Unlike the others who were busy dealing with the Raccoon City incident after the meeting, Penello went upstairs directly to Allen's room. After entering, he found that the other party was using his finger to control the time of a small bonsai, making it quickly repeat the process of growing and decaying, just like the crystal covers in the kitchen that were moved from the Time Hall of the Department of Mysterious Affairs. When Penello approached, Allen set the bonsai in a flowering state and retracted his finger.
She told Allen about some of the key points of what happened downstairs. However, Penello was secretly preparing the words to tell Allen about her suspicions about Luna. She observed Allen's expression and wanted to know if her boyfriend, who usually seemed to know everything, knew the truth.
"The Muggle government plans to use a nuclear bomb to destroy Raccoon City …" Penello stood next to Allen, her eyes never leaving Allen's cheeks as she told him the information.
"Oh? The United States Magic Congress has given up on maintaining the confidentiality law? They don't plan to solve it themselves … Are they waiting for me to issue a warning? " Allen raised his eyebrows. "Forget it. It's been a few days. You guys shouldn't have found any survivors, right?"
"Indeed, there aren't many left. Only those with eyes found a few." Penello's lips opened slightly and her fingers brushed across her chin. "When Albert sneaked in, it was said that he liked a Muggle colleague named Chris very much. He even arranged to save this policeman before he faked his death."
"Oh? Since he got along well with Albert, let the team bring him back. I'll talk to the temple and arrange for him to be turned into a wizard, okay? " Allen slightly lowered his chin and put the bonsai back on the table. "It's kind of funny. When I was in the fourth grade, my father wanted me to participate in politics more. Now, he always thinks that I should be busy with greater things …"
Penello was silent for a moment. Her voice was not as sharp as usual. "… Maybe he thought that he could do a lot for you in the beginning, but now he realized that he could do very little … So he wants to take on more responsibilities."
Hearing this, Allen gently reached out his hand and shook Penello's hand. "I know, people always need a channel to vent … I've put too much pressure on you guys."
"Does the crazy girl also give you pressure?" Penello asked directly. Then, without waiting for Allen's response, she gave up the idea of snitching at this time. Her voice was much more normal. "Allen, you told me before … to find a channel to reduce the unhappiness in our hearts. at least it will make us feel more comfortable … Do you have a channel?"
Allen looked at Penello with some nostalgia. He found that she seemed to have changed into the witch who was still in school today. Suddenly, he leaned back and pressed all his strength on the chair.
"You're right. We should vent our emotions, just like what you've speculated. However, it's indeed my sin to leak the potion in Raccoon City, so I have to find someone who should be more responsible for it …" Allen's words reminded Penelope that she could not hide her thoughts in front of him. She wanted to explain, but this time, she was interrupted by Allen instead. "After Muggle's nuclear bomb is launched, the residual nuclear radiation pollution is too harmful to the creatures and the environment … Not only that, it may not be able to guarantee the elimination of all sources of infection … How about it? Do you want to come with me to solve it and vent your emotions while you're at it?"
Penelope, who had been exposed just now, still couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts. "Ellen?"
She looked up and saw Allen raising his arm and skillfully drawing an arc in the air. Then, countless skulls silently burned, and the Gate between Realms appeared out of thin air … Then, Allen's finger moved again, and the invisible eyeball of the Arcane Eye floated in the air and went through the Gate between Realms.
Penello then calmed down and looked at the other side of the door. The arch and the curtain that made her feel so painful and deep came into view. She instantly straightened her body. It was the curtained hall of the Department of Occult Affairs of the London Ministry of Magic. The other things in the Department of Occult Affairs had been moved to the Hogwarts University Campus. Only this place was left behind to avoid the hidden danger of the Grim Reaper.
This also caused the female Auror to secretly exert strength in her muscles. She was ready to pull Alan back at any time. She could not let Alan get close to that place, lest history repeat itself when he was in the fifth grade. That experience was something she never wanted to experience again.
"Don't be nervous, Penello. I'm not going there myself … I'm scared to death." Allen turned back and said casually. He then stood up and grabbed Penello's arm. "I'm just making sure that no one is here when the time comes. I don't want to hurt Kroc who's staying here."
"Allen, are you going to …" Penello tilted her head in confusion. She looked at Allen's side profile and became more and more puzzled. But before she could finish her sentence, Allen pulled her along with him. After a longer pull than usual, she realized that the distance of the phantom teleportation was not short.
And just as she expected, when she regained her vision, she found herself in a chaotic neighborhood. She raised her head slightly and saw the three most conspicuous huge letters in front of her — RPD. These three letters were hanging at the top of the arched door of this very old building. It was the abbreviation of the local police station that looked a little old outside the building.
Outside the arched door, police cars and ambulances were parked haphazardly. Some of the doors were wide open, and some of the windshields were smashed. Some of the cars seemed to have been flipped over and turned into makeshift barricades.
The darkness of the night, the disorderly lights, the unextinguished flames, thick smoke, and the strange fog in the surroundings interfered with one's vision. It also made this place look more like the end of the world. Those places that could not be seen clearly seemed to be hiding monsters that were ready to open their bloody mouths and swallow the living at any time.
"Albert's report should have mentioned this place. When the Muggle resisted these monsters contaminated by the drug, they once used this place as a stronghold." Penello's gaze swept across the puddles of dark brown blood on the ground. These blood stains attracted a lot of flies. It was obvious that many people had died here, but there was no corpse at the scene.
Allen used his prophetic eye to scan the surrounding environment and directly observed some of the information that had turned the situation around not long ago. He sighed. "The Muggle are more tenacious than expected."
"If you need help, please go to the police headquarters …"
A mechanical female voice came from a loudspeaker near the building, echoing in the cold street. The loudspeaker was timed to prevent the sound from attracting too many monsters, so it did not play continuously. However, the local police officers did not turn it off until the place was breached due to their duty.
Penello looked away from the loudspeaker and noticed that the fog, which was originally so thick that it could not be dispersed, began to gradually dissipate in the area where they were, as if it was avoiding them. This made her more certain of her previous guess, and also made her feel a little sad about her own insignificance. She knew that in the eyes of the other party, she was probably not much different from the citizens here.
"Penello, do you know when the Muggle government is planning to launch the nuclear bomb?" Allen's voice interrupted Penello's thoughts.
"The warning from the United States Magic Congress did not specifically mention this … Albert only said that there were countless howling letters here to remind the wizards who are still in the city to evacuate. According to the deadline given, it should be a long time." After Penello answered with a frown, he asked Allen worriedly, "Allen, weapons like Muggle's nuclear bomb and hydrogen bomb … can be considered one of their most intimidating means … Its range of influence is very bright, and it can easily raze this city to the ground … What do you want to do by asking this? You brought me here to vent …? "
