Chapter 56 Visitors
A loud bang dispersed the muggy air over Little Hangleton, startling a few birds. This summer has been extremely hot, especially at this time.
The setting sun is sinking on the horizon, and even the afterglow is fiery red, scorching the crops growing on the fields. The fiery red eyes drove away the coolness that finally rose up in the evening.
The only thing that benefited from this fiery red was probably the abandoned mansion on the hillside. The incomplete tiles on the roof finally looked a little more vibrant against the backdrop of the sunset.
The blood was dripping, flowing along the moss on the tiles and blending into the fading sunlight inch by inch. For a moment, it was unclear whether the setting sun was more brilliant or the blood, which was also dimming, was more vivid.
The many newly added spots on the broken and dusty tiles weakly reflected the light in the last ray of light. The heat evaporated the rusty smell left in every mark, mixed with the smell of various weeds in the garden, like a pile of Raw poultry that has not been cleaned is served to the table covered with rotten lettuce.
"Only one finger was separated this time, which is good."
"Any degree of separation may lead to irreparable mistakes." Mu Yu straightened his skirt and sat on the eaves. From here, he could see the sunset along with the All the houses and fields in Little Hangleton have a panoramic view.
The hem of the skirt was dyed red, blending into complex patterns with the sunset that gradually turned purple. The pattern is all made by one hand, and purple smoke is rising from it. If you look closely, the missing parts are slowly being connected.
She hissed slightly and still sat firmly on the eaves without even swaying. I don't know whether it was because the spell finally made some progress or because the phantom transfer finally made some progress. In short, she was in a good mood and her tone was very light.
"Nagini is out again."
She had long been accustomed to questions that would not receive a reply. She combed her hair that was gently brushed by the breeze and shook her feet in boredom. The flames in the sky seemed to be burning the most intensely.
"I went to get his letter. You know, that person. He said he would accompany me to Diagon Alley next week." She didn't even bother to mention his name. The name had no meaning. It was almost an open question between them. Secret, "What was he thinking about?"
The heat steamed her soft tone even more hazily, and all the light was projected on her body, even her pupils were burning, making her more vivid and real than ever. From this moment on, she seemed to be integrated into this old house, taking root and sprouting here together with the damaged sunset until it rotted away.
It would be nice if the sunset never set.
"You always know what to do."
"If it's about your body, why are you so relieved?" Her voice seemed to be sinking with the sunset, "Counting the days, Phoenix Pine is about to..."
Something was wrong with the sight next to her. At first she thought it was just an illusion caused by the blazing sunset, but now that the last ray of light was about to disappear, the burning heat projected on her body did not diminish at all.
She moved to the side, and her hand, which had not yet healed, dragged out long, red marks.
This stimulated Tom Riddle to get closer to her more than the fiery red sunset, attracting him to touch or even caress her wounds, as if this could replace the sense of victory he had not experienced for a long time.
Not just a replacement, but perhaps a transcendence.
He has never wronged himself in this regard. He is always willing to explore things that may be beyond his control, let alone a flower that is destined to wither.
It was too simple. Without a body, he could easily get close to the girl and touch her wounds.
It was as if her blood was flowing with him.
"You will go there. There are many ways to reshape your body, but you only have one chance." He got closer and closer. This was always the case. The faint sandalwood scent always drove him to keep getting closer. The memory of that Christmas night in London was stirring again, as if something was constantly clashing and noisy in his soul, "Three D principles, you are always a little determined..."
It was too close, so close that Mu Yu could no longer feel the pain in his soul. It was cold, and the temperature was rising steadily in the space on the roof. She felt like she was no longer in midsummer, but more like being thrown into a furnace, and the flames seemed to turn every inch of her bones into ashes.
The setting sun had completely set, leaving only the purple sky filled with rays of light.
"The sun has set." She moved a few more inches, but she couldn't get rid of the shadow. The sentence just now was so broken that it almost didn't look like a sentence. The wording and grammar seemed to be completely thrown away at this time, "I I like this time the most."
The girl was trying her best to stay calm. This forced calmness only brought him the pleasure of playing with his prey, and only at this time could he truly feel that he truly possessed Mu Yu.
"After the splendor comes the long and eternal darkness." He could always accurately grasp her thoughts.
She couldn't retreat any further, or she would fall down.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle!" Her cheeks were especially hot. She didn't know whether it was because of the heat or anger. She thought that the past two months were enough for her to get used to the weird atmosphere between the two. However, today, it seems that some taboos have begun. The sprouts frightened her and attracted her crazily. This was abnormal and should be stopped quickly. "You..."
She stopped, and the wand was directly held in her hand. The air was still so quiet that there was no sound.
The blush on her face faded little by little, replaced by her usual disguise: "We seem to have a few guests."
The cool breeze finally blew from the distant fields, and the purple in the sky gradually faded into blue, revealing the A few sparse stars.
It's like a bucket of ice water poured down on the head, not only diluting the heat, but also stopping the hustle and bustle in the soul.
