The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 395

The news brought by Yuri made the eldest lady understand what these snake people were doing. Based on what was discovered in Emberhead Village, these creatures appear to be developing a powerful biotechnology to transform humans into serpents.
“These monsters cannot survive normally because of Ig’s curse.” Yuri emphasized. “The snake-men hatched from the eggs cannot maintain their original intelligence and can only become monsters hungry for flesh and blood.”
“You said they were cursed by their own gods?”
“Yes, this is what I have learned. Don’t delve into where I got the information. In short, these monsters are entrenched underground and have been conducting research in secret. Xing Ze stopped him at a gas station near Jintou Village. A truck got out. According to the confirmation of the local police, the three transporters should be from the Old Record Gang. There were some strange medicines in the truck.
“In addition, from my inference, Emberhead Village is a snake man’s lair. But after we arrived, we only captured some cult believers, but we didn’t find any snake men or monsters at all. The entrance to the underground lair collapsed. So we can’t enter.
“Some body fragments were found in the gymnasium of the local primary school and have been transferred to Liverpool, along with the medicine found in the truck. Xing Ze told me that you will need these things.”
The eldest lady nodded, took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and then waited for her owl to arrive. She needed Burke’s help in this matter and needed him to send what he found to St. Mungo’s as soon as possible for Herbert West to study.
“Do you suspect that the snake people in Emberhead Village escaped?”
“It’s very likely that’s the case. As for where he escaped, it’s unknown. I came back to Liverpool to continue tracking Frank’s whereabouts. Xing Ze said he could come to you and you would provide me with help.”
At this point, Allie finally asked in confusion: “What is your relationship with Xing Ze?”
Yuri smiled softly, with helplessness in his expression, “You can be regarded as a temporary collaborator. He is looking for his things, and I am looking for mine. Although the goals are different, the route is the same.”
“I do have some clues about Frank. Since you and Xing Ze are in a cooperative relationship, you wouldn’t suggest telling me why you are looking for Frank, right?”
“Of course.” Yuri breathed out, “He is my friend.”
The simple answer and tightly closed lips made Ellie understand that the stern and somewhat sinister man in front of her would not say any more.
The doubts in my heart have dissipated a little, but I am still far from feeling completely reassured. The eldest lady thought for a while and said: “78 Hurst Street, Merseyside, we will go there later. If you want, come with us. But the place ahead is not peaceful.”
With a crisp reply, the stern-faced girl in front of him told Yuri that if he couldn’t give out more information, he would have to follow her obediently.
“I have no problem.” Yuri agreed readily. He doesn’t have many cards on hand that can be exchanged, so he can only take one step at a time.
Not long after waiting, Riben also arrived. Yuri wisely did not stay any longer, but found an excuse to prepare and left. Like Scott, Ellie asked him to meet him at the old house in forty minutes.
The superintendent looked at Yuri and asked curiously: “Is he from your place?”
Ellie shook her head and changed the subject: “Do you have any good news?”
“Oh, yes. According to what Josh said, there are six people in Frank’s team. Two women and four men. The specific information should be with the person named Nilgai Garner.”
“Is there any news about this person?”
“I’ve asked the people above to communicate with the law firm. It won’t take long for the results to be available. Where should we go to the old house first?”
“There is a plan. But my people are still making preparations.”
“Do you need police support?” the superintendent asked.
“No, I’ll go check out that place first.”
“Then I’ll go with you. I have a radio in my car. If there is any new discovery, the police station will contact me. I will notify you as soon as possible.”
Ellie nodded and said, “This is best. Besides, I still have some things I need your help with.”
…
Almost ready. Xing Ze followed Jezebeth into the car and soon arrived at the old campus of the University of Bristol.
The group got out of the car and walked into the abandoned clock tower. Jezebeth led the way, Riley walked second, and behind Xing Ze were head chef Raymond and a bunch of other unknown people.
These people were armed with various weapons, and some of them even held several thick books. The titles of the books vary, and most of them are about magic and spells.
The bell tower itself is very dilapidated. It has not been cleaned for a long time and a thick layer of dust has accumulated around it. Jezebeth ordered Emily and the head chef to stay on the first floor to set up the necessary defensive magic circle.
Xing Ze found it quite interesting to see this group of laymen working here. Those holding the books quickly began to prepare, and all kinds of strange materials were laid out one by one. Some even opened the eyes of Xing Ze, a wizard.
Although I graduated from Ravenclaw in this world, I am not very proficient in magic materials and medicine. Therefore, Xing Ze couldn’t name many things and could only watch them.
While he was watching, Jezebeth walked up to him and asked, “Let’s go down now. The entrance is in that room.”
Xing Ze looked along her hand. There were three rooms on the first floor of the bell tower. Jezebeth pointed to the one at the edge.
“Then let’s go.”
“If you want to be more secure, I suggest you wait until they have set up the magic circle.” Riley suggested.
“If my life depends on a magic circle, it would be too tragic.”
Riley said nothing more, but took his equipment, waved to some people beside him and walked towards the room.
Jezebeth smiled, “Riley is like this, he will be very serious when doing things.”
“I can understand, after all, what we have to face is far beyond our imagination.”
As the two talked, they followed the team. Soon, they found the entrance to the lower floor under a piece of rag in the room.
This time, Jezebeth took the initiative to walk to the front of the team. Riley and the others did not seem to want to keep up, but looked at Xing Ze.
Xing Ze understood what they meant and walked quickly into the entrance. He heard the chanting sound coming from outside the door, from the Muggles who set up the magic circle.
There was no light on the road leading underground. Xing Ze followed Jezebeth’s flashlight and went forward. His night vision was also quite good, and he could see everything around him clearly.
This downward passage was made of cement, and the traces of artificial excavation were obvious, but in it, Xing Ze smelled a familiar smell, and he also saw black mucus oozing from the joints of the wall.
He secretly prepared himself. The further he went down, the more obvious the smell became. He remembered where he smelled this smell, and a chill rose on his back.
