Chapter 131 Are you an undercover agent, Snape?

In a deep, quiet and well-protected underground fortress, sparse black mist floated in from all directions, forming a weak figure of Voldemort.

After arriving at this bunker, Voldemort was obviously relieved.

This is an underground building made by gathering the financial, human and material resources of many very wealthy pure-blood families. It is also the most confidential gathering base that he asked the Death Eaters to build after his return.

Although the construction time is still too short, the structure, furnishings and decoration of the bunker are currently very crude. However, under the influence of various magical powers in the magical world, the general structure of the bunker has been clearly constructed in a short period of time. At least there is no problem in hiding people.

Most importantly, the bunker was placed under the Fidelity Curse by Voldemort, who himself became the Keeper of Secrets.

In other words, unless he himself became an undercover Death Eater, no one other than Death Eaters would know the location of the bunker!

This bunker is one of the bases for Voldemort to make a comeback.

Before this operation, he thought that he had formulated a second plan very carefully, leaving himself a way out to prevent it from failing like the last operation to steal the magic stone, and having to use the Horcrux again. Get strength...

Voldemort shook his head, calmed down, straightened out his embarrassed image and expression, and then sat at the long table in the conference room, waiting for the arrival of many Death Eaters.

Within a moment, amidst bursts of "bang" and "bang" sounds, the Death Eaters apparated to the bunker one by one, sitting around the long table the way they would sit at a meeting in Malfoy Manor. of a circle.

Different from their previous image of being arrogant, mysterious, or arrogant, these Death Eaters were in a state of embarrassment after the battle with Scrimgeour's Aurors, and their uniform black robes and masks had become Tattered.

Voldemort looked around and found that there were very few people in the entire meeting who were not injured!

"Scrimgeour brought just a few Aurors, and I also beat two of their leaders to the point of losing their ability to fight for you..." He said coldly, "I didn't expect you, all kinds of people in the wizarding world, to lose their ability to fight..." The elites are still being tortured into such a miserable state."

"What a bunch of trash!"

Voldemort scolded his men sternly, completely forgetting that he had just tried his best to escape and was in the same embarrassment as them.

The Death Eaters also complained secretly in their hearts.

Twelve years have passed. When they first chose to follow Voldemort, they were young and energetic, with high fighting spirit. Of course, they had a strong desire to fight and superb combat effectiveness.

However, most of them are now in their thirties or forties, and some of the older ones are even in their forties or fifties. These noble pure-bloods or elites in the magic world have been used to living a pampered life for twelve years——

These people should be gaining weight, and they should be suffering from kidney deficiency. Not to mention their improvement in combat power, there are very few who are not regressing!

All in all, the ranks of Death Eaters are certainly no longer as strong as they once were.

What's more, with their numerical advantage, they were able to firmly gain the upper hand in the battle with the Aurors at the beginning.

But Voldemort's behavior of sneaking away alone really gave them a "surprise", which made the Death Eaters instantly give up the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

Wizards of this age have long passed the age of youth and frivolity, and all of them are smart and cunning. Who is willing to fight for a Dark Lord who he escaped first?

Compared with wizards who have lost their desire to fight, and those who fight for justice in their hearts, the gap naturally widens.

As for the messy clothes and bloody wounds on the Death Eaters, they may not all have been formed in the process of fighting Aurors——

In fact, some of the wounds were made by the human Death Eaters themselves, and some of the damaged clothes were also torn by themselves.

If you don't do this and let the Dark Lord see others fighting bloody battles, with their clothes torn and bruised, but you are the only one who is clean and neat, what will he think?

Comparing the Dark Lord's anger with his own embarrassment for a few minutes, those human beings were certainly not willing to face the Dark Lord's anger!

The most typical example is Lucius.

As a glorious wallflower, he was already fishing when he first started fighting.

Facing the attacks from the Aurors, Lucius hid at the back of the crowd and kept casting some useless but fancy-looking spells, as if he was trying his best.

At the same time, his expression was also very exaggerated. He gritted his teeth and shouted slogans loudly, but the wand in his hand often failed to move.

What's even more outrageous is that Lucius secretly recited the water-creating spell "Clear water like a spring" when no one was paying attention, wiped the water on his forehead, and dressed himself up to look like he was sweating profusely and struggling. To the point of collapse...

After Voldemort took the lead in escaping, Lucius was the first to respond to Voldemort's "call" to escape, and immediately sprinted from the back of the team to the coast that was not covered by the anti-Apparition curse, and fled the island.

Before being summoned by Voldemort to come to the bunker for a meeting, he directly asked his wife, Narcissa Malfoy, to cast many harmless but tragic-looking spells on him.

As a result, Lucius, who had no wounds on his body and even few wrinkles in his clothes, became the most embarrassed Death Eater present...

"Forget it, I didn't expect you people to be able to accomplish anything." Seeing the extremely embarrassed and hard-working Death Eaters, Voldemort was only superficially angry and did not continue to hold them accountable. "Let's talk about it. How much was lost, Nott?”

"Yes, Master." Nott stood up and said in detail, "According to my preliminary statistics, it can be judged that Yaxley has been captured by the Ministry of Magic; in addition, McNeil did not He ran away and was hit in the back by a stun spell; and..."

He spoke the names of several Death Eaters. These are the people on the list who did not come back during this operation.

Voldemort nodded slowly and suddenly looked around at the Death Eaters with a critical eye.

