The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 389 Old House

Thomas didn’t answer. He pursed his lips tightly and looked like he had no comment. Xing Ze sighed and said, “You know the longer we delay here, the greater the chance of being caught by them.”

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

“Ah, this is why you joined the Invisible Cult. Those Death Eaters and the Snake People are mortal enemies. But you should know that the Arab prince who said this was finally beheaded.”

Thomas frowned. The young man in front of him was sarcastic and astute as his age. Of course, he knew that wizards had potions that could slow down aging and change appearance. Perhaps there was something hidden under this slightly immature face. He is a weather-beaten old man.

“No, I meant you.”

Xing Ze didn’t understand for a while. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, “Oh, you want to confirm whether I am an enemy. If I am an enemy, will you join the snake people?”

“Maybe.” Thomas didn’t feel ashamed at all when he said this. Perhaps the wallflower style was the best way for him to survive until now.

Faced with such an attitude, Xing Ze smiled and replied: “I think I have proved my sincerity enough along the way. Otherwise, the gun in my hand would have been pressed against your forehead by now. “

“No, it’s not enough.” Thomas said, “Serpent’s Tooth is a dangerous book that should not appear in this world.”

“But it happened anyway, Mr. Thomas. Things must be there for a reason.”

“But I don’t believe its reason for existing is to leave me to you.”

“Okay, okay.” Xing Ze restarted the car, “I don’t insist on that book. The first priority is to avoid those pursuers. Tell me, where do you want me to send you?”

Xing Ze’s casual abandonment made Thomas feel uncomfortable, and he stuffed back a series of words that came to his lips.

“But…you…”

“Ah, don’t get me wrong. I do want “Snake’s Teeth”, but I have other things to ask. Since you think that book is safe now, I don’t need to worry about it for now.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Something about the Unsolved Mysteries Society.”

Thomas sighed heavily, retracted his hand on the doorknob, shook his head and said, “Brechester’s association has been infiltrated. If Jezebeth is the one who brought you here, it means that the association The top brass are all dead.”

To be precise, I killed them all. Xing Ze murmured in his heart. He continued to ask: “I was indeed fooled by that woman. It seems that you are the same. You might as well tell me, what is going on? I am really getting more and more curious.”

“Then you have to tell me first, where are we going now?”

“You can go anywhere, as long as you can get out of here.” Xing Ze said, “The Unsolved Mysteries Association should have a branch in Liverpool. If you want, I can send you there. Of course, if you think it is too dangerous, I will You can also send it to Liverpool Police Station, where I have many friends.”

“Liverpool?” Thomas repeated to himself. “That’s a long way.”

“Yeah. That’s enough for you to explain the whole thing clearly.”

…

No. 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside. When Ellie and Ribbon arrived, Yuri and Scott had already arrived. The two unexpectedly had a good conversation, and they probably found a common topic.

“It seems that no introduction is needed from me.” Ellie stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between an old man and a young man.

Yuri nodded towards Reiben and Nicks, but Scott took the initiative to reach out and introduce himself to Reben. After learning that Ruiben was the superintendent, he was even more surprised.

Riben saw his appearance and asked with a smile: “What? Is there anything wrong?”

“Oh, no, it’s nothing.” Scott looked embarrassed, “I didn’t expect the police to believe these things.”

“Many police officers are religious,” the superintendent replied.

Scott would not understand the meaning of these words. He did not continue to struggle with this issue, but pointed to the two-story house behind him that was obscured by overgrown shrubs and trees – even though the house was already weather-beaten, It is dilapidated, but it still retains the luxurious style of the past.

“This is it.” He said, “The old house of the Hawkins family.” Then he took out a drawing from the backpack behind him.

“I’ve researched it. It’s a two-story building with a basement. It’s a typical eighteenth-century house structure.”

“I bet there must be something wrong in the basement.” Ribbon answered, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

The four of them walked towards the old house. After arriving at the front door, Yuri proposed to check around the house. The superintendent agreed, and the two walked together.

After Ellie approached the house, she felt a sense of disgust in her heart, and she could smell something vaguely on the tip of her nose. The smell was indescribable, like lead dust or the damp clay of a cemetery. It was hard to describe, but I could definitely smell it.

She even suspected that this strange smell appeared in her nasal cavity, no, it should be said in her brain, without even smelling it.

The girl secretly glanced at the others, and the expressions on everyone’s faces were quite solemn, which meant they were in the right place.

“It’s safe in the back.” Yuri’s voice came from the back of the house. Accompanied by the sound of rustling bushes, the stern young man walked towards the front door with the superintendent.

“Then let’s go in.” Scott said, reaching out and turning the door handle.

The front door was not locked and was opened easily. The musty smell unique to old houses came from inside, mixed with a bit of fishy stench.

Ellie frowned slightly, the wand had already been held in her hand. For some reason, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared, but this emotion only stayed for a moment.

After Ravenska, she secretly vowed not to be bound by the past again, but at this moment her hand without the wand was shaking violently, just like when she met those snake people at St. Mungo’s before.

Being able to feel fear is not a shameful thing. It is one of human instincts. If you want to fight against this instinct, you must first accept and acknowledge it. Ellie admitted that she was indeed afraid now, afraid of experiencing the powerlessness and despair she felt in Ravenska again.

After everyone went in, she calmly took in a breath, then let it out, and her mood gradually calmed down. She thought of that lunatic, that lunatic who was desperate for his life, a madman who went against the trend. He would not be afraid of his enemy without even seeing him.

Ellie suddenly felt ashamed of her fear. Before she walked into this gloomy old house, the young wizard lady looked behind her, as if looking for something or confirming her determination.
