Chapter 997: A Clue to the Uncertainty of Reality
"Maka, are you going to try your luck wandering the streets like this all the time?"
After leaving the wizard's cemetery where Lady Pierce was buried, Maca returned to the outskirts of London, and continued to walk aimlessly as before.
Sirius initially thought he had a definite destination, so he followed him for a while, but soon realized that he seemed to be wandering around at all.
"Huh?"
Hearing Sirius's question behind her, Maca shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly.
"I knew that one of Helbo's secrets was very likely to be in the suburbs, but I was struggling to lose the clue last time...... Before I think of a better way, I can only try my luck while pondering! β
In fact, not only himself, but also the little spiders he sent out had already narrowed the scope of the search. Unfortunately, even they still didn't have anything to gain, and his walk here was better than nothing.
"Oh, Sirius, go about your business! I'll just take a stroll here...... Or maybe you'll just walk with me a little longer and we'll have a bite to eat in this Muggle town by noon?" β
As Maca said this, he also reached out and gestured to both sides of the street.
In fact, the two of them had left the previous country mountain road before they knew it. And the roadside residences, which were originally a little sparse, have become dense again.
Even now, you can already see a few shops with a sense of life on the side of the street.
Seeing Maca mention lunch, Sirius couldn't help but touch his stomach - he was also investigating the disappearances that had occurred frequently in recent days last night, and he didn't return to Blake's house until the early hours of the morning, and he was actually a little hungry now after not eating breakfast.
"Alright, then let's go for a walk," he thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "just wait until after lunch and go straight to change shifts with Lupin." β
Sirius and Lupin are naturally still working at the Ministry of Magic, but what they do may not have been assigned by the Ministry.
Just this time, the two of them were purely assisting Maca in the investigation of the Muggle's disappearance and death, and the identity of the Aurors became a cover for their convenience.
Of course, this is a bit of a trick, and the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, obviously knows it.
"Speaking of which, how is Kingsley recovering?" As she walked, Maca suddenly said, "I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital, and nothing unusual happened during this time, right?" β
Sirius then pursed his lips and said:
"Isn't it all the time that you're treating? You know best if there is a problem...... Why, it's rare to see that you don't have confidence? β
However, Maca really chuckled and sighed.
"I guess it's 'not confident'!" "Or, to put it another way, I'm worried that Helbo will have some more imperceptible backhand." β
After a pause, he couldn't help but say frankly:
"Seriously, the more I fight that dark wizard who has awakened from ancient times, the more I can feel his incomparably deep heritage. It can be said that almost every time I see him, I find that he is stronger than the last time...... And this is just a transitional stage for him to gradually regain his true strength. β
At the end, Maca spread her hands, and there was a little emotion in her tone.
ββ¦β¦ So, can you imagine how strong he really was in his heyday? β
Because of this, while Maca destroys the opponent's body again and again, she never feels the joy of defeating the enemy. He knew that as long as he didn't solve the other party's Horcrux dependence for a day, he would never be able to truly eliminate the other party.
Facing an enemy that not only couldn't be killed, but was getting stronger and stronger, this was undoubtedly the most disgusting thing he had ever encountered.
"So, although I am not afraid of Helbo, it is true that I have 'no faith'. At least for the time being, everything has to be cautious enoughβ"
Before she could finish speaking, Maca suddenly stopped talking and suddenly looked sideways at a family member on the street.
Sirius's reaction was also quick, and although he didn't have Maca's strong perception, he was quickly alert the next moment Maca turned his head.
As you can see, it is an ordinary two-storey house. Red brick walls, beautifully manicured lawns, and rows of flower pots against the walls β it's no surprise that similar homes look like they are.
But the next second when Maca turned her head to look, a faint cry of pain rang out from the closed window on the second floor. Muggles walking the streets of the town were unaware, but both Maca and Sirius did.
"Go up and have a look!"
Maca winked and walked towards the door of the house. When he walked to the door, he didn't see any superfluous movements, but he reached out and twisted the doorknob, and the door was easily opened by him.
