Seven places.

"Raidho, it's a protection, it's a talisman to be able to shelter the protected."

Alec Hopkins, aka Snape, pushed the translated Runese notes to McCroft.

McCroft picked it up, flipped through two pages, and put it down, looking at the occult professor across from him.

"Do you think this thing has a role, Professor Hopkins?"

He was still testing the occult professor.

Snape pressed his index finger together under his lips, and he was looking at Mycroft with a scrutinizing gaze.

"If your information is correct, there are many roles in occult applications, and asylum is only one of them." Snape made eye contact with McCroft's eyes and shuffled, "Yes, it works. ”

Mycroft subconsciously looked away, and he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Suppressing that feeling, he nodded, took out a new piece of wood, and said, "Take a look at these troubles." ”

Snape took it, looked at the material on it, furrowed his brow, and said, "This is not a saple. ”

"Oak." "A new kind of material was found in a major accident. ”

"Oak is known as the magic tree, and is believed to have magical properties," Snape asked, "Do you suspect a wizard did it?" ”

"Professor Hopkins, I need to warn you," McCroft was noncommittal, "that the more you know, the worse it will be for you. ”

"I don't care."

Snape said lightly, "You want me to come here and pretend to be deaf and dumb?" ”

"It's funny." McCroft sat forward and smiled, "A lot of people who work with the government are afraid to know too much, and you're an exception. ”

"Knowledge," Snape said, "for me, the more knowledge I can know, the more I will prove what I have learned." ”

"For good reason."

Mycroft seemed to be convinced, and when he saw his men standing outside, he straightened his clothes and stood up, "I think I can offer you more." ”

Snape subconsciously looked up into Mycroft's eyes, but Mycroft turned his eyes away, walked to the door and smiled, "Please, Professor Hopkins." ”

Getting up and following, Snape had a vague suspicion that the other party didn't trust him.

Thermotelephony requires eye contact.

But Mycroft wouldn't give him a chance.

This is the terrible thing of a smart person, who, once he has established a doubt in his heart, will quietly avoid these possibilities.

The two walked out of the room and walked forward.

Arrive at your destination at the end.

A car was parked in what looked like an underground garage.

The doors open.

The person who came out of it was stunned.

"This is Professor Alec Hopkins, a professor of occultism." McCroft walked over and said, "Watson Wick, maybe you don't know him. ”

As he said this, Mycroft kept an eye on the two of them.

Watson's brief and hurried moments of astonishment did not escape the keen observation of the wise man, but he pretended not to see anything, and smiled to introduce them to the two.

"Hello, Professor Hopkins," Watson said strangely.

Even if the man had changed his clothes, Watson recognized Snape as the one who had been caught.

He didn't understand when the Hogwarts professor had become occult, and Snape had seen Watson's clear, stupid expression.

"Hello, Mr. Wick." dragged a long tune, and Snape, a senior undercover professional, had no flaws.

The two shook hands.

"Alright, I guess we should change places." Mycroft's eyes flashed with a look of control.

He led the two to their destination.

Bodies and many other objects recovered from the explosion at the Birmingham factory.

On the way, Mycroft conversed with Watson as if they were ordinary friends.

"Watson, have you had a good time?"

"I can't be pleasant, those guys knocked on my door roughly, there were three people in the car staring at me, I almost thought I was a prisoner."

"They're used to it, and your requests must be kept secret."

At this point, Mycroft deliberately led Watson to tell how much he knew.

"I've heard that MI6 has been doing a lot of stuff out there lately," Watson said unguardedly, "and there's a lot of buzz over there in Poland too." ”

"Yes, it's hilarious." Mycroft took out his permission card and swiped open a door that could withstand tank impact, and said, "Some guy hiding in the crowd and not being known has revealed his stuff, and you may be familiar with that name." ”

"Tick-"

The last door opened, and Mycroft said calmly, "Wizard." ”

Hearing this, Watson looked at the open door.

