The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 393 The Girl's Actions

After the Five Threats Tournament was temporarily suspended, outsiders were allowed to enter Magic Canyon, and Dumbledore and the professors rushed in.

Inside, they saw players such as Tonks, Furong, Brian, and Michaela battling against the Quanmu Brothers and Naruko.

The three students from Japan almost single-handedly overwhelmed the students from the other four schools!

The professors noticed something unusual about the Japanese athletes; they had all been controlled by Yuzuru Kafu.

Dumbledore used a spell to control them, and the others found the unconscious Tokugawa Yua at the Japanese base.

But they still couldn't find Moriarty, Jericho, or Violet.

Even the most oblivious person would realize something was wrong at this point.

Moreover, Auror, who was sent to find Hanyu Kafu, returned and said that Hanyu Kafu was still nowhere to be found.

The news spread rapidly throughout Hogwarts, and students, professors, Ministry of Magic officials, and members of the Board of Governors were all worried about the three missing athletes.

At this moment, Lockhart discovered traces of Moriarty's use of water elemental magic and found the remains of Nine, causing another wave of panic.

Fudge's face turned pale. His worst fears had come true: a murder had occurred during the Five Schools League!

In order to keep his position, Fudge called Dumbledore and Lockhart aside and begged them to find out who was behind the series of events.

Dumbledore is the most famous wizard, and arguably the most powerful wizard in the world.

Lockhart is currently enjoying great popularity, and he gives the impression of being an anti-dark magic fighter.

Moreover, Fudge valued Lockhart's influence in Europe and America, and the public's perception of Lockhart was quite positive.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why Fudge pleaded with Dumbledore and Lockhart.

He was under immense pressure. First, four children from pure-blood families went missing, then a student from Japan died mysteriously, and now three students from Slytherin House have also disappeared!

Fudge was so worried that his hair was thinning even more.

Dumbledore nodded, saying only that he would wait for his message, and then disappeared into the Forbidden Forest.

With him gone, the group was leaderless, and Lockhart stepped up at the crucial moment.

He only mentioned parts of the plan Moriarty had arranged for him, not the whole thing, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

It's inappropriate to say that Lockhart told people about the magic of Moriarty and that Moriarty was fighting a Japanese dark wizard right after Moriarty went missing.

Lockhart said he had long suspected that Hanyu Kafu's motives were impure.

He said a reader sent him a letter saying that the magical world of Japan was entering a dark age.

Fudge grasped at Lockhart's words as a lifeline and hurriedly ordered the Aurors to keep a close watch on the professors and students of the magic institute.

Yuan Gu protested vehemently, but was opposed by the three principals, Fukichi and others.

While the school administration and the Ministry of Magic were discussing countermeasures, Moriarty's women spontaneously gathered together.

It was Mrs. Malfoy who first sought out Diana on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest and wept for her.

Her son Draco is missing, and Moriarty, who recently promised her a stay at Slytherin Castle, has also vanished.

Lady Malfoy was heartbroken and wept on Diana's shoulder.

Diana's mental fortitude was far superior to that of ordinary wizards. Even though she was anxious and worried about Moriarty, she was still able to comfort Madame Malfoy while sending small animals to search for Moriarty's whereabouts.

However, once Diana left Avalon and entered human society, her abilities were somewhat limited.

Diana grew worried as Moriarty remained missing.

However, the arrival of Tonks and Fleur made Diana believe Lockhart's words.

Tonks said that Moriarty went to deal with Nine, but now that Nine is dead and Moriarty has disappeared, it means that Moriarty has gone to pursue a new enemy.

Hanyu Kafu has also disappeared, so they believe that Moriarty went to Hanyu Kafu.

This explanation quickly gained acceptance, and in connection with the children's disappearance, the Ministry of Magic initially determined that Hanyu Kafu was the prime suspect.

Discovering that Tonks and Fleur might have more clues, Penelope and Gemma also arrived, with Penelope even bringing Cho Chang along.

Lilith also arrived, but she didn't show herself; she eavesdropped on their conversation from behind an oak tree.

Lilith wondered if it was possible that Yu Sheng He Feng had already left Hogwarts, since she had searched the entire castle but could not find him.

Is it possible that Moriarty, Jericho, and Violet also left the school?

There are several secret passages leading out of Hogwarts, and then there's the Room of Requirement.

Lilith decided to start her investigation with the House of Requirement.

She knew that if Hanyu Kafu left through the Room of Requirement or the secret passage, he would definitely erase all traces.

Ordinary wizards cannot find any trace of it even using revealing spells, ending spells, or tracking spells.

But Lilith is different.

Lilith's eyes were filled with determination.

Since the enemy can erase the traces of magic, then we won't use magic!

She chose the most basic search method.

Lilith went to the House of Requirement and gathered all her magic.

"Human body deformation!"

The magic instantly dispersed throughout Lilith's body, altering her physical form.

Lilith felt her bones and organs melting as if on fire, and every piece of flesh being cut into pieces!

Then, a bone-chilling cold, as if falling into an ice cave, made me tremble all over.

She wanted to transform herself completely into a snake!

Previously, the changes were only partial, such as the arms and mouth. The white scales that Moriarty had seen on Lilith were snake scales.

Now Lilith is about to complete this human transformation, which carries deadly risks, but Lilith doesn't care.

Despite the excruciating torment, Lilith gritted her teeth and remained silent, but she could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground, curling up in pain.

