The replay spell is undoubtedly a sharp weapon when the Aurors investigate the case.

Because it forces the other wand to replay the cast spell backwards, starting with the most recent spell cast, and continuing until there are not enough traces of the cast in the wand core to reveal it.

According to several wandmakers, the time limit for replaying spells should have a lot to do with the material of the wand core.

"You know, some of the core of the rod is actually more forgetful." - These are the exact words of Garrick Ollivander.

However, no matter what the core of the staff is, when it is necessary to replay the Requisitioning Spell, it will reappear in the form of an illusion of the person buried under the Requisitioning Curse.

Although this humanoid apparition similar to a ghost is only a phenomenon, they do retain some memories before and after death, as well as a temperament and personality that is almost the same as that of the deceased.

When this phenomenon first appeared to wizards, it was mistaken for a method of summoning spirits to manifest. However, when the wizarding scholars of soul science carefully compared it with the actual ghosts, they found that it was just a simulated magical phenomenon.

It's just that the simulation of this phenomenon is so realistic that most wizards have a hard time distinguishing it.

And now, Maca experienced this on the spot.

In front of him, the expressions of the young men and women looked a little gloomy. They just floated faintly in mid-air, glancing at each other, and then staring at the old wizard Lennie, who was tightly wrapped in magical ropes, fell silent.

Obviously, with their personalities, even after death, they cannot identify the murderer by their own will. This is undoubtedly sad for a creature with intelligence.

"I ...... Already dead? Zoe floated beside Maca, looking down at her hands, as if trembling slightly, "That's right, I'm dead...... I remember. ”

Maca stared at her with a hint of confusion on her face.

He could feel that the young witch was made of pure magic and a fraction of broken runes of the rules, and nothing else was mixed in with it.

Yes, it's the same as any other spell.

However, "she" has a fairly complete consciousness, and she should still have enough memory to maintain her consciousness.

But where are these consciousnesses and memories stored? Maca was puzzled.

“…… Hello," Maca said suddenly, "Excuse me, are you the Zoe Joshua said she was?" ”

Zoe, who was expressing surprise at her state, suddenly turned around, her light body making her movements seem light and erratic.

"Oh...... Yes, you are? She paused in confusion, and then suddenly said, "Ah! You're the 'McLean' that guy mentioned, right? ”

Zoe seemed to quickly remember what Joshua had said. Before Joshua went on a rampage, he repeatedly mentioned Maca's surname, which Zoe remembered at that moment.

"As you say, I'm McLean," Maka nodded, "Marca McLean." ”

As he spoke, he hesitated slightly.

"Well, I'm sorry......" Maka sighed, "I seem to be late. ”

"No, how can I blame you for this-" Zoe shook her head decisively, but said with some sadness, "It's just that my parents and grandmother, they don't know I'm dead...... If they knew, they would be very sad, right? ”

"I can't help much on that," said Maca, "but if you can tell me your full name, I can at least help you pass on some last words to them." ”

"My last name is Kowalski," Zoe pursed her lips and said softly, "but my parents may be hard to find because they've been away from the U.S. for a long time...... You can find my grandmother, she should be in Dorset, England right now. ”

"Really?" Maca nodded, "Exactly?" ”

"That's not hard to find...... As most of you in the UK know, my grandmother's sister was Newt Scamander, the author of The Monster and Its Origin. ”

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

“…… Oh, indeed," he nodded thoughtfully, "I suppose that the news of your death may cause Mr. Scamander to put an end to his retirement for the time being." ”

"It's because ...... Gellert Greenwald? Zoe hesitated, "Actually, I have something to say to you—"

"Oh, please."

Maca glanced at the staff in her hand, the tip of her staff still facing the tip of the old wizard's wand, and the magic thread was not broken.

While the two of them were talking, the replay spell continued to work.

“…… I will convey your words to your loved ones as completely as possible. ”

"No," Zoe shook her head again, her expression becoming serious, "I didn't mean to say that. ”

She paused for a moment, then said quickly, "Mr. McLean, in fact, before I died, I stumbled upon a memory of this dark wizard—"

"What memory?" Maca subconsciously glanced at the old man.

