Chapter 97: Timos and Delphi
“......”
Evans hung his head, no movement except for wheezing and heaving chest.
"Well, it's very willpowering. Rubbing his broad chin, Timos said in a low voice, "But you must know that your endurance has reached the limit, and if you continue like this, you will die." You, you have no choice. ”
"Heh!" Evans raised his head slightly, glancing at him obliquely, "You can't get anything else but my life!" The guy in front of him shrouded in shadows was no longer a threat to him who was already going to die.
"Being able to resist the Imperius Curse is something that most Aurors can't do, and Christine has taught you well. Is it to protect Kevin?" Although it was a question, Timos's tone was full of certainty, "It is really a waste that such a tenacious will is not used by me. ”
"Hah!" After a sneer, seeing Timos turn and walk into a passage, Evans sarcastically said to his back, "Don't you know that the more you cast the Imperius Curse, the worse the effect?
Timos didn't pause, and as Evans' words fell, the figure disappeared from the other end of the passage.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Benson laughed on the side, full of schadenfreude, "Your good sister, Christine, didn't she tell you about that?"
"Phew!"
The hateful-looking guy beside him made Evans not even look at it, and spat a mouthful of blood directly on him. This time, Benson gasped violently, and it took him a while to suppress the fire, and he said hatefully: "In the future, there will be kung fu to clean you up!"
"But I don't like your smug face even more!" said Benson, shaking off the stains on his body, "and let me tell you." Do you remember that little boy who accidentally killed his parents?"
Seeing Evans suddenly raise his head and glare at him when he heard this, Benson's face was full of enjoyment: "However, there is one thing that everyone knows, only you are kept in the dark. That is, this tragedy was not an accident. ”
"You......!" Evans scurred, trying to break free from the wooden frame behind him, but as soon as he forced a word out between his teeth, he was deflated by the pain all over his body. He hung his head and gasped heavily, trembling all over, not knowing whether he was hurt or resentful.
"You think the Dark Lord's time is over? No, he still has an heir who inherits his blood and talent, as well as his ambition and research. Benson leaned into Evans' ear, "You were one of the few successful experiments back then, but now it's different, with the bloodline of the Dark Lord's reincarnation, there will be countless you in the world in the future." ”
"Whew!whew!" Evans took a few deep breaths, temporarily suppressing the pain in his body, he stared at Benson coldly, and suddenly his face became suspicious, "What's the matter with your face?"
Evans's sudden question, Benson didn't have time to change his mind, he froze in place for a moment, and his hand unconsciously touched his face.
Looking at Benson's stupid appearance, Evans smiled lightly: "That day the mission failed, and you ran away in embarrassment, didn't it feel good?
As soon as the words fell, Benson came back to his senses, and he felt annoyed and angry when he was teased, and the whip raised high in his hand was about to fall.
"Benson!"
In the next second, the door at the other end of the passage was opened, and a voice followed. He shuddered and quickly put down his whip.
"Lord Timos. Benson bowed to the side and said respectfully.
"Then he will be taught by you. This is your new task, and it counts as atonement. Timos said something inexplicable, at least in Evans' opinion.
Taking the note that Timos walked over to him, Benson replied and turned to look at Evans. Seeing that the other party seemed to realize something, his face began to be wrong, he smiled and beckoned behind his back. Soon, a man with a camera came out of the darkness and pointed it at Evans.
"I've said so much, I think you should have guessed it. That's right, this is the improved Imperius Curse, and you can't carry it. Looking at Evans, who was glaring at him with gritted teeth, Benson said happily, "Do you know why I tortured you with a whip instead of a heart curse? ”
"Say, isn't it?" Evans's increasingly rapid breathing made Benson unable to extricate himself, and he further stimulated, "I would like to see Christine and Kevin in torment more than you, one sinking in torment, the other awakening in pain, isn't that a good thing?" ha!"
"Benson, you scum!" Evans finally roared, his violently shaking body causing a jumbled sound of the bound chains.
"Ugh!"
There was a sudden exclamation behind him, and although it was very light, it still made Timos aware of it. He turned his head to look over, and there stood a little pale girl at the entrance of the passageway, who was now covering her mouth and looking in horror.
