Volume 4: The Sea and the Ship Heading North Chapter 278 Intolerable Disgust
Grindelwald and Hans, who were outside the cabin, heard the screams coming from inside.
Hans asked, somewhat worriedly.
"Do you want to go in and take a look, Master? Those experimental subjects are very precious. If he can't stop himself and kills one..."
"Then kill him."
Grindelwald's voice was cold. He looked at the corpses hanging on the trees and fell into deep thought.
"Any news from Eric?"
Hans nodded cautiously.
"Eric made some discoveries in the Arctic glaciers, but he said that there have been a lot of Death Eaters there recently, so he had to move the laboratory to another place."
"Death Eaters?"
Grindelwald's eyes were deep.
"Keep in touch with him. In addition to conducting normal research, ask him to pay attention to the movements of those people. If they have been in the Arctic and have no intention of leaving, let Eric report to me."
"yes."
…
Once a person becomes bad, the extent of the evil he commits will be beyond everyone's imagination.
Jon has always felt that he understood this truth. He has never treated everyone as a normal person. He can only insist that he is a person with a little conscience.
So after seeing those Death Eaters being disemboweled, he felt uncomfortable at first. Any normal person would feel uncomfortable seeing his own kind being treated like this. This has nothing to do with thoughts and morals; it is just a human instinct.
But after recording the actions of every surviving Death Eater in the cabin, John felt that humans sometimes don't even have instincts.
The witch who first begged him for mercy learned a curse that could preserve youth from an ancient magic book.
This magic requires a large amount of human blood, and it must be the blood of a virgin to be completed.
So she secretly killed seven Muggle girls. She was only supposed to kill five, but she chose the wrong targets for two of them because they were no longer virgins and could not meet the requirements.
She used their blood to complete this magic, making her skin smooth and bright. Even at the age of forty, there was no wrinkle or scar on her face. She was as young and beautiful as a girl in her twenties.
The oldest wizard among them was over sixty years old. He liked to make some alchemical props related to the human body, but some of them were very demanding on the person himself, such as a pair of eyes born blind, the right hands of two identical twins, and the skull of a baby that had just turned one hundred days old...
He would specifically look for objects that could be obtained according to these requirements, and then get what he wanted. He would then use the forgetfulness spell to modify the memories of the victims and their relatives, making them think that the loss of their body parts was just an accident.
Including the wizard that John interrogated at the beginning, these three are the most evil among the 14. Although the others are not as perverted as them, they are all villains with the blood of innocent people on their hands.
The two notebooks that Grindelwald gave him were already full of all the information these people had said. The five bottles of truth serum had not been used up, and there were more than three bottles left.
Jon walked out of the cabin with these things. It was completely dark outside, and the starry sky was much brighter than that in low latitudes.
He stepped on the snow, and the cold wind with the scent of grass and trees blew past him, making the hem of his robe rustle. Coming out of the smelly room, Jon suddenly had the illusion that he was in another world.
Grindelwald didn't leave, he stayed here the whole afternoon.
After taking a dazed look at the snow-covered ground, Jon walked back to him with the bag containing the notes and the remaining truth serum and handed them over.
Seeing him coming, Hans asked with an anxious and uneasy look on his face.
"How many did you kill?"
There was still no expression on Jon's face, and his voice was so calm that it made people feel numb.
"No one is dead, all are alive."
Hans then showed an expression of relief and relaxation on his face, and he hurried towards the wooden house to check his precious experiments.
Grindelwald took the cloth bag from Jon. His expression was very normal, as if he had completed some meaningful social practice activity with Jon.
"A great harvest?"
Jon didn't say anything. He seemed to not know what to say, and had no way to recount those most perverted crimes.
Grindelwald didn't care about Jon's silence. He took Jon in the direction of the monastery they came from.
"Perhaps it's because he's been educating you all along. In fact, you are very similar to Albus when they were young. You both think you have seen through people. No matter how bad a person is, how bad can he be? But in fact, this is an answer with no lower limit. Because you are not bad enough, you can't imagine how bad a real villain can be."
"It is precisely because of the lack of this concept that you have a wrong understanding of black magic. Sometimes, even if you can use it, it is extremely unstable."
Jon asked in a slightly hoarse voice at this time.
"Not bad enough, but it's also a mistake?"
"Of course this is a mistake." Grindelwald answered without hesitation, "If you are just an ordinary person, there is no problem in being a good person without any thoughts, but if you are a leader, you must be evil enough."
"The only difference between you and the people in the cabin is that you have a limit to how bad you can be. You need to know who to treat with the greatest malice, and who to treat with the most basic kindness."
"After what you've seen today, you should understand that you can't guarantee that you will always win. If one day, you lose, then the people around you will suffer the same fate as those who were bullied and tortured by these demons, or even worse than them."
Jon didn't say anything else. He followed Grindelwald all the way to the monastery, remaining silent the whole time. He seemed to be thinking about what Grindelwald had said to him, and also seemed to be thinking about the horrific actions he had heard in the cabin in the afternoon.
They entered the monastery and approached the dusty fireplace that had not been lit for many years.
Grindelwald didn't reach for the Floo powder on the fireplace, but looked at Jon and said calmly.
"Don't hold it in. If you want to vomit, vomit it right here and now. Otherwise, if you vomit in my office later, I can't promise that I won't do something to you."
After hearing his words, Jon finally couldn't bear it anymore. He held onto the side of the fireplace, retched for a while, and then vomited all over the place.
That is the most unscrupulous evil towards humans, the intolerable disgust.
