Chapter 367： Get started!

Speaking of which, this is the first time Sean has come to the floor of the Department of Mysteries. However, before Barty Jr lost the news, the other party has provided him with information about various departments of the Ministry of Magic more than once.

The Department of Mysteries is the top secret agency of the entire Ministry of Magic. There are mysterious and unpredictable things here, and even the incumbent ministers cannot know all of them.

This time, Sean, who was transformed into a middle-aged bald man, looked back at the elevator, shook his robe, Dave spread his wings and flew out, and then turned into a thorn sheath and hung from the ceiling in mid-air.

"Notify me immediately, Dave," he ordered.

"clear."

Sean walked towards the simple corridor in front of him, and soon, he saw a simple black door.

Exactly the same message Barty Jr gave himself...

Without hesitation, Sean pushed open the pitch-black door.

Crossing the threshold, he stood in a huge circular room. Everything here is black, the walls and the floor, like a calm lake in the darkest hours of the deep forest.

There were some branch-shaped candles dotted between the walls, and the blue flames swayed pitifully and weakly, bringing a glimpse of Sean's vision.

Above the black wall, twelve identical black doors stood silently there. They seemed to have no difference at all, without handles or markings.

Sean walked slowly to the middle of the circular room. Immediately, the black wall with the black door above it spun rapidly, and the blue candlelight turned into a blurred light band.

This is one of the defenses of the Department of Mysteries.

When the room stopped spinning, Sean walked towards the door closest to him, he didn't try to imprint it because he knew it wouldn't work.

The black door was pushed open effortlessly, and Sean saw the scene in the first room.

This is a huge square room, almost the size of half a football field, with a stone pit in the center, surrounded by steep steps descending section by section, like a terrifying lecture hall.

Sean walked to the edge of the stairs and looked down. There was no podium in the center, but a raised stone platform with an old, dilapidated arch standing on the stone platform.

There is no wall around the arch, and a tattered black curtain or drapery hangs on it. Although the air here is cold and there is no wind, it is swaying gently, as if it had just been touched.

"Death Hall..." Sean muttered, this was not the place he was looking for.

He glanced at the huge arch one last time, and the tattered drapery of the windless automatic trembled suddenly.

A strange feeling came to Sean's heart, as if someone was waiting for him behind the arch.

Occlumency was automatically activated in an instant, resisting this faint but captivating temptation for him.

There are too many strange things in the Department of Mysterious Affairs that cannot be explained.

"Huh?" Just as Sean was about to walk to the door, not only himself but also the things he was carrying, a strange magic wave fluctuated slightly, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

As if something was attracted to the Hall of Death.

Sean carefully checked his body, and there was nothing unusual. He poked his head into the ring, where Cat and Leopard Pudding was counting the snowflakes in the landscape ball.

"Did you feel anything unusual just now?" Sean asked his friends.

Several magical animals said that nothing was wrong.

"Okay... let me know if there is anything wrong, and let me know when the snowflakes are counted."

After giving an order, Sean closed the ring and walked out of the black door.

There must be something wrong, but there is no way to dwell on it now.

When he walked out of the black door, the circular room immediately revolved rapidly.

When the rotation stopped, Sean closed his eyes and felt it. Sure enough, the shadow worm that he had just left in the death hall could no longer provide contact.

"Just let it go, I hope luck will be better..."

Sean pushed open the second door.

It was an icy room about the height of a church, and it was lined with towering shelves. It was filled with little grey glass balls. Small yellowed labels are affixed to the shelves under each glass ball. Some spheres glowed mysteriously flowing light, others were dim and dark, like extinguished light bulbs.

Hall of Prophecy... Sean recognized this room.

He suddenly had an idea, will the prophecy about himself be stored here?

Professor Trelawney said that wizards have a wonderful sense of their own prophecies, but Sean closed his eyes and felt it, and did not find anything that would attract him.

