Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2121: Black cage
"...How long shall we go? Where is the venue of the trial meeting?"
"The venue is on the basement floor."
"Then which floor are we on now?"
"Five floors underground, which is the last floor underground."
The conversation between Luna and the receptionist is reverberating faintly in this unmanned corridor, and has been spreading deeper in the front.
As the receptionist witch said, this is the underground part of the headquarters building of the International Wizarding Federation, and it is also the deepest underground level. Not to mention that it seems that there is no one here now. In fact, even when the Ministry of Magic sent people from various countries to handle official affairs every day, this place is usually in an idle state where no one will come down for several months.
After all, now...at least before this disaster strikes, the two deepest underground levels have not had a chance to play their real purpose for a long time.
But it is worth mentioning that this long underground corridor is unexpectedly not as dark and gloomy as other similar places. Under the illumination of a magic lamp every short distance, this long corridor with white walls is quite bright.
In addition, the corridor seems to have been automatically cleaned. Although it is inevitably old, it is spotless, and walking in it will not make people feel the slightest discomfort.
"Five floors underground?" Luna heard the receptionist walking in front say so, she couldn't help but glanced at the other side's back again, "Oh... it's Mr. Akinbad who wants you to take me. Are you here?"
As soon as Luna said this, the receptionist immediately stopped for a while, and subconsciously looked back at her. Then she continued to turn around and walked forward, while responding:
"Yes, Mr. President wants me to take Miss Lovegood you to meet one...oh no, it's two people."
"Okay!" Luna nodded when she heard the words.
Obviously, she was not at all worried that the other party would take herself to any dangerous place, because she could feel that the receptionist lady did not have any malice towards herself.
Not long after they stayed along the promenade and passed a series of closed silver-gray metal doors, the receptionist leading the way finally stopped in front of another door. I saw that she turned her head and glanced at Luna again, and then whispered:
"Miss Lovegood, please wait a moment."
"Um."
Luna nodded, and then responded. But at the moment when the other party turned around and took out his wand and was about to open the door, I didn't know if it was accidental, and there was a sudden creaking sound from the door.
Because of the silver metal door separated by it, and the door seems to be thicker, the sound is actually not too loud. It's just that the corridor is already very quiet, so it still sounds extraordinarily clear.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Luna suddenly snorted as if she had realized something, and the receptionist could not help but stop the action of opening the door. And almost at the same time, in the shadow behind Luna, a black sharp blade was also quietly poked out.
Luna, who noticed that the black blade was floating, hurriedly waved her hand at the shadow slightly, which made Shabo retract the blade again.
And then, she heard the receptionist in front of the door speak again:
"By the way...Miss Lovegood, I think I still have to remind you first. There is currently a special living corpse locked in it, although Mr. Akinbard has made it possible The ground restricts its movement, but the place to be careful must be careful."
"Well, I know." Luna nodded immediately after hearing it, "But...who is that living corpse? Why do I seem to... feel a little familiar?"
"This—" The receptionist paused a little hesitantly, "Anyway, you will know when I open the door."
Before speaking, I saw that she finally swiped the wand in her hand in front of the door a few times, and finally pulled it lightly. The next moment, with a soft "click", the silver door opened slowly and automatically.
"Kang Dang!"
At the same time as the door was opened, there was another knocking sound from inside. This time without the heavy door panel barrier, the sound suddenly became much louder, and it even made people feel a little ear-shocking.
It's just that, at this point, Luna obviously has no time to care.
"Mrs. Maxim?"
The space inside is not too big, and because there are not too many redundant furnishings to obstruct the eyes, you can see to the bottom by just standing at the door. As soon as the door was opened, Luna had already seen a small black cage, suspended in the deepest part of the room.
Just below the cage, there is a pool that is only slightly larger than the cage—you definitely can’t tell how deep the pool is with your eyes alone, because the pool is installed. It is not clear water, but a peculiar liquid that looks like mercury.
Under the influence of magic, this silver liquid seems to have its own life, and it is automatically flowing back from the pool to the air. They are like strips of metal tentacles, spiraling around the cage, slowly undulating and flowing non-stop.
To be honest, this scene looks a little scary.
"Clang Cang--"
As Luna took a closer look, the figure curled up in the black cage... which looked like Mrs. Maxim suddenly moved suddenly and made a loud noise. The huge force smashed the clearly sturdy cage and shook it slightly.
But at this moment, another voice rang from the room, which immediately attracted Luna's attention.
"Miss Lovegood?"
"Ursula? Oh~IndoMTL.com~It turned out to be you...no wonder why I felt like I felt another familiar magic just now."
Yes, Luna didn't expect that Ursula, who had just heard that she had left Busbarton not long ago, also came to the Federation.
Of course, if the professor at the school gate could make it clear earlier, she would probably not be so surprised now.
"Are you also invited by Mr. Akinbad?" Luna set aside the black cage when she saw Ursula, lifted her foot and walked straight into it. Go in, "You don't know, I'm looking for you!"
At the same time, the previous receptionist who was in charge of leading the way followed into the room and took the silver-gray door back again.
"Two people, please have time to talk about the old things! Miss Geoffrey, after this morning, do you have any gains here? You know, it’s about Mrs. Maxim. How is her current situation?"
