Chapter 65: Walking in the City of Calamity
Behind the stone arch, Hallie was standing on a stone path.
The road is straight and wide, and there is no end in sight. The ground is paved with neat stone slabs, like an ordinary street in a town in Great Britain.
Where Harley was at this point, the road was lined with two-story buildings with gardens, and tall buildings could be faintly seen in the distance.
"This is the City of Calamity." Harley sighed softly, playfully, and quickly looked around.
The door behind her for herself to enter was gone, and she didn't know where it went.
"It seems that the stone arch has a fixed position in the Ministry of Magic, but its position in the City of Calamity moves randomly."
Black flames ignited on Harry's body, trying to make a mark underneath her feet.
But the flames were extinguished after a few seconds of being extinguished by Harley, who shook her head and accepted the idea of marking at any time.
It's too mysterious, it's too dangerous, and if you leave your power behind, there's a good chance that unpredictable consequences will happen.
Harley hadn't forgotten the clone formed by a stand-in wand a year ago.
The doppelganger's betrayal was so sudden, and an independent will was inexplicably generated. I didn't receive any warning, and I didn't feel any changes in my surroundings or any force attacking.
But the doppelganger was indeed out of his control.
Luckily, the doppelganger didn't seem to have much thinking or fighting ability, otherwise Harley suspected that she might have to go through a tough battle, and maybe even get injured by surprise.
And now, Hallie's strength is very different from what it was at the beginning, and she has become an archangel.
If there is another anomaly, I am afraid that the scene of the anomaly will not be as ordinary and harmless as it was at the beginning.
Eat a trench and grow wise, the Doomsday Witch will not fall in the same place twice.
Hallie stood still, her eyes closed, carefully taking care of her surroundings.
Harley didn't dare to enter the spirit world here, and she couldn't remember the corresponding location through the spirit world, so she had to use some other small means.
After completing the initial task, Harley opened her eyes slightly confused.
According to the former God and the Mystery, when he enters the City of Calamity again, the other two sequences: the extraordinary characteristics of the Doomsday Witch and the uniqueness of the witch's path should directly feel Harry's presence and directly accept the summons.
But now, Harley could only faintly feel three powerful and familiar high-level objects in the distance, and those three objects were motionless and had no tendency to come towards her.
"What happened?" Harley couldn't help but frown, after all, there was an unexpected situation at this time.
Her original plan was to wait here for a while, and wait for the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness to manipulate the natives of the Calamity City to arrive under the effect of the law of extraordinary characteristics aggregation.
The last time she arrived in Calamity City, Harley had already determined that there were many unknown beings who were permanently bound and enslaved by Calamity City.
All Harley has to do is kill them to get the extraordinary traits she needs.
A vicious battle is certainly inevitable in the process, but this method is much safer than going deep into the City of Calamity in search of extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness.
Although Harley has been recognized by Calamity City for a while in the promotion sequence, it stands to reason that there will not be much danger.
But after all, this is a mysterious, terrifying essentia, and Harley doesn't have the guts to swim here.
And now, before this plan has been launched, it has been completely declared bankrupt. This made Harry's face a little cloudy.
But it doesn't have to be an accident, maybe it's the mystery and God didn't reveal the actual situation to him in the first place?
Or, after all, this is the city of calamity, and the path taken by God and the mysterious has nothing to do with this essentia.
So it's possible that even they themselves don't understand how the city works, and don't know what the future holds. After the last time the two combined blocked the arrival of other extraordinary features and uniqueness, it is possible that this forced aggregation that originated from the initial setup disappeared completely.
Since she can't figure out the truth, Harley can only re-plan the plan according to the current situation, and take the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness herself.
After lamenting her bad luck, Harley's face suddenly distorted.
A silver gem that was as smooth as silver flowing water slowly emerged from the center of Hallie's brow and shattered.
The bright silver of the gem flowed freely, and finally turned into a silver braid that shrouded Harry's body.
In order to conceal the intricate symbol on the center of her eyebrows, Harley has been using the Cloak of Invisibility to conceal its presence. Only this extraordinary item corresponding to the Sequence 2 Servant of the Secret, combined with Harry's own strength, can barely do this.
And now, for the first time, the Potter family's ancestral cloak of invisibility is draped over its newest owner.
Harley wasn't going to go deep into Calamity City, but wanted to lure the Extraordinary Trait to come over, so she didn't use the Cloak of Invisibility to hide her existence.
But now, Harley is going deep into Calamity City. If she didn't hide it, she wouldn't have the guts.
As the cloak of invisibility enveloped Harry's body, she was wiped out of the air by an eraser like a portrait on canvas.
The stone-paved streets were empty and dead silent, except for the sight of aborigines flashing behind some of the windows.
…………
Harley quickly ran through the streets, trying not to make too much contact with the City of Calamity.
Every time she landed, she tapped her toes on the slate, leaned forward, and then floated forward for a long distance before landing again, repeating the previous movement.
The timing of Harry's arrival in Calamity City doesn't seem to have been well chosen, as the stone arch was previously located on the edge of a city, and Sequence One's extraordinary properties and uniqueness are located closer to the middle of the city.
So Hallie still has a long way to go before she can reach her destination.
As Harley continued to advance, there were some "human tracks" on the originally empty streets ahead...... Probably barely what can be called a "human trace".
As they reached a certain location, the air was suddenly filled with a hazy pale white mist, and in the fog there were several more figures.
Figures walked slowly down the street, dressed in normal attire, some in suits and leather shoes, others in short-sleeved shirts and jeans.
