Falsifying history is good business

Taking advantage of the general mentality of wizards avoiding Muggles, Lin You easily dismissed the young "special trio" from the Ministry of Magic and got the opportunity to meet with the main members of the Burgess family alone.

The so-called meeting can actually be described in another way. The correct way of describing it is that after obtaining sufficient evidence, the law enforcer Earl Goff went back to verify the details of the crime with the suspects one by one.

It was at this time that Lin You realized that the real target that the Burgess family - or the previous owner of the Burgess family - wanted to summon was "Death" from the Endless Family.

The Burgess family themselves didn't know what went wrong with the summoning ceremony, so they summoned the wrong person, making the unlucky Morpheus the scapegoat.

It didn't take long for Lin You to empty out everything the insider knew and put forward a harsh request: "I want all the information about the Burgess family's summoning rituals and imprisonment arrays. This is not a request or a demand, but an order. Summoning and imprisoning a high-level demon god will bring unpredictable dangers to the human world. Such behavior is strictly prohibited; all relevant information must be sealed or destroyed."

Earl Goff showed no mercy and would never allow the other party to refuse. Fortunately, the Burgess family summoned members of the Endless Family. If it were members of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the consequences would not be as simple as a family head falling into a coma - although the two groups of demons were of the same level and there were seven of them.

The head of the family, Alex, fell into a deep sleep, and the entire Burgess family had no one who could make the decision, so naturally they could not withstand the pressure from the Earl. Lin You quickly obtained all the paper information, and at the same time did not forget to conduct an on-site inspection of Murphys' former prison cell.

A transparent cage used to isolate thoughts was hung in the cell, and a magic circle was painted on the ground that could greatly limit divine power. Both the cage and the magic circle had been destroyed and had lost their effectiveness, and only the talisman pattern on it still retained some reference value.

What amazed Lin You most inside and outside the cell was not the cage or the magic circle, but the two "jailers" in charge of guarding the cell, who were also witnesses of the sleep man's escape. Their uniqueness lay in that they knew no magic at all and were equipped with pistols instead of wands.

Although she knew she couldn't intervene, Nymphadora, who had followed them to "learn more", almost popped her eyes out. The Aurors had seen guns before, but it was still a bit too sensational for a magic family to introduce Muggle weapons.

"That's quite normal. The spells, magic circles, and the imprisoned objects in this room are the core secrets of the Burgess family. They must not be known to outside wizards. But the Burgess family does not have that many people, so the only way is to employ people who don't know magic."

Lin You's long experience of living in two societies has enabled him to understand similar mentalities. Although the gap between social culture and knowledge often represents a contradiction, it is sometimes very conducive to the need for confidentiality.
"A Squib or a Muggle?" Lin You asked nonchalantly, but the two "jailers" were a little uneasy, and they were so nervous that they spoke incoherently when answering the question.

"I'm a Squib, he's not, but he knows about magic... I mean, his brother is a wizard, he knows about magic."

"Are you good at using the gun?" Lin You asked again.

"good……"

"Although it's not as flexible as magic, its lethality is not bad, right?" Lin You's tone was as if he was chatting. "No matter the speed of the bullet or the density of firepower in a short period of time, it is actually stronger than many offensive magic. If you are quick, the wizard can empty the magazine in one wave of his wand. It takes seven years for a little wizard to learn magic, but it takes less than seven days for a child to learn to shoot."

The two "jailers" murmured and dared not say much, but they could not help but complain in their hearts: "Aren't you a wizard yourself?"

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Lin You didn't care. He waved his wand and wiped out the cage and the magic circle. There was no trace of anything related to the sleep demon in Burgess Castle.

"I have finished my work. What about you? Are you still staying here to do 'routine work'?"

Nymphadora pulled her hair, which was constantly changing, and was in great distress. "Even if the Ministry of Magic is incapable of handling this matter, can you at least tell us what to do next? Should we just give up and leave it alone, or send the Burgesses to Azkaban?"

