"Here! Come here......"

In the moment of great urgency, Sirius discovered a manhole cover that was by no means large from under the debris placed on the side of the alleyway.

To be honest, but at first glance, it is difficult for the average person to think of drilling into such a small sewer - because normally speaking, it is the size that an adult would not be able to get into.

Sirius, however, who had long been accustomed to drilling around in the form of Animagus, was familiar with this filthy, smelly, but rarely noticeable place.

After quickly waving his wand and lifting the fence-like sewer manhole cover to the side with a "clang", he immediately beckoned to the two Aurors closest to this side:

"You two go down first and clear the way - with the Vanishing Charm!"

Before he could finish speaking, he stretched out his wand again, and pointed at the manhole cover that only children and cats and dogs could drill, and helped them widen the entrance a little.

"Quick, get in!"

Sirius said this, and as he looked at the two ends of the alley, he seemed to be a little anxious about the hordes of living corpses that looked like they were crazy, but because the alleys were too narrow to run fast.

Once they were crowded by so many living corpses, even an Auror with a lot of combat experience like them wouldn't last long, let alone the combination of these Muggles and a handful of wizarding civilians.

"The rest of the team prepare, take out the broom!"

It was clear that he was already preparing for the possibility that he would not be able to squeeze all the survivors into the sewers. If it really doesn't work, then the only way to do this is to take away as many survivors as possible who remain outside, and those in the sewers have to think of other ideas.

For example, digging from a sewer elsewhere and all the way down here?

Fortunately, the two Aurors who had opened up a hiding space below were really desperate this time, and the survivors were able to move in faster than expected.

"Go down too!"

"Captain, you first-"

Seeing that the living corpses on both sides were approaching, although the last member of the team wanted to come to the back of the hall by himself, he was pushed down by Sirius before he could finish his words.

The next moment, Sirius himself jumped down, not even caring about the player who would inevitably step on the player who had just been pushed down by him.

In fact, he did step heavily on the other's shoulder, and the two of them immediately fell into a mess in the widened but still crowded sewer.

But even so, Sirius did not hesitate for a moment, and as soon as he went down, he raised his wand and waved it upward, sealing the entrance in an instant.

"Bang!"

As it went dark as the only nearby sewer outlet was sealed, everyone heard a dull thump overhead.

At that moment, Sirius, who was still directly below, felt even a great deal of sand and dust scattered all over his body.

Needless to say, it wasn't something that ordinary living corpses could do—it was the kind of living corpses that had the ability to cast spells, casting a spell on the place where they had disappeared.

"Illusion Slate! Peacekeeper ...... Protect them all! ”

Ignoring the inconvenience of not being able to see his fingers in the sewers, Sirius continued to point upwards and cast a series of regular protective spells. After there was no more tremor or sound above his head, he lowered his arm and stopped with a slight breath.

"Captain, are you alright? Are there any injuries? ”

As one of the Auror teammates asked Sirius, several lights lit up in the dark and small space almost simultaneously, and one of the light sources appeared on top of Sirius' wand.

"It's okay," he said, holding his wand and moving himself away from the teammate who was being crushed underneath him, before frowning, "but ...... To be honest, hiding underground is not a good idea. ”

As he was talking, the two Aurors who had just stepped down first and were in charge of opening up the space suddenly spoke:

"Captain, do you want to continue widening the sewers and take a break? Or is it ...... Let's just start digging somewhere else? ”

"No," Sirius said, waving his hand, "don't do anything yet." ”

After saying this sentence without hesitation, he continued to frown and said:

"As I said earlier, hiding underground was just a last resort—in fact, I wouldn't have thought of going down the drains at all if I hadn't had no choice. After all...... For us, the greatest danger after stepping into the fog is always Helbo. And if you use the spell so often in a place like the underground, where there are no people at all......"

If it's above the ground, there are still a lot of living corpses that can use magic, so the intruder is certainly not the only person in the city of London who can cast magic. However, if you use magic to dig a passage underground to move, the possibility of being detected by Helbo will increase dramatically.

Suppose they're targeted by Helbo...... It seems that there is little other outcome than total annihilation.

"That'...... What to do? ”

Originally, I thought that I could dig into the ground to a place where there were no living corpses and then consider going out, or even digging alternately and digging directly out of the fog. It must have been a hard work, but it was possible to succeed if they did it.

But who knows, the question raised by Sirius completely cut off the consideration of the team members at once.

It's a pity that looking at the players who are a little at a loss, Sirius feels a little helpless this time.

However, in Sirius's dictionary, there is clearly no word for "give up".

"Don't be discouraged, think about it."

If even the rescuers became sad, what about the survivors they had rescued from the cellar?

Perhaps with this in mind, one of the Aurors also cheered up and thought seriously one by one.

But at this moment, all of a sudden, another roar and vibration that was heavier and more violent than just now suddenly came from above everyone's heads. Even though they were all huddled in the ground, they could feel the tremor very clearly.

On the ground, what's going on?

Just as the survivors were panicking again, the Aurors didn't know what to do. In the next second, Sirius felt as if the entire sewer was about to collapse completely, and piles of dirt suddenly pressed down.

The series of protective spells he had released just now were as if they were fake, and they didn't work at all.

"Boom-"

In the moment when half of his body was buried by earth and rock, with a terrible roar, Sirius's field of vision was filled with a large expanse of inexplicable dazzling light.