"Maybe not..." Looking at the full of shelves, Sean gave up the idea of ​​looking for one by one, he no longer struggled, and walked out of the hall of prophecy.

In the depths of the hall, in a small dusty corner, on a low padded stool, a gray crystal ball was flashing a soft light. However, the crystal ball was covered by a glass cover.

When Sean left, the crystal ball stopped flickering immediately.

Sean, who had returned to the circular room again, pushed open the third door.

The moment the door was pushed open, he knew he had found the right place.

Hundreds of ticks were noisy and chaotic, and a beautiful, diamond-like sparkle filled his entire field of vision, and when Sean narrowed his eyes to adjust to the light, he saw all kinds of things. clock.

Alarm clocks, grandfather clocks, grandfather clocks, travel clocks... Countless clocks are ticking, and the continuous sound fills Sean's ears.

And emitting that throbbing, diamond-like light was a tall bell-shaped crystal hood at the end of the room.

However, Sean doesn't have time to look at this magical room, there are people here.

In the dazzling light and noisy ticking, no one noticed that there was an extra guest in the time hall.

Sean cast the Illusionary Charm in an instant, but he unexpectedly discovered that under the light of the bell-shaped crystal hood, the Illusionary Charm, which he was so familiar with, could not play any role.

His figure was still hidden in the air, but as long as he squinted his eyes and took a closer look, he could see that there was an abrupt place without light in the air.

Let's go ahead... Sean hid behind an unnoticed grandfather clock.

Only then did he have time to look at the two people standing in front of the bell-shaped crystal hood.

A man in a suit was rummaging for something, his wand was constantly waving, and the parchment was flying wildly, and beside him was a mysterious man covered in black robes.

Through the gap, Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

That black-robed man is floating... a returnee...

The man in the suit looked up, holding a thick stack of parchment in his hand.

"Sir, this should be the information you need, but it may not be complete - the Silent People are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, but after staying in the Department of Mysteries for a long time, this group of people always becomes silent and slow, and it is very difficult to deal with them. trouble."

"Yeah." The man in black robe replied in a low voice, Sean didn't see his hand stretched out, instead he waved with his sleeve, and the thick stack of parchment flew into his arms.

The man in the suit seemed to want to be courteous. He bent over flatteringly and said, "Sir, if you are not in a hurry, I can search for you again. There is still a lot of information about time travel accidents..."

The man in black robe interrupted him, his voice hoarse: "No need, the elder is waiting for my news, I just need to get the most critical information."

"Ah, that's it, okay, okay." The man in the suit rubbed his hands awkwardly.

Then, the man in black robe floated towards the exit, and the man in the suit followed closely behind.

Sean, who was hiding, frowned. The other party didn't find him, but he was now faced with a choice.

He can wait for the two people to leave and find the information he needs. However, the other party just mentioned that the core information about the time travel accident was taken away by the people in black robes, and Sean may not be able to find himself if he stays behind. required information.

And if you keep up, first of all, you don't know the true strength of the black-robed man, and secondly, people from the Ministry of Magic may **** the other party away, and you may face a bunch of elite wizards...

Sean is now quite sure that the man in black must be one of the [Returners], and the elder mentioned by the other party may be the leader of the [Returners].

It seems that, apart from Dumbledore, even the returnees do not know the truth of this world disturbance. They just noticed that it was about a time travel accident, so they sent people to the Ministry of Magic to collect information.

After a short thought, Sean made a decisive decision not to let the other party take this information.

The magic of the returnees has a silent nature, which Sean discovered from Gormley Gaunt. He originally thought that the other party was some kind of special magical life, but later the 'Mouth of Silence' could swallow the silent. Something appeared, which made Sean sure that there was absolutely no relationship between the returnee and the silent one.

The returnees can be classified, less accurately, as half-ghosts with magical powers in life but similar in nature to silence, and Sean just has a way to deal with them - thanks to Voldemort for the spell, thanks to Gormley Gunn Be your own guinea pig.

Sean didn't move, but passed the idea to Dave.

