Gradually, the maid was completely silent.

Silently poked out of her head little by little, jumped out against the ceiling, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A brass key dropped from the maid's body.

The three of them searched the basement for a while, but found no clues related to the disappearance, so they immediately turned back upstairs.

Back in the hall, Isabella's body was gone.

"Uh...... Sissy, I have a bad premonition. Looking at the place where the body disappeared, Erin said with a wry smile.

Rosie instantly understood what she meant.

The maid's body disappeared before, and then they fought with the maid; Now that Isabella's body has also disappeared, there is a high probability that there will be a fight with Isabella in the future.

"I have the same hunch."

With a forced smile, she looked at Fan again, "Fan, if there is still undestroyed ritual magic in this castle, where do you think it will be!" ”

Fan said calmly: "This needs to be searched for, and there are no specific location requirements for ritual magic, so there is no way to deduce where it is." ”

Go search?

Rossi had observed before, this castle has a total of six floors, and if you search room by room, it must be extremely time-consuming.

And right now, what they lack most is time.

The mission had less than thirty minutes left, but neither the location of the second ritual magic nor the crucial evidence that could lead to the conclusion of the disappearance, they had no clue yet.

"Alright, then let's hurry up and take a look at every room in the castle first!"

If you can't find a clue, you'll have to let the mission fail.

Silently adding in his heart, Rosie ran quickly upstairs.

There is a staircase on the left and right sides of the castle, connected by long corridors flanked by rooms.

"The castle feels like an apartment."

When he searched to the fourth floor, Rosie, who was familiar with the layout of the castle, couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Fan, who entered a room on the right side of the corridor to search, suddenly shouted: "Come down here, there is a secret door here, and it is also locked." ”

They had also encountered a few locked secret doors before, and after opening them with a lock-picking charm, there was nothing special inside.

"It's coming!"

After looking at the room at a glance again, Rosie, who confirmed that there was no clue, retreated, and happened to take a look at Erin who had finished searching the opposite room, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked quickly to the room where Fan was.

"Alaho Cave Open!"

The spell flicked at the brass keyhole in the iron door, but nothing happened.

Huh? No movement?

Rosie's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was no movement, which meant that there was something unusual in this place.

With a flick of her wand, she cast another spell:

"Blast Rumble!"

With a bang, the iron door was quietly deformed, but it was not opened.

Huh? So sturdy?

With a slight movement of his brain, Rosie lifted his wand little by little, and let out a shrinking charm.

"Shrink down!"

"Why don't you try the yellow ...... that fell out of that maid?"

Before the three words "copper key" could be said from Fan's mouth, the iron door shrank under the effect of magic and fell to the ground with a "bang", "uh...... When I didn't say. ”

Hearing his words, Rosie realized that the key should be used here.

Not...... It doesn't matter.

Muttering silently, Rossi cast his gaze to the dimly lit room in the secret door.

The room was filled with large glass containers containing the corpses of women soaked in a cloudy liquid.

"Huh? Why do most of these corpses look like the maid? Erin asked, confused.

Except for a few corpses soaked on the edge, everything else was in the form of the maid.

"These are Lady Margaret and her servants."

Rosie recognized them because he had seen their profiles at Sherlock's house.

At this time, Fan Shen on the side said in a deep voice: "These liquids can change the corpse into that specific appearance, and then it can be replaced by the maid."

Margaret they haven't changed yet, it's that the soaking time is not enough. ”

"Huh? How do you know? Erin looked at him strangely.

"Here's the instructions." Fan gestured to a page of paper on the workbench in front of him.

Compound formaline decoction?

Looking at the content on the paper, Rosie couldn't help but want to laugh a little, what an intuitive name! Compound decoction plus formalin?

"It seems that in addition to the corpses of Margaret and the others, the rest should be Hayley Gregory and her servants."

As Fan's voice fell, the system's prompt sounded:

"Ding! Get key evidence in the case of Hayley Gregory's disappearance: Hayley Gregory's body. ”

"The case of Hayley Grageory's disappearance has been solved, please keep the key evidence and go to the Ministry of Magic to claim your reward."

Preserve key evidence?!!!

Hearing the prompt of the system, Rosie, who was taking pictures of the instruction paper of the compound formamine decoction, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, so many corpses, who knows which one is hers, how to keep this?

I was muttering in my heart, but I vaguely heard a scream in my ears.

"What sound ?!!"

