Chapter 357: MI5

"Help?" the Prime Minister thought for a while with his eyebrows locked and asked a question: "Didn't you break in and be seen by the staff outside?" ”

"There's a magic called the Muggle Confusion Charm that can make ordinary people blind to us. ”

"Well, okay then. The Prime Minister nodded, then suddenly raised his voice. "Carly, come in!"

A few seconds later, a Muggle woman who was working next door pushed the door in, presumably the secretary.

"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Prime Minister?"

"Let Rand come over and say there's an emergency. ”

"Rand, do you mean Stephen Rand?" the female secretary was visibly surprised, "sir, it's not on your schedule, and—" She glanced at the three Lockharts in the room, and saw that the Prime Minister was actually already having an off-the-dinner interview. "It's not in order, sir. ”

"Let's just say it's an emergency!" the prime minister said in an aggravated tone, "go ahead and pour tea for these three gentlemen!"

"Understood. ”

――

"Who is he, and what did you call him for?" asked Kingsley, curiously.

"The British government is not ignorant of the existence of the wizarding world. The prime minister said, "Although I only learned about these things after I took office, there are some institutions that are always clear about the existence of wizards." ”

"I see. Kingsley nodded in understanding. "But the Muggle Intelligence Bureau of the Department of Mysteries should know a lot about this agency, I don't know if it's because it's not enough. ”

"I don't know, you can talk to him then. ”

At this point, the female secretary also walked in to pour tea for Lockhart, and was surprised to see Kingsley and Scrimgeour look at each other, but was immediately confused by Lockhart's confusion charm.

The four of them drank tea and waited for the Muggle named Rand to arrive, during which time they listened to the Prime Minister complain about the inexplicable events that had taken place in Chase in recent years - murders, missing people, the collapse of a bridge, and an inexplicable forest fire in the winter. Lockhart, of course, as the perpetrator of that last incident. I could only sit there and touch my nose embarrassedly.

Speaking of the collapse of the bridge, the prime minister was angry, and after review, the bridge did not cut any corners, but it certainly could not fall on its own inexplicably. The prime minister could not say that a wizard might have done it, so he had to push out one of his hapless officials as a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the people......

"We are here today and asking for some assistance is secondary. Lockhart almost forgot the most important thing, "We need a nuclear bomb to destroy something." ”

"Nuclear bomb!" said the prime minister in surprise. "What is being destroyed, and where are you going to deal with it?"

"You won't understand what is said, but the location, it should be under the ground of London, and I don't know how deep it is. Lockhart glanced at Scrimgeour. "Rufus, where the hell is that energy supply room, do you have a number in mind? ”

"The Department of Mysteries, the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic, is a hundred meters underground. "To be on the safe side, the energy supply chamber is at least 150 meters deep." But we were forcibly teleported away that time, and we must have only been unconscious for more than ten seconds - which means that the teleportation distance is not very far, and I conclude that it is between 150 and 500 meters underground. ”

"Any nuclear weapon at this depth would cause massive damage on the ground!" said the prime minister, "even though I am not an expert on this." But I've seen photos of underground nuclear tests!"

"The power of the explosion doesn't have to leak out, we put the nuclear bomb in a room protected by magic...... "Lockhart comforted the prime minister, "the power of the explosion will be blocked by the protective magic, I heard that the power of the nuclear bomb is also different? If you can choose ......"

The Prime Minister was about to say something more, what they were waiting for had arrived. The female secretary who had just poured tea pushed the door, and the first to come in was a man who looked shrewd and athletic. There was also a brown-haired woman, both in suits and leather shoes, who appeared to be government workers.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I wonder what is the matter with me?" the secretary left the office and closed the door, and the sturdy man looked at the three Lockharts in the room and asked the Prime Minister with a smile. "You came to me suddenly, it was said to be an emergency, if I hadn't happened to be in ......"

