The therapist walked out, the landlord brought wine, and these two things happened while Xing Ze was taking a nap.
He was woken up by the sound of the door opening. He slept much lighter than he thought. Xing Ze opened his eyes and saw the ferocious scars on John's back. The light blue magic threads and blood stains intertwined to form a wonderful picture.
picture.
"Look, another beautiful woman came to see us." John raised the bottle of wine towards the visitor.
A short rest allowed Xing Ze to regain some of his strength. He looked at the person who came and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "It's not another one, it's the same one. Nice to see you again, Miss Tonks."
John shook his head. He still couldn't understand what Xing Ze was talking about. He felt that he should wear a shirt instead of this.
"No need to be restrained, sir." Tonks changed back to her original appearance. Her hair was no longer black, but like a rainbow after the rain, and her skin took on a healthy wheat color, not as white as before.
It's no wonder that John couldn't recognize her. If Xing Ze hadn't read the original work and knew that this girl had a Disguise Magus, he wouldn't have recognized her either.
"The wounds caused by werewolves need to be observed in the air for a period of time to determine whether you are infected with the lycanthropic virus."
John's hand stopped holding the coat, "Interesting, you seem to know a lot about this."
Tonks took out a lollipop from her pocket, "I have a friend who is infected with the werewolf virus."
"That's really unfortunate. May Merlin bless him."
"May Merlin bless him." The girl sighed and put the candy in her mouth.
"So, how did you recognize me?" she asked Xing Ze curiously.
"Intuition, the jacket still has some spoilers." Xing Ze replied. He stood up and felt dizzy.
Tonks didn't understand the meaning of this. She cast a confused look at John, who continued to drink and expressed that he could not help.
"What do you want, Miss Tonks?" Xing Ze asked.
"Just call me Tonks." The girl said, "Intelligence, the information you have."
"What do we get for this?"
Tonks took out a bottle of potion from her pocket and threw it to Xing Ze, "I think you need this."
Cliona's Moon Dew Flower Essence Decoction, this potion can quickly replenish magic power and heal wounds. In addition to being addictive, it does not have as serious side effects as Pallaser Magic Decoction.
Xing Ze played with the potion. Just this small bottle costs twenty galleons, and the price will go up depending on the purity. It is indeed an Auror office with a lot of money.
"Do you want to trade a bottle of potion for information?"
"If the information is substantial enough, I can also help you get out early."
Xing Ze put the potion aside, "I bet you don't have that much power. I also think Scrimgeour would rather interrogate us in person."
Tonks took out the candy from her mouth and rubbed her hands uneasily. She hated the feeling of being seen through, so she always hid herself very well, but this man was very annoying.
"Don't try, miss." John had a smile on his face as if he had guessed the outcome, "It's hard for you to fool him."
At this moment, an Auror outside the door opened the door and came in. He said to Xing Ze and John: "Director Scrimgeour wants to see you."
John put down the wine in his hand and turned to look at Xing Ze. Xing Ze threw the potion on the table back to Tonks and took out two bottles of moon dew flower essence decoction from his ring.
Throwing one bottle to John and drinking one himself, his complexion immediately improved a lot, then he patted John on the shoulder and said: "Start working, man."
John looked at the potion in his hand, then at Xing Ze who was about to walk to the door, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "What a bastard."
"I agree." Tonks agreed.
…
Scrimgeour's thick eyebrows almost knitted together. He took a deep breath and asked sternly: "John, tell me, what are you here for?"
"Speak first." John suggested kindly.
"I don't have time to continue playing games with you, John, either tell me the information you have, or I'll put you both in Az..."
"I think..."
"Shut up, John, don't think I dare not do that, I guarantee you will regret it."
The lion is angry, Xing Ze thought. He took over and said: "We can be honest with each other. But, director, can you tell me why you are so nervous?"
Scrimgeour was silent. He stared at Xing Ze, the muscles on his face trembling slightly. Xing Ze had to lower his head slightly to avoid looking at him.
Pressure came from all around, like an invisible wall. Unlike the pressure given by Dumbledore, Scrimgeour was more angry.
Tonks probably noticed something. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Did something happen to them? Did something happen to Schalke and the others?"
Only then did Scrimgeour notice her presence. He temporarily put away his anger and said in a deep voice: "Get out, Tonks!"
He stopped the girl's questioning with his eyes and silence, and asked her to walk out of the basement obediently.
"They disappeared in the Colosseum." Scrimgeour told the truth.
"Wait a minute, you said disappear..."
"Literally, John, they lost contact and there's no trace on the crystal ball."
"Maybe you should send someone down to take a look. Portkeys are not that difficult to make these days."
"Do you think I'm an idiot? John, of course I sent someone to check it out. That place is just a Colosseum, and there is no door key."
"Floo point?"
Scrimgeour looked at John with an expression like "Are you serious?" John waved his hand and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"For Merlin's sake, John, they have a contact crystal with them. If it's a portkey and a Floo network, they will definitely say. Are you drinking so much that you have given up even simple thinking?"
"Who has gone down?" Xing Ze interjected and asked.
"Delux, Shacklebolt, Joseph, and Fitch. They have been in charge of this secret investigation."
"Secret investigation?"
"Yes, secret investigation, young man. Therefore, I cannot mobilize too many Aurors, otherwise it will inevitably attract unnecessary attention. The media, church, and other departments will try their best to intervene. They are like flies, helpless
It’s everywhere. But this will only make the case more complicated.”
"Can we talk alone?" John pointed at Xing Ze and himself.
Scrimgeour nodded and reminded: "Better hurry up."
The two walked to a corner of the basement, and John asked as quietly as possible: "What do you think?"
"We can ask to go to the Colosseum." Xing Ze replied.
"You're crazy. Four Aurors disappeared in that place, and then we had to go in so brazenly."
"This is our only chance, no matter what." Xing Ze glanced at Scrimgeour secretly, "He will let us leave the information."
"Damn, I'm starting to miss you lying on the sofa." John rubbed his beard, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
Xing Ze shook his head and replied sincerely: "Not sure."
