Taotao Ltd. - This is the surface image of St. Mungo's on the Muggle streets, and it is also a cover for Muggles.
But in fact, Muggles have very few opportunities to see this old red brick building, because they can basically just pass by without realizing it.
This old department store has always been just a window sitting on the street, silently waiting for wizards to walk through it.
However, although the effect of magic will make Muggles ignore its existence, it cannot prevent the snowflakes in the sky from falling and accumulating in front of its door.
Unknowingly, the snowfall in the past few days has made it also surrounded by thick snow, and a soft and white carpet has been laid on the nearby floor tiles.
But suddenly—
"Crunch."
As a figure appeared in front of the door without warning, a pair of hard-soled leather boots also got stuck in the snow.
The man lowered his head slightly and casually glanced at the sign on the door that had been there for who knows how many years. The words "Closed for Renovation" had long since faded.
Maybe he just looked at it subconsciously and didn't really care what words were written on it. In short, at the next moment he waved his hand, and the door opened immediately, as if he was actively welcoming this rare guest.
You know, although there are actually a lot of people coming here, they have never walked through the door. As a serious door, it seems that it has never been opened since the day the door frame was installed. .
Now, it finally has a real guest... Think about it! This is such an exciting thing!
It's a pity that no matter what the reason is for this special guest to come here, it is impossible for him to show up here just to take care of a door.
Not long after, the man walked lightly and silently into this old-fashioned department store that had never been opened before, and seemingly casually glanced at the abandoned store.
Then, he suddenly waved his hand, causing the tall round stool that had fallen near the old glass counter to fly in front of him.
And in the process of suddenly jumping up, all the dust on the round stool automatically fell off, and when it landed, it had turned into a clean seat.
"Bang!"
With another wave of his backhand, the door slammed shut again, causing the sign hanging on the doorknob to vibrate a few times.
When I looked at the figure again, I found that he had already sat down safely.
But the moment he sat down, his brows suddenly wrinkled inexplicably, as if he was surprised and confused about something.
But soon, he shook his head in relief and let out a soft hum.
"The 'little gift' that you spent so long hiding was actually discovered by yourself before I showed it..."
"Hmph, this time it's really a bit 'amazing'."
This man probably spent so much time alone that talking to himself became a habit. Listen to him muttering something to himself first, then closing his eyes slightly, seeming to have fallen into calm thinking.
Obviously, this person is actually Haierbo. Now he has entered the Taotao Department Store, which is the entrance to St. Mungo's, uninvited and talking to himself.
No, if we go by what he just said... maybe he has already included St. Mungo's as his target of action, and even successfully sent a "small gift" there.
A moment later, Haierbo, whose eyes were slightly closed before, opened them again, but the doubts that had just been restrained not only did not disappear completely, but increased a lot.
To be honest, Haierbo was indeed quite confused at this moment.
Because he was actually trying to find out inside St. Mungo's through the glass showcase just now. But even after sensing the entire St. Mungo's, he still couldn't find any sign of Maca's existence.
not here? He was obviously there the past few days... Could it be that he left temporarily
Haierbo felt that this was completely impossible. After all, both Maca and himself understood the importance of this gathering place for injured people. And because of this, Haierbo still chose to attack here even though he knew that the other party would guess it.
Sirius had guessed well before. Haierbo's coming here was indeed intended to create some crisis of distrust for Maka. But of course, it would be better if Maka could be more involved and interfered with.
However, now Haierbo has discovered that Maka is not at St. Mungo's!
Although he can still move now, there are some things that are not too important whether the person involved is present or not. But what he cared about was whether Maka had set some trap for him.
"Tsk."
Haierbo frowned and shook his head, somewhat unwilling to take the risk.
In fact, his plan has now reached a very critical stage. He does not want this body to be destroyed by Maka for the time being.
But at the same time, he also needs to stir up some troubles to buy more time for his current plan.
Haierbo also had to admit Maka's magical talent and social influence. If Maka was freed up to target him all over the world, then he wouldn't have to do anything but waste his life with Maka.