The Prime Minister was about to introduce them to each other, but something unexpected happened - the woman behind Rand changed her face the moment she saw Scrimgeour and Kingsley, and put her hand into her neckline, as if she was going to pull out some kind of weapon.

But she immediately stopped moving—Kingsley had already pointed his wand at her first.

"Maggie, trust me, none of the three wizards in this room can handle you. Kingsley said with a soft expression, moving his wand in his hand and pointing to the chair to the side: "I suggest you sit down and listen to our discussion, and then obediently let Gildelow wash away your memories before leaving." ”

The woman froze there, her hand in her collar, and after a moment she slowly pulled it out, and sat down on the side at Kingsley's instructions.

"What's going on?" asked the sturdy man, puzzled, bewildered by the scene, and at the same time saw the assistant minister in the corner.

"This Miss Maggie you brought here is a wizard and a former colleague of mine. Kingsley put away his wand.

Lohart nodded, wondering why Kingsley was so quick to tell that the woman in front of him, who had perfectly hidden the magic in her body, was a wizard...... It turned out to be because they knew each other.

"What?" Rand looked at Maggie, who was sitting in a chair and obediently put her hands on her knees.

"I'm sorry, Stephen, it's my job ......" she glanced at the man and apologized to him.

"Wizards really seem to be everywhere. The Prime Minister shook his head in frustration, "Sit down, let me introduce you, this is the head of the Security Service, but people are used to calling him MI5, Stephen Rand." ”

"Are all three wizards, huh......" Rand also saw Scrimgeer's most wanted face.

"That's right, and it's a wizard that the Ministry of Magic is hunting. Scrimgeour nodded at him. "I've heard ...... MI5"

"Heard? hehe-hey-" Rand looked like a barrel of explosives had been ignited, and sat down in another chair in annoyance. "MI5 and MI6 complement each other's functions, conducting internal intelligence work, defending the security of the United Kingdom and responding to the threat of secret organizations that threaten national security. including terrorism, espionage and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction...... But this is only a façade, what the general public does not know is that at the beginning of the establishment of this organization, it also had one of its most important responsibilities - to infiltrate and spy on the wizarding world in Britain, so that we non-wizarding humans can also know a little about the wizarding world, preferably with a certain degree of control. ”

"To be precise, containment, no ruler would like to have a group of completely uncontrolled guys in their own country. The Prime Minister said.

"MI5 is a great organisation. Scrimgeour smiled casually, "Your agents are of very high quality, and our Aurors from the Ministry of Magic have imitated you in terms of system and training, and the effect is very obvious - unfortunately......"

"It's a pity that we have been in a losing situation in the intelligence and espionage war with wizards, and the agents sent out often come back with blank minds, or even disappear outright...... For so many years, we didn't know anything about the wizarding world, especially the functioning of the Ministry of Magic, except for some common sense that any wizard knows!"

"This can't be helped, our wizard's identity is exposed, the Ministry of Magic's memory canceler will deal with it for him, and your agent identity is exposed, and the best outcome is to be brainwashed by the Oblivion Curse. If you are unlucky enough to meet a dark wizard, you can't go back. ”

"That's right, we used to think that it was because of the difference between wizards and ordinary people, so we also tried to turn against those wizards whose parents were ordinary people, that is, the hemp wizards you call hemp wizards, and asked them to investigate the reasons for the changes in the wizarding world. Rand chattered and spat bitterness, "It turned out to be about the same, and he was sent home with his memories cleansed." ”

"Muggle-born wizards rarely make it to the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic. "It's a fact, not to mention the upper echelons, it's a miracle that Muggle-born wizards can enter the Ministry of Magic to work.

"That's not the point, I didn't know until now, it turns out that our world has been infiltrated by wizards to this point a long time ago, and I'm trying to figure out how to deal with wizards, but even my most trusted assistant - it's a wizard!" he pointed angrily at Maggie. "In this case, it's strange that you can succeed if you want to do something to the wizarding world!"
