Chapter 780 Deterrence

To some extent, Death Eaters still have a tough mouth. Due to the fear of Voldemort, it is usually difficult for people from the Ministry of Magic to get anything useful from them unless they use Legilimency or Veritaserum. Information.

The same goes for the Death Eaters who were caught this time. Even though they were all tied up, they all acted as if they wanted to kill and to find out what they were doing. They just held their necks and said nothing, as if they were determined to die. Mr. Weasley certainly wouldn't torture them.

Of course, they were right, Mr. Weasley would not do this, but there are exceptions to everything.

“So you were just sent to Diagon Alley to cause havoc and you don’t know anything else, right?”

 When Kyle went back, he happened to see a very horrifying scene.

Mr. Weasley was crouched talking to a head, while the headless body was less than five feet away, guarded by a shopkeeper.

"Yes, I've said it three times, we really only know so much!" The voice in the head said with a hint of crying, "Please, put me back quickly, it really hurts."

"There's no rush." ​​Mr. Weasley said slowly: "As far as I know, the separation caused by Apparition can last for about thirty minutes. We are now..." He glanced at his watch. "We still have seven minutes to communicate."

"No, don't...you said it was an approximate time...I'm really in pain now..."

"We really don't know anything... Oh, by the way, Lord Yaxley asked us to come..." The man's voice became smaller and smaller, "And Lord Lestrange... they seem to be very... Anxious... before leaving, he said..."

The reason why these Death Eaters are so arrogant is that they think that the people from the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix will not do anything to them. According to past experience, the most they can do is interrogate them before being imprisoned in Azkaban.

"Maybe others know." Kyle glanced at the **** Death Eaters around him, "There are so many people here, we can ask slowly."

The other party reluctantly took out a bottle of white essence and dabbed it on the man's neck.

"But you probably don't want to participate in frequent investigations." Mr. Weasley continued: "Even if an Auror uses the Unforgivable Curse, he will have to participate in at least three investigations, let alone you are not an Auror now. There will only be more, and there will be inquests and trials of the Wizengamot."

 A green light appeared out of thin air, instantly covering the several Death Eaters in front of Kyle.

 At this time, Kyle also walked over.

But Kyle didn’t even look at him, he just pretended not to hear.

"Shut up, you traitor!" A Death Eater shouted angrily: "The Dark Lord will definitely kill you because of your betrayal!"

"You're done..." Someone yelled in a stern voice, trying to embolden themselves with a louder voice, "Use the killing curse... even you Auror will be judged..."

"Ah, this, it doesn't matter." Kyle said with a smile, "Just throw it away. In fact, I don't really want to work in the Ministry of Magic. If that's the case, it can be regarded as doing me a favor."

"Servant... it's unbelievable." Mr. Weasley's face was heavy, and he didn't understand why those Death Eaters would think this way.

 “Go home and feed yourself…”

This scene was simply too weird. For a moment, the surrounding area immediately became quiet, and an atmosphere of fear began to spread.

"No, I mean, you shouldn't kill him in front of so many people." Mr. Weasley sighed, "I guess the next minister should be Amelia Bones, I know her , although fair, sometimes a bit unflexible.

 “I said, I said!”

“Now you kneel down and kowtow twice. Maybe I will tell you when I feel happy.”

But the "head" turned a deaf ear to the scolding behind him and continued to speak in a weak voice: "They said... to rush back to the master as soon as possible... that is the Dark Lord... only the most trusted Death Eaters... can become his servant…"

 “You want us to betray the Dark Lord? Stop dreaming, boy.”

Upon seeing this, Mr. Weasley immediately lifted his head and put it back on his neck, and then looked at the drugstore owner next to him.

 “Twa, Twa!”

Kekel also didn’t look at him.

 But now they suddenly realized that something seemed a little wrong.

"Please...please...I really don't know any more..." The man's voice became softer, and his face became extremely pale.

His voice was excited, but not because of anger, but because of fear. He was afraid of being angered by Voldemort.

After noticing his gaze, the Death Eaters immediately sneered.

 “Damn it...what have you done?” Someone asked with a trembling voice.

 “Don’t…” Mr. Weasley stretched out his hand, trying to stop Kyle.

“I heard it all,” Kyle said. “I think the mysterious man is hurt.”

"It doesn't matter."

