Chapter 2361 The Hound in the Shadows

"Avada Kedavra--"

A ghastly green arc of light flashed past behind the house, but what followed was a series of roars, which sounded either low or high at first, and the ups and downs were very frightening.

Even when he heard the voice chanting the mantra, he felt a little familiar, knowing that he must have met that person somewhere based on his memory, and Sirius didn't dare to get close to him for a while.

In this hellish place, it can be said that every step is on the verge of death, how dare he take risks casually with a heavy burden on him?

However, since the other party is very likely to be an acquaintance, with Sirius' temperament, naturally he will not just leave him behind. He wants to see who the unlucky ghost he meets at this time and this place will be.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"boom--"

As the unknown wizard who was separated by a house chanted the spell clearly again, a powerful exploding spell suddenly exploded there. When the bricks and stones were flying and the smoke and dust were rising, Sirius, who was hiding in the bushes by the roadside, saw a lowered figure suddenly rushing out from the old alley that was collapsing not far away, and then he didn't even think about it. So he sprinted down the street to the opposite end from where Sirius was.

Of course, that person couldn't possibly be aware of the existence of Sirius, even though the distance between the two of them was less than twenty feet, but he knew that his exploding spell could barely stop the group of vicious living corpses. , not to mention there are more enemies around.

The moment he rushed out of the alley, he didn't even have the time to look back!

"Damn it... If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have listened to that guy Brandt's nonsense and came here. Going anywhere is much safer than staying here in Germany...Damn it...Damn it!"

While the figure was running fast, it kept muttering and complaining, probably trying to use this method to stabilize its mind at this critical moment.

After a few complaints, he saw that he was running with the wand in his hand and swipe at himself. He was looking at Sirius from a distance, and found that this guy's figure suddenly blurred.

It's the illusion spell!

"Tsk."

Sirius smacked his lips impatiently—the other party didn't know, but he knew that the concealment spell like the Disillusionment Curse didn't have much effect on living corpses, especially when those guys had already targeted them. case. But the Illusion Curse, which is useless to living corpses, can work normally on him as a human being. In this case, it will only make his follow-up plan more difficult.

After taking a final glance at the alley that the other party had just slipped out of, and seeing that the living corpse blocked by the explosive curse at the back of the house was showing signs of protruding, he turned his head and walked into another alley across the street. stuck in.

It is true that he wants to keep up with the person who has already disappeared, but he will not let himself be a bait for others to prevent disasters for no reason. When it comes to people, that's fine.

Fortunately, those living corpses had already set their sights on the wizard just now, and their interest in his "big black dog" was obviously much lower. As long as he avoids walking around in front of the living corpses in advance, most of those crazy beasts will not follow.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Sirius, who had already run into the dirty alley, heard a howl from the street outside, and they all turned a corner and continued to chase the wizard.

He didn't stop, and even accelerated his running speed again, moving forward in this dirty and wet alley. Although the alley was winding and twisting, he almost always kept in a direction parallel to the living corpses outside, and he did not deviate at all in this unfamiliar place.

obviously,

He wanted to use the keen perception of these living corpses to keep up.

A few minutes later, even Sirius, who had long been accustomed to running wildly in the form of animagus when he was a student, was exhausted from this fast running, after all, he was already quite tired all the way here. up.

However, the guy in front who was running desperately under the chase of the living corpse was obviously in a much worse state than him at the moment. You know, he is not like him, who can run on four legs!

"...I remembered, it turned out to be him!"

Sirius followed all the way, and didn't waste the time of following silently. He turned the low-pitched complaint he overheard from the other party just now in his heart. Combined with the familiar voice before, he seemed to have somewhat guessed the other party's identity.

Of course, no matter whether his guess is accurate or not, since the other party has already mentioned someone from the Brandt family, this is enough to give Sirius a reason to continue chasing him.

Since even the Blois family and Mrs. Maxime didn't know much about this second battlefield, it was natural for him to try to get more information.

After all, when he came out this time, Sirius originally planned to investigate the details of this place for Granger's camp... At least that's right at the beginning.

"Okay... just try to help you out!"

Thinking of this, Sirius, who was still running wildly in the form of a black dog in the alley just now, jumped up suddenly, and then his four-legged waist suddenly swelled in the moment he was slightly vacated, and he re-formed into a human form in the blink of an eye.

To say that the two-legged man can't run as fast as the four-legged man, and after recovering his human body, his speed is obviously much slower in this winding and deep alley. After turning several turns in a row, he can't keep up with the activities outside corpse.

Not only that, as soon as his Animagus was removed, the stronger human aura immediately attracted the attention of the enemy, and more than one living corpse instinctively approached him.

However, Sirius, who was exposed at this time, wouldn't he have not made corresponding preparations? Those guys couldn't beat them, but when it came to running away, he still had some confidence.

Just when more and more living corpses were commotioning in the street outside, Sirius took out a rough-looking wooden doll from his arms without saying a word, and threw it back casually.

"Copy to double."

After he waved his wand, pointed back, and silently recited a copying spell, the puppet immediately began to divide into two, and then into four, bouncing and bouncing became more and more, and even scattered and ran around. up.

"I hope that guy from South Africa didn't lie to me! If I can fool these living corpses for a while, the Galleons I spent back then would be worth it."

Mumbling like this, his speed didn't slow down any more, and he continued to move forward without looking back.
