Chapter 997
Maka, are you going to hang out on the street all this time and try your luck?
After leaving the wizard cemetery where Mrs. Pierce was buried, Maca returned to the outskirts of London, and continued to walk aimlessly as before.
At first Sirius thought he had some definite destination, so he followed him for a while, but soon realized that he seemed to be wandering at all.
Ok?
Hearing Sirius' question from behind, Maca shrugged helplessly.
I know that Hai Erbo's secret is very likely to be in the suburbs, but I lost the clue last time...Until I think of a better way, I can only try my luck while thinking about it!
In fact, not only himself, but also the little spiders he sent out have narrowed their search range. It's a pity that even they still haven't gained anything, and his walk here can only be regarded as better than nothing.
Oh, Sirius, go and get busy with your affairs! I'll just take a walk here by myself... Or, you can just walk with me for a while, and we'll be in this Muggle town by noon Anything to eat?
At the same time as Maca said these words, he also stretched out his hand and gestured to both sides of the street.
In fact, the two had already left the previous country mountain road without knowing it. And the roadside houses that were a little sparse before became dense again.
Even now, there are already several shops with a sense of life on the street.
Seeing Maca mentioning lunch, Sirius couldn't help rubbing his stomach - he was also investigating the disappearance cases that happened frequently in recent days, and he didn't return to Black's old house until early in the morning. He was actually a little hungry now after he didn't eat breakfast up.
Ok,
Then go for a walk. He thought for a while, and finally nodded, Just wait for lunch and go directly to change shifts with Lupin.
Sirius and Lupine are naturally still working in the Ministry of Magic, but what they do may not be assigned by the Ministry of Magic.
Just like this time, the two were purely assisting Maca to investigate the disappearance and death of Muggles, and their identities as Aurors instead became a cover for their convenience.
Of course, Minister of Magic Scrimgeour is clearly aware of this trickiness.
Speaking of which, how is Kingsley's recovery? Maca suddenly said as he walked, I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital. Has there been any abnormality during this time?
Sirius immediately curled his lips and said:
Aren't you the one who has been treating the whole process? You are the one who knows best if there is any problem... Why, it's rare to see that you don't have confidence?
However, Maca really just chuckled and sighed.
It can also be said to be 'not confident'! He said, or, to put it another way-I'm worried that Hai Erbo will leave behind some undetectable backhands.
After a short pause, he couldn't help but confess:
To be honest, the more times I fight against the dark wizard who has awakened from ancient times, the more I can feel his incomparably profound background. It can be said that almost every time I see him, I find that he is more powerful than the last time. Even stronger...and this is just a transitional stage in which he is gradually recovering his true strength.
At the end of speaking, Maca spread out his hands, and there was a little emotion in his tone.
...So, can you imagine how strong he was in his heyday?
Because of this, while Maca destroyed the opponent's body time and time again, he never felt the joy of defeating the enemy. He knew that as long as he didn't get rid of the opponent's Horcrux dependence for a day, he would never be able to truly destroy the opponent.
Facing an enemy who is not only invincible, but also getting stronger and stronger, this is undoubtedly the most disgusting thing he has ever encountered so far.
So, although I'm not afraid of Hai Erbo, I do have 'no confidence'. At least for the time being, everything has to be cautious—
Before he finished speaking, Maca stopped talking suddenly, and suddenly turned his head to look at a family on the street.
Sirius' reaction was also quick. Although he didn't have Maca's strong perception, he quickly became alert the moment Maca turned his head.
It can be seen that it is an ordinary two-storey house. A red brick fence, a beautifully manicured lawn, and a row of plant pots lined up against the wall—a similar look is not surprising here.
But the second Maca turned his head to look, an inconspicuous cry of pain suddenly sounded from the closed window on the second floor. The Muggles walking on the streets of this small town didn't notice it, but both Maca and Sirius heard it.
Go up and have a look!
Maca winked, and then walked towards the door of that family's house. When he walked to the door, he didn't see any unnecessary movements. He just stretched out his hand and twisted the doorknob, and the door was easily opened by him.
