Looking at the photo in his hand, Pei Chen smiled very happily, in such a mood, even the idea of rejection of Lockhart seemed to be weakened a little, of course, just a little, and generally speaking, the favorability was still negative.

There are more than a dozen photos in his hand, all of which are special photos of the characters themselves moving after adding a development potion, including not only a photo of him and Lockhart, but also a photo of him and other students, and more importantly, a photo with Hermione, and simply a photo with the Gryffindor trio.

"Well, this one can be thrown away, but the others can be used as a souvenir, which is very collectible, after all, I don't know if I will be able to come back to this scene in the future......" Pei Chen sorted out the photos one by one, and took out the last photo and looked at it carefully.

The image shown above is a photo of Pei Chen and the Gryffindor trio, and the focus is on the red-haired boy's shoulder, a fat mouse is raising its forelimbs in some panic to block the camera's flash, and the severed finger is particularly conspicuous.

"Well, it should look good, and as long as Sirius hasn't completely lost his mind, he should still be able to recognize him." Pei Chen nodded with satisfaction, looking in a good mood, he put the photo away, and then went directly to prepare for the application formalities - it should be sooner rather than later, he was going to leave for the Azkaban Wizard Prison now.

……

……

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has established a prison on a small island in the cold waters of the North Sea, known as Azkaban Citadel, or simply Azkaban.

Due to its sparse population, wizarding prisons are rare, except for Azkaban in the North Sea, the only one is Newmengard, which is more famous than Azkaban because it was built by Grindelwald, another much older Dark Lord who imprisoned himself.

However, in terms of fame, although it is true that Newmengard is more famous, if it is said that the prison is more terrifying, then only Azkaban deserves it, without him, the cell head and guards there alone are enough to make most wizards fearful.

"Spit on!" Spit out the bitter salty sea water in his mouth, Pei Chen looked at the huge castle in front of him, perhaps because it was built on a lonely island, Pei Chen always felt that this castle seemed to be bigger than the entire Hogwarts castle. The dementors flying around the air like ghosts combined with the gloomy weather made it look magical.

"Such a large castle is only closed for two hundred people?" Pei Chen sighed in disbelief, "Hogwarts Castle is inhabited by more than 800 people, and it always seems empty, I really don't know what your Ministry of Magic thought when he designed this prison, did he want to arrest the entire British wizarding community?" ”

Seeing Pei Chen's strange face, obviously holding back a smile, Mr. Sol looked embarrassed. In fact, the Ministry of Magic regretted the design of the castle in the first place, because even in the later stages of the struggle against the dark arts, the wizards carried out a very harsh counterattack against the dark forces, not only throwing many suspected Death Eaters and other supporters of Voldemort into it, but even sending a large number of unapproved people to Azkaban. But at that time, the prisoners in Azkaban still failed to break through the number of three hundred.

This made the Ministry of Magic really embarrassed, although no one said anything on the surface, but secretly the claim that "the Ministry of Magic wasted taxpayers' money" was flying all over the sky.

"Haha, let's go in first...... It looks like it's going to rain. Mr. Saul changed the topic with a haha, because he had already had a relationship with Pei Chen, and he was relatively familiar with it, so he was sent by the minister to receive Pei Chen, who was going to Azkaban and his party.

To tell the truth, Mr. Saul was very uninterested in such a task, and did not want to accept it, because the minister was obviously just throwing the blame. After all, Azkaban is a terrifying place, guarded by Dementors, a horrible group of creatures known as 'soulless demons' who feed on people's positive emotions.

Anyone who gets close to them will feel like their IQ is being sucked out...... Oh no, I mean you will feel your happiness sucked away, leaving nothing but despair and emptiness. Under such circumstances, naturally no one wants to come here, and Mr. Saul also has the idea of completing the task as soon as possible so that he can leave quickly.

"Is the weather like this all the time? It seems that since I got on the boat, I haven't seen the sun since I entered the waters of the North Sea. But Pei Chen didn't seem to have the intention of acting so quickly, he opened his hands slightly, and his perception of the gravitational field slowly emanated. Time can control all matter, and if there is no time all matter is absolutely at rest. And what controls gravity is the amount of space dimension that makes up, but gravity will weaken when it passes through each space, which Pei Chen has known for a long time.

But...... The level of weakness and unknown interference here is too strong, right? Even when he was in Hogwarts Castle, Pei Chen had never tried to be suppressed so ruthlessly. But that's right, after all, Hogwarts is just a school, and Azkaban is a wizard's prison, and it is self-evident which one has a stronger magical barrier.

"Yes, in order to prevent Muggles from discovering the anomalies here, we had to cast countless spells on the island and every inch of the surrounding thirty miles to make sure that Muggles would not break into this place, or that they would not find out if they did." Because it is not a matter that needs to be kept secret, Mr. Sol told Pei Chen very sincerely.

"Yes, no wonder ......" Pei Chen nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything, "Okay, let's go, I always feel that something is causing my spiritual attribute value to become unstable." ”

"......" Although Mr. Thor was a little confused by this, his intuition gave him a look of full approval and affirmation, because the source of their unhappiness was the ghostly dementors who hovered and flew over the castle.

