"Miss Lovegood, open the secret passage! Everyone is already here..."

In the square, Lu Ping was standing among the gathered refugees, raising his neck and shouting at the mercury statue.

Luna in the statue was currently controlling two layers of magic shields. When she heard Lupine's voice, she paused for a moment, then lowered her head and glanced down.

"Lupin...did you say something just now?" Luna's voice came from the mercury statue, "I'm a little busy at the moment, and...to be honest, I feel like there are bugs in my head, they are

It's buzzing so I can't hear what you're saying."

When Lupine was talking to Luna, Maka was actually standing among the surrounding crowd of refugees. When Luna said this, he immediately realized that supporting two layers of magic shields at the same time was still a heavy burden for her.

.

But just when Maka was thinking about whether she should do something secretly for this, suddenly, a roar suddenly sounded from the entrance of the town, surprising almost everyone.

"Huh?" Maka heard the sound and immediately looked back, "Oh, has the first layer of shield been broken by that guy?"

Almost at the same time, Luna in the mercury statue also exclaimed softly. But then, she lowered her head and said happily:

"Okay! Those annoying harassing flies have flown away... Lupin, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"

"I……"

Lu Ping was startled, then looked at the cracked and broken outer shield in the sky, and then said loudly:

"I mean, open the secret passage!"

"Oh, of course, no problem." Luna nodded immediately, but then looked at the crowded square and said, "But I think you have to move back a little further, unless... you enter the secret

Do you want to use the word 'roll' when speaking?"

It must be said that this secret passage underground in Spiral Town is indeed very large. Especially its entrance, the original designer made it particularly spacious in order to avoid crowding during an emergency retreat.

Luna waited for everyone to retreat to the outside of the square, then raised her hand and pointed to the ground.

The next moment, most of the floor tiles on the square began to move, falling one after another, and soon a huge, spiraling downward staircase was formed.

Obviously, the designer really carried out the name "Spiral Town" to the end, and even the entrance to the secret passage was not missed.

"Lupin, everyone can go down!"

After hearing what Luna said, Lupine immediately waved his hand and directed the refugees to step onto the seemingly deep stairs one by one.

Upon seeing this, Maka immediately shrank to the back of the crowd without leaving a trace, and quietly disappeared again.

After a while, after Lupine, Neville, Hermione and others followed the team, Maka got behind the mercury statue.

"Oh, who?...Don't, don't come in...Ouch! Why are you pulling out my hair?"

…

"Avada Kedavra"

A green light flashed across the sky above Spiral Town, and Haierbo jumped from the top of the tallest tower in the town, and then crashed heavily into the ground.

After a splash of mud and rocks, he covered the wounds in his chest and abdomen again and quickly climbed out of the hole he had made, frowning and growling in annoyance.

"McLean...although you are not as smart as Rowena back then, you are obviously more difficult to deal with than her! Because at least she still has a boring self-esteem that restricts her actions, but you don't."

Haierbo's words are naturally referring to Maka's plan, which involves deception, sneak attacks, and adding insult to injury. From his point of view, it is indeed a series of destructive means, which can be as severe as a beating.

The posture of drowned dog.

If it weren't for Maka's current strength, even if she tried her best to destroy this demonic body, Haierbo would probably have died again today.

Of course, Haierbo spent a lot of time hiding in Tibet just to get this demon's body. So judging from the results, he was still the successful party after all.

"Oh! What a 'despicable' little guy."

The moment he said these words, the anger on Haierbo's face suddenly disappeared, and then a subtle smile appeared instead.

"You know what? I really appreciate you more and more...McLean."

People like Haierbo...oh, okay! Let's just consider him as a person for now! People like him obviously don't have the so-called "sense of identity" in their hearts.

When encountering someone who is quite similar to some parts of themselves, ordinary people may think of it as a confidant, but Haierbo's first thought must be to destroy the other person.

There is only one "despicable Herbo" in the world, and he doesn't want another "despicable McClain" to appear, not at all!

After all, he desires to control death and move toward "real immortality" and does not need any successor. The better the other party is, the more he will destroy it, and there will be no second choice.

Haierbo was clutching the wound on his chest and muttering, but suddenly, he raised his head and glanced towards the central square of Spiral Town.

"Okay, okay... then MacLean, let me see if you can come up with so many annoying little tricks when you are driven crazy!"

He smiled and said coldly:

"Despicable person, the most indispensable thing is 'calmness'. When you see that girl's body, I hope the cooling rules you have mastered can help you cool down your heated brain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haierbo moved his feet and immediately ran forward. Perhaps due to the impact of the injury and the fact that most of his magic power was extracted, the speed was not as fast as expected, but it was enough to make him move forward like a burst.

It swept towards the square like a hurricane.

And when Haierbo reached the edge of the square, his high-speed moving figure suddenly paused and then stopped.

"Um?"

In the square, Delphi, who had just ran over from the observation room, suddenly felt something was wrong, which made her immediately turn around and look this way.

"Herbo."

To be honest, Delphi had already become a pure Muggle at this moment. Logically speaking, it was impossible to see Helbo, who had completely become a "special" magical creature.

In other words, at the moment, she was completely relying on her own intuition and said the name semi-tentatively.

However, it may be precisely because Delphi has completely turned into a Muggle that even Herbo was suddenly frightened.

The summoning wizard who he had fought against had now turned into such an ordinary person who had not even awakened his magic power. This made Haierpo doubtful of his own judgment.

"Oh," he looked at Delphi and said slowly, "So it's you."
