Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 315

Lupin has been very busy these days.

It's the Muggle world.

He was about to close down his detective agency.

After all, he has recovered and can return to the magical world.

Not to mention that he is in love with his young girlfriend Tonks and plans to get married in the next two years.

But unexpectedly, it didn’t work!

The business here suddenly skyrocketed!
Normally, one order every three days was considered a lot, but during this period of time, there are fifteen orders a day!

He didn't want to take it at first, after all, it wasn't for the money.

However, most of these survey items are a bit weird!
More than half of the work is just investigating dead bodies!
For example, the job I received this morning - the client's father passed away last night. He was in his seventies and in poor health. He passed away quietly on the sofa while watching TV at night. It can be considered a blessing.

However, something terrible happened.

The body that was clearly lying in the coffin disappeared!

After working for a whole morning, Lupin and his assistant finally found the body in the woods a few kilometers away.

Moreover, this body walked here by itself overnight!

That's right, Ryan created such a natural disaster of the undead in Paris. Although it did not succeed, it is not known which string of the world's operation was disturbed, and now the world of the living and the dead is out of balance.

After a person dies, many souls are unable to automatically return to the underworld and will remain in the human world.

These newly dead souls are full of doubts, and many of them don’t even know that they are dead. Some will completely dissipate and turn to ashes due to environmental problems, while others will turn into evil creatures for various reasons.

If there are still souls that have not left the body, they will control the corpse and run away~
This phenomenon is most serious in Paris, where it is said that some people have traveled hundreds of kilometers by train!

In the past two weeks, the epidemic has spread to neighboring countries, and we certainly cannot leave our century-old good neighbors behind.

All the cemeteries in London are now patrolled by a team of seven or eight people.

If anyone buried there doesn't crawl out honestly, they will be knocked down with a shovel, tied up and cremated.

In short, the entire Muggle world has become numb.

Governments around the world are now worried to the point of losing their hair - how to explain this to the public?

Find an expert to talk about the geomagnetic changes and static electricity causing corpse spasms?
Which expert would lie with his eyes open like this? Isn’t he afraid of being beaten to death?
The clients who come to Lupin all have some strength and connections.

In addition to the dead being dishonest, there are some other strange events.

The most common ones are supernatural events caused by certain objects.

The haunted house is one of a kind.

Strange things began to happen in many old houses and manors in London.

There were people talking and coughing in the middle of the night, clinking sounds of cutlery and knives and forks, and the next day it was discovered that the portrait had been moved.

Although they were all minor matters and nothing serious had happened, this magical phenomenon caused by the gradual increase in magic power was also a big problem.

Moreover, the accumulation of magic power will give birth to some magical creatures, or attract some magical creatures.

The value of old houses in London is falling sharply now, and the big landowners in the suburbs are selling their houses. No one is immune to the falling house prices!!!
Some are antiques.

As for Britain, it was once the country where the sun never set and it plundered the whole world.

There are so many good things here, from all over the world.

And these old things now have problems.

Things like soul-calling mirrors, soul-hiding bottles, human-skin drums, Buddha heads, statues of gods, ancient paintings, etc.

In short, during this period, Lupin almost became an exorcist detective. His business was greatly expanded, which attracted more people to ask him for help, and he became more and more unable to leave.

It feels like the clear boundary between the wizarding world and Muggle society is blurring.

And just today, Lupin took on a big job.

Lupin even contacted Ted, and as soon as Ted heard the news, he came over to see for himself.

Come over and take a look - Oh my god, Ron~
It felt like someone was being scammed on a yacht, and when they got off the yacht they saw it was Yuan Hua, the Tidal Sea Spirit.

The young man in front of him looked quite like Ron in his twenties.

He also has red hair and single eyelids, and looks a little melon-shaped, but very miserable.

Ted felt that if Ron didn't do well, he would probably look like this in his twenties.

The young man's name was Walter. He came here rashly after he overheard someone mention Lupin's name.

And keep pestering me!

More importantly, he looks a lot like Ron and also has red hair.

So Lupin asked Ted to come and see what was going on.

But after hearing his story, Ted and Lupin both felt that it was not that simple.

It turned out that Walter had a twin sister, but she died of illness when she was ten years old.

At that time, Walter saw his sister's soul being sucked into a door behind a bush...

He had originally thought that he was hallucinating, but there were too many strange things during this period. Plus, he had been brooding over it for so many years, so he pondered over it everywhere.

Finally, he got a potion called "Golden Water" from a down-and-out homeless man from Eastern Europe. After drinking it, he really saw a door and met his ten-year-old sister in a dead and silent world full of dead trees.

