Chapter 943 The Disappearing Key

"The scene reappears!"

Wisps of golden light mist emerged from the wands of several people and spread in all directions. The onlookers retreated and retreated, leaving about thirty square meters of space free.

After a while, the golden light mist gradually condensed into an illusory figure, which was undoubtedly Minister Igor.

Seeing this, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. He almost forgot that the Magical Congress of North America mastered a kind of magic that can trace the traces of magic.

In this case, the truth of this matter will soon come to light.

Percy obviously thought so too, his eyes widened as he didn't want to miss a single scene.

The illusory magic image was very blurry, and I could only roughly see Minister Igor pacing in the aisle, as if waiting for someone.

About a second or two later, Percy's figure appeared at the other end of the aisle.

Minister Igor seemed a little surprised and walked up quickly to say something to Percy.

However, since this was the remnant of magic power, it was impossible to see the specific mouth shapes of the two people, and everyone present could not reconstruct the content of the conversation through lip reading. They could only see that during the conversation, Percy suddenly pulled out The wand was pointed at Minister Igor and a killing curse was released.

The dazzling green light flashed in mid-air.

The latter obviously did not expect that the other party would suddenly want to assassinate him. A look of surprise and confusion appeared on his face, and then he was hit by the killing curse and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Percy in the picture leaned down and touched Minister Igor's body. A second later, the magic image stopped, and the golden mist instantly dissipated.

"Now it seems that the matter is very clear! It was this British wizard who killed the minister!" A Russian wizard said fiercely.

Percy's face turned pale. He never expected that the scene that reappeared would look like this.

Did you really kill that minister?

"No, it's not me...it's the Imperius Curse. Someone used the Imperius Curse to control me!" Percy yelled hurriedly, but no one paid him any attention.

Conor stroked his chin, keenly aware that something was wrong, and immediately waved his hand to ask the Aurors from the Department of Mysteries to perform [Scene Replay] over and over again.

"Stop right here!" On the third time, Conor suddenly stopped him.

The golden magic image suddenly condensed, and the two illusory figures stood still in the air. It was the scene where Percy released the killing curse on Minister Igor.

Conor stared at it for a long time, then turned to look at Ivan and asked. "What do you think, Hals?"

"Obviously, Mr. Minister Igor is not defenseless against Percy..." Ivan pointed to the motionless phantom Igor in front of him.

Everyone present looked at Ivan's direction, and then discovered that when Percy was waving the wand to cast the spell, Minister Igor's hand had already touched the wand on his waist, and his body turned to the left, probably trying to dodge. .

But for some reason, Igor didn't move at all until he was hit by the killing curse, as if he was stunned.

But this is very unreasonable. After all, Percy is not attacking ordinary people, but the Minister of the Russian Ministry of Magic. Since the other party is prepared, it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

"It should be the effect of the confinement spell! There must have been a third wizard present at the time..." Ivan said slowly, having roughly restored what happened in his mind.

Grindelwald first used the Imperius Curse to control Percy, then wore an invisibility cloak and followed him to see Minister Igor. Finally, he used the Imprisonment Curse to assist Percy in completing the murder, blaming the British wizard, provoking conflicts and destroying The next negotiation.

Even after understanding this, Ivan still had many questions in his mind, such as how Grindelwald sneaked into the tightly guarded North American Congress headquarters and how he managed to arrange an appointment with Minister Igor alone.

"Gentlemen, I would like to ask, why did your minister come to such a remote place alone?" Ivan turned back to look at several Russian wizards and asked strangely.

Ministers from various countries are usually heavily protected, especially in other people's territory. It is really unreasonable not to follow a few Aurors who are responsible for protecting them when traveling.

"This... we don't know either. Minister Igor only told us before he went out that he wanted to meet an important person to discuss something..." the Russian wizard said hesitantly. At that time, they also felt that something was wrong, but Minister Igor has always acted arbitrarily. In addition, his strength is not weak, and this is the headquarters of the Magic Congress, so they did not say anything to stop him.

"Important people... let's talk about something..." Ivan thought for a while and suddenly looked at Pierce. "Minister Pierce, if you put yourself in my shoes, under what circumstances would you make the same decision as Minister Igor?"

Pierce thought for a long time, and finally shook his head hesitantly. He was not a reckless man like Igor. He would always worry about his own safety no matter what.

"Then what if I have some dirty information about you, or we need to talk about something that is not convenient for outsiders to know?" Ivan's tone increased.

Pierce's expression suddenly changed. If it was as Ivan said, then it was really possible for him to leave the Aurors and go to the appointment alone.

Conor was even more moved by his thoughts, but after looking at the wizards who were watching, he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Can't you extract more images?" Ivan pointed at the still magic image in front of him and asked. The information we have now is still too little, and it is a bit difficult to use this to find out Grindelwald. difficulty.

"No, we can reproduce this magical image because the killing curse released by Mr. Percy has residual magic power." Conor sighed helplessly, and then waved his hand to signal to the Department of Mysteries. The Aurors lifted the spell.

The frozen golden image returned to its original state. Percy in the illusion shot the magic spell to kill Igor, and then squatted on the ground.

"Is he looking for something at the end?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Ivan was stunned for a moment. He had heard Percy explain it before, so they didn't think about it in this direction. Now it seems that it is indeed possible.

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Conor stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the Russian wizards in a low voice. He then asked the Aurors to take off Percy's clothes and inspect them carefully. In the end, his expression became very serious. Ugly, he said word for word.

"The key is missing! That's what Grindelwald came for!"
