Chapter 310 The End

Gradually, the maid completely disappeared.

Silently emerged from the top of her head, jumped out against the ceiling, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A brass key fell from the maid's body.

The three of them searched the basement for a while, but found no clues related to the disappearance, so they immediately headed back upstairs.

Back in the hall, Isabella's body was gone.

"Uh... Xixi, I have a bad premonition." Looking at the place where the body disappeared, Irene said with a wry smile.

Rosie instantly understood what she meant.

The maid's body disappeared before, and then they had a fight with the maid; now Isabella's body has also disappeared, and there is a high probability that they will have a fight with Isabella in the future.

"I had the same hunch."

She forced a smile and looked at Fan again, "Fan, if there is still unbroken ritual magic in this castle, where do you think it will be!"

Fan said calmly: "We need to search for this. Ritual magic does not require a specific location, so there is no way to infer where it is."

Go search?

Rossi had observed before that the castle has six floors in total. If you search room by room, it will definitely be very time-consuming.

But now, what they lack most is time.

There are less than thirty minutes left in the mission, but they still have no clue whether it is the location of the second ritual magic or the key evidence that can draw a conclusion to the disappearance case.

"Okay, let's hurry up and take a look at every room in the castle first!"

If no clues can be found, then the mission will have to fail.

Silently adding something in his mind, Rossi quickly ran upstairs.

There are stairs on the left and right sides of the castle, connected by long corridors, with rooms on both sides of the corridor.

"This castle feels like an apartment."

When the search reached the fourth floor, Rossi, who was familiar with the layout of the castle, couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Fan, who was searching in a room on the right side of the corridor, suddenly shouted: "Come over here, there is a secret door here, and it is also locked."

They had encountered several locked secret doors before. After using the unlocking spell to open them, there was nothing special inside.

"coming!"

After looking at the clearly visible room again, Rossi stepped out after confirming that there were no clues. He happened to meet Eileen who had finished searching the room opposite. The two looked at each other and smiled, and quickly walked towards the room where Fan was.

"Open the Alajo Cave!"

The spell was thrown at the brass keyhole on the iron door, but there was no response.

Eh? No movement?

Rossi's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was no movement, which meant there was something abnormal in this place.

Turning the wand between her fingers, she cast another spell:

"Explosion rumble!"

There was a bang, and the iron door was slightly deformed, but it was not opened.

Eh? So strong?

With a slight movement of his brain, Rossi raised his wand and cast a shrinking spell.

"Shrink quickly!"

"Why don't you try the yellow that fell from the maid..."

Before the words "Bronze Key" came out of Fan's mouth, the iron door shrank in size under the influence of magic power, and fell to the ground with a "bang", "Uh... pretend I didn't say it."

After hearing his words, Rossi realized that the key should be used here.

Well...that's not important.

Muttering silently, Rossi turned his gaze to the dim room inside the secret door.

The room was filled with large glass containers, inside which were female corpses soaked in turbid liquid.

"Huh? Why do most of these corpses look like the maid?" Irene asked in confusion.

Except for a few corpses soaked at the edge, the others all looked like the maid.

"These bodies are Lady Margaret and her servants."

Rosie recognized them because she had seen their information at Sherlock's house.

At this time, Fan on the side said in a deep voice: "These liquids can change the corpse into a specific appearance, which can then be replaced by the maid.

Margaret and the others haven't changed yet because they haven't soaked for enough time."

"Eh? How did you know?" Eileen looked at him strangely.

"Here are the instructions." Fan pointed to a page of paper on the workbench in front of him.

Compound Formillin Decoction?

Looking at the content on the paper, Rossi couldn't help but want to laugh. What an intuitive name! Polyjuice plus formalin?

"It seems that apart from the bodies of Margaret and others, the remaining ones should be Hailey Gregory and her servants."

As Fan finished his words, the system prompt sounded:

"Ding! Obtain the key evidence in the disappearance of Haley Gregory: Haley Gregory's body."

"The disappearance of Hayley Gregory has been solved. Please keep the key evidence and go to the Ministry of Magic to claim the reward."

Keep key evidence?!!!

After hearing the system prompt, Rosie, who was taking photos of the instructions for the compound formulin decoction, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. With so many corpses, who knew which one was hers? How could she keep it?

While I was muttering in my heart, I heard a faint scream coming from my ears.

"what sound?!!"

The three of them immediately left the room and ran to the window to look in the direction of the sound.

His eyes swept across the lake and towards the village of Newcastle.

