Expecto Patronum!
Along with these rather magical words, the soft and non-dazzling silver-white light that rushed out expanded rapidly the moment it blasted out of the room.
Then...
An otter... made entirely of silver-white light appeared in front of the house. The otter opened its mouth towards the incoming rocket, and the rocket entered its body and disappeared silently.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Oblivion is emptiness!"
"Fall asleep!"
A ball of green flame bloomed in the fireplace, and following closely behind was a sweet and seductive woman wearing a magic robe and with long golden hair.
Hermione Granger.
Hermione waved the magic wand in her hand and cast several magic spells in succession. The police and irrelevant people in the house instantly forgot about the fantastic scene and fainted on the ground. The group of clone killers outside dropped their weapons unconsciously and fainted on the ground.
Inside the house.
Will Wick's cloned wife and daughter were looking at Hermione Granger, who appeared directly from the fireplace in an unusual way, with shock and nervousness on their faces.
Dr. Merrick at the cloning base was also shocked.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
"Fuck!"
Dr. Merrick covered his forehead, looking at the black screens of more than a dozen clone soldiers, and said angrily, "Initiate self-destruct sequence."
His men were stunned: "Sir, this is us..."
This is a secret cloning base. Most of the clone killers produced have been transported to Daniel Whitehoe and become Daniel Whitehoe's bodyguards. In the past few missions, the clone killers dispatched are all from Dr. Merrick's side. At present, the clone killers sent out are almost the last assets of the cloning base.
Dr. Merrick interrupted directly: "Initiate self-destruct sequence."
The soldier nodded and remotely activated the self-destruct program that was implanted in the brains of the clone killers along with the clones.
Boom boom boom!
One after another, the heads of the unconscious clone killers exploded instantly. Under the chain explosions, their bodies were also blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Sir!"
"Um."
Lake, who had already flown over the mineral town, listened to the soldier's words and looked down, just in time to see a dozen clone killers exploding without any movement.
but...
After taking a glance, Lake focused his attention on the typical American-style three-story house with a white exterior.
As the plane slowly descended, Lake felt even more that there was an inexplicably familiar emotion coming from that house.
bite!
The New York National Operations Center also transmitted the satellite images to Lake's laptop.
Catch the eye.
Lake couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at the silver-white otter that appeared in an instant, swallowed the rocket, and disappeared again.
Next second.
Lake looked up and shouted to the soldiers preparing to attack the house, "Stop."
The Master Chief raised his fist to stop the soldiers' actions, then turned to look at Lake who came out of the helicopter: "Sir."
Lake folded the tablet and put it back in his arms, then walked towards the house: "Stand guard outside."
The Master Chief was a little confused: "Sir?"
Lake said directly: "Follow the order!"
The Master Chief said helplessly: "Yes."
Lake crossed the street, adjusted his cuffs, walked to the house, pushed the door and walked in. What he saw was the police officer who had retreated into the house and fell asleep on the ground, and Hermione Granger who was smiling as she watched Lake enter the house...
Hermione Granger also set her eyes on Lake who entered the room.
"Good afternoon, Hermione!"
After Lake entered the room, he closed the door behind him and looked at Hermione with a smile on his face. "Ms. Hermione Granger from the Law Enforcement Department of the Magical Dimension, what brings you to our Muggle world?"
"you."
"oh."
Hermione then lowered her gaze to the cloned mother and daughter who were also unconscious: "Also, these parasites."
"Parasitic demon?"
"Yes."
Hermione looked up at Lake: "In the human world, after death, the soul will go to hell. However, there are always some humans who are unwilling to let their loved ones go and try every possible way to resurrect them. Moreover, they have succeeded, but they don't know that they will face a tragedy. These souls have been in hell and have been contaminated by the breath of hell. When trying to resurrect them, they will become so-called parasitic demons. Now, they may be fine, but as time goes by, they will reveal their demonic nature. They will kill the people who resurrected them, and then start killing innocent lives."
Lake raised an eyebrow.
That's right.
Lake had long felt that Mephisto would definitely not sit idly by and watch humans seize his power. It turned out that he was waiting here.
resurrection?
Oh.
In Lake's understanding, there are only two ways of true resurrection. One is to modify the timeline, just like Karen's timeline was modified, which is called resurrection. The second is to go directly to hell, fight your way through hell, and personally take away the soul you want to resurrect, just as Lake promised Betty.
besides?
