Chapter 314
Lupin was very busy during this time.
It's the Muggle world.
His detective agency was supposed to close.
After all, he has returned to normal and can already return to the wizarding world.
Not to mention that he is in love with his young girlfriend Tonks, and plans to get married in the next two years.
But I didn't expect it, no!
Business here has skyrocketed!
Originally, one single job in three days was too much, but during this time, fifteen orders a day!
Originally, he didn't want to take it, after all, it wasn't meant to make money.
However, most of these surveys turned out to be a bit odd!
More than half of the corpses alone are investigated!
For example, this job I received in the morning - the client's father died last night, and he was not in good health in his seventies, and he left silently on the sofa while watching TV at night. It's also blessed.
However, something terrible happened.
The corpse that was lying in the coffin is gone!
It took a busy morning for Lupin and his assistant to find the body in the woods a few kilometers away.
Moreover, this corpse was brought by itself overnight!
That's right, Ryan carried out such an undead scourge in Paris, although it didn't succeed, but I don't know which string disturbed the world's operation, and now the world of the living and the dead is out of balance.
After death, many souls cannot automatically return to the underworld and will remain in the world.
These newly dead souls are full of doubts, many of them do not know that they are dead, some will completely dissipate and disappear due to environmental problems, and some will turn into evil things for various reasons.
There are also souls that have never left the body, and they will control the corpse and run away~
This phenomenon is the most serious in Paris, and it is said that there are people who run hundreds of kilometers directly by train!
In the past two weeks, it has spread to neighboring countries, and the century-old good neighbor naturally cannot be pulled down.
All the cemeteries in London are now patrolled by a team of seven or eight people.
If the buried person doesn't climb out honestly, he will be knocked down with a shovel and tied up and cremated directly.
In short, the whole Muggle world is already numb.
Governments are now losing their hair in frustration – how do they explain this to the public?
Find an expert to talk about geomagnetic changes, corpse spasms caused by static electricity?
What expert is talking nonsense with his eyes open so that he is not afraid of being beaten to death?
And the customers who found Lupin here are all with some strength and connections.
In addition to the dishonesty of the dead, there are some other strange events.
The most common thing is the supernatural events that occur because of certain items.
Haunted houses are one of a kind.
Many old houses and manors in London are starting to have strange things.
In the middle of the night, someone was talking, coughing, there was the clanging sound of cutlery and knives and forks colliding, and the next day I found that the portrait had moved its position or something.
Although it's all small things, and there are no bad big things, this kind of magic phenomenon that appears because of the gradual concentration of magic power is also a big problem.
And the accumulation of magic power will give birth to some magical creatures, or attract some magical creatures.
Now the price of old houses in London is very serious, and the big landowners in those suburbs are buying houses. Falling house prices are not immune!!
And some because of antiques.
Great Britain, once the sun never set, the whole world plundered.
There are so many good things here, all over the world.
And these old things have problems now.
What kind of soul mirrors, soul bottles, human skin drums, Buddha heads, statues, ancient paintings, etc.
In short, during this time, Lupin almost became an exorcism detective. The business has been greatly expanded, but it has attracted more people to ask him for help, and it is more and more difficult to leave.
It felt like the clear lines between the wizarding world and Muggle society were blurring.
And just today, Lupin took on a big job.
Lupin even contacted Ted, who came over to see him as soon as he heard the letter.
Come and take a look - I'm Cao, Ron~
It felt quite like a yacht being touched porcelain, and when I went down, I saw that it was the tide sea spirit Yuan Hua.
The young man in front of him looked quite like Ron, who was in his twenties.
It's also red-haired, single-eyelid, and looks a little melon, but it's very down-and-out.
Ted felt that if Ron didn't mix well, he would probably look like this in his twenties.
The young man's name was Walter, and he had come to him by accident when he overheard someone say Lupin's name.
And stalking!
What's more, he looks a lot like Ron, and he turns out to be red-haired too.
So Lupin came to Ted to see what was going on.
But after listening to his story, both Ted and Lupin felt that it was not easy.
It turned out that Walter had a twin sister, but she fell ill and died when she was ten years old.
At that time, Walter saw his sister's soul being sucked into a door behind a bush......
Originally, he thought that he was hallucinating at that time, but there were too many strange things during this time.
Plus so many years of lingering, so he pondered everywhere.
Eventually, a down-and-out homeless man from Eastern Europe got a potion called "Golden Water", drank it, and saw a door, and met his ten-year-old sister in a dead world full of dead wood.
