The explosion gave Maca an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a magic that Peter Pettigrew had used years earlier. He used the spell that Voldemort had taught him to blow up almost an entire Muggle street, and escaped with his finger severed, and blamed Sirius for betraying the Potters.

But although this magic is quite powerful, it is actually a trick, and it is usually used for emergency retreat. Only those who have experienced it firsthand will understand that any wizard who has time to cast a defensive spell can survive the explosion unscathed.

But this time, Maca discovers that the obscene-looking Death Eater has not escaped with the explosion, but has killed herself.

"So simply?"

Maca stepped forward and stretched out her foot and pulled at the smoky corpse.

The whole body restraint spell he cast in advance made the other party unable to move even a finger, but even so, he would not use the secret method to blow himself up so immediately. Since when did these Death Eaters, who were always full of malice and selfishness, have a spirit of sacrifice?

"Maca?" Sirius and Tonks had already caught up, "What's going on?" ”

"I think you're familiar with the magic of blowing up a street, right?" Maca pointed to the ground, apparently speaking to Sirius.

"That magic Wormtail used?" Sirius reacted immediately.

"A very decisive act of suicide," Marca shrugged, "and it seems that the Death Eaters have learned to be heroic as well." ”

Tonks tilted his head in confusion, apparently disapproving of his claim. Most wizards have the impression that Death Eaters are the kind of people who do anything for their own good, and it is unbelievable that such a thing as self-sacrifice can happen to them.

"Let's go! Go back to the area just now—" Maca didn't hesitate any longer, he beckoned, "I controlled the explosion just now, but the movement must have gotten out, and the Aurors will be here soon to check it out." I think this guy was sent out to find out the situation, maybe with a mission to find out what happened...... It's just a pity that he was unlucky and ran into us...... The Death Eaters' hideout shouldn't be too far from there. ”

Indeed, those Aurors came very quickly. Not long after the three Maca left, they gathered like wild cats that smelled fish, and except for one team that continued to patrol and guard, the other three teams immediately surrounded the explosion site.

"Shakel, a corpse has been found here-"

Three squads surrounded the place, and one of the skinny Aurors looked through the sparkling planks and quickly found the dead Death Eater Murseber.

"I've seen it," it was Kingsley who spoke, looking at his energetic appearance, it was obvious that he had already recovered completely from the original poisoned and weak state, and the recovery was not ordinarily good, "There are not so many people here, you ......"

He was about to send two of the teams out so as not to fall for the enemy's plan, but when he looked at it a few more times, he held back the words that almost blurted out.

"Hmm...... Find out who he is and don't leave anything out. Kingsley paused, pointing to the corpse on the ground and commanded.

Needless to say, based on the suspicious traces of the explosion on the ground, he had already judged some signs. Especially the almost circular separation, one mile and one outside is black and white, God knows what kind of magic spell was used to restrain this explosion? At least with his own ability, it may be more than enough to block one direction, but this kind of all-round closed means is simply unimaginable.

According to the situation in front of me, and then I think that the old Black Mansion had asked about the news here, I am afraid that the guy from Maca has already come.

……

"Maka, did you find anything?"

On the other side, the trio had returned to the location where they had encountered the Death Eater, but after a careful search, they found nothing suspicious.

It's not that it's not a good place to hide, it's the opposite, there are so many places to hide. If I have to say that there are not too many people hiding in each place, if the Death Eaters are scattered and hiding, it can be said that it is possible anywhere.

"There is no sign of wizards hiding, only Muggles." Maca shook her head.

It wasn't unclear that perhaps the other party would choose to hide in a container that had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm to avoid the detection of others. But that thing is really not easy to find, because the effect of the Traceless Stretching Spell itself is to steadily expand the space, and the magic fluctuations it emits are quite inconspicuous, and it is very difficult to sense.

The Auror office also has alchemy props that detect magic fluctuations, although the inspection range is much smaller than his sensing ability, but so many people have not found it after they have searched the net, which shows the problem.