"When someone comes out, notify me immediately, and then make some noise, don't expose yourself, and let the two people who will come out later go to the hall slowly."

"Received." Dave's intelligence is getting higher and higher now, and he can clearly understand what Sean means and implement it well.

Sean walked quickly to the front of the bell-shaped crystal hood. He scanned the folders that had been turned over around him. Sure enough, he didn't see a single document about the time travel accident.

"Most of them should have been taken away..." Sean quickly flipped through all the folders, and as soon as he saw the words with time on them, he threw them into the ring first.

Whether it's useful or not, take it first.

After all this, Sean walked across the gap in the table to the other side, and he wanted to confirm one thing.

He quickly found what he was looking for, a huge glass cabinet that was constantly shattering and reassembling.

Hourglasses of various shapes are placed in the cabinets. The hourglasses and the cabinets are constantly broken into pieces, and then reassembled into the perfect appearance like a backward picture.

What Stephanie told Sean was indeed accurate, all time-turners were destroyed.

Most likely it was Grindelwald... Sean thought silently.

He can now basically confirm that the person who went back to the past is not Dumbledore at all, but Grindelwald.

It's just that he doesn't know the purpose of the other party's actions, and what kind of consequences it will cause.

Destroying all time-turners to prevent someone from going back in time again...

Just as Sean was thinking, Dave had an idea.

He stopped thinking and ran out quickly.

When Sean walked out of the time hall, the phantom body spell suddenly returned to normal, and he quickly walked out of the circular room while maintaining the invisible state.

In the simple corridor, the man in the suit and the man in black robe were dealing with the falling stones from the ceiling - Dave directly collapsed the ceiling here.

"An enemy is coming?!" the man in the suit shouted in panic.

The man in black robe was much calmer than him. After shaking his sleeves to let the falling black stones smash aside, he said in a deep voice, "Call for support, we won't go out first, the elevator is too dangerous."

Sean secretly took the thorn sheath into his arms and disappeared without a sound.

He returned to the hall from the Department of Mystery Affairs on the ninth floor using the trajectory flash.

At this time, there were already hurried footsteps, and there were batters and Aurors coming, some of them were guarding the hall, and the other part ran towards the elevator.

Sean, who appeared from the shadows, snapped his fingers at a service desk in the distance, where a clerk who was sending and receiving messages paused, and the look in his eyes lost for a moment.

He stood up from his seat and ran to the center of the hall with a flustered face, just like the other ordinary staff who asked about the Auror's situation out of concern, and several of these people were in the same situation as him.

And Sean flickered again and came to the side of the corridor, where an Auror was still staring solemnly, as if he didn't notice the sudden appearance at all.

Sean snapped his fingers, and the Auror walked away immediately, hiding himself in an empty office.

And Sean's face wriggled, turning into the appearance of that Auror.

Although coming to the Ministry of Magic was an impromptu decision, he had arranged a few things ahead of time—like a few small Imperius Curses. UU Reading

At this time, the elevator returned to the lobby from the ninth floor, and a group of people came out surrounded by a man in a suit, and the man in a suit didn't know when to put on a big trench coat.

Sure enough, the returnee can't make a public appearance yet... Sean narrowed his eyes.

That guy should be hiding in the man in the suit. It's very troublesome for people with flesh, but for a ghost, it's very simple... But the man in the suit shouldn't feel very well.

The moment this group of people appeared, several staff members who were surrounding the Auror to inquire about the situation suddenly burst into flames, and Qi Qi took out their wand and aimed it at the man in the suit.

In other corners of the hall, a few people took out their wands absentmindedly.

"Boom!" The main hall of the Ministry of Magic was suddenly enveloped by various explosions. The chandelier on the ceiling burst and fell, and the security check counter, the Magic Brothers fountain, and the Floo network fireplace were all attacked by the explosion spell.

The group of people who had just stepped out of the elevator were also instantly enveloped by the attacking curse.
