Hermione had figured it out, and she gradually became convinced that the master of zombies and the demon "Greedy" should really be Maka. And she suddenly realized that if Maka really wanted to hide her identity, they... including Luna and Delphi, probably wouldn't be able to detect it.
"...So that means Maka may be in a lot of trouble. He...maybe is reminding us in this way that he needs help!"
In the tent at Granger Camp, Hermione told everyone her deduction very seriously.
It must be said that they don't have enough time at the moment, so at least before returning to the UK, they have to figure out the situation they need to face next.
"Therefore," Hermione continued, "After we return to the other side, our first mission is not to go to London, but to divide a small team into searching for enemies in various towns and countryside along the coast. If I guess what happened just now If we are right, we must have the awareness to investigate and act on our own, and then maybe we can really help Maka who cannot 'open' to us in many places."
Even though the statement that "the master of living corpses is Maka" is actually debatable, how could Hermione let it go because she saw many possibilities
"It's definitely not wrong to investigate the intelligence first, and I agree with that." Lu Ping, who was not far away, suddenly said, "Just remember, don't rush into the explosion area... I already contacted the rear last night, No one yet knows who dropped the nuclear bomb, not even the Muggles nor the Federation."
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then said with a more serious expression:
"So, we have no way of knowing whether the same thing will happen again."
Hermione understood, and indeed everyone understood, that Lupine was worried about their upcoming trip to England. He knew that the past situation this time was unusual, and no one knew what it would turn out to be in the end - Maka, who was hard to distinguish between true and false, and the living zombie clan's cooperation, launching the most determined counterattack against the devil.
But now everyone knows that demons... are not that easy to kill!
…
Early next morning.
Hermione, who went to bed early and got up early, walked barefoot on the beach on the shore, with rustling sounds under her feet and waves rolling in the distance. Because there were no clouds to cover them, the stars in the sky were particularly shining. They blinked quietly, as if counting Hermione's footprints on the beach.
Suddenly, Hermione stopped for a moment, turned half sideways, and looked across the strait in the distance. Because this was the last darkness before dawn, the appearance in the distance was not clearly visible. Even the strange lead clouds that were gradually spreading left only an outline in the night sky, and more. The starless sky in the distance.
To be honest, this hazy sense of separation is not good. It makes people feel as if they are looking at another world - and it is obvious that Maka seems to be in that other world.
"Sooner or later I have to go back... I have to go back. When the time comes..."
Hermione muttered in her heart, as if she was trying to convince herself, but she was still a little confused after all.
"Miss Granger?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her, interrupting her thoughts. But she could tell just by the sound that it was Delphi who was coming.
"Good morning." Hermione turned around and said.
"Well, morning." Delphi responded casually, then looked towards the dark other side, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Today will definitely be very hard."
"I can't sleep," Hermione said frankly, "How can I sleep?"
This time Delphi didn't answer, just shook his head slightly. After a moment of silence, she turned around and said:
"It seems that Miss Lovegood is not among the people you arranged to go to London this time?"
"I know what you want to ask," Hermione pursed her lips and said, "It's just that since the things that need to be judged by her feelings have been judged, there is no need to let her take risks anymore, right? Although The Lord of the Living Corpses is probably Maka, but since he can't admit it, it means that at least in the UK and London, many things are not within his control... This trip to London may be more complicated than we imagined. It’s much more difficult and dangerous.”
Is there no other reason
This sentence flashed through Delphi's mind, but she did not ask any more questions. She just looked carefully at Hermione's back, who turned back to stare at the sea again, and then turned her sights to the distant east.
There, a touch of fish belly white has quietly opened the gauze curtain of the night, announcing the arrival of a new day.
Unfortunately…
After looking up at the ray of light for a moment, Delphi returned his gaze to the leaden gray clouds that had gradually become clearer.
"It won't be long before you can't see the sunrise or sunset here." She muttered, thought again, and then suddenly said, "Miss Granger, during this time, the people on the north coast of France have been Most of the Muggles have evacuated. But it seems that they just retreated from the north to the south and crowded together there, just to delay the coming gloomy life."
"I understand that," Hermione sighed, "but this kind of leaden clouds are not real clouds... Even though we now know that they are formed by the rising gray fog, we originally didn't know it. There's nothing we can do about the gray mist, and now that it's high in the sky, there's even less we can do."
"Hmm... Maybe we can go to Miss Hohenheim to discuss it again? I remember you seemed to have discussed this matter before."
"Alchemy...maybe there is a solution," Hermione nodded, but said regretfully, "However, Sarah's alchemy is actually a bit partial. She also said this herself. I can’t think of any solution.”
Of course Hermione also knew that the most important thing next was not actually the confrontation with the demons - at least until those demons really rushed out of Britain, the most important thing was still the weird lead cloud.
However, it is clearly a product related to the rules of the soul, and these wizards are often exposed to it, and even study and study it to try to master the rules of the soul. But after much thought, they just couldn't find a solution.
When the dark clouds really envelope the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, it will probably be too late.
"I think Safina is the one who is most likely to figure this out now... I will discuss it with her when she gets up later." Hermione thought about it and finally said this.
