Chapter Twenty-Four: Manson Manor (Part II)

There is no doubt that it was a person, or should have been, a person.

But how can a human face grow like that! Searching through his pitifully simple reserves of knowledge, Brandi discovers in despair that he may only be able to describe it in one word—the walking corpse.

The Walking Dead?! Merlin is on top, and he is not on the set of a horror movie...... How can there be such a thing in reality?

Rao is Brandi has exercised his courage at Hogwarts to a certain extent, but at this moment, he only feels that his body is cold, and the hairs on his body are standing on end, he stares at the terrifying figure upstairs in horror, and involuntarily retreats backwards.

"Luna, let's go!" He shouted.

Luna's voice came over her—not behind her, but even farther away.

"Brandy, come here."

Brandi turned his head in a panic, only to find Luna's arm sticking out of the cloak, waving more than a dozen meters to his left - this was more than the impact of the walking corpses in the mansion, and anyone who saw a severed limb or organ in the empty place in this tense atmosphere would be scared out of a cold sweat. Brandi almost fainted.

"Luna, why did you run over there, we need to get out of here!" He hurriedly rushed over and grabbed her hand.

"But he seems to have something to say......?"

Luna's mouth popped out of her mouth without a head, and Brandi's body froze.

"Him?" His voice trembled slightly. "Who are you talking about...... Is there anyone else here besides the one above? ”

There was a sound of Suosuo, and Luna's head was revealed. Brandi noticed that she was wearing what looked like sunglasses, a pair of large, fancy glasses. "He's right next to you, that ghost......" she said.

Brandi looked at the cold tombstone and weeds next to him, and then looked at Luna's serious eyes, and in the dark window upstairs, he looked at Brandi's head for some time......

He suddenly felt that the whole world was crazy.

"You're saying that by wearing this, you can see ghosts that we wouldn't normally see?"

After Luna explained it to him, Brandi reinvented his crumbling worldview. He didn't go crazy, and according to Luna, in addition to the lucky ones who had solidified bodies after death, there were also some extremely rare ghosts that were powerless to make themselves observable. They can't be seen with the naked eye and have to be done with the help of certain tools.

"People don't always believe that there are ghosts that can't be seen, so Dad invented anti-demon glasses. And it turns out - they do exist! Luna's tone sounded very happy for her father, and she didn't seem to care if it was the strange gaze of the family of three upstairs that day. You see, I've got an extra pair, and of course, if you subscribe to the annual issue of Singing Against the Tune, we'll give you a pair. ”

Brandi took the chic toad glasses in her hand in horror, her eyes keeping an eye on the movements of the walking corpse - to his relief, those things had been quietly watching upstairs, and occasionally moving like an old man in his seventies and eighties, as if there was nothing to threaten him.

Looks like it's safe right now.

So he hesitated and put on the glasses. It felt no different than normal sunglasses – or worse. In addition to making the surrounding light extremely dark, it also has a certain cross-eye-like glare effect......

He quickly shook his head, which was a little bit of a wanderer, and looked in the direction that Luna was pointing, and he almost jumped up in fright—in front of the tombstone, which had been empty, suddenly revealed a vague body, its outline shaking, as if it were a television picture with poor reception.

What a great man Mr. Lovegood is...... Anti-demon glasses can really see ghosts! Before he knew it, the image of Mr. Lovegood was growing like a balloon blowing up in Brandy's mind. decided, when he returns alive, he must order a copy of "Singing and Singing" to express his reverence.

With ten thousand respects, Brandi silently made a decision.

The ghost was much taller than Brandy, and seemed to be a powerful man in his lifetime. As if to be different from Hogwarts' souls who could move around at will, he could only sit on the tombstone behind him, his indistinct features constantly squirming, as if he wanted to say something......

