Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

It's a giant squid.

It lay underneath the cruise ship, its four tentacles grabbing the starboard side of the cruise ship, trying to drag the cruise ship into the sea.

The inside of the tentacles was covered with dense suckers, and the huge suction force caused the hull to shake for the second time.

A group of people were thrown directly off the deck and fell into the sea with a splash. The giant squid stretched out its remaining six tentacles, rolled up the people and stuffed them into its mouth.

The entire process from taking action to eating took less than two seconds. Moriarty, who witnessed everything through the window, was secretly surprised.

There is a semi-domesticated giant squid living in the black lake near Hogwarts Castle, and it is very docile to the students in the school.

The giant squid will swim to the shallows on sunny days and let the little wizards at Hogwarts tickle its tentacles.

Moriarty remembered that during a casual conversation, Leon said that he had pulled out a tentacle.

It was later confirmed that this was a joke, but it also showed that the giant squid is very docile.

But the giant squid under the cruise ship is extremely fast, ferocious and can devour humans. It is not an exaggeration to call it a sea monster.

How can a luxury cruise ship attract giant squids and Tokyo ghouls at the same time?

Without making any assumptions, Moriarty was almost certain that there was something strange about this ship.

Either there is something on the ship that attracts ghouls and giant squids.

It's not yet clear what's wrong with the cruise ship itself, but Moriarty can confirm if there's anything strange on board.

He walked out of the cabin, lifted the disillusionment spell and strode towards the captain's cabin.

The panicked crowd rushed from him to the deck, as if they could be saved if they got on the deck.

The crew tried their best to maintain order, but to no avail.

More people began to jump off the cruise ship in an attempt to escape by diving, and those who did so became the food of the giant squid without exception.

Moriarty passed by a crew member, glanced directly at the crew member's eyes, activated Legilimency, and found the location of the captain's cabin.

Generally speaking, the captain is the highest commander on the ship. Although the luxury cruise ship is the private property of the ship owner, when various goods and items are transported into the cruise ship, the first mate will give the captain a list.

Moriarty found that list.

However, Moriarty walked into the captain's cabin and found the captain's body.

The captain was a Japanese man in his fifties. A bloody hole was poked in his heart. Moriarty guessed that the wound was caused by the sharp nails of a ghoul.

Moriarty didn't care about the captain's life or death. He called out: "Come in with the cargo list!"

A stack of paper flew from the desk into Moriarty's hands, the alchemy matrix was opened, and he quickly browsed the list while eliminating targets one by one.

Thousands of items of goods were eliminated by Moriarty in five seconds. He shouted again: "The list of goods is coming!"

Two pieces of white paper flew over, and Moriarty took them and glanced at them, his eyes brightening.

It says that the luxury cruise ship belongs to the head of the Tokugawa family. Today is the day for the head of the Tokugawa family to display the family collection.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the head of the Tokugawa family will display five of the family's treasures on the cruise ship: Liucai paintings, Yata mirror, Tenmoku tea bowl, demon sword Muramasa, and Ogushikishinto.

The five treasures were brought into the top floor of the cruise ship by the Tokugawa family head. No one knows their specific location.

Most of the ghouls and giant squids came for these five treasures, maybe they are also controlled by others...

If this is the case, Moriarty wants to find five treasures first, but before leaving, he takes away a guest list.

What if the target of the ghoul and giant squid is not the treasure, but someone on the ship!

A gleam flashed in Moriarty's eyes, and things became more and more interesting.

A ball of fire appeared in his hand, and after burning the list of items, he lifted his legs and left.

There is no elevator between the eighth and ninth floors of the cruise ship. It seems that the Tokugawa family leader is quite afraid of death.

Moriarty snorted and flew directly into a window on the ninth floor and came to a corridor. At the end of the corridor was a vermilion door.

"Who? Who are you?"

A bodyguard spotted Moriarty and asked in Osaka dialect.

Moriarty glanced over, and the bodyguard fell to the ground.

