When Maka asked about the plague curse on the second floor, but did not get the answer he wanted, it only took two or three minutes at most before he jumped down from the broken stairs alone.

.

As for what happened upstairs after that, no one knows.

Well, no one knows for sure at least for the time being.

"Well?"

As soon as he landed, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned his head and glanced into the pile of rocks. And it was this glance that finally allowed him to see clearly who the figure lying on the floor was.

.

"Is it...Ron?"

Immediately, he subconsciously checked around, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he walked over the bricks and stones on the ground.

On weekdays, Ron is easy to recognize, even from his back. In other words, the Weasleys are all easy to recognize.

Because they all have the iconic red hair.

But now, because Ron's head had just experienced the baptism of an explosion and had already turned into a scorched black mass, Maka had not been able to tell it immediately when she looked at it from a distance.

It wasn't until she got closer and saw the wand that fell in her hand that Maka finally realized who this person who seemed to have no signs of life was.

The next moment, Maka leaned over and turned the other person over with a slight frown.

"..."

Maka looked at the face whose true identity could no longer be recognized, and squatted next to it and stopped. Looking at his expressionless face, she didn't know what he was thinking.

But just at this moment, he suddenly felt a tightening in his heart, as if something was tugging deep in his soul.

"hiss"

He gritted his teeth, took a slight breath, then stood up, turned his head and looked behind him.

"...Helbo."

…

Ron didn't know when he lost consciousness, nor when he regained consciousness.

All he knew was that he felt pain all over his body.

Especially between the whole head and neck, the burning pain was mixed with an itch that went deep into the bone marrow for some reason.

However, he couldn't move at all, he couldn't even raise his eyelids, as if he had lost control of his body.

And just a few minutes passed like this... Well, maybe ten minutes, maybe even half an hour. Because in the unparalleled pain and itching, he could no longer make a more accurate judgment on the time.

However, just after a while, a very vague conversation suddenly sounded in his ears, which had been unable to hear anything at first.

Who is nearby? One...no, two people!

"Come and save me! No matter who it is, come and help me! This kind of pain and itching... is simply not something people can bear. It's really too painful."

He kept shouting mentally, but could not speak.

In fact, it's just that he can't speak. But for some reason, he can't even breathe, he can't even feel his heartbeat, but he still seems to be alive. The reason why he uses the word "seemingly" is just because even he

I am not sure whether I am still alive or not.

"Yes, I remember...I fell down the collapsed stairs, and then...then I was directly hit in the head by an explosion spell from the dark wizard?"

The two hazy conversations were still echoing in his ears. Because he could barely hear them clearly, he didn't bother to listen anymore. And because of the unbearable pain, he tried to find something to think about.

I hope to distract myself and relieve the pain.

But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Wait, so I am indeed dead?"

No one can catch an explosive spell with their face without any defense, not even someone as strong as Maka. So logically speaking, there is no possibility for him to survive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then he suddenly thought again:

"Then...since I can still regain consciousness, does it mean that I will become a ghost like 'Nearly Headless Nick'? Well, I forgot to ask him, the process of becoming a ghost is so painful

?"

However, just as he was thinking wildly, the pain in his head seemed to have gradually subsided a lot unknowingly. Unfortunately, the terrible itching still continued, and after the pain subsided, it became worse.

It got even more difficult.

But at the same time, Ron suddenly discovered that the conversation lingering in his ears had changed from hazy to clear. Not long after, he finally heard a sentence clearly:

"...We can't hold on any longer here. Go back immediately and take at least one person away. As for who to choose to take away, you must know better than me."

"'Can't hold on'? 'Take at least one person away'? Who is this person speaking? Who is talking to him? What does this mean?"

To be honest, Ron heard that sentence clearly. But the problem was that he heard every word clearly, but when the words were put together to form a sentence, he couldn't understand it at all.

But there was no need to rush, because the next moment, he heard another person's voice.

"It's not difficult to take someone away, but... are you sure you want me to give up everything in front of me and leave from here?" the voice said, "There is no way to delay it for a while longer?"

Ron listened silently, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong. After a moment of careful analysis, he finally understood where the "something wrong" in his heart came from.

"That's Maka! It's Maka's voice, absolutely right!"

Once this idea emerged in his mind, the more Ron listened, the more he felt that his judgment was accurate. But who was Maka talking to? Who did the other party want him to take away?

Just as his heart was gradually filled with doubts, the conversation continued:

"No, I can't delay it much longer. Before I truly control this body, if that guy wants to leave, I can't stop him."

"I understand, I will go back to the camp to do it after I finish talking to you!" Namaka's voice said immediately, "Then, Haierbo, do you have anything else to say?"

Haierbo? Why... no, it should be "how is it possible"?

From this conversation between the two, no matter how stupid Ron is, he can still hear the harmony in it. And... is there any "deal" between the two of them?

However, Ron was so confused that he couldn't even open his eyes, so naturally it was impossible to confirm the identity of the two.

"This... not only myself, but also the conversation between Maka and Haierbo, what is going on?"
