The Aurors had previously scanned every store with relevant equipment and found no problems, so they decided to relax the inspection requirements.

But this time, Ali's standards are stricter.

All areas from outer shelves to internal storage areas, including employee living rooms, basement secret rooms, etc., must also be scanned and searched with instruments.

Some Aurors complained in their hearts, thinking that Eric was just looking for trouble.

If there really are pollutants hidden inside the store, then the store employees might have been infected long ago, and their bodies would definitely not be able to hold on and would change, which would be immediately noticed by them.

You don’t know until you scan it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

We had previously conducted a strict inspection outside the store and found nothing unusual.

This time, the focus was on checking the rooms inside the store, but just as they scanned the second room, the instrument emitted a sharp beeping sound.

The Auror's face looked grim. This was the alarm for the discovery of contaminants.

Aurors quickly went to seal off the area. These Aurors were elites in dealing with pollutants, so Ali was not worried that they would be contaminated.

He simply assigned a small team to handle it and continued the search with the other Aurors.

After walking a few steps, the instrument made a sharp roar again!

Even Ali, who had expected this, couldn't help but look gloomy. They had not even left the room yet, but they had already found the second contaminant in just one room, and they were not sure if there was a third one.

He cursed in his heart: "Those lunatics! Under Bella's leadership, they will definitely go crazy!"

The sophisticated and experienced old Auror noticed something was wrong and asked Ali in a low voice: "Should we ask the Ministry of Magic to send another team for reinforcement?"

The place they are searching now is the staff dormitory. There are two contaminants in the dormitory. There is no doubt that the employees living here must have been infected, but it is not yet certain whether there are contaminants in other places.

As long as the contaminants appear inside the store, there will be employees coming in and out of the location on a regular basis, which means that all employees in the store, as well as suppliers and other personnel who have come into contact with the employees, are very likely to be infected.

As a result, the scope of spread is too large and they obviously do not have enough manpower.

Ali also thought of this and said in a deep voice: "You guys search first, I'll go and notify them."

When Eli took action, Lucius and his group of Death Eaters also left Hogsmeade village and came to the long-forgotten Black Manor.

Death Eaters would not exchange names or identities with each other. Only a few who were on good terms with each other could vaguely guess what the other person did for a living.

In the manor, Bella jumped onto a high table, looking down on all the Death Eaters.

She had black eye sockets, black veins all over her neck, and was very thin, looking like a skeleton. She held a wand in her hand and played with it from time to time.

The last time Bella twirled her wand, she accidentally fired a dark flame, burning to death a Death Eater who often dissented from her opinions.

The black magic flame combines the power of the evil god world and the black magic of the wizard world, and is extremely difficult to eliminate.

When a wizard is consumed by flames, he will think of the most painful thing he has ever encountered in his life.

The wizard does not die by being burned, but dies in despair and pain. In the end, his body will be burned to ashes by the black magic flame, leaving no trace of dust.

From time to time, she turned her back to the Death Eaters, and the Death Eaters could see her high shoulder blades, as if they had grown two humps.

It's not that her body was deformed, but that she was chosen by the evil god again and designated as the incarnation.

When the time is right, she will descend into the wizarding world through her body, spreading her black wings like last time, with significantly enhanced combat power.

The reason why the Death Eaters listened to Bella this time and decided to go to Hogsmeade to deliver the contaminated candies even though they knew that Hogsmeade village was strictly monitored by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic was because Bella was chosen by the evil god as the adventer again.

The Dark Lord has not returned yet, and Bella is the wizard closest to the evil god in the wizarding world. According to the purpose of the Death Eaters organization, they can only obey Bella.

In the dead silence, Bella said in a light voice: "So you didn't drop any pollutants when you went to Hogsmeade this time, and you almost attracted the attention of the Aurors?"

"Haha...hahaha...hahaha..." Bella suddenly laughed crazily, and said ferociously while laughing: "Why are you so useless? Haha, is this the organization the Dark Lord wants?"

She stared at all the Death Eaters with a fierce look in her eyes and stuck out her long tongue. Everyone then realized that her tongue seemed to have turned into a snake's tongue and could reach the top of her head in one fell swoop!

Everyone's heart sank. Has Bella's body become so abnormal that even her internal organs have changed?

Originally they thought that Bella's health had not recovered well and the evil god would not choose her as the descender again.

During previous meetings, they had seen Bella several times, while she was talking, suddenly spit out a large mouthful of black lines, and then she crawled on the ground to collect the black blood with her hands, and licked the black bugs back into her body bit by bit.

Now it seems that everyone was deceived by Bella. She was not as weak as she appeared!

After Bella laughed loudly, she said softly, "I really want to devour all of your flesh and blood and turn it into my strength. I alone can replace all of you."

