Chapter 916 Escape
As if he had been struck by the most powerful Cruciatus Curse, endless pain hit his soul like a tidal wave every second, making the extremely mentally tough Graves want to scream on the ground, but when he took the elevator to the floor where the security department was located, In a short period of time, Graves, who was pale in the restaurant, turned as red as blood——
It seemed that many earthworm-like blood worms suddenly appeared under his skin. These things crawling under his skin seemed to be devouring his flesh and blood, making the tall and strong Graves withered!
Most of the work of the Aurors in the Security Department is in the field. There are not many people who stay in the office to write materials. Now it happens to be the time to get off work, and the office is empty. This is why Graves was lucky enough to save the job. own secret.
He almost ran towards his office at a sprint speed. After a green light flashed in the fireplace, Graves had left the Woolworth Building and appeared in his secret safe house.
boom!
The dazzling red light exploded the niche containing the alchemical instruments, and the magic books and potions were blown out.
Graves let out a low growl like a hungry wolf. He rushed towards the potion that could suppress his pain as if he had been dry for several days. His rationality was on the verge of collapse and he could not even pull out the cork from the bottle. Instead, he opened his teeth that had become sharp at some point and bit down hard on the glass bottle he held in his hand——
Click!
When the bottle exploded, a column of gray blood flowed from his mouth, but Graves ignored the insignificant pain. He roared and swallowed the scattered potion, not even caring that he swallowed many pieces. Glass shards!
boom--
After a few breaths, Graves fell on the wooden floor that was illuminated by the dim candlelight.
The pain this time was particularly long. Even after drinking the potion, the pain caused by the curse continued, but his withered body did get better, and his skin color returned to health again.
Well--
A trickle of water still flowed from deep inside Graves' mouth and nose, dyeing his already messy white shirt red. His neatly styled gray hair was also scattered, dyed dark brown by the blood on the floor.
After about ten minutes, the twitching body finally calmed down, but Graves did not get up. He just lay on the cold floor, staring resentfully at a large piece of broken glass in front of him--
The shards of glass reflected the mess on his face, and some changes were engraved on his face forever.
There is no doubt that the dark red under his eyes has deepened, his hair has become more gray than it has been in half an hour, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are deep. Although the teeth stained red by blood have returned to some of their original shape, they appear much sharper than those of normal people.
"I have no time"
After a long time, I remembered a dejected whisper in the study room where I could hear the drop of a needle,
"There is no way to eliminate all threats. I can only do this--"
Woo--
As the night gets darker, huge luxury cruise ships carry tourists from all over the world to visit the East River. Passing under the Brooklyn Bridge, the low but penetrating whistle of the cruise ship attracts people from the shore and the bridge. A kind of envious gaze.
The luxury cruise ship cast a brilliant light on the lake, and the looming laughter and melodious music of the people gathered all the eyes. No one noticed that when the cruise ship passed under the bridge, on the pier thirty feet away, a The languid-looking man emerged from the water.
Wow--
The lake water late at night still had a bit of the coldness of early spring. The man who struggled to climb up to the platform at the bottom of the bridge pier was shivering from the cold. Of course, his pale cheeks were not only caused by the cold; The wounds all over his body.
The man did not show any luck because he was out of the river. On the contrary, when he noticed that the wounds on his body were bleeding out, and the blood mixed with the water dripping from his wet clothes and flowed into the river, he looked full of pain. Exuding a hint of awe.
He knew that this would leave a loophole, and those ruthless guys would follow the loophole to find him and take his life.
hiss--
Every tiny movement was accompanied by the pain of tearing wounds, but the man had no choice. He raised his hand and took out the wand from his mouth. He waved it tremblingly a few times, and the wisps of bright red that had blended with the river water appeared. They came together under the influence of magic and condensed into a blood ball reflecting the neon light.
