harry potter book of crimes

Almost every British wizard knows that through the window of the red brick department store called "Taotao Ltd." on the streets of London, you can reach the waiting hall of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, a famous magical hospital in the British wizarding world.

But when it comes to the floors above this old department store, not many people go back and pay attention.

In fact, in order to avoid the muggles coming and going in London, the windows upstairs are all enchanted. When it is daytime, the windows will automatically show the scene of people working busy inside, which makes

It looks like an office building that is rented year-round.

And if someone could find a way to take a look inside, they would immediately discover that this is simply an empty building that looks like it has been used for many years, but is empty inside.

But today, on the top floor of the vacant building that no one had entered in decades, there was a figure standing silently in the middle of the floor.

Obviously, there is nothing here. Looking around, there are only a few thick support pillars that are somewhat annoying.

But suddenly, the figure waved his hand, and the load-bearing pillars used to support the floor collapsed and shattered one after another, and then disappeared out of thin air.

But even though all the load-bearing columns are gone, the entire floor is still intact, as if they were never needed in the first place.

For a moment, this entire floor seemed extremely empty.

"Hope it's enough."

I just heard the figure muttering softly, and the next moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the middle of the empty floor, and spread in all directions in an instant.

In just the blink of an eye, the entire floor was illuminated.

It was only then that the figure standing in the middle was completely revealed as the light spread. There was no doubt that if it wasn't Maka, who else could it be?

It was at this moment that he fumbled around his waist and took out a thickly bound book from his pocket.

"Wow!"

I just flipped through it briefly, but Maka didn't look at it carefully. She quickly turned the book to the last page.

At this moment, you can see that there is nothing else on that page, just patches and patches of densely packed symbols and lines, which would definitely dazzle an ordinary person.

Oh no, actually it's not just "ordinary people", even Maka herself can't do much with this thing.

He only knows that this is a very special spherical three-dimensional rune array diagram, and it is the kind related to the rules of time. As for the rest, to be honest, he has always been unable to decipher it.

After all, although he had seen someone show it to him on the spot, he could still clearly see the way the person was wrapped in it, floating in circles and flickering.

Yes, and in the last moment, the shocking scene of the entire three-dimensional rune array collapsing and being destroyed together with the old man inside is also still fresh in my memory.

This book is the original version of "The Book of Sin".

He remembered clearly that this seemingly mysterious three-dimensional array was actually flawed, otherwise the "future self" at that time would not have died tragically in front of him.

That's right, it means "died tragically on the spot", and it's the kind of death where not even the scum is left.

Even now, Maka still suddenly thinks of opening this book. Naturally, it's not because she went crazy because of Delphi's confession and dared to try to use the rune pattern on the last page to forcefully break through the constraints of time rules.

But if he had to say it, he did capture a possibility from Delphi's words...

After staring at the extremely complicated runes and lines for a long time, Maka suddenly took out the staff and slammed it on the floor at her feet.

In an instant, he saw that the originally flat floor under his feet suddenly began to twist, and straight or flat lines suddenly started from the bottom of his staff and gradually spread to all sides.

At first glance, it seems as if there is a big invisible hand carving the floor, slowly but firmly.

It seems that he wants to copy the set of runes on the last page of the "Book of Sin" directly onto the floor in its original form... What on earth is he trying to do?

Time passed little by little, and the night outside the building continued to become darker and darker.

Kingsley and Sirius each led the Muggle army and wizard team to resist the enemy, Harry formed a rescue team with Charlie and Bill, and even Neville was protecting the Muggle Queen and Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace.

It can be said that many people are trying their best to resist to ensure that London will not be easily occupied by those crazy dark wizards brought out by Haierbo.

The sounds of battles were already happening all over the city that was sinking into darkness, but there was no sign of stopping.

However, Maka was still carving the rune pattern in silence, as if he was deaf to everything in the outside world.

But even so, no one would complain about why he didn't go out to help. It was obvious that as long as he took action, the fighting situation everywhere would be much better.

