Chapter 177 You have won...

Looking at the photos in his hand, Pei Chen smiled very happily. Under such a mood, even the idea of ​​rejecting Lockhart seemed to be weakened a little. Of course, it was just a little bit. Overall, the favorability was still negative.

There were more than ten photos on his hand, all of which were special. The characters would move after adding the development potion. Among them, there were not only photos of him and Lockhart, but also photos of him and other students. The more important one was photos with Hermione, and even a photo of Gryffindor trio.

"Well, this one can be thrown away, but the others can be used as a souvenir and are of great collection value. After all, I don't know if I can come back to this scene in the future..." Pei Chen sorted out the photos one by one in different categories, took out the last photo, and looked at it carefully.

The image shown above is a photo of Pei Chen and Gryffindor trio. The focus is on the shoulders of the red-haired boy. A fat mouse was raising his forelimb in panic to block the camera's flash. The broken finger seemed particularly conspicuous.

"Well, it should look very good. As long as Sirius has not completely lost his mind, he should still be able to recognize him." Pei Chen nodded with satisfaction, looking in a good mood. He put away the photos and then went directly to prepare for the application procedures - things should be early rather than late, and he is going to set off to the Azkaban Wizard Prison now.

...

...

The Magic Law Enforcement Division established a prison on an island in the cold waters of the North Sea. It is called the Azkaban Castle, or Azkaban for short.

Due to the sparse population, wizard prisons are rare. Apart from Azkaban, which is set up in the North Sea, there is only Numenghad, which is more famous than Azkaban, because it is the prison established by another older dark king Grindelwald, and he was imprisoned himself.

However, although Neumangad is indeed more famous in terms of fame, if the prison is even more terrifying, then only Azkaban deserves it. It is nothing more. The prisoners and guards there alone are enough to make most of the wizards frightened.

"Spit!" Spit out the bitter and salty sea water in his mouth. Pei Chen looked at the huge castle in front of him. Perhaps because it was built on an isolated island, Pei Chen always felt that this castle seemed to be larger than the entire Hogwarts Castle. The dementors flying around like ghosts in the sky seemed extremely magical in conjunction with the gloomy weather.

"A castle of such a big size is just two hundred people closed?" Pei Chen sighed in disbelief, "There are more than 800 people living in Hogwarts Castle and they always seem empty. I really don't know what the people who designed this prison in the Ministry of Magic thought. Did he want to capture everyone in the entire British magic world?"

Seeing Pei Chen's strange face and obviously holding back his smile, Mr. Thor seemed very embarrassed. In fact, the Ministry of Magic had long regretted it when he designed this castle, because even when the struggle with the black magic forces was in the late stage, the wizards launched a very harsh counterattack against the dark forces, not only threw many Death Eaters suspects and other supporters of Voldemort in, but even a large number of unauthorized people were sent to Azkaban. However, at that time, the prisoners in Azkaban were still unable to exceed 300.

This made the Ministry of Magic very embarrassed. Although no one said anything on the surface, the statement that the Ministry of Magic wasted taxpayers' money wasted" was flying all over the sky.

"Haha, let's go in first... It seems that it will rain." Mr. Thor changed the subject by haha. Because he had met Pei Chen, he was more familiar with him, so he was sent by the minister to receive Pei Chen who was going to Azkaban and his party.

To be honest, Mr. Thor is not interested in such a task and does not want to accept it, because the minister is obviously just passing the blame. After all, Azkaban is a terrifying place, guarded by dementors, they are a group of terrible creatures called ‘soulless demons’ and feed on people’s positive emotions.

As long as they get close to them, they will feel that their IQ is being sucked away... Oh no, I mean they will feel that their happiness is being sucked away, leaving only despair and emptiness. In this case, naturally no one wants to come here, and Mr. Thor also has the idea of ​​completing the task as soon as possible and leaving as soon as possible.

"Has the weather always been like this? It seems that since I got on the boat, I have never seen the sunshine when I entered the North Sea." But Pei Chen didn't seem to be moving so quickly. He opened his hands slightly and his perception of the gravitational field slowly emanated. Time can control all matter, and if there is no time, all matter is absolutely stationary. What controls gravity is the amount of space dimension, but gravity will weaken when it passes through each space. This is what Pei Chen has known for a long time.

But... the weakness here is too strong, right? Even when it was in Hogwarts Castle, Pei Chen had never tried to be suppressed so ruthlessly. But that's right, after all, Hogwarts is just a school, while Azkaban is a wizard prison. It's self-evident which magic barrier is set to be stronger.

"Yes, in order to prevent the Muggles from discovering the abnormality here, we had to impose countless spells on this island and every inch of the sea within thirty miles around to ensure that the Muggles would not break into the place, or that they would not find anything after breaking into it." Because it was not something that needed to be kept secret, Mr. Thor sincerely told Pei Chen.

