HP Parallel World

Chapter276 Negotiation

(Only half of it was written, but I was too sleepy and the typos were not corrected, so I’ll wait until tomorrow morning to write the rest!) Scarlett Hao’s box was discovered by her compatriots, and she was forced to take her box with her.

On that day when they were running around in the woods, although Willette never appeared in front of Scarlett Hao's compatriots from beginning to end, her compatriots were not fools either.

Facing Winnie who was chased by them for most of the forest, he knew that if this young man had that ability and could knock them all down, then he would have done it long ago, and there would be no need to wait until that time. Scarlett Hao

Of course, my compatriots understood that the reason why they and many people around them suddenly fell into a coma on the day they launched the chase must be because someone had tampered with them.

When he woke up from his sleep, he only saw Scarlett Hao, but not Winnie who had left there with the box. Naturally, it was even more impossible for Scarlett Hao's compatriots to know that Willett was the one who was there.

The one who sprinkled the powder in mid-air and then made them all fall into a comatose state.

At this moment, since Willett became an uninvited guest with Winnie and appeared in their settlement, then the centaur naturally had that reason to suspect that she should have been taken away by Winnie.

On the day when I picked up the box, I ran into the woods and knocked down all of their pursuers.

"I know very well that you have always been opposed to Scarlett Hao's external communications, but your objections cannot change it. Scarlett Hao has indeed established a friendship with wizards from human society.

fact."

If he wanted to come to this place to harm Scarlett Hao, he would have succeeded long ago. When Willett and the others first entered this settlement, there was no one in the settlement who could identify them.

The smell of a wolf cub.

As long as he seizes the time and does nothing without stopping, but has just met Hao Sijia and immediately launches a fatal curse on her, then he will have become a corpse long ago without any ability to protect himself.

However, Scarlett Hao is still alive at this moment, so this naturally shows that the purpose of Willett and others is definitely not to come to this place to kill Scarlett Hao.

When Willett and the others were checking Scarlett Hao's condition just now, in addition to him as a patient, there was actually her mother in the room who had obviously been busy taking care of him in the past period of time.

Although she hoped that her daughter could recover, she did not have the ability to do so. Because the mother had always focused on her daughter, she did not actually notice Willie and the others.

s arrival.

When Willett and Winnie heard the howling of wolves from outside, they immediately took off their cloaks and then appeared outside the house. As for Scarlett Scarlet's mother, she was there

Not knowing that there were actually two invisible men inside the house, they just stood in front of her daughter so that she could protect her daughter at any time, while also keeping an eye on Willet and Winnie outside the house.

As agreed, Vincent and Amir stayed in the house together. Even though Vincent could hear the barking of wolves from outside the house, he was not worried that his and Amir's existence would be exposed.

After all, there is only a very thin wooden wall between the two of them, Willett and Winnie. Therefore, the wolves in the tribe cannot speak, but can only keep moving toward strangers.

With their free calls, it is almost impossible for Vincent and Amir to be noticed by others.

Unlike the two people outside the house who remained in a state of surrender, Vincent and Amir both held their weapons firmly in their hands. Once Willett's negotiations outside failed, then

Will immediately take coercive measures to move Scarlett Hao out of this settlement. At this moment, Vincent was holding Violet's disappearing cabinet that was put in his pocket.

Scarlett Hao's mother held a small knife in her hand, keeping vigilance at all times while watching the people outside. However, facing such a weapon, it was actually very simple for Vincent and the others to achieve their goal.

As long as he casts magic before taking action to ensure that the movement inside the house will not be transmitted outside the house, Vincent only needs to change the lighting conditions inside the house so that others cannot see clearly whether there is still someone lying on the straw pile.

It's enough to have someone.

The weapon held by Hao Sijia's mother can be disarmed in the blink of an eye and put him into a comatose state. Vincent and Amir only need to take out the cabinet and open the door, and then they can directly transfer Hao Sijia from here.

Go to the country house.

They waited until they got there before deciding where they would send him for treatment. Vincent did not take immediate action because the negotiations outside the house had not yet reached a final conclusion.

But he just held the weapon in his hand silently.

The principal in the original novel is not only highly respected in the wizarding world, but also has the respect and love given by many other non-human magical creatures. Therefore, although the centaurs in the original novel do not like to interact with him,

People in the school often come and go, but they still trust the principal's character, so if they encounter any problems, they are still willing to solve it with the principal.

However, not every principal can have such high moral and esteem. It may not be able to gain the trust and respect of other non-human magical creatures. Therefore, it is often not possible to solve the problems that arise between such magical creatures and humans.

Conflicts and disputes abound. The current principal of Hogwarts does not have such a high level of charisma like the principal in the original novel.

Therefore, even if he wanted to save his daughter, the leaders of the people in the castle had no choice but never sent Hao Sijia to medical treatment.

"More than a month ago, Scarlett Hao had no problem communicating with us. But in the past month, we have not been able to get any news from him. So, since it was originally because we were willing to make friends with him,

That's why we communicated with him, so if he hasn't contacted us for a long time, we naturally need to come and see how he is doing."

