Chapter 283: Voldemort's Secret

Rolf and Dumbledore landed in the Pensieve, and when their feet touched the ground, they appeared on a dusty and dim staircase.

Not far away, there were three Aurors and a tall Dementor, escorting Crouch and his son down the stairs.

Rolf immediately recognized that this was Azkaban Prison.

A year ago, he came here with Minister Fudge to explore the lake where the Dementors were born, so he still had an impression.

The two of them followed and walked towards the black cell at the bottom.

The so-called black cell refers to a dark cell without any light. Once someone is taken there, it means that he will never see the sun or hear human voices again, and will suffer in torture forever.

In such a cruel environment, the prisoners are all wizards sentenced to life imprisonment!

Following Barty Crouch's memory, they came to the end of the stairs.

A gray, scabby hand stretched out from the Dementor's cloak. It held a bunch of keys, inserted them into the door lock, and opened an iron door.

The long-unopened chain made a "creaking" protest, and dust fell.

After the heavy iron door was opened, the group walked into a dark world.

The three Aurors' lit wands were the only light source at this time. The weak and swaying white light shone into the cell through the ancient iron bars, and many prisoners could be seen.

They were ragged, haggard, and skinny. Even if someone passed by, they would not look at them. They lay motionless on the ground like corpses.

These people became like this, in addition to the bad environment, but more importantly, it was because of the "eating" of the Death Eaters, which sucked them all into residue.

The Dementor floated forward, took the Aurors to the left, and entered another corridor.

The prisoners here seemed to recognize Barty Crouch. They all stood up and slapped the iron bars hard, making a loud noise at him.

Dumbledore looked at the prisoners, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Rolf, have you found the problem?"

"The mental state of the prisoners here is much better than those in front." Rolf pondered:

"When I came last year, they were not like this."

A year ago, Rolf and Kingsley came to this corridor together. He also had a "friendly exchange" with Bellatrix and gave her a few big dicks.

At that time, the prisoners in this corridor were not as energetic as they are now.

"It's really strange." Dumbledore was very satisfied with Rolf's sharpness. He said in a deep voice:

"If these prisoners were just locked up, their mental state might be very good, but the prisoners in this corridor are mostly Death Eaters who have been imprisoned for thirteen years. They shouldn't be like this now."

Just when the two were puzzled, the Dementor floated in front of a cell. After it opened the cell door, it sent Barty Crouch in.

Next to the cell, there was a man. He was short, thin like a scarecrow, with a rat face and deep-set eyes that looked like two black holes.

"Please, give me some water... please." The man begged in a hoarse voice.

A young Auror saw that the man was really pitiful. He hesitated for a moment, then took off the water bottle from his waist and handed it to him.

The man held the water bottle tightly with both hands, swallowed it hungrily, and the water flowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped into his beard.

"Eddie, we are forbidden to give any items to prisoners!" A middle-aged Auror with gray hair criticized harshly:

"You violated the regulations of Article 4, Article 8 of the Azkaban Code."

"Uncle..."

"What uncle?" The middle-aged Auror scolded: "How many times have I told you that you should call your position when you are working!"

"Yes, Mr. Captain." Eddie said flatteringly: "I will never dare to do it again."

Just as the Aurors were talking, Dumbledore looked at the man drinking water and asked: "Rolf, do you know who he is?"

Rolf shook his head.

"Rodolphus Lestrange." Dumbledore introduced: "He is Sirius's cousin."

Rolf was immediately interested when he heard this and looked at the man seriously.

It turned out that this man was Bellatrix's husband. I don't know if he knew that his wife had always deeply loved the Dark Lord.

If he could really meet Rodolphus one day, Rolf would definitely ask him about this matter in person.

After locking Barty Crouch in the cell, the Aurors took Barty Crouch Jr. to the cell opposite.

Next to that cell, there was a dark-skinned, thick-lipped woman. She was very thin, with a layer of skin wrapped around her skeleton. On her haggard face, there were two crazy black eyes.

The woman lay down beside the iron fence and said hoarsely:

"Barty Crouch, didn't you die a long time ago? I saw your body being dragged out that year, and I was sad for a long time. How come you are alive again?"

Barty Crouch looked up at the woman. He examined her for a moment and said uncertainly:

"You are... Bellatrix?!"

"It's me." Bella grinned, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and laughed: "How did you escape?"

Barty was about to explain, but the middle-aged Auror scolded: "Shut up, no communication between prisoners."

Bella laughed and said: "I know it even if you don't say it. It was Barty Crouch who sent you out, right?"

"You were caught by Rolf Scamander again and sent back again. Do you hate him? I will take you to kill that kid..."

Rolf was shocked when he heard Bella's words. Of course, he was shocked not because Bella wanted to kill him, but because she knew the ins and outs of Barty Crouch Jr....

Bellatrix was imprisoned in Azkaban, so how could she know so many things? !

The Auror was obviously aware of this. He was about to ask when he heard a scream behind him.

The middle-aged Auror looked back and found that his nephew Eddie was wailing and falling to the ground with blood on his hands.

It turned out that when Rodolphus returned the kettle, he suddenly grabbed Eddie's arm through the gap in the fence, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit off two of his fingers.

Rodolphus chewed his fingers, licked the blood in his mouth with his tongue, and laughed cruelly:

"Boy, this is the end of excessive compassion... hehehe!"

The remaining two Aurors took out their wands, but the next scene caught everyone by surprise:

Bella and Rodolphus also raised their wands, and the red light shot through the corridor. The two Aurors fainted on the ground before they could react.

Barty Crouch Jr. asked dully: "How... how did you get a wand?"

Bella did not answer, but looked humbly at the motionless Dementor and asked:

"Master... do you want to kill Barty Crouch?"

"No." A hoarse voice sounded from the Dementor's body.

"Killing Barty Crouch now will definitely alert Fudge. Use the Oblivion Spell to erase his memory."

"Yes." Bella took out a key, opened the cell door, and walked out.

The Dementor looked at Barty Crouch Jr., and suddenly opened its hood, revealing a terrifying face.

What was even more horrifying was that there was another face on the back of the Dementor's head:

It was as pale as chalk, with red eyes emitting light, and two snake-like nostrils below.

Voldemort asked in a hoarse voice:

"Barty Crouch Jr., long time no see, are you still as loyal to me as you were back then?"

Bellatrix walked to the front of the cell and pointed her wand at Barty Crouch.

Before Crouch passed out, he saw his son kneeling on the ground, kissing the Dementor's robe with a passionate look on his face, and he said excitedly:

"Master... I have always been your most loyal servant!"
