To be honest, if Maka wanted to, he could also create a lot of "thugs" like Haierbo to support himself... No, he could even create a greater momentum than Haierbo.

After all, one of the main directions of his research is the Monument of Bewitchment, and the characteristic of "arrogance" is obviously more suitable for controlling his subordinates and establishing absolute power.

If nothing else, just looking at how Voldemort, who could not even understand the rules of the soul, could create a group of so-called "Black Death Apostles" in the past, you can know what Maka can do now.

However, Maka has never been a ruthless dark wizard. Haierbo can treat human life so unscrupulously, but he cannot do it.

"After all, am I still not 'bad' enough?"

When a guy who thinks he is "not a good person" says something like this to himself, it can only be regarded as a kind of self-deprecation.

Maka looked at Thomas, who was caught in a self-conflict because of his first murder, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed secretly.

Although if he hadn't acted behind the scenes, this man would have died in that alley long ago. But using others as experimental subjects like this and inducing them to endure these hardships will still make him feel a little guilty.

Probably, Dumbledore had a similar mood to him back then and made a series of preparations, right?

Including using the hands of the Scamander brothers to deal with Grindelwald, and later trying to use the hands of Harry and Snape to deal with Voldemort... Is there such an apology hidden in Dumbledore's heart?

Of course, Maka suddenly felt that what she was doing now was probably more "bad" than Dumbledore back then, right? In any case, they had tempered the younger generation, but the Thomas in front of him had always been

It will just be an "experiment".

"Come on," Maka looked at Thomas and said to herself secretly, "try harder! If you can persist through this last...well, more than an hour, then I will give you this power for free.

.”

At the very least, what Thomas longs for is to change his mediocre self in the past.

If Maka can get what he wants through this test, he doesn't mind fulfilling the other party's wishes. This is considered to be the generous reward the other party can get after unconsciously participating in this test.

Already.

…

As for the apology deep in Maka's heart, Thomas, as the person involved, knew nothing about it. Not only did he not know what happened to him to gain such unexpected strength, but he also didn't know what he had experienced.

To some extent, these things are no accident.

Suddenly, while he was immersed in panic about killing someone, he heard a voice. It was the Muggle woman who had been muttering "kill him" since just now, still muttering in a daze.

"Ma'am...ma'am?"

Thomas, who had just come back to his senses, barely stopped his desire to vomit, turned around and returned to the young woman's side, reaching out his hand to gently pat her shoulder.

After finding that the other party still had no response to his touch, he had to carefully let the other party float, and then hurriedly walked to the other side of the street.

He had to send this woman to St. Mungo's as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he still hadn't figured out where he was, let alone found the way to St. Mungo's.

So a moment later, Thomas, who was trotting along the street for a while, suddenly heard a noise and noise coming from a certain direction in the block. Some slight shouts were mixed with various collisions and noises.

During the explosion, it sounded chaotic.

Needless to say, there must have been a battle, and it sounded quite large.

When Thomas heard this, his expression changed drastically, he immediately stopped moving forward, and hurriedly took the woman away quietly in the opposite direction from where the movement came from.

Even with such strength, when encountering this kind of thing, his first reaction is to run away first. He doesn't know why he went crazy when he heard the Muggle woman calling for help.

Suddenly, he ran to save people!

However, this time, Maka, who was hiding in the dark, didn't even need to guide her.

Thomas led the men and ran along the branch road. Not long after, a dull explosion suddenly sounded from the building next to him. Immediately afterwards, the brick wall was broken through by a powerful attack, and then there was a

A figure with dark eyes jumped out from inside.

"What?"

As Thomas hurriedly stepped back, he saw the figure turn around instantly and run quickly along the small street to the other end.

Then, another person chased out of the hole in the wall that had just been broken.

For an instant, Thomas and the other person glanced at each other subconsciously. This was a young wizard, at most about the same age as he was when he graduated from Hogwarts, but he saw something in the other person's eyes.

Firmness and confidence that he does not have.