After ten minutes of torture, Lilith still managed to stay conscious, when suddenly the snake's consciousness began to take over Lilith's consciousness.

Lilith lay on the ground and struggled, writhing and crawling like a snake, beginning to possess the abilities and consciousness of a snake.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Sticking out her tongue, a snake's hiss rang out from Lilith's mouth; the snake's consciousness had taken over Lilith's mind!

The limbs and organs quickly disappeared, turning into the muscles and tissues of a snake, and the flawless white skin became shiny snake scales.

A white snake appeared, but Lilith seemed to have lost herself.

The last vestige of consciousness is Moriarty, his appearance, his words, his every move...

Lilith's thoughts gradually returned.

She opened her mouth to an exaggerated angle, no longer making hissing sounds, and managed to utter a few words.

"I am Lilith Pilivik!"

"He's Moriarty's classmate."

"I've come to see Moriarty."

"I am not a snake!"

Lilith's magic has returned, and a serpentine magical creature that has never appeared before has emerged.

Lilith's unwavering belief in finding Moriarty grants her a new ability: superhuman perception.

Lilith, who had transformed into a snake, also caught Violet's scent!

Yes, Yuzuru Kafu was very careful; he erased all traces when he took Draco and the other three children away.

However, Violet is a vampire. While wizards might not be able to detect her scent, it is far too obvious for serpentine magical creatures.

Lilith not only discovered that Violet had passed through the Room of Requirement, but also that Violet had reunited with another vampire after leaving Hogwarts.

At that time, Violet followed Moriarty's instructions, went out of the Room of Requirement, found Queen Ventura, and went to the banquet together.

Lilith sped along this route toward Malfoy Manor!

In the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, Dumbledore finally emerged amidst everyone's anticipation.

Surprisingly, a group of centaurs emerged alongside Dumbledore.

A group of horses surrounded a beautiful female horsewoman.

Or perhaps, a beautiful centaur.

The wizards were at a loss for words and stared blankly.

Hagrid scratched his head. "I've been to all the centaur tribes in the Forbidden Forest. When did such beautiful centaurs appear?"

Feeling Mrs. Mamaxim's piercing gaze instantly, Hagrid shrank back and stopped talking.

Dumbledore summoned Fawkes, and the phoenix grabbed his shoulder and flew away.

The centaur then took off running on all fours, dashing out of the forbidden forest like the wind.

The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

People were stunned, not understanding what they were going to do. Diana, in the crowd, stared at the centaur until she disappeared.

She turned her head, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing: Who exactly is she? Why do I have this strange feeling?

That's right, it's her aura!

The female centaur has a completely different temperament from ordinary centaurs like Ferenze.

The Ferencians and their ilk treated the centaurs just like ordinary elves treated Diana!

Diana's eyes lit up; she vaguely guessed the centaur's identity.

Based on the centaur and Dumbledore's departure, Diana deduced that they were on their way to find Moriarty.

After returning and offering a few words of comfort to Lady Malfoy and the other women, Diana also headed in the direction the centaur had gone.

This happened an hour ago, and now the centaur and Dumbledore have arrived in Wiltshire.

Seeing the ever-growing black light along the way, they became even more convinced that they had come to the right place.

During this time, seeing Lillian being thrown away, the centaur and Dumbledore increased their speed even further.

When they arrived at Malfoy Manor, it was just as Ye Jingyu was being locked into Merlin's mental dimension.

But Merlin couldn't hold on any longer; he was ultimately not the god of magic, Merlin.

An endless darkness swept across the sky, staining Merlin's mental dimension like ink.

Ye Jingyu laughed heartily. He had occupied the brain dimension space, which was filled with evil thoughts and famine.

Merlin has turned into a monster!

His remaining consciousness compelled him to utter his last words: "This is all I can do for you, Slytherin! Lillian..."

"Bang!"

Merlin exploded.

Nightfall reappeared, its immense magical power almost suffocating Moriarty.

Now he's all alone!

Moriarty gritted his teeth and persevered. Nightfall's greatest strength lay in his dark consciousness and negative emotions. He could not be defeated by evil thoughts and hunger!

"You won't defeat me!"

Moriarty said, "I've beaten you once, and I can beat you again!"

Ye Jingyu laughed arrogantly: "Back in the City of Floating Waves, you were only facing one of my pets. Now, you're facing me, the real me!"

Countless black lights nearly engulfed Moriarty, rendering his water and wind magic completely ineffective.

Just then, the centaur and Dumbledore arrived.

Suddenly, a long spear appeared in the centaur's hand, its tip resembling a sword. Gripping the spear, the centaur forcefully stomped on the ground with her limbs, jumped up, and steadily plunged the spearhead into Ye Jingyu's back!

It hit right in the heart!

"what!"

Ye Jingyu shouted and turned around in disbelief.

He had a dark light protecting his body to prevent sneak attacks, so why would the centaur stab him in the heart?

"Who are you?"

Ye Jingyu glared angrily at the centaur woman, only to find that she was a complete stranger.

He hurled a beam of black light at the centaur.

The centaur woman held a round shield in her other hand, which was printed with patterns of flowers, plants and trees, and easily neutralized the black light.

Raising her shield, the centaur said coolly, "I am Polly."

"I've been keeping an eye on your organization for a long time."

(As suggested by Elder He Jiajun, a new character has appeared, but she is not the female lead. Character illustrations have been uploaded to the chapter comments and discussion forum. Comments are welcome.)
