Within a quarter of an hour, Martha contacted all the forces that had been mobilized.
The team led by Dwight, Gail, Nancy, and Wendy sealed off the news in the old city.
Mafo asked for a car to drive out.
It was unknown if he was going to negotiate (threaten) or negotiate (threaten). At the same time, Jessica drove a Ford over for them to travel. During this time, Sven suggested that they could use his low-key car, but everyone unanimously rejected it and rejected Sven's suggestion to go with them.
Sven protested sternly, "Why? You're discriminating against extras! "
Harry explained gently, "Because, if Nancy and the others can't stop the police,
We'll still have to hand over a bomber. "
Sven was dumbfounded by this reasonable reason. "I..."
"You can take this as recognition of your title as an escape master."
So, Mulde drove in the end.
Only the two of them, Martha and Scali, traveled together. Snape specially added three layers of the Neglect Spell on the old Ford before getting into the car. This made Martha even more curious about the identities of this group of people. She pointed at Mulde and Scali and said, "You two... are obviously serious PC, FBI, or CIA. No matter what you wear, you can't hide the civil servant aura all over your body. But they... "She pointed at Snape and Harry.
"Well,
They're obviously not on the same side as you. "
Harry thought of his identity as an Auror.
He couldn't help but laugh. "Actually, we're also considered PC."
Martha chuckled. "No, more like the Master of the Underworld."
The Neglect Spell allowed the group to leave the old city smoothly. On the way, they brushed past the sirens of police cars, but were not stopped for inspection. The closer they got to the church,
The colder Harry felt. The others didn't feel so obvious.
But when they saw the thick black clouds over there,
They also felt a little uncomfortable,
It was as if they had been invaded by the black fog just now.
"A very powerful Abrupt Spell." Snape could already tell.
Then he frowned. "Why don't you use the Muggle Expulsion Spell?" In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Muggle Expulsion Spell was the best choice for keeping Muggles away from a certain place.
"Probably to prevent us from searching," Harry guessed.
There was no one in front of the church, but the Ford still stopped ten meters away. As soon as they got out of the car, a gloomy and cold air pressed down on their heads, making the three Muggles show obvious signs of paleness. Harry and Snape looked at each other, took out their wands in tacit understanding, and turned around to cast a Petrification Spell. "Petrify them all!"
Perhaps the three of them were not weak, but Dementors were still not an evil force that Muggles could fight against. From the very beginning, Snape and Harry did not intend to bring them into the church.
Harry cast another Petrification spell on Martha's snake. When he turned around, he saw Snape pointing his wand at him. "Professor?"
The Petrification Spell hit the boy, and Snape admired his stunned expression for a second before he ordered in a deep voice, "Send them back safely." Then the black robe turned around and walked towards the closed door of the church.
Unfortunately, Snape did not intend to bring Harry into the church from the beginning to the end. Although it was not clear which version of the story was the origin of the scar on the kid's head, Snape knew that Harry was sensitive to negative energy. And Dementors were obviously monsters of extreme negative energy, so Snape could not let Harry get close to them. Besides, judging from the gloomy atmosphere of the church, there was probably more than one or two Dementors inside.
The hall was empty, the curtain and confessional were covered in thick dust, and the solemn cross was tilted. It had been slashed together with the crucified Jesus. Snape was on high alert as he searched floor after floor. Other than the scattered ghosts, he did not find a single believer or priest. He only found a corpse that had died from the Dementor's kiss in the attic of the church on the top floor. Judging from the attire, it was the priest here. At the same time, he also found a smiley face of a clown painted on the ceiling.
After checking the attic again, Snape finally found an elevator that went straight down behind the portrait of the bishop. Not daring to act rashly, Snape took out a bottle of antidote magic potion and took it before he got into the elevator. There were only two buttons in the elevator, and there was no indication of the floor. The Potions Professor estimated that they had stopped at basement two.
It was just a Dementor. Snape took a deep breath. Brain Seal allowed him to stay awake and calm for a long time. The elevator door slowly opened, and he clenched his wand tightly.
At the same time, Harry had already broken the Petrification Spell. He first stuffed Mulde and the other two back into the car and then removed their petrification. "Mr. Mulde, you can drive the car back first."