"What should I do, do you want to go to another area?" Tonks asked.

"I can't talk about it for a while! I think it's more likely here......" Maka thought for a moment, "at least the Death Eaters have made it clear to us that they should be hiding somewhere in this Stefki, rather than fleeing somewhere else." ”

"Then keep looking!"

Sirius said, his body suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a black dog. In his Animagus form, his physical senses will change accordingly, especially his sense of smell will increase dramatically, which is one of the reasons why he has been able to escape the Aurors so many times in the first place.

Of course, there are still many gaps compared to real dogs.

After he nodded at Maca, he shook off his limbs and sprang out nimbly. I saw his figure flash between the chaotic shacks, and he disappeared in a few moments.

This Animagus transformation has helped him a lot since before, and it is also one of his proudest abilities, which shows that he has spent a lot of effort practicing on it.

"This dog nose is really good." Maca smiled at Tonks and made a casual quip.

In fact, he was really envious of this practical ability. You know, although his Animagus form can fly flexibly, it has a ...... sense of smell Not to mention, hummingbirds don't have a sense of smell at all!

In the more than ten minutes after that, several people did not gain much. Except for Sirius, who followed the other party's taste for some distance, both Maca and Tonks only continued to wander around twice.

It's such a mess that it's hard to find someone.

But after more than ten minutes, an accident left them no longer had time to search the surroundings step by step, because Maca sensed several rapidly moving magic sources in an instant. They are far and near, but they are all very conspicuous, as if they have escaped on purpose.

There are generally only two ways to break through this situation where there are several Auror detachments with tools to patrol and search. One is to break through in a group and concentrate forces to forcibly open a breakthrough; The second is to completely disperse, and when the search team can't take care of all directions, a few can escape.

It seems that the Death Eaters chose the latter.

Sirius's movements were fast, and instead of turning back into a human form, he ran straight into the form of a big black dog, staring at one of the Death Eaters and leaving the dust.

Tonks and Maca, on the other hand, hesitated, one of them was hesitating for the Aurors, who also started chasing, for fear of being bumped into by their colleagues if they were not careful; The other immediately turned around, with a hint of suspicion in his heart, and turned his eyes to the direction where the guys appeared out of thin air.

"You chase Sirius, and if he messes around, stop him." Maca hurriedly advised, "If necessary, use the Immortal Hidden Elixir immediately, don't hesitate." ”

"Okay."

Tonks also knew Sirius' temper tantrum. A wizard who usually seems quite shrewd is prone to desperation when he is hot-blooded, which can sometimes be an advantage, but more often than not, it will bring trouble to himself.

After Takaka had told Tonks, he pulled his legs and sped away in a certain direction. As he had first suspected, it wasn't very close, but it wasn't that far. If they hadn't done that just now, they would have expanded the search area a little more, and I'm afraid they would have been able to find the right place soon.

It didn't take long for him to see a shack with a hidden door. It was evident that there was no trace of it, but the more it did, the more Maca was sure of her suspicions.

Because now only he knew that those guys had indeed appeared out of nowhere, and they were within the range of his magic sense. If it were someone else, maybe I would have been deceived by the breakthrough illusion they made.

That's right, Sirius and those two Aurors just now are the best proof of this.

"In the end, Kingsley led the team, and knew that two squads should be left to stay put."

Maca glanced in the direction where the explosion had occurred, then waved open the old wooden door of the shack, and a musty smell rushed out of the dimly lit shack.

He reached out and fanned the front of his nose and walked in with a frown.

It was dark inside, and only the holes in the old wooden walls let in a little light. Maca squinted her eyes to adjust to the darkness, and then took a look at the inside of the shack through the few rays of light.

He could sense that there seemed to be a person hidden inside, in the shadows in the corner of the shack. There, a curtain made of disassembled cardboard boxes hung behind the curtain.
