The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 388 Blood and Flesh

The voice entered Moriarty's heart, and a vague image appeared in his mind. He felt that the voice was familiar.

I remembered.

The Princess Consort!

A flash of inspiration seemed to strike Moriarty's mind.

Isn't this Violet's mother, the actual ruler of the Ventura clan, the Princess?

Why is she here too?

That's right, she knows Yuzuru Kafu...

It turns out that Ye Jingyu and the Van Zhuo vampire clan already knew each other.

Moriarty figured it out and woke up. He got up and felt wet, his hair damp with some kind of sticky liquid.

Moriarty opened his eyes and looked around, and suddenly felt a pang of panic!

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

His heart raced. Moriarty was used to death and bloodshed, but the scene before him startled him.

Although he was standing on the ground, Moriarty stood in blood, the crimson blood turning the surroundings into a blood-red lake.

The water was quite deep, reaching above Moriarty's calves, and emitted a nauseating stench of decay and fishiness.

The surrounding environment was like entering hell, with Moriarty surrounded by chunks of flesh.

Fragmented and covered in blood.

Large amounts of bones floated on the surface of the blood lake.

Skull, ribs, leg bones...

Moriarty was an expert in this field and quickly recognized that they were all human bones!

That is to say...

Moriarty looked down and saw that these chunks of flesh were all human flesh!

They turned white from being soaked in blood.

But it's inconspicuous here.

Because several "mountains of flesh" blocked them, along with Moriarty.

To Moriarty's left lay a piece of flesh as big as an elephant, or perhaps it was a dead elephant itself.

The one on the right was much larger; Moriarty couldn't see its head or limbs at a glance.

Or perhaps it has no limbs at all. Moriarty thought it looked familiar, possibly a blue whale from the sea.

Elephant meat, whale meat...

The largest land animals and the largest marine animals on Earth are both here.

Because of their weight, they didn't float up; they fell heavily into the blood.

Remembering Ye Jingyu's earlier mention of "opening the banquet" and "cooking"... Moriarty raised his head, his eyes filled with solemnity.

They...wanted to eat the meat.

Even people...!

Moriarty gritted his teeth, unable to bear looking at the pieces of flesh floating at his feet any longer.

At that moment, he felt a familiar language.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

"Hiss~"

"Hiss, hiss hiss!"

Snake language.

They said it hurt!

They said they were about to die!

There are snakes here, and they are magical snake creatures!

Moriarty looked in one direction.

Although Moriarty couldn't see what was happening elsewhere because of the "mountain of flesh" blocking his view, he knew.

There are snakes here!

They were dying, and after they died, they were eaten by Ye Jingyu.

There might be other magical creatures and wondrous beings as well!

Moreover, Moriarty could sense the aura of dark elemental magic within the flesh.

A corpse floated through the gaps in the flesh to Moriarty's feet.

It was a girl, and she was already dead.

He looks like a high school student from Japan.

His whole body was swollen and pale from being soaked, except for a crack in his mouth.

Slit-mouthed Woman!

The shocking sight made Moriarty clench his fists tightly.

Is this the "blood feast"?

I should have thought of this sooner—

A "black fog" appeared in Japan, causing many ordinary people to mutate.

It was on that occasion that the Slit-Mouthed Woman was born.

So, whether it's the Slit-Mouthed Woman, the Raven, or the magical creature whose body has been invaded by dark elements...

All the dishes were from a blood banquet.

To satisfy one's appetite, one might manipulate others at will?

Moriarty's eyes were filled with burning rage; he had never been so angry before.

At this moment, Moriarty only wanted to tear Ye Jingyu to shreds!

The three magical elements of water, wind, and fire intertwined within Moriarty, yet he was unable to unleash magic.

Moriarty can't do anything about it now!

"Oh, right, the Divine Symbol!"

Suddenly remembering the princess's reminder, Moriarty realized that his inability to use spells was due to those mysterious and strange symbols.

But the platform had already risen, and there was no chance to see the symbols on the wall anymore.

Moriarty felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

What should I do? Am I going to die here?

Without magic, can we get out?

Moriarty looked at the endless sea of ​​blood, and his previously firm belief wavered somewhat.

Thick, fresh blood hindered their progress.

The dark elemental magic hidden within the flesh subtly invades the body and spirit of living beings until they die.

Needless to say—

Outside, the night view is also looming large.

He must have eaten himself as a dish, along with these chunks of meat.

Moriarty clicked his tongue; he had to admit, he'd messed up this time!

Thinking he understood dark elemental magic well enough and was powerful enough, he never expected that dark elemental magic would defy common sense.

Moriarty punched the chunk of flesh beside him; he wasn't going to wait there to die.

But how do we get out?

The Princess Consort?

Will she help me?

Moriarty wasn't sure about that, but he knew Violet wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

Violet was a backup plan she had prepared for herself.

It's also a safety net.

Let's go back 30 minutes...

Violet, Moriarty, and Jericho walked together toward the Nine.

Moriarty suddenly stopped and said to Violet, "If I'm not mistaken, your mother is already near Hogwarts."

"Huh?" Violet's beautiful eyes widened. "Really? I didn't know anything about this."

"Go find her," Moriarty said seriously.

"What?" Violet felt like she couldn't keep up with Moriarty's train of thought.

"We still don't know what Yu Shenghefeng and Ye Jingyu are up to, and that blood banquet is also something I'm very concerned about."

"If we encounter danger—"

Moriarty hesitated, his tone somber.

Hearing this, Violet had a bad feeling. She grabbed Moriarty's robe, buried her head in his chest, and said stubbornly, "I don't want you to be in danger..."

Moriarty softened his tone, pulled Violet into his arms, and said with his head down, "Back then, you were my savior."

"I don't want to!"

Moriarty ignored her and directly instructed, "You can sneak out through the secret passage. Once you're outside Hogwarts, the Prince and Lady will be able to sense you."

"But, but I can't get out of the canyon! This place isn't fun at all," Violet pouted.

"As for this," Moriarty looked meaningfully in the direction of Kuno, "it depends on the situation. I think you can find a chance to slip away."

Moriarty hugged Violet tightly.

Later, Moriarty and Jericho were taken to Malfoy Manor by the Portkey.

Dumbledore promptly paused the match, and Violet seized the opportunity to slip out, escaping Hogwarts through a secret passage.

Just as Moriarty had predicted, the princess and prince found them.

Now, Violet sat on the princess's lap, watching Moriarty together.

Their seats were around the platform.

To ensure guests could fully enjoy their meal, Ye Jing Yu specially arranged 12 seats where they could clearly see everything happening on the platform.

The people in the seats stared greedily at the blood and chunks of flesh on the platform.

It was like seeing a delicious meal.

Moriarty and Jericho were inside, but no one treated them like human beings.

Besides Violet, she shouted, "Moriarty!"

Half of his body peeked out from the princess's arms, as if he wanted to pull Moriarty out.

Hearing Moriarty's name, Ye Jingyu was not surprised at all.

He acted as if he were deaf, not even glancing in the direction of the princess.

"Everyone, it has been ten years since the last blood feast."

"Over the past ten years, under my leadership, the organization's influence in the East... is evident to all, isn't it? Haha!"

Ye Jingyu laughed triumphantly. He beckoned to a piece of meat, and the piece flew to Ye Jingyu's face.

"So, I'm rewarding myself with the first piece of meat. Anyone have a problem with that?"

"Who objects?"

"Who agrees?"

Ye Jingyu glanced sideways at the person in the armchair with a smile.
