The Evil God of Hogwarts

They were silent for a while, and then Xing Ze continued: "Then I took the second job. It was an old man who was terminally ill. He asked me to find his son. He wanted to see his son before he died.

"I thought it would be difficult to handle, but when the old man took out the photo, I thought it was not difficult to handle. His son is very famous in our city and was listed in real estate advertisements in shopping malls.

"So, I approached him and he met me in the office, but he only gave me three minutes because he had a meeting in the afternoon. I explained my purpose as quickly as possible and was kicked out by his company's security guards. .

"But... he at least said something to me, mostly saying that the old man was not worthy of being his father. Only then did I realize that this matter was indeed difficult to handle, so I followed him for three days and finally caught him after a banquet. Lived him.

"I attacked him from behind, knocked him unconscious, controlled the force just right, and then took him to see the old man. But... the ending was a little different from what I imagined. The old man actually scolded me for kidnapping his son. You want me to get out of here or call the police.

"I weighed the pros and cons and gave up on asking him for payment. So, after working for so many years, I am still a third-rate detective. But I feel that I am doing a good job and do my best to fulfill the client's requirements."

"I heard it," John said, "but it has nothing to do with you..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, J, we're almost there." Xing Ze took a deep breath, as if he was about to reveal some shocking secret.

"That was my first paid commission. A father wanted me to help find his daughter. His daughter had been missing for three months. I could see that he was desperate. If there was another way, I thought He wouldn't come to someone like me for help either.

"The father gave a good price, and even though there was little hope, I agreed. Then I visited the place where the girl had worked and lived before. In addition to making me more and more aware of this loving girl, I gained nothing but admiration.

"After a week of fruitless investigation, I decided to give up and start working in our industry. This is normal. Not every commissioned case will have a result. I found sufficient reasons to persuade the old father to take the case with good intentions and peace of mind. I went to bars to catch girls. Yes, I was still drinking and smoking at that time.

"But when I saw that photo, I couldn't help but investigate again. For a while, I felt very close to her. I visited the nursing home where she helped and investigated the orphanage where she worked. She also went to the charity rescue center where she would go in her spare time.

"But in the end, who would have thought that I found her in a slaughterhouse. The man who killed her, dismembered her, and ate her was a widower who made a living by killing pigs..."

"Eat her?" John interjected.

"Yes, he ate her, just like we eat pigs," Xing Ze said calmly, "I found her head in the refrigerator, and that's all she had left. I really hope the butcher can take it Pick up the knife and fight me hard, so that I have a reason to kill him.

"Unfortunately, he didn't. When he saw me, he gave up resistance immediately. While waiting for the police to come, he was very quiet and even asked me for a cigarette. I couldn't see any joy on his face. Anger, sorrow and joy.”

Speaking of this, Xing Ze slowed down and continued: "Do you know what scares me the most? It's not the corpses scattered on the table, nor the flies flying in the sky, nor the things in the freezer. Every head. But...that guy is a human being just like you and me.

"How I wish I was seeing a monster, tearing open its skin and showing its fangs. That would give me some peace of mind, but that's a fucking human being, a living human being.

"After that, I thought about changing careers, but it never really worked out. It took me some time to figure some things out, and finally, I think I figured it out."

"What do you want to understand?" John asked.

"Those people don't deserve to be called human beings, at least in my opinion. They are just monsters in human skin. So, I went back to what I do best because I found a reason to attack these people. "

John felt something weighing him down, and he found that it was Xing Ze's eyes, that kind of fanatical, almost crazy eyes.

So, he thought hard and came up with a lame joke: "Have you found a reason to quit drinking and smoking?"

"Are you crazy, J?" Xing Ze smiled and his eyes returned to normal, "After experiencing this kind of thing, only alcohol and cigarettes can help me stay awake."

"But now you..."

"Oh, that's another story." Xing Ze said, "But I have said enough today."

"Yes, that's enough," John agreed, taking a cigarette from under the sheets and lighting it.

After smoking one, he sighed and said: "I worked as an Auror before entering the Key Hall. At that time, Scrimgeour was still a captain, not a director. I belong to the seventh team, which you may not have heard of. "

Xing Ze shook his head.

"That's right, because after Benson died, I was the only one left in the whole team. Speaking of which, I was full of energy and confidence at that time. Everyone has their youth. We were ordered to hunt down a group of fleeing Death Eaters. They hid in A Muggle village.

"I'm the youngest one in the team, so Benson asked me to stay behind and keep in touch with the Auror office. Those Death Eaters are really difficult to deal with. We can't attack them for a long time. They can take the lives of Muggles, but We can't.

"Then the head of the Auror office at the time, ah, I always forget his name, asked me to bring a secret weapon to support the team, which I readily agreed to do. But what I didn't know was that it wasn't anything. The secret weapon is a magic bomb.

"The bomb was powerful enough to blow up the entire village. Our team, the Death Eaters, and the Muggles would all be destroyed. It was Benson who saved me. He probably expected what I brought, so he wanted to take me with him Apparition.

"But he didn't expect that I threw that thing out. Maybe it was the desire to survive, or maybe it was something else. In short, I was completely panicked at that time. I killed a whole village of Muggles and took them with me The brother who has been with me through life and death.

"After this, I quit my job and drank my life until Benson found me and recruited me into the Key Room."

John lit a cigarette with trembling hands, took a deep breath and asked, "Do you think I'm a monster too?"

"I don't know." Xing Ze replied, he stood up and patted John on the shoulder, "But I know I am. The world needs monsters like me so that I can keep other monsters out. I'll come back next time Look at you, friend.”
