Chapter 105: Hermes
"Smack. ”
In a dimly lit environment, with a snap of fingers, a few flames suddenly appeared, which were a few candles floating in the air.
The faint candlelight casts around, and in the middle of the wide inner room, a long table as smooth as a mirror is placed, and more than a dozen people sit around the table, silent, this is like a conference hall.
The eyes suddenly brightened, and the people sitting on both sides were a little uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"I was thinking, maybe it's because the light is too dark. The first pair of gray eyes glanced left and right, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the Daily Prophet placed in front of him, "Is it clear now? ”
The rhythmic percussion sound seemed to ring in the hearts of everyone, and they couldn't help but bury their heads lower, but they didn't dare to take their eyes off the newspaper in front of them for a moment. In the center of the paper was a photograph of the event, dozens of scarred black-robed men being tried by the Ministry of Magic, their faces ashen, and many of them came forward one after another, pleading with their faces, as if they were confessing something.
"Emperor...... Mr. Timos. ”
The person in the seat had a hoarse voice, swallowing with difficulty, knowing that he was out of shape, and couldn't help standing up under nervousness, but he inadvertently drove the chair behind him to rub on the floor, making a harsh sound.
Cold sweat burst out, he hurriedly grabbed the chair and moved it back gently, turned around, but saw that he didn't know when, the porcelain cup that was originally placed on the table was floating in front of him at this moment, he immediately looked up, his face was full of panic.
"Moisten your throat first. ”
A knife-like face poked out of the darkness, deep eyes without a hint of anger, and a smile with a hint of playfulness.
The man hurriedly withdrew his eyes, looked at the coffee in front of him, which was already cold, but had not moved a sip, and rolled his Adam's apple. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked over one after another, full of schadenfreude, he couldn't help but secretly hate, he was obsessed with his mind or what, why should he be this bird?
However, he had to send it on the string, and after a little muttering, he closed his eyes with a heart, picked up the porcelain cup and poured it into his mouth, and drank a whole cup of coffee with a few clicks.
After putting down the cup, he wiped the corners of his mouth, he seemed to have eased his strength, looked at the head of the head and said calmly, "Mr. Timos." ”
Say. Timos nodded, stopping his tapping.
"Benson. He turned his head to look at the person opposite, and cleared his throat in the gloomy face of the other party hidden under the scar, "In this operation, although we have personnel under each of us, you are the only commander-in-chief. ”
"What do you mean that this operation failed because of me?" Glancing at the other party, Benson said in a muffled voice.
"More precisely, two failed operations. However, once five years ago, you were not the commander, and there was a change, and you are not to blame. This time. Seeing the almost irrepressible anger in Bensen's eyes, the man's expression was subtle, and he temporarily changed his tone, "Your plan is very thorough, at least from this point of view, I can't blame you." ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" he exhaled slowly, his cold eyes falling on the other party.
"Uh, hehe. The man was stared at by Benson for a moment, and after smiling awkwardly, he tried to euphemistically, "I just want to give you a kind reminder that you can't have a capable subordinate with a spell alone." ”
"It's your turn to play with me?" said Benson, scoffing.
"No, no, no, this is not a private opinion, I am just stating an objective fact. He hurriedly waved his hand, and said this, looking at the two standing behind Benson, "After all, you said it before, it was Evans who had an abnormality at that time, which caused the failure, and I believe everyone still remembers what you said." ”
Hearing this, seeing that Timos was looking at him with interest, Benson put one hand into his arms and turned his head to look behind him: "Evans, why did you stop? Tell me." ”
"I ...... I do not know. He remembered that strange dullness, and his face was full of confusion.
As soon as the words fell, in the eyes of everyone full of surprise, Benson suddenly drew his wand and aimed it at Evans, and at the same time, the sentence "drill the heart and cut the bone" had already blurted out.
"Ahh
The moment the screams sounded, many people had already shown clear expressions, and their faces were full of inexplicable smiles.
After a while, Evans curled up on the ground, convulsed and fainted. This scene fell into his eyes, and the face of the person opposite was full of surprise and happiness, seeing that the other party actually took the initiative to back down, thinking that the always fierce Benson was pressed by himself, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Why don't you just kill him, this scum ruins the whole plan!" he was anxious to humiliate Benson even more, in order to gain face in front of Mr. Timos and satisfy his vile vanity.
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy gasp suddenly sounded in the entire conference hall. On Benson's side face facing him, he clearly saw a murderous look staring at him above the other party's agitated nose.
"What do you want to do!" he was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back, and the chair made another noise, suddenly reminding him of the embarrassing scene that had just happened, and in shame, he stepped forward again, and said sharply, "Don't forget what the occasion is!"
Hearing this, Bensen's eyes suddenly dimmed, but before this person could show smugness, the other person behind the former suddenly pulled out his wand and aimed it at him with a sentence of "Avada Kodava".
"Bang!"
"Ahh
The porcelain cup rose in front of him in time, but the man didn't seem to see it, and hurriedly squatted down with his head in his hands, and a piece of shard fell to the top of his head, and he shuddered suddenly, and screamed like a frightened bird and beast.
"Stand up. ”
After a moment of silence, Timos's voice came. After a few more seconds, the man opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
"Tuk tuk. ”
There was a knock from above, and the broken cup in front of him quickly returned to its original state.
