Chapter 252 Panlong Dungeon
Xellin's figure appeared in the suitcase space.
Buckbeak flew among the clouds in the sky. He looked at the huge and silent space and sighed.
I don't know how Yin Ya is doing now?
In his previous life, Xie Lin disobeyed his parents' wishes and insisted on investing in his adventure. He only met his parents once a year during the New Year. He had no true friends, no partner to build a family together, and his feelings for people were very weak.
He was so lucky in this life.
He had parents who loved him;
Although his brother had different ideas from him and had been jealous, they finally made peace;
He had confidantes, and more than one;
He cherished these hard-earned emotions and relationships, even though he never showed them easily.
From the moment he made up his mind to revive his family during the summer vacation after the end of the first grade, he disguised himself as an iron-blooded strongman. Only at this moment when no one was around could he take off his disguise and reveal his melancholy.
He sorted out his mood and walked under an old locust tree. The tree was lush and shady, and there were silky green grasses growing under the tree. The fragrance was strong and lingering, and people felt relaxed and happy after taking a breath.
Xie Ling drew out his magic wand and chanted loudly to the air: "Splash ink to become a dragon!" A thick ink mist sprayed out from the end of the magic wand. As Xie Ling's magic wand shook and pulled, it slowly turned into a black dragon with its fangs and claws bared. The dragon's body and claws faintly revealed a sharp luster, but the most noticeable thing was that the two eye sockets of the black dragon were empty.
The black dragon floated in the sky, like a dark smoke. It circled under the locust tree and coiled its body around the trunk until its tail came out and it was completely coiled on the trunk of the old locust tree.
Xie Lin gently tapped the eye socket of the black dragon with his magic wand and whispered, "Open the eyes of the black dragon." Eyes grew out of the eye socket of the black dragon, as if it suddenly came alive. It hummed softly, and the dragon body that was trapped in the trunk of the old locust tree began to rotate.
Driven by the black dragon, the locust tree slowly rotated, like a wheel bearing, turning one, two, three times, until it turned nine times, and a subtle tinkling sound came from the ground. The locust tree moved westward with the soil, and the earth opened a big hole, revealing the stone steps leading to the bottomless.
Xie Lin walked down the stone steps.
In the dungeon.
Although it was a basement, it did not feel dark and damp at all, but was baked warm.
With the sound of Xie Lin's footsteps, his figure appeared in the dungeon.
Hector Fly, who had lost both legs, was tied to a spider web. The spider web was attached with magic, which could absorb the magic power of the wizard, making him unable to cast any magic. At this moment, his face was pale and bloodless, and his sunken eye sockets and dry hair and skin showed how weak he was. He closed his eyes and moaned there, not noticing Sherin's arrival at all.
Lushida Slahorn's hands were shackled with black iron, and the iron chain connected to the ceiling was hung high. Her eye sockets were slightly black, her eyes were a little dull, and there were traces of saliva at the corners of her mouth. When she saw Sherin's appearance, her body twitched slightly, as if she remembered something terrible.
Sherin had already emptied the memories of the four captives.
According to the memories he obtained, Hector and Lushida were the chief and deputy leaders of the Ghost Society. After Voldemort's fall, they used the black magic inheritance left by Voldemort to the Ghost Society to lure and recruit talented Slytherin wizards, and trained them into confidants. After they graduated, they were absorbed into several families that controlled the Ghost Society and became the helpers and resources of these families.
No wonder Sherin was targeted by them in his second year, and then there was the Slytherin Civil War.
Sherin had also captured the names of the families that controlled the Ghost Society from their memories - Foley, Slughorn, Selwyn, Yaxley, Travers, and Avery. These families were all accomplices of Lucius who participated in the Death Eaters. Several people took over Lord Voldemort's legacy, but they missed the Malfoy family. It seems that they did it intentionally.
Clearly jealous of the Malfoy family's wealth and power, these six families united to exclude the Malfoy family and tried to suppress the growth of the Malfoy family.
Thinking of this, Sherin sneered. It is your business to monopolize the Ghost Society. As the same holy 28 pure-blood families, everyone is always a person of the same social class. There is no need to make enemies, but you should never provoke me, Sherin.
Schelling is not a cruel and bloodthirsty Dark Lord. Compared with using force or violence to eliminate enemies, Schelling prefers to turn enemies into friends, recruit talents and convert enemies into his own camp.
In Schelling's original plan, the Ghost Club, which is almost composed of prefects or elite students, is also a target he wants to recruit. Unfortunately, they violated Schelling's bottom line-
When Schelling first entered school, he didn't have many friends, especially except for students of the same grade in Slytherin. In fact, the only ones who could really talk to him were Cassius Warrington and Gemma Farley who participated in the Merlin Tournament. Gemma was interested in him, and Schelling knew it. This is why when he went to a date alone, he had no guard against Gemma, and was easily attacked by the latter.
However, Xie Lin knew that he had the Philosopher's Stone as a back-up. When he pretended to be injured and talked to Gemma, he discovered that Gemma actually had very complicated emotions towards him——
He figured it out afterward. Gemma's mood was probably that, since things had to be done, she was willing to take action herself so that the situation and the damage could be under her control. And she also took advantage of Xie Lin's excuse to give Xie Lin a lot of useful information.
Therefore, he no longer holds grudge against her.
To be honest, Gemma's family is just a farmer. Xie Lin wants to deal with her family in various ways. Even if it is not convenient to take action on the surface because of the restrictions, secretly it is given to her in the economic, business, and political circles. How difficult can it be for a family to be a stumbling block? He just couldn't bring himself to do it and didn't want to do it.
When he heard the news of Gemma's death, he had to say that he was sad in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Therefore, Xie Lin will never forgive the culprit who killed Gemma!
It was Lucida Slahorn who made the plan to kill Gemma; it was Hector Foley who led the men to ambush Gemma.
That's why Xie Lin wanted to give these two people an unforgettable punishment.
Instead of killing them, he promised to spare their lives as long as they followed Schelling's instructions so that Schelling could squeeze more value out of them——
As a result, there were extremely evil new species such as the man-eating vines, cursed demons and so on in the laboratory.
As for the remaining two prisoners, Irina Selwyn and Miles Blige, they are not actually core members of the Ghost Society. Their families have some connections with the Ghost Society. For example, the Selwyn family branch to which Irina belongs is closely related to the Selwyn family branch that controls the Ghost Society.
It can be said that sooner or later they will be absorbed into the organization by the Ghost Society, but it has not happened yet.
Since they were not members of the Ghost Society and had no direct relationship with Gemma's death, Xie Lin was not a stingy person, so he had no intention of taking the matter out on the two of them.