"We lost a lot of our comrades during this operation." He asked softly, "So, I think you all must be surprised why I left Azkaban before rescuing our comrades who stayed in Azkaban." .”

"I guess some of you will think that I didn't keep my promise...am I right, the Death Eaters here?"

"Don't dare, you must have your own ideas." Before he could sit down, Nott quickly said with a smile, "Your ideas are far beyond our understanding. We dare not speculate..."

"Nott is right, I do have some other ideas." Voldemort glanced at Nott with satisfaction and then said, "But these ideas of mine are not because I don't want to save our companions, but because I can't. Go save them!"

The Death Eaters on the long table suddenly showed a bit of surprise.

"Perhaps you don't know yet?" Voldemort's scarlet eyes suddenly widened and he stared at everyone present indifferently, "I just confirmed that there are undercover agents from Dumbledore and others in the Death Eaters' team!"

"If we rescue our companions in Azkaban at this time, it will put them in danger again after they have just escaped from the sea of ​​suffering."

"So I left Azkaban." Voldemort came up with a reasonable reason, so as not to embarrass himself too much. "As for when to rescue our companions in Azkaban, we still need to think long and hard!"

Upon hearing the news "confirmed to have an undercover agent" from Voldemort's mouth, the Death Eaters were collectively stunned, and then began to look at other people around them with suspicion.

Among them, Lucius, who was in tatters, jumped up in shock.

He subconsciously thought that Voldemort had learned about his tip-off to Dracula.

Voldemort was about to reveal who the real undercover was to the Death Eaters present, when he saw Lucius jump up.

"Lucius, do you have anything to say?" he asked with some confusion.

Lucius looked at Voldemort's slightly puzzled expression, and suddenly realized that his low-key behavior had not yet been exposed, and the big stone hanging in his heart suddenly fell.

But now a new problem arises. How can he explain the reason for jumping up so as not to arouse the suspicion of the suspicious Dark Lord?

Lucius took a slow breath, showed a righteous expression, then clenched his hands into fists and raised them high above his head——

"I am sworn in with the undercover!" he shouted.

Voldemort: "..."

A group of Death Eaters: "..."

"Sit down first, Lucius." Voldemort twitched the corner of his mouth and motioned for Lucius to sit down, "I have found the undercover, but he probably won't have the courage to come and see me again."

"Master, who is that traitor?" Nott asked, "I will definitely make him pay for this!"

"That traitor is—"

Before Voldemort finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and a green flame suddenly lit up in the fireplace in the conference room, illuminating the dim room.

A wizard with a sallow complexion and long greasy hair, wearing a black robe, strode out of the flames and said eagerly as he walked:

"Master, I have something very important to report to you!"

For a moment, the attention of everyone present turned to this belatedly arrived wizard.

"Severus Snape, you traitor, you actually have the nerve to come back to see me?!" As soon as he saw the visitor, Voldemort's scarlet eyes seemed to burst into intense fire, and his voice was extremely cold and bone-chilling.

"What?!"

"Severus is a traitor?"

"How can this be?!"

When the Death Eaters heard Voldemort's words, they immediately exploded. They couldn't believe that one of the Dark Lord's most trusted men was actually an undercover agent on Dumbledore's side.

Not only were the Death Eaters surrounding the long table extremely surprised, but even Snape showed a bit of astonishment.

"Master, you may have some misunderstandings about me." But soon, he adjusted his mood and said calmly, "You know me, master, there is no way I can become a traitor!"

"Then how do you explain the map you gave me?" Voldemort said coldly, "Dracula has long been on the island of Azkaban, but the map you made represents Dracula. But Gullah’s red dot has stayed in Hogwarts, almost untouched!”

"As far as I know, this is most likely because Dracula has learned that there is something wrong with the gift I gave him, so he left it in Hogwarts Castle." Snape explained, "Dracula There is no set pattern to what La does, and no one can predict where he will go next.”

"I don't think this can be used as evidence that I am an undercover agent!"

"Are you being stubborn?" Voldemort smiled coldly, "Then let me see, how do you explain the other thing -"

"Our last version of the plan was only officially completed before the operation. It would take at least a few hours to transmit the information to Dumbledore and Dracula in time. By that time, the operation was of course completed perfectly!"

"However, I saw Dracula outside the Azkaban prison who had been waiting for a long time... Such speed cannot be communication by normal means. In other words, the undercover must be lurking in Hogwarts. Get the moon!”

"There are only two people in our camp lurking in Hogwarts - one is you and the other is my clone."

"Do you want to say that the undercover agent is not you, but my clone?" Voldemort sneered and said, "How could I betray myself? How ridiculous!"

"But that's what I want to say, Master!" Snape said suddenly, "Your clone behaved very abnormally tonight. I suspect that he is really the undercover you are looking for!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Voldemort laughed loudly, "I can't tell, Severus, I didn't expect you to have a sense of humor. Can you actually say that my clone will betray me?"

"Have you started to seek medical treatment in a panic, Severus?" His smile faded, and his face gradually turned cold. "If you find someone on the scene and tell me that he is an undercover agent, it will be worse than what you just said. The answer needs to be more credible."

"I'm not kidding!" Snape said in a deep voice, "Don't you find it strange? He has been doing such a simple thing as collecting blood for half a year without making any progress..."

"Not only that, but as a disembodied clone, he still has your face when you were young. How on earth did he become the assistant teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Even Dumbledore, who is familiar with your appearance when you were young, also admitted it personally His status as a teaching assistant..."

"So I must advise you to stay vigilant and be careful of your clones!"
