Hogwarts becomes host

113. Inferi



Adair scorned Muggle weapons.

The power that magic brings to wizards is not just magic power, but also spiritual sublimation and stronger perception. Muggles cannot imagine how big the difference is.

Wizards and Muggles have completely different perspectives, and their understanding and knowledge of the world are also different.

Why are some magical creatures invisible to Muggles?

Because people who have not turned on magic have a very low ability to observe the world. Not only can they not see it, they are also easily deceived and ignored by magic. Coupled with self-suggestion and personal understanding, unless magical creatures make a big fuss to attract attention on their own, otherwise it will be inconvenient. The melon is completely undetectable.

Only after interacting with wizards and stimulating a small amount of inert magic in the body can Muggles barely come into contact.

The improvement in perception allows wizards to detect malicious intentions in advance. Unless it is a satellite-level high-speed over-the-horizon attack, ordinary wizards also have the ability to stop anything flying towards them, and they can do it without a wand.

Because wizards can sense the malice on items at the first time. A more Muggle term is murderous intent. The murderous intent on the bullet is so strong that it will trigger the wizard's own magical resistance, unless the wizard is too poor or there are other wizards. Use magic to cause trouble, or no wizard will be shot by a gun.

It might be useful if you use magic power to modify firearms and bullets, but it would be very troublesome.

It's just killing people. Avada can solve it. Why spend months researching firearms?

As for the powerful damage caused by missiles and nuclear bombs, the malice entwined on them is also quite terrifying. A normal wizard would immediately disapparate as soon as he sensed it. How could he just stand there and not move away?

Rather than killing the wizard, finding the wizard and not letting him escape is the problem.

Even the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore were once worried about not being able to find Voldemort and Grindelwald. The world is too big.

All weapons that are targeted by electronic instruments, no matter what method they use to collect data, will be interfered with by magic and cause malfunction; even wizards themselves have difficulty finding wizards who are deliberately hidden and bent on escaping, let alone Muggles.

If it were an indiscriminate attack, I would admit it, but with the current population ratio between wizards and Muggles, an indiscriminate attack would probably kill hundreds of thousands of Muggles first.

As long as Muggles can't solve the three major problems of spatial movement, mental control, and observation ability, only a few wizards may die in the wizarding world, but there will definitely be a lot of chaos in the Muggle world.

Although Adair said this, Elaine really couldn't understand where his pride came from when thinking about the mallets in the magic world that couldn't even cast barrier spells.

Maybe in his eyes, only people with the surname Shafiq, who may be named Shafik in the future, and people who are close to the Shafiq family are considered wizards.

"I don't think we need to test each other like this." Elaine said a little irritably after returning to her seat. "It's impossible that you really care about the lives of those prisoners. You just want more benefits. I don't have time to waste with you, and I don't want to engage in any negotiation methods. Just tell me what you want."

"Then I'll tell you straight." After a few seconds of silence, Mrs. Roberts said without changing her expression. "We want all the secrets of the wizarding world that can be given to us. Potions, magic materials, spells and other things. We want samples to study."

"I have such a big appetite, I'm not afraid of stuffing myself to death." This shameless statement made Elaine really angry and laughed. "Without basic magic power, even if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it well. Isn't it enough to give you a future?"

"You won't know whether some things are useful until you get them. The vague future is too far away." Mrs. Roberts replied. "Although greed is the original sin, it is also one of the driving forces of mankind. Of course, we will provide corresponding rewards as much as possible─"

"I see. Fifteen years later is too far away, so what about the losses that will occur next month?" Elaine asked rhetorically. "The Treasury's self-estimate in 1997 cost the UK $34 billion. Isn't this news big enough?"

click.

Even though most of the people pretended to be calm, what Elaine said still made a few middle-aged people restless. They looked very embarrassed under the stern eyes of others.

Mrs. Roberts first whispered a few words to the old man next to her, and then made a gesture.

Other soldiers and some people who were sitting quietly stood up and left, and the number of people in the room was immediately reduced to the point where they could be counted on five fingers.

"For such a big event, is there any evidence to prove that it will happen?" Mrs. Roberts asked calmly without changing her face. "Please explain in detail what kind of news it is about."

"I refuse, and I want twenty prisoners. Once they are in my hands, I will prophesy to you."

"Ten names, the prophecy is not guaranteed to happen. We don't know your accuracy, so──"

"Only twenty people, don't bargain, people's patience is limited." Elaine stood up, "I approached you with enough sincerity. If you treat me with this attitude, there is no need to cooperate. "

"Wait a minute," knowing clearly that Elaine did it on purpose, Mrs. Roberts still stood up and shouted. "Just twenty, but there are conditions attached."

"I still have to condition you─"

"More information, especially the strength of Lord Voldemort, will help cooperation." Mrs. Roberts said quickly, "We want to see the harming power of wizards, otherwise it is really difficult to understand why one person can threaten Why is he called the devil throughout the UK?"

"Yes, but you have to provide the venue and prisoners." Elaine thought for a while and said. "No one wants to experience dark magic, including me."

"Already prepared."

***

The group of people came to the basement of the house. Perhaps because of the apparition just now, everyone understood that Elaine could come and go freely and was not hostile, so the guards basically left.

Only Mrs. Roberts, Elaine, and three counselors followed.

"Here." A consultant said to Elaine. "He is Peter William Sutcliffe, also known as the Yorkshire Butcher. He was convicted in 1981. He first hit his prey on the head with a hammer, then stabbed the victim's chest and abdomen with a sharp screwdriver, and They punched and kicked the victims, a total of thirteen women were killed.”

After walking two floors of the basement, I saw the small room where I was being held, and there were several soldiers with guns monitoring me.

Elaine really wanted to complain. Everyone had been brought here, and they obviously planned to cooperate. Why did she still pretend to test herself, or even refuse on purpose?

The British are just pretentious.

"Although he has no weapons, he is still dangerous. He even tried to grab the gun and escape during the transfer, so we are not going to open the door. This door should not be a problem for you." Mrs. Roberts asked. "How are you going to deal with him?"

"Look."

Elaine was not sure. She knew what Adair was planning to do, and it wouldn't be a good thing anyway.

After a phantom apparated in, Elaine switched personalities.

Mrs. Roberts signaled that the prepared personnel would immediately turn on the camera surveillance.

But the moment the music started playing, the whole scene went black, including the lights, and the basement fell into darkness.

After everyone panicked for a while, they managed to get some light with lighters and flashlights, but it was impossible to see clearly the casting process and internal conditions in such darkness, which made Mrs. Roberts frown.

She was still thinking, but loud wailing and begging for mercy came from the cell, and many people looked at each other.

That was a death row prisoner with thirteen lives, and he had no restraints. He especially hated women. When Elaine first entered, she could even hear the prisoner's sarcasm and excitement. How could it turn into begging for mercy in just thirty seconds?

Wails and moans were accompanied by lively music, and some strange sounds, a bit like something being pulled out.

Everyone was horrified and didn't know what to do.

Only darkness could be seen from the crack in the door. A soldier boldly opened the door quietly and shined a flashlight into the door. However, he only saw a large swath of red, which made him startled. When the flashlight fell to the ground, In an instant, the door closed automatically.

"Wait," Mrs. Roberts said calmly. "The other party is a scumbag anyway. This is retribution."

It was only five minutes, but it seemed as long as a century.

The music stopped, the lights returned, and the door slowly opened. Elaine walked out of the cell door with a smile on her face, followed by the prisoner with unfocused eyes. His stiff advancement shocked the soldiers, and they raised their guns. warn.

"Shoot if you want," Elaine said. "He has turned into an Inferi."
