harry potter book of crimes

What was supposed to happen still happened, nothing changed, everything happened again.

Delphi, who became a Muggle, did indeed suppress Halber in a short period of time. But who is Halber? Ever since he made the Devouring Mirror into his own Horcrux, he probably has never been afraid of anything.

Even when Rowena and Salazar teamed up to suppress him under the Monument of Bewitchment, he was just not particularly angry because he knew that he would never die because of being sealed.

Therefore, not to mention the little girl standing in front of him, making him feel a little doubtful at most.

After a tentative conversation, Haierbo had walked step by step in front of Delphi, but the other party remained motionless.

"Aren't you going to take action?"

He didn't hide anything, he just covered the wound on his chest with one hand and stared at Delphi again, and then said impatiently:

"If you don't want to take action, then get out of the way! It's not you I'm looking for."

As soon as he said these words, Haierbo raised his dark, muscled arm and swept it towards Delphi's waist.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a clearly audible sound of bones breaking, the latter immediately flew out, and even after landing on the ground, it slid far away, and barely stopped until it crashed into a bench at the edge of the square.

And just as Helbo himself said just now, even though he knew that Delphi did not die immediately, he did not make up for it. Because, although the person he was looking for was indeed a girl, it was not this girl.

"Your name is Lovegood, right? Oh, now I really want to know what McClane will look like after seeing your body..."

Haierbo looked at the mercury statue in front of him. As he spoke, he raised his right hand again, and even made his palm into a fist.

But as he spoke, the action of accumulating punches suddenly paused, and then a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"...cunning boy..."

Before he finished speaking, Haierbo finally punched out. The next second, the entire statue exploded instantly, and a large amount of mercury mixed with scarlet plasma scattered all over the ground.

However

"It's fake again."

Haierbo immediately threw the corpse that was pierced by his punch aside. The powerful impact caused by the punch had already made the corpse as broken as a rotten sack.

But Haierbo had already noticed before he punched that it was not "Lovegood" at all, just a fake that exuded the same magic wave.

Because Haierbo soon discovered that the soul in that body not only did not belong to the girl named "Lovegood", but was even incomplete.

Yes, just like those living corpses that were infiltrated by the devil's breath and revived.

"but……"

After punching hard and smashing the mercury statue together, Haierbo, who had somewhat vented his anger, couldn't help lowering his head and glanced at the rag bag-like body on the ground.

It can be seen that among the large amounts of blood, those strands of golden hair are still as dazzling as ever.

"Even his appearance has been tampered with...Does that boy really want to hide this from me?"

Other Haierbo can figure it out, just like Maka replacing Luna inside with a corpse obtained from the battlefield. This is naturally because Maka wants to protect that girl.

However, as the holder of the "Pride" rune, there is no way Maka would forget Haierbo's in-depth research on the rules of the soul.

Only this point made Haierbo suddenly feel that it didn't make sense.

But... of course, Maka would not try to deceive Haierbo with such a small trick. The person he wanted to deceive was himself from the beginning.

"snort."

Haierbo, who didn't want to understand what kind of "conspiracy" was hidden here, immediately stopped thinking about it. He saw him take two steps back, then raised his hands, clasped them together, and beat him heavily.

On the ground of the square.

"boom!"

For a moment, the masonry and soil flew up as if they had been exploded by explosives. He put it down for a while before he could figure it out. He had already sensed that there was a magic source moving underground.

Since the one in front of me is fake, then the real one... I'm afraid it's down there, isn't it?

After all, although the two "survivors" were used as spies, he even fell into a trap. But not long ago, that Lovegood was still waiting outside the observation room, which was always unpleasant.

It would be wrong.

In this underground space that cannot be apparated and has only one exit...

"It won't just disappear into thin air!"

While Haierbo was thinking this, he quickly jumped into the hole he made and dug deep underground quickly.

…

"Oh! Miss Lovegood, you are finally here?"

In the spacious secret passage deep underground, Maka still maintained the appearance of the volunteer he played, leaning against the wall of the secret passage, waiting for Luna's arrival.

He had already told Luna that after the second layer of magic shield was breached, he would immediately give up and choose to retreat. Of course, he said this in the name of "Mr. McClain".

At this moment, when she sensed the increasingly powerful fluctuations of magic power restored by Haierbo above her head, Luna finally emerged from the darkness in the direction of the entrance of the secret passage unharmed.

"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?" Luna glanced at Maka from side to side, then raised her head and glanced at the top of her head, "Well, it's really scary up there!"

"you do not say!"

Maka nodded, then waved her hand and said:

"Miss Lovegood, let's leave quickly! I promised Mr. MacLean that I will send you to the latest refuge point. Hurry, let's go!"

While urging her continuously, Maka also pulled her, and then the two of them immediately ran towards the end of the secret passage.

To be honest, this secret passage is very long, and can even reach as far as the coastline, with a total length of more than ten miles.

However, this time, except for some of the injured who were unable to move through Apparition, others only needed to run out of Spiral Town and go directly to the evacuation point near Calais, France, temporarily out of danger.

However, just as Maka and Luna were running away, Haierbo had already penetrated into the ground. Even though he did not take the stairs, his speed did not seem to be slow at all, as if he would enter the secret passage from behind at any time.

Breaking in everywhere.

The sound of footsteps was mixed with the sound of breathing that was getting heavier and heavier, still unable to cover up the rumbling sound of digging earth that was approaching behind her, but Maka was unable to use her true strength to lead Luna away from this ghost place immediately.

"Time...should be enough, should be enough..."

He whispered to himself secretly.
