[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Zhang Qiling stopped in front of a two-story apartment. The girl had said that the door key could only be used three times, so she had to ask them for help.He stepped forward and knocked on the door, which opened after a while.He recognized the witch in front of him as Jiang Yu's friend Yao Hui, who was very surprised at the moment, which made his sense of uncertainty even stronger.

"You..." The witch thought for a while and then changed her words, "Xiao Zhang, let's talk about it first."

He followed the witch through the porch to the front hall, and saw a familiar figure through the crystal curtain, which was very similar to the girl. However, when the other party heard the movement and turned sideways, he realized that it was not the person he was looking for.

"Xiao Zhang?" Jiang Yu was also full of doubts, she got up and signaled Zhang Qiling to sit down, "Please sit down."

"I'm sorry to disturb you at such a late hour. I came here to ask about Lin Ci. I went there just now, but the boss said that she escaped from the trial of Wizard Garo."

He noticed that Jiang Yu had shown an inexplicable uneasiness and pain since hearing the name Lin Ci. After carefully observing the witch's expression, he suddenly realized a problem.The girl's brows and eyes have an aura similar to that of the witch in front of her, that's why I had the illusion of seeing a girl just now.

Ginger fish, Jiang Lin.

Is it just a coincidence?

Jiang Yu pursed her lips tightly, as if she was a little resistant to this topic.

"Tea, please." Yao Hui prepared tea for the guests, interrupting the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two.Then she sat down next to her friend, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhang, Jiang Yu was affected by Lin Ci before. But we want to know, how much do you know about her?"

He was silent.

"It's like this. Three weeks ago, the Auror Command conducted a routine security check on the members. Lin Ci had a problem with his pass, so he was taken to trial. It wasn't a big deal, but," Yao Hui saw that the other party didn't mean to speak. , and answered the previous question first, "When I checked the wand, I found traces of using the Cruciatus Curse—this is one of the unforgivable curses, all wizards are forbidden to use it, and violators may be sentenced to life."

"Later, Lin Ci asked for a public trial, but she refused to make a statement for herself at the meeting, and admitted that she had used the Cruciatus Curse. Her accusation was established, and she could only be taken by Auror to Yunsenta, the wizard prison, at that time She hijacked Jiang Yu and finally escaped."

The silent witch turned her head away, trying to hide the grief in her heart.Yao Hui patted the other party's arm, silently comforting his friend.

Zhang Qiling also frowned, not knowing why the girl would do such a thing.He carefully recalled the scene of the rally, and a figure flashed through his mind.

“No, on the day of the rally I saw a man attacking Lin Ci,” he recalled. “The man was wearing a black robe and a silver mask on his face.”

The two witches looked up at him, Yao Hui thought for a while and said, "I did hear her talk about this before, but why didn't Lin Ci speak for himself at the trial meeting?"

None of the three spoke again.This is the crux of the matter. If it is said that because life is threatened, it is not forbidden to use some extreme spells, but it is a big problem to give up the statement.

Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something, and she took out a delicate light green cloth bag with faint magic fluctuations protecting the contents inside.

"I found this in the robe after she left. I have never seen this thing before." She opened the cloth bag and poured out a small black stone with a gold thread border on it. The surface of the stone is uneven. But there is a faint jade brilliance reflected in it.

Zhang Qiling recognized it as a girl's necklace at a glance, but there was only one stone, but the previous chain was missing.He pointed to the thing in the other party's hand: "Can you show it to me?"

Jiang Yu agreed and handed him the stone.After Zhang Qiling took it, he looked carefully at the light. The stone was somewhat transparent, and under the effect of the light, it appeared dark and deep, giving people a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

After a while, he returned the stone to the witch, thought it over and said: "This is Lin Ci's. She has been wearing it before and never took it off. Once we went to a Yao village, and an old man said it was medicine. The relics of ancestor Shennong." He was not sure whether he should tell the truth, but he felt that there was no need to hide them.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yu trembled as if she had been greatly stimulated, and she asked in disbelief: "Shen Nong?" After seeing the man nodding his head affirmatively, the witch frowned even tighter.Yao Hui on the side was also very puzzled, "Shen Nong Jiang... Could it be that the girl is a descendant of another branch?"

Jiang Yu shook her head: "Although the Shennong Jiang family has many ethnic groups, the magical one among them has stayed in Chencang, and the residence has never changed from generation to generation—unless she is an illegitimate child."

There was a dead silence again, and an awkward atmosphere spread in the small space.

"Well, I'm bothering you. But can I bother you to take me out? Lin Ci's door key has a limited number of times." Finally he decided to go back first.

After sending the man away, Jiang Yu looked at the dark night sky and tightly clutched the things in her hands. She felt the hard touch in the palm of her hand, and her worries did not diminish at all.