Mulde had just recovered from the state of being "under the spell", but he immediately said, "No! Harry, I can't leave a child like you here! "
Scali also said, "Besides, Mr. Snape said that he wants you to go back with us. He's your professor! "
Harry wished he could concoct a bottle of age-increasing potion to prove that he was not a child, but now he could only reason with them. "You Muggles can't deal with Dementors. And the professor … you don't know him. If he really didn't want me to stay here, he wouldn't have used the Petrification Spell! "Snape knew how long it would take him to break the Petrification Spell.
"Harry …" Mulde calmed down a little. "I don't know what a Dementor is, but if it's really dangerous, then we can't let you stay here alone." In any case, Harry was just a child in his eyes.
Scali added, "I know, we may not be able to help you, but we won't cause you any trouble."
"… Okay." Since they did not want to leave, Harry could not force them. After all, Mulde and Mulde were Kolssen's men, and it was not appropriate to leave them alone. But Martha …
Harry looked at Martha and saw that the March Queen was sitting in the back seat without saying a word. She seemed to be very uncomfortable. He suddenly became worried. "Miss Roth? Miss Roth, are you okay? "Lucien asked, hoping that she was not affected by the Dementor. Harry took out the chocolate from his pocket and said to Mulde, "No, I'm afraid that Miss Roth can't hold on any longer. You should go back first."
Martha shook her head and took the chocolate that Harry peeled. She said in a low voice, "I'm fine … I just … have a headache …"
Headache? Harry comforted her. "Martha, try to think of something happy. It might make you feel better …"
Martha pressed her temples and raised her head in pain. "But … I don't think I can be happy for the rest of my life …"
The red-haired beauty looked at Harry with her green eyes. They were like a clear lake with rippling water plants. Harry's heart skipped a beat. At the same time, a lot of questions flashed through his mind. Why did the ugly girl and Poison Ivy come to the old city? Was he lured here by Nihon? Why did he use the Neglect Spell instead of the Banish Spell? Why didn't Snape do anything?
Before these questions could be answered, the door of the church was opened again. Snape stood at the door in a black robe with a gloomy face. When he saw Harry and the rest who were still standing at the door, his face turned even paler.
Harry almost screamed, "Professor, where are the Dementors?"
Snape shook his head. "The Dementors are not here."
There was nothing in the dungeon except for the empty torture instruments and blood stains. The church was just a fake Azkaban set up with spells.
But Harry turned around in shock and met Martha's eyes that were getting more and more empty. The green lake was covered with dark clouds, and there were shadows of the Dementors everywhere.
"Mr. Mulde, Miss Scali …" Harry said in a trembling voice, "Get out now."
"What?" The two were confused.
"Get out." There was no exclamation mark, but this was the voice of the old master of the Auros division. Mulde and Scali immediately did as they were told. At the same time, they noticed Martha's abnormality. "Miss Roth … What's wrong with her?"
Snape, who was walking towards them, also noticed the abnormality. He first pushed Mulde and Scali away, then shouted at Harry, "Potter!"
Harry cast a spell to set up a barrier between the two, blocking Snape's curses. Then, the tip of the wand touched Martha's temple. The queen did not resist at all, only frowning in pain. Harry smoothly entered her brain and quickly flipped through her memories. Life in the City of Sin was like a black and white violent comic. Every page was filled with men, women, fighting and blood. Harry quickly skimmed through these fragments and then walked into a colorful circus. He saw the younger, sexy and beautiful "Mad Queen" Martha. This Martha ran in a maze of mirrors, cages, strange laughter, and spinning carriages. Harry had to run wildly behind her and almost got lost in the dazzle. Fortunately, Martha was awake. She laughed and ran into a ha-ha mirror, and then disappeared.
Harry stopped in front of the mirror and saw a distorted version of himself. The Harry in the mirror seemed to be sneering.
"Alright … You win this round." Harry outside the mirror could only smile bitterly.
The ugly girl and Poison Ivy were not sent to stop Harry. They were indeed here to guard the Dementors, but the Dementors were not in the church. They were locked in Martha's body. The church was just a pretense, or rather, a hint. This hint could not be revealed too early. When Harry brought Martha to the church, it was just right.
"That's … amazing." Harry gritted his teeth. "Do you want me to applaud you? Ha, do you want me to hug and kiss you? "
