"I think I understand what the captain is thinking... This deceased man made himself like this by himself!"

When Sirius went over alone to pick up the suitcase on the back of the living corpse, one of the older Aurors suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment and understood the rather unusual sight in front of him.

"I think he must have discovered, like us before, that living corpses also need various senses to feel the surrounding situation. But if you are deaf or blind, you will no longer be easily affected by the things around you.

We can only keep moving forward in one direction, and then move forward..."

When another team member on the side heard this, he immediately took over and said:

"So after knowing that he might not be able to get here alive, he blinded himself and deafened his ears? But this is too...just for that suitcase? What treasures are there that are worthy of him?

Even if you try hard to hurt yourself before you die, do you want to take him out?"

Just when several teammates were stunned and subconsciously focused their attention on Sirius, the latter had just taken off the suitcase tied with a cloth strip behind his back.

"Everyone, get out of the way."

Sirius turned around, placed the box gently on the ground, and then cautiously took two steps back.

Nowadays, people who are not careful enough in their actions are probably dead, and those who are alive and active in and around London are obviously people who never dare to be careless in anything they do.

After all the teammates around him stepped back a little, he took out his wand and waved backhand at the suitcase.

"Crack."

The lock on the box opened in response, and the box was opened accordingly, revealing a dark hole. This box had no disguise, and it was obvious at a glance that the traceless stretching spell had been cast on the inside.

However, there was no movement there, which made people a little afraid to go up and check easily.

Just as all the team members were exchanging glances with each other and showing a slight hesitation, Sirius walked over alone with his wand half raised, and peeked into the box.

"Come here! They are two children!"

…

The two surviving little boys of the Witte family were escorted back to Spiral Town by Sirius and two team members, and with them was the living corpse who was strictly controlled.

When they went to the lobby of the new Ministry of Magic building near the central square of Spiral Town, they saw Maka and Lupine at the magic sand table in the middle of the hall, pointing and talking to the miniature version of Spiral Town on the sand table.

"Maka, Lupin, come and take a look at this"

Sirius obviously didn't have the habit of talking nonsense. As soon as he came in, he pulled over the two children who were following him and explained the whole story of discovering them.

While Maka listened, he glanced at the living corpse behind him controlled by two Aurors. But it was this look that made him stunned.

"This is……"

"Huh?" Sirius paused, then hurriedly said, "What, Maka... do you know him?"

"We know him," Maccar nodded slightly. "To be precise, I knew him when he was still alive. This is Mr. Norman Witt, Charlotte's father."

"Charlotte?"

Sirius was not familiar with Maka's senior sister, but Lupine had been a professor at Hogwarts. Hearing Maka mention it, he was startled for a moment, and then immediately asked:

"Is 'that' Charlotte McGonagall's assistant?"

Maka pursed her lips slightly and rubbed her forehead. After a somewhat annoyed pause, she nodded again.

"Yes," he mused, obviously very troubled by this fact, "If she finds out, she will definitely be very painful... Well, with her temperament, she will probably blame herself."

While thinking about it, Maka suddenly turned her head and looked at the two children standing next to Sirius.

"You just said that Mr. Witte did this to send them out of London? If that's true, I think"

"Maka," before he finished speaking, Lupine couldn't help but interrupt, "There's no need to say it so bluntly, right?"

"Huh?" Maka paused for a moment, but then quickly shook her head, "Oh, it's okay... Just look at their looks, they obviously understand what is going on, don't they?"

Just as Maka said, although the two children had been taken out of the suitcase by Sirius, they remained silent and did not say a word.

Maybe the younger one is a little better, at least he doesn't have the same dull eyes as the older one, as if everything in this world is no longer important.

Maka stared at them, and then continued what she just said:

"I think the Werther family is finished, and in order to continue the family's bloodline, they let Charlotte's father escape secretly with these two children. So, you can say that"

As he spoke, he paused again and then said:

"They are obviously the 'last hope' of the Witte family."

After hearing what Maka said, Lupine looked at him as if he was confused, and then took back all the words he had just wanted to say to enlighten the two children.

Then, Maka turned her head again, looked at Lupine and continued:

"It's a pity that I think these two children can't bear such a heavy responsibility. Their elders have sacrificed their lives in order to send them to us, but they can only stand there in a daze.

Stand here."

"Maka, they are just children."

It must be said that if Lupine can continue to teach at Hogwarts, he will definitely be a very good and popular teacher.

He obviously realized why Maka said that, so he couldn't help but cooperate with Maka, and timely said something that sounded like an explanation to the two children.

Maka also shrugged and smiled at him.

"Really?" he said, "But... now is not the past, the world is no longer peaceful and leisurely... Those terrible and ruthless enemies will not let them go just because they are children. But... that's right! They

They are still just children, maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh on them.”

When he said this, the younger child had obviously changed, and seemed to be a little unhappy and wanted to argue. However, his brother still looked frustrated, with only a pair of eyes filled with laughter.

, seems to be slowly getting a little more angry.

"shut up!"

Finally, the little one couldn't help it anymore and suddenly said to Maka:

"What do you know? You don't know anything at all, so what qualifications do you have to say that! Brother, he is watching his mother helplessly."

"Eden, stop talking."

Suddenly, the older boy grabbed his younger brother.
