Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"The movement speed of the mist has become faster?"

The night wind roared, swaying the canopy of the roadside trees, and the branches twitched like a whip, which made people feel that they all possessed their own will like the beating willow in Hogwarts.

It must be said that the gusts of strong wind suddenly rose at this moment, which is indeed somewhat suspicious.

But obviously, no matter how strong the wind is, it has nothing to do with the movement of the fog ahead.If the arrival of the strong wind can be said to be accidental, then the accelerated movement of the fog...maybe to some extent it is a kind of "man-made" necessity.

"Hailbo, you are finally here."

Suddenly, Maca stood still slightly in the middle of the road, as the accelerating gray fog "snapped" towards him like a wall, and a group of living corpses that were denser than the periphery immediately followed.

For a moment, his ears were full of messy footsteps.

However, as if they were confirming Maca’s words, the living corpses who were still attacking him just now seemed to be blind collectively, all ignoring his existence. Ran past him.

If no one gave them the latest mandatory order, it would certainly not suddenly become like this.

At the same time, Maca also stopped attacking at will, letting those living corpses pass by in a hurry.His gaze has been on the back of the army of living corpses that is running.

At this moment, the group of living corpses is about 8 miles away from downtown Canterbury.

...

"Miss Granger...I'm sorry, and...thank you!"

It was obviously not an easy task for Hermione to retreat with several wounded who could not withstand the movement of space.Fortunately, besides her, several other volunteers and the Auror sent to her by Lupin finally decided to stay and help her transport the injured in the split accident.

It is a pity that there are only two flying broomsticks, which is not enough to make all of them return to Spiral Town quickly.For this reason, Hermione could only allow some people to retreat first, while she and another volunteer drove on the ground with the remaining two wounded.

The effectiveness of the Levitating Charm made their actions not too difficult, but there was still a distance between the town of Faversham and the city of Canterbury.

"No thanks, after all, every life is precious!" Hermione said as she walked, "Besides, don't worry too much! Helix Town will definitely send someone to pick us up after learning about our situation. !"

"Miss Granger is right," the Auror added after hearing the sound. "Besides, Canterbury to Faversham has no fork in the road. They can meet us as soon as they look for it along the way."

However, just as the two spoke to appease everyone, one of the wounded, who was carried by the Levitating Curse, suddenly stopped.Then, I saw her looking towards Faversham Town where everyone had just left, and said in a daze:

"Do you think...the fog behind it seems to be approaching much faster?"

"what?"

After this reminder, everyone looked back.However, I saw that the large shadow outline that represented the fog was being enlarged little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye in everyone's field of vision, like a huge mouth that would swallow the entire world, pressing straight here.

Accompanied by the more and more powerful night wind, and the particularly deep night because of the attack of the clouds, one can not help but feel that the chest feels stuffy.

"Quick! Run!"

As far as the current intelligence on all kinds of alienated living corpses is concerned, except for those flying individuals, other types should not be able to keep up with the drifting speed of the mist right now.But even if the flying species weren't actually followed, probably no one would be willing to be swallowed by the strange mist.

"Wait! Don't run to the side! It's too late to cover the entire city of London with fog."

Seeing that there was a moment of urgency, a volunteer seemed to have the idea to run sideways out of the area that the fog was about to cover, and Hermione suddenly shouted at the other party.

But I don't know whether it was because of the wind, or the other party was too nervous to hear it. Only seeing the volunteer jumped off the road and jumped into the field beside the road, and ran to the north quickly.

Seeing this, Hermione was thinking about jumping down and chasing him back, but the Auror who was following her grabbed her arms.

"If you chase it, only one more person will be swallowed by the mist!"

Lupin wanted him to follow Hermione, but it wasn't for him to protect everyone in the volunteer team. Even if that was the case, he definitely couldn't do it.His task was to protect Hermione alone.

It's just...Of course, if it's within the scope of ability, it is natural to save one more person as much as possible.

"Miss Granger, go!"

He controlled the strength of the Levitating Charm, and while carrying an injured patient, he ran Hermione forward.

Hermione was pulled by his arm, pursed her mouth, and turned towards the back who was running farther and farther in the field, until her figure was completely covered by the night, and then she turned her head back again.

"Miss Granger, there is no other way. No one will blame you!" Another volunteer who followed immediately comforted.

But Hermione first broke away from the Auror's palm slightly, and speeded up the pace as if she had given up, but then shook her head vigorously.

"This is not something that others will blame!"

However, before Hermione’s depressed mood recovered a bit, they realized after a while that maybe the result of Hermione’s chasing and not chasing would be the same. The mist that struck like a landslide and tsunami was faster than they thought. Much faster!

"Is it still too late?"

Before the words were over, when Hermione and others looked back again, they found that the mist had chased them not far behind them.But after everyone ran a few more steps, the vision suddenly dimmed in silence.

This is undoubtedly a long-lost feeling, although no one will miss the situation of being shrouded in endless fog.

"Fluorescence flickers!"

The volunteer waved his magic wand in an attempt to create some light, but in the blink of an eye, the tip of the wand that had just lit up immediately went out, even faster than when he was in London.

Needless to say, this mysterious and strange mist is obviously constantly changing...just like the living corpses that have undergone various alienation.

"The direction of the road remains the same, keep running! Don't stop!"

As Hermione said just now, the range of fog enveloping the entire London is so large that it will not be able to drift over in a short while.

What's more, what danger awaits them in this mist is still unknown.

"what"

Suddenly, a sorrowful scream came from the direction where the previous volunteer had fled.
