The Evil God of Hogwarts

It seems my suspicions were correct all along. After hearing the man's words, Xing Ze thought in his mind. He let go of his arm, pushed the man forward, and then took out his pistol and pointed it at him.

"Don't move, put your hands up."

The man who heard the order obeyed obediently. Although he couldn't see what was going on behind him, the sound of the bullet being loaded still reached his ears quite clearly.

"Very good, turn around slowly."

The man slowly turned around. Xing Ze's night vision allowed him to see the other person's appearance clearly. There was something on his face: he was healthy but pale from his lower jaw to his right eye socket, as if he was old. But the left half was completely covered with dazzling scars. His eyelids were drooped and covered with molten flesh; half of his nose was torn open, leaving an open crater.

"Arbogast. My name is Willard Arbogast. Why did you come to Emberhead Village?" the man asked.

"To rescue some reckless, self-righteous bastard."

Arbogast shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have come here. It's still too late to go back now."

"For God's sake." Xing Ze took a long breath and said, "Are you going to convince me to go back here, or are you going to take me into the cave to see something?"

"You don't know what you're dealing with, young man. Your friends can't be saved, and no one who gets in here can get out again."

"Is this hell? Are you the monster guard here?"

Arbogast reached out and touched his left face. He looked at the torch that fell on the ground with some surprise. The torch had long been extinguished, and only the dim moonlight illuminated the surroundings.

It was not easy to see the other person's face clearly with this little light, at least not for him. Although his left eye almost lost vision, there was nothing wrong with his right eye.

"Can you see my face clearly?"

Xing Ze did not respond. At this time, the black cat ran out of the hole, jumped up on his shoulders nimbly, and then quickly integrated into his body.

This strange sight made Arbogast's face change, and he began to understand why this young man entered Emberhead Village alone.

"Can I pick up the torch? It's dark in the cave," he asked the strange young man.

"certainly."

Arbogast took a few steps to the side, bent down to pick up the torch, and asked again: "I need to get my lighter, if you allow me."

"Hurry up and light it up, damn it. If you are really a guard, then this place is fucked up." As he spoke, Xing Ze put away his pistol.

The torch was lit again, and Arbogast quickly walked towards the cave, followed closely by Xing Ze. This naturally formed cave is not very big, but it is enough to accommodate four or five people.

Xing Ze saw several bookshelves inside, filled with books and boxes of files. At the other end of the cave was a dark path going downward, probably leading to the village. There is also a workbench on the edge of the path.

"I discovered this place by accident." Arbogast placed the torch on the wall and lit the oil lamp on the workbench.

The cave became a little brighter again, and Xing Ze saw a flag hanging on the workbench with the symbol of Ouroboros on it.

According to the information sent by Ellie Owl, this symbol also appeared in a den of the Old Record Gang.

Arbogast noticed that Xing Ze was staring at the flag in a daze, so he explained aloud: "Ouroboros, eternity, reincarnation and endless life."

"Do everyone in your village believe this?"

"That's right, since that fake priest Clyde Winters came here, the idiots in the village have converted to this thing. They call this the Church of Youss, and they believe that the gods will bring them eternal life and transformation."

Xing Ze listened to the man's complaints with great interest, and he interrupted and asked, "But you don't seem to believe this."

"I only believe in the one true God."

Hearing this, Xing Ze understood, "Ah, you believe in God."

"You are very smart, young man. I was the original priest here. But now, as you have seen, they turned me into an ugly monster and imprisoned me here as a joke."

"What are they arresting people for? Sacrifice, or ritual?"

Arbogast walked to a bookshelf, reached out and took down a stack of documents. He wiped his saliva with his hand and replied: "I don't know, they don't allow me to enter the so-called holy place. But in my opinion, In addition to offering sacrifices, they seemed to be doing something else.”

Hatching snake people? Xing Ze guessed in his heart. The human trafficking of the Old Record Gang is a definite matter, and many clues have been found in Liverpool, but judging from the situation in this village, it seems that things are not that simple.

"Take me to a place where people are detained."

Arbogast gave an ugly sneer and asked: "Even if you can rescue them, what are you going to do? There is no transportation or communication here. The cars and phones in the village are closely guarded.

"Don't tell me that you have a car. There are dogs and sentries in the village. You will probably be caught up before you escape from the village. This kind of thing has happened before, but it has never been successful. Even if someone can escape by chance, Village. Believe me, they will be captured soon."

"Why?" Seeing the other party speaking with such certainty and despair, Xing Ze couldn't help but become curious.

"There are their spies in the woods. You won't believe what I say. But I have seen those abominable monsters with my own eyes. Ordinary people can't see them, but they can be seen clearly with certain methods."

After that, Arbogast found a few documents from those documents and handed them to Xing Ze, "This may be helpful to you, but there is no guarantee that it will be useful."

Xing Ze took the pieces of paper and looked at them. There were a lot of words written densely on them, as well as some simple pictures. It didn't take him long to finish reading them.

Obviously, the former priest really wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, so he did a lot of research. What was recorded in these documents was a creature called a demon.

Of course, the translation is not accurate. Like most things in dreams, the true meaning of the names of monsters and ghosts cannot be understood by humans.

This creature is very similar to humans, the size of a pony, with rough and knobby skin, and uses sharp claws to attack.

The most frightening thing is that they can blend into the nearby environment like a chameleon, making it difficult to distinguish them. If there is such a thing wandering in the woods outside the village, there is really little hope of escaping.

"High-intensity light? Are they afraid of light?" Xing Ze asked Arbogast.

"Yes, that's what the literature says, but I haven't practiced it."

"Where did you find this information?"

A look of pride appeared on Arbogast's face, "Clyde Winters would ask me to help organize his study. I would take notes every time I went there. This is the result of my five years. The guy must have thought I had given in, so he became less and less wary of me."
