Chapter 21: The Obelisk

The cave was pitch black, and even if it was lit with a lantern, it would not have any effect.

"Let's go, now we can only go down and have a look."

As he spoke, the two jumped into the hole one after another.

However, contrary to what they thought, there was no cave or tunnel underneath.

After a brief fall, the two of them landed in the corridor on the third floor of the back building.

However, unlike what they had been before, the road to the second floor was blocked by roof-like buildings in the second half of the corner.

But this was not the most important thing that attracted their attention, what really caught their attention was a yellow-glowing obelisk erected directly opposite the staircase.

"What is this?" Aba subconsciously waved his wand at it.

Ding, your magic is not enough to cast [Advanced Probe], and the spell failed.

"It's over, I can't even release the magic I have left."

At the same time as Ah Bai said this, Jiang Jing shared the results of the investigation:

"A special device of unknown purpose, with the scent of the earth elemental entwined on it."

……

They're also in the middle space?

Putting down the clairvoyance, Rosie was about to call their names, when the scenery suddenly said:

"Ah, yes! In this case, the cursed words engraved in the hidden corner of Tom are not completely useless information! ”

Hearing this, Rosie and Erin tilted their heads and looked straight at him with expressionless eyes.

"Sister, sister, why are you looking at me like this?"

Jing asked anxiously.

Call!

With a sigh of relief, Rosie said, "Tell me anything else you've discovered, whether you think it's useful or not." ”

"Nothing more, that's all.

It's to find some orphanage kids cursing Tom or cursing Tom Riddle in some hidden place, such as on the wall of the toilet, in the classroom desk, etc.

…… One thing that can be inferred from the words of these writers is that at the request of Tom Riddle, the children here were asked to build four obelisks more than one meter high on the second and third floors of the front building of the orphanage and on the second and third floors of the back building of the orphanage within two days.

But we didn't see any obelisks in those locations, so they probably haven't been built yet......"

"No, it's built."

Rossi told the two of them what he had just seen from clairvoyance.

"The third floor of the middle space? We've seen it, but there's no obelisk there, huh? "The view is a bit bewildered.

"Huh? Isn't it blocked all the time? What do you guys think? ”

"I made a long periscope out of cardboard and mirrors, and then I looked through the gap in the railing."

"It's amazing, it's worthy of being an equipment producer."

Hearing this, Erin immediately raised her hand to compare three sixes to him, and then turned her head and asked, "Sissy, did you say that obelisk, could it have come out after the shock just now?" ”

"It's possible."

"Do you know what it's for?"

"Hmm...... Part of some kind of ritual magic? What are the necessary conditions for the formation of a place of resentment? Tools for crafting the core of resentment......"

Making a few guesses casually, Rosie shook his head, "I've only read books related to Defence Against the Dark Arts, and I don't know much about in-depth research on the dark arts. ”

After a pause, she smiled lightly: "But although I don't know what it does, I have some understanding of what to do with this kind of thing." ”

"How?"

"Destroy it."

Rosie continued, "Although this kind of thing, once built, is immune to physical and most magical damage, it can be easily destroyed by attacking it with the same kind of magic as the elemental it contains. ”

"Then how should this obelisk that they encountered, how to destroy it? We shouted to tell them? ”

"Don't worry, I'll go up first and ask Aba to delete Grace's friend."

With that, in the stunned eyes of Erin and Jingjing, Rossi lunged forward, and turned into a pure white snow rabbit and scurried up the stairwell.

……

Just as Jiang Jing and Ah Bai were searching the dormitory that was destined to find no clues, they suddenly heard a slight noise from the direction of the stairs.

When I turned my head to look, I saw a snow-white rabbit suddenly stand up, and in an instant it changed into Rossi's appearance.

"What, what's the situation?" The two were stunned.

"Abbey, delete Grace's friend!" Rosie said as she walked over to the two of them.

"Huh? Why? Ah Bai looked confused, and looked reluctant.

Still ask why? You really don't have a long heart at all!

"Delete her! I'll tell you why. ”

Seeing her serious expression, Ah Bai hesitated for two seconds, but still chose to delete her friend:

"I deleted it, what's wrong with her? What's wrong? ”

Hearing this, Rosie casually kicked Grace out of the group, and then quickly told the story of the scenery.

"Huh? What kind of person is she? ”

Ah Bai said in surprise, "I thought she just had a little tea......

???

Hearing the description of "tea" from his mouth, Rosie and Jiang Jing were stunned.

"No, what do you mean? Do you know that she still wants to pull her into the team? ”

"Isn't there a hidden mission?"

Ah Bai shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Rosie with a shiny eye, "Besides, didn't you notice that when Grace talked to me, Erin acted like she was jealous, does this mean that she ...... to me?"

Perhaps a little excited, his voice became louder and louder, and his voice swayed in the silent corridor.

“…… Ahba! What nonsense are you talking about?!! ”

Erin's somewhat angry voice came up from downstairs, "What kind of ghost vinegar did I eat!" ”

。。。

"Ask for your own blessings, Abai."

Seeing his slightly meaningful expression freeze on his face, Rosie and Jiang Jing tapped him on the shoulder in amusement, and then turned and walked towards the obelisk.

“…… This is an Earth Elemental Obelisk, which can be destroyed with a spell containing Earth Element. ”

As he spoke, Rosie drew his wand and lit it.

"Blast Rumble!"

As the obelisk shattered, the entire building began to shake violently, and the bathroom blocking the stairs sank into the wall with a shaking.

In the next second, when the building stopped shaking, the dormitory doors on both sides opened on their own.

One by one, the resentful spirits suspended on the ground floated out laughing and rushed towards everyone.

"Don't let them come close! With the ultimate flash! ”

Rosie shouted a reminder to Erin downstairs as she raised her wand to the Wraith.

"Ultimate Flash!"

Bright white light burst out, and before the resentful spirits who rushed to the front had time to react, their bodies instantly dissolved in the light.

"Ultimate Flash!"

At the same time as Irene's voice came from downstairs, the sound of the scenery also came up:

"Sister, an obelisk has also appeared downstairs!"