"Send someone to check on Alex every now and then to see if he's awake or alive. Don't worry about anything else. Since the other party has chosen 'sleeping' as a punishment, it means that this matter ends with Alex and there won't be any more complications."

Harry Potter hesitated and said, "Are we just going to do nothing? Let Mr. Burgess be lynched forever?" Lin You said expressionlessly, "The Burgess family has been conducting illegal magic rituals in private, endangering the entire wizarding world out of selfishness. Even if there is a public trial, they will definitely be severely punished. As for whether he will die in Azkaban while awake, or die in his own bed while asleep, I'm not sure which punishment will be more cruel for him."

When it comes to the punishment that Morpheus inflicted on Alex Burgess, the wizards naturally couldn't solve it, but that didn't mean Lin You had no solution; it was just that Lin You himself didn't want to do anything unnecessary.

Lynching is fine! Imprisoning the Sleeper for nearly a century, and taking away the three artifacts that he depended on for survival, only to have him sleep for the last few years of his life. Strictly speaking, Alex got a great deal.

"At this time, Morpheus should have entered Hell and fought with Lucifer to retrieve the helmet, one of the three artifacts. If nothing unexpected happens, the last artifact, the ruby, will soon surface."

Lin You returned to the manor and muttered to himself, quietly waiting for new news; he always believed that the artifact in the hands of the sleep demon was extraordinary, and as long as it appeared, something strange would happen. Just like when the dream sandbag was activated, it swallowed up two generations of father and daughter. Even without Constantine leading the way, the strange phenomenon in the apartment building would eventually alarm the department responsible for handling supernatural things; it was just a matter of a few days earlier or later.

This is true for dream sandbags, and rubies are no exception.

Lin You's guess was soon verified, but the situation was not quite the same as he expected; to be precise, the impact of the ruby ​​far exceeded his initial imagination.

The first person who made Lin You realize that something was wrong was the old butler.

While preparing lunch, the old butler, who was always polite and a little distant, saw Diana coming in from the door. He suddenly walked over and said, "Miss Prince, I have always believed that you are the most suitable hostess for the Forrest family. Now what I am most anxious about is when the young master and you can give birth to the heir of the family."

Diana, who always acted on impulse, was stunned by the old housekeeper's words. She subconsciously looked at Lin You, and it was clear that she regarded a certain earl as the mastermind.

Before Lin You could react, Minerva, who was sitting next to him, interrupted and said, "Ah, look at you guys, you spend so much time in the bedroom every day, but you haven't had a child in several years. No wonder the housekeeper is so anxious..."

Before she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly covered her mouth in fear: "Why did I say that? Brother, brother, something got into my brain and it's disturbing me!"

Lin You frowned, and suddenly felt something in his heart, so he turned his head and looked towards the center of London. The thick walls of the villa could not block his sight, and he saw the violent energy fluctuations somewhere in the city.

Lin You stared at it for a moment, then slowly put his mind at ease: "It has the power to affect the mind, but the way it is used is very rough and crude. I'm going to go out for a while, you guys eat first."

His tone was as relaxed as if he was just going out for a walk.

Minerva nodded her head quickly: "Go, go, that thing is so annoying, it keeps drilling into my brain, and I can't stop it."

"It's okay. Just don't fall asleep and there won't be any problem. But..." Lin You tapped the little girl's forehead, his tone turned deep, "When I come back, you have to explain to me what 'sicky' and 'can't have children' mean. Where did you learn these words?"

Minerva's face immediately fell, looking bitter and wrinkled, as if she wanted to cry in front of her brother immediately; then a hand reached out and "gently" grabbed one of her ears, and an equally "gentle" voice sounded at the same time: "Yes, I am also curious about your explanation!"

The little girl whimpered, covered her ears with her hands, and shouted in anger: "Brother, you must beat that evil thing to death, you must beat him to death... He has screwed me to death!" (End of this chapter)