From above, Nagini could be seen hissing and crouching in the thick weeds in the backyard, while his snake eyes were fixed on the window of the living room facing the backyard.
The girl jumped from the roof, and after a few jumps, she silently stepped on the dirt in the backyard.
On top of the extinguished flames, new and more powerful flames are destined to be ignited. The violence accumulated for twelve years since Mu Yu found him seems to have subsided a lot. However, tonight was rare, violence and madness came like a tide.
No matter who comes tonight, this person will have to bear the ultimate fury of him.
The back door was opened and closed silently with her wand, and more than a month was enough for her to become familiar with the house. The living room seems to be the same as before - gloomy light no matter day or night, with a few scattered and worn-out furniture.
She walked in the living room as if she didn't notice anything unusual, just strolling around in her own home.
An unlit living room in the evening is more terrifying than a tomb.
Without any warning, a faint red light shot out from an unknown dark corner. It was not that conspicuous in the darkness.
However, Mu Yu accurately dodged the red light, flew forward and grabbed the sleeve of the person coming, blocking several spells. The other person seemed to be worried about something, or was suddenly in awe for something, even the spells were So weak and powerless.
Even so, the opponent is still struggling hard, as if trying to escape from the restricted state. The fight between the two didn't last long. Within a few breaths, Mu Yu grabbed the other's neck, snatched her wand and pressed it against the corner.
Something was wrong. She could feel the strength of the person coming. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. What's more, something seemed to be burning on this person's left arm. She could feel the heat when she got closer.
But it's none of her business, and she can't let anyone know she's here, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. With her other hand she twirled her yew wand, the spell she had used more than once...
The man seemed to be aware of the coming crisis. He took a few breaths and said, "We are the same kind of people. You found him, you found the master."
The hand holding her neck seemed slender, but it was extremely strong. . She tried her best to stretch out her left hand to Mu Yu, lifted up her sleeve, and whispered: "I'll show you mine, and you have to show me yours." A
weak fluorescent light lit up between the two of them, and after seeing the restriction She was obviously stunned for a moment when she saw her person. She didn't expect to see not only a strange face, but also an extremely young girl.
No matter how weak the light was, you could clearly see that the girl's fair arms were smooth and without any marks.
Although this girl looked weird and was most likely an enemy rather than a friend, she never thought about the Aurors. It was impossible for them to know about this place and it was impossible to find it... Is it
because her status was too low or there was another reason
for her admiration ? Yu was also looking at this woman. Her golden hair was messy, her brown eyes were bloodshot, she looked like she hadn't slept for days and nights, and her face was very haggard. But no matter how bad she looked or the predicament she was in, she acted too indifferently.
Her excitement and trembling just now should be somewhat real, but it always gives the impression that it was rehearsed in advance.
Her eyes moved down to the woman's left arm, where there was a huge skull tattooed with a large python emerging from the skull. She only glanced at it and then looked away.
"You..." Seeing that she didn't seem to be planning to take action for the time being, the woman struggled to open her mouth to explain. The fluorescent light between the two people suddenly went out, and she was slammed against the wall, causing pain in her ribs.
The girl's still childish laughter came to my ears: "Everyone likes to come uninvited. It's so rude."
The rustling of the grass in the backyard echoed in the quiet and empty living room.
"Kill them," the woman decisively whispered in Mu Yu's ear regardless of the danger. "You must not let them find you here."
She said it as if she cared about her.
Mu Yu threw the woman directly to the ground without making a sound. She also squatted down and looked at the woman with her head tilted, like a curious child studying new things, but what she said was no better than a devil.
"You are luckier than them, you didn't come in through the back door. Nagini just came back, you have to know that she is very hungry..."
As soon as the words were spoken at the right time, there were several sharp screams and the sound of magic spells breaking through the air from the door. . Under such circumstances, Mu Yu remained calm and looked at the woman on the ground with a smile. There was neither panic nor worry about Nagini, as if he was really a host preparing to welcome guests.
The screams didn't last long before they stopped completely. The big snake swam around the gap in the back door and swam toward the living room. Its cold scales reflected a pale light in the rare moonlight.
Nagini stopped in time when he swam to her feet, but still raised his head and stared at the woman eagerly.
"It's your turn now," she clapped her hands and stood up, "explain it. Nagini won't mind adding a dessert after the meal."
The woman swallowed. Although she was shaking and looking extremely scared, she Still retaining rationality.
Mu Yu was observing her subtle movements throughout the process.
"Viola Leon, Vice President of MACUSA, my mother comes from the Lestrange family," she said quickly to the point, "All the people outside just now are members of Christine, the president of MACUSA. I also come from Not as rebellious as those people."
There is a lot of information in just two sentences, and the surname Leon seems very familiar. Mu Yu thought for a long time before he remembered that the history of magic class had been taught.
A pure-blood family in the United States, their head was arrested for failing to seize the Magic Congress.
