Chapter 391 Rampage
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The bells and keys collided, making a clear and pleasant sound.
But for Mabel, hearing this sound meant that someone else was going to be taken away.
She was not the oldest child in the dungeon, but she was the one who had stayed there the longest.
Because she had magical abilities, she was treated as a precious resource as soon as she was sent to this place, and the experiments that severely harmed her body would not be used on her.
Later, as more children with magical abilities emerged, Mabel's value declined, and the experiments she experienced became more and more cruel.
But even so, she did not succumb to the organization.
Mabel had a good talent. If she had not preferred death to surrendering to the organization, and if she had not hated the organization even if she had lost all her memories, and even killed an important person, she would not have become a subject of research.
During the years she lived in the dungeon, Mabel saw countless children thrown in. They often went from crying to recognizing their situation within a few days, becoming obedient and learning to obey.
Children always hoped that if they performed well enough, they could leave this place and go home.
They had been dreaming that their parents and the police would rescue them soon.
They had been patient because they held hope.
But Mabel watched coldly, knowing that day would never come.
Once a researcher was bitten on the arm by her accidentally, and the man dragged her hair in a rage from the third floor to the fifth floor.
Dragged to that hell-like place.
The researcher pointed to a broken body and sneered at her: "Did you see it, my dear Mabel?"
"If you were not worth researching, this would be your fate!"
"Two underage wizards will be sent here next month, and then you will not be the only one with magic! How long do you think your special status can last?"
"Don't be so arrogant, Mabel! When you fall into my hands, I will peel off your skin bit by bit... How about making a pair of leather shoes? Your face skin is just right for the soles."
Mabel barely heard what he said, her ears were buzzing, and her scalp was so painful that it seemed to have been separated from her skull.
She was forced to raise her head high, and couldn't even close her eyes, and could only stare at the corpse.
Although only the remains were left, Mabel recognized the other person by the familiar curly hair -
That was the only person she regarded as a friend.
Mabel couldn't control herself and vomited violently, as if she wanted to vomit out her heart.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Yes, the researcher who wanted to peel her skin off alive was the man who liked to hang bells on his body.
Just hearing this sound, Mabel was nervous and trembling all over, and subconsciously felt fear and disgust.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the direction where the bell came from.
The researcher ran in with a box in his hand, his mask was missing, and there was a large bloodstain on his chest.
When he saw Mabel, he was shocked: "Mabel, you dare to run away!"
He quickly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Mabel. Then, he seemed to understand: "Oh, the attacker is a devil like you. They let you out, right?"
Looking at the girl lying on the ground and trembling, and the very conspicuous collar on her neck, the researcher felt that he had understood everything.
The collar exists to limit the magic ability of wizards.
Some little wizards, even if they have not learned spells, will suddenly burst out with powerful power, causing heavy losses to the laboratory.
So later, once their magic fluctuations exceed a certain threshold, the collar will be automatically activated to restrict the wizards from having magic riots.
This "restriction" method is naturally extremely painful.
Presumably, the wizards who attacked the base originally planned to rescue all the little wizards here, but during the battle, the collar on Mabel's neck was activated, and she became a burden, so she was abandoned and left here alone to die.
The researcher quickly looked around and saw no one, and he relaxed immediately.
He walked to Mabel, pulled her up from the ground by her collar, pushed Mabel in front of him, and said viciously:
"Get up, witch! Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, I know you can still move!"
"Hayley..." Mabel asked weakly: "Where is Haley? You took her away... Where is she?"
"Hayley?" The researcher sneered: "The girl died a long time ago! Her heart was removed ten minutes ago! You ask where she is? She may be in the meat grinder! Don't dawdle! If you don't want to end up like her, walk in front of me!"
The researcher scolded and poked Mabel's head with his gun a few times.
He thought to himself that if he was attacked later, Mabel could also serve as his shield.
If the opponent was a wizard, this would still be a useful hostage.
If he could successfully escape with Mabel, then this little wizard would be the "important property" he saved with his own hands-
The children on the island who had no magic, as well as the buildings, instruments or soldiers, were nothing to the people above. On the contrary, these wizards, even if they were used as experimental subjects, still took him seriously.
In consideration of his reducing losses for the organization, the higher-ups might even arrange for him to be transferred to a base with better treatment.
As for the responsibility for the fall of the base, of course it was Zeke and Veronica who had to bear it. What did it have to do with him, a nerd who only knew how to research?
The bell man was making a wishful calculation in his mind. Seeing that Mabel was still in a daze, he kicked her without hesitation-
"Go faster! Do you want to die?"
Mabel was treated so roughly by him. She didn't know what was going on. She was originally in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. At this moment, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if some barrier had been broken.
She heard the sound of her own violent breathing, the sound of blood flowing in her body, and even seemed to hear the sound of magic surging up.
"Click!"
She heard a light sound... This sound came from a very close place...
From the collar on her neck.
Mabel reached out and held the collar, and then she realized that the collar had been completely broken into two halves at some point, and it was just barely maintaining a relatively complete appearance.
The researcher saw that she didn't move, and suddenly panicked, and then there was even greater anger!
The adult wizards who attacked the base were fine, but how could this little white mouse who barely struggled to survive under his hands dare to disobey him?
