When Lin En came out of the Pentagon again, it was already dark and windy.
He had dealt with General Ailon, and his memory of the girl Clara was wiped out. And now Clara was like a kite with a broken string, still flying freely in the sky, but could never fall back to the ground.
In addition, he also obtained some additional information about Clara, which gave him some coping strategies.
"The whirlwind swept away."
Lynn cast a cleansing spell on her neck and shirt collar, where the lip marks were blatantly visible.
After coming out of General Ailon's office, he was dragged into the room by the female clerk Catherine and forced to stay there.
"Next time you pretend to be someone else, investigate more carefully!"
Lin En criticized himself in his heart, used the Apparition to move in the spring breeze, and disappeared into the night.
When the work is done, I will leave, hiding my body and name.
…
The next morning.
Lynn woke up from a strange dream, propped up his hands, stretched his back, and yawned.
After he got up with difficulty and washed up, he went to the attic as usual to check the state of the truth serum in the crucible and found that it was emitting light green bubbles, which seemed to be approaching the end of the entire brewing cycle.
He was very satisfied with the result, so he changed his clothes and went straight to the 9th subway station.
Today he wanted to try his luck here and see if he could get some ideas to deal with Clara.
Soon, he arrived at the Room of Requirement and entered the familiar storage room.
The Vanishing Cabinet was still lying there quietly, with chains wrapped around it. The chains did not move at all, and it looked exactly the same as when Lin En tied it up last time.
Lynn cut the chain and opened the cabinet again.
It's completely empty inside.
It seems that since that exchange, the person behind the Vanishing Cabinet has never opened it again.
I need your help.
Lynn folded the piece of paper with these words on it into a frog, took out his wand and cast a speaking spell on it, intending to try a straight ball.
Last time he had analyzed that the person behind the closet was most likely a decent person, so maybe this would work.
The origami frog soon began to twitch, and finally kicked its legs and jumped from Lynn's palm into the disappearing cabinet.
Then it made an unpleasant noise, like a loose wooden door pressing against its frame.
"Quack, I need your help."
"Quack, I need your help."
“Bang!”
Lynn closed the door, and the sound of the paper frog quickly became dull and then disappeared.
It should have gone to another world, and if Lynn's last guess was true, it would soon attract the attention of the person behind the cabinet.
Sure enough, not long after, a noise was heard from the cabinet.
No, it was a very manic noise.
It seemed like something was running rampant in the closet, desperately trying to get out.
Lin En held his breath. He had a bad feeling—the current cabinet was not capable of teleporting living things, so what was causing this noise
Lynn gripped his wand tightly, held his breath, and stepped forward quietly.
The things in the cabinet seemed to be getting more and more crazy, and they even made the cabinet shake.
Lynn hesitated for a long time and finally decided to open the door.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he just opened a crack, a thin red sheet quickly slipped out from inside.
It appeared to be an envelope, tightly bound with a yellow silk band, and the tongue was sealed with a wax seal.
The wax seal seemed to be an emblem, and the pattern on it was very exaggerated.
When Lin En wanted to take another look, the envelope suddenly accelerated and flew around him several times, as if confirming his identity from head to toe.
Finally, the envelope flew back to Lin En's eyes. After a shake of his body, the yellow strap broke into pieces and fell off. Then he saw that the wax seal part had turned into a mouth.
Lynn seemed to know what it was, and he quickly covered his ears.
The envelope took a deep breath through the wax mouth, making the entire envelope bloated abnormally, and then began to roar at Lynn like a bombardment.
"Damn it! You almost got me fined by the clerks of the Department of Magical Supervision!"
The voice was a sharp female voice, which reminded people of a mother who had lost control of her temper and a woman who was scolding her husband.
After saying that, the letter suddenly spit out a long tongue, sprayed saliva on Lin En's face, and then exploded with a bang, turning into confetti.
Lynn, on the other hand, was bewildered.
The other party sent a screaming letter
What hatred or grudge
Also, there's a woman behind the Vanishing Cabinet
Why does she sound so much like Mrs. Wesley
A corresponding image emerged in Lynn's mind.
But why did she collect the Vanishing Cabinet
Lynn was puzzled.
Sorry, I thought you refused to communicate with me.
He wrote another note and put it in.
Soon, he received a reply from the other party.
Ahaha, it seems we are getting along.
It was still a beautiful quill-pen cursive handwriting, but it didn't look like it was written by a woman.
This made Lynn begin to wonder.
Who is the person behind the cabinet
First of all, through these two experiences, it can be seen that this person has indeed been guarding next to the disappearing cabinet, otherwise he would not be able to communicate with himself in real time.
Secondly, he said that the staff from the Magic Supervisory Department almost wanted to fine him just now. That must be because the paper frog he sent over attracted the attention of the staff from the Supervisory Department. In other words, the place where he was was also a place that the Supervisory Department often paid attention to.
Finally, the sound of the screaming letter made it hard for him not to think of Mrs. Wesley.
Based on the above three points, the image of Arthur Weiss emerged in Lynn's mind.
He is Ron's father, Harry's father-in-law, Mrs. Weasley's husband, Hermione's father-in-law, and the Director of the Illegal Use of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic.
It seems reasonable that he collects Vanishing Cabinets.
Are you from the Ministry of Magic? Lynn decided to test it out a little bit.
No, oh, there are already enough people from the Ministry of Magic around me, so many that it's suffocating.
It seems that the other person is in a good mood today and obviously talks more than last time. I didn't expect that the other person would deny my previous guess right away.
Lynn then wrote:
Strange, how did you get this cabinet
Then I received:
Maybe I should ask you, how did you find it and fix it
It's in my storage room, lying there quietly. Lin En said.
After this message was sent, there was a long silence on the other end, and no new notes were sent.
About ten minutes later.
A new note appeared in the cabinet, with a few words written hastily on it:
Really? But someone told me that he was burned down. Can you give me the details