But soon he woke up, and he didn't believe it was a dream. So I continued my investigation and found an old house.
There was an old building about 300 years ago, and it is said that there was a shrine maiden who was hanged and her body disappeared......
He stayed there for one night and encountered strange things.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and ran out to meet a street painter who saw himself and the house in her paintings.
Genara said she was able to use her paintings to predict what was going to happen...... She said I'd be killed by the witch, but there was a chance to get a detective ......" Walter looked at Lupin.
Ted looked at Lupin, "Let's go see it." If you really have a gift for prophecy, it's a good thing to bring it back. ”
The trio soon found the female painter Jinara, a street performer, curly-haired.
She was a little excited to see Ted and the others, as if she knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was.
Ted's identification, level 3 prophecy.
Sure enough, talented!
You can try to bring it back to the wizarding world and let Professor Trelawney cultivate it.
As for this Walter...... I'd like to see what kind of shrine maiden.
……
A wild black witch with no magical education migrates to the suburbs of London to study the art of immortality, or resurrection. While stealing the body, he was found hanged by the villagers.
Her body was stolen by her demonic pet, a human-faced rat, and sealed in the attic of the old house.
Since then, the soul has been kept in this old house.
It's no wonder that there is no demolition team here, otherwise it would be three hundred years, and this house can survive fifty years!
Forklifts bulldoze you in the middle of the night!
And the special circumstances of Walter and his sister make them the key to unlocking the Hell.
Limbo is a place where mortals live after death, and in the original Catholic doctrine it refers to the area between heaven and hell, where the souls who have not been condemned but are not blessed to live in heaven with God stay.
It can be regarded as the gap between the human world and the underworld, a transit station for the soul.
But some special souls are easy to get stuck here.
Ghosts like the wizarding world, like this wild witch who seals her soul into the house, are all special cases.
And this witch has a whimsical idea to use sacrificial rituals to exchange the death of others for her own resurrection.
According to her research, there are many spaces in this world, and the human world is only one of them. And if you want to go to other spaces, you need some special "keys"!
That black witch is not a problem, [Earthbound Evil Spirit: Black Tree Witch Mason], only level 8.
If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be taken care of. But in front of Lupin and Ted, that's little Karami.
In less than a minute, Ted cracked the simple black magic protection, found her body, and cremated it directly.
Oh, and her dead human-faced rat.
This kind of magical pet transformed by black magic, with high IQ, able to speak, and even able to use magic is quite creative.
Ted decided to transform the little mouse brother, he had to learn to speak, right? It can't even be the pet of a wild witch!
And what Ted and Lupin really care about is the Soul Prison.
Using the witch's research materials and a ready-made twin key, Ted opened the door—a triangular frame made of vines that glowed inside.
Ted even ventured around, and sure enough, there were a lot of confused souls repeating some meaningless actions in it.
These people are not bad enough, they have no faith to guide them, and more importantly, they are confused or frightened when they die, so they can't continue to go on and stay here.
Ted brings back Walter's sister, a soul who has not yet been completely lost.
However, she could not stay in this world. That's definitely not a good choice.
Even Barty Jr., oh, now called Anderson, Ted intends to move on after getting his revenge.
Resurrection is such a thing, it is better not to touch.
In the Deathly Hallows, the second child resurrects his fiancée with a resurrection stone, and finally ends up committing suicide.
Although he couldn't resurrect his sister, seeing that his sister was finally freed and able to continue walking, Walter's heart knot was finally untied.
Ted patted the weeping Waterl, "Don't be sad. These things are not good for you. Go back and draw a pentagram on the ground with a brazier on it, burn sage, mugwort, hyssop, rosemary and a pinch of salt, and step over it to remove bad luck from you! ”
"Come on, we'll meet again." Ted saw that he was having a bit of a marriage with the curly-haired painter Genara.
And if the female painter herself wants to bring the magic world to contact magic, then the two will still have a chance to meet.
……
"Ted, there really is a Slim Prison in this world. So, hell and heaven must also exist, right? Lupin asked, confused.
Ted shook his head: "I don't know if there is heaven and hell. But I know that there must be a place for death to go to the underworld. ”
In the original book, there are many strange things hidden in the Department of Mysteries, even those that are too strange for wizards.
Among them is a door, known as the "Door Behind the Veil," which is the door to the kingdom of the dead.
It is said that when the curtain is lifted, you can hear whispers.
And Sirius was hit by Bella's gnawing melon, and the body fell into the door and could never be recovered.
