Chapter 368 Imprisoning Self, Grindelwald

Explosive spells and stun spells suddenly erupted in the tall main hall of the Ministry of Magic, and the staff who had worked hard to work the night shift suddenly became confused.

However, the Aurors and Strikers had already received news of the possible attacker, and the elite wizards did not panic and immediately blocked the incoming curse.

Moreover, in order to control a few more people, Sean's spells were very weak, to the extent that the person under the spell could get rid of them on their own after more than ten hours.

But Sean doesn't need these ordinary employees to conquer the Ministry of Magic for himself. He just needs to create chaos with enough momentum.

Not for killing, just for destruction and publicity, this is still very simple for an adult wizard.

Therefore, even if few people were injured, the entire main hall was still in chaos. Moreover, due to the changing situation and frequent accidents during this period, everyone was working with a tightrope. The sudden attack caused ordinary people to panic. The staff became frightened.

The Ministry of Magic was suddenly in chaos.

Over there in the elevator, part of the main Auror force was dealing with the few ordinary employees who suddenly went crazy, and part of them was trying to cover the men in suits as they retreated to a safer place. They were worried that there would be more serious attacks in the future.

The Auror disguised as Sean immediately put on a serious expression and ran over from his guard position to help cover up.

The crowd was in chaos, but the man in the suit and the man in black robe hidden in his body were still protected.

Sean sneaked into the inside of the team, defending while moving closer to the opponent.

Until he was close enough, he whispered in a hoarse voice: "A whisper..."

Sure enough, just as he expected, the man in the suit immediately looked at him calmly.

Sean complained secretly in his heart. Sure enough, Dumbledore never did such meaningless things. This password that was different from his usual style was also a reminder to him...

Seeing that the other party was no longer guarded, Sean moved closer and whispered: "I received news from Mr. Dumbledore that Grindelwald is on his way here with his people..."

The man in the suit looked surprised. He turned his head slightly and looked at his collar.

Sean continued calmly: "It's not safe here. Evacuate first...Mr. Dumbledore has given instructions."

After that, he ran towards a room at the corner.

The man in the suit whispered to himself: "The command is correct... Do you want to follow?"

A hoarse voice behind him said: "Follow me. When it comes to Grindelwald, Dumbledore can be trusted..."

If Sean could hear this conversation, he would probably never understand how these people could trust Dumbledore so much.

The man in the suit watched Sean run into a room. He whispered to the people around him: "Watch."

When he pushed open the room and walked in, he saw that the person who led him into the room was holding a strange vessel in his hand, like a huge ring, and the top turned into a dark hole, even covering the other person. head.

"Mr. Dumbledore has something to say to you two." Sean said in a deep voice.

And his wand has been quietly pointed at the other party. To be precise, it is pointed at the high-collared trench coat of the man in the suit.

You two? The hidden man in black robe had a slightly stern look in his eyes.

It seemed that the other party was really one of Dumbledore's people... A little errand boy didn't know the identity of their returnee, and they had been hiding it very well.

But, look at this? Could it be some kind of magic prop for long-distance communication?

Thinking in his heart, the man in black robe is not too vigilant. It's not that he completely trusts the other party, but the nature of his body determines everything - most of the magic spells have no effect on the ghost's body. any effect.

This is the unique advantage of their returnees. They have powerful power and are immune to most spells. Even if this is a trap, he is confident of escaping - unless Grindelwald comes in person.

As for what will happen to the man in the suit, that is not within the scope of his concern. If this kind of tool man dies, just replace him with another one.

Or maybe it's the madman Tom Riddle who was rescued by them. That guy is very knowledgeable about souls and should have a way to deal with special life forms like them.

Thinking like this, the man in black robe's translucent gray-black eyes were revealed, and then he and the man in the suit looked at the strange prop that the other party took out.

A huge orange-yellow vertical pupil appeared in their field of vision.

"Pa-ta-" The body of the man in the suit fell softly to the ground.

And another translucent pure black ghost was also "squeezed" out of his body.

"Stupidly confident..." Sean muttered and put away his wand.

Just like Gormlaith Gaunt before, she was too vigilant due to her special semi-ghost state.

Sean didn't look any further. He picked up the thick pile of parchment on the ground and glanced at it. After confirming that the information on it was correct, he directly put a corpse and a ghost that could not die again into the ring.

Sure enough, as Dumbledore said, there are obstacles, but they are not big. As long as I am well prepared, this is not difficult.

The old man must have expected all this, and his wrong information must have been passed on to the returnees... Sean muttered to himself.

Then, without lingering any longer, he contacted a shadow insect he was hiding in the corner and disappeared from the spot.

Outside the room, the guard was listening to the report from his subordinates.

"All those who caused the riot have been subdued. They are all employees of the ministry. They have all been controlled by the Imperius Curse, but the control is very small. It is speculated that the time for the Imperius Curse was very short, maybe just a few hours ago."

"I understand...go and report to the minister and ask for a search warrant. Everyone will be inspected tonight."

"Yes, I understand."

After his subordinates left, the leading Auror glanced at the room behind him.

Of course he knew the man in the suit. He was a close subordinate of the minister. He seemed to have taken someone to the Department of Mysteries this time, but he did not see the second person.

However, this is not within the scope of his consideration. He only needs to complete the order.

However, he and his team members waited around, but no one came out.

"Boss, something doesn't seem right?"

He pondered for a moment: "Go in and take a look."

With a "clang", the door was pushed open, but to everyone's surprise, the room was empty.

