Chapter 668 The Chaos at No. [-] Privet Drive
When all sorts of bad things happened in this fallen Muggle city.
Flake Bryce, Emily Albert, and Vernon Dursley, who were located at No. [-] Privet Drive, were also in great trouble.
Let's turn the clock back...a little bit back to a time when Sirius Black hadn't arrived at this house,
At that time, the Muggles at number four, Privet Drive, were facing an unprecedented crisis.
At least, this is the case for Laker... the officer who brought Emily all the way here.
He is now leading the remaining soldiers around, aiming at Emily Albert together.
The other people present were very frightened. They were afraid that some soldier would go off and cause a tragedy if they were not careful.
The culprit for the development of the matter to this point was actually an incident that happened outside the house at No. [-], Privet Drive.
Out there, a helicopter gunship had crashed somewhere in Little Whinging.
Those who rode there were all senior officers of the operation, and Lekel... this unqualified officer with no background could only stay and lead the big soldiers, actively defend on the spot, and wait for the arrival of the big troops.
Of course, no one believed such nonsense.
Originally, Emily Alborn, as the discoverer of the unknown X factor, could also leave by helicopter. (This was sent by a certain part of the army stationed in the suburbs of London)
But for some reason, she refused.
Laker at the time thought the guy was crazy.
But then, the gunship itself was shot down by a very weird big bird...or maybe, it can also be said to collide...
In short, the helicopter fell directly to the ground...that situation would not have survived.
Even if someone survived, it would be difficult for the survivors to find any way out because of the large group of living corpses attracted by the fire and sound.
What's more, Laker was also disgusted by those senior officers. After talking with his soldiers for a while, he understood that everyone didn't want to risk their lives for the sake of those senior officers.
However, because of this young Emily Albert researcher, the scene of being almost a prophet... still made Leker secretly drum up in his heart.
After that, there was an eerie silence in the house at number four, Privet Drive.
no one speaks,
To be honest, under such circumstances, everyone is not in the mood to say unnecessary nonsense.
There was only Vernon Dursley wearing a hoarse gruff, and then staring at Emily Albert with a strange look.
Until not long after, Privet Drive... no, it was the entire center of London, and there were extremely violent vibrations from the sky...
That damn place looks like it's at war.
Then, many living corpses rushed there in groups.
And unfortunately... Privet Drive stands in the way of these monsters.
Although it was only a small part of the tide of corpses, it was enough for the soldiers staying here to fight hard.
After several difficult battles, Laker had to gather his soldiers in several houses around No. [-], Privet Drive, and concentrate his forces to deal with the waves of living corpses rushing past.
Strange to say, when Leker made this decision, the probability of the living corpses finding them was greatly reduced.
Most of the time, those monsters just walked straight through Privet Drive, ignoring them as living flesh.
But they were reduced to such a tit-for-tat situation because of another incident.
Shortly after this incident, one of Lyker's soldiers reported that a super-giant monster had been found in the center of London.
So, taking advantage of the absence of corpse tide, they cautiously went outside to check.
And it was at that time that Laker noticed that the female researcher Emily Albert had suddenly disappeared.
Finally, at the back of the house, he discovered that she was re-extracting the so-called unknown X factor from the broken flesh of the living corpses, the brain tissue of the skull... with a ring that was shining with a strange light in her hand.
Watching all of this, Leker immediately had a lot of Hollywood blockbuster model routines in his mind... Various speculations about devils, witches, black witchcraft, etc. swirled in his mind.
However, he didn't expose Emily's secret on the spot, but told the soldiers to get ready, and waited until the huge monster disappeared suddenly, and everyone hid in the house of No. [-] Privet Drive before suddenly launching an attack.
All the soldiers took a vantage point in the house and aimed their guns on Emily Albert.
"Tell me? What excuse do you have, you evil witch... Did you cause all this?"
Although what he said was a bit shocking, Laker didn't quite believe the reason he said.
But the mad scientist, coupled with the weird witchcraft he saw with his own eyes, ... coupled with all the weird things that happened in London during this period, is also convincing enough to make people believe anything that is not in line with common sense.
But unexpectedly, it was not only Emily Albert who looked at Laker like a fool,
Not a lot of people around the house besides their military...Fleck Bryce, Mrs. Figg...even the blustering Dursleys didn't say a word about it.
They seem to know this kind of thing already, and they are not surprised.
"I must admit! Watson, you have found a clue!"
Emily Albert smiled suddenly, and seemed to want to make some jokes to invigorate the atmosphere and let the surrounding soldiers put down their guns, but it was obviously inappropriate.
Nobody laughed.
"Sir, I know you have a lot of doubts..."
"However, it is impossible for a mere Muggle to do all this."
"What's going on?"
"Muggles! A contemptuous term for ordinary people who don't know magic." Emily explained this, taking off the ring in her hand and throwing it to Laker.
The officer was in a hurry, and took it into his hands in a panic.
"Put it on and you'll discover the truth."
"Sir! Don't believe it, there might be some kind of trap up there..." Seeing that Laker was willing to try, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly persuaded him.
Laker was also very resistant and fearful in his heart, and he really didn't want to follow the suspect's suggestion to put a ring on his body.