"About you and Greenwald," Zoe said, "Greenwald is deceiving you with a pretense!" He asked the old man to send a girl to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and want—"

Maca was listening carefully to Zoe's words, but suddenly he turned his head sharply. Almost at the same time, a wave of magic blew away Zoe's figure in an instant, and her voice came to an abrupt end.

"That's not going to work," the old wizard snorted, "how can a replay spell reveal the truth?" Old Lenny is really just an ordinary wizard......"

“…… Greenwald. As soon as Maca saw the old wizard's expression change, she immediately recognized the situation.

"Hello, we're meeting again." The other said calmly, "Although I do want to have a good conversation with you." But I'm sorry, I'm really busy this time, so I'm not suitable for small talk with you......"

Before the words fell, Maca didn't even have time to say anything, but she saw a strange surge under the skin of the old wizard's body, and then exploded.

Maca reacted as fast as she could, and he quickly swung his staff, ignoring the shards of flesh and blood in the sky.

"The wand is flying!"

However, all that flew into his hands were several broken wooden poles.

"This cunning—"

He hadn't finished complaining, but his expression had changed. In the next second, he quickly took out the doorkey, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the stone chamber with a splash of blood.

……

When Maca reappeared at the Hogwarts gate, his pupils instantly constricted.

On the second floor of the castle, where the school hospital is located, a dark hole stands out. And just outside the castle, in mid-air, a black fog with Mars flowing from within, was flying at high speed towards the Ravenclaw Tower to the west.

The size of the black mist was something that Maca had never seen before.

"Oops!"

To be honest, he thought he was paying quite attention. Even because of certain signs, he also left an alienated eight-eyed giant spider in the ward of the school hospital as a surveillance.

But who would have thought that it was his owl Marfa who finally warned him.

In fact, it was too late to say that it was too late, and without even thinking about it, Maca immediately activated his swiftness ability, bursting out with his greatest speed to date, and swept towards the Ravenclaw Tower like a gust of wind.

But after all, he has scruples, ordinary spells are difficult to stop the silent, but the powerful power of rules is easy to cause terrible accidental injuries.

And that black fog is obviously unscrupulous.

Maca unleashed several obstacle spells from afar, barely slowing it down a few bits. And the silver-white giant eagle that flew at full speed immediately collided with the side of the black mist.

But this series of attacks still failed to completely stop the black mist.

"Boom!"

The moment the black fog that had forcibly changed some of its flight trajectory by Maca's Patronus had dragged its long tail past the side of the Ravenclaw Tower, the outer wall of the tower immediately shattered into a gap.

I saw that some figures were knocked out of the castle by the impact, and the bricks and stones fell along with the shards of masonry towards the lawn below. Maca immediately cast a large-scale levitation spell, otherwise those students would be in danger of their lives even if they just fell.

At the same time, the Silver Eagle Patronus did not rest, but struggled with the black mist in mid-air.

Maca didn't know how many casualties there had been just now, and Luna wasn't among them. But even if she was fine, Maca couldn't put her mind at ease right now.

He is rarely angry, but this time he is really angry.

But he saw that the wizard's robe on his body, which was stained with the blood of the old wizard Lenny, was windless, which was a sign that a wizard had mobilized all the magic power of his body.

Generally speaking, ordinary wizards can't animate all their magical powers, but a good enough wizard can.

In the next instant, Maca suddenly raised her staff, and the ice-blue rule rune on the top of the staff immediately appeared, and an incomparably condensed blue-white pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

The black mist entangled by the silver giant eagle was pierced by the pillar of light of the power of the rules in the blink of an eye, and the direct part of the attack completely dissipated, not to mention, and even the surrounding black fog turned into frozen white.

When it fell from a high altitude to the ground, it could no longer support its own structure, and turned into a crystal drift in the night wind.

Seeing that the attack worked, Maca ignored it, and sped straight to the lawn by the Ravenclaw Tower.

It was only at this point that the regular pillar of light in the air could be hidden. Wherever it went, it left only countless snowflakes of ice crystals scattered down.
