Chapter 406

Although three silent people were caught in a row, there was still not much substantive gain. But for Maka, just meeting this woman in front of her is a great harvest.

Since these silent people are still desperately searching for Sirius, it means that Sirius is not only alive, but also has escaped from their pursuit.

Now that Maka knows that the other party has another companion searching, he must first adjust his priorities.

In order to ensure the safety of Sirius who did not know where to hide, Maka decided to start first and catch the last silent one before the other party found Sirius.

After all, although he didn't know where Sirius was, he already knew the location of the woman's companion.

"... west side."

After dragging the woman in front of her with the floating spell, Maka stepped on the magic book and flew straight to the west of the square.

……

Joshua is running, running under the yellow street lights... He feels very scared. He doesn't want to be punished for not completing the task

He must, must find the man named Sirius Black.

On a street in the west side, the young man who acted separately from the woman captured by Maka was running desperately.

He has searched almost half of the neighborhood, but he hasn't found the strong man with dishevelled hair yet.

"... not in the west side... Not in the west side?" his voice kept shaking. I didn't know whether it was because he was running or just out of fear, "it must be in the south side... In the south side..."

On his body, there was a faint black fog, which seemed to incarnate the crazy darkness at any time because of the violent fluctuation of spirit.

Suddenly, his toes suddenly tripped on a raised floor tile and fell heavily on the ground. When he scrambled to get up again, his palms supporting the ground and his forehead knocking on the floor tile flowed out viscous blood.

But he seemed to get up unconsciously and ran towards the front again.

There was no one in the street at night, only the sound of his footsteps echoed. The darkness around him made him feel like he was in an abyss, in the shadows around him, as if some monster wanted to choose someone to eat.

Joshua has been a timid boy since childhood. He is afraid of darkness, solitude, narrow space and deep corridors

But what he feared most was the demon like master.

Therefore, he can't stop, no matter how scared he is. As long as he thought of the cruel punishment he would face if he failed to complete his task, he had to put aside everything that frightened him.

Yes, "learn to forget" - a companion once taught him. That's what I say, but how should I throw it?

"... ah, it hurts... It's dark... It's terrible..."

He ran straight ahead, stepped into the light curtain of the street lamp again and again, and left again and again.

"... bleeding! Bleeding again... It's terrible..."

He turned a corner and slipped again, but he forced himself to hold the lamp post of the street lamp. With the shaking of the lamp post, the light overhead went out one by one.

"... can't just go back... To complete the task... Can't..."

He passed the bookstore. It seemed that there were mice squeaking in the alley next to him. He tried not to listen or think. He tried to bury his head in the road under his feet.

"Ah --"

"... what's going on? Someone's screaming? Woman?"

Joshua suddenly raised his head, and the messy, sweaty hair under his hood covered most of his vision in an instant. But he saw it clearly——

Next to the bookstore, the door of a magic drugstore is half open. On the stone steps at the door, a beautiful woman was standing stiff, her mouth wide open and her expression of fear.

No, Joshua is not concerned about women - although he is not afraid of women, he is not good at dealing with them. He thinks he may hate women.

What he was concerned about was what the woman was holding.

"... the robe... The robe worn by the man named Sirius Black!"

Joshua took a beating at his feet, then threw off his legs and ran towards the woman like crazy. He growled in a low voice like a frightened beast.

The woman standing at the door immediately reacted. She subconsciously threw her robe forward, and then quickly flashed into the half open and half closed door.

The next moment, with a "bang", the wooden door was closed by her from the inside.

For a moment, Joshua was thrown on the forehead by the broken black robe, covering his whole head.

For a moment, his vision was limited, and his injured forehead slammed into the door panel through his robe.

"... well."

do you have any pain? Of course, it hurts very, very much! But although he was afraid of pain, he had already suffered countless times of more severe pain.

Joshua crouched on the steps, scratched and tore away his robe, then took it in front of his eyes and confirmed it - yes, it's this black fur robe. It must be the man's!

He just got up with the door plank, trying to open the force to break through the wooden door and break in. But just as he was about to do so, a woman's conversation rang out on the second floor of the magic drugstore.

"Up!"

Joshua quickly stepped down the steps to the middle of the street and looked up at the window on the second floor. Then, he burst out a large thick black fog from the street to the air.

The robe fell on the floor tiles of the road with a slap.

However, Joshua, who wanted to rush into the window on the second floor of the magic drugstore, failed to complete his intention.

At the moment when he turned into a black fog and soared into the air, several red mans suddenly burst from the other end of the street. Not even a blow was wasted, and all of them poured on him.

The continuous impact force made the black fog fly back dozens of feet. A few seconds later, Maka pedaled the magic book, crossed the street at high speed and stopped where the robe fell.

"This is Sirius's one..." Maka fell to the ground, bent down and picked up her black robe, and looked left and right. "Is it near here?"

In fact, there was no need to look for it. Soon his sight fell on the second floor of the magic drugstore.

Although the curtains were being pulled in the window, and there was no light between the gaps of the curtain cloth, the curtains were shaking slightly in the room with the windows closed, which seemed suspicious.

Maka didn't think any more. He immediately raised his staff and pointed to the window. At the same time that the window sash was opened by him, he had stepped on the magic book and rushed in quickly.

He was welcomed by a disarming spell and three figures who disappeared in the vortex of phantom movement.

"Sirius?"

Maka readily fended off the magic spell that shot at him, and the secret way in her heart was terrible.

Just now, he vaguely saw the general appearance of the three leavers - Sirius and two other women he didn't know.

One of the women left with Sirius's entourage; The other was the younger girl who finally cast the disarm spell on him.

In fact, what he saw more clearly was the last girl. After all, in order to stop himself, the other party left a little slower.

As for Sirius, who was taken away first - to be honest, if he hadn't recognized the guy's broken pants, he might not have recognized it.

"... doesn't it mean there's only one last accomplice left?" Marca frowned. "The effect of truth spitting agent must be no problem, that is to say... This operation is divided into two groups? Or are those two reinforcements from the latter?"

He breathed a sigh of annoyance, then stepped on the magic book and flew backwards out of the window, chasing the silent one who had just been hit by himself.

……

At the same time, on the Hudson River north of New York, on a slope full of weeds.

With two crackling explosions successively, the three people emerged from the distorted space one after another. Olivia, with Sirius's entourage, fell down on the grass with the former, looking a little embarrassed.

Then Abigail appeared, holding his knee and showing a frightened appearance.

"... I've had enough!" she shook her wand and gently sniffed, "I never thought that one day I would curse a terrible black wizard! It's just... It's just..."

"Abby, there's a black wizard in?" Olivia said in surprise.

"Yes!" Abigail sat down on the grass and said, "it's terrible. Will they send someone to kill me? I've never done anything bad -"

"Didn't you use the 'hairy curse' to tease the neighbor Joseph when you were a child? You forgot?" Olivia blinked and smiled.

"Don't tell me all those trivial things!" Abigail said angrily, "especially in front of this man!"

Sirius lay weakly in the grass. Hearing Abigail's words, he shook his head a little reluctantly.

"Sorry, it's all because of me..."

"Yes! It's because of you!" Abigail said angrily. "Remember it! You owe me!"

"Of course, you're right..." Sirius sighed. "By the way, are you okay? Are you hurt? Such an urgent phantom shift --"

"Don't underestimate people!" Abigail turned his head and stared at him. "I passed the phantom development test at one time! I've never made any mistakes!"

"I've seen you practice many times by yourself!" Olivia immediately revealed. "That's against the rules!"

"Livy, shut up!" Abigail threw the wand at Olivia's head.
