Chapter 483 It would be great if Zhu were here too
The approximately seven-foot-long mermaid seemed to be very dissatisfied with the large fish tank. He complained to Newt for a while, and his long fish tail slapped the wall of the tank, splashing a lot of water onto Sun Zhu's clothes.
Sun Zhu, who had lost his robe, was very helpless, but he also discovered that the water did not seem to be ordinary clear water, but more like it was brought directly from the lake where the mermaid lived.
As expected of Newt, an ordinary spell can be played at such an advanced level.
"It would be great if Takeya were here." Newt said nonchalantly: "That way I can know what this Selkie wants to say to me."
Sun Zhu was startled, looked helplessly at the fish tank, and answered in his mind.
"This mermaid is calling you an old liar and saying don't send him away without thinking of a geranium."
"Then, I'll trouble you next." Newt pointed at Alvin who was tied up on the bed, "This kind of black magic can only be solved by your mermaid clan. It needs a little blood from you. I will send more to cultivate it later." Variant plants for you.”
While it may not be clear what the merman's dissatisfaction is, Newt is very good at dealing with magical creatures.
The mermaid no longer slaps the tank wall, but floats on the surface of the water, seemingly making preparations.
Cedric lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. Fiona put her hands on his shoulders and asked, "Are you worried about something? Your classmates will be fine."
"Mom, when I left Hogwarts just now, I didn't have time to tell Zhu. What if she comes to find me later..."
"Oh, are you worried about this problem?" Fiona smiled, "It doesn't matter, it will be over here soon. You can explain it to her when you go back, and she will understand."
Sun Zhu touched his face, hesitating whether to appear directly in front of them.
Isn’t this a bit scary? It felt like she had turned into some kind of summoned beast, and it quickly appeared after someone said a word.
Forget it, she couldn't help but tugged on his hat, but he didn't move, as if he was still struggling.
This small movement was not noticed by others at all, because at this time, the mermaid in the water jumped up and floated in the air, but no more water droplets were splashed.
A drop of crimson liquid fell on Alvin's forehead, and he struggled almost immediately.
The vines that bound him also began to exert force at the same time, twisting out foreign objects that looked like black mist.
Then, the mermaid began to sing, making bursts of syllables that even Sun Zhu couldn't understand at all. Alvin's struggle weakened, but the black mist surged more. Newt quickly drew complex runes in the air with his wand. Fiona turned the wand at the same time, and a string of extremely dazzling golden lines merged into the black mist. , Sun Zhu looked so angry that she didn't dare to express her anger. She just opened her mouth half-open, watching the black mist gradually shrinking, turning into something she was familiar with, but not sure about.
"Is that this kind of thing?" She heard Fiona's hesitant voice, "Just a little bit?"
"Yes, this is the Obscurus. It is still in its primary state." Newt's voice became much more serious. "When I was young, I met a Sudanese girl who became an Obscurus. I tried hard to remove the Obscurus from her body. The separation allowed her to get rid of this uncontrollable pain. Unfortunately, it was too late. I only succeeded in peeling off Obscurus, but failed to save the girl. But after that, I have been conducting research in this area. There are not many obscurants that I can contact and try.”
"This child is already an adult, and the Obscurus was forcibly poured into his body." Fiona said: "It seems controllable, but this makes it even more worrying. Someone can actually control the Obscurus. You can also use it to carry out such vicious attempts."
"There have been dark wizards who have been able to do this a long time ago. Maybe they also succeeded in controlling an Obscurial this time."
"You mean those who escaped..."
"The Aurors lurking in the middle sent back news that they have made many attempts to resurrect the mysterious man. But in order not to be discovered, they have not made much noise." Newt shook his head, "But now they obviously can't hold back anymore. Fortunately, Healer Sandman discovered it in time, and thanks to Ced telling me that you have cultivated many magical plants at home - I first contacted Ms. Pomona, who told me that the Diggory family might be able to help. Busy, and you gave generously without hesitation.”
"They're just some flowers and plants that we keep for fun. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that the mermaid would be interested in them." Fiona looked at Alvin who was sweating profusely on the bed, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him. Face, "If they can help, then these plants can be considered to have exerted their maximum value."
"Not all mermaids have this special hobby." Newt explained, "It just so happens that the Scottish Selkie I know was attacked by water monsters when he existed on the seabed in his early years, and he has been looking for all kinds of poisonous and aggressive creatures. , and the fact that mermaids can help control Obscurus is one of my most reliable attempts in the past.”
The reason for the formation of Obscurus is the dark spiritual power formed by the young wizard's crazy suppression after resisting magic or suffering damage due to magic. The mermaid's song has the ability to soothe the soul, so she will naturally be one of the enemies of the Obscurus. Fortunately, this is a tamed Obscurus - although I don't know how it was tamed or how it was stuffed into Ivan's body.
The only thing that can be foreseen is that if he is not discovered in time, not only will Ivan fall asleep for a long time, but by the time he wakes up, he will probably have been completely assimilated into the Obscurus. At that time, the Obscurus in his body may be controlled by the Death Eaters and attack others crazily.
Wait, Sun Zhu looked at the black mist that had been put into a special container by Newt.
Why was it solved so easily?
Do the Death Eaters have no backup plan? After all, they are in the dark and we are in the light. They should know very well what kind of strength the people here have.
Using the Obscurus is obviously a poisonous move, but it's not foolproof.
With a "bang", the container exploded, black mist overflowed again, and the mermaid's singing was suddenly interrupted. Newt quickly formed a magic shield to block Fiona and Alvin beside the bed, but the target of the black mist was no longer the immobile Alvin, but...
Sun Zhufei rushed forward and threw the stunned person to the ground. Fiona's exclamation was stuck in her throat, and the mermaid also let out a high-decibel scream, and fell back into the water tank with a "pop", splashing water all over Sun Zhu's head and body.
But she didn't care about anything else. She just put one hand on someone's waist and slapped the black mist with the other hand. A burst of golden light suddenly burst out from her wrist, and at the same time, the talisman in her pocket and the necklace around her neck both emitted a slightly scorching temperature. The next second, the black mist seemed to be taken away by something, disappearing piece by piece.
