Chapter 998

"Marca, are you going to hang out on the street all the time and try your luck?"

After leaving the wizard cemetery where Mrs. Pierce was buried, Maka returned to the suburbs of London and continued to walk aimlessly as before.

Sirius thought he had a definite destination at first, so he followed him for a while, but soon found that he seemed to be wandering at all.

"Huh?"

Hearing Sirius's question behind her, Maka had to shrug her shoulders a little reluctantly.

"I know that one of Haier Bo's secrets is probably in the suburbs, but I lost the clue last time... Before I think of a better way, I can only try my luck while thinking about it!"

In fact, not only himself, but also the little spiders he sent out have narrowed the search scope. Unfortunately, even they still haven't gained anything, and his walking here can only be better than nothing.

"Oh, Sirius, go and do your business! I'll just walk around here by myself... Or you can just walk with me for a while, and we'll have something to eat in this Muggle town at noon?"

As Maka said this, he also reached out and motioned to both sides of the street.

In fact, they had left the previous rural mountain road before they knew it. The roadside houses, which were a little sparse, have become dense again.

Even now, several shops with life can be seen along the street.

Seeing Maka mention lunch, Sirius could not help touching his stomach - he was also investigating the frequent disappearances in recent days. He didn't return to black's old house until the early morning. He was actually a little hungry without breakfast.

"Well, then go again," he thought, and finally nodded. "Just wait for lunch and go directly to change shifts with lupin."

Sirius and lupin are still working in the Ministry of magic, but what they do may not be assigned by the Ministry of magic.

Just like this time, the two were purely helping Maka explore the Muggle disappearance and death, and Auror's identity became a cover for their convenience.

Of course, this is tricky. The Minister of magic, scrimger, obviously knows it.

"Speaking of it, how's Kingsley recovering?" as she walked, Maka suddenly said, "I haven't seen him since he left the hospital. Haven't there been any abnormalities during this period?"

Sirius then tilted his lips and said:

"Haven't you been treating the whole process? Is there a problem? You know it best... Why, it's rare to see that you don't have confidence?"

However, Maka really smiled and sighed.

"It can also be said to be 'no self-confidence'," he said. "Or, to put it another way - I'm worried that Haier Bo will leave behind something difficult to detect."

After a little meal, he said frankly:

"Really, the more times I fight with the black wizard who has awakened since ancient times, the more I can feel his incomparable deep heritage. It can be said that almost every time I see him, I find that he is stronger than the last time... And this is just a transitional stage in which he is gradually recovering his real strength."

Finally, Maka spread her hand, and her tone also brought some emotion.

"... so can you imagine how strong he was in his heyday?"

Because of this, while destroying each other's bodies again and again, Maka never felt the joy of defeating the enemy. He knew that as long as he didn't solve the dependence of each other's Horcruxes one day, he would never really destroy each other.

Facing an enemy who is not only invincible, but also stronger and stronger, this is undoubtedly the most disgusting thing he has ever encountered.

"So, although I'm not afraid of Haier Bo, I really have no confidence. At least for the time being, everything must be careful enough -"

Before she finished, Maka suddenly stopped talking and suddenly looked at a family in the street.

Sirius reacted quickly. Although he didn't have Maka's strong perception, he was quickly alert the moment Maka turned his head.

As you can see, it is an ordinary double storey house. Red brick walls, beautifully mowed lawns, and a row of flower pots placed against the wall - a similar residential appearance is not surprising here.

But the next second Maka turned to look, an inconspicuous cry of pain suddenly sounded from the closed window on the second floor. Muggles walking up the streets of this town didn't notice, but Maka and Sirius heard it.

"Go up and have a look!"

As soon as Marca winked, she followed him to the door of the family. When he came to the door, he didn't see any superfluous actions. He just stretched out his hand and twisted the door handle, and the door was easily opened by him.

It's like it's not locked at all.

As soon as she entered the door, Maka heard a loud voice. When he looked around, it was the sound of the TV set in the living room, and it was really not small.

At the other end, there was a figure shaking back and forth in the kitchen. It should be an old lady.

Obviously, the suppressed low cry was completely covered by the sound of the TV, so that it could be heard more clearly outside.

"I'll go up first. Go and let the old lady have a rest!"

After giving a sign to Sirius who came in, Maka ignored the others and went straight to the stairs.

The wooden stairs seem a little old and creak when walking on them. But he was not worried that the old lady would find out. Soon, he went up to the second floor and opened the door of the upstairs bedroom.

Then a thin old man curled up in bed immediately came into Marca's eyes.

The old man seems to be out of health, so he will still lie in bed in this broad day. Now, Marca can see that he seems to be in a very painful state.

He saw his dry palms clutching his throat, his throat cluttering, and even white foam oozing from his mouth.

Looking at his eyes and breathing more and more difficult, it seemed as if he would die in the next second.

Is this an illness? No, it doesn't seem to be.

Maka didn't stop after entering the house. She broke the old man's mouth and stuffed a brown hard block just taken out from her waist directly into it.

Perhaps students who had taken potions seriously in Hogwarts could recognize that it was a treated dung stone. And its function is also very simple and clear, that is, detoxification.

Marca's judgment is accurate. Sure enough, soon the old man's face turned from green to red, and his breathing gradually became smooth.

Before long, the other party was temporarily out of danger and fell into a restorative coma.

"How's it going? What happened?"

While Maka saved the old man's life, Sirius also ran up from downstairs. As for the old lady below, he probably put her on the sofa to sleep.

"It's poisoning," Marca said in a hurry, and then turned around, "I'll talk about it later. Wait a minute, I'll find something..."

But he waved his hand, looked at the old man again, and then turned to the door. While walking out, he seems to be looking for something.

Looking at Maka walking down the stairs again for some reason, Sirius didn't know what he was doing, but he knew he couldn't disturb him at the moment.

Therefore, even if he was completely confused, he just followed Maka silently back to the downstairs living room.

"Gee, is that true -"

A moment later, she saw Marka staring at the old lady who had been laid down on the sofa by halbo, and her eyebrows slightly stretched out.

"I said why there is no magic trace on the missing or the victim... Originally, the anomaly that can not be found is hidden in the body of the perpetrator!"

At this point, his eyebrows, which had just loosened a little, tightened again. Not only that, his right hand also popped out quickly and waved to the old lady suddenly.

At this moment, the virtual shadow of a soul Rune suddenly flashed, and he pulled out the other party's soul on the spot.

"The most important thing is that the force that drives Muggles to harm their relatives is always sleeping. Only when they need it, will they wake up periodically and affect the attached Muggles."

At this time, it can be seen that in the old lady's soul, there is obviously a mass of gray and black things crawling and shrinking... And it is about to integrate into the soul again and hide.

"Sirius, I'm afraid we can't have lunch today," Maka head didn't return to the tunnel. "Go to the Ministry of magic to inform scrimgeor and gather the Muggles who have killed people in our investigation. The case information is provided by us - if necessary, you can contact the old bishop Mr. Davidson to seek the assistance of the Muggle royal family."

What he said just now was obviously not to himself, but to Sirius.

After learning about Maka's discovery, the latter immediately understood the seriousness of the matter - which means that those Muggles are likely to continue to kill against their intention!

"I'll go right now..." before leaving, Sirius finally asked, "well, by the way, do we in the order of the phoenix also need help?"

But makadan shook his head.

"There are enough people in the Ministry of magic. Our people are on standby for the time being. There may be more important things to do later," he said. "I'll take the old lady to San Mungo first and find me there."
