After all, Sirius still couldn't get out of this house, which was actually not that big. Just beside the store shelves downstairs, his legs gave way and he fell to the floor again with a plop.
When Olivia and Abigail on the second floor suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from downstairs, they looked at each other and immediately walked quickly towards the stairs.
But Abigail, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped at the stairs, causing Olivia to almost hit her in the back.
"What's wrong?" Olivia asked confused.
Abigail didn't speak, she just shook her head slightly, then bent down and picked something up from the stairs.
"Your wand!" Olivia took a closer look and was surprised, "Wasn't he just now -"
"I really don't know what that guy is thinking..."
Abigail pursed her lips, a flash of wavering flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed the awkward feeling in her heart again, raised her legs and continued walking downstairs.
But her steps seemed to be faster than before.
"ah!"
As soon as the two came downstairs, Olivia was shocked.
The man lying on the floor was still trying to hold himself up. But his weak arms could not bear his own weight at all, and his breathing, which was originally inaudible, became intermittent.
"Stop!" Olivia didn't care anymore. She hurried forward and helped Sirius' upper body, "Calm down, breathe slowly, don't exert any more force-"
"Hello!"
Just as Olivia was trying to persuade Sirius, but to no avail, Abigail's loud shout pierced both of their eardrums at the same time.
"You guy with unknown origins, listen to me!" Abigail said loudly, "I don't care what your purpose is or what you want to do! I only know that with the way you are now, you can't do anything at all. We can't do it! Do you want to die in front of us like this?"
"... Indeed, I have caused unnecessary trouble to you... I'm sorry, I should have... died outside." Sirius whispered breathlessly.
"Trouble? You have been trouble since you fell at the back door of our house!" Abigail said angrily, "Don't you understand? You still have something to do, right? If you die, what else can you do? Do it?”
"Humph..." Sirius grinned and said listlessly, "This is really... I can't refute it..."
He paused and asked casually: "But is it really okay to leave me a 'bad guy' at home?"
"It's not good at all!" Abigail said in annoyance, then she gently waved the wand in her hand towards the corner of the shop, "Left into the air."
A stretcher covered in dust flew out from the corner, unfolded silently in the air, and landed next to Sirius and Olivia.
Olivia reacted immediately and moved Sirius to the stretcher. Then, with the help of Abigail's spell, the stretcher carried Sirius and floated up again, following Abigail's footsteps and flying upstairs again.
When Sirius was placed on the soft and comfortable bed by the two of them again, Sirius couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was too tired, but he had no regrets.
The incident this time was quite urgent, and the road ahead was long and confusing. He didn't want Hogwarts to be in any danger for some reason. Because the son of his best mate, his godson, Harry was living in it.
For this, he is willing to burn the last drop of his value, even his own life.
But the girl named Abigail in front of him was right, he couldn't die - at least he had to keep his life until he achieved his goal.
"You just lie down, I'll get a bottle of vitality tonic..." Olivia said, and was about to walk out of the room, but suddenly turned around and warned, "You must lie down, do you understand?"
"Don't go, it's useless..." Sirius shook his head weakly and said, "The vitality tonic only replenishes the energy of the body. My situation is different."
"How on earth did you do this?" Upon hearing this, Abigail immediately asked the question she had always wanted to ask, "Is it some kind of curse?"
"Actually, I don't know very well..." Sirius frowned slightly, "It should be similar to... the feeling of overuse of magic, right?"
As he recalled his previous escape experience and the two strange black fogs that were chasing him, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he always couldn't grasp the main point.
The "Black Death" in Maka's mouth that attacked Hogwarts before was also a similar mass of black energy. But compared to the black fog this time, there is still a big difference.
But what the specific difference was, he really felt like he didn't know where to start.
"Ah!" Sirius, who was thinking, seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately turned his head and said, "Can... can I trouble you?"
"What's the matter?" Olivia asked.
"Throw my robe outside and find an inconspicuous place..."
He thought of the big spider that helped him block the two pieces of black mist - that was really a scary big spider!