But he woke up soon, he didn't believe it was a dream, so he continued to investigate and found an old house.

The old building was built about 300 years ago. It is said that a witch once lived here. Later, the witch was hanged and her body disappeared...

He stayed there for one night and encountered strange things.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He ran out and met a street painter. He saw himself and the house in her painting.

"Ginara said she could use paintings to predict what was going to happen... She said I would be killed by that witch, but there was a glimmer of hope, find a detective..." Walter looked at Lupin.

Ted looked at Lupin and said, "Let's go and see for ourselves. If he really has the gift of prophecy, it would be a good thing to bring him back."

The three soon found the female painter, Ginara, a street performer with curly hair.

She was a little excited to see Ted and the other man, as if she knew something was up, but she didn't know what it was.

Ted identified it as a level 3 prophecy.

Really talented!
You can try to bring it back to the wizarding world and let Professor Trelawney train it.

As for this Walter…I want to see what kind of witch he is.

……

A wild black witch who had not received any magical education moved to the suburbs of London to study the art of immortality, or resurrection. She was found hanged by villagers while stealing a corpse.

Her body was stolen by her magical pet, a human-faced rat, and sealed in the attic of the old house.

From then on, the soul was preserved in this old house.

It’s also because there is no demolition team here, otherwise it would have lasted another three hundred years. You’re lucky that this house has survived for fifty years!
A bulldozer will flatten it for you in the middle of the night!
The special circumstances of Walter and his sister make them the key to open the Limbo.

Limbo is a place where mortals reside after death in Christianity. In the original Catholic teachings, it refers to the area between heaven and hell, where souls who have not been sentenced but are not blessed to live in heaven with God stay.

It is considered the gap between the human world and the underworld, a transit station for souls.

But some special souls are easily stuck here, unable to move forward.

Ghosts in the magical world and this wild witch who has sealed her soul in a house are all special cases.

This witch had a bizarre idea: to use a sacrificial ritual to exchange someone else's death for her own resurrection.

According to her research, this world has many dimensions, and the human world is just one of them. To go to other dimensions, you need some special "keys"!
The black witch is not a problem, [Earthbound Evil Spirit·Black Tree Witch Mason], is only level 8.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be controlled. But in front of Lupin and Ted, he was just little Karami.

It took Ted less than a minute to break through the simple black magic protection, find her body, and cremate it directly.

Oh, and by the way, there's also her dead rat.

This magical pet, which was transformed by black magic, has a high IQ, can speak, and even use magic power, is quite creative.

Ted decided to transform Little Mouse. He had to learn to speak, right? He couldn't be worse than a wild witch's pet!
What Ted and Lupin really care about is the Limbo.

With the help of witch research materials and the ready-made twin keys, Ted opened the door - a triangular door frame made of vines, with fluorescent light flashing inside.

Ted even ventured out for a walk around, and sure enough, there were a lot of lost souls repeating meaningless behaviors.

These people were not bad enough, nor did they have any faith to guide them. More importantly, they were confused or afraid when they died, so they could not move on and stayed here.

Ted brings back Walter's sister, a soul who is not yet completely lost.

However, she couldn't stay in this world. That was definitely not a good choice.

Even with little Buddy, oh, now Anderson, Ted was going to move on after letting him get his revenge.

It’s best not to touch things like resurrection.

In the Deathly Hallows, the second brother used the Resurrection Stone to resurrect his fiancée, but ended up committing suicide.

Although he was unable to revive his sister, Walter's knot was finally untied when he saw that his sister was finally free and able to move on.

Ted patted Walter who was crying bitterly and said, "Don't be sad. These things are not good for you. Go back and draw a pentagram on the ground, put a brazier on it, burn sage, mugwort, hyssop, rosemary and a pinch of salt, and step over it to remove the bad luck on you!"

"Come on, we'll meet again." Ted saw that he and the curly-haired female painter, Ginara, had some affinity.

And if the female painter herself were to be brought into contact with magic by the magic world, then there would be a chance for the two to meet.

……

"Ted, there really is a limbo in this world. So, hell and heaven must also exist, right?" Lupin asked with some confusion.

Ted shook his head. “I don’t know if there is a heaven or a hell. But I know there is a place where people go after death.”

In the original book, there are many strange things hidden in the Department of Mysteries, some of which are too strange even for wizards.

Among them is a door known as the "Door Behind the Veil," which leads to the realm of the dead.

It is said that if you lift the curtain you can hear whispers.

Sirius was hit by Bella's melon and his body fell into the door and could never be found again.
