"Just like you found your path here, I also found my own path with your help." Hermione said, showing her new power to Ryan like a little girl showing her favorite toy.

The power Hermione gained was related to death. In this space filled with death, the law of death that wizards usually pursued but could not see was readily available. In this case, Hermione slowly mastered these powers about death with the help of Ryan, and the transformation of life and death just now was a simple application of this power.

"Unfortunately, my magic power is not strong enough. Apart from the little trick I just used, I can't cast any other useful spells outside for more than a few times." After demonstrating a few spells like the weakening ray, Hermione said a little depressed. "Only in this environment full of death can I use these spells so smoothly."

"It's okay. We are still young, and our magic power will gradually become stronger in the future." After comforting Hermione, Ryan walked to the scales left behind after the disappearance of the Grim Reaper, and placed the refined Secondary Rose Madonna on the tray that was raised high.

There was no expected sound and light effect. When the red translucent stone was placed in the tray, the arm of the scale began to rotate quietly and slowly, and finally the end representing Ryan and Hermione's souls rose slightly.

"Here, effort and reward must be equal." At the moment when the arm of the scale stopped, the voice of the god of death echoed in the hall again. "You can make your demands now."

Ryan thought about it and found that he didn't need anything, so he gave this opportunity to Hermione. Hermione only lowered her head to think for a while, then raised her head and said to the sky: "I want to know about death."

"Knowledge? Of course I can. I will give you the right knowledge." The voice of the God of Death sounded again. "You are not the first human to make such a request. Seeking knowledge should be a characteristic of you humans."

"Not the first one?" Ryan and Hermione seemed to know some incredible news. Hermione couldn't help asking, "Can we know who was the person who sought knowledge before?"

"They call themselves Peverell, and their names are Antiochus, Cadmus, and Ignotus." As soon as the words fell, a transparent ball appeared in front of Hermione. "This is the knowledge for you. We are now even, and you can leave at any time."

Looking at the three stone arches that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ryan could only marvel at the powerful power that comes from truly mastering the rules. At this time, Hermione also absorbed the knowledge and walked behind him.

"How about this knowledge?" Ryan turned his head away from the doors and asked.

"It feels really good." Hermione also stared at the three magical doors and said, "With these things, I believe I can reach your level one day."

"I'm looking forward to that day." Ryan seemed very happy about Hermione's gains. As a human being who is still an ordinary person at heart, he really hopes that someone can accompany him on this path of transcendence.

"Which door should we go out from?" Hermione looked at the doors in front of her and felt a little confused.

"The one on the left," Ryan said. "This is the ray of hope that the dead world leaves for the living. If the living can survive in this place and pay a price that complies with the law of exchange, then he can return to the human world through this door."

"Is that so? No wonder I can feel the breath of life from it. But isn't there another door on the far right that can also sense the breath of life? What is this door used for?" Hermione stared at the door on the far right curiously.

"That's the road for the dead to return. The ghosts didn't have the courage to move forward, so they returned through this door. There is no price to pay to go back from here. But only ghosts can leave from here, and they can never return after they leave. If you feel carefully, you can feel that this door is not enough to support our bodies to return to the world." "Then the door in the middle is--" "It's the road we go down. We see that some great wizards left behind a saying that death is just the beginning of a great journey, and the starting point is here. Once you choose this road, there is really no turning back."

"It's incredible that these stone arches lead to various places. Why are there traces of human construction here?" Hermione asked a question after carefully observing the three arches.

"No, this is just the stone archway that we think should be like this when leaving a place like this." Ryan said to Hermione seriously, "The boundary between the virtual and the real in this place is not that strict. Our power can affect the surrounding environment and make it become what we imagine."

"Okay!" Ryan looked at Hermione who was trying to study the three doors and grabbed her hand. "These things are actually not worth studying for us right now. We have to go back now."

"Yeah." Hermione came to her senses after hearing that. She nodded and walked into the middle door with Ryan. They felt that there was only endless darkness inside the door. However, after taking a step, the surrounding environment immediately changed. They appeared in an alley. There were voices of people talking and car engines on the street in the distance.

"Ryan, we are really back." Hermione hugged Ryan and cried and laughed. The smell of gasoline and dust showed that they really returned to the world safely. Ryan understood Hermione's excitement. After staying in a place full of death for so long, feeling the vitality of the world again and feeling that he was still alive again was enough to make anyone burst into tears.

"We need to know where this is and what time it is now." Ryan said after he and Hermione calmed down a little.

"Yeah." Hermione's eyes widened. "I think we were behind that door for a long time. They mustn't have finished our funeral."

After the two changed into the Muggle clothes prepared in the space bag, they walked to the street. When they passed a newsstand, they saw the date of the newspaper that day.

"It's incredible!" Hermione said excitedly when she confirmed that there was no one around. "I felt like we stayed there for a whole year, but in fact we only spent three days."

"Yeah, that's a good thing." Ryan smiled. "We can give our friends a surprise."

"Hopefully it won't turn into a shock." Hermione shrugged.

"Of course, of course." Ryan spread his hands. "We just need to tell them that we got away from there luckily, no need to say more? Anyway, that's the Department of Mysteries, and all kinds of magical things can happen."

"Very good, now let's hurry back to the castle." At this time, the two of them had come to a small road with few people. Hermione stretched out her wand and began to summon the Knight Bus. With a bang, a purple bus appeared in front of them.

"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, our emergency transportation service for witches and wizards in distress. Just hold out your wand and step aboard, and we'll take you wherever you need to go. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I'm your conductor—"
