Lupine was very busy during this time.
It's the Muggle world.
His detective agency originally wanted to close down.
After all, he has returned to normal and can return to the magical world.
Not to mention that he is passionately in love with his young girlfriend Tonks and plans to get married in the next two years.
But I didn’t expect it, no!
The business here suddenly skyrocketed!
Originally, one order in three days was considered too much, but during this period, fifteen orders were made in a day!
Originally, he didn't want to take it. After all, it wasn't to make money.
However, most of these surveys are a little weird!
Just investigating the dead bodies alone accounts for more than half of the work!
For example, this job I received in the morning - the client's father died last night. He was in his seventies and was in poor health. He watched TV on the sofa and left silently at night. It can be considered a blessing.
However, something terrible happened.
The body that was clearly lying in the coffin disappeared!
After working all morning, Lupine and his assistant found the body in the woods a few kilometers away.
Moreover, this corpse was brought here by himself overnight!
Yes, Ryan caused such a natural disaster of the undead in Paris. Although it was unsuccessful, it was unknown which string in the world was disturbed. Now there is an imbalance in the world of the living and the dead.
After death, many souls cannot automatically return to the underworld and will remain in the human world.
These newly dead souls are full of doubts. Many of them don't know that they are dead. Some will completely dissipate and disappear due to environmental problems, and some will turn into evil things for various reasons.
If there are still souls that have not left the body, they will control the body and run away~
This phenomenon is most serious in Paris. It is said that some people take the train and travel hundreds of kilometers directly!
In the past two weeks, it has spread to neighboring countries. Naturally, good neighbors who have been good for a century cannot be left behind.
All cemeteries in London are now patrolled by a team of seven or eight people.
If any of the buried people didn't climb out honestly, they would be knocked down with a shovel, tied up and cremated directly.
In short, the entire Muggle world is numb.
Governments around the world are now worried about losing their hair - how can they explain this kind of thing to the public?
Find an expert to talk about geomagnetic changes and corpse convulsions caused by static electricity?
Which expert tells lies with his eyes wide open, and isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?
The customers who found Lu Ping all had some strength and connections.
In addition to the dead people being dishonest, there are also some other strange events.
The most common ones are supernatural events caused by certain items.
Haunted houses are one of them.
Strange things began to happen in many old houses and manor houses in London.
There was someone talking and coughing in the middle of the night, there was the clink of cutlery and knives and forks, and the next day I found that the portrait had moved.
Although it is still a small matter and nothing serious, this kind of magical phenomenon that occurs due to the gradual increase in magic power is also a big problem.
Moreover, the accumulation of magic power will give birth to some magical creatures, or attract some magical creatures.
Nowadays, the price of old houses in London has dropped sharply, and large landowners in the suburbs are buying houses. No one is immune to the fall in house prices! ! !
Others are due to antiques.
Great Britain, once the sun never set, plundered the whole world.
There are so many good things here, from all over the world.
And these old things also have problems now.
Soul-calling mirrors, soul-hiding bottles, human skin drums, Buddha heads, statues, ancient paintings, etc.
Anyway, during this time, Lupine almost became an exorcism detective. The business has been greatly expanded, but more people have come to him for help, and they are increasingly unable to leave.
It feels like the clear boundaries between the wizarding world and Muggle society are blurring.
And just today, Lu Ping took on a big job.
Lupine even contacted Ted, who came to see him as soon as he heard the news.
Come and take a look - I'm Cao, Ron~
It felt quite like a yacht being tampered with, and when I got down, I saw that it was Yuan Hua, the Tide Sea Spirit.
The young man in front of me looks very much like Ron in his twenties.
He also has red hair, single eyelids, and looks a bit melancholy, but very downtrodden.
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 found him rashly after he overheard someone mentioning Lupine's name.
And they are stalking!
What's more, he looks a lot like Ron, and he also has red hair.
So Lupine asked Ted to see the excitement.
But after hearing his story, both Ted and Lupine felt that it was not 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...
Originally, he thought he was hallucinating these years, but there were too many weird things during this time.
In addition, he had been worried about it for so many years, so he thought about it everywhere.
Finally, I got a potion called "golden water" from the hand of a down-and-out homeless man from Eastern Europe. After drinking it, I actually saw a door and met my ten-year-old sister in a dead world full of dead trees.