Aside from walking slowly, these figures do not look any different from the inhabitants of the normal Muggle world.
But if you sneak up on a pedestrian and take a closer look, no one thinks so.
Beneath these ordinary clothes, it was not normal human skin, but dark red flesh, wounds still flowing with dark yellow pus, mutilated organs with beast bite marks, and even white bones covered in blood.
More than once, Hallie noticed that all that was left of the pedestrians was a skull with a bit of rotting flesh, a bloody vertebrae, and two white leg bones, which were connected together in a very strange way.
But even so, these strange creatures still move slowly and rhythmically along the stone path, as if everything is normal and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
They wander the streets as if they have no purpose at all. But after wandering for a while, a monster may suddenly walk into a nearby house and even lock the door.
Further down, Harley even saw the broken carriage and the small car with only the frame left.
The body of the former was full of cracks and holes, and the horse pulling the cart had three legs of white bones, and the remaining legs were also half less fleshy. It also did not have half a hair on its body, but was covered with corpse spots;
The coachman in the carriage was covered in blue-black skin, and his clothes were swollen to the brim, as if a poke could leak disgusting pus, as if the occasional giant in Muggle homicides;
The latter was covered in rust, with only three wheels left, and the front hood was gone, and the engine inside was covered with flesh and blood, and in the flesh grew eyes that were constantly turning.
The car was full of passengers, but all of them had only one head, and their hair stood up as if it were growing with the iron sheet on the roof. Underneath the skull was empty, nothing. And the driver's position was even more empty, only two bloody hands grasping the steering wheel.
But even so, the car can still drive normally, and it looks very infiltrating.
These strange scenes are a warning to the living beings who have come to the city of calamity, this is not a beautiful world.
Harley didn't waste much time on these weirdnesses, just silently raised her vigilance.
After an unknown amount of time in the City of Calamity, Harley finally reached her first destination.
It's a supermarket, but when she sees the name of the supermarket, Harley's expression becomes more serious.
Because this supermarket is Sainsbury's supermarket, it is a century-old chain store in Great Britain, and it is also a frequent place for ordinary Muggles to go on their daily shopping.
Combined with the signs of damage on the store's familiar signboard, the familiar way the goods are displayed through the windows, and all the other details.
Hallie could be sure it was the one near Dursley's house.
But Harley vaguely remembers that the shop was destroyed by an explosion of an underground gas pipeline and a resulting fire when she was still in her second year at Hogwarts.
According to the Dursleys during their chat, nothing was rescued from the store, and even several clerks were unable to escape.
And now, this store has appeared here for no reason.
Thinking of this, Harley already had a wand in her hand, and the spell was ready to be fired at any moment.
The urge to use the witch's abilities was completely suppressed by Harley, for fear of irritating the city of calamity.
The cloak lifted itself and regrouped together.
Harley flicked her wand, attaching a transparent shell to the outside, before remelting it back into her brow.
She was just about to enter the supermarket when suddenly, a crisp sound came from Hallie's neck: "Click." ”
A crooked line of blood appeared on Hallie's white neck, as if it was a child's random graffiti.
An invisible hand appeared in the air, grabbing Harley's head.
There was a series of "clicks" in her body, and Hallie's head was lifted directly by an invisible hand, and dragged out of the bloody spine by the way.
All of Hallie's ribs broke and her spine broke in that string of "clicks". The power of Calamity City directly bypassed the witch's passive life-saving ability and directly acted on Harley's body!
There was no change in the expression on Hallie's face, but a wand suddenly fell out of her hair. The wand shattered in an instant, turning into a cloud of ashes.
But this is not enough, with the mark of the City of Calamity concealed, the damage that the City of Calamity can do to the extraordinary people of the two paths, the witch and the hunter, is also lower than the other paths, but the low is limited.
In addition, this is already a relatively core area of Calamity City, and with a mere wand stand-in, it is impossible to bear so much damage that has been transferred
More wands fell from Hallie's long hair, and before they hit the ground, they were reduced to ashes.
And the ashes will be curled up by the hair, and I don't know where they are hidden.
It wasn't until after the sixth wand dropped that all damage was fully transferred.
Hallie's skull and spine fell back into her body of their own, and all the wounds healed instantly, and the bones were connected as if nothing had happened.
Harley couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is Calamity City, the essentia above sequence zero." ”
She twisted her head, rubbed her neck, and finally strode towards the supermarket.
As she got closer, Harley could see more clearly that the glass of the supermarket was covered in tiny cracks, as if it had been struck hard by a giant hammer.
At that time, it was supposed that after suffering this kind of injury, ordinary glass should have been completely shattered.
But the glass is still tenaciously connected together, and there is no trace of falling off.
Finally, Hallie reached out and pushed open the door of the supermarket.
Almost at the same time, a voice rang out: "Hello, are you, come shopping?" ”
"Please come in."

(ps. In the original city, there is a telegraph office in Banxi, and there is a tram.) Therefore, the author makes a reasonable assumption that if the sites destroyed by the disaster happen to be within the power of the city of calamity, there will be corresponding traces here. In the original book, the city of calamity is located in the Western Continent, and the scene that Klein sees through the fog is in line with the magic capital of the Min Kingdom period, with horse-drawn carriages and trams, which should be regarded as supporting the author's conjecture. )
(In addition, this book does not involve the setting of fate.,It's all booked but haven't read it yet.。 I've heard that the content of the Predator Cross has appeared, and there may be a conflict in the setting, so please understand. (End of chapter)