The more he walked into the castle, the more Pei Chen felt struggling, as if even the air had become heavy. But Mr. Saul, who looked like a weak chicken next to him, didn't behave like this, it seems that this ghost place is just for himself?

After a moment's thought, he decisively put away the scattered gravitational field, no longer simply trying to rely on the force field he had raised to fight against the magical magnetic field in this sea where even the curvature of space was distorted. Then he felt that he was instantly relaxed, and he no longer had that feeling of being like a negative mountain.

"Professor Lyle, you know, we actually hate these things." After crossing some invisible border, Mr. Thor shuddered suddenly, and his face turned a little pale, "They can absorb all the hope and all the joys of the prisoners, who here are tortured by the Dementors...... Most of the prisoners went crazy within a few weeks, yes, most went mad, and many ended up on hunger strike. They have lost the desire to live. It is possible to know when a person is dead, because the Dementors can feel it, and they are excited every time it comes. ”

When he said this, Mr. Sol made no secret of the sympathy and sadness on his face, as well as his intense hatred for those ghostly monsters of reality.

"No wonder there is no need to use walls and water to imprison the prisoners, because the prisoners are under their control......" Pei Chen nodded knowingly, he found that there was almost no other means of defense other than the huge ashlar castle. Not even the guards, sentry, barbed wire, and tall, cold walls that a prison should have! Although the designer was confused about the maximum number of prisoners, he still had 100% confidence in the security and tightness of the prison he had built.

Dementors are realistic creatures invisible to Muggles, uniformly dressed and cloaked in a cloak that resembles a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper, but without the high prowess-like character of the Grim Reaper - they are all soaked in water, with scabbed palms and rotting all over their bodies.

As they passed, Pei Chen frowned tightly, feeling that his happiness, courage, and hope, which were conceptual and insubstantial, were really draining away at a rapid pace. This is simply too evil, how can there be such a ridiculous thing?

Mr. Thor's face was even more pale, every time a dementor approached, his tiger body was sifting chaff all over his body and shook again and again, if it weren't for Pei Chen's hand, and the codex order of the Ministry of Magic in his hand as a talisman, maybe he would have fallen before he got close to the castle.

Unlike Pei Chen, who immediately guarded his mind as soon as he realized that something was wrong, and maintained a high degree of spiritual cohesion, most wizards did not have such skills, and they had never consciously guided and exercised their spiritual power. Under the influence of Dementors, wizards will feel the light around them be absorbed, and gradually fall into darkness. Courage and hope faded, and nothingness gradually took over the heart.

In the end, it was a crazy end.

Professor Lyell...... Sorry, I'm not in good shape, so can you please move faster? I think you're going to visit Barty Crouch Jr., right? ”

"Absolutely. I'm just asking for something. Pei Chen smiled and agreed, in fact, he didn't know who this little Barty Crouch was, it was just an excuse arranged by Dumbledore to hide people's ears, of course, this excuse was justified, and no one found fault with it.

After all, Pei Chen had come to arrange Sirius' escape from prison, and it was impossible for him to swagger directly to see the other party, and then the other party would escape from prison a few days later - in this case, even a fool would know that something was wrong.

As for Barty Crouch Jr., it was only when Dumbledore found out that he was using it as an excuse that he passed by the cell where Sirius was being held. Really don't have too many other arrangements.

"Oh, then, you'll have to speed up a little faster, after all, little Barty is about to run out." The two entered the castle and walked up the stairs, perhaps because they had finally moved away from the Dementors, and Mr. Thor's face finally regained a little blood.

"Can't hold on? What do you mean? Pei Chen was a little curious, and looked at the cells in the corridor that were locked by the iron gate with a curious gaze.

"It means...... He's going to die! Mr. Thor gasped as he saw a patrolling Dementor floating down the hallway in the distance, and the corners of his eyes jumped wildly again.

"Last time...... That is, about a month and a half ago? I can't remember the exact time, but it seems that Mr. Barty Crouch came here with his wife to see Barty Jr., who died shortly after his return, and after that Barty Jr. began to get seriously ill...... It's still a good time, and if it's a day or two late, he's probably going to die. ”

(I had a lot of time today, but after reading the book review section, I was depressed for a long time...... I know that this book is bad, the writing is not good, the plot is poor, and it is poisonous...... Because of this, I only asked for a recommendation twice at the beginning, and I haven't dared to open my mouth since then, yes, not embarrassed, but I don't dare. I can only write silently and do my best......

Even if it's 600,000 words, the results are still dismal, and I'm destined to hit the street, but I still didn't say anything, even if I couldn't insist on double shifts because I still had to go to class and do homework, but I at least basically maintained a daily update of about 3400+ words......

But now I still feel very devastated...... If you don't like it, you can leave, and if you don't want to leave, it's okay for me to scold me in the book review area, I never delete book reviews except for advertisements...... But you don't have to go to Longkong to open posts to criticize the fight, right? ）