Because almost everyone knows very well that the real big trouble, in the final analysis, still lies with Haierbo. Now everyone is busy working on it, and even fighting with their lives is probably the most unfair thing in the whole situation.

Just an eye-catching corner.

And Maka obviously knows this better than anyone else.

…

About half an hour later, it was still on the top floor of the building, and most of the entire floor was covered with various intersecting lines.

Those lines seem chaotic on the surface, but if you look closely, you can find that there seems to be a hidden pattern in each one.

For example, the two most obvious rules among the large number of lines engraved in this pattern are: the outer ones are thicker, and the center ones are thinner; the thicker ones are more distorted, and the thinner ones are more regular.

And when these straight or curved lines are combined with each other, they form such a huge and chaotic circular array.

A few seconds later, Maka, who was holding a staff and looking at the book in her hand, suddenly looked away from the page. After carefully looking at the massive lines on the floor, she breathed a sigh of relief.

.

The accuracy of this array diagram was extremely high, and it was already very difficult for him to draw it. After more than half an hour, he had just roughly copied the line structure onto the floor, but it still made him feel uncomfortable.

I had to choose to relax and take a rest for a while.

"...Next, there are the regular runes and various ancient magic texts."

While Maka was muttering silently to herself, she took out a second equally thick book from the pocket on her waist.

Just by looking at the words "Book of Sin" on the cover, you can tell that this is undoubtedly the new version of the magic notebook that he re-wrote after he obtained the original "Book of Sin".

Then, he threw the new version of the "Book of Sin" in the air in front of him, controlled it to open automatically, and turned to his research records on various ancient magic texts.

The lines that frame the pattern are of course important, as they represent the frame part of how to use the runes to match and combine; but the part of the runes themselves that actually work is even more important.

Therefore, even though he had already memorized a large number of different types of ancient magic texts, he still had to compare them one by one in subsequent drawings, and no mistakes were allowed in each stroke.

Having made preparations for the next step in advance, he walked step by step to the wall while rubbing his sore temples, and leaned against the wall quite tiredly.

"Delphi, although your approach... is really unacceptable to me, I still want to thank you. Without your information, even though I might be able to deduce Herbo's conspiracy, I might never catch it.

To this glimmer of life.”

"Of course, the me who came from the future... I also want to thank you. Without your death, I would never have thought that this set of formations could actually be used in this way!"

Maka thought secretly in his heart, and then he put aside these thoughts for the time being, emptying his mind and forcing himself to recuperate.

There was no way, because all the refreshing medicines would affect the accuracy of mental power to a certain extent, so he could only rely on this most basic method to restore his energy.

But just ten minutes later, Maka, who had not fully recovered, straightened up again and walked quickly to the original position.

"continue!"

When he spread both books in front of him and the staff that had never left his hand was placed on the floor again, the first Phoenician rune he was most familiar with immediately slowly emerged from his feet.

Then, the second one, the third one, the fourth one...

One after another, the magic words formed imprints on specific locations around the area. Because of Maka's extraordinary familiarity, a strange sense of rhythm was created.

But the total number of magic runes and rule runes in the formation diagram amounted to tens of thousands. Even if he was not slow, it would still take several hours to complete the entire set.

Not to mention, the later the magic text is, the less familiar he will be, and the time spent on it will probably increase exponentially.

But even so, Maka still didn't hesitate at all. She only knew that she had to complete this formation diagram, no matter how much time it took.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and there were already more than a thousand magic writing scratches on the floor;

Unknowingly, an hour passed by in the same hurry. There were nearly a thousand more magic inscriptions around Maka, but the speed obviously did not slow down;

Unknowingly, a full two hours had passed, but the number of magic words on the floor was far from reaching four thousand, only gradually increasing to around 3,500.

But at this time, he was still far away from drawing the most difficult rule runes.

Obviously, it was because his understanding of the entire set of array diagrams was shallow that he took so much trouble to draw it. If he could analyze it in advance, the efficiency would be much faster.

However, this thing was something that the future Maka spent his whole life constructing. It is simply impossible to complete the analysis in a short time.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and use the stupidest method to reproduce it like this.