It was as if it wasn't locked at all.
As soon as he entered the door, Maca heard a burst of noisy voices. He looked left and right, and saw the sound of the TV playing in the living room, and it was really loud.
On the other side, there was a figure swaying back and forth in the kitchen, and the figure from the back should be an old lady.
Obviously, the suppressed whisper just now was completely covered by the sound of the TV, so that it could be heard more clearly outside.
I'll go up first, you go and let that old lady rest for a while!
After signaling to Sirius who came in, Maca ignored the others and walked straight to the stairs.
The wooden stairs seem to be a little old, and they creak when walking on them. But he was not at all worried that the old lady would find out about this movement. Soon, he went up to the second floor and opened the door of the upstairs bedroom.
Immediately afterwards, a thin old man curled up on the bed immediately came into Maca's eyes.
The old man seemed to be dying of health, that's why he was still lying on the bed in broad daylight. But now, Maca could see that he seemed to be in quite a painful state.
I saw that his pair of dry palms were strangling his throat tightly, his throat was rattling, and white foam was even oozing from his mouth.
Looking at the staring eyes and increasingly difficult breathing, it seems that he will die immediately in the next second.
Is this sick? No, it doesn't seem to be.
Maca didn't pause after entering the room, and stepped forward to open the old man's mouth, and directly stuffed a tan lump that had just been taken out from his waist into it.
Perhaps any student who has taken a serious Potions class at Hogwarts will recognize it as a treated bezoar. And its function is also very simple and clear, that is, detoxification.
Maca's judgment is very accurate. Sure enough, the old man's face soon turned from blue to red, and his breathing gradually became smoother.
Not long after, the other party was temporarily out of danger and fell into a restorative coma.
How? What happened?
At the same time that Maca saved the old man's life, Sirius also ran up from downstairs. As for the old lady below, she was probably put to sleep on the sofa by him.
It's poisoning, Maka hurriedly replied, and then turned around, I'll talk about the specifics later, you wait a moment, I'll find something...
But he waved his hand, looked at the old man a few times, then turned and walked towards the door. While walking out, he seemed to be constantly looking for something.
Seeing Maca walking down the stairs again inexplicably, although Sirius didn't know what he was doing, he also knew that he must not be disturbed at this moment.
Therefore, even though he was completely bewildered, he just followed Maca back to the living room downstairs in silence.
Tsk, is that really the case—
After a while, I saw Maca staring closely at the old lady who was laid down on the sofa by Hai Erbo, her brows slightly relaxed.
I said why, no matter whether it is the missing person or the victim, there is no trace of magic on his body... It turns out that this abnormality that has never been found is hidden in the body of the perpetrator!
At this point, his brows that had just loosened a little bit were tightened again. Not only that, but his right hand was also quickly stretched out, beckoning at the old lady suddenly.
At this moment, the phantom of a soul rune suddenly flashed, and the opponent's soul was pulled out by him on the spot.
And the most important thing is that the power that drives Muggles to kill their relatives is usually dormant. Only when needed, they will wake up in stages and affect the possessed Muggles.
At this moment, it can be seen that in the soul of the old lady, there is obviously a group of gray-black things wriggling and shrinking... and it is about to merge into the soul again and hide.
Sirius, we must have eaten our lunch today, Maca said without turning his head, Go to the Ministry of Magic and inform Scrimgeour that all the Muggles in our investigation who have murdered people will be killed. Gather up, the case information is provided by us - if necessary, you can contact the old bishop, Mr. Davidson, to seek the assistance of the Muggle royal family.
What he said just now was obviously not to himself, but to Sirius.
After the latter got a general idea of Maca's discovery, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter-this means that those Muggles are very likely to continue to kill people against their original intentions!
I'll be there right now... Before leaving, Sirius still didn't forget to ask at the end, Well, by the way, do we people from the Order of the Phoenix also need to help?
But Ma Kadang even shook his head.
There are enough people in the Ministry of Magic. Our people are temporarily on standby. There may be more important things to do in a while. He said, I will take this old lady to St. Mungo's first, and I will go there if I have something to do Find me.
