Chapter 1960: Chapter 1060: Uninvited Guest (Part 2)
The old Slippery Ghost, Nurari Hyakko, sighed deeply.
Back then, he collaborated with the Onmyoji, Hua Tiao Yuan Xiu Yuan, to tailor eight sealing techniques for the Feather Robe Fox, but now, few remain.
Moreover, the Onmyoji of Hua Kai Garden have also been attacked, suffering significant losses; this matter cannot be ignored.
But recently, there have been signs of eerie resurgence…
“The bizarre events have occurred multiple times before, each requiring a tremendous price to resolve. The last time was sixty years ago, ended by some mysterious figures from the East, and now, the time has finally come again…”
Nurari Hyakko has lived a long time, witnessed eerie resurgence, and knows its horror.
Nulang Group has grown big and strong, with a vast foundation, also for the purpose of collecting gold.
Yet, despite years of collection, he still feels it’s insufficient.
“If there’s a chance, you can try reaching out to him. Given his young age, perhaps you’ll have some common language, at least regarding the bizarre problems, our objectives align.”
“Huh? Should I directly approach him then?”
Nurari Lusheng is still ultimately a middle school student, despite being the current leader of Nulang Group, he lacks experience in this area.
“Try using a visiting card first, find out where he lives…”
…
Goo goo goo~
A speckled owl kept knocking against the glass window outside the room.
Tao Yu went over and let it in.
This owl, clearly distressed from its journey, looked unkempt with frizzled feathers and was quite angry after dropping off the letter.
“Freshened up.”
Tao Yu took out his magic wand, pointed it at the owl, tidying it completely, then offered some food and water, calming it as it gulped water.
Thereafter, Tao Yu received the handwritten letter from Dumbledore.
The general message was that although Tao Yu’s previous actions had severely violated the Secrecy Act, due to the current upheaval and frequent appearances of supernatural power, he had vigorously advocated for this matter at the International Wizarding Federation, suppressing it.
Furthermore, he proposed using Tao Yu as an exception, as a breakthrough point, to observe the changes in this new world, allowing Tao Yu to freely pursue what he wishes to do.
“…Additionally, Voldemort’s bizarre form has reappeared recently, aside from him, the frequency of other eerie appearances has also increased, more wizards are starting to take this seriously and have formed a joint investigative team. You are the most knowledgeable about the bizarre among us, I’ve nominated you as the team’s leader at the Federation. What do you think?”
Dumbledore sought Tao Yu’s opinion afterward.
This joint investigative team is a newly established special entity under international affairs, authorized by various countries’ ministries of magic, with the power to act first and report later in urgent situations. If it involves the bizarre, it can even request cooperation from the local ministry of magic.
Usually, such a role should be handled by renowned wizards, like Dumbledore.
Yet, Dumbledore proposed Tao Yu.
Given Tao Yu’s proud record of defeating the Dark Lord, combined with Dumbledore and the British Ministry of Magic’s support, despite his young age, there’s little opposition.
So as long as Tao Yu agrees…
“Dumbledore is indeed more reliable than Fudge. That guy is still worried Dumbledore will usurp his position…”
Tao Yu shook his head after reading the letter.
He hadn’t explicitly mentioned anything to Dumbledore, yet Dumbledore silently organized many matters behind the scenes.
Perhaps Dumbledore had long foreseen Tao Yu might breach the Secrecy Act, such appeasement and persuasion might have been synchronized early on, making everything fall into place now.
In contrast to Fudge, who hastily arranged an identity for Tao Yu, but didn’t properly handle the aftermath, the difference in capability is glaring.
Especially regarding international influence, Dumbledore is indeed a former president of the International Wizarding Federation, a truly prestigious figure, the foremost White Mage…
So sending the letter via owl was mainly to get Tao Yu to personally sign the appointment letter, thereby generating legal effectiveness and magical contracts within the wizard world.
To this, Tao Yu happily agreed, signed the letter, and wrote a letter of thanks in return, then glanced at the gluttonous owl with a warm smile.
“I’ll trouble you for another trip…”
After sending the owl off, Tao Yu felt the deepening of his legendary anchor, synchronizing the wizard world and the muggle world, indeed quite exhilarating.
He then returned to his desk, opened his laptop, rapidly hacking some servers to lift restrictions on certain videos.
While also getting a bit more insight into Neon’s side.
Aside from the earlier Slam Dunk, Tao Yu discovered traces of the Slippery Ghost, along with shadows from some everyday anime series, even from some niche series.
These collectively form the core of Neon’s world.
However, in terms of power display, the strongest is the Slippery Ghost, which isn’t particularly strong.
“It’s just missing those time stop and hypnotism niche series, otherwise it’d really be off the charts…”
Tao Yu roughly estimated and found a point of entry.
Tokyo lacks the gold of Da Piao Liang, so a direct approach is better.
