Chapter 105: Slaughtering the Yin Corpse, Werewolf Professor Lupin!
The plan to go to the cave to retrieve Regulus's body was quickly passed, after all, Sirius was a man of action, and Kreacher was eager to raise his hands and feet to support him.
Harley also really wanted to explore the cave, and she had enough strength to protect it, so she naturally wouldn't object to the godfather's actions.
Hermione wanted to dissuade them from being cautious and seek Professor Lupin's help, but Professor Lupin acquiesced to Hallie's decision.
In Professor Lupin's mind, Phineas was the most obnoxious Headmaster in Hogwarts history, but his insight and strength were among the best among the strongest wizards of the era.
The portrait now with all the memories and thinking abilities of Phineas himself did not refute the plan, and he could not have joked about the last owner of the Black family's surname.
Therefore, Professor Lupin also made a judgment based on this, there is a certain danger there, but it is within the scope of bearing, at least through Kreacher to leave a way out.
Of course, Phineas did think it was safe, but he didn't rely on a retreat, but on Harry's presence.
Phineas knew very well that as long as Harry Potter used the magic of that blue aura once, these dark magic creatures would have to rest.
Not to mention the magic that Voldemort personally arranged, Voldemort himself stopped cooking, or was he smashed three times by Harley, how old is the magic he arranged?
Phineas, who had been in the principal's office for so long and had learned a great deal of information, felt that he was completely unfazed, and could even have a cup of tea with Mrs. Black.
Instead of worrying about Sirius's safety, he might as well be concerned about the safety of those Yin Corpses as a member of the Society for the Protection of Yin Corpses.
So after Harry's simple preparations, the three of them, led by Kreacher, went directly to Voldemort's cave.
……
Led by Kreacher, the three of them went directly to the island in the middle of the cave.
It is a huge natural cave, and the island is at least seventy meters away from the top of the cave.
The island is about the size of the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, with a flat black stone slab in the center and a stone basin above it.
The stone basin is engraved with various symbols, and the base connected to the stone basin and the stone slab also has a large number of patterns, and the smooth and flat black stone slab exudes a strange magic.
The stone basin was filled with a pot of emerald green potions, full of curses and malice.
If some people with particularly high spirituality, such as the mid-level Extraordinary of the Destiny Path, then they will be aroused the most painful thoughts just by approaching this potion of potions.
Surrounding the island is a black lake, which is so wide that you can't see the other side at all.
Professor Lupin and Sirius lit their wands, but the light didn't go far.
The darkness here is magically blessed, denser and thicker than normal darkness, and even Harry's night vision is slightly hindered.
"This is where Voldemort used to keep the Horcruxes?" Sirius involuntarily held his breath and asked in a very soft voice,
"Those damn corpses are just below this lake?"
Professor Lupin nodded silently, still looking around warily.
"Master Sirius, what should we do?" Kreacher lowered his voice and asked respectfully.
By the time Sirius decided to come and retrieve Regulus's body, Kreacher had already changed his attitude towards Sirius, or at least he was no longer so hostile.
Sirius thought for a moment, scratched at his hair vigorously, and then looked at Professor Lupin for help.
Professor Lupin rolled his eyes at the actions of his old friend: Can't you even see who to listen to here?
Then, Professor Lupin looked at Hallie neatly, "Hallie, what should we do?" ”
Hallie walked to the edge of the lake and looked down at the water.
The island has probably been renovated, and the lake at the edge is still relatively shallow, but it soon becomes very deep and impossible to see.
Through the lake, Harley could clearly see a corpse facing the water, floating slowly and silently.
The lake was so large that Harley realized after a simple estimate that even if she borrowed the power of the mythical creature, she would not be able to freeze it at all.
Maybe after you recover to Sequence 4, you will be able to freeze such a huge lake directly.