Her head, which was tilted back, suddenly turned 180 degrees, and with a click, it was straightened forward by the owner's hand.

"Since the Aurors over there are checking very strictly, why not release more pollutants into the nearby villages? I don't need to teach you how to do this, right?" Bella asked innocently, tilting her head.

The Death Eaters immediately turned into black shadows and scattered.

After leaving Black Manor, several black shadows that were flying out quickly suddenly stopped.

They identified the route, turned a corner and flew in another direction, which was the direction of Hogsmeade village.

A short while later, a report arrived on the desk of Minister of Magic Dumbledore.

Dumbledore glanced at the report, and a gleam of light flashed in his blue eyes.

He looked up out the window, then waved his wand. A bright blue light flashed in the air, and the next moment it appeared thousands of miles away.

Dumbledore sent a message to Nicolas Flamel who was far away: [She has become an Advent again. Our chance to capture the evil god has come.]

He thought about it, and sent another message to Babel, asking her to guard Hogwarts during Christmas.

Two more days passed, and Draco had locked himself up for four days without coming out.

If it weren't for the fact that his traceless telescopic ring was filled with a large amount of food, Lin Xia would have wanted to rush in to see if he would be exhausted due to hunger and unable to open the door of the experiment.

The good news is that the next day after she left Charlie's bracelet on the door, it disappeared.

Apparently Draco still had the energy to listen to her message, so he opened the door and put on the bracelet, ensuring his own safety.

The bad news is that professors' patience is wearing thin.

Professor McGonagall talked to Lin Xia again today. If Draco has not come out of the laboratory tomorrow, the school will consider breaking the door violently.

Draco was still just a student. He had not taken much precautions against the power of the evil gods, nor had he learned any special magic to restrain the evil gods. Even though the Patronus Charm he knew was very versatile, it was still very dangerous.

"At the latest, tomorrow night, after your get out of class, if he still doesn't come out, I will follow you to the laboratory." Professor McGonagall said seriously.

Lin Xia nodded in agreement.

After leaving the office, Lin Xia told the other three friends about Professor McGonagall's plan.

Ron asked, "So what should we do? Wake up Draco in advance? Can the professor discover what he's researching inside?"

Lin Xia looked at Ron in surprise, and after sizing him up for a while, she said, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful now. Ron, you've grown up."

Ron looked at Hermione embarrassedly and said nothing, but he was actually complaining in his heart.

For some reason, Hermione had been stuffing him with a crisis management magic book every day. The book taught some common crisis management methods and common spells that were often used.

Hermione threatened him that she would conduct a random check on the magic in the books the next day, and if she found that he didn't know it, she would beat him up and force him to study.

Because those magics were very simple, Ron learned them all after reading them twice. He felt that the magic given in the book was very low-level magic, and even a small evil curse was more difficult than them.

While remembering the spell, I also remembered the crisis management methods involved. The current situation is very consistent with one of the situations described in the book.

Ron didn't realize that his learning ability had improved a lot without him noticing.

On the one hand, because of learning ancient magic code, his aptitude has changed a bit, allowing his brain to accommodate more complex knowledge.

On the other hand, under Hermione's urging, whether he was reluctant or not, he was forced to accept Hermione's knowledge indoctrination in many of his free time.

With the help of learning level-breaking games, his thinking has been broadened step by step, and now learning is no longer a difficult task for him.

Harry also looked at Ron in surprise and patted her shoulder happily.

It is indeed rare to be praised by Lin Xia.

Lin Xia pondered for a while and said, "Let's call Draco out in advance. His method of making strange medicine potions is very peculiar and it is not good for others to watch him.

We have never seen Draco's production process. Perhaps there is some kind of [undetectable] feature. Once seen by others, the potion production will fail. "

Lin Xia was at a loss for words to make excuses for Draco, and just happened to think of this perfect excuse.

I believe Draco doesn't want others to see him "dancing" while making medicine.

The group decided to go to the laboratory and wait.

When they walked into the laboratory, they found Draco had come out with a rosy face.

A group of people gathered around him and looked at him curiously.

He had obviously dressed up specially. Everyone thought they would see a dishevelled, thin-faced and pale Draco, but they did not expect him to be in such good condition at this moment, not at all like someone who had been in seclusion for four days.

As they approached him, they also smelled a scent that smelled like lemongrass.

Hermione was the first to ask curiously, "Draco, how is your research going? Have you invented a new potion?"

Harry asked, "Draco, are you okay?"

Ron said with interest: "I thought you would forget to eat and sleep when you were studying, but now I see that you are stronger than before when you were in seclusion."

The corner of Draco's mouth twitched, and the memory of death attacked him again!

