Chapter 1344 Muriel, Who Should Have Died but Not Died
Things like "a huge monument suddenly appeared in a Muggle city" seem to be no big deal in today's chaotic situation.
The "strategic retreat" initiated by Maca included not only the many wizards who were fighting in downtown London, but also Muggles as much as possible.
Over at Buckingham Palace, the old Bishop Davidson and Kingsley had already contacted the Muggle Prime Minister and continued to use the army to systematically rescue the Muggle residents in downtown London.
So in theory, as long as Maca buys more time for London, the final or future losses can be reduced.
It's just that now, it is impossible to completely eliminate the fear of loss.
"It's a matter of more or less."
While struggling to keep moving at a high speed, Maca thought secretly in his heart, and finally couldn't help but muttered to himself:
"However... it is always good to have fewer people hurt."
Maca, who was running at high speed, thought about it, and suddenly made a wrong foot and jumped out to the side. Almost at the same time, that black figure suddenly appeared near the position where he changed direction, and his fists tore apart the afterimage that had stayed there for a short time due to the slight deceleration with a violent cracking sound.
"Tsk...it's really difficult!"
Although Delphi had described various changes about the future to him earlier, it was impossible for Delphi, who was only a one-year-old child at the time, to really understand the details of the beginning of the disaster.
In fact, let alone Delphi, even other people who have experienced this disaster, it is obviously difficult to get in touch with the core information of the disaster, such as Hai Erbo and the demon summoning ceremony.
Because most of the people who really came into contact with it died.
Therefore, until now, Maca has personally felt the strength of this "demon" that has hardly been recorded in history.
Undoubtedly, apart from his short-term speed and reaction ability, he seems to have nothing to compete with the opponent!
"So, it's no wonder that ancient wizards would completely classify demon summoning as a taboo...Have demons been summoned in the past? Then, how did the wizards at that time solve it? Purely relying on the strength of a strong man? "
Maca's mind was never idle for a moment while running wildly.
But after all, there is so little information that I haven't figured out why from the beginning until now.
Needless to say, he didn't even know what this "devil" was!
a moment later...
"Very good, it's almost finished." He suddenly looked around and said to himself, "It's just that, if it takes a while, I may not be able to maintain this speed anymore... let's do it now!"
...
In fact, in Maca's heart, there is still a question that needs to be solved urgently, that is, the "black demon" that is chasing and killing him at the moment... Is it Hai Erbo himself?
Although he tried several times overtly or covertly, nothing came out, and even his fighting style was quite different from Haierbo in the past. But even so, he still couldn't fully determine the identity of the other party.
However, since the so-called "demon" has already appeared, there are only a few possibilities on this issue.
Is Hai Erbo occupying the demon's body? Or did the demon backfire on Hai Erbo, who is the summoner? Or else, Haierbo found that he couldn't control this surprisingly strong guy at all, so he just got out of the way?
These three guessing directions of Maca are obviously possible, and in fact, this is indeed the case. When Maca was leading the demons to run around in the neighborhood and seemed to be trying to do something, Haierbo's spiritual will also quietly "woke up" in the chaos...
"Here is... where?"
Haierbo, who had just woken up from a coma, only felt that his whole body was light and light, as if he was lying in the clouds high in the sky.
He couldn't move, but even if he didn't open his eyes, he could "see" the surrounding scene—it looked like an endless mist like rain and fog.
Yes, there is nothing around, only him.
"What's going on? Could it be... I'm dead?"
After a short pause, he couldn't help talking to himself:
"...No, absolutely impossible! My Horcrux is still intact, there is absolutely no way I will just die like that!"
Haierbo still vaguely remembered that he should have been fighting that black demon before that. And when he sensed the other party's magic wave suddenly emerging from behind, a gust of wind also blew towards the back of his head.
And then... since he hadn't been able to dodge in time, it was obvious how he would end up - he was blown out of the head by that demon's punch.
"Ah! So, it should be at that time that my soul left the damaged body, and then took the initiative to invade the body of the demon... It was only because I was too weak at that time that I couldn't leave a specific memory."
For the state of his own soul, Hai Erbo is still very familiar with it. And even now, his soul still has no power.
"Huh?" Thinking of this, Haierbo couldn't help pondering, "That is to say... I actually only have a soul now? And I'm forcibly living in a demon's body?"
Although he didn't know how he could forcefully break into the demon's body when he was quite weak, let alone where he was in the demon's body. But he only needs to understand that he is not dead, and there is no threat for the time being, that is enough.
And the next thing he has to do is to see if he can "move" his consciousness first. After all, it would be a waste of time just to float so powerlessly.
But just when Haierbo was about to examine his soul carefully, a figure suddenly appeared from the haze in the distance, and walked towards him little by little.
Immediately, Haierbo temporarily stopped his self-examination, and cast his "sight" in the direction of the figure.
As that figure gradually approached, finally, a face with some impressions also revealed its true face from the haze.
"Oh... so it's her?"
That's right, of course Haierbo still remembered this woman—that was the core of the demon summoning ceremony he had chosen by chance, the modern witch named "Muriel".
However, even though this person always occupied a very important position in the whole ceremony, Hai Erbo only had a slight impression of him. Because in his opinion, this mediocre woman is not worth remembering at all, and her role is limited to a "consumable".
"Mr. Harper, is it?"
There was no expression on Muriel's face, she just silently "stand" in front of Haierbo's soul, looked at the latter very coldly and asked a question.
On the other hand, Haierbo doesn't have the ability to "speak" right now, so he can only look at Muriel without saying a word.
correct! Isn't the devil's body originally born based on this woman's body? So in other words, I am actually staying in this woman's body now.
But... why does her soul still exist? Shouldn't it have been devoured by the souls of the newly settled demons when it was "consumed" as the core?
Muriel seemed to have noticed that Haierbo couldn't move very quickly, so she stared at Haierbo indifferently, and said indifferently:
"Helbo...remember? You killed Martin, killed him brutally...From that moment on, I knew you would have no good results. And from now on, you will be like me Trapped here, this is your retribution..."
Muriel's tone was always very calm, as if she didn't contain any hatred in her words. But in fact, it was precisely this kind of indifferent words that seemed to reveal her deep hatred.
Remembering the Muriel in the past, at least on the surface, she was always very optimistic, a woman who could still laugh no matter how difficult life was. But now, only coldness remained in her expression.
Since she was a child, she has determined to study resurrection potions. The worst thing she can see is that someone died, and it was this person in front of her who easily took away the only person who was kind to her around her in front of her. .
How could this not make her feel angry?
Now, Hai Erbo finally came to her "front" again, and he still appeared in a state of being completely unable to move, and even unable to speak a word.
So right now, Muriel only has pleasure derived from hatred in her heart.
"Do you understand? You can't get out!"
However, facing Muriel's indifference and ridicule, Haierbo didn't mean to get angry at all. No, not only was he not angry, he wasn't even interested in everything Muriel said.
After silently observing the state of the opponent's soul, Haierbo suddenly withdrew his attention and allocated more energy to thoroughly inspecting his own soul.
Hai Erbo had no idea how much time had passed, but it didn't take long before he gradually realized what kind of situation he was in.
And then, he carefully perceived the surrounding situation again, and made a judgment—perhaps, as Muriel said, generally speaking, it is indeed "impossible to get out".
Because Muriel's body has already been occupied by demons, and this will be the place where their souls will be imprisoned.
At this moment, Haierbo is silently examining himself and recuperating himself, speeding up the recovery of his soul's weakness caused by a "death".
Not long after, Haierbo, who was still unable to move at first, suddenly "coughed lightly".
"Can you make a sound?"