"His name is Lucas, isn't he?" Timos waved his hand.
Benson understood, withdrew the wand against Lucas's head back into his arms, turned his face upwards, and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Timos." ”
"You've got a good knife, congratulations. Timos curled the corners of his mouth.
"If you want it, he's yours. Benson bowed slightly.
"I've never taken a liking from people, you should know. Timos leaned over the table with his broad chin in his hand, and scanned the crowd, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Don't always try to shirk responsibility. The operation was undoubtedly a failure, but it exposed more problems than just mentioned. Seeing that everyone was silent, Timos rubbed his head, "The dozens of wastes that were captured alive have made us lose a lot of hidden stakes due to repeated confessions. These are your men, how do you explain that?" he said, looking at the man to his left.
The man understood, and immediately replied in a deep voice: "Blame me for not teaching well, this time when I go back, I will strictly screen, but if I find a person who is not strong-minded, I will send it to the research base as an experimental subject, and it will be used as waste!"
"Got ideas, what about you?" he turned to look at the others.
"Me too. ”
"Me too. ”
"Same opinion. ”
"I did the same. ”
......
The crowd spoke in unison and made promises one after another.
"Benson. When silence returned to the chamber, Timos called.
"Mr. Timos. Benson said respectfully, bowing his head again.
"This time the loss is large, and it stands to reason that we should be held accountable. Timorston paused, his gray eyes revealing a hint of sharpness, "However, I can give you another chance." Five years, you can enjoy it as the last time of your life. Or, use your time wisely and think more about how you will get things done. ”
"Yes, sir. Benson buried his head even lower, and in the blind corner that no one could see, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Evans is your man, and so is Lucas. Timos raised his eyes and turned to look at the others, "One delays the fighter plane, and the other commits the following crimes, and the problem of the two of them is up to you." ”
Hearing this, Benson didn't know much, the first person who stood up before was proud, and he immediately smiled at the gaze that Timos swept over.
"The time has passed, everyone should control their subordinates first, and then cultivate for a few more years. ”
With that, Timos got up and left, his back quickly disappearing into the darkness.
After that, everyone also left the scene one by one. Benson erected the crutches lying on his legs, stood up with the help of Lucas, and when he saw Evans curled up on the ground, he said angrily: "Take him away!"
Lucas nodded, leaned over and picked up Evans, but the moment he stood up, he inadvertently glanced at the person who had risen earlier. He was looking at Benson's gauze-covered left leg, a mocking look on his face. Lucas's eyes narrowed, and the man was startled, and hurriedly walked out briskly without looking back, but he was still muttering.
Staring at the man's back, Lucas's chest rose and fell several times, and finally pressed down again.
"Don't deal with a dead man. Seeing Lucas pondering when he heard this, Benson smiled, "Let's go first, think about this matter slowly." ”
The hall was empty in a few moments, and the candles were still not extinguished. In a dark corner, a figure suddenly appeared, wrapped in clothes, revealing only a pair of gray eyes.
He glanced at it, then clapped his hands, and everything in the hall began to take care of itself. The chairs were tucked into the belly of the table, the newspaper and the cup of coffee were raised and flew into the side door, and the candles in mid-air were extinguished one by one, falling back to the ledge on the wall and the crystal ceiling in the middle of the room.
With all that was done, he turned in the direction where Timos had just left, and fell into darkness again.
Circling around, he came to a passage in front of him, in front of which Timos was facing away from him, and seemed to stand for a long time.
"Tell those right-hand men, go back and find a reason, and slaughter that unworthy thing for me. ”
"It's good to use waste, big brother. ”
"Hermes, my youngest brother. Timos turned, "It depends on the situation, there is that kind of scum that can only eat dog in this group, and it will eventually stumble us in our tracks, and it is better to die before it is too late." His only remaining role is to set an example!" he said, almost gritting his teeth.
"Got it. Hermes hurriedly said, and then showed a smile, "Then I'll go first!"
"Go ahead, be careful to hide your identity, safety is the most important thing. Seeing his brother's heartfelt smile, Timos couldn't help but laugh, "Tell Lucas too, tell him to be careful, Benson is a particularly violent person." ”
"Hmm. ”
With a response, Hermes's figure disappeared in an instant.
After a moment of contemplation, Timos continued to put a smile on his face, turned around several rooms, came to a very deep place, and called out to the door, "Delphi." ”
With a creak, the girl who opened the door, with a slender figure, fell into the eyes of Timos. He didn't have a trace of nostalgia, and the moment he saw the other party's delicate facial features, his eyes naturally showed apology.
"I'm sorry, Delphi. ”
"What's wrong? Uncle Timos. Her pale face flushed with two sickly reds.
"I think your father may be a few years later than he returns, I'm sorry for you, we failed this time. His words were full of love, and Timos put his hands on Delphi's shoulders.
Hearing this, she pursed her lips, looked forced to be calm, and said politely: "It's okay, uncle, it's been many years, I believe you will succeed in the end, I don't mind waiting a few more years." ”
As she spoke, she pulled God Morse's hands: "Uncle, you can take a look first, after the research of the ancestral bloodline was interrupted, my research in other directions has made breakthroughs!"
"Really? Uncle should take a good look. Timos was pleasantly surprised, and this time, he felt that he was genuine.
