Chapter 235: The Terror That Was Covered
Kane's ascension to Sirius as Victor Cullen ended to encounter a bloody feast and implicate the X Society on November 23rd.
On Christmas Eve on the 24th, the British Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Magic received a summary of the information submitted by Kane. Evidence of all kinds, including written reports, audio-visual materials, and living corpses.
Emergency meetings were held in both bodies.
The International Federation of Magic reacted quickly, and the general meaning of the reply letter was: The search and questioning of the hidden Death Eaters caused by the Grindelwald trial and related treatment are still involving a lot of the Federation's energy, and whether the living corpses also exist in European countries also needs to be investigated quickly, so the search and hunting of living corpses in the UK mainly has to be solved by the British Ministry of Magic.
It's actually just finding some reason to dump the pot.
The British Ministry of Magic is also similar, and Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, who just took office this year, began to have pain when he saw a third of the information, and when he read it all, he was in pain everywhere.
This case is too tricky and too tricky.
The first pit, the target can also be classified as a supernatural force, organized and large-scale. This is not an ordinary criminal gang, but a self-contained, miniature kingdom-level force. It is even possible to remove the prefix 'miniature'.
The second pitfall is that this organization does not abide by the rules of seclusion, and has already done it to mortals.
The subtext of the convergence of these two pits is: if you dare to go to war, many people will die, the war will be prolonged, and the transcendent world will be exposed to the world.
Either way, it was not up to Fudge, or even the British Ministry of Magic, to take responsibility.
The rest of the people who participated in the emergency meeting were similar to Fudge's thinking, and when Fudge asked the Aurors to come up with a practical solution, the director said, "I think this will probably have to be presided over by Mr. Vitokane Shafiq." ”
In fact, Fudge waited for others to say this, who recommended who was responsible, if it was in case of a matter of success, he would also make a wise decision, and the leader would be meritorious.
So on the afternoon of the 24th, Fudge came to visit Kane in person.
Things were easier than Fudge and his party had imagined, and Kane happily took over Vito.
In fact, this is exactly what Kane wants.
Because of the dividend harvest from 1853, his Predator Swarm can be said to have been launched ahead of schedule.
With such an army, he is actually not afraid to wrestle with the X Society or even the Blood God Cult.
The Holy See or the forces of dark creatures, such as vampires or something, dare to bare their teeth, he also dares to face them head-on, the reason is very simple, with real power, many things can be done in a grand manner, instead of continuing to farm based on cowardice.
In fact, if the system is to develop, it needs more resources of all kinds to increase the scale. To stretch your muscles and expand the industry, you have to show your muscles and escort production.
However, the Predator Swarm was a private force after all, and he didn't feel that now was a good time to show his presence. He spent so much effort to clear his hands and go ashore because he wanted to take advantage of the situation and use the power of the entire civilization, so he had the concept of a 'united front'.
To put it bluntly, everyone's affairs are carried by everyone, I have the ability, but I will not even carry your share because I have the ability, I am not the wronged, my ability is used to be the leader.
With such a line of thinking, this case, first of all, has a very open pattern. Endangering the Hidden Rules, this Blood God Cult, like this, is directly provoking the entire transcendent group and harming the people, which is the bottom line of tolerance that challenges the mortal realm. Therefore, both sides must make their efforts and resolutely strike at them in a heavy and fast manner.
Kane even informed the Holy See. It's a very straightforward question: Do you want to put on a show?
The Holy See's reply was: Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think the edict of the heavenly kingdom will be invalidated after only three days? Go dog eat dog, especially if it's your kennel, you can't take care of it.
Kane was satisfied, as long as the Holy See had this attitude. Of course, he knew that those scum were used to eating books, and as long as there was a need, they would immediately deny it.
But this notice is still very meaningful, first of all, the notice is not based on the Holy See as a whole, but on the various internal power groups.
Here, he used the knowledge of his previous life, he was very clear about what mountains were inside the Holy See, and as soon as his notice was issued, the Holy See became more and more jealous of him, after all, some mountains were highly secretive, and he didn't even know that the members of the Holy See itself and the level of secrecy were not enough, but Kane was clear, and he could actually deliver the notice to the place, which was very scary.
Before the end of the New Year, the Holy See launched an internal investigation, and they suspected that there had been a defection at the top. Later, the chickens and dogs couldn't find out anything, and they began to strengthen the secrecy measures, in short, it was very tossed for a while.
All the mountains know the situation, and if they want to come up with a resolution, they can only negotiate, not make a decision by someone. In this way, it becomes much more complicated to regret it.
If someone makes a decision and wants to repent, he can find a scapegoat to take the blame, give an explanation to the hills, and then take action. Each hill can also participate with peace of mind.
"I didn't know about it before, otherwise I would have objected to allowing wizards to cooperate with secular officials. They're clearly stepping on the line!" they can say that.
