Chapter 402 The Werewolf Inferi Incident

"It's you who won't have any more luck!"

"Give up resistance and return to Azkaban where you belong!"

"..."

Following a group of werewolves, Loren and Hermione, who were invisible, saw clearly the three people fighting. The one standing on the left was a tall woman with a thick jaw, thin lips, thick eyelids and thick long eyelashes. Her black curly hair looked a bit messy.

"Bellatrix Lestrange! Why are you here?"

The werewolf leader Taylor Lautner asked in shock. The werewolves next to him had complicated expressions. After some brothers starved to death last winter, it was this crazy woman who gave them a batch of food and old clothes to keep out the cold.

They all knew that it was a ploy to manipulate them, so while they were grateful for her rescue, they couldn't help but think that if the supplies could have been taken out earlier, many people would not have died.

Lupine took half a step back and stood with Jimmy, avoiding the sight of the three people in front of him. He looked like an ordinary werewolf.

Whether it was Bellatrix Lestrange or the Longbottoms, they had all met each other during the last Wizarding War, and there was a possibility of being recognized. Even though he had made some disguises, he still did not dare to rush forward. forward.

Bellatrix...

The ferret took off Loren's clothes and carefully observed the Death Eater who had long admired his fame.

"Who are you?"

The man in the couple looked at them warily. The man just called out the name of the Death Eater, which made him feel a little heavy, but he still said forcefully: "The Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic are hunting down the fugitives, and we have already conducted a search at the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Report, irrelevant personnel please leave immediately!"

The couple leaned together, their fighting stance ensuring they could cope with the spells coming from all directions.

Loren looked at the Longbottoms from a distance. The last time he saw them was at St. Goman's Hospital. Compared with the state when she was hospitalized, Neville's mother Alice had improved a lot. There was more flesh on her face and she looked It is rounder, and the eyes are no longer so protruding, and the roots of the dry white hair have become black and shiny again.

Neville's father Frank's swelling has subsided, his unhealthy pale face has become darker, and he looks capable and energetic.

Judging from the status of the three of them, the battle should have just begun. Both sides are in good condition, with plenty of magic power, concentration, and no fatigue from over-casting spells.

"us……"

Hearing the male Auror's question, Taylor Lautner hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

A meaningful smile appeared on Bellatrix Lestrange's face, and she said slowly in a weird tone: "Oh, it seems that good luck is on my side. Just now you bullied the few with more. ,Now……"

She stared at the Longbottoms with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Taylor frowned: "We have no intention of participating in your battle. I don't think it is a wise decision to confront the Auror."

"It's so indifferent." Bellatrix turned her eyes to the werewolves, "I think it's because it's summer, right? You can find enough food in the trash can to feed your wolf pups. There’s no need to worry about them freezing to death.”

Bellatrix's words caused humiliating anger to appear on the werewolf's face, but he was unable to make any rebuttal.

"When you are full, your voice will be louder when you speak, but maybe you should think about it for next winter..."

Bellatrix glanced at them, and the werewolves avoided looking at her. Lupine also kept his head lowered, looking like an ordinary werewolf, "Still, when you expect to starve to death at Christmas, Will the Aurors take pity on you and give you some scraps from the sumptuous Christmas banquet?"

Taylor Lautner's brows were knitted together, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

Frank and Alice stood close together and glanced back calmly. It was a dead end blocked by a gate. They had not paid attention when they were chasing Bellatrix Lestrange and followed the phantom. The traces of the Apparition followed.

There is no way to retreat now, and it is very risky to forcefully apparate away. If the surrounding space is disturbed, their bodies may be torn apart.

After hearing their conversation, the Longbottoms had already figured out that these people were all werewolves, but they didn't know which ones were expelled to this country by the "Anti-Werewolf Act" and which ones were native werewolves.

Frank coughed, attracting everyone's attention:

"Don't listen to her, everyone, don't get involved with her!"

"She is a dangerous Death Eater, an accomplice of the mysterious man, and a criminal on the international wanted list. If you help her, you will be going against the British Ministry of Magic and the magical governments around the world!"