The three of them immediately went out of the room and ran to the window to look in the direction from which the sound had come.

The view swept across the lake to the village of Newcastle.

On the other side of the village, the ghouls who had attacked Rossi and her sisters had gathered there, and were approaching the village little by little.

And inside the village, huge stitch monsters are wreaking havoc. For this monster that even Rossi and the three of them found intractable, those villagers could not resist at all, and could only scream in fear and crawl towards the castle.

Suddenly, the villagers running in the middle of the bridge froze in place, and looked up at the window where Rossi and the others were.

Well? Did they find us?

No, even if we are discovered, it won't be ......

Rosie was puzzled, but the glass of the window shattered with a "bang", and in the next second, a black mist jumped in, rolled up and flew out of Fan, who was standing at the front.

"Fan!"

Rosie, who suddenly provoked a defensive barrier on his body, screamed, and reached out to grab Fan, but he grabbed it empty.

When he looked at it, the black mist carried Fan Fei to the roof.

"Erin, keep up!"

With a quick admonition, Rosie jumped out of the window, summoned Buckbeak and chased after him.

On the roof of the villa is a large lawn with a gazebo and fountain.

Although Fan was drenched in blood, the expression on his face regained his composure, and he pulled out his silver-plated long sword and slashed towards the dark cloud that was enveloping him.

"Ahhhhh

With a scream, Van Dengshi was thrown out and fell on the roof.

"Healing Hands!"

Erin, who flew up to the roof of the building with her shadowless skill, immediately cast a healing spell on him.

The dark cloud fell not far away, taking the form of Isabella, and cried out:

"You've damaged my skin, huh! Make amends with your blood! ”

At this time, she has lost her previous beauty, and her body is lit with strange magic words, which feels very similar to the ritual magic in the basement of the castle.

Is it ritual magic based on living people?

Seeing this, Rossi suddenly had a guess in his heart.

At this time, Isabella once again turned into a cloud and pounced on the three of them.

"Protect them all!"

"Peacefully guarded!"

While taking Buckbeak back into the pet system, Rosie raised his wand and uttered the incantation.

However, after only five seconds, countless cracks flashed in the defensive barrier she cast, and they were about to shatter before they looked.

"Her damage has gotten higher?"

Erin said in surprise as she waved her wand to make up for it.

"It should be that the silence in the basement also resides in her." Fan said as he swung his silver-plated sword, trying to attack the other party.

However, his movements were not as fast as Isabella's in the cloud state, and each attack slashed into the air.

Seeing this, Rosie immediately put her wand to her mouth, took a deep breath of cold air and blew it out.

"Frost!"

Layers of frost and snow spread upwards in an instant, but it didn't seem to affect Isabella in the slightest.

Too bad, right? Is she completely immune to magic?

The thought crossed her mind, and Rosie tried to unleash the Shadow Arrow on her again.

But the Shadow Arrow, which was supposed to be tracking her enemies automatically, seemed to have no interest in her, and flew straight into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

She is inactive in this state?

At the same time as this thought passed through her mind, Erin on the side added another defensive magic when the defense shield was broken.

"What to do? Drag on for her to turn back into human form? ”

Seeing that Rosie's magic didn't work against Isabella in the form of clouds, Erin asked anxiously.

At this moment, there are only ten minutes left in the time limit of the mission, and it is obviously not a good idea to delay the time.

Rosie's eyes flashed, and he took out the resurrection stone and held it in his palm:

"Dexter Fosco!"

She tried to summon the Headmaster of Hogwarts, but nothing happened.

？？？

What's going on? Is it that you can't summon the dead in this plane? Or is he not dead at this time period?

The thought flashed through her mind, and she pronounced another name again, but there was still no reaction on the field.

Can't really summon the revenant?

Rosie unbelieving uttered the oldest, unlegendary, unsung name she knew:

"Ned Percy!"

This is actually an ordinary person, the patriarch of the Muggle family that built Hogwarts Castle, and Rosie had seen his portrait during the exam in the study space, and it was said that he was an extraordinary martial artist.

In fact, she didn't have much hope, but what she didn't expect was that as her words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the side.

The next moment, a dark blonde-haired male ghost emerged from the void.

Well? It's not that it can't be summoned?

Rosie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, the time in this plane was much older than the time outside, and the two principals she had tried to summon before might not have died, or even been born.

