[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

"What did you say you did? You went to a rally and your head bleeds." Shen Xingzhi threw the used cotton balls into the trash can, and then carefully bandaged the wound. "Tsk, those who didn't know thought you molested a woman from a good family and ended up being chased and beaten by her man." He handed the other party a bottle of potion, and the man took it silently and drank it, then leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.Shen Xingzhi sat down opposite, picked up his teacup and stared at the somewhat decadent man leisurely.He had just sent a beautiful girl home, and wanted to go in for a drink, but when he received the news from the old man, he had to leave the beauty and rush home.But seeing this guy's current appearance, Shen Xingzhi felt great.

"Hey, you don't really want to be Hui Deng Tuzi, do you?" After a while, Shen Xingzhi put down the exquisite teacup in his hand and asked lazily.

Cheng Hezhou sank half of his body into the chair, holding his forehead with his hands, exuding a dangerous aura from his whole body. "I went to find Lin Ci." Sensing his friend's surprised gaze, he let go of his hand and stared at the burning fireplace, "I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get the necklace, but something happened." He said I didn't see the other person's face clearly, but I felt that the person's eyes were extremely bright, like a hunter lurking in the dark night, and I can still feel the discomfort like a glow on my back.It doesn't matter, soon the witch will come to the door by herself.

However, he couldn't tell why he appeared in front of the other party at that time.As one of the participants in this attack, he just needs to make sure that task is completed.However, when he saw the girl being led by her companion through the bustling crowd, and then stopped alone and looked around like a little squirrel, he couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look at her.Even though there were noisy crowds around, he clearly felt that something exploded soundlessly the moment the girl turned to look at him, and then fell silent again.

He tried his best to push those warm eyes out of his mind.

"I still think it's something, you can just tell the girl no - just borrow it." Shen Xingzhi couldn't help laughing, "If coercion and bribery don't work, you can still use your beauty." After finishing speaking He felt the cold eyes of the other party fall on him, and he shut his mouth in time.

Cheng Hezhou took a sip of his tea, the warm water flowed through his throat, and his stomach felt a little better. "I don't think that Lin Ci girl would obediently hand over such a valuable thing to a stranger. Besides, we don't need to worry now, the necklace will be in our hands soon." His thumb slowly rubbed the armrest, Shen Xingzhi understood that the other party no longer wanted to continue the conversation, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "So what's going on?"

"Just wait and see." Shen Xingzhi originally thought that the other party would not answer, but the man spoke slowly, with a very firm tone.The warm fire was still burning, and the two people in the room were lost in thought.

When Jiang Lin arrived at the Auror Division, her eyes were full of busy wizards. There were countless letters passing through the stream of people passing by. Trek in the jungle.

After sending Zhang Qiling away, she arrived at the workplace early according to the time notified by the Auror.She recalled the eyes of several Aurors passing by at that time, which seemed a little strange.However, when she arrived at the command building, the heavy and tense atmosphere took away her attention. Now she needed to count the number of wizards killed and injured, as well as strengthen the defense and investigate the aftermath of the attack.Even a temporary patrol member like her was arrested as a coolie. Jiang Lin could already imagine the approximate impact of yesterday's incident.She sorted out the rotation records during the celebration and the basic information of the patrol members, and looked up at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand was exactly pointing at the number "1".When she came to the emergency management office, there were fewer staff members in the corridor than earlier, but the dull atmosphere remained undiminished.

"But the number of casualties in this attack is not many, you can't submit this report to the headquarters. This will create an atmosphere of terror in the entire Chencang area, and there may be even greater turmoil!" A slightly excited voice sounded.

"No matter how big it is, it won't be higher than the witch-phobia incident a hundred years ago - besides, I did this to make the old guys in the ministry more vigilant. Now that I have lived a stable life for a long time, I can't even control the small scenes like yesterday ——There are too many moths in this building." A young voice retorted, his tone calm and powerful, yet elegant.

The young man's voice fell, and the surroundings fell into a terrible silence.It seemed that what he said just now was some vicious spell, which made everyone tremble with fear.

The witch-phobia incident is a topic that the entire wizarding world avoids talking about. In that incident, because the Muggle government united with foreign troops to suppress civilians

The rebel army, and there were scavengers who hated wizards mixed in the army, which affected a village where wizards and Muggles were mixed. Hundreds of wizards were killed or injured, and even almost exposed the entire wizarding world.Even though the wizards have resumed communication with the outside world, due to the shadows of the past, everyone still has great resistance to the purgers.

The young voice continued: "Anyway, I will report the matter truthfully. As for how the headquarters handles it, it is beyond our control."

Jiang Lin was quite horrified when she heard the movement inside the door. She hesitated whether to knock on the door and go in now.Just when she raised her hand to knock on the door, the thick dark door opened without warning, and a young wizard walked out.

Cheng Hezhou stared at Jiang Lin who was about to knock on the door, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted him, as if he was not the one who made the shocking remarks just now.