Alice observed them and saw that their expressions did not change, so she understood that these werewolves should know Bellatrix's true identity. She took Frank's words and changed her way of advice:

"Everyone, the International General Conference of Wizards is about to be held, and there will be a resolution on the "Anti-Werewolf Act" at the conference! Currently, the Ministry of Magic in many countries intends to revoke the "Anti-Werewolf Act". If you are now involved with Death Eaters, , will also be regarded as a Death Eater. By then, the "Anti-Werewolf Act" may become an internationally accepted law like the "Act of Secrecy"."

"Think about it, think about your relatives, think about your children..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bellatrix's sharp laughter interrupted her advice, and she sarcastically said: "Yes, think about your relatives and your children. Without me, they will all starve to death this winter!"

"Don't listen to her!"

Alice hurriedly advised: "The Magical Congress of the United States of America intends to recruit you to form a special Auror unit. This behavior may be extended to other countries, and then you will be able to live a normal life!"

"..."

Looking at the three people arguing in front of them, Loren found it interesting that the Longbottoms were indeed a famous Auror couple. They did not panic when they were about to be besieged. One person threatened and the other comforted them.

However, their behavior seems more like buying time than arguing...

It seems that there is a back-up plan.

Before the werewolves could make a decision, more than a dozen twisted and transparent ripples appeared in the space of the underground pipes. The colors of clothes and skin spread from the ripples. After a period of twisting and twisting, a dozen Aurors in uniforms appeared. Underground pipeline.

As soon as they appeared in neat single-breasted long trench coats, the hems of their clothes hung down into the sewage water in the sewer. Water traces filled with an indescribable smell climbed up along the clothes, and several Aurors' faces became ugly.

The leading Auror nodded to the Longbottoms and said, "Sorry Frank, sorry Alice, you are chasing us too fast and we can't keep up. We can only go back to the headquarters to confirm your position before coming here."

Frank had a relaxed smile on his face: "It's okay, it's not too late."

Seeing that something was wrong, Bellatrix immediately threw out a gray spell, but the target was not anyone present, but the gate behind the Longbottoms.

Out of stock?

Everyone looked at Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Stop them for a while!"

The crazy female Death Eater left only one sentence, turned around, and disappeared into the underground pipes with the sound of explosions in the air.

Frank was about to pursue along the traces of space, but saw the werewolf leader taking a step forward, frowning and asking: "Are you really going to stop us?"

Taylor Lautner shook her head and motioned for them to look back.

Click——

There was a slight breaking sound, and the gray curse left by Bellatrix before leaving was slowly corroding the gate. Dirty underground sewage spurted out along the cracks. At first, it was just a small flow of water, and the cracks gradually grew. The water flow also gradually increased.

When the gap opened into a hollow, a haggard and dark corpse flowed out of the hollow along the water.

"Werewolf, corpse..."

Jimmy Bell murmured.

It was a werewolf covered in black fur. The sharp nails shone coldly on the tips of his claws. The terrifying fangs protruded from the upper and lower lips. His flesh and blood were withered. Dragging his tattered clothes, he slowly stood up from the dark water. , with sunken eyes open.

"It's the werewolf inferi!"

Frank shouted sharply, and immediately cast a petrification spell to freeze the werewolf inferi.

But the hole in the gate was getting bigger and bigger, more werewolf inferi crawled out of it, and the cold water level gradually rose. Before long, there were more werewolf inferi in the underground pipes than living people.

Looking up, there were wet, dark heads and claws emerging from the dark water everywhere. Men, women, and children were all floating towards them with sunken eyes.

In the dark sewage, a large number of werewolf corpses slowly stood up.

The Aurors quickly retreated, leaving the werewolves headed by Taylor to face the inferi. They stood there and stared at the werewolves. Even Lupine and Jimmy were in a daze.

"It turns out that this is what it looks like..."

Jimmy said softly that most of the memories of becoming a werewolf are vague. They will not look in the mirror when they lose their mind, and no one will take photos of them. Most werewolves have never seen the true face of a werewolf.

Now seeing these werewolf inferi getting closer, they had an indescribable feeling.

Taylor Lautner and others let the werewolf corpse crawl on them and drag them down hard. The movement was very slow. Sometimes the corpses were entangled with each other and fell into the water. They stood up quickly and continued to move slowly. The ground is moving.

