Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

"buzz"

Just as Hermione and Ciel were about to return home, an electric buzz suddenly appeared in a corner of the park where they often met before school started.

It sounded like the sound made when electricity was energized in science fiction movies from the last century.

It continued, getting stronger and stronger, as if it was burning through the air.

Then the next moment, along with a burst of smoke, a tall figure slowly emerged out of thin air.

This is a strong and handsome man. He is wearing a golden-red tight... ah no, a dress. His strong chest muscles tighten his upper body, as if he has clear silk threads like armor. His biceps move slightly. , the bulging muscles are thicker than ordinary people's thighs.

He looked like a down-and-out little aristocrat, wearing white tights, a gold-red dress, and black patterns and gold lines embellished on his collar.

But this terrifying tendon made him look like a barbarian.

Just came out of the arena.

"Yes, this is me."

He posed like a bodybuilding coach, showing his white teeth and grinning.

"Ding"

"I used to be short and thin."

He suddenly spoke, with an operatic accent and a bass.

"My companions gave me all kinds of nicknames."

“As the days go by, they choose to enrich themselves, and I.”

Like Popeye, he once again made a gesture that highlighted his muscles.

“Choose a strong appearance.”

“At the end of the day, I’m capable of anything and fearless.”

"Then, kill them one by one."

"Ahahahaha"

He let out a hearty laugh.

The song ended. The guy flexed his muscles again, then looked around, smoothed his shiny hair, and walked towards the neighborhood where Hermione's home was located.

"Now, I'm back."

"My treasure, my Belle."

"I am back"

. . .

The Hogwarts Express.

Before boarding the car, Charles took another look at his backpack. The chessboard still didn't respond, showing no signs of the invasion of evil magic.

Maybe, it’s not evil forever

But even now, before seeing more evidence and signs, everything is still speculation, and Ciel sighed.

The good news is that the freezer containing the heart of the tribe is also lying in his space backpack.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Charles in the carriage closed his eyes and let his mind go.

In fact, he still has patience, but where does he end up? The complexity of this game is more difficult than imagined, especially in the later stages of the game, when various unexpected plots almost explode in the player's face.

If Ciel can't keep his temper, then there's no need to play.

"Shhh"

Sitting opposite Ciel, Hermione was still looking at the textbook in her hands.

As expected, she never misses any opportunity to learn.

There were not many people returning, more than half the number at the beginning of school. Hermione and Ciel occupied a carriage, and no one bothered him.

The two didn't talk much. After all, they stayed together every day and didn't have much to say.

"woo"

"woo"

The journey was not long, and a few hours later, with two train whistles, the Hogwarts Express quickly began to slow down, and they arrived home.

"Mom and Dad"

"I'm here, I'm here"

The train stopped, and as the little wizards swarmed down, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Charles took Hermione among them, followed the crowd and left the station, and soon returned to King's Cross Station. After looking around for a while, Hermione saw her parents.

"I'm here"

She waved.

The little girl hurriedly ran towards her parents, but halfway, she didn't forget to turn around and make a writing gesture with her hand to Charles.

When Charles nodded, she smiled.

"I'm leaving"

She said.

After Hermione left with her parents, Charles quickly walked out of the station.

Andrea didn't come to pick him up. She wasn't even in England anymore. This case seemed to be more troublesome. She and the great detective were running around the world.

Ciel was also used to this. Even if he didn't go to Hogwarts, he would never see Andrea during the Christmas holidays in previous years.

"Snapped"

After finding a deserted corner, with a soft sound, Charles' figure disappeared instantly and reappeared. He had returned home.

Apparating is all about convenience.

Ciel had no luggage. He always liked to travel lightly. If there was space in a backpack, that was what he would do. He took out his spare wand and turned it around a few times. The room that was still a little dusty was immediately cleaned up by him.

Sitting on the chair in a daze for a while, Charles suddenly felt like he had nothing to do.

Then, go to Wonderland to brush up the copy

I don’t know what’s going on in Wonderland recently. Ciel always feels that Wonderland seems a little strange, but he can’t say what’s strange about it. This kind of inexplicable feeling really makes people...

etc.

Suddenly, as if an electric current hit Charles' brain directly, he suddenly realized something.

He thought about it, he thought about what was going on

The world is turned upside down, everything starts over again, heroes become nameless, and history is rewritten.

The timeline has been reset, or in other words, the previous timeline was confusing and wrong.

Even if he had gone to look for Snow White before and went to the territory of the Red Queen and the White Queen, he would not have found anyone because the big side plot occupied this timeline.

For the game, the so-called randomness is just the effect that the player sees. Every time you save, you will be randomly assigned to different branch plots. But in fact, at the beginning of the game, these branch plots must have been determined, but it is true. Randomly.

In the real world, it becomes the word destiny.

Ciel suspected that the first random big plot was determined after he came to this world, just like in the game, so the previous timeline was occupied and he would not find anyone anyway.

Now, with the first big plot cutscene over and the plot officially beginning, the timeline is correct

Only this reason gave him the feeling that something seemed to have changed, but nothing seemed to have changed.

Indeed, Ciel couldn't notice the change in the timeline, because this kind of cutscene, or magic, could almost be said to be one of the top magics in the world.

But just because he couldn't detect changes in the timeline didn't mean he couldn't detect abnormalities.

Just like now, he felt this paradoxical feeling, and immediately judged based on experience that this was a change in the timeline, and then he could determine other things.

It looks like black in the middle of a large piece of white. Black does cover up other colors and makes people unable to see anything. But the appearance of black itself means there is a problem here.

"Damn"

Ciel stood up.

If that was the case, he wouldn't worry about Hermione leaving his sight.

In fact, just when Charles had this idea, he suddenly felt movement in the notebook in his arms, and he quickly took it out.

"Char, there is a very strange man near my house. He, he looks so scary."

It was Hermione's message.
