The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 366
c356 vague memory
The journey to the University of Bridgechester was not long, but Emily still took the time to tell Xing Ze some rumors about the cemetery.
In her opinion, these things were all made up by humans. As a student of history, she had her own way of identifying these oral legends.
In addition, Emily also briefly introduced the University of Bridgechester to Xing Ze. This university hidden in a secluded town is famous for history, archaeology and folklore. It is at the forefront of the UK in these three subjects, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first.
Especially for folklore, the only one in the world that can compete with it is probably Miskatonic University on the other side of the ocean.
In addition, the University of Bridgechester is also excellent in other subjects such as psychology and astronomy. This historic college is a comprehensive research university like Oxford and Cambridge, but because of its poor geographical location and inconvenient transportation, it is not very well-known.
Emily asked Xingze how long he would stay here, because they would hold a small party in the bar that night, and there would be folklore students attending, who knew a lot about rural legends. She suggested that Xingze could ask these people.
But she didn’t get a reply from the stranger, and Xingze couldn’t be sure how long he would stay here. If there was a discovery on Reims Avenue, he might get a result today.
So he thanked the kind-hearted girl and wrote down the name of the bar. When they parted, he glanced at a decorative button on Emily’s collar. There was a pattern of the Eye of Truth on the button, which obviously belonged to some university club or some other organization.
He felt that he had seen this pattern somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it for a while. Since his body was strengthened, his brain has also been strengthened. His memory is far better than that of ordinary people. Generally speaking, he can remember trivial things in the past.
After Emily left, Xing Ze scribbled on his notebook, trying to record the information he had gotten from the quick glance, but after only a short while, he had begun to have a vague impression of the pattern on the button.
Relying on his not-so-clear memory, he barely managed to draw the pattern on paper, but it was unknown whether there was any deviation in the details.
His scattered thoughts were slowly retracted, and the young wizard devoted a small part of his attention to monitoring the house, and most of his attention to finding the pattern in his memory.
The first thing he thought of was people, people dressed in high-end and gorgeous clothes, both men and women. Then came a bright hall, followed by dazzling magic lights and melodious dance music.
It was very close, and Xing Ze felt that he was about to recall it. He remembered the dance, the rhythmic tapping sounded in his ears, and the unique fragrance.
It was Xunleil Jezebeth, the mysterious woman who appeared in the Shafik family. The memories became clearer and clearer, and the brass ring on her hand also had the pattern of the Eye of Truth.
Interesting. Xing Ze was secretly surprised in his heart, why is this memory so vague?
After thinking hard for a while, he came up with an explanation – there must be magic on the pattern. A common memory blurring spell that can affect a person’s memory.
Although the spell is common, the magic spell engraved on the pattern is not simple. This principle is equivalent to the defensive spell on the magic robe, and it requires special means to achieve. This job requires a magic craftsman, and Emily looks like a Muggle.
Combined with her calmness when facing Xing Ze, a foreigner, not to mention an Oriental, this enthusiastic girl from the country seems to be extraordinary, at least the origin of the button decoration must be extraordinary.
After getting the answer, Xing Ze did not delve into these things too much, but turned his attention to his notes. He began to sort out the rumors he had received, trying to find some useful information from them.
He thought in his heart that if there was still no progress, he would have to think of some other ways. Maybe people around knew about this house, and his identity as a policeman should be able to help a lot.
…
Florence came back with a happy and serious expression. He was a man who could not hide his joy, and Worm knew this.
“Okay, the Black Knight agrees to meet you.”
Worm drank the rest of the wine in one gulp and said to Ellie: “What did I say, woman? I’ll take care of everything.”
Ellie still had a stern face and asked, “Where are we going to meet?”
“Speaking of this.” Florence kept it a secret. He pointed at the two of them and asked, “Aren’t you hot?”
Ellie didn’t understand what the other party meant, but Worm stood up and replied, “It’s really hot. I’m sweating.” He took off his shirt and pants.
The eldest lady frowned and looked at him in confusion, probably in urgent need of an explanation.
“Take it off, woman. This is a necessary procedure.” Worm said, “In case we have a bug on us.”
“I don’t want to go in naked.” Ellie flatly refused.
Florence gestured to a subordinate beside him, and the man turned and walked into the inner room. Then he asked, “If you hadn’t given me the correct address, I would have suspected that you were a money counter. Don’t you need to check when you go in and out?”
Ellie shrugged and said, “Of course I have to check, but at least they will give me some clothes instead of being naked like him.”
“Don’t worry, there will be clothes. I will provide you with clothes.” Florence replied coldly, with some hesitation in his tone, probably wondering whether his decision was correct.
Before he changed his mind, Ellie made a decisive decision. She took off her clothes and left only her underwear.
“Satisfied?”
Florence didn’t look at it much. For a nightclub owner with many strippers, a country girl in underwear was really nothing to look at.
The men who had walked into the inner room before came out with two sets of clothes. While the two were changing clothes, Florence asked his men to check the clothes taken off by Worm and Ellie. After confirming that there was no eavesdropping device, he agreed and said, “Okay, then follow me.”
The technical team of the police station considered this possibility, so they installed the eavesdropping device on the sole of the shoe. Although this would affect the radio, it was concealed. Generally speaking, gangsters would not be smart enough to think of this.
The two followed Florence out of the back door, got into the car, and put on hoods. There was a group of detectives monitoring the back door, and they immediately followed Florence’s car after it drove away.
Harris was not in a hurry to follow, he needed to make sure if there were any other cars following the target vehicle. Many gangs would throw out a bait to attract the monitoring police, and then send another car to follow. If the rear car found something wrong, it could remind the front car to cancel the transaction.
Sure enough, five minutes after the target vehicle drove out, another car drove out of the front door of the nightclub and followed the same route. It can be said that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind.
