One day, it was getting dark.
The sun has already sunk into the mountains to the west, and the moon is hanging slantingly in the sky quietly. A faint silver glow spread around Hogwarts Castle like mercury pouring down the ground.
Maka had just chatted with Joshua for a while in the school hospital, and now she was flying past the main entrance of the castle, crossing the grass in the vestibule, and rushing towards the main entrance of the school.
He was going to the United States to find the dark wizard who had created a large number of Obscurials, and try to get some new clues from him.
However, not long after he left, a figure suddenly appeared in the ward of the school hospital. I saw the man striding to a hospital bed surrounded by curtains, and barged in with a casual move.
The girl lying on the hospital bed was still pale and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was still fighting an unusual battle with the spider venom in her body. She was still unaware of the people around her.
The man just lowered his eyes and glanced, and then glanced out of the window on one side, looking quite cautious.
After he confirmed that it was correct, he took out a potion bottle from the inner pocket of his robe. With one hand, he slightly raised the girl's head, and with the other hand, he roughly drank the potion in the bottle. Pour into the half-open and half-closed mouth. He ignored some of the medicine flowing down the corner of his mouth and soaking the pillow behind the girl's head.
After he drank the entire bottle of magic potion, he immediately let go and stood aside.
"Crunch—"
A slight spring sound suddenly sounded. In this ward where you could hear a pin drop, it was as clear as midnight thunder.
The man immediately opened the curtain and walked out. He looked around the ward, only to find a young man lying in the corner.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and then walked over there quickly.
"Uh..." "I forgot all about it."
The man's spellcasting level was obviously extraordinary, and a forgetting curse came out quickly, at an astonishing speed. Joshua, who was in bed, couldn't even react, he was already in a daze.
The other party waved his hand again, knocking Joshua out easily, and then neatly put away the wand.
But at this moment, there was another movement under a certain bed, which made the man's heart tremble slightly. But before he could go over to check, the hospital bed was suddenly arched up by something unknown.
"Again that Acromantula?" The man's expression suddenly changed, and then he quickly closed his eyes, but he pulled out the wand he had already put away again, "The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
An invisible sharp blade shot straight out from the tip of his staff and flew through the air towards the location in his memory, obviously wanting to strike first. Unexpectedly, the big spider is not small in size, but its movements are extremely flexible, and the perception of danger is also a talent that spiders rely on to survive.
With just one sudden leap, the spider, which was as big as two or three hospital beds, dodged away in an instant and pounced straight in the direction it jumped.
wrong! That Acromantula pounced on someone other than yourself!
It was at this moment, as if to prove where the greatest danger came from, that the bed that was originally surrounded by curtains suddenly blew away, and a huge black mist encircled the sparks and rushed straight towards it. Here comes the Acromantula.
At this moment, the alienated Acromantula left behind by Maka activated its petrification ability to the extreme, and the black mist in mid-air turned gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But even so, the flying momentum of the two would not be slowed down by half. In the blink of an eye, the black mist collided with the Acromantula.
If the space in this ward had been larger, and if the magic blade had not forced the Acromantula to dodge, perhaps the outcome would have been different. But the fact is that the huge black mist completely enveloped the Acromantula, and it actually felt like it was going to be completely swallowed up.
Can the black mist transformed by the Obscurus swallow other creatures? No, they will only plunder the magic power and life from living creatures, but they have no interest in the physical body.
Not long after, a dry and dusty spider corpse fell on the floor of the ward with its belly up, no longer alive.
"Are you awake?" The figure who was standing aside quietly watching all this didn't speak until now, "Can you still change back to human form? Your form is not suitable for walking around the school."
Before he finished speaking, the black mist hanging in the air suddenly rotated and shrank, and silently turned into a girl. The girl's face was still pale and her lips were slightly dry, as if she had not fully recovered.
The man probably knew that he wouldn't hear any answer, so he didn't pay attention at all, but scanned the surroundings again. After the fight just now, although there was no big noise, the scene was a mess.
