Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Her eyebrows resembled crescent moons shrouded in mist.

Her eyes, gleaming with light, seemed to speak volumes.

The delicate beauty could not withstand the fierce autumn wind.

Her beauty could melt the snow of three winter months.

Bai Lin didn't consider himself a particularly artistic youth, but seeing Yan Nishuang's appearance, he was suddenly inspired to write poetry.

Yan Nishuang wore a neat black suit, neither tight nor revealing, yet her figure appeared flawless at first glance. She didn't have a complicated hairstyle or wear any fancy accessories, but any adornment would be overshadowed and overshadowed by her beauty. She simply stood on the platform halfway up the mountain, yet she gave people the feeling of a goddess ascending to heaven.

Yuqian gripped Bai Lin's arm tightly, also drawn to Yan Nishuang's beauty, a strong sense of crisis welling up inside her.

Bai Lin patted You Qian's hand somewhat embarrassedly, but fortunately Huang Chenghua came to his rescue.

"The crime scene is just ahead. According to regulations, you probably can't go any further. Let's wait for Captain Yan to arrive," Huang Chenghua said.

Yan Nishuang flashed and appeared in front of them, but Bai Lin noticed something different. It seemed that she was not using Apparition, but some kind of magic with distinct Eastern characteristics.

Yan Nishuang's face was as cold as ice, and she looked at Bai Lin with cold eyes, which made Bai Lin feel a "thump" in his heart. He felt that his aura was suddenly suppressed by the other party, and he felt like he had to apologize.

But after a brief moment of awkward silence, Yan Nishuang burst out laughing. With that laugh, Bai Lin felt as if the snow and ice of this cold winter (though winter in the Southwest Province was far less cold than in England) had melted away and everything was coming back to life.

"What's wrong? You went to Europe and learned a bit about the West, and now you don't recognize me?" Yan Nishuang smiled, her tone relaxed and friendly, and she even nodded to Youxi.

Bai Lin was speechless for a moment, and it took him a while to squeeze out a few words: "Sister Ni Shuang... I..."

Yan Nishuang shook her head slightly and said, "If you're coming to me to explain the nonsense my dad and Uncle Bai said when they were drunk, forget it. What era are we living in? Do you think I'd force you to marry me?"

Bai Lin scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed. He even wanted Yan Nishuang to beat him up so that he wouldn't feel guilty all the time.

"Won't you introduce us?" Yan Nishuang said casually.

Bai Lin introduced Youxi, Qiqi, and Zhuo Bi somewhat hesitantly, while Zhuo Bi was practically drooling.

"You've come all this way, I should do my best to be a good host, but I'm currently on official business and I'm afraid I can't accompany you to play around in Gu'er. I hope you won't mind." Yan Nishuang said very politely, but Bai Lin felt as if there was an invisible wall between them.

This feeling made Bai Lin very uncomfortable, even somewhat painful. Perhaps Bai Lin had also been deeply in love with Yan Nishuang before.

"Sister Ni Shuang, I have something else I'd like to discuss with you." Bai Lin put aside his youthful thoughts and decided to get down to business.

"Oh?" Yan Nishuang's eyebrows twitched slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Bai Lin affectionately stroked You Qian's hair to reassure her. Yan Nishuang was putting too much pressure on her, and she was terrified that Bai Lin would suddenly leave her. The beautiful Eastern woman in front of her was enough to make any man go with her.

Bai Lin and Yan Nishuang walked onto a deserted platform. Bai Lin got straight to the point: "Sister Nishuang, I want to participate in the investigation of this case."

Yan Nishuang frowned slightly and said, "You... forgive me for being blunt, but you seem very different from two years ago. I even suspect that you are a different person who used a compound decoction to transform into Bai Lin."

Bai Lin was stunned and extremely shocked. After he transmigrated to the wizarding world, no one had ever seen through his disguise. Even his parents had never suspected him. He never expected that after just meeting Yan Nishuang and exchanging a few words, she would see through his disguise in one sentence.

Bai Lin was taken aback and said cautiously, "I fainted once in London... and then lost a lot of memories... But let's not talk about that for now. I have a mortal enemy in Europe. I want to figure out the secrets of curses so that I can study how to break the Hawa Dad curse."

Yan Nishuang's expression didn't change much, but you could tell from her slightly widened eyes that she was actually quite surprised.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I can take you in alone, but they are all foreigners, so I definitely can't let them in. You have to tell me everything that happened to you in Europe these past two years." Her tone left no room for doubt, but Bai Lin could hear a deep concern in her voice.