On the other side of the village, the ghouls who had attacked Rosie and the others before gathered there and were getting closer to the village, ready to move.

Inside the village, the huge Stitch Monster was wreaking havoc everywhere. The villagers could not resist this monster that even Rossi and the other two found troublesome. They could only scream in fear and crawl toward the castle.

.

Suddenly, the villagers running in the middle of the bridge froze on the spot, and all raised their heads to look at the window where Rosie and the others were.

Huh? Did they discover us?

No, even if we are discovered, it won’t be...

Just as Rossi was wondering, the glass of the window shattered with a bang. The next second, a black mist jumped in, picked up Fan who was standing at the front and flew out.

"Fan!"

Rossi, who suddenly had a defensive barrier on his body, screamed in surprise and reached out to grab Fan, but missed.

When he looked around, he saw that Fan Fei was carried up to the roof by black mist.

"Eileen, follow up!"

With a hurried warning, Rosie jumped out of the window, summoned Buckbeak and chased after him.

The roof of the villa is a large lawn with a pavilion and fountain.

Although Fan was covered in black mist and dripping with blood, the expression on his face returned to calmness. He pulled out his silver-plated sword and slashed towards the dark mist that was enveloping him.

"Ahhhhh!"

As a scream rang out, Fan Deng was immediately thrown out and fell on the roof of the building.

"Healing Hands!"

Erin, who flew to the top of the building with her shadowless skill, immediately cast healing magic on him.

The pitch-black cloud fell not far away, taking the shape of Isabella and complaining:

"You actually damaged my skin, hum! Just use your blood to make amends!"

At this time, she had lost her previous beauty, and her whole body was illuminated with strange magic words, giving people the impression that it was very similar to the ritual magic in the castle basement.

Is it ritual magic based on living people?

Seeing this, Rossi suddenly had some suspicions in his mind.

At this time, Isabella turned into clouds and mist again and rushed toward the three of them.

"Protect them all!"

"Peaceful guard!"

While taking Buckbeak back into the pet system, Rosie raised her wand and chanted a spell.

However, just five seconds later, the defensive barrier she cast flashed with countless cracks and was about to shatter.

"Her damage increased?"

Erin said in surprise and waved her wand to defend herself.

"It should be that the Obscurus in the basement has also resided in her body." Fan said while dancing the silver-plated sword, trying to attack the opponent with it.

However, his movements were not as fast as Isabella in the cloud state, and every attack hit the air.

Seeing this, Rossi immediately put the wand to his mouth, took a deep breath of cold air and blew it out.

"Frost spell!"

Layers of frost and snow spread upwards in an instant, but it seemed that it had no impact on Isabella.

Is that too bad? Is she completely immune to magic?

With this thought flashing through his mind, Rosie tried to shoot the Shadow Arrow at her again.

But the shadow arrows that were supposed to automatically track the enemy seemed to have no interest in her and flew straight into the sky without a trace.

Is she inactive in this state?

As this thought passed through her mind, Irene on the side added another defensive magic when the defensive shield was broken.

"What should I do? Wait for her to return to her human form?"

Seeing that Rossi's magic was ineffective against Isabella in the cloud form, Irene asked anxiously.

At this moment, the time limit for the task is only ten minutes, and delaying it any longer is obviously not a good idea.

Rossi's eyes flashed, and he took out the resurrection stone and held it in his palm:

"Dexter Fusco!"

She tried calling the Headmaster of Hogwarts, but got no response.

???

What's going on? Is it because you can't summon dead souls in this plane? Or is he not dead yet at this time?

With this idea flashing through her mind, she read out another name again, but there was still no response from the audience.

Is it really impossible to summon the souls of the dead?

Rosie unbelievingly read out the oldest name she knew that had no legendary color and had never been praised by anyone:

"Ned Percy!"

This was actually an ordinary person, the patriarch of the Muggle family that built Hogwarts Castle. Rossi had seen his portrait during the exam in the learning space. It was said that he had extraordinary martial arts skills.

In fact, she had no hope anymore, but what she didn't expect was that as her voice fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the side.

The next moment, a male soul with dark blond hair emerged from the void.

Hmm? Isn’t it impossible to summon?

Rosie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the time in this plane was much older than the time outside. The two principals she tried to summon before might not be dead, or even not yet born.

As soon as Ned Percy saw the situation on the court clearly, his expression froze. He looked at Rossi and said angrily:

"Why did you call me out in this situation? I'm even unarmed!"