He thought for a moment, glanced at the girl again, and then turned to Joshua who was lying in the corner. After he pointed the wand at Joshua half-stretched and whispered a few words in his mouth, he straightened up.
"Is it okay? Let's go then!"
Hearing the man's indifferent words, the girl did not show any expression, but nodded lightly. When the man walked to the door of the ward first, the girl quietly followed him and walked out of the room with him.
But not long after they left here, another figure disappeared in an instant, and no one noticed it.
…
On the other side, the girl followed the man as he walked quickly through the dark castle corridor. They turned left and right in a familiar manner, and soon climbed to the top of the main castle. After passing the door of the Gryffindor common room, he continued forward, turned two corners again, and stood in front of an empty stone wall.
The two paused for a moment in this corridor, and then walked back and forth three times. A door immediately appeared on the originally blank wall.
"You go in and do your work. I'll patrol around here and wait until I come back to pick you up," the man said coldly, "Don't act on your own, do you understand?"
"I know." The girl heard this and said without raising her head, "Now that we have reached this point, I will not let this mission fail..."
"It's good to know."
Before he finished speaking, the man simply turned around and walked away, leaving the road he came from. There are only two corridors leading here. As long as he watches carefully, no one will break their covert operation.
Especially now that Dumbledore is dead and McClane has just left.
The girl who stood there did not look back. She held the door handle with one hand and stood expressionless. After being stunned for a while, she opened the door gently with a click.
As the door opened slightly, a burst of bright golden light immediately came out, as if there were a large number of gold and silver treasures hidden inside, so bright that no one could look directly at it.
The girl also narrowed her eyes, but she did not hesitate and walked in directly. When the door closed again, the golden light gathered together, returning the darkness of the night to the corridor outside the door again.
Until the door was closed again, the entire door suddenly merged silently into the stone wall and disappeared completely.
As soon as she entered the room, the girl did not move around randomly, but squinted her eyes for a while to adapt to the light in the room. After she could see normally, she turned her face and looked at a corner of the room.
It's strange to say that if you want to get to this room, you have to walk back and forth in the corridor at the door three times, and you still have to think wholeheartedly that you need to find a bathroom to relieve yourself.
If it hadn't been for the male wizard as an internal agent, even if she had touched the exact location of this room, it would still be impossible to enter.
By the way, the room is currently filled with all kinds of chamber pots, large and small. Most of these strangely shaped and exquisite chamber pots are different, but they all have one thing in common - they are all pure gold!
It is really hard to imagine which wizard hid so many chamber pots here. He obviously has a unique collecting hobby.
The girl's mission target this time is to hide in this strange room with chamber pots everywhere, accompanied by the unique splendor. At this time, her eyes only stayed on the numerous chamber pots for a short while, and then she began to search the room carefully.
Generally speaking, the more ordinary a place is, the more suitable it is for hiding things. However, when a dazzling object occupies the entire field of vision, it is quite laborious to find something.
In particular, this girl cannot use the magic spells of wizards normally.
"Miss Schoen, there's no need to look for you."
Just as the girl was walking back and forth among the large pile of chamber pots, a voice rang out in the room without warning and reached her ears clearly.
The girl immediately paused, then slowly turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
There, a young man stood calmly leaning on a strange long staff, and around him, hundreds of blue magic words continued to rotate and surround, forming a mysterious halo.
"Ahem..." The young man coughed. Although it couldn't be seen on his face, there was a faint tiredness in his deep eyes, "Sorry, I don't have much time... Ahem... I won't talk more..."
Before he finished speaking, the girl's whole body suddenly shook, and a large amount of black mist erupted from her body.
In just a blink of an eye, she transformed into a huge ball of black mist, rushing towards this direction with a fierce momentum. Wherever it passed, countless golden chamber pots were knocked away, and for a while there was a jingling sound in the room.
But the young man didn't seem to pay much attention at all. He covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed lightly, but he quickly waved the long stick with his right hand, and a huge black skeleton silhouette rose up from in front of the stick at a terrifying speed.