So, even though the three lackeys were very unwilling, they had no choice but to be stopped at the mountain gate, unless they wanted to have a big fight with the executive department of the Eastern Magic Management Committee the day after they entered the country.

Huang Chenghua wanted to object, but after a casual glance from Yan Nishuang, he quickly swallowed the words he was about to say. He smiled sheepishly, as if nothing had happened.

Yan Ni pointed to the distant mountain gate, and her figure disappeared instantly, having already teleported there. Bai Lin dared not delay and quickly followed.

Yan Nishuang smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Not bad, your strength has greatly improved in the two years you've been away." Precise close-range teleportation magic is one of the standards for defining a mage's strength. (Of course, there are also teleportation geniuses like twins with extraordinary talent.)

Bai Lin scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Standing next to this stunningly beautiful woman, he felt like a teenager again. He humbly said, "Sister Ni Shuang, could you tell me about the case?"

Yan Nishuang's eyes immediately turned cold, seemingly realizing the thorny nature of the case. However, she then glanced at Bai Lin and said, "What? Not only has your magical power increased, but you also went to England to learn Sherlock Holmes's skills?"

Bai Lin blushed and said, "Sister Ni Shuang, please stop making fun of me. Was I really that bad before?"

Yan Nishuang raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's talk about that later. I'll tell you about the case, and you tell me about the enemies you made in Europe."

Yan Nishuang pushed open a large door, and the scene of this mansion appeared before Bai Lin:

This is an antique-style courtyard house. At first glance, it appears to have at least three or four entrances. Judging from its architectural style, it has quite a history and also carries some of the original ethnic flavor of the ancient people.

The spacious courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with red lanterns hanging everywhere and large "double happiness" characters pasted on the walls. The pillars and beams were decorated with red silk cloth. However, there were overturned tables and chairs everywhere in the courtyard, with at least a dozen tables scattered around. Clearly, a wedding was taking place in the courtyard at the time of the incident, and misfortune suddenly struck.

Yan Nishuang said, "You can tell what happened at a glance. The host family's son was getting married, and almost the entire family was there. The newlyweds were performing the ancient wedding ceremony and were toasting when suddenly someone breathed out black flames. Immediately afterward, all the guests present, including the host family, were burned to a crisp by an evil spell. The bride and groom were among them. It was a truly horrific scene." As she spoke, her expression was very solemn. It was clear that she was extremely strong-willed, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for the family's tragic fate.

Bai Lin asked doubtfully, "Are there any survivors at the scene? Also, has the scene been cleaned up? Were any discoveries made?"

Yan Nishuang pointed to the scattered tables and chairs in the courtyard and said, "When we first arrived, there were corpses all over the place, and leftover food and drinks were scattered everywhere. After my colleagues finished collecting evidence, they cleaned up the scene thoroughly. This case cannot be known to ordinary people to avoid causing panic. Do you understand?" Bai Lin nodded.

She paused for a moment and then said, "Let me show you around. This place isn't exactly a secret anymore." She led Bai Lin around the entire courtyard, introducing the family as they walked: "The family's surname is Sun. They are a well-known family in the southwest, but ordinary people don't know that they are a family of mages. Moreover, they are one of the few remaining mage families from the war years. However, in recent years, their descendants have achieved little and have gradually declined."

The mansion, covering dozens of acres, was quite grand, its former glory seemingly still vivid in memory. However, many parts were now dilapidated and in disrepair, somewhat similar to Blake's house. But there were no strange magical items scattered around, which may have been cleared out by the Execution Department.

There wasn't much to see; Bai Lin could only piece together a picture of what had happened based on Yan Nishuang's fragmented words.

"Can I see the victim? I need to confirm the nature of that evil force and see if I can find any clues," Bai Lin said earnestly.

"Then let's see if your experience can convince me." Yan Nishuang turned to the side, her beautiful eyes looking into Bai Lin's eyes.

Bai Lin swallowed hard and said, "It's Voldemort, he's going to rise again!"

Yan Nishuang said with some surprise, "Ah, the Black King of Europe, I know him... Didn't he die fourteen years ago? Although I've also heard that many of his followers are still causing trouble in Europe."

Bai Lin struggled to organize his thoughts as he said, "Last summer, I was sent to Hogwarts by the British Ministry of Magic—you've probably heard of it, right?"