It seems that I have lost something important, but what is it?

Several days have passed since I received my uncle's owl, but Cheng Hezhou still hasn't heard from Jiang Lin. What happened to the other party?He impatiently crumpled the newspaper in his hand and threw it on the ground, and then the newspaper disappeared quickly.Then an owl flew in and threw a note on the table. He picked it up and put it down again after a while.

Hope this is the last time I go to that damn place.He thought vaguely before apparating.

"Do you think it will be successful this time? After all, several of them have died." A wizard in a black cloak said, with unconcealable fear in his tone.

"Who knows, but the old man is quite satisfied with this woman. He said that she has a pure blood. I heard that when he was caught, several people cast spells together to disarm her." Another older wizard said with a little emotion. Said, "But it's a pity, a young girl, she looks like she's only in her twenties."

The young man looked puzzled: "That's right, I don't know why she just ran to the abandoned stronghold. It just so happened that the old man ordered them to move out one day in advance. Isn't this hitting the guns!"

"Well, everyone has their own destiny." The wizard sighed, quite regretfully.

The more Cheng Hezhou heard it, the more frightened he became. He didn't bother to say hello to the two of them, and went straight to the stone room where the wizard was held. Seeing this, the two wizards hurried up to greet him: "Sir, you are finally here. You developed this magic dispersing potion." , let’s see if you still want to continue taking the experimental product.”

He didn't answer, but walked silently into the stone room where the girl was. A small and thin figure was lying on the floor tiles, motionless.He knelt down on one knee uncontrollably, pushed the hair off the girl's face, and a familiar face was revealed. He held the other's small pale face, and it was cold when he touched it.Maybe it was the warm touch on the face that woke the girl up a bit, she struggled to open her eyes, and looked at his maroon eyes full of confusion and pain.

A sudden throbbing pain struck his heart, and Cheng Hezhou withdrew his hand abruptly.

It was him, he got the wrong place, and he pushed the other party into hell step by step.

The man stood up and glanced coldly at the two people behind him; "How many days has she used the medicine?"

"Seven, seven days. Today is the last time." Perhaps frightened by the look in the boss's eyes, the young wizard stumbled in reply.

"That's all right, drink the last bottle of potion for her and send it to the professor."

A steady and powerful voice sounded from the darkness behind him.

Master Feng stepped into the stone room, inspected the girl on the ground briefly, and ordered to the two people next to him: "Drag her up."

The two wizards hurriedly followed suit, one of them lifted the girl's upper body, the other opened her chin, and poured a bottle of light purple potion into it.The girl was still a little conscious, she shook her head and tried to break away from the fixed hand, but it was in vain.The potion flowed down the corner of his mouth and wet his clothes, but most of it still got into his mouth.After doing all this, the young man picked up the unconscious girl and walked out of the stone room. The two left the witch in another stone room and left quickly.

Cheng Hezhou looked at all this, tightly clenched his palms, and tried his best not to show any suspicious expression.

"It just so happens that you are here, and I want to ask the previous contact points how your preparations are going." Master Feng turned around, looked around and said, "Let's go back first, it's really uncomfortable to stay in this place .”

He agreed, moved his steps somewhat mechanically, and followed the other party out of this oppressive space.

Don't think about it anymore, it has nothing to do with you.

Jiang Lin curled up on the cold floor tiles, and was forced to drink unknown potions for several days, so that she could hardly concentrate now, and was sometimes awake and sometimes confused.

When escaping from the trial meeting, she took advantage of the chaos and stuffed things into her mother's robe, which was considered to be returned to the original owner.She decided to leave when she was taken away by the Aurors for interrogation due to problems with the pass. Since the way to go back through the necklace was too difficult, she chose to give up and go to the centaur at worst.

During the interrogation meeting, she felt her mother was watching her, but she couldn't turn her head, and she couldn't make any eye contact with them.The Cruciatus Curse was a trap set by someone. She didn't know who the other party was, so naturally she couldn't involve them. She had already caused enough trouble to her friends.

What's more, I don't belong to this time and space.

I still remember that once Changyan took them to the Muggle world. The girls were very interested in the kind of photos that didn't move, so everyone tried the Muggle camera.When she saw the smiling faces of the girls in the photos, she suddenly thought that it would be great if time could freeze at this moment like this, and she was willing to exchange everything for the time in front of her.

But all of this seemed to be stolen, which made her feel insecure.Time is a powerful magic that never breaks the rules for any reason.As a wizard, I understand this truth better than ordinary people.

The same goes for death.

It's not that she didn't think about telling her parents in advance that they would encounter an accident a few years later, but that would mean that the timeline would be disturbed, and the consequences would be unpredictable.The longer she stayed with them, the more tormented she would be, but she couldn't let go of this rare relationship.She was even a little thankful that she was judged, at least time helped her make a decision, she shouldn't stay here, it's the most correct way to stay away from them and be alone again.