Jiang Lin could only pretend to be calm in return, and only after the other party left did he gather up the documents in his hand.When she walked in, she found that there were three other wizards in the office, two of them were older, wearing elegant wizard robes, and the silver thread pattern wrapped around the neckline could be faintly seen.The two of them sat and stood, looking at Jiang Lin who suddenly appeared, with gloomy faces.And the third person was staring at her with raised eyebrows, and finally his eyes fell on the folder in her hand.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Wen said in a bad tone.

Seeing that he was being called, Jiang Lin walked over bravely and handed the document in his hand to the other party. "This is the duty record and the basic information of the personnel involved in the patrol. Please look over it, the captain."

The man took the documents away rudely and threw them on the desk. "Let's go first, and go to the rally with other team members to help in the afternoon."

"Yes." The girl nodded, and quickly walked out of the heavy atmosphere of the room. After closing the door, the burning discomfort disappeared.

After a busy day, the witch threw herself heavily on the bed. She rubbed the soft quilt, adjusted her posture, and sighed comfortably.

In the next few days, Jiang Lin and his teammates dealt with the aftermath.What surprised them was that the attack lasted for a short period of time, and there were very few death curses commonly used by the general purgers, so there were no deaths, but the number of wounded tortured by the curse increased greatly.And according to the data reported afterwards, it seems that several people have disappeared.This is only a preliminary investigation, and the detailed situation can only be analyzed based on further reports. After all, there are many and mixed people coming and going during the two-day rally.

It felt like a revenge demonstration.Jiang Lin and Si Changyan had discussed this issue, but Changyan didn't take it seriously, but Yao Hui somewhat agreed with her point of view. "Maybe this is a conspiracy by the purgers." However, their attention soon shifted to Jiang Lin's boyfriend, especially Chang Yan. The aggressive questioning made her feel that if she didn't tell the truth, the other party would directly Give her veritaserum, or greet her with a spell.Even my mother, who has always been eccentric, is quite curious about this topic, so she can only infer that she met her before she came to Chencang.

Jiang Lin suddenly realized that his mother and father had no chance to meet his future boyfriend, but it was fine if they didn't.

She felt like she was stepping on the tip of a knife, with hot coals under her feet, no matter where she stepped, it was useless.Standing there alone, she watched almost dully as her grandma was penetrated by a burst of green light, and her heart suddenly throbbed, and she let the fiery red flames wrap her sleeves.

The young girl was lying on the bed, her forehead was covered with sweat, her eyes rolled, and then woke up slowly.

At this time, a small owl flew in through the half-open window, and it landed on the table familiarly, looking at the witch who had just woken up with its small black eyes.

Jiang Lin recognized Maodou, her mother's owl, almost immediately. She sat up. Seeing that she was awake, Maodou jumped a few steps closer to her.Jiang Lin patted the little guy's head, took off the letters from its feet, and then gave it some owl food.She opened the letter, it turned out that her mother wanted to take advantage of tomorrow's rare vacation to go out with everyone to relax, and she asked herself to take Zhang Qiling with her.

Oh.

A sudden sense of powerlessness swept over her, and the girl drooped her shoulders wearily.She seems to have dug a terrible hole, and now she has to fill it back slowly with shovel by shovel.But she should also contact Akun—ah no, it should be Zhang Qiling now, after all, she still needs to find out about the invalidation of the Forgetting Curse.

She found out the address left by the other party last time, which was a house on the outskirts of the city, followed by a string of numbers, which seemed to be a phone number.

Jiang Lin tidied up. Seeing that it was still early, she was going to see Zhang Qiling in person, and by the way, put together a string of words from the two of them, so that they would not be able to continue the performance.Of course, she didn't want to admit that she was still a little curious about that iceberg man.

I don't know what he is doing now.The witch came to the attic, greeted Sister Yang, and thought about it vaguely before apparating.

This is a dark passage, because it is underground, even though it is midsummer, it is still cold and humid here, only a few candlesticks that are sparsely lit on both sides emit a trace of heat.With the help of the dim candlelight, you can see that there are several stone chambers on both sides, and the people inside are either sitting or lying down, but no matter what their identities were before, they are all trapped in this cramped space at the moment.

"Ahem..." A young woman finally seemed unable to bear the dark environment, her hoarse voice was particularly abrupt in the eerie quiet stone room, "Is anyone awake? How long have we been here?"

After a while, a man replied: "It has been seven days." The voice seemed to come from the stone room in front.

For seven days, they actually stayed in this ghost place for seven days.The woman recalled the strange experience of this period in her mind, and every minute and every second was unbearable.After she was suddenly attacked at the summer gathering, she woke up and found herself trapped here with several other strange wizards, her wand was also confiscated, and food and water were brought regularly every day, but that amount was only a small amount. Enough to hang them from death.And after eating them, they would fall into a coma. In short, they didn't have any extra time to think about the way out - obviously the other party's intention was to prevent the prisoners in the stone room from having the opportunity to communicate.

