“…… When we get out, I'll take care of getting those guys out of the way, and then you can pick up the Remus kid. Okay, don't think about it, it's decided! ”

In the Leaky Cauldron Bar, Aberforth had one hand on the door frame, and even if he made a gesture that could start moving at any moment.

Seeing this, Kingsley could only nod his head.

However, before asking the Aurors to remove the magic barrier, he thought about it again, and finally turned to Sirius and said:

"Go with Aberforth! Your Animagus form is agile and well-suited for this kind of work. Be careful, take them around in a little circle and come back, I'll bring Lupin over as soon as I can." ”

"Well, no problem," Sirius readily agreed, even casually, "Would you like me to go out and take a look around later?" ”

"No, no!" Kingsley hurriedly said, "Maka recommended someone to me who is very suitable for reconnaissance work, and before coming here, I asked her to monitor the nearby area centered on the Leaky Cauldron Pub. Truth be told, her Animagus form is much more stealthy than most people! ”

"Oh?"

Sirius asked with a little curiosity as he let the Aurors and the strikers begin to line up:

"What is it?"

"It's a beetle!" Kingsley shrugged his shoulders before turning his head and beckoning, "Once Aberforth and Sirius have gone to lure most of the Dark Wizards away, you guys will rush out with me - remember to stay in formation at all times, and don't fall in love." The rest of us are here until we get back! ”

At this point, he gestured to the members of the team supporting the magic barrier, and then continued:

"When I count three, you'll be lifted—"

"Wait!"

Before Kingsley could finish his sentence, Aberforth suddenly reached out and pressed him.

"Look outside, there's a new change!"

When Kingsley heard this, he immediately turned around and looked out of the bar.

It can be seen that there are still a lot of dark wizards with cloudy eyes wandering outside, and because the blue flame of the fierce fire bottle at the door has long been extinguished, there are even many of them huddled outside the magic barrier to attack this side.

But when Kingsley stepped over the shoulders of these people and looked out of the periphery, he found that a small number of the wandering Dark Wizards had begun to evacuate in the same direction for no apparent reason.

It seems that the number of dark wizards who retreated for no reason should be around thirty or forty. And that's not even counting what Kingsley didn't see at first, of course.

And more importantly, the withdrawal of these people seems to have a purpose.

"The one who led the way just now left over there, and now there is a group of people who are also going over there...... You say, will there be any connection between the two evacuations? ”

"Perhaps?" Sirius said, "Isn't that just enough to make it easier for us to get Remus over!" ”

……

Just as Kingsley and the others were about to go out to meet Lupin, a small bug was crawling slowly on a street lamp not far away.

And if you take a closer look...... Yes, that's obviously a beetle.

As Kingsley previously stated, this beetle was a scout recommended by Maca, and her original identity was a columnist for the Daily Prophet.

Needless to say, this is undoubtedly the female journalist Rita Skeeter who likes to go around gathering events and then use her shorthand quill pen to make them up.

To be honest, she's never been very likable, especially the people she's interviewed and written into stories.

However, excluding her annoying energy to do anything for the sake of gimmicks, it has to be said that her Animagus form is really practical. In addition, she has always been cautious in her actions, as long as she coerces and lures her a few words, it is indeed quite good to put her in charge of being a scout.

Speaking of which, Ms. Skeeter, who had turned into a beetle, was actually strangely happy now.

Because from the day she worked for Kingsley, the other party had already acquiesced to her identity as an illegal Animagus. From now on, as long as she doesn't go too far, then even if she inadvertently reveals that she is an unregistered Animagus one day, she will not have to worry about being accused and punished.

Not to mention, this time she was on a reconnaissance mission as a war correspondent for the Ministry of Magic, and she was the only journalist in the world who could report on the London disaster in detail.

What could be better than being a journalist-writer and being qualified as an exclusive story?

However, every inch of air in this fog is filled with the smell of danger. If it weren't for the fact that she had such a small and hidden Animagus form, she thought she would probably have turned down the job.

"Oh, actually, so far, it's been pretty relaxed."