His first reaction was to teach her a profound lesson, so he took out the strange-shaped gun without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The blue beam seemed to hit Mabel... but it seemed to pass through... and hit the connecting shaft of the conveyor belt.
The researcher looked at Mabel in astonishment, not understanding why the "piercing phenomenon" would appear on a living person.
Black smoke came out of the girl's body. She turned her head and her eyes turned completely white. The place that should have been hit by the gun spread like smoke and turned into wisps of black tentacles.
The researcher was stunned.
He opened his mouth in horror, and his heart was broken. When the black tentacles wrapped around him, he let out a shrill scream!
...
Wade was originally examining the little girl on the bed.
He didn't understand why a child who looked like all the blood had been drained and his internal organs had been dug out could still be alive.
This did not make people feel relieved, but rather a little horrified.
After Wade approached, he waved his wand and cast a few magic checks.
Out of concern for the future, he learned various types of magic, including healing spells, and detection spells were also something he was very good at.
After a moment, Wade put down his wand and showed a look of surprise.
She was indeed disemboweled, but her internal organs were still there.
To be precise, her heart and kidneys seemed to have been removed, but were only replaced in a very short time.
The ability to insert the removed internal organs back safely like a USB flash drive is naturally magic.
Although this girl has no magical abilities, her body organs have seen magic.
The reason why she bled all over the floor but still did not die of blood loss was because she drank a high-quality blood tonic.
The reason for her unconsciousness was the water of life and death.
—— Could it be Dumbledore?
Wade guessed in his heart and quickly shook his head.
The explosions and roars outside never stopped. When he flew up just now, Wade saw several machines flying into the air and colliding head-on, and then falling heavily, with parts flying everywhere.
Dumbledore had no time to save the girl.
Time...
Wade gradually understood in his heart.
——It was him.
He saved the child himself.
——But why?
Too many people died on this island. Although it was a pity for this girl, why did he risk using the time converter outside the school?
He once promised that he would only use the converter for learning.
Although Wade did not usually keep this promise, it was always in school or near the school.
Reversing time outside Hogwarts would likely be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, and then he would lose the right to use the time converter and might be punished for violating the ban.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream.
Wade glanced at the sleeping girl on the bed, poured a bottle of healing potion on her wound, and then ran in the direction of the sound.
When he rushed out of the door, he happened to see a man being pulled into the air by a strange black substance, and then torn apart violently.
Blood spurted out.
Wade's pupils shrank suddenly!
That black, demonic-like thing immediately reminded him of a name -
Obscurus!
When wizards suppress their magical abilities too much, or suffer physical and psychological abuse, the magic in their bodies will brew a dark power called Obscurus.
This thing is uncontrollable and extremely destructive, and it will even burn the host's soul at all times.
But this thing... in the movie, only people from the Dumbledore family gave birth to it... one is Dumbledore's sister Ariana, and the other is his nephew Credence.
Wade never thought that he could see this from an ordinary girl.
But think about the conditions for the birth of the Obscurus - suppressing magic, physical and mental abuse...
Isn't this what Mabel experiences every day?
Not only Mabel, every little wizard here is experiencing these pains... all are potential hosts of the Obscurus...
No wonder Dumbledore said before: This will cause very terrible consequences.
The terrible consequences seem to have already happened, but I don't know if it will become a worse situation.
It happened in a flash.
In the few seconds that Wade was thinking, the Obscurus had crushed the man, and then it violently destroyed the entire building, the conveyor belt was torn off, the machine was twisted or flattened, the wall suddenly bulged and cracked, and bricks and stones flew everywhere.
The terrible and manic magic filled the entire space, and Wade felt that it was difficult to breathe, let alone stop or fight back.
The Obscurus was as fast as lightning. He quickly set up the Iron Armor and Barrier Spells around him, barely ensuring that he would not be killed by that thing in an instant.
This is the power that Grindelwald once coveted...
Even if the host is just a little girl whose magic power is not yet mature, there is such terrible power.
After a long time, Wade once again felt his weakness.
Not knowing whether Mabel still had her own consciousness, Obscurus did not attack Wade who was close at hand. Instead, after wreaking havoc, he plunged through the floor and flew downstairs.
Wade heard the sound of various instruments and buildings being destroyed one after another, and the whole building was shaking.
Presumably, Obscurus was destroying the laboratory downstairs that had caused Mabel so much trouble... Then would there be a dungeon next? The children were still there!
Wade's trouser legs tightened slightly, and he lowered his head and found that they were the two little puppets he had left behind.
"I'm sorry." A puppet whispered, "We didn't complete the task."
"We couldn't protect her because her magic was too terrible and we couldn't move..."
Another puppet explained.
Then the two little guys lowered their heads in shame.
"I can't blame you... I can't do anything about Obscurus."
Wade smiled bitterly and shook his head, and sent the two of them to the side of Hayley's bed.
"Protect her this time. I need to leave for a while."
"Okay."
The two little puppets responded in unison, then sat obediently beside Hayley, watching their master push the door and leave.
A second later, they saw another person flipping in from the window. The two little guys were so surprised that their eyes widened and their small mouths opened wide.
Wade smiled, raised his finger to signal them not to shout, then walked to the bed and looked at Hayley's wound again.
He sighed.
"The healing speed is too slow... There is still such a big gap between my potion level and Professor Snape..."
As he said, he uncorked the crystal bottle and poured a new bottle of potion.
The wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