"Bring them up," Harley decided, "I'll freeze all the corpses that come ashore, and we'll be able to sort them out when the time comes." ”
"Wouldn't that be a little too risky?" Professor Lupin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Remus." Harley shook her head, "I've read about the Yin Corpses in the books, so I have a general idea of their strength. ”
Of course, I've killed a few living corpses, and even killed two more powerful souls in the same sequence, and almost killed a puppet.
Hallie silently added in her heart, cold air surging in her hands.
Seeing that Hallie was so confident, Professor Lupin nodded as well.
Anyway, there was Kreacher here, and there was a way out, so he wasn't so worried.
After Harry's judgment was made, the anxious Sirius immediately wanted to draw his wand and blow up the lake to lure the corpse ashore.
But Hallie waved his hand to stop him.
"Godfather, even if you use an explosion spell, how many Yin corpses can you attract with the noise?" Hallie looked at Sirius with a slightly loving gaze,
"There are so many Yin Corpses in this large lake, how many explosive spells do you need to use to attract them all?"
"It's too inefficient."
"So what do we do?" Sirius asked, after a brief thought, realizing that his actions were indeed inconsiderate.
"Just take this potion with the stone basin." Harley stroked the slate and whispered, finding a high-sounding reason for her behavior,
"These Yin Corpses are used to protect the Horcruxes, and if the Horcruxes disappear, they will definitely go ashore one after another."
As he spoke, the cold began to spread, slowly enveloping the entire stone slab and the stone basin on it.
The bottom of the slab is connected to the island, but the island itself has no magic attached.
So Harley manipulated the cutting spell slightly downward, cutting out part of the island's skin and freezing it with ice.
Sirius and Professor Lupin watched in amazement as Harley did her skillful maneuvering to the point where she had sealed Voldemort's belongings and placed them in a specially vacated pocket in less than three minutes.
The black lake exploded in an instant, and countless white corpses sprang up from the pitch-black lake, and then floated on the water, pushing towards the island under the impetus of inexplicable force.
Soon, the first group of Yin Corpses caught the edge of the island and quickly climbed up.
They stared stiffly forward with their sunken, visionless eyes at the place where the stone slab was placed in the center of the island.
Sirius and Professor Lupin's wand tips burst into flames, but neither of them actively controlled the flames to attack the Yin Corps, so as not to injure Regulus's body.
The two of them simply levitated the flames in mid-air and prepared various control spells such as the Bondage Charm.
Kreacher raised his hands, his magic condensing at his fingertips.
They don't need to be the main force, though, after all, Hallie has already made a move.
Harley took a step forward, her toes tapping lightly, and a circle of blue ripples spread instantly.
Although winter has long passed, the temperature in the already cold cave has dropped a few points out of thin air.
The first group of corpses that landed on the island turned directly into ice and were frozen in place.
"Godfather, Uncle Remus, Kreacher, check to see if there is any Regulus in here?"
Without looking back, Harley asked, "If not, I'll destroy them." ”
Sirius and Kreacher looked around the ice statue as fast as they could, and then replied loudly:
"No, ever!"
"Miss Potter, there is no Young Master Regulus!"
Professor Lupin did not participate in this move, but looked around vigilantly in case any fish slipped through the net.
Hearing this, Harley's toes were lightly dripping again, and black flames rose out of thin air in the distance, and those Yin corpses that were frozen in cold instantly turned into torches, and soon turned into ashes.
Harley didn't care about the unlucky ones who didn't even have their bodies left, after all, judging by the clothes of the corpses, they were probably Muggles in their lifetimes.
According to Voldemort's character, he probably directly captured a village and soaked them under the lake.
And the constant appearance of the old man and the child's corpse also confirmed Harry's suspicions.
For this kind of neat family situation, Harley can't find a family for them and let them return to their roots.
Being able to make them completely dead and their bodies no longer be used is already the greatest mercy of the Ageless Witch.
Harley used ice again and again, quickly freezing the corpses that crawled up.