My own magic spell had a pitiful effect on the strange black mist, but the spider was able to stop them in one fell swoop. If the four pieces of black mist hadn't come from different directions, he might have been able to escape without any danger.
If you ask anyone who can tame that kind of monster-like spider, he only knows three! One is Hagrid, one is Dumbledore, and the other is Maka.
And if anyone could think of sending such a monster to secretly protect him, besides Maka, who else could it be? Only that kid would mess with such a dangerous big guy without any inhibitions, and tame it quietly.
Of course, Sirius had no idea that Maka was looking for him in New York right now. He asked the sisters to hang up their robes, just to try to attract the spiders.
Even if the possibility was slim, he couldn't give up trying. Because he is too weak right now. If he encounters another attack, he at least cannot let the kind-hearted sisters in front of him suffer misfortune because of him.
"Do you have any companions?" Abigail looked hesitant.
"I understand what you are thinking..." Sirius sighed, "It is right not to trust a suspicious stranger, then forget it... But in this case, you'd better throw me out, otherwise I will give you Bringing trouble.”
"No way!" Olivia said dissatisfiedly, "You are my patient now! Dad has always taught us that we cannot abandon any patient!"
"Didn't Mom also teach us that girls should know how to protect themselves?" Abigail muttered, then shook her head helplessly, "You have also seen that my sister is like this, everyone Don’t even think about persuading her... I’ve given up anyway, you can figure it out on your own!”
She reluctantly finished what she had to say, and then sat on the chair in front of the desk, but her eyes involuntarily fell on the torn black robe next to her.
…
On the other side, Maka had left the bar and was walking down the street illuminated by dim street lights.
There is no bright nightlife on this small road away from the city center, only deserted stone roads that naturally fall silent at night.
The slightly damp ground made a squeaking sound when stepped on, as if there was still some residual rainwater accumulated in the uneven streets.
He walked quickly, because Sirius didn't know exactly where he was yet, but he must not be in good condition. He might even be dead.
But if the man is still alive, he must speed up and not let the other party wait too long.
Of course, there was another reason why he walked so fast. The reason is simple, because he noticed someone following him shortly after leaving the bar.
That kind of magical reaction is quite obscure and very weak. If they were mixed in with the crowd, he would probably ignore them completely.
Because it is so inconspicuous, even the bowtruckle's magical response is stronger than them.
But now he was on this Muggle street with no wizards. If he couldn't sense it anymore, he might as well drown himself in the Pensieve.
But no matter what, it is definitely not good to cause a scene on the Muggle street. If you want to cause a scene, you have to enter the "Jackson Commerce Plaza" that the female reporter called.
It's always easier to deal with the trouble on the wizard's territory, so you won't cause any big trouble if you're not careful.
However, the two following behind seemed a little unable to hold themselves back! Maka could feel that the other party's movements were accelerating, and the distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer.
Since you can't move the battlefield as calmly as possible, let's just rely on speed!
"Swift."
Just a thought flashed through his mind, Maka's body suddenly leaned forward, and the moment she took the next step, an astonishing speed suddenly burst out.
The other party's reaction was also very quick, but he saw two groups of black mist suddenly shooting up from behind a certain building behind him, chasing him in a straight line from the sky.
Maka glanced back, and her heart suddenly became clear.
"...Is it really the Obscurial One?"
To him, that speed wasn't very fast. Although it was not possible to lose him, it was absolutely impossible to shorten the distance.
But he didn't want to get rid of those two guys. After all, it was just another clue, wasn't it
Maka kept walking, turned and ran into the alley on the street at a fairly high speed, heading straight for her destination. When he encountered a corner ahead, he jumped on the wall and climbed over easily while holding on to the wall.
Across two more streets, you should be able to see the entrance.
In mid-air behind him, the two groups of black mist dragged their long tails and roughly brushed against the roof of a certain house, kicking up a patch of masonry and rubble. In the two black fogs, red light spots similar to Mars could be vaguely seen floating around. They were indeed very different from the "Black Death Apostles" that Maka knew.