It's like, it's not locked at all.
As soon as she entered, Maca heard a cacophony of human voices. He looked left and right, and it was the sound of the TV in the living room broadcasting the program, and it was really not small.
On the other side, a figure was swaying back and forth in the kitchen, and the figure behind it was supposed to be an old lady who was already some years old.
Obviously, the suppressed whisper just now was completely drowned out by the sound of the TV, so that it could be heard more clearly outside.
"I'll go up first, you go and let that old woman rest for a while!"
After signaling Sirius who had come in, Maca ignored nothing else and walked straight to the stairs.
The wooden staircase seemed to be a little old, crunching to walk on. But he was not afraid that the old lady would notice this movement, and soon he went up to the second floor and opened the door to the bedroom upstairs.
Immediately after, a thin old gentleman curled up on the bed immediately met Maca's eyes.
The old man seemed to be in poor health, so he was still lying in bed in the middle of the day. And now, Maca could see that he seemed to be in a rather painful state.
I saw that his dry palms were clutching his throat, his throat gurgling, and even foaming at the mouth of his mouth.
Looking at the look of his eyes wide and his breathing becoming more and more difficult, it seemed that he would die immediately in the next second.
Is this sick? No, it doesn't seem to be.
Maca didn't pause when she entered the house, and stepped forward to break open the old man's mouth and stuff a hard tan lump that had just been pulled out of her waist directly into it.
Perhaps any student who had taken a serious Potions class at Hogwarts would recognize it as a treated dung stone. And its effect is also very simple and clear, that is, detoxification.
Maca's judgment was accurate. Sure enough, soon the old man's face turned from blue to red, and his breathing gradually became smoother.
It didn't take long for the other party to be temporarily out of danger and fall into a restorative coma.
"How? What happened? β
It was Maca who saved the old man's life, and Sirius ran up from downstairs. As for the old lady below, she was probably put to sleep on the sofa by him.
"It's poison," Maca hurriedly replied, and then turned to say, "I'll talk about it later, you wait a minute, I'll find something......"
But he waved his hand, looked at the old man a few more times, and then turned and walked towards the door. And as he walked out, he seemed to be constantly searching for something.
Seeing Maca somehow walk down the stairs again, Sirius didn't know what he was up to, but he knew that he couldn't bother him at this time.
So, even though he was completely confused, he just silently followed Maca back to the living room downstairs.
"Tsk, is that really the case-"
After a moment, she saw Maca staring at the old lady who had been put down on the couch by Helpo, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I said why didn't there be any trace of magic on the body, either the missing or the victim...... It turns out that the anomaly that has never been found is hidden in the body of the perpetrator! β
At this point, his brow, which had just loosened a little, tightened again. Not only that, but his right hand also quickly poked out, waving at the old lady.
At this moment, a phantom of a soul rune suddenly flashed, and the other party's soul was actually ripped out by him on the spot.
"And most importantly, the force that drives Muggles to kill their loved ones has always been asleep. It is only when needed that they periodically awaken, affecting possessed Muggles. β
At this moment, you can see that in the soul of the old lady, there is obviously a gray-black mass that is constantly wriggling and contracting...... And it's about to merge into the soul again and lurk and hide.
"Sirius, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat lunch today," Marka said without looking back, "Go to the Ministry of Magic and inform Scrimgeour to gather all the Muggles we have investigated who have killed people, and the case information will be provided by our side - if necessary, you can contact Old Bishop Davidson for assistance from the Muggle Crown." β
It was clear that he was not talking to himself, but to Sirius.
The latter, after learning about Maca's discovery, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter - this meant that those Muggles would most likely continue to kill people against their intentions!
"I'll go over ......" Sirius asked one last time before leaving, "Well, by the way, do we from the Order of the Phoenix need to help too?" β
But Maka shook his head.
"There are enough people from the Ministry of Magic, our people are on standby for the time being, and there may be more important things that need to be done in a while." He said, "I'll take this old lady to St. Mungo's first, and I'll look for me there." β