He would never say that when he was halfway through refining, he suddenly had a whim and his body sent out strong hunger signals and needed to eat a lot of food quickly.

If I don't eat a lot of things quickly, this refining will definitely fail.

Needless to say, this is definitely a refining requirement suddenly sent by the Weird Pharmacology!

In the process of refining this potion, he had done many strange things -

This includes but is not limited to dancing, lying on the ground and praying, lying flat on the ground and doing backstroke movements, and the body must really move...

It was just a case of overeating, which was no big deal for him. At least it was better than doing those shameful actions, and he just happened to want to eat something.

But after eating, his body sent out a strong signal, asking him to exercise immediately and convert all the calories he just consumed into strong muscles!

Draco: ...

This is a bit embarrassing.

Draco pretended not to hear Ron's question and answered Hermione and Harry: "I'm in good spirits. I've developed a new type of potion. I guarantee that it's something that the wizarding world has never had before!"

He said this confidently, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Because this potion can poison the power of the evil god's world!"

"Poison?!" The others were confused and shocked. Could it be the poison they were thinking of?

Lin Xia asked everyone's thoughts: "You mean that as long as someone uses the power of the evil god world and comes into contact with this potion, they will be poisoned?"

Draco shook his head: "No, there is no need to use the power of the evil god world. As long as they have those black bugs in their bodies, they will be poisoned. The poison here is aimed at the black bugs."

hiss--

The others gasped. Although they didn't quite understand what the black bug Draco was talking about, judging from his expression, it must be something very important.

Lin Xia looked deeply at the black potion in Draco's hand. The bottle of potion looked black, but under the sunlight, the black would turn into a color, which was black.

"Do you know everything about how to use this potion and what effects it will have?" she suddenly asked.

Draco nodded. "I know that the moment I created it, all its information is no longer a secret to me."

Lin Xia: "Can we dilute it into the wine, or turn it into fragrance and disperse it into the air, so that those wizards who are infected with black bugs will be poisoned?"

Draco thought for a while and gave a positive answer: "Yes, but the time it takes to trigger the poisoning will vary depending on the amount inhaled. If the amount is very small, the fallen wizard can suppress the feeling of poisoning."

But when he said this, he suddenly winked and smiled.

"But I have a way to solve this problem. I can pass on the method of making the potion to you. If you make more, the effect will be better."

Ron said in surprise, "Although I don't know what the black bugs you are talking about are, I think they are very powerful things. Your potion is specifically for those things, and you can also pass on the production method to us. Is it so powerful?"

Draco shook his head. "You have a great idea. I can pass on the production method to you, but even if I, the creator, were to produce it, I can only guarantee a 30% success rate. I'm afraid your success rate is less than 10%."

Lin Xia said decisively: "That's enough. Let's learn now. You should copy down the production method first, and then go to Professor McGonagall. She is very worried about your safety and will have to check your body."

After knowing the effect of this bottle of black potion, an idea flashed through Lin Xia's mind.

As Draco said that it could be produced in batches, the idea became stronger and stronger. Maybe she could do something during this special time of Christmas.

-

After Draco left, everyone rushed to see the production method he left behind.

The more I read, the more strange it seemed.

Ron couldn't help but ask, "Lin Xia, did Draco really not make any mistakes? Could it be that he was confused for a moment and wrote us a recipe that would completely fail?"

Lin Xia thought of the scene of Draco making potion before and was speechless for a moment.

She was silent for a few seconds before she said uncertainly, "I saw that he was very serious when he wrote it, so there shouldn't be any mistakes. Let's try making it according to the method he gave us."

Hermione frowned and said, "This completely subverts the ideas that Professor Snape instilled in us in potions class. Potions can actually be made this way. The ratio of ingredients is not the most important thing in the potion. Instead, various sincere prayers are important, and the invisible thoughts can influence the birth of the potion."

Afraid that they might not understand, Draco had made a lot of special notes, and Hermione's words were in the notes.

Draco specially marked it in bold font -

"This is a great invention that can overturn traditional potions - Weird Potion! Please follow the great Weird Potion rituals! When making it, you must spray it with daisy scent, which is the favorite scent of the great Weird Potion. It is only limited to this bottle of [Pitch Black Potion]!"

When making this potion, you need to prepare not only strange materials, but of course, these materials are not difficult to collect, you just need to find the right time.

At the same time, various actions must be given during the production process.

These movements were varied and in no fixed order, and no one understood their significance.

But Draco also made a special note: [If you don’t follow the strict steps to make the potion, it is doomed to fail]

The probability of success is already low, and with these strange actions, Lin Xia initially concluded that the success rate of [Pitch Black Potion] would probably not exceed 5%! (End of this chapter)