"problem occurs……"

…

Sean had no intention of worrying about the Ministry of Magic's subsequent actions. He had already left there.

At this time, he was turning into a ball of black smoke and quickly passed over London.

"That ghost's body carries the same power as my origin..." Black particles surrounded Sean, and thoughts came to him.

"Is it the same as the Gormlaith Gaunt you devoured before?" Sean asked Obscurus.

Moran put the black particles into the ring again and felt it. After a moment, he replied: "It's very similar, but the power in this ghost is more... pure? Oh, by the way, it's the same as that terrifying big mouth. The power revealed is very similar.”

The mouth of silence... Sean nodded silently.

As he had guessed, the power of the returnees had gone through some kind of "refining" process.

"Can you absorb this power?" he asked again.

Obscurus' thoughts seemed a little cheerful: "Yes, Obscurus tolerates all things."

"Okay, suck that thing dry for me."

By the time Sean returned to Hogwarts, Obscurus had absorbed all the power in the returnee's body, and Sean also received a lot of benefits.

He can get more power from the Obscurus, and it is easier to control.

After just a small try, Sean was surprised to find that not only his left hand, but also his upper left body could become silent.

"Hiss, this is a super nourishing potion..." Sean looked at the dark, floating ghost in the ring with some eager eyes.

The dark power in that man's body has been completely absorbed, so he has returned to a pure ghost state, just like Gormlaith Gaunt.

Two jet-black ghosts were floating in Sean's ring a dozen centimeters above the ground.

The appearance of the man in black robes can also be clearly distinguished. He is a middle-aged man with no features, a lot of hair, and his chest is torn apart - this should represent the way he died.

However, Sean's attention at this moment has been completely transferred to the thick pile of parchment.

Entering the Room of Requirement, he first looked at the Vanishing Cabinet, then spread out the parchment.

This information is divided into three parts, one is the autobiography of the silent person Heloise Mintab who returned five centuries ago, the other is the analysis of the autobiography by the silent person at the Ministry of Magic at the time, and finally One is important information about time travel that the Ministry of Magic has accumulated over a long period of time.

"Preliminary preparations for returning to five centuries ago"

Sean read the first information.

The torch flickered in the Room of Requirement, and the only sounds left were the rustle of parchment being turned and the tapping of fingers on the table.

When the night sky, which had gone from normal to abnormal and then back to normal, gradually faded away from its plain-colored blouse, and there was a hint of fish-belly white on the horizon that was no different from usual, Sean raised his head.

"Huh..." He exhaled a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes trembling slightly.

"What the hell..."

Sean cursed secretly, and then asked the magical animals a question that he never had time to ask.

"How many snowflakes did the landscape ball fall in total?"

"A total of two hundred and eight pieces...we have counted many, many, many times." Cat Leopard Pudding replied immediately.

Sean took another deep breath.

Two hundred and nine pieces, that means that the Gellert Grindelwald he has known has been living for a full two hundred and nine years!

As far as Sean knows, Grindelwald was born in 1882!

Grindelwald lived until this year, 1994, so he should be only 112 years old.

And this is an extra ninety-seven years...

Sean gasped violently.

The old man he knew well and regarded as his teacher was not the Grindelwald in this timeline at all!

The other party should have used a time turner to go back to 1899!

So, based on this time, the other party did not travel through this time at all——

Grindelwald, from a future he has not yet touched - 1996!

The other party traveled back from 1996 to 1899, and then...

This was the point that made Sean almost tremble.

After traveling such a long distance in time, he did not return to his own time node, but...

Life has come to this point!

Then, the man who had been imprisoned in the underground prison of Nurmengard with a magic text diagram and an invisibility cloak also surfaced...

If all the reasoning is correct, the man who has been imprisoned for nearly a hundred years.

This is the real Grindelwald at this point in time!

Sean gasped uncontrollably.

Because he stayed up all night, his face became paler, and large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

Grindelwald himself...imprisoned himself!

Through the information from the Ministry of Magic, Sean finally learned some truth about the time travel accident, and also understood some of the reasons why the world was so disturbed.

Time travel basically requires the use of a time turner. In order to strictly control time travel, the Ministry of Magic fixed magic on the hourglass, and the energy in the hourglass is only enough to support use for a period of time.

But in the autobiography of Eloise Mintab, it was mentioned that if you can convert enough magic power into a time turner, you can go back to the extremely distant past.

The reason why Héloïse Mintab came back after only five days was because the magic power was not enough.

Yes, even if the Ministry of Magic at that time used unknown means to convert a magic power known as "frightening the world", that magic power was not enough to support Héloïse Mintab's life in the distant past. Until she lived well until now.

At the same time, she herself does not have such strong power to support the aging of her body.

In other information, accidents that may be caused by long-distance time travel are highlighted.

According to Sean's own understanding, this world is unique and there is no parallel world. The time turner only allows a person to return to the past of this timeline.

This means one thing, and it is also recognized by most people, that traveling to the past cannot change history.

This is why the Ministry of Magic has strict control over the Time-Turner.

People can go back to the past, but they cannot modify the past and thereby change history. The basic meaning is that our world is the end result of something that has changed.

And once this law is broken, it will cause extremely serious consequences.

The world will spontaneously modify this changed history.

Héloïse Mintab only stayed for five days, which caused time confusion on the real timeline, including the shortening and lengthening of the day.

At least twenty-five wizards who were supposed to exist were even confirmed to have disappeared without a trace.

And Grindelwald...

Travel to the distant future and live for nearly a hundred years!
