Chapter 536: Cousin Black
Night has fallen, and the heat from the daytime sun is slowly fading over time. Perhaps, it was the cold wind of the night that carried away the residual temperature in the air; Or perhaps, this winter is not so easy to pass.
On the road between Stefki and Wells, the night blindfolded most creatures, but it couldn't stop the spiders. These guys' five senses are basically not sensitive, and what they rely on to observe the world is to perceive all vibrations and experience changes in the temperature around them.
As a result, they were able to accurately confirm the opponent's position even though Bellatrix was invisible, and after discovering that the opponent had slipped and fallen, they launched a timely pounce.
These alienated eight-eyed giant spiders raised by Maca have a powerful visual effect that can petrify others. But if you stay invisible all the time like Bellatrix, this surprisingly useful ability won't work.
ββ¦β¦ Is it from here that the apparition shifts? β
In the middle of the road, Maca sensed the remaining magical fluctuations in the air. It wasn't long before he could analyze enough clear spell information from it.
At his feet, several thumb-sized eight-eyed spiders were crawling back and forth, waiting for Maca to give them the next command.
"Don't wait for me, go out for a walk by yourself!" Maca thought for a while, and found that they were still staying by her side, so she waved her hand casually, "Keep an eye out, if you find someone who uses magic, follow it, and if you don't find anything, go find something to eat yourselfβit's still the same as before, you can eat whatever you want except people." β
Before the words could be spoken, the spiders immediately scattered happily and left.
After a moment's deliberation, Maca pulled out a magic book and tossed it forward, and flew along the road with it. There are still a lot of clouds tonight, and between the shadows and shadows, it is difficult for anyone to find out even if he does not hide his figure.
From here, the town of Dowels was not far away, and he had only flown for a short time before he saw the sparse buildings that began to appear in front of him. As the rooftops of the road became denser and denser, he knew that the town of Wells was already there.
Based on the information she had just obtained from the fluctuations in the remnant mana, Maca discovered that the approximate point of appearance was near the convenience store on the east side of town. There's a parking lot, and there are quite a few Muggles shopping in the store, and it looks like it's all brightly lit.
Avoiding Muggles' gaze, Maca fell back to the ground, and walked a few random steps down the street, quickly finding the exact location of Bellatrix's manifestation. In fact, it couldn't have been easier for him to find a magical location in a Muggle world where there was no active magic.
Of course, Bellatrix is obviously not stupid enough to stay where he is. Maca looked left and right, but didn't notice any other magic fluctuations, as if the other party didn't choose to phantom and leave on the spot.
"If she hitchhikes, it's not going to be easy to find." He looked across the street at the convenience store parking lot and thought left and right.
If a pure-blood fanatic were to ride in a Muggle vehicle, it would be a very incredible thing. They had always been completely intolerable to the existence of Muggles, and they were even more dismissive of what Muggles made. But Maca wasn't sure if Bellatrix would put aside her deep-seated principles when she was in a hurry to escape.
"Huh?"
Just as Maca was looking around and secretly trying to figure out what to do in his heart, he suddenly saw a back in the distance.
No, to be exact, what made him notice that figure was actually the other party's long black hair that looked like a moldy mop. In the crowd, the frightening hairstyle was so eye-catching that it was hard for him not to pay attention.
To Maca's surprise, she was walking side by side with a Muggle woman, who looked like sisters who were not at all serious.
He wouldn't have been surprised if it had happened to anyone else, but it would have been very strange if it had happened to the mad woman Bellatrix.
Would a Death Eater through and through walk with a Muggle? If you ask Maca, he definitely doesn't believe it, even if he sees Bellatrix slaughtering Muggles like he is now.
After a little consideration, he decided to secretly follow him for a while, so as to see what Bellatrix was going to do.
It didn't take long for him to walk not far behind the strange pair with a phantasmagion charm, and while avoiding the pedestrians around him from time to time, he looked curiously at the two people who didn't match each other at all.
The Muggle woman looked quite young, and her dress was closer to that of the young people of recent years, but the change that marriage had brought to her was obvious - she was holding a baby in her arms, and as she walked, she looked down, and the love for the child was obvious.