After lying on the old street lamp for a while, staring at the dark wizards below, she flapped her wings again and flew off the street with a tiny buzz.

She was going to follow the guys who had turned around and left at about the same time, because her keen sense of smell as a journalist had already told her that she would be able to see some of the latest discoveries that no one knew about.

Flying all the way forward, none of the dark wizards who kept moving down there were any notices of her presence, and even if she flew a little lower without paying attention, these guys didn't react at all.

Needless to say, it suddenly made her feel more at ease.

However, due to the fog all around, it is easy for people to blur the passage of time in it. I don't know how long it took, but Skeeter was a little tired from flying, and then he noticed that a figure suddenly walked out of the intersection in front of him, and he was coming towards this side with a little stiffness step by step.

When she got closer, she suddenly saw that the man was no different from an ordinary wizard. But only those eyes were a strange color as black as ink.

Just like that, the two eye sockets looked as if they had no eyeballs, and they looked quite crazy.

When Skeeter saw this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly moved a little farther away, and quietly landed on the leaves of a tree on the side of the road.

"It's enough here, they can hear what they say and do...... That's enough. ”

Skeeter muttered to herself, and it was clear that she was starting to get a little nervous.

But fortunately, the male wizard, who looked a little evil at first, didn't seem to notice the existence of her little beetle, and didn't look at her from the first dozen to the present.

At this point, she couldn't help but breathe a little sigh of relief first.

Then, she saw that the other party suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, and looked at the dozens of people gathered with a blank face.

"Sin ......" his jerky words suddenly echoed in the street, "plotting to take his life...... It is sin, contributing to your sin. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he didn't even make a move, and he saw that the faces of all the sect members with cloudy eyes and dull expressions suddenly became hideous.

These people seemed to feel some kind of intense pain, and they all tried their best to scratch at their chests and necks, even though they had scratched the scarlet blood marks on their necks.

But at the same time, looking at their originally gray and chaotic eyes, they suddenly became clear. It's just that the appearance of the bloodshot eyeballs is really not back to normal.

Immediately afterward, several of them suddenly seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and their will collapsed on the street with a thud. One by one, they all fell silent, their angry eyes widened, and their pupils faintly spread.

And there are one, there are two, gradually, these dozens of people almost fell to the ground one by one, and soon all fell to the ground and none of them were spared.

It was at this moment that the wizard who watched all this happen took a deep breath. Looking at him like that, it's like trying to suck everything into your body that is not visible to ordinary people.

After a few seconds, he calmly stopped to breathe, and walked around the lying area as if he had nothing to do, and continued to walk on without saying a word.

Skeeter on the tree looked at the "corpse" in front of him, and suddenly began to regret it - what happened just now, it was too evil, right?

Suddenly, she felt like an ordinary Muggle watching a wizard perform magic, and it was clear that the other party was doing nothing, but it just happened out of nowhere!

"No, I can't go on, I'm going back! No, not going back...... It's to leave London, to leave this horrible place! ”

Just thinking of this, Skeeter, who was lying on the leaves, suddenly turned her head, but was shocked to find that the strange wizard she thought had left was actually lying under the tree with his neck tilted, looking straight at him with those black shining eyes expressionlessly.

"Ahh

Skeeter let out a scream of fear and panic in her mind, and she spread her wings and was about to fly into the air. But at the same time, I heard the man under the tree say coldly:

"Greedy, twisted, jealous...... Grave Sin...... Contribute your sins. ”

This time, Skeeter finally found that he could at least understand what the other party was doing - only to see a sticky black substance emerge from the man's body, and with a wave of his hand, the unknown black substance suddenly split into a drop, and hit the beetle that had just flown into the air with great accuracy and speed.

In just an instant, that drop of mysterious substance returned to him and blended in. The beetle that Skeeter had turned into had fallen to the ground silently, still spreading its wings and never moving again.

The man took another breath, then silently turned around and walked away.

And I don't know when, the "cultists" who had been lying on the ground have now all gotten up from the ground and followed him wordlessly and gradually moved away.