With such an explanation, they clearly explained why they entered this settlement without anyone's consent. Will and the others quickly made it clear their purpose of coming, indicating that they just wanted to come here to understand

Just a quick look at Scarlett Hao’s situation.

It's just a pity that the other party didn't buy his rhetoric at all.

"It seems that part of the reason why I am lying here seriously injured is to blame you. If it were not for you, then he would never go to the Triwizard Tournament to find someone.

I personally helped deliver the letter, so I was attacked and ended up like this."

The villagers of Little Hangleton still call this house "Riddle House", even though the Riddle family has not lived here for many years. The house is located on a hillside, and the entire village can be seen from here. Several doors of the house

The windows were boarded up, the tiles on the roof were missing, and ivy was crawling all over the house. Riddle House was originally a beautiful mansion, the most spacious and imposing building for miles around.

, but now it has become humid, desolate, and uninhabited all year round.

The villagers of Little Hangleton unanimously believe that this old house is "weird and scary." Half a century ago, a bizarre and terrifying thing happened here. Until now, the elders in the village still talk about it when they have nothing else to talk about.

I like to bring this matter up and talk about it. This story has been told repeatedly by people, and many places have been enriched, so no one can say for sure what the truth is. However, every version of the story starts with the same

It starts in this way: Fifty years ago, when Riddle was still well-managed and magnificent, at dawn on a sunny summer day, a maid walked into the living room and found that all three members of the Riddle family were dead.

The maid screamed all the way down the hillside and ran into the village, trying to wake up as many villagers as possible.

"They are all lying down with their eyes wide open! They are all cold! They are still wearing their dinner clothes!"

The police were called, and the entire village of Little Hangleton was immersed in surprise and curiosity. The villagers tried their best to conceal their inner excitement, but failed. No one wasted effort, pretending to feel sad for the Derill family, because they were in the village

Their popularity is very bad. The old couple are very rich, but they are snobbish and rude. Their adult son Tom, you may not believe it, is actually a bit worse than his parents. What the villagers are concerned about is who the murderer is -

-Obviously, it is impossible for three seemingly healthy people to die of natural causes at the same time on the same night.

That night, the business of the Hanged Man's Tavern in the village was particularly prosperous. It seemed that the whole village came to talk about the murder. They abandoned the stove at home, but it was not for nothing, because the cook of the Riddle family arrived dramatically.

Among them, and telling the suddenly quiet tavern patrons, a man named Frank Bryce had just been arrested.

"Frank!" several people shouted, "No way!"

Frank Bryce was the gardener of the Riddle family. He lived alone in a shabby cabin in the garden of the Riddle house. Frank came back from the war that year, one of his legs was so stiff that he couldn't control it, and he was angry with the crowd.

He was extremely averse to noise and has been working for the Riddle family ever since.

People in the tavern rushed to buy drinks for the cook, wanting to hear more details.

"I have long thought he was strange," the cook told the villagers who were listening eagerly after drinking her fourth glass of sherry. "He is cold and uncommunicative. I believe that if I want to invite him to a cup of tea,

, I had to ask him a hundred times before he agreed. He never likes to interact with others."

"Well, how should I put it," said a woman next to the bar, "Frank has participated in a cruel war. He likes to live a peaceful life, and we have no reason to-"

"So, who else has the key to the back door?" the cook said gruffly, "I remember that there was a spare key hanging in the gardener's cabin! No one broke in last night! The window

It's not broken! Frank just needs to sneak into the big house while we are all asleep..."

The villagers exchanged glances silently.

"I've always found him to be very annoying, really." A man next to the bar muttered.

"If you let me tell you, it was the war that made him weird," said the tavern owner.

"I told you I didn't want to offend Frank, right, Dot?" said an emotional woman in the corner.

"He has a terrible temper." Dot nodded enthusiastically and said, "I still remember when he was little..."

The next morning, in the dark, gloomy police station in Little Hangleton, Frank stubbornly repeated over and over again that he was innocent. He said that on the day the Riddles died, he met them near the house.

The only person who arrived was a teenage boy he didn't recognize. The boy had dark hair and a pale face. No one else in the village had seen such a boy, and the police concluded that Frank had made it up out of thin air.

Just when the situation was extremely serious for Frank, the Riddle family's autopsy report came back, suddenly turning the entire situation around.

The police had never seen a more bizarre report than this. A team of doctors examined the bodies and concluded that none of the Riddles had been harmed by poison, sharp objects, pistols, suffocation or death.

Strangled. In fact (the report went on with obvious confusion), all three of the Riddles looked healthy - except for one thing: they were all dead. The doctors noticed (it seemed they

Determined to find something wrong on the body), everyone in the Riddle family had a look of horror on their faces - but as the police who were at a loss said, who had ever heard of three people being frightened at the same time?

Where is the dead one?

Since there was no evidence that the Riddles had been murdered, the police had to release Frank. The Riddles were buried in the churchyard of Little Hangleton, and their graves have been the subject of curiosity for some time.

To everyone's surprise and suspicion, Frank Bryce actually returned to his cabin in the grounds of Riddle House.