But beside her, Bellatrix just followed step by step, and there was really no sign of acquaintance between the two of them except walking side by side.
Even if it is perfunctory, it will not be as stiff as Bellatrix behaves, which shows how reluctant she is in her heart.
It seemed that taking the Muggle woman hostage in an emergency was her choice rather than taking the opportunity to cover up. But does this work?
Yes, because of the existence of the International Secrecy Act, the Aurors would normally try to avoid affecting Muggle lives as much as possible. But now it was such a big thing as chasing down the escaped Death Eaters, and one or two Muggles would probably not let the experienced Aurors back down.
What is this madwoman doing here with Muggles if she doesn't hurry up and run away? You know, although more than half of the Aurors have gone after her accomplices, the rest of them will find this place sooner or later - especially since it is Kingsley's elite Auror who is quite brainy and leads the team today.
Maca and Nakinsley had worked together a few times before, and he knew very well that the guy's skills were worthy of his identity. And Bellatrix was chased all the way by Kingsley this time, and he knew much more than Maca.
Sure enough, after Maca continued to follow for a short while, he sensed several magic fluctuations suddenly appearing behind him. He knew that perhaps an Auror had already detected a clue on the road before, and the phantom had appeared.
The Aurors always had a set of rules, especially in the Muggle world, where they would choose to clear the field early. If Muggles see something they shouldn't, the aftermath will result in days and nights of hard work for their colleagues in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, as well as their quarterly and annual bonuses.
After a while, Bellatrix became alarmed to find that there were fewer and fewer Muggles around, and that none of them were to be seen soon.
She had been waiting for this moment to come, and decisively reached out to the side, only to find that she had been empty!
"Want to threaten someone with a Muggle kid?" A dark shadow suddenly passed by Bellatrix, and when he stopped, there was already a child in his arms, "Are you still as scary as ever?" My dear cousin......"
It was Sirius, and at that moment, he had swept past Bellatrix in Animagus form, and then took the young Muggle mother and daughter with great fluidity after turning into human form. The whole set of actions was so smooth that even Maca, who was about to make a move, couldn't help but nod secretly.
As far as the Animagus metamorphosis is concerned, Sirius may be at a better level than him.
"It's you!" Bellatrix didn't succeed, she stared at Sirius in exasperation, cursing viciously, "Rebel of the family, disgrace of purebloods...... How dare you appear before me! β
"What's not to dare?" Sirius casually handed the child back to the dazed-looking woman, and said relaxedly, "Have you seen what I was afraid of?" β
"Damn it!" Bellatrix looked left and right, "But don't forget, you're still on the Ministry of Magic's wanted warrant!" Do you want to go back to Azkaban to live in Azkaban in order to pester me? β
"What's not to be afraid of?" Sirius squinted his eyes and stared at Bellatrix and snorted, "If I get thrown into Azkaban again, it will only mean that I have a relationship there." Of course, if you had my cousin and I as my companion, I think I would have lived in it more comfortably......"
As soon as he finished saying this, the two spells collided together in an instant, bursting out a brilliant particle of light. It turned out that the two cousins of the Black family actually launched a spell at the same time, and they were extremely decisive.
They are really a pair of actual sisters and brothers, who may be completely different in how they behave in terms of how they behave in person, but they are surprisingly similar in some ways.
Maka, who was hidden from the side, watched them fight each other, and he only looked at them a few times before turning his head. He sensed that the Aurors blocking the streets were rapidly gathering in this direction, and would soon be there.
It is conceivable that it is probably because of Kingsley that there will be such a gap here. But Kingsley was still nominally an Auror of the Ministry of Magic after all, and he couldn't delay the time too obviously, and it was already his limit to be able to delay the pace of pursuit.
Maca didn't think much about it anymore, and took advantage of the chaos between Sirius and Bellatrix to knock Bellatrix out of place by sneak attack.
"Let's go! The Aurors are coming! β
He slapped Sirius and the unconscious Bellatrix with a disillusionment charm, and then took the suitcase the latter had dropped and sped away from the place.
