Last night, after talking to Delphi, Marca, who sent her away, was busy underground the central square all night. She didn't return to the ground until the sun rose completely.

At this time, there were already many people in the square. When he came out, he found that everyone was obviously watching the vertical downward tunnel he drove out.

To tell the truth, at the moment when he emerged from the tunnel - watching so many people looking down at himself, he suddenly seemed to feel the mood of the marmots in the Muggle zoo.

"Oh, good morning, everyone!"

After greeting with a subtle smile on her face, Maka soon mended the hole, left the square and returned to the hall on the first floor of the new Ministry of magic.

When he walked into the gate, what he saw for the first time was not lupin or a member of the magic department, but Hermione, Harry and Ron.

Oh, no, actually, it should be a group of four, because Maka subconsciously looked around and soon saw Neville in front of the book and newspaper stand on one side of the hall.

"Why are you here? And it's so early?"

It can be seen that at present, except Neville, who is reading an old newspaper, the other three are gathered around the spiral town sand table in the middle of the hall.

Hermione, in particular, seemed very interested in the small town architectural model reduced by magic. She looked at it carefully until Maka spoke, and her head didn't look up.

"Marca?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded at the door, and several small partners, including Neville, turned their heads almost at the same time.

"Oh," said Hermione after a short pause, "didn't you ask us to make a magic shield at Hogwarts before? Last night, after seeing the protective spell of this town, I wondered if I could make some more defensive measures here. So I came to see this sand table..."

"Well," said Marka, nodding as she walked forward, "that's good. Didn't we test the curved slate last time? There are many slate in the unfinished building area in the East. You can use them casually... Of course, try not to waste!"

"Oh! Those stones... Can we really use them?"

Looking at Hermione's glowing expression, Marca knew that she must have seen those tablets... Even maybe she was already thinking about them.

"By the way, you're all here. What about Luna and them?" Marca asked curiously. "Well, Ginny and Hannah... Why, Harry and Neville, you two don't have to take a walk with your girlfriend this morning?"

"Oh, Harry, for the time being, Neville must not be used," Ron shrugged. "Just before we came out, I heard Ginny say that Luna vaguely touched her and Hannah's room in the middle of the night, and then squeezed herself into Hannah's bed and slept until dawn - neither of them got up when we came out!"

"Well?"

Maka shook her head when she heard the speech, and then said,

"What about Ginny?"

"She said she would stay there to practice the spell, so she didn't come with us," said Harry. "I think she also wants more self-protection... After all, Marca, you know, she's always a little strong girl -"

When Maka walked slowly to several friends and chatted with them at will before breakfast, hoping to eliminate some slight uneasiness in their hearts, the door in the deep hall was suddenly pushed open.

"Lupin, where have you been? When I came, I thought you would be here!"

"Oh! Although I do spend most of my time here, you can't let me put 'some' things I should do in other places here?"

"Well, well, you won --" Maka immediately reacted when she heard it, and saw him wave his hand. "Just now, I thought I didn't say it."

Before his voice fell, he didn't wait for Harry, who was obviously confused, to ask about this topic. He immediately turned and said, "lupin, the statue was clear last night, but there are a lot to say. I'll sort out a written material for you later, and you can understand it more intuitively! And now..."

As he was talking, suddenly another wizard ran in from the front door, and he was holding a crumpled note that he knew was taken out of the owl's letterhead.

Maka watched each other run all the way to lupin, handed the note, and then hurried out of the hall after saying "I'll wait at the door".

When lupin opened the note and read the ciphertext, his eyebrows immediately jumped slightly.

"... Maka, there's the latest news from the patrol team again," he quickly handed over the secret note quietly, "I haven't seen the enemy all night."

Harry and Neville obviously didn't notice the subtle changes in Lupin's expression. Although Ron has made some progress in observing words and expressions over the years, he is still like a child under Lupin's sophistication.

Only Hermione, although she didn't see anything on the surface, somehow felt something was wrong.

"Oh," said Marca after reading the note, holding her chin for a moment, and then said, "there were many before, but now none of them. I said last night, it's obviously a problem... Now that there's no one all night, it's more suspicious."

At this point, he shook off the note in his hand, and then continued:

"However, it's true to say that this judgment has been proved before. When the actions of the dead are out of control, unless they find creatures to attack, they are basically wandering aimlessly."

"Because of this, they will go out of the fog one by one like that."

"Accordingly, once they don't appear on the edge, it shows that... Haier Bo should be calling them."

After this analysis, Maka went back to the previous topic and said:

"So, the outer part of the fog is really likely to be empty - the living bodies are more likely to concentrate somewhere deep in the city than still wandering around looking for targets."

"Well..."

Lupin could not help nodding his head when he heard Maka say so, and his expression became a little relaxed.

But when he wanted to say something, Hermione, who watched silently, finally couldn't help saying:

"Marca, Lupin, is something wrong?"
