Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1210: The Collector of Sins
"...When I go out, I will be responsible for leading those guys away, and then you can pick up that kid from Remus. Okay, don't worry about it, that's it!"
In the Broken Cauldron Bar, Aberforth had put a hand on the door frame, as if he could start acting at any time.
Kingsley nodded after seeing this.
But before asking the Aurors to remove the magic barrier, he thought about it again, and finally turned to Sirius and said:
"You and Aberforth go together! Your Animagus form is agile and suitable for this kind of work. Be careful and take them back in a small circle. I will do it as soon as possible. Brought Lupin here."
"Well, no problem," Sirius agreed readily, and even casually said, "Would you like me to go out and explore the surrounding situation later?"
"No, no need!" Kingsley hurriedly said, "Maca recommended me a person who is very suitable for investigative work. Before coming here, I asked her to focus on the Broken Cauldron Bar. The area nearby. To be honest, her Animagus form is much more hidden than most people!"
"Oh?"
Sirius asked the Auror and the batter to prepare in line, and asked a little curiously:
"What is it?"
"It's a beetle!" Kingsley shrugged, before turning his head to greet him, "After Aberforth and Sirius go to lead most of the dark wizards away, you will rush out with me— —Remember to stay in line at all times and don’t love to fight. The rest will stay here and wait for us to come back!"
Speaking of this, he gestured to the team members supporting the magic barrier, and then continued:
"When I count three times, you will release--"
"Wait first!"
Before Kingsley finished speaking, Aberforth suddenly reached out and held him down.
"Look at the outside, there are new changes!"
When Kingsley heard the words, he suddenly turned his head back and looked outside the bar.
You can see that there are still many dark wizards with cloudy eyes wandering outside right now, and because the blue flame of the fire bottle at the door has long been extinguished, many even squeezed outside the magic barrier to attack here. of.
When Kingsley crossed the shoulders of these people and looked to the outside, he found that a small part of the dark wizards who wandered around started to evacuate in the same direction for no reason.
It seems that the number of black wizards who retreat for no reason should be around thirty or forty. Of course, this does not include the part that Kingsley didn't see at first.
More importantly, these people's withdrawals seem to have a purpose in every way.
"The one who was headed just now left there, and now there are such a group of people also going there... Do you think there is any connection between the two evacuation?"
"Perhaps?" Sirius said, "But isn't this just enough to make it easier for us to take Remus over!"
……
Just as Kingsley and the others were about to go out to meet Lupin, on a street lamp not far away, a small bug was crawling slowly.
And if you take a closer look...yes, it is obviously a beetle.
As Kingsley said earlier, this beetle was an investigator recommended by Maca, and her original identity was a columnist for the Daily Prophet.
Needless to say, this is undoubtedly the female journalist Rita Skeeter who likes to collect events everywhere, and then use her shorthand quill pen to make up and talk about it.
To be honest, she has never been very likable, especially those who have been interviewed by her and compiled into articles.
However, excluding her unscrupulous gimmickness, I have to say that her Animagus form is really practical. In addition, she has always been cautious in her actions. As long as she is intimidated and lured by a few words, it is indeed quite good to let her take charge of being an investigator.
But speaking of it, Ms. Skeeter, who became a beetle, is actually very happy now.
Because since the day she worked for Kingsley, the other party had already acquiesced to her as an illegal Animagus. From now on, as long as she doesn't go too far, even if she accidentally reveals that she is an unregistered Animagus one day, she doesn't have to worry about being accused and punished.
Not to mention, this time she was still performing the investigation mission as a war correspondent at the Ministry of Magic. Like this London disaster, she is the only reporter in the world who can make detailed reports.
As a reporter and writer, what could be more wonderful than qualifying for an exclusive report?
However, every inch of air in this mist is filled with the smell of danger. If she hadn't had such a small and hidden Animagus form, she felt that she would probably refuse this job.
"Oh, in fact, up to now, I feel pretty relaxed."