Over there, a corpse was on a pure white platform, his abdomen hollowed out.

"These people are like ordinary people, but they have strange magic."

The scene of this meal could not affect the three people present.

"It's the same structure as a human, and the only thing that is extra is the magic." Mycroft walked inside, looked at the corpse, and said, "But in some ways they have strange features. ”

"Their body structure is the same, like their body, just like the body of an athlete, the quality is stronger than that of ordinary people."

"Humans are the same?" Watson walked over with a strange look on his face, "You mean, they're not human?" ”

"It's not possible to confirm at this time." Mycroft nodded, pointing to the gold marker that had been placed on the table.

"There should be hostility among wizards, and they kill each other, which is the sign of one of them."

Snape saw the sign, his pupils shrinking.

Watson didn't know much about the saints, and he was still struggling with the fact that wizards weren't human.

"Wizards are human, aren't they?" Watson explained, "I mean, in the story, the wizards are all human. ”

"They have a power that humans don't have, Watson." "The witches who were executed in the Salem witch trial, the witch hunt of the Middle Ages." ”

"Wizards and humans don't have to be hostile." Watson denied, "You also said that there are good guys and bad guys between them. ”

"I'm just saying they have factionalism." Mycroft turned to look at Watson and said seriously, "These guys are unknown to us. ”

Watson didn't answer him.

"Well, there's something else besides that." McCroft led the two out of the room.

The wizard's body was dissected as if it were an experiment.

"You should understand that I'm not just showing you this because of the help you've given me, Watson."

Mycroft walked ahead and said, "Wizards, a group of mysterious fellows, the places where they are most likely to hide are those places where they can't see the light. ”

"And you, Watson Wick, are the leader of those places, and you need to understand the danger of those guys."

Snape listened to him with a strange expression.

Are you asking his father, the second king of the wizarding world, to deal with the wizard?

That wonderful feeling is like if you are looking for the Emperor Taishang to rebel.

It's incredible.

The rooms where the wizards are imprisoned are pure white rooms like square cabins.

Watson looked at the man who was locked up, and felt a sense of awkwardness in his heart.

"Those wizards are hidden in our world, they are mysterious and come and go," a gleam flashed in McCroft's eyes, "maybe some of them are not interested in invading our world. ”

"But they have not shown us goodwill, they are facilitating the progress of the enemy."

"Their struggle is affecting our world, and we must fight back."

McCroft seemed to say to Watson, and he seemed to say to Snape.

"The world has started to pay attention to those people, and we need to know more before we can make judgments."

"The unknown is naturally hostile, and in the forest, when a hunter sees a shaky jungle, his first choice is to set up a gun, rather than guessing whether the other party is the same as himself."

"Not to mention ......"

Mycroft turned slowly, his voice calm but threatening.

"The terrible ones in the forest are often hunters with guns like themselves."

Snape's expression was grim, this was for himself, and for all wizards.

McCroft asked Conneid to get up like he was fine.

He showed Watson the magic, and he also warned him that he needed to manage the places that were not visible.

This demonstration is both a warning to the underground president and an ultimatum to the wizards who have infiltrated the human world.

Humanity will not have the patience to explore unknown threats, and the best way to face them is to destroy.

Snape took the wood chips with him for research.

Watson was also sent away.

Mycroft looked at the golden mark alone, he needed a wizard who could do the work for him.

At the same time, there is a need to establish a channel of information.

Yes, he was suspicious of Alec Hopkins.

Don't doubt the intelligence of humans, they will always be able to find loopholes where you are not aware of them.

This is also why John is reluctant to use the Oblivion Charm to settle things.

It's a relationship between exploitation and exploitation.

Snape could use Mycroft to get the answers he wanted, to figure out attitudes, and to find those Grindelwald allies.

And Mycroft also needed Snape to educate himself about science and attract more wizards at the same time.

A win-win situation, in that tacit understanding.