Brandi took off his glasses and glanced at the tombstone, which was very different from the others, and was engraved with dense small letters - "Albert Manson, led his family against the Death Eaters all night, from the wilderness to the manor, the whole family was slaughtered, but he did not give up his resistance until noon the next day, when he was killed by a mysterious man who rushed to him." Sadly, the battle wasn't revealed until months later by the visiting Prowitt family. I would like to commemorate the first family leader who dared to stand up and resist in the era of the Mysteries - established in 1961. ”

"Albert......" Brandi said the name as he put on his glasses and asked the ghost. Are you Mr. Albert Manson? ”

The ghost seemed to get agitated, and it twisted more often. He had to look away to keep himself from being stunned by the colorful glare.

"Calm down, sir. I can't understand what you mean......" he said, "you seem like you want us to do you a favor?" ”

The ghost nodded.

"Well... All right...... Let me think about how I can understand what you mean, you don't seem to be able to touch the real thing anymore. He pondered for a moment, then picked up a stone from the ground and began to write and draw on the ground.

"What are you doing, Brandy?"

Luna's voice came from beside her.

"Draw twenty-six letters and let Mr. Albert choose, and then spell them word by word, otherwise what else can I do......"

"Ah......" Luna looked at the ghost's speeding gesturing, "but Mr. Ghost said it was too slow to finish at night." ”

"I can't help it if it's slow, after all, I can't understand it...... Huh?! Brandi looked back in surprise, "How do you know what Mr. Albert means?" ”

Luna looked at him strangely, as if Brandi was the one who couldn't understand him. "Because I know some sign language."

………………

"You mean...... There is something hidden in Mr. Albert's house, and the mysterious man wants to get it? Brandi watched the exchange between Luna and Albert for some reason, one head almost two years old.

"He wants that we put things ... Take...... Surrender it to someone, or hand it over. ”

Obviously, Luna's sign language is only at a superficial level, and she can only stare blankly at many gestures. But this vague information is just enough for Brandi...... Thinking of the conversation with Voldemort in the Vault, Brandy could almost guess what it was - after all, it was only possible that it was worth Voldemort's willingness to expose all his wings and destroy a wizarding family with whom he had not previously clashed with him......

But didn't Voldemort say that it should be hidden in the school?

Brandi suddenly couldn't figure it out.

Anyway...... This was an important piece of information, and it could most likely lead Brandi and the others to continue their search for clues to the other seals in the treasure vault - he had to obtain it, both in public and private.

"Did he say where that thing was hidden?" Brandi asked.

Luna gestured awkwardly to Albert for a moment, then looked back in frustration. "I don't understand...... It seems to have something to do with a mirror or something. ”

Brandi sighed.

"You've done a good job, at least I'll be here to watch stupidly. It's okay Luna, I'd suggest you wait here - those walking corpse-like things seem to be just as afraid of light as in the movies, and they can't get out of the house, but that doesn't guarantee that they're not a threat in a dimly lit room. You can't deal with those things for the time being, and I'll have to do it myself...... Put on the cloak of invisibility, and if I don't come out before dark, you can leave here as planned and send a letter to Dumbledore, he knows what I'm looking for. ”

This time, Luna nodded obediently.

Brandi swallowed, and he took off his goggles, which would only weigh him down during the fight. He clutched his wand tightly and walked towards the back door of the small building......

"Brandy!" Suddenly there was an exclamation behind him. Brandi looked back in surprise, only to see Lou's finger pointing at the tombstone, shouting at him in confusion. "Mr. Albert is pointing to the tombstone... And me? ”

"Tombstones? Is there any specific word above? He hurriedly asked.

“…… No. ”

Brandi shook his head, he didn't understand what the mirror, the tombstone and Luna could have to do with it. Could it be that Albert was trying to say that he had something in his house that resembled the Mirror of Eris? Only a dead little girl will be able to take out the contents of it? This is obviously unrealistic, did they sacrifice a girl to seal that thing in?

But there was no doubt that he had to hurry up - he glanced at the position of the sun, and in about two or three hours, the sun should have set. God knows if the white things in the house will change into a different shape, if that's the case, I really won't be able to escape.

So he stood at the door of the back door and made up his mind—

"Squeak~~~"

With a puff of smoke and dust, and a tooth-aching grinding sound. The wooden door staggered open...... Inside, a dark, damp porch was revealed, which had begun to collapse and tilt. Brandi took a deep breath and leaned in.
