Chapter 434

"Ah --"

"... I really don't know... I can't see the contents of those documents before the confidentiality level is reduced..."

"Don't... don't... Er ah!"

A painful scream rang out from the next room, one after another, as if to tear the throat. Joshua held his head in a corner of the room and covered his ears hard, but the sound could still penetrate all the shelter and go deep into his cochlea.

Joshua, who has been suffering from punishment for many years, almost shivers and shrinks as soon as he hears the painful cry. Even if it was not him who was suffering at the moment, he seemed to feel it.

That kind of mental and physical torture that can't even faint must be a heart drilling curse - Joshua knew it must be the right one.

For a long time, probably because the "master" didn't want the woman to be insane because of pain and suffering, the scream finally stopped.

As the door of the next room closed again after a "bang", silence was restored here again.

Yes, Joshua was so unlucky to encounter the exploration of the silent one when he went out by chance - he was caught back to his master by his former companions, and waiting for him was a more terrible torture and punishment than the woman just now.

The silent ones are more able to bear the heart drilling curse than ordinary wizards. Maybe it's because of the constitution, or maybe it's because of the patience brought by countless repetitions. But whatever the reason, it will only make Joshua suffer more and longer intense pain.

"... ah, is it really wrong to betray the master?" Joshua fell on the floor and thought vaguely, "even if he is abandoned, he should not betray the master... Let alone let that person remove the brand mark given to me by the master... The master... Is angry..."

"Click -"

He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard the sound of the door latch being opened. Without hesitation, he immediately got up again and retreated into the corner of the room again.

"Master, don't... I've told you everything... Really..."

"Bring him out!"

The black wizard had now taken off his hood. It could be seen that under his hood was an old face full of wrinkles.

A large number of messy white beards are as conspicuous as the white hair. There are a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, but the physique looks not as thin and strong as the average old man.

If I have to say, the old wizard actually has some similarities with Dumbledore's brother aberforth. But the biggest difference between the two lies in those eyes.

In the depths of the old man's black pupils, there seemed to be some morbid evil and madness.

At his command, a silent man behind him immediately entered the room and dragged Joshua out without difficulty.

Holding Joshua's wrist tightly in one hand, he followed the old wizard and followed his master to the door of the next room.

The old wizard reached out and untied the spell on the door, then turned the handle and opened the door again.

"Throw him in -" the old man snorted coldly. "There are a few rooms in this stronghold, but you can't waste it... Just stay with that stupid girl!"

The silent man behind him faithfully executed the old wizard's orders and put Joshua into the room. But just as the old wizard was about to close the door, he paused a little.

"Joshua," the old wizard looked at him, "if you still want to return to our big family, persuade the girl to cooperate well, okay?"

Then he closed the door again without waiting for Joshua to answer.

"Say, persuade?" Joshua lay on the floor and muttered to himself, "how to persuade? What should I say... What should I do..."

He was at a loss when he heard a weak and slight voice behind him.

"... don't waste your energy."

Joshua quickly turned over and looked back. Not far behind him, the haggard woman fell on the floor and half drooped her eyelids at herself.

"What?" he said subconsciously.

"I mean... I really don't know anything..."

The woman said and closed her eyes slightly. Obviously, she didn't want to say it again for the third time.

She was Zoe, who was captured by the old man from the Woolworth Building, a small copywriter who was unfortunately involved in the dispute.

Although she has a low position, she is not stupid. She knew that the torment of that hateful old man on her had just begun!

That's a heart drilling curse! Even the top Auror may not be able to hide many secrets under the spell. How can she carry a girl who has just graduated from ifamani for less than two years?

But no matter what she says, the other party won't believe it - Zoe, who knows about those crazy black wizards, knows it very well in her heart.

Because Joshua didn't know what to say, and Zoe wanted to have a good rest, the room was quiet again.

To tell you the truth, Zoe is really a pretty girl.

Delicate and white skin, dark and supple long hair, long eyelashes and good figure exude a soft and charming atmosphere all over the body. Even though she looked haggard because of the torture just now, it seemed to add a bit of delicate feeling to her.

Even Joshua, who was somewhat uncomfortable with the opposite sex, couldn't help looking at her more.

Because of growing up in a special environment, girls living around Joshua can't dress up, let alone make up.

After all, they are almost all children raised by the old wizard. Although the other party still attaches great importance to these "experimental bodies", they are very attentive to their education, even if they are biased.

But if you want an old man who only studies magic to take into account his dress, it's obviously a little difficult for him.

So when Joshua saw Abigail, the girl Marca took to the shed, he was already amazed. But the woman in front of us is undoubtedly more concerned.

After a while, Joshua couldn't help but move his body and make a sound.

"... are you... Are you awake?" he asked cautiously.

Zoe opened her heavy eyelids and glanced at him weakly, followed by a self mocking smile.

"Don't stare at me, coward -" she said perfunctorily, "my name is Zoe... And don't talk to me casually, stay away from me..."

"I, my name is -"

"Your name is Joshua, I know!" Zoe immediately interrupted him. "Didn't I say don't talk casually?"

She spoke weakly, obviously because her strength had not recovered. But the rejection contained in the discourse is sonorous and powerful.

Joshua opened his mouth again, but found himself afraid to say anything. He had to close his mouth again and be silent again.

Perhaps it was because he saw such a beautiful opposite sex for the first time that Joshua's heart became more and more confused. He really wanted to say a few more words to Zoe - anything, but he couldn't open his mouth.

In this world, some things are so funny. Joshua at this moment is like a little boy who met his beautiful big sister. His heartstrings were inadvertently touched.

If Marca were here now, he would be unable to help sighing. The so-called "power of love" hidden deep underground and located in the locked room of the mysterious Affairs Department of the Ministry of magic does contain inexplicable power, as Dumbledore said.

This power can instantly suppress the fear, gloom and even hatred tortured by the black wizard for more than ten years.

Although speaking of the word "love", Maka always felt quite uncomfortable, but its strength was something he could not deny and ignore.

In order to protect her children, Harry's mother Lily can use this spiritual power to cast the ancient spell of love and rebound the death spell shot at Harry; In front of Joshua, under this wonderful power, there was a faint desire to break free from the bondage of his childhood.

"... Zoe, Zoe... Do you... Want to escape?" Joshua's voice trembled slightly and said hesitantly, "I... Can help you."

"What?" Zoe immediately opened her eyes and stared at him hesitantly. "How can I help?"

Her gift of taking God and reading made her vaguely understand that although Joshua spoke hesitantly and vaguely, the mind contained in it seemed to be real.

"Master... He thought I couldn't use my power well without the brand mark..." Joshua lowered his head timidly and whispered, "but I think I should... Be able to use..."

As he spoke, his whole body suddenly trembled, and a black fog spread around him in an instant.

"I'll take you out and find that man..." Joshua muttered to himself, "yes, find that man! That man is so strong that he can help us escape..."

"... 'that man'?" Zoe stared at him. "Who's that man?"

"I... his name seems to be... McLean..." the black fog around Joshua is becoming stronger and stronger, and his voice is becoming more and more blurred, "I... That man... Found him..."

Just for a moment, the majestic black fog almost shrouded most of the room. Zoe, who dared not touch the black fog, reluctantly supported the floor and pushed hard into the corner of the room.

But just then, the door of the room was opened with a bang from the outside, and the two silent people rushed to Joshua in the middle of the room.

"Hum... I wanted to see if I could get some truth out of the little girl's mouth. Unexpectedly... There would be an unexpected harvest..."