As soon as Ned Percy saw the situation on the field, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and he looked at Rossi and said angrily:

"In this case, what are you summoning me out for? I'm not even defenseless! ”

"Don't be angry, Mr. Percy, if you need a weapon, I'll prepare it for you."

Knowing that disturbing the peace of the revenant soul would attract disgust, Rossigan smiled and reassured, and then quickly pointed his wand downward, "The big knife is flying!" ”

After a few seconds of waiting, just as Erin's [Enemy Trap] was about to shatter, a wide-backed broadsword with a strange glow flew in.

Percy, who was standing beside Rossi, grabbed the hilt of the knife and flew up, chasing Isabella's changing clouds and slashing down.

As if not expecting him to fly, Isabella is struck by Percy and screams and floats to the ground, turning back into a human.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Percy and Van rushed towards her at great speed.

At the same time, Rosie also waved his wand and unleashed a series of fireballs at her:

"The flames are blazing!"

Seeing that they were approaching, Isabella screamed suddenly.

Van and Percy froze there, one bleeding from the seven orifices and the other body darkening.

It's clear that Isabella's screams have the dual effect of damage and vertigo.

Fortunately, at this time, the fireball released by Rossi smashed over.

To avoid the burning flames, Isabella stopped howling and grabbed Fan with her hands flashing with demonic letters.

Seeing that Fan was about to be in danger, Rosie jerked his wand in his palm and drew a circle around where he was standing.

"Trap!"

"Healed Soul!"

At the same time, with the wave of the wand in Erin's hand, a milky white arc emanated from the tip of the wand, instantly connecting everyone on the field.

With a "bang", Isabella was shocked out by the barrier of magic that Rossi had placed around Fan.

Seeing that she was about to fall from the roof of the building, her body suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke, and swept towards Rossi like lightning.

Before he could cast the defensive magic, a shield suddenly lit up on Rossi's body, which was the Iron Armor Spell cast by Erin in time.

Because of the peculiarity of the revenant, Percy immediately turned around and chased after Isabella as soon as the vertigo ended; However, Fan stopped for a long time under the healing of magic before finally regaining his combat effectiveness.

After another two minutes of fighting, and seeing that the remaining time was getting less and less, Rosie simply used all the spells she could use.

“…… Calling the gods to protect you! ”

The silver rabbit leapt out of the tip of the staff, kicked its legs hard, and jumped towards Isabella's conjurified clouds.

As if encountering a natural enemy, the clouds and mist that flashed in the air suddenly stagnated, and in an instant they turned back into human form and fell heavily to the ground.

Belch...... It turned out that she was going to use the Patronus Charm to restrain her, why didn't I think of it earlier!

Seeing this scene, Rossi was speechless for a while.

Seizing this opportunity, Van and Percy swung their swords and slashed at the screaming Isabella......

"Ding! Ritual magic destroyed (2/2). ”

As Isabella's head changed, the system prompt rang again.

Immediately after, a burst of fog suddenly rose all around.

All the spells cast before, including Ned Percy, who Rossi summoned with the Resurrection Stone, all failed or disappeared.

What's going on?

Just wondering, Rosie suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person fell.

A few minutes later, by the big lake in the village of Newcastle, Erin looked at Rosie and Fan, who were wet, and said with both joy and amusement:

"Fortunately, there is a lake below, otherwise when you come out of the plane, you two will have to go to the spirit world for a walk."

After a pause, she asked again, "Is this incident over?" But what about Sherlock Holmes? Is he ......"

"Sherlock probably didn't really get there." Fan sighed.

As he spoke, a villager in the village of Newcastle noticed three people by the lake and walked over quickly to check on the situation.

"Hey! You ......"

As soon as he shouted a sentence, he saw Erin beside Rosie, and immediately shouted in horror, "Ghost...... Phantom!!! ”

"Don't be afraid, Carol."

Recognizing the identity of the person, Fan said in a calm voice, "This is my companion." ”

Hearing his voice, Carol suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, Van Helsing, you have changed your companion again?" Yes, I saw that Mr. Sherlock was taken away by the troupe the other day, so I probably can't investigate with you. ”

"He was taken away by the troupe?" Rosie and the three asked in unison.

"yes, don't you know?"

Carol said strangely, "There was a death in the troupe that day, and it happened that Mr. Sherlock, and after he helped the troupe solve the case, he was 'invited' by the troupe, saying that he wanted to help him go abroad to investigate a big case. Oh, by the way, it doesn't seem to have gotten word out of the story except for the people who were there at the time. ”
