Chapter 1302 Three Maca
No one would have thought that Luna, who was walking downstairs with everyone beside her at this moment, was actually a fake. And no one would have thought that this person pretending to be Luna would actually be the future Maca.
But to be honest, Maca didn't think of the idea of replacing Luna with himself from the very beginning. Not to mention that it is easy to imagine, but the difficulty of pretending is not small.
Because of the tragic incident of Luna's death, as one of the protagonists, she was too close to Hermione, Delphi, and even Maca herself.
Among the three, Hermione had a sharp mind and Delphine had foresight. As for his own perception ability, it was a big problem.
It's a pity that it is not so easy to save Luna. The coercion of history and the constricting effect of time rules restrict his various choices one after the other.
He had already thought of many ways before, but after deliberation and calculation, none of them were safe.
You know, according to what Delphi said, there is very likely only one chance to go back in time to save Luna. If something goes wrong, the best outcome is probably that he returns home with a serious injury.
For this reason, he could only choose a plan that was most likely to save Luna. As long as Luna was replaced in advance, wouldn't it be 100% successful?
So no matter how difficult this method is, Maca still made up his mind.
"Luna, didn't you eat a lot just now? Why are you eating apples again now?"
Hearing that Hermione, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, Maca, who was thinking secretly, naturally raised the apple in his hand and shook it.
Then, I heard him imitate Luna's tone in a girl's voice, erratically but out of the ordinary:
"Hermione, do you want to eat too? I have one left here, I'll give it to you if you want it!"
"No, no need, you can keep it for yourself!" Hermione immediately waved her hand when she heard this, "Be careful with your step, don't wobble on the empty steps."
After shaking her head to herself, she turned her head and continued down the stairs without saying anything more.
Because she knew that once Luna's first sentence started to go off track, it would often go further and further away. Instead of continuing to talk to her, you might as well just let her go!
As soon as Maka, who was pretending to be Luna, knew that his action had had the desired effect, except for herself and Delphi at this time,
The one most likely to discover his identity was Hermione.
Therefore, Maca had to repeatedly lead her to gossip with herself, so that she could subconsciously confirm the identity of "Luna" repeatedly. In this way, even if she didn't pay attention later and made some actions that didn't look like Luna, she wouldn't be easily suspicious.
...
When "Luna" followed Hermione and others down to the hall on the first floor, everyone saw Maca talking with Akinbad near the front door.
At the same time, Maca, who had already noticed that the friends had come down, immediately turned around and nodded at them with a smile.
At this moment, it happened that when Akinbad led the support team of the federation to St. Mungo, he was telling Maca what he had heard and seen along the way.
Including the battle they encountered on the way, there were also some wounded in the team, and all of them were sent by their teammates to receive examination and treatment by the therapist.
Seeing this, Hermione and the others just walked around and stood still one after another, listening carefully.
In fact, there were many situations outside at this time that even Maca herself hadn't fully figured out at the time, let alone Hermione and the others.
When Aginbad finished speaking and everyone was still digesting secretly, Maca suddenly said:
"Okay, I see. Thank you all for coming to help, then I will leave this place to you first... I will take the remaining half of the people to Diagon Alley."
"Hey! Maca, wait..."
It was naturally Hermione who shouted at this time.
In fact, before Luna had an accident for her, she had already made a lot of psychological preparations for leaving St. Mungo's. Not to mention, besides looking for the Weasley brothers, she came to London this time to help out.
So even Harry was a beat behind her.
"We'll go with you too!" Hermione took a step forward, "I know, you have your own things to do, and you may not be able to keep us with you all the time...so you just need to take us to Diagon Alley. We will assist Sirius and the others ourselves while you face the bigger problems."
"you"
Maca at the door looked at Harry holding the Gryffindor sword, and saw that everyone, including "Luna", was holding a palm-sized runestone tablet in their hands, obviously a little helpless.
But behind the crowd, the other Maca who was disguised as Luna remained silent, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.
That's right, Hermione can use some tricks to moisten things, but when facing herself, the best way to deal with it is to not stand out. Otherwise, the probability of being detected as a problem will increase accordingly.