"Is that so? No wonder..." Pei Chen nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything, "Okay, let's go, I always feel that something is causing my mental attribute value to become unstable."

"..." Although Mr. Thor couldn't understand this sentence, his intuition made him show a look of full agreement and affirmation, because the source of their dissatisfaction were those ghostly dementors who kept hovering over the castle.

The more he walked into the castle, the more difficult Pei Chen felt, as if even the air became heavier. But seeing Mr. Thor, who looked weak next to him, did not show such a thing. It seemed that this ghost place was just targeting him?

He thought for a moment, decisively put away the scattered gravitational field, no longer simply relying on the force field he supported to fight against the magic magnetic field in this sea area where even the curvature of space has been distorted. Then he felt that he felt relaxed instantly and no longer felt like a mountain.

"Professor Lair, you know, we actually hate these things." After crossing an invisible border line, Mr. Thor suddenly shivered and his face turned pale. "They can absorb all the hopes and all the happiness of the prisoners. The prisoners here are tortured very much by dementors... Most prisoners went crazy within a few weeks, yes, most people went crazy, and many people went on hunger strike in the end. They lost the desire to live. It is known when a person dies, because dementors can feel it, and they are very excited every time they are."

Speaking of this, Mr. Thor did not hide his sympathy and sorrow on his face, and his strong hatred for the ghostly-like real-life monsters.

"No wonder there is no need to use walls and water to lock up prisoners, because prisoners are all in their control..." Pei Chen nodded in a clear way. He found that there was almost no other defense method except the castle built with huge square stone. Even the prison in the general sense should have guards, posts, barbed wire and tall and cold walls! Although the designer was confused about the upper limit of the number of people in the prison, he still trusted 100% of the security and rigor of the prison he built.

Dementors are a kind of reality-like creature that Muggles cannot see. They are uniformly dressed in a cloak, like the god of death holding a sickle, but they do not have the high standard of the god of death - because their whole bodies are like they are soaked in water, with scabbed palms, and their whole bodies are rotten.

As they passed by, Pei Chen frowned tightly, feeling that his happiness, courage and hope were actually losing such conceptual and unsubstantiated things. This is simply too evil, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?

Mr. Thor's face was extremely pale. Whenever a dementor approached, his whole body was shaking again and again. If Pei Chen had not held his hand and had the Ministry of Magic's letter command as a talisman, he might have fallen before he got close to the castle.

Unlike Pei Chen, who instantly guards his mind and keeps his mental power highly condensed when he finds something wrong, most wizards do not have such skills, and they have never consciously guided and trained their mental power. Under the influence of dementors, wizards will feel that the surrounding light is absorbed and gradually fall into darkness. Courage and hope fade away, and nothingness gradually occupy their hearts.

In the end, it ended up going crazy.

"Professor Lyle... Sorry, I'm not in good health, so can you please move faster? I remember you were going to visit Batty Crouch, right?"

"Of course. I'm just going to ask some things." Pei Chen agreed with a smile. In fact, he didn't know who this little Batty Crouch was. It was just an excuse arranged by Dumbledore to cover up his mind. Of course, this excuse was just upright and no one could find any fault.

After all, Pei Chen came to arrange for Sirius to escape from prison, so he could not go directly to meet the other party with a swagger, and then the other party escaped from prison after a few days - even a fool would know something was wrong.

As for Barty Crouch, it was just that Dumbledore discovered that he would pass through Sirius' cell when he was using it as an excuse. He really didn't have many other arrangements.

"Oh, that's how you'll have to speed up even faster. After all, Bati is no longer able to hold on." The two entered the inside of the castle and walked up the stairs. Perhaps because they finally got away from the dementors, Mr. Thor's face finally returned to a little bloody color.

"Can't hold on? What does it mean?" Pei Chen was a little curious, and looked at the cells locked by the fenced iron doors in the corridor with curious eyes.

"It means... he is going to die!" Mr. Thor gasped and saw a patrol dementor floating over the distant corridor, and his eyes immediately jumped wildly.

"Last time...it was about a month and a half ago? I forgot the specific time. It seemed that Mr. Barty Crouch brought his wife here to meet Little Barty. His wife died of illness shortly after returning, and Little Barty began to get seriously ill after that... It was timely you calculated. If he was delayed by one or two days, he might be dying."

(I had a lot of time today, but after reading the book review area, I was depressed for a long time... I knew this book was very bad, the writing was not good, the plot was poor, and it was a little poisonous... It was because of this that I just asked for two recommendations and collections at the beginning, and I never dared to speak. Yes, it was not that I was embarrassed, but I didn't dare. I could only write silently and write well with all my strength...

Even if I have 600,000 words, my grades are still bleak and I am destined to fail. But I still didn’t say anything. Even if I have to go to class and do homework, I can’t insist on double updates, but at least I basically keep a daily update of about 3,400+ words...
Chapter completed!
