Chapter 1734 Queen of Hell (5)

Mary Sibley, who made the witch cake, was like all subsequent scholars who studied the Salem events, wanting to understand what happened in the village at that time.

The experiments she conducted were even more theoretical and practical than those who only relied on the literature in hand, but she opened a door to hell.

As Rebecca once told the delegation, she had suffered from convulsions when she was young. This was not surprising, after all, wheat at that time was easily contaminated by ergot.

However, she shouldn't do that. It is the doctor's responsibility to investigate the cause of the disease.

Griggs, the only licensed doctor in the town, was invited to the pastor's house by Paris after Betty and Abigail began to have convulsions. Although Paris was a pastor, he was educated at Harvard. He was not like

Some priests without diplomas took it upon themselves to "exorcise" the convulsing girls.

Griggs' maid and niece Elizabeth Hubbard also went there, and her job was actually somewhat similar to that of a nurse in the 20th century.

The doctor's medicine box at that time was also very different from the medicine box in the 20th century. There would be "medicine" such as dried cow dung, which was mixed with dried and crushed snails and milk and then poured into the convulsing children.

, they will be "ok" soon.

The taste of that stuff really couldn't be compared to chocolate milk, but it was given to the children every time they smoked it. This was another effective "treatment" besides whipping, associating illness with bitter medicine.

It is better for them to "play games" than to leave them alone at home.

After treating the girls, Elizabeth planned to brave the wind and snow and return to the clinic on the unusually cold winter night of 1692. However, before leaving, the priest seemed to have something to say with the doctor, so she stood next to the horse and waited for him alone.

It was very cold outside, and she couldn't help but touch the horse next to her to let it bring a little warmth to her.

At this moment, she suddenly heard some movement in the forest - a wolf-like animal was standing in the distance and looking at her.

It was dark and snowy at the time, so she couldn't see what it was.

The second time she saw it was in February. It was daytime, and she went back alone after finishing her work. As a result, the animal followed her far behind again.

Although it was still snowing heavily that day, the view was much better than last time. It was not a wolf, but it was definitely not the huge snake the pastor said.

Maybe it was an Indian.

Because Indians often wear animal skins on their bodies, it should look like a "wearwolf".

While everyone was discussing, the library phone suddenly rang.

Then all the arguments stopped and everyone looked at the phone.

Just letting it ring for a while, Susanna answered it, even though the library should be off duty at this time, so no one should answer the phone.

"It's for you." She handed the phone to Severus after listening for a while.

Severus took the phone and put the receiver to his ear.

"Hello, is this Mr. Smith?" Lawrence's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me." Severus said.

"Someone attacked my house," Lawrence said. "My wife, I, and your friends were outside."

"Who attacked you?" Severus asked.

"I don't know." Lawrence said, "I was running for my life, and your friend was shot. I have a doctor I know, but I think you wizards have their own ways..."

"Where are you now?" Severus interrupted Lawrence.

Lawrence immediately gave an address, and Severus hung up the phone. He looked back at everyone and said, "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."

"What happened?" Lucius asked Severus.

"Filch and the others were attacked by a group of unknown people, and he was injured." Severus said.

"Beware of a trap." Lucius looked at Susanna and said.

"You think it was me who instigated it?" Susanna frowned.

"I just made an inference with a high probability." Lucius said, "Just like you suspected that Rosen was the murderer who framed Rebecca Nurse."

"Why should I do that?" Susanna asked rudely.

"I don't know, what secrets do you have that you haven't told us?" Lucius asked.

"Why should I tell you?"

Lucius shook his head.

"Two people have already disappeared tonight, and I will not allow the third person to have problems." Severus said, "I brought them out of England, and I must take them back."

"I'm coming with you," Susanna said to Severus. "I can't bear to be in the same room with rude people."

"You are the first lady to say that about me. Everyone who knows me thinks I am polite and considerate." Lucius said in a pretentious manner.

"Shall we go?" Susanna asked.

"What about you?" Severus asked Gongsei.

"I need to check the information about Amenehat I and whether there is any other pharaoh who is the 'beloved of Hathor'." Gongsei said.

"You call this number and find a person named Lyle Meyer." Severus handed a series of numbers to Lucius "to confirm whether he has anything to do with this matter."

"Is he the death priest?" Lucius asked, holding the phone.

"No, he's just an old man sitting by the phone." Severus said, then grabbed Susanna's arm and Disapparated.

After a brief squeeze, they arrived at the downstairs of a Haussmann-era apartment building that was very common in Paris. A high-end car parked unexpectedly on the side of the road. Severus walked over to check and found nothing unusual.

"Do you believe me?" Susanna asked.

Severus looked back at her.

"I trust you……"

"About what?" she asked angrily.

He didn't answer and turned around and entered the apartment.

Old houses like this usually don't have an elevator, so you have to climb up the wooden stairs one by one.

The first floor is usually a shop, and the second floor is the residence of the shop owner. The third floor is the best location because it does not make people feel tired, and it has a broad view and a decent height from the ground. Usually the tenants on this floor

It is the richest building in the building. Not only does the rent decrease as you go up, the height of the windows also decreases, and the balcony is reduced to a cast iron railing close to the window.

The address Lawrence mentioned was on the third floor. Severus took out his wand and leaned against the door, eavesdropping on what was going on inside.

"Can you tell me what you believe in me?" Susanna asked, also holding the wand.

"Is that important to you?" Severus asked.

"That's right." Susanna said seriously.

"I believe everything you say, except for the false name you used when you deceived Leroy. Is that enough?"

"Do you believe that Rosen hypnotized Rebecca?"

"What else? Is there a devil out there?" Severus asked sarcastically.

"Rebecca lost her hearing, as those girls said, and was blinded by a witch." Susanna said. "After the delegation left, the next day, which was New England Baking Day, Rosen went to Rebecca alone.

Becca's family, he led a prayer for Mr. and Mrs. Nass."

"I don't want to tell you this." Severus lowered his voice and warned, "Don't distract me."

"Liar, you don't believe me at all!" Susanna said angrily.

Severus endured it for a moment and looked back at her, "What do you want?"

"Prove you trust me!"

"I'm starting to understand why you're still single at your age." Severus said rudely.

"If you really believed that I had nothing to do with this matter, you wouldn't have brought me here. In fact, you don't believe me at all!" Susanna said excitedly.

Severus gritted his teeth and finally used a magic spell to open the door. Lawrence and Filch were sitting on the sofa facing the door. Filch's hand was on his stomach.

It was Xue, with a sluggish look on his face, and he only made a weak grunt when he saw Severus appear.

"You came so soon?" Lawrence said in surprise.

Severus ignored him and quickly checked the room with his wand.

This was a very ordinary small two-bedroom apartment, with the kitchen and dining room together, and only two bedrooms. When Severus was about to push open a door, he found that it was locked.

"That's the bathroom." Lawrence said. "My wife is in there."

Severus had just let go of the door handle when Susanna walked over and used the Alajo Cave spell to open the bathroom door. Garcia inside did not use the bathroom. She had a phone in her hand and looked like

Panicked, Suzanne used a spell to break the phone into pieces.

"Who did you contact just now?" Severus asked.

"A...a friend," Garcia stammered.

"I can get someone to check your call logs, or I can give you a hard time." Severus said. "Don't make me do it."

Garcia kept shaking her head and looked like she was about to break down and cry.