The two parties only looked at each other for a moment. Thomas saw that the other party glanced at himself, then glanced at the Muggle woman behind him, and then nodded hurriedly in this direction.

"Sir, it's very dangerous here, find a place to hide!"

After hearing the young wizard's warning, he turned around and chased in the direction where the black-eyed wizard had left, at a terrifyingly fast speed.

"boom!"

Not long after, Thomas heard another sudden roar in that direction. He was so startled that he quickly turned around and tried to leave.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt something huge passing by at high speed above his head, whistling and flying over there.

"What was that... just now?"

After all, it's a foggy night now, and you can't see anything when you look up.

But as the saying goes, the unknown is often the scariest thing. Nowadays, this city is already full of crises. Thomas was even more frightened by such a sudden surprise, as if everything around him hid a fatal threat.

Hide! Didn’t that young guy who looks very powerful say that?

Looking around, Thomas simply took the Muggle woman floating behind him and dived into the hole in the wall that had just been knocked open. They had already been here before, and they must not come again, right?

As soon as he got in, Thomas discovered that this place might be the back chef of a Muggle restaurant. There was no one inside at the moment. Of course, since the two people had fought here before, at a glance, there was a hazy scene.

messy.

With the cover, Thomas finally felt a little sense of security. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly placed the Muggle woman behind him on an old sofa that was not very clean, and then he seemed to have lost his strength.

He felt numb, his hands and feet were weak and he sat on the armchair next to him.

He had naturally been frightened all the way here just now, and now he felt really exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, this Muggle lady still needs to receive treatment as soon as possible. It is obvious that he cannot stay here too long unless he intends to abandon this poor woman who was finally saved half-way.

Thomas sat on a chair, listening to the sounds coming from outside, far or near, as if there was never any peace.

"...First...Mr."

Thomas, who was worrying about when to go out and when to go home, suddenly heard a slight call from the woman on the sofa. After being stunned for a moment, Thomas raised his head and looked to his side.

passed.

Immediately, he noticed that the lady seemed to have finally woken up a little, and was staring at him in a daze.

"Ma'am, are you awake? Are you okay?"

"Sir," the young Muggle woman looked at him and said in a daze, "you... thank you for saving me."

Even though her consciousness was still not clear, she had recovered somewhat, and the most important thing was that she no longer kept chanting the words "kill him" as she did at first.

"No, don't thank me, I just happened to be passing by." Thomas shook his head quickly, "What's more, I couldn't make it in time... Uh, no, it's nothing."

Although she subconsciously wanted to say that she couldn't save her husband and children in time, she finally calmed down a little now. Even though Thomas' emotional intelligence was a bit low, he understood that it was best not to talk nonsense to stimulate the other party at this moment.

"Anyway, you should lie down and take a rest...you know, it's still very dangerous outside."

However, although he was able to avoid certain topics that could not be discussed, the woman still asked quietly after a moment of hesitation:

"Sir, when you took me away, my mind seemed not very clear, and now I can't remember anything clearly. Can you tell me, is my husband... dead?"

Yes, before leaving, Thomas noticed that the dying Muggle man lying on the ground had already breathed his last before his eyes.

But in front of this miserable-looking lady, he still couldn't say anything.

However, just this period of silence can make the other party realize what the answer is. Soon, he saw that she also gradually pursed her lips, tilted her head to the side with her eyes gloomy.

"I understand," after a long time, the other party said with great difficulty, "Anyway, thank you, sir."

When an ordinary Muggle doesn't even care about those wonderful and terrible curses, it means that her heart has long been silenced by the death of her family members.

Not to mention magic and wizards, even if the devil suddenly appeared in front of her, she would probably only think about whether she could use her soul to exchange for the return of her relatives.

So, in the back kitchen of this Muggle restaurant, the two of them fell silent. Only the constant noise outside was still gently echoing in the ears, making people feel very bored.

Suddenly, there was a sudden explosion on the roof, shaking down a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough cough..."
