Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 1399 Plague Curse

When Neville opened the quilt that had been changed to the wounded person, a rancid odor that was far more terrifying than the smell in the air came upon him.

Although it was actually considered mentally prepared, when that moment came, Ron and the four others couldn't help but take a step back.It's no wonder that Neville reminded them to let go before lifting the quilt.

However, the most prohibitive thing is not the stench.

"This"

After all, Tonks and Jones are both Aurors. When facing some terrible scenes, their ability to withstand is obviously much better than ordinary people.

Even so, when they saw the heavy gauze between the patient's waist and abdomen that had long been soaked with dark red blood, they couldn't help but frown.

It can be seen that the blood on the surface has already dried up, but the thick dark plasma is still flowing underneath.And between the gaps of the gauze, the black and red flesh and blood tissues like rotten tomatoes look like internal organs without the protection of the belly.

It must be said that this visual impact is absolutely very strong, just like Ron, who just glanced at it and didn't want to look at it anymore.

At this moment, he really felt a kind of nausea.

However, in the eyes of this long-time therapist, Derwent, this scene is obviously not a ulcer and not a rare symptom. It’s just that such a serious ulcer happened to a living person. It cannot be said to be common anymore.

"Mr. Derwent... look?"

Tonks stared at him for a long time, and then he managed to avert his gaze, and turned to look at the therapist she had specially invited over.

"Well," Derwent thought for a while, and then said, "The ulceration in the abdomen should be only a superficial symptom. The specific cause of the disease must be checked to know."

After that, he stretched out his hand and drew out the wand from the inside of the robe, and then, ignoring the stench that was still emitting from the injured area, he slightly covered his nose and squatted down.

"Prickly"

Seeing that the tip of the wand in his hand was lightly picked, the gauze that had been useless for a long time was immediately torn apart, exposing the huge wound under it almost completely.

"Mr. Longbottom, you used white fresh flavor for him, didn't you?"

Baixian Essence, a high-strength trauma healing agent, is so effective that even the severed limbs can be repaired on the spot in a few seconds. Of course, it only requires someone to help align the cross section.If it's crooked, the arm can't be used immediately, don't tell me, you have to chop and reattach your head.

"Yes," Neville replied immediately, "Maca provided a few for each of us. I saw that his abdomen was decayed too fast, so I gave him some time to pour it up."

"Fortunately," Derwent nodded immediately when he heard the words, "If you didn't have your fresh white essence, his abdominal cavity would have been completely empty by now!"

It is a pity that no matter how good the effect of Baixian essence is, there is only a simple wound healing effect.For this injured Auror's injury, it is natural to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and can barely maintain it from worsening.

Derwent was fascinated for a while looking at the ulcerated part where even his intestines were faintly visible. After thinking hard for a moment, he turned around suddenly, opened the suitcase he was carrying and hurriedly searched for it.

Soon, he was seen taking out a slender silver probe from the inside and piercing lightly into the most ulcerated part of the wound.

Needless to say, it was not an ordinary silver needle, but a magic probe made through alchemy that would react differently to abnormal magic.

Xu Ye felt something when he pierced the silver needle, and saw that the muscle on the patient's face suddenly twitched, but he didn't wake up.

Think about it, I'm all hurt like this, can I still wake up?

Devonte didn't pay attention to the patient's trivial reaction, and the next second, he pulled out the silver needle that had penetrated his abdominal cavity.When he saw that the surface of the silver needle stained with dark red plasma was abnormally lingering dark green smoke, his expression changed slightly.

"It's cursing magic, the type should be... the plague!"

"curse?"

Ron, who was covering his mouth and holding on to the sidelines, was stunned when he heard this word. He felt as if he had grasped something, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find any clues for a while.

At the same time, Neville, who was also standing on the side, frowned immediately and his expression changed slightly:

"Sir, in other words, is it infectious?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case," Derwent said, his face also looked a little ugly, "and in history, except for a few more special cases, other plagues have suffered heavy casualties. "

He couldn't help but feel heavy, because it was equivalent to saying that all of them might have been infected with this plague.It's just because there may be an incubation period, so I don't feel uncomfortable right away, nothing more.

However, it is already infected if it is going to be infected, and it is useless for them to panic.

So not to mention Derwent and Neville, even Ron, after realizing that he was very likely to have been infected, did not show a very exaggerated panic.

"Mr. Derwent, can this be cured?"

This time Tonks asked, her expression is also very bad now, and her face is slightly pale.After all, no matter who it is, when they learn that they may be sick, they are often unable to remain calm.

Derwent hesitated after hearing Tonks' question, and he finally shook his head slightly.

"Treatment can definitely be cured, that is, the difference in time. But the problem is how to stop its spread. This is the most important issue at present."

As for these people, they are all already infected with the plague curse, so what else to care about?

"What kind of plague is this? More detailed inspection and targeted research are needed. No conclusion can be drawn for a while. Mr. Longbottom, think of a way to send my inspection results to St Mungo's camp. Remember Never use creatures such as owls to deliver letters."

"Ok."

When Neville heard it, he nodded immediately, and then drew out his wand decisively.

"Hushen Guard"

Accompanied by the inaudible sound of cursing, he saw a large amount of silvery white mist spewing from the tip of his staff.Immediately afterwards, a huge silver lion stepped out in a majestic posture and appeared in the aisle in the middle of the church.

"Go, find Maca!"

Before he finished his words, he saw the lion nodding silently, and then turned into a cloud of light and flew all the way across the church hall, dragging a long tail away from the window.