At this time, Kyle waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The Ministry of Magic is in chaos now. All rules can be ignored until the new minister takes office."

 “You shouldn’t do this.” Mr. Weasley frowned and whispered.

"That's not surprising," said Mr. Weasley. "After all, he is facing Dumbledore. It's a pity that we don't know where the mysterious man is hiding. Otherwise, we can take this opportunity to launch a decisive battle with the Death Eaters."

Someone shouted the other person's name loudly, but to no avail, as if they were dead.

 “Hahaha, yes, it is...”

At that time, the deterrence of Dementors was still very objective, but now that even Dementors have been absorbed by Voldemort, and Azkaban has almost become their back garden, how can these people be afraid?

It was only then that they realized that this was not a competition like the previous game, but a real war. Not only could they torture others for fun, but others could also kill them in turn.

 There was silence in the crowd.

"If so many people accuse you at the same time, you may be in trouble. Even if the situation is special now, you will probably lose your position as a senior assistant minister."

"It's so troublesome." Kyle frowned, picked up the wand and waved it in his hand, "Then just kill them all, so that they won't have to file a complaint."

“You came just in time,” said Mr. Weasley. “I just asked you some very interesting questions.”

 The Death Eater's laughter stopped abruptly at last, because he saw that the body of the man who had just spoken suddenly foamed at the mouth, and then his body quickly turned purple and lay motionless on the ground.

 “Don’t kill us!”

It seems that Kyle did not expect that Kyle would really dare to do this. There was a cry and howl from the crowd, and a few timid people even fainted from fright on the spot.

 But they soon discovered that nothing happened to them.

"I lied to you." Kyle smiled and raised his wand, "I can't even tell the difference between the killing curse and the lighting curse. I'm not good at it."

The faces of the first few people turned red for a while. It was the shame and anger after being teased. They thought they had been insulted, just like the magical animals in a magic troupe for people to see. This insult was more uncomfortable than killing them. .

Which one is tolerable?

 But just when they were about to say something...

"Avada Kedavra!"

 A more dazzling green light rubbed their heads and fell onto the wall behind them, blasting a shockingly large crater on top.

"This is the death curse." Kyle glanced at them lightly, "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

"Well done." The first Death Eater blurted out: "I have long disliked Tewa. He is so arrogant and wanton that he deserves to be killed."

"Yes, yes." Someone echoed, "Even if you don't do it, I won't let him go."

“We will keep it secret and won’t tell anyone.”

"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense. I have never used the Unforgivable Curse, and I have never killed anyone." Kyle shook his head, "How about you take a closer look, he has really been hit by the Killing Curse. ?"

At Kyle's reminder, everyone including the shop owner Mr. Weasley looked over.

“Wait a minute, this doesn’t seem to be a death curse.” Someone said.

"yes…"

"It's really not like..." "I've never heard that the Death Curse can make a person's body turn purple."

 “It feels like it’s been poisoned by some kind of venom...is it an Acromantula?”

 …

 Everyone was talking in a hurry.

“Let me just say it, this matter actually has nothing to do with me.” Kyle said with a smile, and pointed to a small sprout-like thing that appeared next to him at some point: “The culprit is here.”

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked over, and someone immediately recognized its identity.

 “The Bowtruckle?”

The man blinked and felt ridiculous.

 Are you kidding me? Even if you lie, you have to find a slightly more reliable reason. Can a Bowtruckle, a magical animal with only XX level, kill an adult wizard silently?

 Isn’t this nonsense?

But the next second, Mr. Weasley found a small wound on the other person's neck, and it just matched the Bowtruckle's slender and sharp fingers.

At this time, everyone was silent.

 The bowtruckle can kill an adult wizard... This is the most incredible thing they have heard in recent years.

 But in the current situation, they had to believe it. After all, except for the wound, there were no other marks on the other party's body.

Everyone just felt like their heads were getting big... Is it possible that the tree pottery is poisonous, or is it the kind that can kill an adult wizard instantly?

 Haven’t heard of it!

 Or is there a new version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"?

Of course, the Bowtruckle is definitely not poisonous, and Newt is very dedicated, but there are quite a few truly poisonous magical animals in Kyle’s box.

Just now, the little guy poked the opponent with the basilisk fangs that Kyle had carefully polished.

This is one of the methods Kyle prepared to deal with those elite Death Eaters. The effect can be said to be immediate and really good.

