harry potter book of crimes

When Maka turned around, what he saw was...a horrific sight that he couldn't understand.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large number of regular runes that are constantly rotating around a certain "thing". Those runes look very dim and seem to disappear at any time.

And among those floating and swirling runes, a vague shadow hung out of thin air several inches above the ground.

As for the periphery of those runes...he didn't know how to describe it, it was like...the space was constantly distorting?

"what do you?"

He found that he couldn't even use the right words to call it. He only knew that it should be a kind of creature - because he did hear some kind of heavy breathing.

He just held the wand in his hand tightly, but this slender wand did not bring him any sense of security.

"Ahem...poof..."

A cloud of blood mist passed through the densely packed rule runes without any hindrance, but completely disappeared in the twisted space around it.

"It's really not decent...cough cough..." It was an extremely old voice, hoarse and vague, but it also carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"We don't have much time, listen up -"

"laugh--"

Maka, who could clearly feel the magic power, used its regular runes to eliminate the sluggishness of the past. With a flick of his wand, the magic thread extending from the tip of the wand was accurately and quickly outlined, and an icy blue light beam instantly

It burst out and charged straight towards the opponent.

But in the next second, the rule runes fell apart inexplicably, and the cold light pillar completely disappeared into the air.

"Varied--"

"Ahem... don't waste time..." The other party's voice sounded unusually weak, but even so, he could easily break through Maka's killing move.

Why is this? Maka can't understand the reason at all.

"...What you have to do now is just to listen carefully," the other party's voice was very ordinary, like an ordinary Muggle old man, but Maka inexplicably felt a kind of disgust that penetrated deep into her soul, "Yes, first of all

...I have to let you understand who I am..."

As the other party finished speaking, the regular runes surrounding him suddenly accelerated their rotation. Maka noticed that many of the runes had been moved to the inner circle.

Immediately afterwards, the moved runes suddenly shrank, as if they were entangled with something.

"Just open the first few pages and take a look... Ahem... I will have plenty of time to read it carefully for you in the future..."

Just as the other party was speaking, the thing wrapped in the rule runes suddenly accelerated forward. With a weird distortion in the space, the thing seemed to have broken through some kind of restraint with difficulty and flew over.

between him and that person.

It was moving towards Maka, but Maka could clearly see that the entangled rune chains were rapidly collapsing. Then, as if it had lost its power, a particularly thick magic book fell on Maka.

in front of the card.

"This...this is..."

"That's right, you...ahem...do you understand?"

Maka picked up the book without hesitation, without even reading the words on the cover, and decisively opened the first page.

"That's right...it's true..." He looked at the familiar handwriting on it and his eyes widened, "You...could it be possible?"

He smoothly took out an identical thick book from his waist, with complexity written all over his face.

"Ahem... don't read..." The other party ignored Maka's reaction, but urged, "Although it is written above that you should know... ahem... But I think some things must be done

You have to say it yourself."

"...What's going on?" Maka frowned, her eyes full of wavering.

"Abandon that stupid and ridiculous plan! Remember, you must give up!" The old voice was extremely firm. Although it was still weak, it exuded an unquestionable momentum. "Ahem... That plan will only do nothing."

Let you lose everything...ahem...everything!"

"Everything?" Maka looked at the blurry figure of the other party and suddenly became calmer, "Really?"

There was a hint of noncommittal in his tone, and it was obvious that he had already had some doubts because of the other party's words.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party chuckled softly.

"Ahem...hum, do you think you have given up?" The other party said with a wry smile, "Think about what Luna said today, and you tell me again...ahem...are you still planning to give up?"

"What are you talking about?" Maka's heart suddenly suddenly broke out, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.

This is because as soon as he asked the question, he already recalled Luna's words.

"Mom always said... everything we throw away will come back, but usually not in the way we expect."

One old and one young, two people whispered this sentence at the same time. For a moment, two completely different voices overlapped, but there was a chilling sense of synchronization.