It is simply a dream to think that one can snatch the soul that belongs to him from the hands of Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, with just a few spells or some scientific instruments.
Lake nodded: "So, you are here mainly for them."
Hermione looked at Lake: "And you."
Lake chuckled and said, "How long has it been since we last met? Three years, four years?"
Hermione said, "Six years, eight months, three days and forty-five minutes."
Lake blinked and exclaimed, "Is it that clear?"
Hermione said with a half-smile, "Of course, I couldn't be unaware of it, because that was the day I discovered you were cheating on me, and then you left without even saying goodbye, without even giving me an explanation."
Lake: "…"
Hermione and Lake knew each other quite early.
Let me put it this way.
Hermione had known Lake since she was born.
To be specific, the Granger family and the Ross family in London have been interacting with each other since they were young. Even now, the Granger family and the Ross family will often find time to visit each other.
When they were young, Dr. Granger was responsible for Lake and Betty's dental health. Last year or so, Dr. Granger, who was on vacation in Washington, had Betty's impacted tooth removed.
As for Lake and Hermione?
I guess we did date.
However, it was not a free love, but more like an arranged marriage. The reason was that Hermione's parents, the Grangers, did not know Hermione's identity, so they planned to arrange a marriage. After all, in the Grangers' impression, Hermione admired this brother who came to live with the Ross couple in a foreign country for a few days every year.
But ordinary people's long-distance relationships can't last long, let alone... uh, how should I put it, a long-distance relationship between a Muggle and a wizard?
Lake has his own secrets.
Hermione also has her own secrets.
As time went by, and the secret was exposed, the story was doomed to end, and so the two broke up.
What?
Cheating?
Lake completely denies this.
After all, his story with Emilia happened before his story with Hermione.
Lake smiled and looked at Hermione: "It doesn't seem right. I remember that I wanted to explain to you, but you didn't listen. You told me that if I didn't leave, you would cast a killing curse on me."
Hermione stared at Lake intently: "That's because you left without saying goodbye."
Lake said, "I left you a message on voicemail, but you didn't call me back."
"Why should I go back? You cheated on me."
"...Can you be reasonable?"
"cannot."
"…"
MMP.
There was a sense of déjà vu of a scene that had happened six years ago.
Lake had a headache.
He shouldn't have listened to Mr. Granger and General Ross's instigation at that time. Flirting with a girl younger than him was a very dangerous thing.
Lake likes to be passive. He likes to be coaxed, not coax others.
Of course.
This has nothing to do with Lake's rule for himself of only loving mature women and not lolis.
No, absolutely not.
Lake shook his head and turned around.
Why not leave? Just continue to act out the Qiong Yao drama that is about to happen: you listen to my explanation, no I don't listen, you listen, I don't stop... Is this a repetitive cycle?
Lake still has a few people to kill right now. As for those people being demons, that's none of his business. He is too lazy to get involved in matters of demons and hell. Besides, Mephisto has not offended him. Lake thinks it's good to maintain this state.
"Imprisonment!"
"…"
Lake opened his mouth, looked at the door that was integrated into the wall, raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Hermione.
Boom!
Lake's back was pressed against the door, and then an inexplicable feeling came to his head.
Walter provoked Fake?
Am I being pushed against the wall?
Shit?
Lake pressed against the door, came back to his senses, and looked at Hermione who was almost tiptoeing towards him: "What are you doing?"
Hermione's nose twitched slightly, and then, with her long eyelashes flickering, she stared into Lake's iconic deep blue eyes: "There's something wrong with you!"
Lake's eyebrows twitched.
Hermione squeaked, took a few steps back, and silently chanted an invisibility spell.
Lake also took a step forward. Just as he was about to leave the gate, there was a bang, and the gate was kicked open from the outside. The sergeant walked in with a gun in hand: "Sir!"
Then.
The Master Chief saw Lake squatting in the corner, checking the breath of a police officer.
Lake stood up and said to the sergeant who had led everyone in: "Get out! No one is allowed to come in without my order."
The Master Chief pointed to the door.
Lake said, "Get out."
The sergeant had no choice but to lead his team out of the room again.
"Close the door."
"...yes."
"…"