After staying on the old street lamp for a while, staring at the dark wizard below, she took off again and flew to the other side of the street with a very small buzzing noise.
She wants to follow the guys who turned and evacuated almost at the same time, because her keen sense of smell as a reporter has told her that she will definitely see some new discoveries that no one knows about.
Flying all the way forward and stopping, none of the dark wizards who were advancing below noticed her presence, even if she accidentally flew a little lower sometimes, these guys did not respond.
Needless to say, this immediately made her feel more at ease.
It's just that, because there is fog all around, it is easy for people in it to blur the passage of time. I don't know how long it took, and Skeeter was a little tired from flying, and then he realized that a figure suddenly walked out of the intersection in front of him, step by step a little stiffly toward this side.
Waiting closer, she suddenly saw that the man was no different from an ordinary wizard. But those eyes alone were a strange color as pitch black as ink.
It looks like this, the two eye sockets seem to have no eyeballs, and they look quite crippled.
When Skeeter saw it, he couldn't help but trembled. He moved a little further away and quietly landed on the leaves of a tree on the side of the road.
"This is enough. They can hear and see what they say and do... That's enough."
Skeeter whispered to herself inwardly, and it was obvious that she had begun to feel a little nervous.
But fortunately, the wizard who seemed a little evil at first didn't seem to notice the existence of her little beetle. From the time he met up to now, he hasn't looked at her.
At this point, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief first.
After that, she saw that the other party suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, and looked at the dozens of people who had gathered with no expression.
"Sin..." His jerky words suddenly reverberated in this street, "Killing your lives... is sin, and contributes to your sins."
Before the words fell, he didn't even move, and he saw all the sullen faces of all the teachers with muddy eyes and sluggish expressions suddenly turned ugly.
These people seemed to feel some kind of violent pain, and all of them tried their best to grasp their chest and neck, even if they were scratched with scarlet blood on their necks, they did not stop.
At the same time, looking at their originally gray, black and chaotic eyes, they suddenly became clear. It's just that the eyeballs covered with bloodshot looks, really can't be called back to normal.
Immediately afterwards, several of them suddenly seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and immediately collapsed and fell on the street with a thump. One by one, they all lost their voices, and their pupils faintly spread as they glared.
There were one and two. Gradually, these dozens of people almost fell to the ground one by one, and soon all fell to the ground without any exception.
At this moment, the wizard who watched this happened coldly took a deep breath. Seeing him like that is like trying to **** all the things that ordinary people can't see into one's own body.
After a few seconds, he calmly stopped breathing, and went around the area lying on the floor like an okay person, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
Skeet on the tree looked at the "corpse" in front of him, and suddenly began to regret--what was the situation just now? Isn't it a bit wicked?
Suddenly, she felt like an ordinary Muggle watching a wizard perform magic, obviously the other party did nothing, but things just happened out of thin air!
"No, I can't go on any longer, I want to go back! No, not going back...I want to leave London and leave this terrible place!"
Just thought of this. Skeeter, who was lying on the leaves, turned her head suddenly, but was stunned to find that the strange wizard she thought she had left was actually sitting under the tree with her neck up, and using that expressionlessly The shiny black eyes looked straight at him.
"Ah!"
Skeeter burst into a scream mixed with fear and panic~IndoMTL.com~ She opened her wings and was about to fly up. But at the same time, I heard the person under the tree coldly and authentically:
"Greed, distortion, jealousy...big sin...contribute your sin."
This time, Skeeter finally found that he could at least see what the other person was doing-a sticky black substance suddenly emerged from the person, and as he raised his hand, the unknown A drop of black matter suddenly separated, and it hit the beetle that had just flown into the air very accurately and quickly.
Only for an instant, that drop of secret matter came back to him and blended in. But the beetle that Skeeter had turned into has silently fallen to the ground, still maintaining the movement of spreading its wings and no more movement.
The man took another light breath, then turned his head silently and left.
And I don't know when, the "congregants" who had been lying on the ground have now climbed up from the ground stupidly, and also followed him silently.
