Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Secondly, the Church of Hastur could permanently parasitize human bodies using disgusting "octopus eggs," replacing human heads. However, Bai Lin believes these "octopus eggs" are definitely rare, not readily available, and they would only use them on high-powered targets. It's highly likely that only the evil spirit Grakua can "manufacture" these "octopus eggs."

Third, the methods and exact effects of a certain large-scale group hypnosis are unclear, but it should already be widely used among Muggle people, and the harm is impossible to assess.

Fourth, the "Yellow Seal"—Bai Lin still doesn't understand what it is. However, in the Egyptian dungeon, the Yellow-Robed Bishop seems to want to use the "Yellow Seal" to completely control the Auror Elia. Combining this with the main quest description, the Yellow Seal should be the Bible from the Hastur Church—"The Lord in Yellow," which is also the target of their operation.

Adding to the scenario described by Qiqi, the villagers in that small village in Genoa should have all had their souls taken, and some of those with stronger spiritual power who were not controlled were killed by the yellow-robed bishop.

Because the evil spirit Gracuya has disappeared into the sea near America, the Hastur cultists in Europe have lost their supply of "octopus eggs." Therefore, in order to control more people on Earth, the war messenger Asatl will take "Lord in Yellow" to the controlled town to achieve permanent brainwashing.

Having figured all this out, Bai Lin waved his hand, and Phineas stepped forward, raising his "little hand" and saying, "My respected master, Phineas is honored to serve you." His usual humility and deference would probably make Hermione retort with her usual talk about freeing the elves.

Bai Lin certainly wouldn't treat house-elves like livestock like ordinary wizarding families. He was willing to give Phineas the utmost respect, but he didn't have any obsessive-compulsive tendencies or insist on absolute equality with them.

The principles behind house-elves' Apparition are unknown, but Bai Lin believes it's because they can concentrate better, making each teleportation much smoother and more comfortable than a wizard casting a spell. When Bai Lin opened his eyes, he was already standing on a pier bridge, with a warm sea breeze blowing on his cheeks, feeling very comfortable and pleasant.

Phineas couldn't teleport so many people at once. He made three trips back and forth, and on the last trip he brought Hagrid. He was so tired that he sat down on the ground, panting heavily. Teleporting a half-giant was quite strenuous for Phineas.

A waiter in a tuxedo was already waiting for them at the dock. He was clearly surprised to see the tall Hagrid, but still greeted them with his signature smile.

"We might not have time to admire the beautiful scenery of the Ligurian Sea. We need to meet up with Lulu!" Bai Lin called back Yuxi and Zhuobi, who were looking at the beautiful Genoa Bay, and followed the waiter.

Lulu's base was in an old hotel, which was said to be owned by the Ross family. A sleepy-eyed old Italian man sat at the front desk listening to the radio, completely ignoring their arrival.

Upon reaching the top floor, Bai Lin was utterly shocked. The entire third floor had been transformed into a tactical base, a scene completely out of place in the wizarding world.

A dozen or so young people in uniforms were busy at work, with more than ten computers arranged in three rows. Yes, that's right, computers. Even though it was 1994, and Windows 95 hadn't been released yet, this group of people were already using computers for work.

On the other side of the hall were easels, and a man wearing a rubber apron was painting quickly, soon producing a landscape painting.

Bai Lin went over to take a look.

Most of them are landscape paintings, and a few have a very dark style, with dead people and blood everywhere.

"Noah is a deaf-mute painter, but he is an awakened one." Kaka's voice came from the side as he came out of the inner room.

"He is my primary source of intelligence. As you can see, he can draw the scenes from his dreams based on his memory, and then I will use his drawings to search for locations around the world," Kaka explained.

Bai Lin and his teammates suddenly realized what was going on. Kaka continued, "One of his paintings depicted a bay, and we used a computer to locate Genoa by comparing it to the coastline... You know what a computer is, right?"

Hagrid's expression clearly showed that he didn't understand, but he was very proud. Yuxi and Zhuobi were also completely bewildered, but Qiqi's eyebrows twitched as if she had seen it before.

"I've used it before, it's nothing special. What about Lulu?" Bai Lin asked.

Kaka's expression was slightly subtle as he said, "Lulu has something to do, so I'll be assisting you with this operation. You can trust me as much as you trust her."

Bai Lin shuddered at Kaka's appearance, but Kaka was very capable today, just like on the day of the arena battle, without any effeminate mannerisms.

As everyone was talking, a staff member suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Mr. Rosdelmo, we've found it!"

Kaka reached out and took the stack of black and white prints that he handed over, comparing them with the paintings of Noah. Bai Lin leaned over to take a look and indeed found the scenery and architecture to be extremely similar.

The staff member said, "Seventy kilometers to the northwest, the town of Tegri (fabricated)."

Kaka placed the printing paper and artwork face down on the table and decisively ordered, "Gather the men and let's go!"

All the uniformed men in the room stood up and answered the order in unison. Their imposing manner left Hagrid and Zobi stunned.

Kaka looked at Bai Lin, who waved his hand and said, "We don't need to prepare, but we've never been to that place before, so we can't teleport there!"

Kaka nodded and said, "Come with me!"

Tegri is a relatively remote town in the province of Genoa, Italy, and is not well-known. However, it is not far from Nurmengard, the wizarding prison destroyed by a meteor. Perhaps due to good fortune, the town perfectly avoided the ravages of World War I and World War II, so it still maintains the ancient Genoese way of life (Genoa was once an independent principality and a sworn enemy of Venice), and has very little contact with the outside world.

On the outskirts of the town, in a beautiful flower field, on the highest hill, stands an ancient church built during the Renaissance period in the 15th century. Unlike the Gothic architectural style, it is more like the columnar structure of Greece and the Aegean region, with exquisite stone carvings and decorations everywhere, making it a breathtaking sight.

But the church at this time no longer possessed its former glory and sacred atmosphere; it had become a living hell.

The path from the flower field to the church gate was almost entirely stained with blood, with leftover limbs carelessly discarded on both sides, attracting swarms of flies.

The surviving villagers were like walking corpses, their eyes lifeless, their faces indifferent, their muscles slack, and their mouths strangely half-open, letting saliva drip from the corners of their mouths, as if their facial nerves had completely failed.

But during the day, they still go to the fields or pastures like puppets, do their daily work, and then at sunset, with mechanical steps, they gather towards the church...