"Wow--"

Dozens of guns stretched out in front of Moriarty!

It turned out that every window in the corridor was guarded by two bodyguards.

Moriarty was pointed at a gun without any trace of panic, and his face remained calm.

He sneered: "Your family head must be very afraid of death."

This sentence was spoken in Japanese, and the bodyguards understood it. One of them, a small man who looked like the leader, cursed angrily: "Baga!"

Moriarty didn't bother to get angry with them, he just snorted coldly. The temperature dropped sharply, freezing dozens of bodyguards into ice sculptures.

"Let me see what the Tokugawa family leader is doing by locking himself in there because he is afraid of death."

Moriarty showed a mysterious smile, walked towards the door, and used a little magic to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Moriarty transformed into the head of the bodyguard and walked in.

What came into view was a luxurious hall with about a hundred people inside, all of whom were well-known people from all walks of life invited by the Tokugawa family.

The bodyguard guarding the hall saw Moriarty's face clearly and did not stop him.

Moriarty was able to walk into the hall smoothly, and he saw twelve luxurious round tables, with people sitting together, with unconcealed worry on their faces.

Apparently the news of the chaos outside has reached the hall and reached the ears of these senior officials, CEOs, celebrities and others.

Moriarty noticed people's eyes faintly cast toward the center of the hall, and he looked over there.

There was no round table in the center of the hall, but a tatami, and an old man with a beard and gray hair sitting on it.

The old man was wearing a black kimono, his eyes were closed, and he had an air of calmness and dignity.

There were no guards around the old man, but no one dared to approach the old man.

Moriarty determined the identity of the old man from the crew's memories, the head of the Tokugawa family.

There was a man in his thirties kneeling in front of the old man, but he was ten meters away.

The man begged hard, saying that he hoped the old man could let him off the boat. His wife and daughter were still waiting for him at Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

The man spoke Japanese, which made Moriarty a little more curious about his identity, because the man was obviously Caucasian.

At the same time, Moriarty also noticed that the guests showed sympathy for the man, and that underneath their worried faces, they hid their complaints against the Tokugawa family head.

It's just that because of the Tokugawa family and the bodyguards on the ninth floor, I dare not speak out in anger.

"Mr. Simon Farid..."

The old man suddenly spoke, his voice was deep but very penetrating. The man whose name was called raised his head excitedly, waiting for the next words.

"You are the distinguished guest I invited to appraise the treasure. You cannot leave until the treasure appears."

Simon shook his head in pain, "But, but outside - you know, we encountered a monster!"

Some guests echoed in low voices. Simon seemed to have gained confidence and his voice became firmer: "Can you let me go?

I’ll double the money you paid. I just want to leave the cruise ship. I want to live. My wife and daughter can’t live without me!”

The voices of the guests demanding to disembark became louder. The Tokugawa family owner opened his eyes and glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes. The guests immediately fell silent.

"Mr. Simon," the head of the Tokugawa family said in a deep voice, "you are knowledgeable and have studied deeply the culture of our country, Japan. I will not embarrass you on this point.

You go down, return to the table and wait quietly for the arrival of seven o'clock!

As for the security issue you are worried about, I can guarantee the reputation of the Tokugawa family, and the monsters outside will not be able to attack."

The head of the Tokugawa family paused slightly and then said to everyone: "I can guarantee this to everyone present!"

Most of the guests present were Japanese, and they clearly understood the importance of the Tokugawa family, and gradually felt relieved.

Only Simon shook his head reluctantly. The head of the Tokugawa family waved, and two bodyguards walked over, picked up Simon's arms, and dragged Simon away.

Along the way, Simon struggled and muttered some words that others could not understand.

The guests laughed, but Moriarty looked at Simon deeply.

What Simon muttered was an ancient language that was gradually disappearing. Moriarty had heard Nico Flamel speak the same language.

At that time, Nico Flamel also said that there were no more than ten people in the world who could speak this language!

That language is Hebrew!
