not satisfactory. The characters were old-fashioned and ugly, and there were only a few tricks over and over again. It was really not interesting. It was far inferior to the various "learning materials" in the Internet age.
In short, Dorothy had seen far more exciting things in her past than Greg had, so much so that the things that Greg now found so exciting now seemed dull to Dorothy.
Unable to bear disturbing the young man's late-night study time, Dorothy controlled the corpse gecko to return to her room, put it in a box, and then put it back in the suitcase and locked it.
Then Dorothy packed her box of contraband, turned off the lights and went to bed, ending her first day in Egwent.
…
The next morning, when Dorothy walked into the sunny living room in her pajamas and rubbed her eyes, she saw Greg sitting on the sofa eating bread, and two plates of breakfast were placed on the coffee table.
"Good morning Dorothy, come and have breakfast." Greg said hello to Dorothy, and Dorothy nodded in response.
"Morning...did you do all this, Greg?"
"No, this is the cooking of Mrs. Harker downstairs. I'm usually busy and don't have time to cook, so I gave her some money and asked her to help take care of my meals... Well, now this is the meal for both of us." After saying that, Greg finished the last fried egg of his breakfast and continued.
"Eat by yourself. I'm going to the company soon. I have a mission today. You can go around and have fun these two days. I'll take you to school the day after tomorrow. Remember to have fun."
As he spoke, Greg held a piece of bread in his mouth, picked up his coat, and walked towards the door. Dorothy sat on the sofa and watched Greg leave.
"Be careful on your way, I will have fun..."
As she spoke, Dorothy picked up the newspaper from the sofa, and then began to enjoy her breakfast while reading it.
After breakfast, Dorothy changed into her going-out clothes, turned around in front of the mirror and looked at herself, then went out with a suitcase.
After going downstairs, Dorothy hailed a carriage and got in. She began to travel around the city, changing carriages several times until she arrived at a pier on the river bank.
Here, there are ships coming and going to unload cargo, sailors shouting back and forth, cargo piled up, and many large warehouses for storing cargo.
On the last coach, Dorothy took out a hooded cloak from her suitcase and put it on before she got off the coach.
Covering her face, Dorothy walked along the fishy dock until she came to a warehouse. After she asked the manager to show a voucher, she was given a key and a gas lamp. Dorothy entered the warehouse and saw rows of large warehouse compartments with locked iron doors.
This is the storage warehouse at the dock. Many goods that have been delayed for various reasons can be stored here. As long as you pay enough money to the boss, you can store the goods as long as you want. As long as the money is enough, the boss will not care what you store, let alone who stores it. You can just fill in the type and grade of the goods, and no one will be idle to open the boxes for inspection.
In this era when relevant management systems are lacking, money can accomplish more things...
After getting the key, Dorothy walked deeper into the warehouse. After turning a few corners, she came to a warehouse compartment. After unlocking the iron door with the key, she saw a pile of wooden crates of different sizes stored inside, each of which was locked.
These were brought by Dorothy from Waukan...
Looking around, Dorothy walked into the warehouse and came to a long wooden box. She took out a circle of small keys from her suitcase, selected one after a while, and then used the key to unlock the long wooden box, and then put on the corpse ring.
As Dorothy used the corpse ring to mobilize the spirit of the "cup", there was a strange movement in the long wooden box. Then the lid of the box was opened with a creaking sound like a coffin, and then a figure stood up from the box that looked like a coffin.
He is tall and thin, wearing a dark red suit and black trousers. He has a pale complexion, a long face, deep eye sockets, a hooked nose, a fierce look, and short black hair.
He was the first person Dorothy killed after coming to this world, the original owner of the corpse ring, the gang leader of Walkum Town, Edwin Grundy.
