The mastermind behind Hogwarts

"Alright, now we have nothing to worry about."

In the crowd, someone uttered these words in a daze.

This had an immediate and positive effect on the people of Hogwarts.

"Fight for the light!"

"Fight! Fire, Hogwarts!"

The low murmurs eventually transformed into a surging wave:

"Defeat him! Defeat him!"

Someone started singing the school song.

Just like the song sung at the end of the freshman orientation—with various scores and various tunes.

When Moriarty looked back at the people closely associated with the school, the sound of the school song seemed to drown out the mountains, leaving only the song between heaven and earth.

After the school song was sung, people spontaneously returned to the castle, carrying with them the courage of Gryffindor, the kindness of Hufflepuff, the wisdom of Ravenclaw, and the shrewdness of Slytherin.

"After Professor McGonagall and Zhang Tianxue return, close the main gate."

Moriarty instructed Hagrid, and Hagrid, along with Marcus and others, to guard the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid's face was covered in tears. He nodded vigorously. After Moriarty and the others returned to the castle, Hagrid stood guard beneath it, just like the stone block.

About an hour later.

Zhang Tianxue and the others returned to the castle.

"My lord~" Zhang Tianxue hugged Moriarty tightly. "I heard from them that you've confirmed the true identity of Light?"

"My thinking is mostly correct," Moriarty said slowly. "That's why I need everyone's strength. If I were to fight the light alone, I might not be a match for it."

A hint of worry appeared in Zhang Tianxue's beautiful eyes; she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Even Moriarty, whom she saw as a god descended from heaven, could be no match for light.

"Don't worry, my husband~" Zhang Tianxue took Moriarty's hand and said, "No matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Moriarty smiled gently, about to speak, but was interrupted by a rock-and-roll cell phone ringtone.

"It's Jericho."

Moriarty knew who it was just by the ringtone.

As expected, Jericho's voice rang out when I answered the phone.

"We found no trace of light or Gamp in the Vatican."

Moriarty's eyes narrowed slightly. If Light and Gump were not in the Vatican, it meant that Light was heading towards Hogwarts and Gump was heading towards the Ministry of Magic!

So Moriarty said to Jericho, "Continue to observe, and once you're sure no one is around, erase all traces of light and Gamp."

"Just you wait and see," Jericho said calmly. "I'm hanging up now."

Moriarty told Lilith that Gamp was on his way to the Ministry of Magic and told her to be careful.

On the other end of the phone.

Vatican.

Jericho was fully armed.

They were equipped with brand-new gear from the most elite squad in the Muggle world.

The same goes for his team members.

William, Leon, Soldaya, the Weasley brothers, Cedric, Draco, and Lionheart.

Also joining us were Principal Dawn, Taylor, Brian, Thomas, and James, who had traveled from afar.

They hid in a small, dark room. Jericho and William were observing the outside world, while Leon used the Patronus Charm to scout out the enemy.

Lionheart's face looked as if he had swallowed a turd, and he fiddled with his black bulletproof vest.

"Why should I wear this stupid thing? What can it protect us from? Jericho, are you expecting light or Gump to fire bullets at us?"

Even in the enemy's stronghold, the Weasley brothers were still laughing and joking: "That's what I think. Gump is an old fogey; maybe he'll just keep up with the times."

“That’s right, times have changed, my benefactor,” Fred said, moving closer to Lionheart. “If you want more technology, why not invest in us, the Weasley Magical Technology Labs?”

Soldaya glanced at the Weasley brothers curiously: "You went to Denmark just for this?"

"In fact, we were arranged by Mr. Moriarty to collaborate with Minister Lockhart and Professor Nicolas Flamel on certain products," George explained.

"Like this," Fred said, pulling out something that looked like a grenade, "if you throw this, it will petrify everything in a wide area. Yeah, the area is about the size of Draco's old house."

Draco: "Heh."

"So, this bulletproof vest might just save your life," George said to Lionheart.

"That's enough chit-chat," Jericho suddenly turned around and announced their findings: "The entire population of the Vatican is holed up in their homes, and the Papacy seems to have vanished into thin air."

"Clearly," William said softly, "there's something fishy going on inside; it might be a trap."

"Cheer up!" Jericho's voice was like that of a marshal about to go into battle. He glanced at his team members. "Principal Dawn and Taylor will stay on the perimeter to provide support. The rest of you will come with me into the Vatican."

Jericho opened the door, pressed the chest area of ​​his bulletproof vest, and activated stealth mode.

Others followed suit, but Lionheart was clumsy, and in the end, it was George who helped him complete this step.

"The whole group becomes invisible." Jericho said with satisfaction, "This is the benefit of combining magic and technology. If the Vatican uses Muggle high-tech methods, such as radar or thermal imaging, they won't be able to see us."

"Do you see that biggest and most magnificent castle?"

"Let's go."

The group rushed into the largest church of the Vatican.

The arches, pillars, walls, window frames, wainscoting, doors, statues... are all exquisitely carved and magnificent. Looking down from above, the azure and gold colors flow everywhere, creating a dazzling and radiant effect.

Strangely, there wasn't a single person there.

"Where did all these believers go?"

Jericho thought to himself, the less people there are, the more dangerous it is.

However, if the investigation is thorough, this undercover operation will have been in vain.

You should know that the Immortal Organization has risen from the ashes!

Jericho would not allow himself to let the Immortal Organization escape any of its hidden tricks in the final battle!

"Invisibility isn't enough. Give yourself a buff," Jericho said directly. "Don't be afraid of being exposed. If I'm not mistaken, everyone here is either dead or saving their ultimate move."

Led by Jericho, the group entered the hall where the Pope was located, where the exquisitely carved stained glass windows were simply mesmerizing.

"There's someone on the throne!" Leon exclaimed, his eyes sharp.

"It's the Pope!" Lionheart exclaimed, familiar with the Pope's attire.

The crowd rushed over and saw that the pope's skin was completely sunken, indicating that he had been dead for a long time.

"Dead!?" Draco exclaimed in surprise. "What if the others are dead too?"

"Good idea, the people of the Vatican applaud you." Jericho scoffed. "What's terrible isn't people dying, but being used by Gamp."

Gampna's dark elemental magic has three magical effects, one of which is turning people into monsters.

A famine-stricken monster, a monster that eats everything.

"If you ask me, it's good that Gamp is using them," Leon said, looking at his companion. "It'll be perfect for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Watch your step!" William suddenly stepped back, but it was too late. A giant pair of hands reached out from the ground!

"bump!"

The floor cracked open, and a giant hand reached out to grab Jericho and his group.

Jericho flew up, grabbing Draco in one hand and Lionheart in the other.

Others used flying brooms, while others simply dodged.

"Didn't they say Hagrid and the giants made a pact? How come the giants are on the opposite side?" Soldaya flew next to Jericho, looking down at the owner of the giant hands.

He is a giant, yet he is not.

It stood deep underground, its entire body black, with two giant hands and long arms that were also black, long and soft, as if made of rubber.

The most terrifying thing was his head, which was covered with a dense array of eyes, mouths, teeth, noses, and ears, growing haphazardly on a face as big as a small car.

"This isn't a giant. This is a monster." Jericho's eyes widened.

"This monster—Gamp has brought the entire Papacy here."