"Mr. Percy, don't be angry. If you need a weapon, I will prepare it for you."

Knowing that disturbing the peace of the dead would be disgusted, Luo Xigan smiled and reassured, then quickly pointed the wand downward, "The big knife is coming!"

After waiting for a few seconds, just as the [Enemy Trap] cast by Irene was about to shatter, a broad-backed sword with an evil light flew over.

Percy, who was standing next to Rosie, reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, then flew up and slashed at Isabella's changing clouds.

As if she didn't expect that he could fly, Isabella was hit by Percy, screamed and floated to the ground, turning back into a human form.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Percy and Fan Ji quickly rushed towards her.

At the same time, Rosie also waved her wand and released a series of fireballs at her:

"The flames are blazing!"

Seeing that they were about to approach, Isabella suddenly screamed.

Fan and Percy froze there immediately, blood flowed from their orifices, and their bodies became dark.

It was obvious that Isabella's scream had the dual effect of hurting and dizzying.

Fortunately, at this moment, the fireball released by Rossi hit him.

In order to avoid the burning of the flames, Isabella stopped screaming and grabbed Fan with her hands flashing with magic inscriptions.

Seeing that Fan was about to fall into danger, Rossi suddenly turned the wand in his palm and drew a circle on where he was standing.

"An enemy trap!"

"Healing Soul!"

At the same time, as Irene waved the wand in her hand, a milky white arc emitted from the tip of the wand, instantly connecting everyone on the field.

With a "bang" sound, Isabella was blown away by the magic barrier that Rossi had placed around Fan.

Seeing that she was about to fall from the roof, her body suddenly turned into a ball of black smoke and rolled towards Rossi like lightning.

Before he could cast defensive magic, a shield suddenly lit up on Rossi's body. It was the armor spell cast by Irene in time.

Because of the special nature of the dead souls, Percy immediately turned around and chased Isabella as soon as his dizziness ended; but Fan, on the other hand, paused for a while under the healing power of magic before finally regaining his fighting strength.

The fight lasted for another two minutes. Seeing that the remaining time was getting shorter and shorter, Rossi simply used all the spells he could use.

"...Call the gods to protect you!"

The silver rabbit jumped out from the tip of the staff, kicked its legs hard, and jumped towards the cloud that Isabella transformed into.

As if encountering a natural enemy, the clouds and mist that were flashing rapidly in the sky suddenly stagnated, transformed back into human form in an instant, and fell heavily to the ground.

Uh...it turns out that I need to use the Patronus Charm to restrain her, why didn't I think of it earlier!

Seeing this scene, Rosie felt speechless.

Seizing this opportunity, Fan and Percy waved their swords vigorously and slashed towards Isabella, who was screaming repeatedly...

"Ding! The ritual magic has been destroyed (2/2)."

As Isabella's head disappeared, the system prompt rang again.

Immediately afterwards, a heavy fog suddenly appeared all around.

All the magic previously cast, including Ned Percy summoned by Rosie using the Resurrection Stone, were all ineffective or disappeared.

what happened?

Just as he was wondering, Rossi suddenly felt his feet become empty and he fell down.

A few minutes later, by the big lake in the village of Newcastle, Irene looked at Rosie and Fan who were all wet, and said with both joy and amusement:

"Fortunately there is a lake below, otherwise when you leave the plane, you two would have to go to the spirit world for a walk."

After a pause, she asked again: "This incident is over? But what about Holmes? Is he..."

"I'm afraid Sherlock really hasn't entered there." Fan sighed.

While talking, a villager from Newcastle Village noticed the three people by the lake and quickly walked over to check the situation.

"Hey! You guys..."

As soon as he shouted a word, he saw Irene next to Rosie, and immediately shouted in horror, "Ghost...Ghost!!!"

"Don't be afraid, Carol."

Recognizing the person's identity, Fan said in a calm voice, "This is my companion."

Hearing his voice, Carol suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, Van Helsing, you have changed your companion again? That's right. I saw Mr. Sherlock was taken away by the troupe a few days ago, and he shouldn't be able to follow you.

Let’s investigate together.”

"He was taken away by the troupe?" Rossi and the other three asked in unison.

"Yeah, don't you know?"

Carol said strangely, "There was a death in the troupe that day, and I happened to meet Mr. Sherlock. After he helped the troupe solve the case, he was 'invited' away by the troupe, saying that he was asked to assist in investigating a big case abroad.

Case. Oh, by the way, except for the people who were present at the time, it seems that this matter has not been spread."
