Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Bai Lin saw Captain Xu again the next afternoon. He was clearly angry. Bai Lin guessed that Yan Xiaoyun had gone to him to plead for mercy again. Bai Lin was helpless, as this was only human nature.

"I heard you wanted to see me? What do you want to confess?" Captain Xu stared at Bai Lin with eyes like a hungry wolf.

Bai Lin shrugged and said, "I did have some unspeakable difficulties before, and I've also figured some things out. I feel it's necessary to communicate with you about them."

A few minutes later.

Captain Xu: "You mean you know the kind of unparalleled martial arts described in wuxia novels, and your opponent is your nemesis, and also has superpowers?"

Captain Xu looked at Bai Lin as if he were a lunatic.

Bai Lin nodded and said, "To be precise, it's a fantasy novel. My abilities are much more powerful than those in martial arts novels."

Seeing the strange looks from Captain Xu and the junior detectives, Bai Lin estimated the force he had used to crack the wall in the dormitory earlier. With a sudden jerk of his arms, he broke the silver bracelet on his wrist and stood up from the interrogation chair.

This level of power has not yet touched the laws of space and time, but it is enough to give ordinary people a great shock.

The junior detectives were startled, but Captain Xu was the first to react and immediately pulled out his service pistol.

"You're using a Type 77 pistol, right? It's too weak; it can't hurt me." Bai Lin said calmly, smiling at Captain Xu.

He wasn't being reckless. If Captain Xu really fired, he was confident he could dodge in time, and if all else failed, he could activate his willpower barrier to save his life, even if he had to remain unconscious for several days afterward.

Moreover, as long as he was confident and arrogant enough, he felt that Captain Xu would not fire.

The truth is, Bai Lin's gamble paid off. First, Captain Xu had watched the video of Bai Lin knocking down several thugs in the mall dozens of times, and had just witnessed Bai Lin break a silver bracelet, so he naturally had a psychological basis for believing in Bai Lin's confidence. Second, he knew that Bai Lin was his younger sister's sweetheart. Third, shooting and killing a suspect in the interrogation room is a major taboo for criminal police officers. Under these multiple factors, he would definitely not shoot and cause trouble before Bai Lin could physically harm him.

"You mean, Deng Rui and Li Haodong (the dead henchman) risked their lives to frame you?" Captain Xu pointed his gun at Bai Lin, trying to remain calm.

"Just examine the bodies again. I suspect one of their bodies was missing at the time, but was found nearby! Checking the surveillance footage around the morgue should give us some clues!" Bai Lin said firmly.

Captain Xu and his men looked at each other in disbelief. After a moment's thought, Captain Xu accepted Bai Lin's bizarre suggestion. However, just as he stepped out of the interrogation room, a criminal police officer ran in from outside.

"Captain, the hospital just called to say that Li Haodong's body is missing!"

"What?!" Captain Xu felt a chill run down his spine and rushed out like a madman.

Bai Lin didn't have to wait long. In the evening, a middle-aged man in a suit came to the detention center and saw Bai Lin through the fence.

"Who are you?" Bai Lin sensed a different aura, which made him quickly stand up and go to greet the other party. The other party was obviously not an ordinary person. The aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, combined with the pressure of powerful energy, made the hair on the back of Bai Lin stand on end.

"You just need to answer my questions!" The middle-aged man said sternly, exuding an air of authority. (Click to read Bai Linshuo's masterpiece, *Hogwarts Summoning Guide*!)

Bai Lin shrugged. Just from the pressure emanating from the other party, he could tell that the other party also possessed extraordinary power. He just didn't know how the other party had managed to survive the spacetime suppression in this world.

The middle-aged man gave a slight snort and said, "Are you a time traveler or just passing through?"

Bai Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. The middle-aged man's words revealed too much information. Could it be that there were similar institutions to the Ministry of Magic or the Eastern Magic Management Committee in the original world? No, it was even more fantastical. They knew about transmigrators.

"I guess I'm just passing through; I'll be leaving soon," Bai Lin said, scratching his head.

The middle-aged man relaxed slightly, his tone softening as he asked, "Did you come here to look for something?"

"We're looking for someone, or more precisely, we're hunting down an alien monster," Bai Lin said. He knew that saying this to an ordinary person would be considered crazy, but he figured a middle-aged man would take it seriously.

The middle-aged man frowned, pulled out a smartphone from his pocket, and showed Bai Lin several pictures, asking, "Which one is it?"

Bai Lin took a closer look and was immediately dumbfounded. The pictures contained images of aliens from the movie E.T., including the Alien, the Predator, and cockroach-like insects—a complete collection of science fiction movie characters.

"The minions of the ancient gods are octopus-like in form. They mainly possess a spiritual power system and their souls come through a space-time channel. They should be possessing human bodies," Bai Lin said as concisely as possible.

The middle-aged man calmly put his phone away, nodded, and said, "You've passed the test. We'll cooperate with your operation, but you must leave within a week."

Bai Lin was taken aback, not expecting the other party to react this way, but soon a criminal police officer opened the iron gate and he was released.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Yan Xiaoyun and Zhao Xixi, two soft-spoken girls, rushing over with tears of joy, each grabbing one of his arms. Bai Lin gave the middle-aged man an awkward smile.

"We've obtained the surveillance footage near the morgue, and we also have a general clue as to the direction that thing you mentioned fled. I can only say that it's absolutely courting death to come here." The middle-aged man said as he handed Bai Lin a watch and a new cell phone.

"The message will be sent to your phone immediately. The Holy Abyss Fragment in your watch will allow you to use low-level extraordinary power for about five minutes without being subject to Holy Judgment. Remember, do not harm the innocent, or you will be arrested as well!" the middle-aged man said firmly.

Bai Lin sensed the chill in his tone. He didn't doubt that the other party possessed extremely strong extraordinary power. If he could receive the gift of the Sun God, others could certainly obtain the power of the gods as well. He suspected that the guardians of this world did not hide on the moon like the Silent Ones of the Magic World, but lived on the surface like humans, and even cooperated with humans to establish an organization.

With the watch fastened to his left wrist, Bai Lin immediately felt a cool and comfortable sensation, as if the spatial and temporal suppression that had been pressing on him had disappeared. However, he also knew that this was only temporary. Furthermore, as long as he wore the watch, his every move would be monitored by the forces behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man came and went quickly. Bai Lin was starving, and before he and the two girls had even finished their spicy hot pot meal, his phone beeped with a new message.

"Direct navigation? That's way too smart..." Bai Lin looked at the map displayed on his phone, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Do we need to fight?!" Zhao Xixi's eyes widened, filled with curiosity and admiration for the unknown power.

Bai Lin pursed his lips. He knew that after the matter was over, the middle-aged man would definitely erase the memories of all those involved, and Zhao Xixi and Yan Xiaoyun would eventually forget him completely.
