Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 997: The clues of falsity and reality
"Maca, are you going to hang out on the street and try your luck?"
After leaving the wizarding cemetery where Mrs. Pierce was buried, Maca returned to the outskirts of London and continued to walk aimlessly like before.
At first, Sirius thought he had a certain definite destination, so he followed him for a while, but soon discovered that he seemed to be just wandering around.
"Huh?"
Hearing Sirius' question coming from behind, Maca shrugged a little helplessly.
"I know that a certain secret of Helbo is very likely to be in the suburbs, but I am suffering from missing the clue last time...Before 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 haven't gained anything, and his walk here can only be regarded as better than nothing.
"Oh, Sirius, go and work on your side! I can just walk around here by myself... Or, you can walk with me for a while, and we will be at this Muggle at noon. Whatever to eat in the small town?"
As Maca said these words, he also stretched out his hand and gestured to both sides of the street.
In fact, the two have left the previous country road without knowing it. And the roadside houses that were originally a little sparse have become dense again.
Even right now, you can already see several shops with a sense of life on the side of the street.
Seeing Maca mentioning lunch, Sirius couldn’t help feeling his stomach--he was also investigating the recent disappearances last night, and he didn’t return to the old Black house until early in the morning. He actually didn’t eat breakfast. Already a little hungry.
"Okay, let's walk again," he thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Just wait for lunch before going to change shifts with Lupin."
Sirius and Lupin are naturally still working in the Ministry of Magic, but what they both do is not necessarily assigned by the Ministry.
Just like this time, the two were purely assisting Maca in investigating the disappearance and death of Muggles. Instead, the identity of the Auror became a cover for their convenience.
Of course, this is a bit tricky, and Secretary of Magic Scrimgeour obviously knew it well.
"Speaking of, how is Kingsley's recovery?" As he walked, Maca suddenly said, "I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital. There has been no abnormality during this period, right?"
Sirius curled his lips and said:
"Isn't it the whole process that you have been treating? Is there any problem? You know the most...Why, it's rare to see that you are not confident?"
However, Maca really chuckled and sighed.
"It can also be said to be'lost self-confidence'!" He said, "Or, to put it another way-I'm worried that Helbo will have any more undetectable back players."
After a short pause, he could not help but confess:
"Seriously, the more fights against the dark wizard who has awakened since ancient times, the more he can feel his profound background. It can be said that almost every time I see him, I find him He is stronger than last time... and this is just a transitional stage in which he is gradually recovering his true strength."
Finally, Maca spread out his hands, with a little emotion in his tone.
"...So, can you imagine how strong he was in his heyday?"
Because of this, Maca has never felt the joy of defeating the enemy while destroying the opponent's body time and time again. He knew that as long as he didn't solve the opponent's Horcrux reliance for a day, he would never be able to truly eliminate the opponent.
Facing an enemy that not only can't kill, but also gets stronger, this is undoubtedly the most disgusting thing he has ever encountered.
"So, although I am not afraid of Helbo, I do have ‘no confidence’. At least for the time being, everything has to be cautious enough—"
Before the words were finished, Maca suddenly stopped talking, and suddenly turned his head to look at a family in the street.
Sirius reacted very quickly. Although he did not have the strong perception of Maca, he quickly became alert the moment Maca turned his head.
As you can see, it is an ordinary double-storey house. Red brick walls, beautifully manicured lawns, and a row of flower pots placed against the wall—the appearance of similar houses is not surprising here.
But just the second after Maca turned to look, an insignificant 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, but Maca and Sirius heard them.
"Go up and see!"
Maca winked, and walked to the door of the house. When he walked to the door, he didn't see any extra actions. He just reached out and twisted the doorknob, and the door was easily opened by him.
It's like, it's not locked at all.
As soon as he entered the door, Maca heard a loud voice. He glanced around, it was the sound of the TV set in the living room playing the program, and it was not too small.
On the other end, there was a figure shaking back and forth in the kitchen. It seemed that the figure behind it was an old lady who was already a little older.
Obviously, the suppressed whisper just now was completely overwhelmed by the sound of the TV, so that it could be heard more clearly outside.
"I'll go up first, you go and let the old woman rest for a while!"
After giving a sign to Sirius who was following in, Maca ignored the others and went straight to the stairs.
The wooden stairs seem to be a bit old, and walking on it crunches. But he didn't worry at all that this movement would be discovered by the old lady. Soon, he went up to the second floor and opened the bedroom door upstairs.
After that, a thin old gentleman curled up on the bed was immediately caught in Maca's eyes.
The old man seemed to be out of health, so he was still lying in bed in this broad daylight. And now, Maca could see that he seemed to be in a very painful state.
I saw that his dry palms were squeezing his throat, his throat gurgled, and foam even oozes from his mouth.
Looking at those eyes widening and breathing harder and harder, as if he would die in the next second.
Is this sick? No, it doesn't seem to be.
Maca didn't stop after entering the house, and he stepped forward and opened the old man's mouth, and directly stuffed a brown lump that had just been taken out of his waist.
Perhaps the students who took the potions class seriously at Hogwarts can recognize it as a treated dung stone. 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.
It didn't take long before 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, he probably put her on the sofa to sleep.
"It's poisoning," Maca hurriedly replied, and then turned to say, "I'll talk about it later, you'll wait a moment, I'll find something..."
Seeing that he waved his hand and looked at the old man a few more times, then he turned and walked to the door. While walking outside, he seemed to be constantly looking for something.
Seeing Maca inexplicably walking down the stairs again, although Sirius didn't know what he was up to, he knew that he must not be disturbed at this moment.
So, even though he was completely confused, he just followed Maca back to the living room downstairs in silence.
"Hey, is that true--"
After a while, I saw Maca staring at the old lady who had been laid on the sofa by Helbo, and his eyebrows stretched slightly.
"I said why no matter whether it is the missing or the victim, there are no traces of magic on the body... It turns out that the abnormality that has never been found is hidden in the body of the perpetrator!"
At this point, his brows, which had just loosened a little, were tightened again. Not only that, but his right hand also protruded quickly, waving at the old lady suddenly.
At this moment, a ghost of a soul rune suddenly flashed, and the opponent's soul was torn out by him on the spot.
"The most important thing is that the force that drives Muggles to harm their loved ones is always asleep. Only when needed, they will gradually wake up and affect the Muggles that are possessed. "
At this moment, I can see that in the soul of the old lady, there is obviously a group of gray-black things squirming and shrinking... and it is about to merge into the soul again to hide and hide Up.
"Sirius, I'm afraid we will have our lunch today," Maca said without looking back. "Go to the Ministry of Magic and inform Scrimgeour of those who have killed people during our investigation. The Muggles are gathered together, and the case information is provided by us-if necessary, you can contact the old bishop Mr. Davidson for assistance from the Muggle royal family~IndoMTL.com~ It is obvious that what he said just now was not just talking to himself, but rather Said to Sirius.
After the latter learned about Maca's discovery, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter-which means that those Muggles are very likely to continue to kill people against their intentions!
"I'll be over..." Before leaving, Sirius did not forget to ask at the end, "Well, by the way, do we from the Order of the Phoenix also need to help?"
But even though Macadam shook his head.
"There are enough people in the Ministry of Magic. Our people are on standby temporarily. There may be more important things for everyone to do in a while." He said, "I will take this old lady to Saint Mungo first. Go there and find me if you have something to do."
