Chapter 1424: The Great Cataclysm That Passed By
"McLean, I have to say, I'm just realizing it now...... How wise your decision was to decisively choose to evacuate London en masse......"
"Huh? What happened? ”
In the square in the center of Spiraltown, Maca and Lupin were standing next to the magic statue and talking in a whisper. Not far away, Sirius, who was a little dusty, nodded slightly, as if in agreement with Lupin's words.
"That's right," Sirius said when he saw Maka ask, "You know, I've been secretly patrolling around London with two teams...... Guess what I saw? ”
For Sirius at this time, rhetorical questions are obviously just a way to "make the point". As soon as he asked, he continued as if he were asking himself:
"There are still a few remnants of the ...... in the fog Well, the enemies that were able to manipulate unidentified black matter. We've confirmed that those guys can't get out of the fog range. ”
"However, we have found another enemy!" He paused for a moment, then explained, "They are like the Yin Corpses created by the dark wizards of the past...... Well, the fast Yin Corps. Although it has some resistance to spells, it is certainly not as good as the former, and can construct its own magic shield-"
Judging by Sirius's description, it was clear that he had already fought those "accelerated Yin Corpses". Just listening to him, those new enemies don't seem to be that powerful?
Sirius, however, followed suit:
"But those guys can cross the borders of the fog and run outside without hindrance!"
After emphasizing this point, he glanced at Lupin rather solemnly.
"Anyway, I didn't notice anything wrong at first, because they weren't that different from the original mad wizards, so I just thought they weren't completely removed. Can...... When I led a squad at the edge of the mist and saw a corpse 'stand up' with my own eyes, I knew how those new enemies had come to be! ”
By the time Sirius had said this, Maca had already understood what he and Lupin were trying to say. But perhaps because of the importance of this matter, Lupin still opened his mouth and added:
"Obviously, if so many wizards and Muggles were still in the fog, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable - then Helbo is simply trying to set off a cataclysm in London that could bring him an army of millions!"
"Hmm......" Maka said in a low voice, frowning, "I didn't think that much when I announced it thoroughly...... At that time, I just knew that Helmo wanted to collect souls through slaughter to create new bodies, that's why—"
Unexpectedly, Helbona is still a conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone!
If it weren't for the demonic strength he summoned beyond his imagination, which caused a huge surprise to his plan, it is very likely that Maka's evacuation operation would not be able to make it out in the end.
And by then, with the London metropolitan area of nearly 8 million people...... That would be an unstoppable Helbo, plus millions of "enhanced Yin Corpses" army!
At that point, whether it was for Muggles to use weapons of mass destruction, or for Maca to find a way to use attack magic that covered a large area.
Either way, London can't afford it.
Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue - Lupin said that he was "wise and far-sighted", but he understood that this time it was mainly luck on his side.
And this also made him a rare secret luck.
"Sirius, is there anyone else watching over there?" He thought for a moment and couldn't help asking.
"Of course!" Sirius nodded, "I'll be back when the members of the two squads fix up a bit...... There were many dead and wounded in the city of London before, but in the end, there were still a lot of bodies left untreated, and now there are no people over there. ”
"Hmm." Maca immediately bowed her head and said, "I'll get my spiders to do the same." But they certainly won't be able to step into the fog, and if my little ones die inside and become Helbo's accomplices, that will be a big problem! ”
After seeing Sirius go to rest, Maca and Lupin were silent for a moment, and then waved their hands and put the incident aside.
Anyway, if the worst doesn't happen, that's a good thing, and we have to move on. If you always focus on the gains and losses of the past, it will only lead to no progress.
The next moment, Maca looked back at the statue in the center of the square.
Before Sirius returned, Maca had actually made a preliminary examination, and it was a humanoid statue made of mercury and made of magic. Right now, under the light of the street lamps around the square, the slightly fluctuating surface is shimmering with brilliance.
But who is the prototype of this statue...... To be honest, Maca really didn't see it for a while.
"The Silencers of the Department of Mystic Affairs of the Ministry of Magic have studied it before, right?" As she looked, Maca asked, "Did they say whose statue it was?" ”
"No," Lupin shook his head, "the mercury statue itself is not in shape, and many details have been changed slightly, so to speak, every moment is different. Some people think that it is very similar to the Minister of Magic who advocated the planning of Spiral Town at the time, but when you compare it to the portrait, it is not the same. ”
After hearing this, Maca touched her chin and thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but say loudly at the mercury statue:
"Hey! Can you say a word? ”
It's a pity that he is obviously not the first person to try to communicate with him, and this is not even the first time he has spoken to the other party.
But the statue moved from time to time, looking up at the sky, or folding its arms in contemplation, but it did not respond to the meaning of Maka. This can't help but make people wonder if it doesn't have a will of its own at all, and is just making some moves according to the setting of magic.
"Perhaps...... This is an ordinary statue with a slightly new design? ”
Maca's magic sense doesn't feel anything, and according to the history of the construction of Spiral Town, this thing seems to be just a product of the modern magic world, and it doesn't seem that there is really any possibility beyond the common sense of modern magic.
"Anyway," Maca pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go check out the rest of the town's defenses first!" If there's anything wrong with this statue, maybe you can see some clues in the other details! ”
With that, Maca let Lupin lead the way, and soon left the square and went elsewhere.
But they didn't know that not long after they left, a pair of eyes extended from a building near the square and landed directly on the mysterious mercury sculpture......