But now that they've been notified, there's no way to shirk it. Kane asked directly whether you are coming, whether you are coming together, or are you arranging it, and it is okay to do it, and we are responsible for watching the play and giving applause or boos. You see, the stage has been set up, and the information provided cannot be said to be insufficient, and we have done a good job.
Impartiality and openness, Kane wanted a similar effect. Anyway, the high-level backbones of the Holy See basically know that there is such a thing, and in this context, these big guys who can make decisions have no way to find scapegoats, and the basic Bilian still has to be wanted.
In the end, the Holy See had a clear statement, and there was basically no way to make small moves. Kane is very aware of the urine nature of those guys, success may not work, bad things are still very good, this is also a fine tradition, when the Holy See rose, they did all kinds of bad things that ruined the image of wizards.
There is no clear statement, and the Holy See can argue with reason that we are also handling the case, and we have good reasons to do so, but it is you who have violated the agreement of seclusion and taken rats.
Now that there is a saying, at least you can't interfere explicitly, and it is difficult to eliminate the stumbling blocks behind your back, but it is also difficult to block the process of the general trend, and if you use less force, it makes little sense, and if you use too much force, then pray not to be caught in the braids, otherwise you will inevitably have to give an explanation to the secular side, and at the same time, it will greatly deteriorate the relationship between each other.
Neither the Federation nor the British Ministry of Magic expected Kane to dare to do this, and the key was to do it. At least in the first round of the fight against the X Society, Kane did it beautifully. It's much more beautiful than the secret agent's surprise and rapid attack on the Blood God Cult's stronghold planned and implemented by the Auror Department of the Federation.
The scale of the operation was huge, there was no disturbance to the people, there were no casualties on their side, a hearty victory, both parties were satisfied, and at the same time, it also set up a classic template for large-scale cooperation.
And this manhunt strategy, which the Holy See regretted when it learned about it, was initially planned on Christmas Day.
As soon as the rough outline was formulated, Kane received a flash message that the Dementors had encountered Barty Crouch II in Azkaban, and had not been able to capture him, but had escaped from him, and it was likely that some anomalies had been discovered in Azkaban.
To be honest, Kane was a little angry when he first received this report.
He thought he was raising a bunch of garbage! After all, he didn't have a lot of arrangements there.
But when he later checks the past captured by the magic surveillance, he realizes that the main responsibility for this is not the Dementors, but Barty Jr.
The performance of the Dementors can be described as decent, and there are no flaws. It was little Barty who was far better than he remembered, and it was only when he saw the change in Azkaban that he managed to escape.
Little Barty is a paranoid person, arrogant, and not a little manic, but not without brains.
In the original history line, he played the mad-eye man Alatos Moody, and he was basically successful.
Kane gave little Barty a character profile, judging from his performance, he is keen on violence, sadism, and black magic, which is a typical aggressive personality, and he is the kind of person who can scream 'happy' when he is stabbed when he slashes someone.
Kane believes that this kind of person is generally obsessed with power, after all, only strong power can make them easily ravage others.
The appearance of Barty Jr. made Kane think of Voldemort for the first time.
For Barty Jr., Voldemort is a very representative and powerful demonstrator, his idol. Only Voldemort can make little Barty let go of everything, suddenly attack, break through his own cage, and run for allegiance before and after the saddle.
With this idea in mind, Kane used the existing Horcruxes to turn on ritual magic and inquire about Voldemort's situation.
The result is confusion.
Kane knew what was going on right away. Only with the characteristics of divinity can the truth be concealed and the connection between the souls can be completely broken. This shows that Voldemort is protected by the gods and has a very high probability of being resurrected.
The dignified Dark Lord also ran away to be a dog, but Kane was not surprised at all.
Most people are attracted by Voldemort's villain's ambition and rampant domineering side, but they rarely care about his actions before he succeeds, in fact, Voldemort is a very tolerant person, of course, provided that he is sane and not crazy.
Looking back on Voldemort's life history, it is not difficult to find that he is actually quite slippery, after all, he came out of a place like a welfare home, and he has seen the world since he was a child.
With Voldemort, who was a dog for the gods, some of the changes that happened to Barty Jr. are easy to explain:
Voldemort gained God-given knowledge and armed his team with it.
Both Voldemort himself and the Death Eaters have surpassed the strength level of the original historical line and have become another force that is worthy of his attention.
And just when Kane was thinking about whether it would be possible to fight Voldemort and his gang in Azkaban in the near future, the Federation reported in an emergency that the Blood God Cult, which had pulled out three strongholds one after another, activated a large magic array, as if they were going to open the gates of hell.
As soon as he heard this, Kane realized that the Blood God Cult was likely to join forces with the Secret Key Society, and the Key Society held the key to open the gates of hell, and the Blood God Cult had the power to open the door.
This is a vicious event that Kane cannot help but participate in, and he almost does not think much about it, so he gathers his men and goes straight to the place where the incident occurred, the capital of the dead - the catacombs of Paris.