 It’s just that he will definitely not say this.

 Few people knew that he had a basilisk anyway, and they would never have thought that he would polish the basilisk's teeth into the size of a needle, so as long as he didn't tell anyone, no one would know what was going on.

And retaining a little sense of mystery will also play a big role in deterring Death Eaters.

 At least after what happened just now, all the Death Eaters who were cursing and cursing before have all calmed down, and they are as honest as moon-crazed beasts in the sun.

Some people didn’t even dare to raise their heads for fear of being poked themselves.

Being killed by a Bowtruckle is so weird and a little ridiculous.

As if he was afraid that Kyle would cause something else to happen, Mr. Weasley stopped worrying about the Bowtruckle and turned around and asked, "Are you willing to say something now?"

This time, the crowd became more enthusiastic. Under Kyle's gaze, everyone actively cooperated with Mr. Weasley and told the news they knew.

  Sometimes the news is repeated, and they will quarrel over who said it first. In short, they are very active.

But this behavior made Fred and George who had just arrived very embarrassed.

They were just thinking that if the Death Eaters refused to cooperate, they could vent their anger in the name of interrogation.

 But looking at it now, the level of cooperation is simply unbelievable, even a bit excessive. How can they find excuses for this?

 Two hours later, several people left Diagon Alley and returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

At this time, the sky outside has become slightly brighter.

As soon as the door was opened, Mrs. Weasley ran over.

“Arthur, thank God!” she said excitedly: “Where did you go with the children just now? Why didn’t you say hello to us? Do you know how panicked we were after discovering that you were missing?”

"Sorry Molly, sorry." Mr. Weasley said quickly, and explained what he had discovered at St. Mungo's.

“Do you recognize the person from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore?” Mrs. Weasley asked with a frown.

"Yes, so we thought about going to Diagon Alley to have a look." Mr. Weasley said, "And we went there in time and just killed dozens of Death Eaters."

"Even so, you should tell us." Mrs. Weasley was still a little dissatisfied, "We can go together."

"I saw that you were all a little too tired, so I didn't say anything. Besides, as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, isn't it the same for any of us?"

 “Then you can’t bring your children with you.”

 “But Fred and George have graduated a long time ago.”

 “Don’t play dumb, Arthur, I’m talking about Kyle.”

Kyle?

 Subconsciously, Mr. Weasley thought of what happened in Diagon Alley, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice.

I have to say that the most confusing thing about Kyle is his age... He has just graduated and is young, which will indeed make many people despise him.

 And this kind of contempt is often fatal at certain times.

Before this, it was hard for Mr. Weasley to imagine that he could kill a Death Eater so lightly, and with so many people present, no one knew what he had done.

  He still remembered how lucky the Death Eaters' eyes were when they decided to leave Diagon Alley.

 But for some reason. He didn't tell Mrs. Weasley this, and he also told Fred and George before entering.

"You must be hungry," Mrs. Weasley asked after giving Kyle a hug.

Kyle was really hungry after being asked this question by her.

They didn’t eat much during dinner, and so many things happened later, and they were busy working until the early hours of the morning, so it’s normal to feel hungry.

 “Let’s have something to eat before going to bed.” Mrs. Weasley led everyone to the kitchen.

 Half an hour later, a table of hot supper was ready.

Because she was worried about Percy, Mrs. Weasley was obviously not in the mood, so the supper was basically done by the house elf Kreacher.

But he was somewhat reluctant and insisted that it was for Kyle alone.

 But no one cares.

During the meal, Mr. Weasley also talked about the things in Diagon Alley in general. He deliberately mentioned the things related to Kyle and only picked out a few things that could be mentioned. Fortunately, it had no impact.

"You mean, the mysterious man is injured?" Mrs. Weasley asked in surprise: "Is the news credible? It is the mysterious man after all. Could it be false news deliberately deceiving us?"

“I don’t know, but from their description, it seems so,” Mr. Weasley said. “Can we contact Dumbledore now?”

"No." Mrs. Weasley shook her head and said worriedly, "We have tried it before, but there has been no response to Dumbledore's summons coin..."

"Or you can contact Sirius." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore should still be at the Ministry of Magic to discuss matters with Ms. Bones. If Sirius and Tonks are still at the Ministry of Magic, they should be able to find him."

"That makes sense." Mrs. Weasley nodded, "I'll go now."