Taking advantage of the rare moment of waking up, she said with difficulty: "Who else is awake?"

No one answered.

After a while, the voice just now said, "What's your name?"

"Sally. What about you?" The woman tried to straighten up, but it was in vain.

"Tong Baihao." The man's voice became a little clearer, "Do you think this was done by the purgers?"

The woman wanted to shake her head subconsciously, and then realized that the other party couldn't see it at all, "It's possible. But this place is not like a dungeon commonly used by wizard families—I have read some books on ancient architecture, and this place seems to have been remodeled, like Tombs or something."

"The burial? Did the attacker want someone to be buried with him?" The man laughed at himself after he finished speaking.

The woman couldn't help laughing too.

The experience of these seven days has exhausted all reason. Under the influence of drugs, no one can continue to maintain a calm mind. The woman feels as if she is on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly there was a sound from the front, and a fresh air flow poured into the closed passage, and the candlelight on both sides trembled a few times.The two stopped laughing at the same time, holding their breath to watch the sudden change.

Three men in black robes entered, their silver masks showing only a little of their thin chins, and two of them placed their daily rations as usual beside each stone chamber.The third person checked the situation in the stone room. After the two of them finished their daily work, he pointed to the stone room where the woman was, and then the woman was dragged out.

This is the first time she has come out of this cage in many days.The woman raised her head, trying to recognize the other person's face, but she could only vaguely see the dark eyes of the man in black robe, which looked a bit piercing under the dim candlelight.

It was a look at the dead.

The woman shuddered at the conclusion that suddenly popped up in her mind. Her last impression was that the other party pulled out his wand, and the woman passed out completely after a dazzling red light.

The three of them led the witch out of the cold underground space.The man in the stone room next to him was horrified when he witnessed the whole process, as if he had seen his own future destiny.

A man over forty years old was sitting in the center of the room. The room was quite empty, except for a few rings of candles placed around the man, there were only a few colored prayer flags hanging directly above the room.With his eyes closed, his face was extremely pale. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, he wouldn't be able to tell that the man in front of him was still alive.

Not long after, the door behind him opened, and the three of them entered the dead room without a sound.The leading man in black robe instructed the other two to place the unconscious witch on a small open space beside the man. After putting down the witch, they quickly left the space surrounded by candlelight, as if they were very afraid of these inconspicuous little decorations.

"This is today's test product. She has taken the medicine for seven days, and now it meets your requirements." The black-robed man straightened his sleeves and continued, "There are three left, you'd better hurry up." After that, regardless of whether the other party responded or not, he left this weird place.The remaining two followed closely behind, as if something would attack them if they were a little slower.

The man opened his eyes when the room was quiet again, he glanced at the young witch briefly, and then dragged her in, his movements were as gentle as treating a lover.He pushed the witch's wrist away, as if admiring her calm face.The next moment, the man picked up a short knife beside him and stabbed it into a wrist. The woman woke up from the sudden attack and screamed. Intricate patterns flow down.He seemed to feel that the amount of bleeding was not enough, so he picked up a sharp knife and stabbed it into the other white wrist.There was a shriller scream than before, and the woman could only convulse weakly due to the effect of the drug. She stared at the perpetrator in front of her, as if she wanted to devour the flesh and blood of the other party.

The perpetrator didn't care about this, and he made a few more stab wounds in the opponent's thigh. At this time, the fresh blood had surrounded the two of them. With the help of candlelight, it could be found that the grooves in the surrounding ground were gradually filled, forming an ancient Complicated graphics composed of runes and other unknown characters.Looking at the scene in front of him, the man seemed to be finally satisfied. Turning his head, he found that the witch still had a trace of breath. He stretched out his hand to pull her closer, and then brushed the hair around his neck.

The poor woman still had a sliver of sanity left at this moment, but the severe pain that came from the next moment made her regret her sobriety at this moment.

The man bit the witch's neck fiercely like a wild beast, blood flowed down the white skin, and the prey in his arms let out a last tragic scream, as if the soul was also bitten, and then slowly stopped struggling.

The man finally let go and threw each other on the ground like throwing garbage.He sat cross-legged, if it wasn't for the reminder of the blood at the corner of his mouth and the corpse beside him, the man really looked like a high-ranking monk who was meditating.At this moment, the blood-soaked groove gradually emits fine fragments of white light, and the body of the dead witch also emits the same light. They gather in the air as if they were alive, and finally they vaguely piece together a faint shadow.However, this image only lasted for a short time before dissipating over the room.

The empty house fell silent again.

After witnessing what happened just now, the man let out a long sigh, obviously very disappointed with what he saw.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is a high-energy early warning, including killing and death content, especially the last part.

I don't know what kind of evil I got into typing out such a chapter in the middle of the night, probably because the last chapter was too sweet [?Alright.