"Okay... But Hermione, when you get to Diagon Alley, remember to take out those slates of yours, and let the supporters of the Federation try it out!"
From Maca's point of view, if Hermione and Harry didn't meet Herbo, the strength of Hermione, Harry and the others would be quite enough. Especially Harry, after he was really familiar with the new fighting style, even he himself could not be underestimated.
So after agreeing to Hermione's request, he didn't say anything more at that time. In order to prevent Hai Erbo from running to threaten Hermione and the others, he was going to face each other in person, just like so many entanglements and confrontations in the past.
Seeing that Maca turned his head and went out after finishing speaking, Hermione and the others were stunned for a moment, but everyone didn't expect that it would be so easy to convince him this time.
But after being stunned, Hermione, who was the first to react, immediately trotted and chased him out. Secondly, Maca and Delphi, who turned into Luna, both followed, rushing out of St. Mungo's gate at the same time.
When they all reached the side of the street outside, they saw that Maka had already run to talk to the team of supporters staying on the street.
"...Then, thank you for your help again and again...Okay, that's it! Time is running out, let's set off now!"
"Wait, Maca!"
As for why Luna was so strange at that time, it seemed that even the magic fluctuations when Haierbo appeared around her were noticed almost at the same time as Maca.
It turned out that Luna at this moment was not Luna at all.
And at this moment, Maka, who was disguised as Luna, raised her eyes and looked at the opposite building. up.
When going back in time for the first time, Maca was very surprised by this "coincidence", but in the research and calculation after that, he finally turned this most confusing point into one of the plans.
No matter if it was the real Luna, would she still look at him, as long as he turned the Luna back then into himself, wouldn't everything be logical?
Even later, Luna unexpectedly predicted Haierbo's actions again and again, as if all doubts could be explained together.
"Hermione, take someone back quickly! Immediately..."
"Go back!"
When "Luna" was successfully implementing the second step of the secretly planned plan, at this time Maca had already whispered to Hermione who ran to her side... Although Hai Erbo hadn't shown up directly, the fluctuation of magic power was still there. There seemed to be nothing, but the breath that made him feel extremely familiar was not fake.
"Luna, hurry up, you go back first"
By the window of the department store at the entrance of St. Mungo's, "Luna" was still repeating and confirming the next step in her mind, but she didn't expect that Harry seemed to want to let her go in first.
Was it because his attention was almost focused on finding the location of Haierbo at that time, and he barely found time to ask Hermione to take people back to St. Mungo's, so he missed Harry's words?
I don't know if this is the reason, Maca only knows that he really doesn't seem to remember this stubble.
However, how about letting him, the next "protagonist", go back first? If "Luna" is not present, not to mention that his preparations will be in vain, and it is very likely that the time rule will be forcibly interfered.
Even if he had already judged that Luna's incident might not trigger closure, it was only a possibility. Before he can fully test the upper limit, he dare not take the slightest risk in this regard.
"No, you advanced!"
Immediately, Maka, who was pretending to be Luna, immediately grabbed Harry's arm and forced him into the entrance without even giving him room to speak.
After driving all the other friends back to St. Mungo's Hall, a question suddenly came to Maca's mind.
"This entrance...what to do?"
Of course Maca still remembered that at that time, the entrance was suddenly closed at some point in the middle, and it was either Haierbo or Delphi who did it.
And since the latter did not mention that she was the one who blocked the entrance when he confessed to him, then...
"Could it be that I did it?"
Seeing that the entrance still had no intention of closing it, and Hermione was already coming this way behind him, Maca had no choice but to put a magic spell on the window glass as carefully as possible.
"Luna, what's the matter? Why don't you go in?"
"Well... suddenly I can't get in."
As soon as Hermione ran to the back, she immediately asked. After hearing "Luna"'s answer, her expression changed suddenly, and she hurried up and knocked on the glass twice.
"bang bang"
Immediately afterwards, she said anxiously with a look of astonishment:
"What's going on? Why... the entrance can't be opened!"
The next second, Maka, who was still in the middle of the road, immediately looked back and saw Hermione and Luna at the door, Pansy not far away, and the windbreaker wizard who seemed to be carefully protecting them.
