Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() "...What kind of wizard is that guy? It's terrible."

Joshua, who was hit by Maca’s rapid burst of spells, was now running away frantically.He had to flee, because this was the first time he was beaten with curse without any backhand since he had this power.

Although he doesn't know how powerful his master really is—it must be very strong, right?However, the master has never dealt with them with an offensive spell, because the master only needs to activate the brand to completely lose their will to fight.

No, they are a group of timid children, where does the fighting will come from?

"...Didn't he chase him?"

Joshua ran wildly in the alley, looking back from time to time, but he never found any signs of chasing him.But he couldn't stop, full of horror-he didn't even have the guts to take a breath!

He kept running, just to stay away from the monster wizard that suddenly appeared... the farther the better!

He hadn't thought about where he should escape, he was just running away instinctively.

While he was running, the buildings on both sides kept receding, and gradually merged with the night.Occasionally, there are one or two owls, which are as stern as the cry of a child, and the gloom makes people shudder.

Joshua felt as if he had returned to his childhood, a time when he had not been taken away by his master.He thought of his father, who was drunk, gambling, and who beat him when he was fine.

He also remembered that one night he escaped from that filthy and terrifying home, only to be chased by his father holding a club and losing a leg.

Yes, that's right... That night was also so dim, there was no starlight or moon, the street lights were constantly flashing, and the night cat's hiss made his legs and feet weak.

He ran continuously, and the lame and terrible father was chasing him closely behind him. The stick in his hand was thick and hard, and it was burning pain when he scratched his back.

His father planted a seed of fear for him.

"...Don't come here! Father... don't hit me..."

Joshua's spirit was almost on the verge of collapse. He dragged his weak body to run forward with all his strength, muttering constantly in his mouth.

This chaos seemed to have brought him some strength.I saw him rushing all the way, black mist appeared again, and gradually covered his whole body.

Not long after, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the exit of Jackson Square subconsciously.

The wind whimpered in his ear, but he didn't hear it at all.He was overwhelmed by his own fear, that kind of inexplicable power encroached on his whole body, disrupted his thoughts, and forced him to follow instinctive actions.

He wants to go home, return to the place that "father" can't find, and accept the punishment honestly.Although the master's punishment was terrible, it was not an alternative salvation for him.

Because no one treats him well, no one needs him-only the master needs him!

"... Accept the punishment, and then the master will continue to need me. I will go back there and escape from the terrible'father', and the master will hug me as usual..."

Many children were taken there. He was not the first, nor was he the last.It is still unclear what other children think, but this is what Joshua thinks.

When he rushed through the brick wall and reappeared on the streets of New York, he had completely turned into a thick black fog flying at high speed.

In the black mist with long tails, the number of "Mars" mixed with it was several times more than usual, and it looked like a meteor shining red in the air.

The meteor dashed high under the low clouds and darted to the west of the city center.

...

A slightly dilapidated monastery stood beside an abandoned warehouse.The outer wall of this monastery is mottled gray and yellow, dark green creepers cover a lot of area, and most of the original exquisite carvings have been destroyed.

From the outside, it doesn't seem like a place where people come back.

"Squeaky-"

Joshua opened the tall wooden door in a daze, dragging a heavy step into it.Instead of staying in this dusty space, he walked straight toward the courtyard behind.

There is also nothing unusual in the atrium. Withered weeds are everywhere, and the fountain pond has already dried up.There seems to be some strange graffiti on the wall, but it has long become a mystery that no one can solve.

Joshua passed through the atrium, stepped up the loose staircase, and entered an empty room on the second floor.

In this room, there is a tattered bed and an empty desk.And on the wall opposite the desk, there was a broken mirror.

The mirror was covered with dust, making the figure almost invisible.

"Yeqi's tail feathers."

Joshua read the command vaguely while facing the mirror.However, as time passed by, the mirror did not produce any changes.

"Yeqi's tail feathers!"