Sirius, however, had never found anything, and they were starting to get a little agitated.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded twenty feet away from the water, and two behemoths sprang out from the bottom.
They are a dozen feet tall and are wearing the same animal skin clothes they wore before they died.
It's a giant corpse.
Harley frowned slightly, she didn't expect Voldemort to leave this kind of guard who had reached the fifth level of the sequence here.
This is probably the strongest guard here, and it can't be solved quickly.
You know, giants have a high resistance to magic.
Although Harley was confident that she would be able to deal with a giant in two minutes, she didn't think that she could just freeze it like an ordinary corpse.
And if you take the giant yin corpse seriously, then the ordinary yin corpses around you will lose control again.
Harley sighed helplessly and held out her right hand.
Previously, she had quietly formulated the rules, using the "Law of All Laws" and the ability of "Judgment" to weaken the basic physical qualities of the Yin corpses within the island.
Now it seems that she will have to enact more laws to restrain those two behemoths.
Before Harley could activate her gloves, a wolf howl suddenly came from behind her.
Harley subconsciously raised her hand, and the magic mirror flew out of the bag into the air, reflecting the scene behind Harley.
The image in the mirror startled Hallie as Professor Lupin's head was elongated and his body was getting longer.
His shoulders were arched, gray hair grew on his face and hands, and his fingers had turned into sharp claws.
Professor Lupin has become werewolf!
But this is not normal. Not to mention that Professor Lupin just passed the full moon a few days ago and turned into a werewolf, so the current date is not right.
You know, it's afternoon! It's not night yet, and the moon hasn't risen yet!
The hair that was scattered behind Harley instantly lifted slightly, and there was no wind to automate.
If Professor Lupin had lost his mind and attacked Harley or Sirius, Harley could have taken it under control at any time.
Sirius and Kreacher took a step back at the same time.
They didn't have time to think about why Professor Lupin was werewolf, and they just subconsciously pointed their wands and fingers at Professor Lupin.
"Faint!"
"All Petrochemical (Silent) (House-Elf System)!"
Two rays of light flashed instantly, but Professor Lupin rushed forward, dodging the spell in an instant.
Professor Lupin didn't rush in the direction of any of Hallie, Sirius, or Kreacher, but at the ordinary Yin Corps.
Hallie's hand movements didn't slow down, but she just dedicated some of her energy to observe Professor Lupin.
After turning into a werewolf, Professor Lupin's speed and strength increased significantly, but he seemed to have forgotten how to use magic.
He just used his fists and claws to slap the Yin corpses that climbed ashore one by one, and hit them directly back into the water.
This seems to be more efficient, but it is not as good as the effect of directly binding the yin corpse.
Moreover, Professor Lupin's mastery of strength is not very good, giving people the feeling that he suddenly gains strength, but he will not use it.
Although this time Harley did not make a prophecy to Professor Trilanny, she felt the intervention of an outside force.
But Harley still had a gut feeling that a great being had made a move.
After all, the smell of the Rose School emanating from Professor Lupin can't be faked, and Hallie and Professor Lupin have been together for so long, and they have never felt this kind of atmosphere.
And the sudden explosion of Professor Lupin's power is also extremely unreasonable.
"It seems that after returning to Sequence 4, I must go to the Spirit Realm." Harley thought to herself.
She had a hunch that she would get the answer there.
But that's not the point right now, and the unknown existence hasn't shown any malice for the time being, so it's better to deal with these Yin Corpses first.

(Thanks to the "Nine-Tailed Yanhu" and "1_1_4_7" two bigwigs for their tips!) )
(PS. In Part 6, when Harry uses the Flying Charm to summon the Horcrux directly, a big white creature pierces the lake 20 feet from the shore.)
Considering Harry's size, and the fact that people can be seen from a distance and in the dark will be smaller and more blurry, it is very likely that Harry will think that it is the giant corpse. )