In the deep-colored river, a largemouth bass swam in front of the man. He gasped a few times. The man controlled the blood beads sealed by magic and submerged them into the mouth of the largemouth bass that came out for air. The frightened bass immediately Mengzi plunged into the water and swam quickly away.
This can buy some time - the man thought while looking at the air conditioner while healing his wounds.
It is still unwise to stay here. Those cold guys will soon find them with their keen sense of smell. Although he is exhausted to the point of unconsciousness, he still grits his teeth and cheers up -
boom--
After the thump in the rippling sound of the melting river, the man disappeared on the bridge pier
And everything was as he expected. Just a few minutes after he left, the river reflected the colorful neon lights, and a group of wizards in black cloaks and riding broomsticks flew along the river. They had not yet gone far. The cruise ship was suddenly nailed under the Brooklyn Bridge and stuck in mid-air.
The leader only showed a pair of sinister eyes. He stared at the bridge pier that the man had just built and moved his nose.
"He stayed here."
A cold voice came from under the hood, and the well-trained subordinates behind him just listened quietly without making any noise.
"He rested here for a while, but soon left again--"
The leading wizard continued, moving his nose, with a trace of confusion between his eyebrows, but seeing the sparkling river water below him, he was relieved immediately,
"He went back underwater again, thinking that this would cover up the smell of blood. It is indeed very light, but some traces can still be detected. Let's go, we must eliminate this threat."
After that, the group left again.
Late at night in the 75th block of Brooklyn, the night may be more active here than the day, and the sporadic gunshots did not stop until the moon was at its zenith.
In the dark streets filled with a strong stench from the sludge from the sewers, several men carrying Muggle guns and with skulls tattooed on their arms and necks walked towards the base - a small warehouse full of auto parts and sundries, with their arms and necks linked together, spitting out alcohol and cursing.
"These sons of bitches, don't think they can take over our territory just because they killed the big black star!"
The man who led the way, weighing at least 200 pounds, kicked open the iron door of the warehouse with a clang. It seemed like a frightened guard hound barked wildly after several people came in, and it was greeted by a burst of bullets and a loud laugh after seeing it flee in panic.
The hazy moonlight flowed into the dark warehouse the moment the door opened, casting bizarre light and shadows on the ground on the car frames piled up to the roof in the front half of the warehouse, while the back half of the warehouse was still hidden in the deep darkness.
"Hey, boss, do you feel something is wrong?"
A skinny drunk wearing a black jacket with iron rings and steel nails and a lip stud on his lips suddenly moved his sensitive nose. In the pungent smell of engine oil, he smelled a breath that made him feel uneasy. Before others could answer his question, a dark pool of water on the ground in front of him made him feel goosebumps all over his body, and his drunkenness disappeared in an instant!
"Damn bitch!"
The skinny man suddenly shouted, and under the dizzy eyes of the others, he pointed his machine gun at the depths of the warehouse,
"Get out of here!"
Bang!
The sudden bang scared the drunks so much that they almost picked up the machine gun and fired a burst of shots, but the little remaining reason told them that if they did so, they might die first.
The iron door closed without any sign, allowing darkness to dominate here again. In the darkness, there seemed to be some strange movement approaching.
A strong smell of blood——
The thin Muggle who had some talent smelled it. He suddenly picked up the gun and rushed to the depths of the warehouse, but his shout was cut off by a flash of blue light before he left his voice!
The terrified and painful howling, the panicked and weak gunshots, the rapid and harsh hammering of the door intertwined in the warehouse, but they all ended under the shrill curse lights. When all the sounds subsided, the confined iron door finally opened again, and a staggering step stepped over the Muggles lying on the ground and stood in the pale moonlight.
Gunshots were still heard from time to time a block away, and the prosperity and civilization of New York seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
Sato Ryuhei held the door frame of the iron door, panting and looking at the glittering high-rise buildings under the night sky, but there was a hint of hysteria in his exhausted eyes.
How can we get rid of the current predicament?
