Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 1206 Life and Death Under Big Ben

Although Mondungus almost didn't guess right, in fact, Lupin did encounter some special circumstances.

Of course, at least it seems that he is still safe for the time being.

Right now behind Big Ben, the iconic building in London, there are many wizards of unknown origin and identities are gathering quickly.The expressions of these people looked a little confused, and there was terrible darkness in their eyes, without exception.

Yes, these wizards were originally apprentices received by Helbo, but now, they have become lunatics with loss of sanity.

However, it is worth mentioning that even though he was so crazy in the battle before, and even seriously injured, he still feared death.But now, these witches and wizards were surprisingly quiet, they just came from all over the city in silence, and then gathered in this clearing one after another.

Lupin watched in secret from the roof of the building across the street, although he could hardly see the specific situation there because of the fog.But no way, he didn't dare to get close again easily.

He only knew that the black wizards over there were all standing in the clearing towards the Big Ben side, seeming to be waiting for something.

About half an hour later, when Lupin suddenly remembered that it was time to send Maca the ciphertext of intelligence, a figure with a certain sense of inexplicable depression flew down from the Big Ben. It landed firmly in front of the black wizards.

"A total of forty-two people...well, although it is a little bit small, it is enough. Congratulations, you... will soon be fortunate to witness the arrival of a brand new century with me. And then, you will be able to Become the first batch of residents of the new world, put aside this mediocre and cumbersome body, and gain true immortality with me!"

"Look, sometimes, I am actually a very generous person..."

Through the heavy fog, Lupin could vaguely hear the man's voice.He felt that it should have been Helbo who had fought with Maca many times, but because he couldn't see the other side's appearance, he couldn't confirm whether his guess was right or wrong for the time being.

However, just as Lupin wanted to continue listening to the other party, the man suddenly stopped talking.Because that person also seemed to think that talking to a group of people who would just stand still and stare at him in a daze was somewhat boring.

So Lupin noticed that the opponent's head seemed to move, and cast his eyes in a certain direction.Because he didn't know if the other party was looking at him, Lupin couldn't help but shrink his neck, hiding himself better in the shadows.

However, under the cover of darkness and fog, he still didn't feel much peace of mind.

"...What is he looking at?"

Just as the thought suddenly flashed in Lupin's mind, he suddenly heard the man speak again, this time his voice was obviously clearer and louder than before.

"Since it's here, why don't you come out and see you?"

what?After such a long distance, he was still wearing an Auror's invisibility suit and an alchemy prop that interfered with the exploration curse. Was he discovered so soon?

Thinking of Maca's various evaluations of Helbo, Lupin was secretly frightened, and planned to turn around and ran away.But before he could move, another figure suddenly walked out of the alley in the corner of the clearing.

"Halpo, return Muriel to me."

The cold voice spread softly from the figure, echoing leisurely in the clearing, but the dark wizards who were very close to him did not even look back at him.

Obviously, that was Martin who had experienced a thrilling battle before and finally survived inexplicably.

Hearbo, who stopped in front of the crowd, seemed to look at Martin, who was walking towards him, with great interest, before saying:

"It must be said that human willpower is indeed a very wonderful thing. It is indeed a thing worthy of praise that you can persist until now. But unfortunately, that girl is still very important to me. , So I can't give her to you yet."

As he was talking, Haierbo paused for a while, then chuckled indifferently.

"Of course, if you are willing to wait...Although you have rejected the future I gave you, but with your commendable persistence, I actually don't mind calling her... well, it's called'Mu Lil' right? I don't mind giving her back to you as a reward for admiring you."

Before he finished his words, before Martin could speak again, Haierbo spread his hands again:

"Well, as for death or alive... Although I guess you would want someone alive more, then I can't guarantee it."

"Sea, Er, Wave!"

To be honest, when Haierbo said these words, he really didn't mean to be provocative.After all, to him, this seemed to be a matter of course.

But on the other hand, those words fell into Martin's ears and naturally became extremely ridiculous.

"Give me back Muriel--"

Because just relying on the miss and guilt of Muriel, Martin held up and did not become crazy like the other apprentices, but because of his anger at Helbo, Martin was almost crazy.