And this is definitely not the result he wants.
"...Does this mean that you are hiding somewhere waiting for me to show up?"
Haierbo raised his head halfway and looked at the dirty ceiling with empty eyes, looking at it steadily with a sharp gaze that seemed to penetrate the space.
After a moment, he suddenly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"Then let's see, it's you who can't hold it in anymore... or me."
As he whispered to himself, a layer of black mist gradually appeared on Haierbo's ordinary face, quietly covering up the smile at the corner of his mouth.
…
"Click—"
An inaudible cracking sound suddenly sounded in the temporary ward. It failed to alert Harry who was standing on guard outside the door, but was inevitably heard by the alienated Acromantulas guarding nearby.
Xiao Wu, who was standing next to the statue of the big man, trembled suddenly, then moved his eight legs together and turned around like lightning.
Unfortunately, although Xiao Wu's reaction speed was not unsatisfactory, it was still a little bit behind after all.
Just when it was about to activate its petrification talent, a huge fist suddenly broke open a layer of gray-white stone shell, and hit its head with a large number of fragments.
In a hurry, Xiao Wu tried his best to lift his front legs in an attempt to deliver the blow, but this action only temporarily saved him from having his head smashed flat.
A sudden and direct blow caused Xiao Wu's equally huge body to suddenly rise into the air and fall into the group of spiders near the door.
If Harry didn't hear this time, he would be deaf.
"Varied-"
Harry, who was leaning against the wall, quickly took a few steps forward, first glanced at the big spider that fell at the door, and then immediately looked deeper into the room.
How is this going? Why can that big guy automatically recover from his petrified state? And he also seriously injured the spider helper left behind by Maka.
Yes, just at a quick glance, he discovered that the two thick forelimbs of "Xiao Wu" had been broken. A green liquid gurgled from the bend, and it looked like the injury was very serious.
Without further ado, Harry simply observed the situation in the room, and then immediately took out his wand and pointed forward.
"Flying sand and flying rocks!"
The sound of Xiao Wu landing just now was quite loud. Everyone must be rushing here now, and what he has to do is to hold everyone back as much as possible on their way.
At the same time, although Acromantula Xiao Wu was seriously injured, he still struggled to turn over and get up, with all four pairs of eyes focused on the big man who had injured him.
The Acromantula's hand-to-hand fighting ability is definitely not weak, and the Basilisk's is even less so. As an alienated Acromantula that combines two "5X-level" magical creatures, Xiao Wu's defense is not low.
It can be seen from this that the strength of the big man opposite is really something that people are concerned about.
"Stand back, we're going to petrify him again."
When Harry's spell hit the opponent head-on, he also heard Xiao Wu's reminder. Although fighting with a group of spiders made him feel a little weird, it was no longer the focus of his attention now.
"OK."
Harry responded, then raised the wand in his hand again. And his left hand, which was not holding anything, was quietly placed on the brim of the Sorting Hat above his head, always ready to take it off as quickly as possible.
For him, this is a life insurance when nothing can be done, and it will also be a shackles for him to challenge his destiny.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would never want to gamble with the lives of his friends around him!
But just as all the spiders in the room were looking at the big guy, the opponent who had just been hit by Harry's spell finally slowed down again.
However, Harry did not feel the slightest relief from it.
Because he discovered that when a burst of black mist danced like flames suddenly appeared all over the guy's body, the other person's movements once again regained their previous flexibility.
Such a big body can actually be so fast. In just a few seconds, the fist with the roar of the wind was immediately swung out, and it hit Xiao Wu's head again with unusual stubbornness.
Suddenly, Harry felt something hit his body in the middle, knocking him to the other end of the corridor.
"Bang! Boom!"
Two extremely dull thumps almost overlapped and instantly resounded throughout the corridor. Harry struggled to push himself up, clutching his sore waist and looked towards the door, and then saw the terrifying scene he least expected to see.
"Roar-"