But for some reason, he saw this golden ring, and the idea of wearing it has been lingering in his mind ever since.
eager to try, unable to eliminate,
It's like a cigarette addiction, tickling... reverberating in the subconscious of the brain.
In the end, Laker still gave an order for a subordinate to temporarily take over his position, and then put the ring on his middle finger.
Then, he suddenly heard a waka waka, a strange sound of clicking, like an iceberg breaking, and two irrelevant sounds of aboriginal singing and dancing mixed together.
It's strange, Laker feels vaguely that the world he sees is different in an instant.
Gradually, he saw it.
The ground, the ceiling, and the whole house are becoming transparent.
And everyone in front of him was distorting a misty light of various colors.
The brightness of the colors were inconsistent, the brightest of which was actually a vial in Emily Albert's hand, and that Mrs. Figg's body...
No, the brightest ones are the idiot-like Vernon Dursleys, and their house...
A translucent light of ever-changing colors is wrapped around their bodies, forming various twisted lines, which are connected to each other in a very regular way like circuit boards.
But before he could take a closer look, Laker's eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he couldn't open them.
His brain began to feel groggy and lethargic, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for days and nights.
The officer suppressed his drowsiness and took off the ring directly before he regained some energy.
"You...what the hell is going on here? What the hell did I see!"
He looked at all the strange-looking civilians around him, and asked again, "What are you hiding?"
Perhaps it was because he saw that Lakel's expression was sluggish, and his tone softened, which made Vernon Dursley a lot more courageous. He stood up from Pene Dursley in a panic and said, "Hmph, sir, I know what's going on?"
"Yes, I know. Since you are the sister of Harry's little boy classmate, why don't you have nothing to do with those mysterious things?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Well, sir, you must ask your soldiers to keep an eye on this wicked witch, and shoot her as soon as she does any tricks."
"Now, I'll tell you everything I know..." Dursley saw that someone was backing him up, and after the demonstrators glanced at Emily, he said slowly.
He described his family's "fight of wits and courage" with those wizards and devils for so many years.
Obviously in his telling: Harry Potter, this nephew of his has become some kind of evil incarnate...
Their family kindly adopted Harry Potter, a guy who had no relatives or reasons.
But this little thing is born to be a little devil who does all kinds of evil. He bullies their family with magic all day long, especially likes to bully that helpless and poor 'little Dudley' of their family.
Petunia Dursley nodded repeatedly.
But obviously no one with any intelligence would believe this nonsense,
Laker frowned, resisting listening to this guy's nonsense.
Until Vernon called Dumbledore a crazy old man and a big fool (obviously this guy still hasn't learned his lesson), Mrs. Figg couldn't help it.
Grabs Mr. Paw (the cat) by the scruff of the neck and throws him in Vernon Dursley's face.
"Ahhhh-"
With Dursley's screams and his face blooming, this very shameful story ended.
"Sir, if you want to know about the wizarding world, I can tell you about it. This idiot's talk is too outrageous."
"you are?"
"I, a squib abandoned by the magic world!" Mrs. Figg said with self-mockery and self-loathing.
"Squibs?"
"It's the members of the wizarding family who can't cast spells by nature, but can detect magic power and magic. Muggles refer to ordinary people like us, who can't even detect and observe magic happening in front of our eyes."
"The ring in your hand is the result of my research. It allows us 'Muggles' to observe and even interfere with the existence of magic power..." Emily Albert saw that Mrs. Figg really didn't want to explain the word Squib, so she interjected to explain it to her.
But these words obviously made Arabella Feige very excited.
She was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on her face began to change, from smiling...a plain and indifferent look...slowly changed to an unbelievable expression,
She couldn't believe what she heard.
Mrs. Figg turned her head and shouted at Emily, "What? How is it possible... The distance between Muggles and wizards is greater than the species separation between mice and humans... How is it possible!
After all, she stared wide-eyed... staring at the ring in Laker's hand,
A look of suspicion and fanaticism.
She leaned forward, stretched out her hand eagerly, her face was contorted, and she almost rushed towards him.
But if it was shocking, it was the Dursleys' family of three...they were horrified by the news that Mrs. Figg was a wizard. (In the impoverished minds of the Dursleys, apparently, there was no telling the difference between a wizard and a Squib.)
They froze in place because of fear, kept that position still, and almost slid off the sofa to the ground.
"Mr. Laker, don't listen to their nonsense. These people are crazy..." A non-commissioned officer under Laker stared at Dursley, Emily, and Mrs. Figg with vigilance and suspicion, and said.
"The things they said... are not false, and I can prove it!" Fleck Bryce also stood up and said at this time.
"I went through something similar to what happened in London last Christmas. Have you heard what happened in Little Hampton?"
"I remember it was an avalanche... it buried half the village, and only a few villagers survived."
"No, no, it's a natural gas explosion..."
Olaer, the female doctor who came to Privet Drive with Fleck Bryce, also remembered this incident, but what she remembered... and the information that Laker knew were completely different.
"This is the power of magic... The wizards of the Ministry of Magic try their best to conceal the existence of the wizarding world. They let the world of wizards and Muggles develop in parallel without interfering with each other..."
Mrs. Arabella Figg finally came to her senses at this moment, she pulled her eyes out of the ring in Laker's hand, and said with great effort.