Lupine's eyes showed a sad and melancholy glimmer, and at Jimmy's reminder, he dragged the others back.

"[Tongtong Petrochemical]"

"[Retreat the enemy three feet]"

"[Many obstacles]"

"[Quick Binding]"

"..."

The Aurors did not dare to let the Inferi touch them and constructed a defensive line of magic, which temporarily blocked the werewolf Inferi from moving forward.

But the water level is getting higher and higher, reaching their knees. Everyone present knows that it won't be long before these inferi float away along the current, along the sewer pipes to all parts of New York, and crawl out of the sewers. .

Someone tried the freezing spell, but it was very difficult to freeze the flowing water. It was difficult to freeze a wall, and countless werewolf inferi easily smashed the ice.

"Let's go back and notify the headquarters to block the underground pipeline as soon as possible!"

The Aurors who came here were only operational operators and did not have much experience in handling emergencies. When they were in a panic, their first thought was to return to the headquarters.

Frank and Alice looked at each other. They wanted to stay, but they also knew that returning to the Woolworth Building was the right choice. After a brief exchange, the Aurors quickly left the scene with a flash of Apparition.

"You guys should get out of here quickly!" Alice said to Taylor and others.

The werewolf inferi did not pose much of a threat to the infected werewolves. Taylor and Lupine were not very panicked. Some of the members could not apparate, and there were still others who had not recovered, so the group had to stumble back.

Not long after, only Loren and Hermione were left in the underground pipes, and the water flow became more and more violent, and the werewolf inferi got closer and closer to them.

The ferret appeared in mid-air, its two short little paws touching its transparent shoulders, and it slowly transformed back into its human form.

"Are we going to find Professor Dumbledore?"

"The Aurors will inform."

Loren looked at the werewolf corpse floating in the water. The werewolf's alien magic power was imprisoned in the body by another kind of magic power. As he thought, maintaining the werewolf form after death did not last long. It was a breakthrough in the second kind of magic power. Despite the restrictions, Loren had never seen this kind of magic. It was somewhat similar to Voldemort's ghost smoke, but more evil.

Observing with magic vision gives people a chilling feeling.

Hermione watched the water level getting higher and higher, almost reaching her waist. The sticky wet feeling clung to her skin, her hair stood on end, and goosebumps uncontrollably popped out.

But she resisted and did not leave immediately, even though the Aurors had already tried, Hermione still wanted to try.

"[Many obstacles]"

"[Tongtong Petrochemical]"

"..."

Werewolf fur is incredibly resistant to magic, and if the spell is applied to them, they will soon be freed.

Hermione decided to think differently, took a deep breath and waved her wand.

On the garbage floating on the water surface affected by the transformation spell, the shapeless wet carton began to expand and rumbled into boulders with rough edges. One or two corpses around were squeezed against the pipe by the boulders and scattered into broken corpses. , almost no blood flowed out, probably because the process of preparing the Inferi was drained.

There were bones and stubble in the gray and yellow muscles, which made Hermione look pale.

And the boulder did not block the underground pipe as she thought. The water pressure on the other side continued to build up, and the werewolf corpses piled up, scratching the stone with their sharp claws.

Chaba… Chaba…

It didn't take long for Hermione to be unable to maintain the transformation spell, and the boulder returned to a wet cardboard box and was torn to pieces. The blocked water flow turned into waves and crashed over. Under the waves lurked the Inferi that were ready to move.

Loren quickly cast a barrier spell to slow down the water waves, and pulled Hermione back a short distance in a blink of an eye.

After several repetitions, the approaching speed of the werewolf inferi slowed down again.

Hermione pursed her lips into a straight line and turned to look at him: "Is there anything else I can do, Loren?"

Loren twirled her wand, lost in thought.

There is water flow obstruction, conventional magic has little effect on werewolf inferi, and this is in an underground pipeline, and there is no telling whether there is methane in the air. If he rashly uses explosive spells or sets off powerful fires, he is worried that he will be killed before the werewolf inferi. Got a big one for New York.

If the battlefield is counted after the war, the damage caused by the werewolf inferi is not as great as his, then it will be unclear.