Yan Nishuang nodded and said, "It's very famous. It's one of the three largest magic schools in Europe and has a high international reputation." Although Hogwarts is similar to Oxford or Cambridge in the Muggle world, there is actually very little exchange between magic schools internationally. The Triwizard Tournament is a very rare opportunity for exchange among the three European schools. If it weren't for this tournament, many young wizards in Britain wouldn't know about Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, let alone the schools in the East. Yan Nishuang's knowledge of Hogwarts is already quite impressive.

Bai Lin continued, "Uncle Fudge—he's the Minister for Magic in England, and he asked me to teach at Hogwarts." He seemed to notice a hint of flattery in Yan Nishuang's eyes, "I'll be an assistant professor teaching the Department of Protecting Magical Creatures... That's not important. On my way to my new post, I accidentally fainted at the train station, and when I woke up, I had lost many memories... but I gained some strange powers."

Bai Lin continued, "Uncle Fudge—he's the Minister for Magic in England, and he asked me to teach at Hogwarts." He seemed to notice a hint of flattery in Yan Nishuang's eyes, "I'll be an assistant professor teaching the Department of Protecting Magical Creatures... That's not important. On my way to my new post, I accidentally fainted at the train station, and when I woke up, I had lost many memories... but I gained some strange powers."

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the entire house on the mountain. Bai Lin felt without any warning that Yan Nishuang was an absolutely reliable person, so he decided to lay his cards on the table with her, otherwise it would be difficult to get her help.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Lin summoned Xue Feng, who emerged from the spatial rift. Xue Feng circled the two of them twice in a majestic manner before stopping behind Bai Lin.

"I have acquired summoning magic, and some other powers..." Bai Lin said.

Even though Yan Nishuang was extremely calm, she was slightly startled by the sudden appearance of the giant wolf. She blurted out, "You received a gift from the Sun God?"

This time, Bai Lin was stunned, while Yan Nishuang, quite troubled, crossed her arms and paced around Bai Lin a few times, saying, "A few months ago, several mages in the country claimed to have seen signs of an evil force from outside invading the earth, or more precisely, nightmares. They called themselves Awakened Ones. Besides the terrifying monsters in their dreams, they repeatedly mentioned a person, or a type of person—the messenger of the Sun God."

"You guessed right...it's me..." Bai Lin shrugged. "I don't only have the Earth Demon as an enemy, but also another, more powerful nemesis—Grakua, a minion of the Great Old Ones."

Yan Nishuang gently bit her lower lip, seemingly having made a great decision, and said, "Right now, all of what you've said is still difficult to verify. My advice is that you don't expose yourself for the time being, and I won't report anything about you to my superiors... However, if it's true, it could be a global catastrophe, and no country can remain uninvolved."

She paused for a moment and said, "Xiao Lin, I will fully cooperate with you on what you want to gain from this case, but if you have any information about the monster in the dream, I hope you can tell me without reservation. I will also do my best to organize an effective resistance force in the country."

"Of course, the East is my hometown, the place I most want to protect!" Yan Nishuang's words touched Bai Lin's heart. He felt as if he had suddenly looked back and found that his confidante had been waiting for him in his hometown for a long time.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the autopsy. I hope your stomach can hold up." Yan Nishuang had made her decision and spoke swiftly and decisively.

Just as Bai Lin finished absorbing the snow wind, Yan Nishuang grabbed his arm. She took out a pure white calligraphy brush, and with a gentle flick, Bai Lin saw a talisman composed of faint golden light appear before them.

Then, his vision blurred, and when the golden light dissipated, they found themselves in a dark basement. The air temperature was very low, and Bai Lin couldn't help but shiver.

"The morgue is a bit cold," Yan Nishuang said. Bai Lin quickly cast a warm spell on himself and Yan Nishuang, a spell he had learned from Youxi, which Hogwarts hadn't taught him.

Yan Nishuang felt warm all over and nodded. She led Bai Lin down the corridor to the end, turned on the fluorescent lights, and found that the deepest part was a large morgue. The bodies in black body bags were neatly arranged in the morgue.

A strong and unpleasant tar smell permeated the morgue, making people feel very uncomfortable. However, when Bai Lin looked at Yan Nishuang, she remained calm and composed, looking like an old detective.

Bai Lin swallowed hard. Although he had witnessed countless life-and-death situations and even killed more than twenty Death Eaters, objectively speaking, he was a ruthless killer. However, in this dimly lit and chilly underground morgue, facing more than a hundred mutilated corpses was enough to make him gasp and panic.