On the roof of the building across the street, Lupin saw his figure suddenly rushing forward, the green killing curse arc was so strong that it was almost dazzling, and in a flash, it penetrated the fog and reached Haierbo's body.

However, his curse seemed to not even have the qualifications to wipe the corner of Helbo.

I saw the latter's figure swaying, the ultra-short-distance space movement speed was extremely fast, and even an afterimage appeared in that instant.A green arc of light passed through the shadow silently, and then fell to the ground, blowing up a mess of rubble and dust.

"Anger, since ancient times, has been a useless thing used by the weak to conceal themselves..."

Seeing Martin missed a hit and swung his stick again, Helbo was not at all annoyed.He just dodged the deadly green light that seemed to be cathartic easily, and said casually:

"But it must be admitted that I have only seen a few people who can thoroughly defeat and master anger in my life. Although they are weak, they are also strong, and everything cannot be generalized... Therefore, I can forgive you now. This kind of disrespectful and useless behavior."

"but--"

Suddenly, Lupin only saw the figure belonging to Helbo suddenly paused, then silently turned into a large area of ​​darkness, and completely enveloped another figure belonging to Martin.

Only a few seconds later, when the deep and terrifying darkness shrank again into a human form in the air, Martin had fallen to the ground motionless.

"died?"

Lupin didn't know--because Martin hadn't spoken loudly just now, he hadn't even really figured out the reason for this.

All he knew was that Martin was obviously not Helbo's opponent at all, and that this time he came out was simply dying.

However, it is also a wizard who has the courage to resist Helbo.

At this moment, he sincerely hopes that the other party can stand up again, whether it is for his persistence to continue fighting, or to turn around and flee knowing that he cannot be the enemy, as long as he is still alive, there is hope for everything.

Yes, if that Martin can escape, Lupin is even willing to take a great risk to try to meet the opponent-he still has a lot of magic potions given to him by Maca, maybe he will have a chance?Isn't it?

But after staring silently at the clearing and waiting for a few minutes, Lupin, who was hiding in the dark, shook his head in disappointment.

"Sure enough, is it dead?"

In these chaotic and perilous times, death is no longer a rare event... No, even when Voldemort was in trouble, wizards or Muggles were often killed.

But to be honest, even if Lupin had already witnessed many deaths, he didn't feel that he could get used to this feeling at all.

Slightly licking his dry lips, he thought of leaving here again-fighting Helbo is definitely impossible. He is different from that Martin, and he knows exactly how his strength is.

Sacrifice is okay, but meaningless sacrifice will obviously only add to the burden for other living people.

But just as Lupin took a step back, he wanted to retreat silently, to inform Maca of today’s information, together with the current incident, when he suddenly heard Haierbo in the clearing seemed to sigh softly. .

When Lu Ping lifted his eyes to look over there again, he found that the thick mist around the clearing, including the vicinity of Big Ben, actually began to flow slowly.

This was the first time Lupin discovered that the fog that filled London would flow.You know, before this, even if the Aurors used magic spells to drive a lot of gusts, there was no way to make these fog bombs half-divided!

Immediately, Lu Ping couldn't help but whisper to himself:

"This is... what happened?"

He was puzzled, but it was obvious that Helbo at this moment was undoubtedly more surprised than him.

This fog can be said to be caused by Haierbo, and few people know it. This is also the first step of the "Devil Summoning Technique".

Because of this, Haierbo was able to come and go freely in the fog where even Maca could not use space movement magic, and was not affected at all.

However, Haierbo, who is equivalent to the owner of the mist, did not expect the mist itself to flow by itself.

"It's like having life and self-will..."

Just as Helbo looked up at the slowly flowing fog that formed a huge vortex in the sky, Martin, who was lying on the ground, twitched his body suddenly.Then, I saw that he was actually standing up with his head down and arms hanging, shaking like a marionette.

Helbo, who was still tilting his neck, was aware of the changes around him, but he ignored it at all.

"Life and consciousness?" He murmured, "Oh, it turned out to be like this..."
