Chapter 245: Evil Spirits
The rain gradually subsided, and the clouds could no longer cover the blood-colored moonlight, and with the night rain, the scarlet moonlight covered the sky like a thin veil.
In the wide cave, the warm and bright bonfire wrapped everyone in the emerald dream, most of them had fallen asleep, and for the sake of safety, a group of boys were arranged to take turns on duty, half an hour. In this way, there is no delay in rest, and the short period of time does not affect fatigue too much.
Justin Finley sat bored at the entrance of the cave, he had slept for a long time before he took over from Neville, so he had no sleepiness when he took over. In fact, he didn't have the slightest worry about this mission, regardless of whether Mr. Augustus would secretly observe and protect them, but the presence of Lokisol in the team made him no longer have any worries. In fact, he wished that there were any magical beasts now, so that he could see the bottom line of the strength of the intermediate magician.
Picking up a branch carelessly, Justin sighed slightly, to these teenagers who grew up in the wizarding world, that person's name has always been taboo and legend, and now, he and the Death Eaters are back, and the clouds of war may once again loom over the whole of Britain, at this time, if the thigh is not found, I am afraid it will be the first victims and cannon fodder. Back then, that man single-handedly created countless bloodshed and massacres, even the Order of the Phoenix, which is known as the greatest white wizard of the century, did not know how many casualties there were, and even many traitors. Relatively speaking, he was too lucky, as the first member of the Ulius Army, not only did he have an innate power background advantage, but he could also learn the elemental magic inherited by the Ulius family.
"May Lady Luck always protect me." Justin prayed reverently to the moonlight in the sky, his face calm.
"I'm afraid your hopes are going to be dashed." A vicious whisper came from his ears, and Justin turned around in confusion, and at some point, Fred actually appeared behind him, with a touch of breathtaking evil in his pure black pupils.
"What are you talking about? Fred," Justin wondered, slightly uneasy.
"I mean, you should pray to Lord Mammon," a distorted smile appeared on Fred's pale countenance, "Humble human, will it be an honor that you will soon be a member of the Great Race, and that the supreme glory will be upon you?" Money and wealth are at our fingertips, join us, and soon, you will become. ā
Justin's eyes gradually became dazed, piles of dazzling gold coins and jewels appeared in front of him, a touch of greedy thoughts invaded his thoughts, I need money, more gold Galleons, with them, I can run for the Minister of Magic, I can get the support, glory and power of a large number of pure-blood families, as if it was close at hand, Justin had a foolish smile on his face.
"Huh," a sneer appeared on Fred's lips, and with a slight wave of his hand, Justin walked towards the depths of the cavern without looking back.
Half an hour later, Zacharis stood up in a daze, ready to pick up Justin's class, and when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he found that there was no one left, and the cave was dark, and he couldn't find it for a while. Zacharis thought he was lazy, so he went back a few minutes early, muttered a few words, and lay lazily on the wall of the cave entrance.
Time passed, and half an hour later, Creevey began to take over.
Another half hour, Ernie McMillan.
Dean, Thomas.
Lee Jordan.
As it grew dark, Hermione woke up from her sleep and stretched out her arms lazily. Eyes fell on the outside of the cave, and the morning light poured through the clouds on the earth, and the warm halo formed a circle of orange and yellow light spots in the cave.
"These boys will be lazy, and there should be no one before the break point on duty." Hermione shook her head disdainfully, turning to wake everyone up.
Glancing around casually, I vaguely felt that something was not right, and it seemed that there were a few people. After counting the numbers, Hermione realized that at least half of the boys had disappeared.
"Hey, get up!" Anxiously waking everyone up, Hermione screened the missing boys.
"How so?" Marietta showed a trace of doubt and panic on her face, "Even if there is really an enemy, it is impossible to take so many boys away silently, not to mention, so many boys on the substitute shift, if the last person on duty is gone, the next one should also find out and notify everyone, how can they all disappear at once?" ā
Ron's face turned pale, and there was a tremor in his tone, "I said earlier, there must be something wrong with the blood-colored moonlight here, and you just don't listen." What's more, everyone is so close that if there is a battle, they will definitely notice it, but there was no sound at all last night, and in my opinion, it must be a ghost at work. ā
"Are you talking about myrtle? Weasley. Lillian asked calmly.
Malfoy scoffed, disdain on his face.
"Alright, regardless of who the enemy is for now, first we should look around for any traces they have left behind, so that we can easily investigate," Loki said calmly with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, even if the enemy can be as silent as a ghost, they can't be taken away without leaving a trace," Qiu Zhang nodded, looking around at the surrounding mountain wall, "I'll build yƬ, everyone will disperse and look for it first, and then come back here to gather after ten minutes." ā
"Don't bother," a gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the corner, everyone looked into the corner, Fred's face loomed in the shadows, he pointed to the path leading to the deep exit, and said directly, "They should all go in this direction, just look at the footprints on the ground." ā
Hermione lit her wand and looked into the entrance to the cavern, and sure enough, in the light, rows of disorganized footprints appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"It looks like they're going deep into the cave, which I observed when I came yesterday, and there weren't any footprints at the time." Thor touched his chin with a solemn expression, "But why would they go deep one by one while everyone is sleeping?" From the beginning, they had already agreed on the decision not to investigate the situation, how could these people enter alone for no reason, it was really strange. ā
"It doesn't matter if they want to go in on their own or if they're being brought in by something," Loki said, waving his hand, "Now, we have to all go deep to find them, after all, everyone is in a team, and it is impossible to ignore their life and death, so let's get ready, and in a minute, everyone will set off together." ā
Fred nodded lightly as everyone nodded, a smug and vicious smile appeared on his face, and then returned to the shadows, in the dark cave that blocked the sun, and the coldness gradually spread.