But soon he woke up and didn't believe it was a dream. So I continued to investigate and found an old house.
The old building was built about three hundred years ago. It is said that a witch once lived there. 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 frightened he became. He ran out and met a street painter and saw himself and the house in her painting.
"Jinara said she could use the paintings to predict what was going to happen... She said I would be killed by the witch, but there is a chance of survival. Find a detective..." Walter looked at Lupin.
Ted looked at Lupine: "Let's go and see it. If you really have the gift of prophecy, it would be a good thing to take it back."
The three of them soon found the female painter Jinara, a street performer with curly hair.
She was a little excited to see Ted and the two, as if she knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was.
Ted appraised it, level 3 prophecy.
Sure enough, he has talent!
You can try to bring him back to the magical world and let Professor Trelawney train him.
As for this Walter... I want to see some sort of witch.
…
A wild black witch who had no magical education moved to the suburbs of London to study the art of immortality, or resurrection. While stealing the body, he was found hanged by the villagers.
Her body was stolen by her demon pet, a human-faced rat, and sealed in the attic of the old house.
Since then, the soul has been preserved in this old house.
It's no wonder there is no demolition team here, otherwise it will take three hundred years. If this house can survive fifty years, you are considered a good person!
A forklift will bulldoze it for you in the middle of the night!
The special circumstances of Walter and his sister make them the key to Limbo.
Limbo is a place believed in Christianity to be where mortals live after death. In the original Catholic doctrine, it refers to the area between heaven and hell, where those who have not been punished but are not blessed to live with God in heaven The soul stays here.
It can be regarded as the gap between the human world and the underworld, a transit station for souls.
But some special souls are easily stuck here and cannot get up or down.
Ghosts like those in the magical world, like this wild witch who seals their souls into the house, are all considered special circumstances.
And this witch had a whimsical idea, using the sacrifice ceremony to exchange the death of others for her own resurrection.
According to her research, there are many dimensions in this world, and the human world is only one of them. If you want to go to other spaces, 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 pinched. But in front of Lupine and Ted, it was little Karami.
Ted broke through the simple black magic protection in less than a minute, found her body, and cremated her directly.
Oh, yes, and her dead human-faced rat.
This kind of magical pet transformed by black magic, with high IQ, the ability to speak, and even the ability to use magic power is quite creative.
Ted decided to reform Little Mouse, he had to learn to speak, right? It can't be worse than a wild witch's pet!
What Ted and Lupine really care about is Limbo.
Using the witch's research information and the ready-made twin keys, Ted opened the door - a triangular door frame made of tree vines, with fluorescent lights shining inside.
Ted even ventured around, and sure enough there were a lot of confused souls repeating meaningless behaviors.
These people were not bad enough and had no faith to guide them. More importantly, they were confused or afraid when they died, so they could not continue on and stayed here.
Ted brings back Walter's sister, a soul that is not completely lost.
However, she cannot stay in this world. That's definitely not a good choice.
Even Barty Jr., oh, now named Anderson, Ted was going to move on after letting him get his revenge.
It's best not to touch things like resurrection.
In Deathly Hallows, the second child used the Resurrection Stone to resurrect his fiancée, and ended up committing suicide.
Although there was no way to resurrect his sister, Walter's heart knot was finally untied when he saw that his sister was finally free and able to move on.
Ted patted the crying Walter, "Don't be sad. These things are not good for you. Go back and draw a five-pointed star on the ground, put a brazier on it, and burn sage and mugwort. Wormwood, hyssop, rosemary and a pinch of salt, step over it and it will remove any bad luck from you!”
"Come on, we will meet again." Ted saw that he and the curly female painter Jinara were somewhat related.
And if the female painter herself is brought to the magic world to be exposed to magic, there will still be a chance for the two to meet.
…
"Ted, there really is Limbo in this world. So, hell and heaven must also exist, right?" Lupine asked with some confusion.
Ted shook his head: "I don't know if there is heaven and hell. But I know that there must be the underworld where death goes."
In the original books, the Department of Mysteries contains many strange things, things that are too strange even for wizards.
Among them is a door, known as the "door behind the curtain", which leads to the kingdom of the dead.
It is said that whispers can be heard when the curtain is lifted.
And Sirius was hit by Bella chewing a big melon, and his body fell into the door and could never be found again.
