Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1532: Return to the fog
"The movement speed of the fog has become faster?"
The night wind roared, swaying the canopy of the roadside trees, and the branches twitched like a whip, which made people feel like they all possessed themselves like the beating willow in Hogwarts. Will.
It must be said that the gusts of strong wind suddenly rose at this moment, indeed somewhat suspicious.
But obviously, no matter how strong the wind is, it has nothing to do with the movement of the fog ahead. If the arrival of the strong wind can be said to be accidental, then the accelerated movement of the fog...maybe to some extent it is a kind of "man-made" inevitable.
"Hailbo, you are finally here."
Suddenly, Maca stood still slightly in the middle of the road as the accelerating gray fog "snapped" towards him like a wall, and a group of living corpses that were denser than the periphery immediately followed.
For a moment, his ears were full of messy footsteps.
However, as if they were confirming Maca’s words, the living corpses that were still attacking him just now seemed like a collective blind, all ignoring his existence. Hula la ran past him.
If no one has given them the latest mandatory order, it will certainly not suddenly become like this.
At the same time, Maca also stopped attacking at will, letting the living corpses pass by in a hurry. His gaze has been on the back of the army of living corpses that is running.
At this moment, the group of living corpses is about 8 miles away from downtown Canterbury.
……
"Miss Granger...I'm sorry, and...thank you!"
It was obviously not an easy task for Hermione to retreat with a few wounded who could not withstand the movement of space. Fortunately, besides her, several other volunteers and the Auror sent to her by Lupin finally decided to stay and help her transport the injured in the split accident.
It's a pity that there are only two flying broomsticks, which is not enough for all of them to quickly return to Spiral Town. For this reason, Hermione could only allow some people to retreat first, while she and another volunteer drove on the ground with the remaining two wounded.
The effectiveness of the Levitating Charm makes their actions not too difficult, but there is still a distance between the town of Faversham and the city of Canterbury.
"Thanks, no need. After all, every life is precious!" Hermione said as she walked, "Besides, don't worry too much! Helix Town will definitely send someone after learning about our situation. Pick us up!"
"Miss Granger is right," the Auror heard the sound and added, "Also, there is no fork in the road from Canterbury to Faversham. They can meet us as soon as they look for it along the way."
However, just as the two spoke to appease everyone, one of the wounded, who was carried by the Levitating Curse, suddenly became stagnant. Then, I saw her looking at the direction of Faversham Town where everyone had just left, startled:
"Do you think...the fog approaching behind seems to be much faster?"
"What?"
After this reminder, everyone looked back. However, I saw that the large shadow outline that represented the fog was magnifying in everyone's field of vision at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a huge mouth that would engulf the entire world, pressing straight here.
With the increasingly strong night wind, and the particularly deep night caused by the attack of the clouds, one can not help but feel a feeling of suffocation in the chest.
"Quick! Run!"
As far as the current intelligence on all kinds of alienated living corpses is concerned, with the exception of those flying individuals, other types should not be able to keep up with the drifting speed of the mist right now. But even if the flying species weren't actually followed, probably no one would be willing to be swallowed by the strange mist.
"Wait! Don't run to the side! That's enough fog to cover the entire London city, it's too late"
Seeing that in a moment of urgency, one of the volunteers seemed to have the idea to run sideways out of the area that the mist would cover, and Hermione suddenly shouted at the other party.
But I don’t know whether the wind is too strong, or the other party is too nervous to hear it. I only saw the volunteer jumped off the road and jumped into the field by the road, and ran to the north quickly. .
When Hermione saw this, she was about to jump down and chase him back, but the Auror who was following her grabbed her arms.
"If you chase it, only one more person will be swallowed by the mist!"
Lupin wanted him to follow Hermione, but it wasn't for him to protect everyone in the volunteer team. Even if that was the case, he would definitely not be able to do it. His task was to protect Hermione alone.
It's just...Of course, if it's within the scope of the ability, it is natural to save one more person as much as possible.
"Miss Granger, go!"
He controlled the strength of the Levitating Charm, and while carrying an injured patient, he dragged Hermione to run forward.
Hermione was pulled by his arm, pursed her mouth, and turned towards the back who was running farther and farther in the field, until her figure was completely covered by the night, and then she turned her head back again.
"Miss Granger, there is no other way. No one will blame you!" Another volunteer who followed immediately comforted.
But Hermione first broke away from the Auror's palm a little bit~IndoMTL.com~ speeded up the pace as if giving up, but then shook her head vigorously.
"This is not something that others will blame at all!"
However, before Hermione’s depressed mood recovered a bit, they realized after a while that maybe the result of Hermione’s chasing and not chasing just now will be the same. The mist that hits like a landslide and tsunami is faster than them. Imagine much faster!
"Is it still too late?"
Before the words fell, when Hermione and the others turned around again, they found that the mist had chased them not far behind them. After everyone ran a few more steps, the vision suddenly dimmed in silence.
This is undoubtedly a long-lost feeling, although no one will miss the situation of being shrouded in endless fog.
"Fluorescence blinking!"
The volunteer waved his wand in an attempt to create some light, but in the blink of an eye, the tip of the wand that had just lit up immediately went out, even faster than when he was in London.
Needless to say, this mysterious and weird mist is obviously constantly changing...just like the living corpses that have undergone various alienation.
"The direction of the road remains the same, keep running! Don't stop!"
Hermione said just now that the fog that enveloped the entire London is so large that it will never be able to drift over in a short while.
What's more, what danger awaits them in this mist is still unknown.
"Ah"
Suddenly, a sad scream came from the direction where the previous volunteer had fled.