He stared at the broken mirror in a daze, and repeated the password again, but there was still no movement at all—the scene he expected did not appear.

"...Why, why... the password is not wrong... Ye Qi's tail feathers! Ye Qi's tail feathers! Ye Qi..."

He rushed to the mirror, pressed his hands against the wall, and muttered frantically.He wanted to go back, to the place that made him both fearful and attached.

But the cold reality in front of him gradually made him feel desperate.The broken mirror seemed to tell him silently that the last redemption in his life, the last light in his darkness, had quietly extinguished at some point.

"It seems... you have been abandoned?"

A voice suddenly rang behind him, making his feet soft and falling to the ground in a panic.Without hesitation, he crawled to the dirty corner almost with hands and feet, shuddering all over.

In the direction of the sound, Maca's figure gradually appeared-he was standing at the door of the room, watching everything here silently.

"Have you got the news so soon?" He squinted, staring at the mirror and muttered.

The other party's response to Sirius was to immediately wipe it out, because for the silent person, dealing with Sirius is not a difficult task.

If Maca did not come, if Maca did not arrange for the protection of the eight-eyed giant spider, I am afraid Sirius would have been quietly eliminated.

No, even if there is an alienated eight-eyed giant spider, the opponent can send reinforcements to try to eliminate it.Therefore, they have no reason to choose to abandon a silent person who has finally been cultivated so decisively.

Then, there are not many reasons for them to abandon Joshua, and the most likely one is the arrival of Maca.

He stretched out his hand and fumbled around the mirror, carefully sensing the magical fluctuations in it.A large amount of magic knowledge flowed quickly in his mind, contrasting with the magic feedback in front of him.

After a short while, he put his hand down.

"Your name is'Joshua'... right?" Maca turned his head and looked at the shivering young man in the corner, "Would you like to follow me in to see? I think you should want to ask them. Some Problems……"

He paused for a while, then chuckled softly: "...Of course, provided that they haven't run away yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff in his hand was already lifted, and while the magic power was surging, a series of complicated magic characters flashed across the top of the staff, and they fell into the dim mirror fragments one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the shattered mirror suddenly shrouded in a layer of silver light, and the original defect and old place began to be automatically repaired.

Not long after, a brand-new full-length mirror that was incompatible with the dilapidated environment around him suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the mirror that was as clean as new, Maca couldn't see his figure. All he could see was the scene of this room.But unlike the actual environment, the room in the mirror is not messy or old.

Maca turned his head again, and the young man named Joshua got up when the mirror was shining silver, and walked to him in a daze.

But when Maca's eyes fell on him again, he stepped back inexplicably in horror, and stood aside with his neck hunched.

"Enter or not, you decide for yourself."

Maca didn't have time to waste on him. After leaving a word casually, he walked directly into the mirror.

The monastery in the mirror has a lot of traces of life, the hanging lamps in the corridor are still exuding a gentle brilliance, the red carpet is soft and clean, and the landscape oil painting on the wall is vivid and clear.

Maca walked gently in the corridor, and occasionally opened a room to take a look, but no one was found.

When he came to the hall downstairs, the fireplace seemed to have just gone out, and the embers still exuded warm air.

In front of a few seats on the long dining table next to them, there were even leftover rice leftovers from eating. The unfinished pumpkin cream soup was still steaming a little.

"Have you just left?" Maca frowned, "The clue is broken again..."

He pulled off a chair and sat down, propped his forehead and thought quietly.

After a short while, while Maca was still finishing his thoughts, Joshua walked in nervously.He saw Maca sitting at the dining table at a glance, and suddenly stopped in a flustered footstep, and stopped at the door without saying a word.

He seemed to be at a loss, not knowing what to do.He didn't dare to talk to Maca, he didn't dare to turn around and leave—he didn't even know where he should go in the future.

He could only stand there silently, staring blankly at the pattern on the carpet with his eyelids down.

"Do you know where they went?"

As Maca asked, Joshua trembled.
