Chapter 136 The scene

"This... is such a feast..."

The door in front of her was slowly opened by Dumbledore. Manna, who gradually saw the whole picture, had no time to look back on the seven years she had spent in this hall. She couldn't help but mutter.

The four long tables were squeezed in the middle and joined together to form a larger table. The silk decorations on the ceiling were also torn down and scattered on the table.

The most surprising thing were the candles. They were still floating, but they were moving away from the starry sky that they were used to decorate. Instead, they surrounded the unconscious girl in the middle of the table, not too far away, like a pilgrimage.

There seemed to be something else on the table, but Manna could no longer see it clearly. However, Dark had not given the signal to observe closely, so she took out the wrapped glasses from her pocket and tried to see the silver circle around the girl clearly.

"Kacha——"

As soon as Manna put on her glasses, she saw several flashes of white light beside her. It was Dark who took out a portable camera to record the scene. She looked at Dark, and after getting a serious nod from her husband, Manna walked towards the girl.

"Principal Dumbledore, I need to confirm with you when this girl was discovered."

"It was discovered by Penelope Clearwater, the first student to enter the Great Hall at half past six this morning, the fifth-year prefect of Ravenclaw."

Manna heard Dark's serious voice at work, but she didn't pay much attention to it and continued walking forward. The silver that had just touched her eyes became even brighter and had the unique moistness of liquid. This piece of silver extended very wide, as if it was splashed on casually, but with the girl as the center, there was a completely blank area.

Manna frowned. She wanted to go further, but her body stopped involuntarily. A strange feeling of fear surged up over her.

For a battle-hardened investigator who enjoys adventure and new things, this feeling is rare.

Normally, she should be excited.

"So, she did go back to her bedroom last night, and no one, not even the house elves, noticed anything unusual at night, right?" Dark was discussing the situation with Dumbledore. When he noticed Manna's sudden pause, he immediately ran towards her. "Manna, what's wrong with you?"

"No... I just feel a little strange, Dark." Manna grabbed Dark's hand on her shoulder and looked over soothingly.

"It's the blood of a unicorn. As the purest creature, when it is murdered, its blood will carry the world's condemnation of this murder," Dumbledore explained as he walked over slowly. "So, people who get close will feel guilty and fearful. This is normal."

"Unicorn blood!" Manna exclaimed, opening her eyes wide to look at the large area of ​​silver on the table.

Dark's brows frowned for a moment, then relaxed very quickly. His deep blue eyes visibly shone, and he was obviously excited.

"Do you have anything else to add, Headmaster Dumbledore?" Dark tilted his head to look at Dumbledore, the reluctance on his face having completely disappeared.

"In her hands," Dumbledore pointed at Della's clasped hands. The Royalea couple then realized that the girl was holding a long stick-like object in her hands clasped on her abdomen. "It's a unicorn's horn. I concealed something about this. The reason why the scene can be maintained like this is that I dare not rashly end this ceremony with an unknown outcome."

“Heh,” Dark laughed. In such a creepy situation, he actually smiled widely. “Yes, pure blood can connect souls, but unicorn blood that is too pure can bring a curse.”

"You are right, Headmaster Dumbledore. I am afraid that this place will have to remain like this until we catch the murderer. Also," Dark squatted down and spotted a snake with its belly ripped open and flesh turned outward in the silver blood, "I will have to go to this girl's dormitory later. Please make arrangements for me."

"I'll arrange it, Agent Royea." Dumbledore's voice was low, and his eyes moved from Dark to Della sitting in the middle of the wooden table.

She lay there, her clothes as neat and straight as usual, even her slightly curled hair fell neatly on her chest. There was no trace of pain on her fair face, and she looked calm, as if she was just taking a nap, but in the wrong place.

Dumbledore let out a breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart. He said goodbye to the Royalea couple and prepared to go to Minerva to discuss the next matters of the college.

"Manna, are you okay?" Dark looked at his wife with concern.

"Rather, I am more motivated under this twisted fear." Manna curled her lips. Her excitement completely destroyed her tranquil appearance, but also gave her another layer of beauty.

Dark also laughed. He pointed at Della in the middle and said, "Use the levitation spell to fly over and see if there are any marks on her body. Just pay attention to her hands."

"Oh, right," Dark exclaimed as if he had suddenly realized something when Manna raised the wand. "Just take a quick look now. We'll have to ask Aidan to come over later. It's rare to encounter such a difficult situation. He can learn a lot here."

Manna looked at the silver blood on the table, then at the girl holding the beast horn, and did not answer. She just raised her eyebrows and shook her head with emotion.

Yes, Aidan can learn a lot here.

Curses and rituals related to souls are very complicated situations, because in most cases they are not facing beginners who cast spells according to spell books, but masters who are creative and autonomous.

Just like now, not only were they unable to remove the crude sleeping spell on the girl, they even dared not touch the obviously problematic animal horns. Once the connection of souls began, no one could imagine the consequences of interrupting it rashly.

But this heir could still expose his victims so brazenly in public. It might be a good thing for him to complete the ritual and achieve his goal at this time, because what was taken away could be taken back easily.

But if the ritual is not completed and is terminated improperly, any consequences will be borne by the victim and the investigator.

Like here, both the animal horns and the blood need to be paid attention to, but they noticed that a lot of silver blood had seeped in through the gaps between the tables, which means that the blood is not that important, but it is still better to keep it.

What they are doing now is not so much an investigation as it is trying to guess the heir's thoughts through the traces left at the scene, whether intentional or unintentional.

In the Snake Tail Dormitory where they were about to go, Maggie, whose surrounding air pressure was extremely low, was using her powerful tail to pull out the book "The Origins of Wizards and Muggles", revealing the empty space they used to hide things.

Inside was no longer the small suitcase that had been put in this semester, but a pair of ordinary black-framed glasses.

She knows it all!

She knows it!

return......

Maggie's snake pupils straightened and then shrunk, shrunk and straightened again. Although the damn diary killed all his snakes along the way and made it impossible for him to find out what happened last night, there was no body of Apep in the layer of blood, and Della was definitely not a reckless person.

The slender snake tail hooked out the pair of soul-observing glasses in the blank space, which Della had destroyed in front of him and had remade at some unknown time. Maggie grew a little bigger, swallowed the glasses in one gulp, and after carefully putting the book back, slid down the desk, and left the room along the corner.

"Dark, there's something here!" At the same time, Manna, who went around the teacher's wooden platform to investigate, found something strange in the main seat, which was Dumbledore's seat.

As soon as she turned her head and screamed, red gas came up from the seat. Before she could react, Dark rushed over and protected her, rolling on the ground for several times.

As soon as it stopped, Dark, who was protecting it, and Manna, who was lying on the ground with her back to the ground, pointed their wands at the red gas in tacit understanding. However, the red gas ignored them and flew straight to the center of the ceremony. The suspended white candles were dyed red in an instant, and the circular blank area around the girl also began to glow red.

[Let us mourn for this little Slytherin]

The couple, supporting each other, walked over cautiously. A line of bloody and ominous words appeared along a circle above the girl's head. A blood snake was also drawn between the girl's eyebrows, and the red light that kept flashing under her feet also stabilized at this time.

The heirs will not be satisfied until the eternal sacrifice occurs.

"what!!!!"

Just as the two of them saw the new line of words clearly, terrified screams were heard outside. They looked at each other and realized that something had happened again.
