While Maca was still in a hurry to check on the two survivors, let's turn back the clock a little and return to the moment in London to deliver the news that Sirius's team didn't return on time to Spiral.

It must be said that Maca and Lupin's trust in Sirius is still correct.

A wizard who was framed by a friend and spent twelve years in Azkaban Wizarding Prison with a large number of Dementors, but was able to escape on his own in a near-impossible situation.

Regardless of his already strong fighting strength, his mental tenacity and wisdom and bravery in danger alone were enough for him to be able to hold out until the last moment in any situation on the verge of despair.

So...... Yes, even after leading the team into the fog, he was frequently in danger, but with his excellent on-the-spot wisdom and judgment, he went deep into the city to find the cellar where the survivors were hidden.

However, when he calmed several frightened survivors in the cellar and tried to lead them out of the fog. He suddenly found that the journey back seemed to be more arduous than it had been before.

Because, before, it was just groups of living corpses passing by on the street, and suddenly there were more and more inexplicably - those guys seemed to be moving purposefully!

"Go back! Go back! ”

When Sirius and another Auror were the first to explore the way, and cautiously peeked out from the mouth of an alley, he was unlucky enough to make eye contact with a living corpse at the first opportunity.

And that's not all!

At that moment, there were more living corpses in the streets outside that came into his sight.

"Keep running! Don't look back—"

Even though he had already been discovered, he kept his voice as low as possible so that more living corpses closer to them would be aware of their presence too soon.

For him, even if he could buy an extra second to escape, it would be good.

"Ready!"

As he immediately asked his team members to retreat with the survivors, Sirius nodded to his companion who was exploring his path.

In the next second, both of them stretched out their wands at the same time.

"There are many obstacles!"

Obviously, there is no such thing as "simultaneous spellcasting" in the modern wizarding world.

After all, it requires multiple casters to have a unified understanding of the spell's spell. And because the rules and runes from the ancient wizarding world, which were the basis for the standardization of magic, have long been lost, the teaching of magic today is generally biased towards a variety of individual interpretations.

In fact, this is actually a training method that Lupin learned from Maca after seeing the excellent understanding of the twins of Fred and George.

"I have to say, it really works in an emergency!"

Sirius and the Auror cast a barrier spell at the mouth of the alley at the same time, and immediately turned and chased after the people who had evacuated first. But as he accelerated, he didn't forget to glance behind him to see what the effect was.

When he saw that the living corpses that were soon following them into the alley were instantly blocked there, and even because the ones behind were also squeezing forward, he couldn't help but secretly say that it was terrible.

He had tried it when he came before, but if he just cast an obstacle spell on those living corpses, he would be able to block four or five ordinary living corpses for about three seconds at most.

But now, two simultaneous obstacle spells blocked the end of the alley with many more living corpses than before.

While this has a lot to do with the terrain, the power of the sync cast is obvious - it's not as simple as one plus one equals two.

"Captain, how do you go ahead?"

"Left!"

Hearing the front team member ask, Sirius didn't have time to sigh anymore, and hurriedly looked up. Seriously, although he answered quickly and decisively, they actually had a feeling of desperation by now.

After arriving in the alleyway, they had already encountered hordes of living corpses several times as they tried to get out. Although the previous few times I retreated without alarming the other party, this time I was still discovered.

And when the surrounding exits seemed to be surrounded by living corpses, at this moment, there were enemies chasing after them, and they suddenly felt as if they were in prison and could not extricate themselves.

In a nutshell......

"We're finished!"

Naturally, it could not be a member of the Auror team who went deep into the fog area to come to the rescue, but a young man among the survivors.

"No," Sirius said at once, "Will, how is it up ahead?" ”

"Front...... Not at all! ”

The Auror who was at the front of the line ran and ran, suddenly stopping at the entrance of the alley, and then immediately turned to stop the survivors who were following him.

"Go back! Fast! ”

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wand behind him without looking back, and a red light suddenly shot towards the entrance of the alley. And almost at the same time, a figure rushed in from the outside, as if it had taken the initiative to meet his spell.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud that wasn't too loud, the living corpse flew upside down and crashed into another living corpse behind him.

Then, the two rolled together and fell out.

"Let's go, I'll leave it here!"

The well-trained Aurors did not hesitate, and the moment they saw the enemy stop the enemy, they immediately dragged the frightened survivors away from the mouth of the alley.

However, even if one companion is sacrificed without hesitation, it seems impossible for the rest of the people to escape from this alley.

Because, the obstacle spell of synchronous casting just now has been broken, and the hordes of living corpses have already chased them to the fork they just turned.

When both ends of a straight road are blocked, is it possible for those who remain in the middle to escape?

"No, Captain! Or use a broomstick - if you can take a few people out, count as many! ”

With the number of survivors, they certainly couldn't take everyone with them - it was impossible when the team was all there, and now they can't do it.

In an extraordinary moment, save a few if you can, and it seems to be the best choice as a last resort.

But at this most urgent time......

"No, don't worry, there's hope."

It was clear that Sirius had not lost his composure until this point. I saw that he didn't even look at the living corpses crowded on both sides, but just scanned back and forth in this shorter and shorter alleyway.

There's a window over there, but it's still too far away; And above the balcony...... It will definitely take too much time to send the survivors there......

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Sirius waved his wand violently, and then waved his hand and shouted:

"Here, all here—" ()