They will be married in a year's time.She thought of the photos she had seen before. Her mother and father were snuggling together happily, with countless petals falling, as beautiful as a painting.

It's a pity she couldn't wait.

Why things are always so unsatisfactory.

At this moment, I can only lie in this cold and dark stone room, thinking intermittently about those things that I may not be able to touch in this lifetime.

The girl rested her head on the arm beside her and took a deep breath.

Suddenly there was a piercing sound in the empty stone room, like a shovel scraping the ground.After carefully identifying it, she realized that someone was speaking.She struggled to open her eyes to see who it was, but she only saw a vague outline, which seemed to be a man.She felt herself being gently lifted, brushed her hair with one hand, and the man moved closer. This time, she found that there were more than a dozen candles around, the candles were flickering, and there were a few long colored candles on the top of the stone chamber. Something like a prayer flag hung down and swayed slightly.

"Who... are you?" She struggled to choke out a word, her voice hoarse.

The other party did not answer.

She desperately wanted to know where this was, so she reached out to grab the man's clothes and ask him carefully.The man seemed surprised by her actions, and after a pause, he gently held her wrist, avoiding her exposed skin in a gentlemanly manner.He pulled the girl's wrist in, as if checking something, and then lightly placed it on the ground, turning around and groping aside.

She was a little puzzled by the man's actions, and was about to ask him what he was going to do, when the severe pain hit like a wave, occupying all her thoughts.

The man smeared some potion on the dagger, and then accurately pierced it into the girl's slender wrist. There was a tragic scream, and the surrounding candles could not stop flickering.He pierced the girl's other wrist and ankle one after another, and the blood from the wound flowed out, like those of the previous victims, into the grooves under her body.With the increase of blood volume, a complex figure consisting of complete ancient runes and mysterious patterns gradually appeared, with a huge six-pointed star running through it, mixed with the girl's viscous and fresh blood, there was a strange beauty.

The girl lay on the ground and twitched non-stop, her face was as pale as paper, and she couldn't stop crying. She struggled to stay away from the man beside her, but she couldn't exert any strength due to the effect of the potion.Her mother's gentle face flashed across her mind, and she murmured subconsciously: "It hurts...Mom...it hurts..."

The man pulled the other into his arms, touched the soft hair of the other, as if he was comforting the girl, then buried his head on her neck, bit the delicate skin hard, and sprayed a fresh stream of heat into his mouth, Satisfied, he let go of the witch and threw the girl on the ground.The girl writhed in pain, her hair scattered all over the place. At this time, the blood in the groove was finally full, and some faint light rays rose from it, and the same light escaped from the girl, and they gradually converged into a A bright white light group slowly rotated.

Seeing such a scene, the man's face finally showed an almost fanatical expression. He stretched out his hand and muttered to the light ball, as if he wanted to embrace the light.However, the light group slowly rose and circled as if consciously, never approaching the other party.

At this moment, a dagger was accurately pierced into his neck, and the man turned his head in disbelief. The next moment, blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

Holding the knife in her hand, the girl was shaking all over. After confirming that the other party was dead, she lay down on the ground as if she was exhausted. The prayer flags on the top were still shaking, and the white light gradually returned to the girl's body, blending into her body soundlessly. inside.She felt that her strength had recovered a bit, and then she heard the door of the stone chamber opened, and a gust of fresh air poured in.

The person came closer and looked suspiciously at the man lying on the ground. He was just about to light up the tip of his wand to see what happened when he was suddenly thrown to the ground. A soft body pressed against him, and his chin was crushed. He lifted it up quickly, his neck hurt, and his face was red with blood.

The girl waited for the body of her subordinates to stop moving and then fell to the side. She didn't know if anyone would come in. Enduring the severe pain, she crawled to the man's hand and took out the wand. There were two corpses that were still warm. The murderer's hand trembled even as he held the wand.

Hurry up, hurry up.

She quietly waited for the magic power in her body to recover a little, and then used the last trace of consciousness to apparate.

Jiang Lin felt that he had landed on a lush meadow, with shadowy tree trunks visible around him.The cold wind blowing over her body at night made her twitch uncontrollably.

Do not sleep.It's not time to rest yet.Don't sleep, Jiang Lin.

She kept reminding herself, but the drowsy drowsiness hit her, and her body that had lost too much blood couldn't bear it at all.After an unknown amount of time, just as she was about to give up, there was a slight noise in front of her. She tried hard to open her eyes to see what it was, and finally passed out uncontrollably.

The author has something to say:

It doesn't feel like abuse.Well.

When I woke up and found that it was locked, why not go to heaven?
