Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1004 Fathers’ distress

  The ghost living in Rashomon escaped because of fear of human cruelty.

  ——Rashomon

  Orvieto is not far from Rome, Xavi should have arrived.

  Joseph took the blackberry to look for signals everywhere, but searched the entire monastery. Only the signal near the greenhouse was slightly better. Unexpectedly, he met Father Stein, the exorcist.

  He was picking eggs in the chicken shed next to the greenhouse. He saw Joseph appear and greeted him symbolically. Then he continued to work on himself as if he did not exist.

   "I've heard of you." Joseph pursed his mouth and said stiffly.

   "I've heard of you too." Stein was picking up eggs and said without looking back, "How did you sleep last night?"

   "Not bad." Joseph said insincerely. In fact, he did not sleep well, and there was even a faint dark shadow under his eyes.

   "Did you feel abnormal?"

   "What is abnormal?"

   "I always feel that someone is walking up and down in the hallway. I opened the door three times the night before I got here."

  Joseph was silent

   "I can only tell them that my bladder will be particularly tense in an unfamiliar environment. You know, it is normal for people to go to the toilet several times at night when they are old."

   "I woke up twice, and every time I opened the door, there was no one outside." Joseph said in a deep voice, "I thought someone went to the bathroom at night."

  Fr Stein stared at Joseph, as if trying to discern whether he was telling the truth.

"In 1987, there was a German girl named Anna. She had been taking care of her father who was seriously ill. One day, when she finished her care and was in a trance, she seemed to see a black snake crawling over the bed to bite. Her father, she wanted to drive it away, but found that her right arm could not move. When she saw her hand, she found that her fingers had turned into black little snakes. She was frightened, and all she could do was Prayed, but the scriptures that appeared in her mind were all in English, and she lost the ability to speak German. Some people said she was possessed, but she insisted on seeing a doctor. After receiving hypnosis, she saw the illusion again. Later, she completely It is cured. The doctor said that she suffered from conversion hysteria because of the trauma or suppressed desire that manifested itself as symptoms of physical disease through the conversion mechanism. Have you heard of this disease?"

   "Yes." Joseph said coldly, "Did they even tell you this?"

"I'm discussing Anna's case with you." Stein laid down the egg. "I have been thinking about what drove Anna to a'fraud'. I think that the snake tried to bit her father. Maybe this is the reason. "

   "She doesn't want to take care of her seriously ill father?"

   "She is a good girl, but she is under too much pressure, and she is so tired that she is in a daze."

  Joseph sniffed.

"when are you leaving?"

   "After the investigation is over..."

  Stein showed the same weird expression as Sean.

   "What are you doing?"

   "Like you, I will leave after investigating the case 400 years ago, but I am an old guy. It is actually quite good to be here for the elderly."

   "I'm not the same as you." Joseph said quietly, "What do you think is that wandering around in the monastery in the middle of the night?"

  "Ghost, but I don’t know if he is Gillem or Halzer. The former may have died of curse, while the latter may have died of trial. At that time, the church..."

   "I know, in order to prevent the situation from becoming more chaotic." Joseph stopped Stein from continuing. "Because I feel wronged, Harzer has become an evil spirit?"

   "Or worse, this place was targeted by the devil. There is a convent in Romania..."

   "I know." Joseph interrupted Stein again solemnly. "Father Gordon has been there."

"Women are more psychic than us, but unfortunately, no nuns will come to help us. I think we have to rely on ourselves this time." Stein patted the ash on his hands. "You want to see the detention back then. Viscount’s room?"

  "What is the name of this monastery?" Joseph asked.

   "It used to be called the Prince's Monastery. Now, it is just a strange monastery. It would be great if it could solve all problems by burning it on fire."

   "What happened to Viscount Wilkes?"

   "Five years after the trial, he also died. It is said that it was an accident."

   "Someone killed him?"

   "He confessed to almost all the local nobles in one breath, making them almost burned to death in a dishonorable manner." Stein smiled and said, "In order to protect him, the bishop locked him in the monastery."

  "This monastery?"

   "Of course not. A few years after the incident, the Prince's Monastery was moved to this place as a whole, and there have been no incidents for 400 years."

"until today."

   "I heard that in the local area, there is still a custom. On the Sunday before Easter, the locals will wear white robes, wear long-nosed masks, and hit passers-by with inflated pig bladder on the head."

  "Do you think this is related to the events of the year?"

   "I don't know." Stein said calmly, "I wish I could go back to Bavaria four hundred years ago and see what happened that year."

  ===================================

  Mills turned on the phone. He still didn't receive Joseph's reply, so he put the phone back in his pocket.

  What Isabella Taylor said made him very uneasy. He didn't want to go back to the hotel until he understood the situation.

  Los Angeles does not have as many skyscrapers as New York. The main tall buildings are in the city center. It is not difficult to rent a motel in the suburbs.

  There is no need to worry about falling to death on flat ground, but the hotel has a swimming pool, which Mills did not expect.

  He couldn't help taking out the phone again, but there was still no new mail, and then he threw it on the table, lying on the bed and staring in a daze.

  Now the doctor should be dissecting Angela Warren’s body. He suspects that Angela will become a cat and leopard like the "Snake Girl" on the circus poster.

  That weird circus has not only performed in France but also in New York, but it is also a street performer.