"You won't give up...ahem...right?" There was an unspeakable self-mockery in the other party's voice, "...and this is the sentence...ahem...you will hear it again tomorrow.

Once, and then...cough cough cough...then..."

The other party's coughing suddenly became violent. Listening to the force, it was as if he was about to cough out his lungs. After a loud gasp, the other party continued.

"...Then, it will completely...ahem...completely destroy your life...no, everyone's life..."

"Of course, we don't care about those unrelated people at all...but..." he suddenly emphasized his tone, "but...what about her?"

Although the figure of the other party was still blurry, Maka knew that the other party's eyes must have fallen on Luna at this moment.

"...Hmph...do you know what four-dimensional vision is?" The other party suddenly sneered and threw out a word that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Maka.

"What?" Maka felt that this word had been said enough tonight.

"I can't see her clearly now... Damn it... In my eyes, you are like colorful, disgusting worms!"

"Yes, that's right...ahem...it extends from outside the door to here, and then continues to other places..." the other party said, suddenly paused, "ahem...hum...I think so much, so much

I want to see her again... just one glance..."

"etc!"

Maka immediately noticed something was wrong, but by the time he spoke, it was already too late.

In the next moment, the rule runes around the opponent's body turned completely gray. Then, they shattered one after another, piece after piece...

In the blink of an eye, the originally amazing three-dimensional regular rune array turned into nothingness; and the figure inside was finally exposed to the air.

How should I put it? It was like a... rag bag with blood leaking out...

That figure only existed in front of Maka for less than a second, but Maka imprinted him deeply in her mind without missing a beat.

Including the exquisite robe on his body that had been soaked with blood. Although its original color could no longer be seen clearly, the layers of regular runes on it could still be clearly distinguished;

Including the tall staff in his hand, the dark green staff is also engraved with numerous runes, and the top is even inlaid with some unknown stone.

Of course, it also included the wrinkled old face, and the look in his eyes that made Maka feel extremely familiar - it was something he had just experienced, originating from the deepest weakness and fear in his heart.

Is he afraid of death?

No, what he was afraid of was probably just not being able to see Luna's sleeping face again, right?

Maka looked at the space next to the window. Everything that happened just now left no trace at all. It was like a trance dream, so unreal.

But in his hands, two identical books were reminding him with their weight that it was not a cruel nightmare.

Maka lowered her head. On the cover of the book above, there were four large silver-gray characters imprinted with magic...

"...The Book of Sin."

He didn't open it immediately, but moved his eyes to Luna's face. He seemed to be afraid too - afraid that he would be like the person just now, and he wouldn't be able to watch it anymore without knowing when.

Her chance...

Perhaps it was because both parties had consciously lowered their voices just now? Luna was still sleeping deeply, and when Maka looked towards her, she happened to see a sweet smile on her face.

"...Luna."

Maka called softly, but as if she was afraid of really waking her up, every syllable was so careful.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, then leaned on her hospital bed and quietly opened the magic book called "The Book of Sin".

Maka noticed something unusual about this book when he opened it for the first time. Now, when he opened it again, he immediately discovered that this book was indeed "incomplete".

Just like the literal meaning, in the middle of this book, there are many pages that have been neatly torn out together. Maka doesn't know what content has been written on those pages... or will be written in the future, but it is undoubtedly impossible

He saw it now.

He exhaled softly and read carefully from the first page.

This book is exactly the same as the other notebook he has, even the first few pages are exactly the same. On those familiar pages, there are many records of studying the rules and runes, and they were only written down recently.

of.

Before this, Maka had already written three volumes of notes on the study of rule runes. This should be the fourth volume, and it has just begun.

Scroll further down, and there are developments that he has not studied...

"It's really no different from the idea I haven't recorded yet, or in other words, this is simply the follow-up content written by 'I'..."

However, just when he was looking at it in fascination, his notes on rune research came to an abrupt end...