"Delphi, didn't I let you stay inside?" Timos, changing his usual cold tone, walked over to cover the girl, and said softly, "Are you scared?"
"I miss Daddy. The girl raised her forehead, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and muttered. At this moment, there was an "out-of-body sound" not far away, and the magnesium light flashed, and the girl couldn't help but turn her head to look over, but Timos turned sideways again to block her vision.
"Don't worry, as soon as the master returns, we will bring him to you. Timos stroked Delphi's long hair and half-crouched down, "Now, you should go back to recuperate before you have enough stamina to study the powerful spell and help us bring our master back, right?"
Delphi bit her lip and whispered, then turned and walked a little down the road, shutting the door with a little difficulty.
Timos turned his head, and at some point another man came, standing not far away on crutches, and came into his field of vision.
This person was looking frightened, and when he saw Timos looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Timos." ”
Timos nodded, "Just so you're here, Jacob, I just gave Benson a mission, and now I have another task for you." As he spoke, he didn't notice that Delphi, who turned his head, looked at the room with a hint of amusement in his eyes the moment the door closed.
Hearing this, Jacob glanced at the bandages around his body, as well as the original left arm and right leg, and the empty scene at this time, with an expression of disbelief. In the next second, he shook off his crutches and threw himself on the ground, crying bitterly: "Thank you, sir! Thank you for taking care of me!" As he spoke, a little blood was oozing from his body, and it was obvious that the wound had cracked again.
"I have heard about your deeds from others, and I am very optimistic about you if you can break out of the siege and interception. Don't worry, I won't do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey. As if he hadn't seen this, Timos lifted Jacob up from the clean floor and patted him with dust that wasn't there, "Tell me first, if you have any latest news." ”
"Rumor has it that Kevin has Ancestral Blood in his body...... Sir, what is the Ancestral Bloodline?" Jacob asked cautiously as he took the cane that Timos had picked up.
Timos didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Benson, who pulled Evans, who had collapsed to the ground, towards the door: "Benson, be careful not to get killed." ”
"Hey, sir, you know, I only have one hand to exert my strength for the time being. Benson tried to argue, then laughed at the emotionless eyes of Timos, pouted and carried the bloodied Evans on his back and walked out.
Timos turned his head and smiled, "The ancestral bloodline is the bloodline that allows us to help our master accomplish great things, you just need to know this." ”
Sensing the hidden warning in his words, Jacob was eager to slap himself, and he immediately replied, "Yes, I will take it to heart, sir." ”
"Well, the task given to you this time is about the ancestral bloodline. Do you remember our research institute in the Muggle world?" Seeing Jacob's face clear, Timos put a hand on his shoulder, "You can help me guard the place, it's not tiring to live, just take care of the elderly, how about it?"
"No problem, sir, do your duty!" said Jacob.
"Go ahead, heal from your injuries before taking office. ”
"Thank you, sir!" said Jacob, trembling, and then moved outside little by little on crutches.
Looking at Jacob's distant figure, the person who had taken pictures before turned to look at Timos, and said with a puzzled face: "Isn't it easier to kill directly?" The research base has sufficient defense forces, and there is no more of him, and no less of him. ”
At this time, there were only two of them in the room, and Timos sat back in his chair, propped his head in one hand, and said frankly, "My brother, this is exactly what you have to learn." I did it not for him, but for others to see. You know, blind brutality can't be done, and the so-called Dark Lord, the ridiculous Voldemort, is a wake-up call for the two of us. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
"Well, go and distribute the photos, tell them to spread it, and by the way, tell everyone to gather their hands and feet and try to avoid exposure. Now is not the time to make a difficulty, after a series of events these days, the Ministry of Magic is already very nervous, in order to avoid a head-on conflict, we have to recuperate for a few years, secretly accumulate strength. ”
"Understood, big brother, I'll do it!"
In the empty room, there was only Timos alone, he pondered for a moment, then put on a smile, walked into the passage, and shouted: "Delphi, uncle forgot to ask just now, are you feeling better now?"