  If someone turns into a snake, the media will never miss it. Mills can't find any other words to describe it except for the weird.

  Compared with this, he would rather deal with robbers with guns.

   "Russian..." Mills murmured, "Does the FBI suspect that he is a Russian spy?"

  This idea was really nonsensical, and he was almost amused by himself.

  Theoretically, Angela's father should have come to see her from Detroit, but the guy reportedly had a heart bypass operation and was also in the hospital. It is precisely because of this that Angela ran to Detroit to find him.

When he is discharged from the hospital, Angela should also go to the soil for peace. It is not good to bury her daughter. This is true for Mills, especially since the news of her first fatherhood came from the murderer of his wife. When you get it.

   "I don't believe in those things." Mills said when he was lying on the psychiatrist's couch. "But being able to blame someone else's makes me a lot easier."

   Half of these words are true.

  Mills picked up the cigarette on the bedside table, lit it proficiently, and then lay on the bed to smoke.

  As for the unfinished pack of nicotine gum, it should have been buried in a garbage dump.

  At this moment, he felt a long-lost relaxation, and it felt so comfortable to be a mortal.

  ===================================

   "I can't believe it!" Hermione Granger broke it down with a knife and fork fiercely as if he had a grudge against the pork chop.

   "What's wrong with you?" Pomona held a cup of tea, leaning on the back of the deck and drank slowly.

   "Ron!" Gryffindor's lioness roared.

   "How did he provoke you again?"

  Hermione is like a frustrated balloon, lowering her head in frustration.

   "Every time I go home from get off work, I have to clean up the room, but he is lying on the sofa reading comics and eating snacks."

   Pomona recalled.

This is one of the rare advantages of Severus. This may be derived from the habit of the potions professor for many years. After the experiment, the experiment table and utensils should be cleaned up. Don't worry about being in the same room with Gryffindor. That way, no matter how you clean it, it will be messy.

   "When I get angry, he doesn't coax me, and he snores like thunder when I sleep!"

  Pomona was taken aback.

  Severus actually coaxed her after irritating her. Why did she discover the precious advantages now?

  Girls are inevitably complaining about their boyfriends when they are together. Most men are just like Ron. They don’t take it seriously. Otherwise, they think it’s okay to apologize for buying a bunch of roses.

  No wonder Severus Snape is regarded as a "love saint".

   "He is a child himself, how can he be a father in the future?" Hermione frowned with sorrow.

  Pomona's heart was alarming.

"you are pregnant?"

   "No, I'm just thinking about whether or not to have a baby in the last two years." Hermione grabbed her fluffy hair. "Molly said that I would have a baby before going to work. I thought..."

  "Are you living in Harry's house now to hide from Ron?"

   "No, why do you think so?"

  Pomona didn’t know what to say.

  She stood outside Grimmauld Place for a while, and Hermione saw her through the window and then went out to find her for lunch.

  Pomona asked her to pass on the gift to Teddy by the way, but this ordinary potluck seems to have caused a terrible topic.

  A young man who doesn’t like tidying up his room and still reads comics like children can change his lifestyle and become a qualified father?

  Although the child is not popcorn, he will appear with a "pop", but the first time I heard that I was a father, I felt that...

   "What's the matter?" Hermione immediately asked when Pomona's expression turned melancholy.

   "Nothing." She said perfunctorily.

  Before she had time to tell him about the pregnancy, the baby was gone. Although it was all the news from the doctor, it felt like it was too much.

   At this moment, she raised her head and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window. A man dressed in black and white as a vampire was standing next to a red telephone booth, but when a double-decker bus passed by, he disappeared.

   "What's wrong?" Hermione followed her gaze and looked out.

   "It's nothing." Pomona stood up, "I have something else to leave."

   "It looks like a loyal dog." Voldemort sneered in her mind.

  Pomona ignored him.

  She ran to the other side of the street, where the person was standing just now. Because the phone booth was blocked just now, she didn't notice the alley.

She walked in along it. Unlike the lively and tidy street, the pavement in the alley is full of potholes, and there is no one. The oily smoke from cooking dishes is discharged along the flue in the alley. Going up is like a layer of fog.

  She endured the choking smoke and continued to walk forward. After walking for about a minute or two, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of her.

   She knew the tall one, and the short one seemed to be a child, but his eyes were so fierce that he looked like an ungrown wolf pup.

   "Introduce, this is Felix Young."

   "It's Jan Felix." The boy corrected Severus. "According to our custom, the last name comes before the first name."

   "Just like you heard it." Severus looked up at Pomona. "What do you think?"

   "What do I think?"

   "He is the silent one who attacked Diagon Alley..." He stopped here and looked behind Pomona.

   "What's the matter?" She turned her head subconsciously, and a breeze made the oil fume suspended in the air move, as if someone was standing there just now.

  She has forgotten how Audio-Technica loves eavesdropping.

   Just when she was about to take out the magic wand and reveal it in a human form, a burst of black smoke rose up, rushing towards her like a tsunami, and soon drowned her.

  Wait for the black torrent to pass by and flew into the sky, and the dead silence in the alley was restored again, as if nothing had happened.

  　The persecution of wizards in Stavelot is not as famous as Salem, and this small town can’t be found anymore. The town with the same name is now in the Netherlands
