Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Because of their injuries, the two figures' invisibility was greatly reduced, making them look like strange female figures sculpted from colorful clay. They were basically humanoid, but two long, tentacle-like things grew from their shoulders and backs, with a large, spiked tumor at the end of each tentacle. These tentacles were what had just slammed into Bai Lin; they were clearly their weapons.

"He has a kagune too, let's retreat!" one of the women said in Japanese.

The other person remained silent and retreated rapidly.

Bai Lin snorted coldly and unleashed two more divine strikes without warning. He had missed the target earlier because he couldn't see it and was attacking blindly, leaving a deep groove on the steel plate in the wall. Now that he could see his opponent, he wouldn't allow him to escape.

The two women sensed the approaching wind blades, and the tentacles on their shoulders automatically blocked them. When the wind blades struck the tentacles, they made a sound similar to that of metal. One of the women withstood the power of the unseen wind blade and disappeared into a wall, as if she had melted into the metal. The other woman left behind a small piece of her tentacle and also retreated at lightning speed, escaping without a trace.

At the same time, Zero on the screen next to him suddenly said with a worried look: "The research institute's self-destruct program has been activated. All explosives will be detonated in three minutes." As he spoke, all the alarms on the wall were triggered, emitting a dazzling red light and accompanied by alarm sounds, rising and falling like a symphony.

Edogawa Hiroyuki was shocked and rushed to Bai Lin's side, saying, "Brother Bai, I've got some information! Let's go!"

Bai Lin nodded, preparing to activate his Apparition ability, when Zero on the screen beside him suddenly said, "Are you sure you can escape? The elevator to the surface is destroyed, and the secret passage is sealed. You can't possibly escape in two minutes!"

Hiroyuki Edogawa said, "Don't you know that wizards can apparite?"

Zero suddenly seemed to realize something, her eyes widening with excitement as she exclaimed, "That's right! You're wizards! You're those special humans who can teleport hundreds of kilometers away! Just like many members of the Ship of Light!"

Bai Lin stared at the flashing lights, feeling the seconds tick by, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you so happy about?"

Zero asked urgently, "Can you... get me out of here?"

Bai Lin was taken aback. He hadn't expected Zero to say that. If he were from Edogawa Hiroyuki's perspective, he might have said:

"Why should we?", "We're the enemy!", "You're not human, why do you need us to save you?" and other similar questions.

But what shocked Bai Lin was that Zero seemed to have developed self-awareness. He was no longer a computer program; he had his own thoughts and even human emotions, such as fear, dread, and hope...

"How do I save him?" Bai Lin asked directly. If it wasn't too much trouble, he wouldn't mind taking him with him. At worst, he could upload him to the Dao Encyclopedia System. What could he possibly do to him? In a sense, he would rather take Zero with him than risk touching the "Black Heart." After all, if he touched it, he would be infected with an unknown mutated virus. Where would he go to complain then?

Ling was overjoyed. A small box popped out from a nearby machine. Bai Lin recognized it as a hard drive. Hard drives at that time only had a capacity of one or two gigabytes, which was not as large as a button USB flash drive in 2020.

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 253, The Underground Cannibal. We look forward to your visit.

"I've set up a seed on this hard drive, as long as..." Zero said hurriedly, but he seemed to want to explain more. However, Bai Lin was not in the mood to listen to his rambling. With a summoning spell, the hard drive flew into his hand. He glanced at Zero, grabbed Edogawa Hiroyuki, and activated Apparition.

Seeing Bai Lin and the other person disappear, Zero on the screen suddenly calmed down. He looked around the entire incubation chamber with a complicated expression. In fact, he also looked around all the rooms in the research institute. Finally, he looked at the "Black Heart" that Bai Lin had not managed to snatch, and the researchers who were still standing neatly in the secret room, seemingly oblivious. He seemed to still have some feelings for this research institute.

But a ball of flame burst forth from the walls of the research institute, and a violent explosion came from every wall, pillar, and foundation of the institute. Within seconds, the entire building was blown to pieces in a towering blaze of fire.

With the explosion, the highlands near the lava river shattered and plunged into the lava, and everything in the research institute sank into the lava.

When Hiroyuki Edogawa opened his eyes again, he was in a bright room. He had been taken back to a hotel in Kagoshima City by Shirarin, but as soon as he stood up, he felt the ground tremble.

Earthquakes are commonplace in Japan, with about ten major and minor earthquakes every year. This tremor only lasted a few seconds, so it was no big deal for the residents of Kagoshima City. Everyone continued to eat and drink as usual. However, the news also featured experts predicting that Sakurajima is currently experiencing frequent geological activity and may erupt again in the coming years.

Looking at the hard drive in Bai Lin's hand, Edogawa Hiroyuki asked, "Brother Bai, why did you save that... AI?" He didn't know how to address Zero for a moment, so he used Bai Lin's form of address.

Bai Lin put the hard drive into the system space and said, "Although he is a program, once he has his own thoughts, he may no longer be completely controlled by the Ship of Light. If used properly, we should be able to get a lot of juicy information about the Ship of Light through him..."

Of course, I still need to think about how to activate it safely. I can't just plug it into any computer. What if it turns the tables and I lose control? ... By the way, what data did you get?" He didn't see Hiroyuki Edogawa using a USB drive or anything like that. He was a little curious about how he took the data from those devices.

Hiroyuki Edogawa pointed to his head and said, "Don't forget, I have a photographic memory. I reviewed all the experimental records. Because the data was updated in real time, it wasn't encrypted immediately. With a little analysis, I was able to draw conclusions."

"The Fujiwara Research Institute has discovered underground cannibals," said Hiroyuki Edogawa. "The original virus originated from the body of this cannibal."

Hiroyuki Edogawa paused for a moment and said, "The black thing in that glass jar is called the Black Heart. It is the heart of a powerful ogre. That ogre lived for nearly 1000 years and had many amazing abilities, but the most powerful one was something called a kagune."

"Kagune?" Bai Lin was taken aback. He had also heard the female monster mention this word, but he hadn't thought of what it was at the time. Now that he remembered, damn it, isn't this the ability of the ghouls in "Tokyo Ghoul"?

Bai Lin was immediately struck by a huge question about the world he was in. With Harry Potter, Resident Evil, and now Tokyo Ghoul, this world was practically a fusion of film and television works. He wondered what other strange and wonderful things would emerge in the future.
