Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 432

c416 Walking in the City of Disaster

Behind the stone arch, Harry was standing on a stone path.

The road is straight and wide, with no end in sight. The ground was paved with neat stone slabs, like an ordinary street in a British town.

Where Harry was at this time, there were two-story buildings with their own gardens on both sides of the road, and high-rise buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance.

“This is the City of Disaster.” Harley sighed softly with a hint of amusement, and quickly looked around.

The door behind her for her to enter has disappeared, and she doesn’t know where it went.

“It seems that this stone arch has a fixed position in the Ministry of Magic, but its position in the City of Disaster is randomly moved.”

Harley’s body ignited with black flames, trying to mark her feet.

But the flames were extinguished by Harry on his own initiative just after flowing for a few seconds. She shook her head and accepted the idea of ​​marking it at any time.

This place is too mysterious and dangerous. If the power is left indiscriminately, unpredictable consequences may occur.

Harry had not forgotten the clone formed by the stand-in wand from a year ago.

The clone’s betrayal was so sudden that it inexplicably developed an independent will. I didn’t receive any warning, nor did I feel any changes in the surrounding environment, or any force intrusion.

But the clone was indeed out of his control.

Fortunately, the clone at that time didn’t seem to have too much thinking or fighting ability, otherwise Harley suspected that she might have to go through a hard fight, or even get injured by surprise.

But now, Harley’s strength is completely different from before, and she has become an archangel.

If another mutation occurs, I’m afraid the scene of the mutation will not be as ordinary and harmless as before.

Every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. The Doomsday Witch will not fall in the same place twice.

Harley stood there with her eyes closed tightly, carefully recording the surrounding environment.

Harley didn’t dare to enter the spirit world here, and couldn’t remember the corresponding location through the spirit world, so she could only use some other small methods.

After completing the preliminary task, Harley opened her eyes slightly confused.

According to what God and Mystery once said, when he entered the City of Disaster again, the other two sequences – the extraordinary characteristics of the Doomsday Witch and the uniqueness of the Witch’s Path – should be able to directly feel Harley’s existence and directly accept the summons.

But now, Harry could only faintly feel three powerful and familiar high-level items in the distance, and those three items were motionless and had no tendency to come towards him.

“What happened?” Harley couldn’t help but frowned, after all, something unexpected happened at this time.

Her original plan was to wait here for a while, waiting for the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness to control the natives of the disaster city under the action of the extraordinary characteristics aggregation law to arrive.

When she arrived at the City of Disaster last time, Harley had already determined that there were many unknown beings here who were permanently bound and enslaved by the City of Disaster.

And all Harley has to do is kill it to obtain the extraordinary characteristics she needs.

A fierce battle will certainly not be avoided in this process, but this method is much safer than going deep into the City of Disaster to search for extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness.

Although Harley has been recognized by the City of Disaster when she was promoted to Sequence One, it stands to reason that she will not be in much danger.

But this place is after all a mysterious and terrifying source of energy, and Harley doesn’t have the guts to swim freely here.

But now, this plan has completely declared bankruptcy before it even started. This made Harley’s face look a little uncertain.

But it’s not necessarily an accident. Maybe it was the secret and God who didn’t reveal the actual situation to me at the beginning?

In other words, after all, this is a city of disaster, and the path taken by God and Mystery has no connection with this source of matter.

So it’s possible that even they themselves don’t understand the rules of how this city operates, and don’t know what will happen in the future. After the last time the two combined to block the arrival of other extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, perhaps this forced aggregation derived from the original setting disappeared completely.

Since she can’t figure out the truth, Harley can only re-plan the plan according to the current situation and personally obtain the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness.

After lamenting her bad luck, Harley’s face suddenly became distorted.

A silver gem with an inner surface as soft as silver water slowly emerged from the center of Harry’s eyebrows and shattered.

The bright silver inner part of the gem suddenly flowed freely, and finally turned into a shining silver braid, covering Harley’s body.

In order to hide the complex symbol between her eyebrows, Harley has been using an invisibility cloak to conceal its existence. Only this extraordinary item corresponding to the Sequence 2 Hidden Servant, coupled with Harley’s own power, could barely achieve this step.

And now, for the first time, the Potter family’s ancestral cloak of invisibility has been draped over its newest owner.

Originally, Harley was not going to go deep into the City of Disaster, but wanted to lure the extraordinary characteristics to take the initiative, so she did not use the invisibility cloak to hide her existence.

But now, Harley is heading deeper into the City of Disaster. She wouldn’t have the guts to hide it.

As the invisibility cloak enveloped Harley’s body, she was like a painting on a canvas, being erased from the air bit by bit by an eraser.

The stone streets were deserted and dead again, except that there seemed to be a flash of aboriginal figures behind some windows.

…………

Harley ran quickly down the street, trying not to make too much contact with the City of Disaster.

Every time she landed, she would tap the stone with her toes, lean forward, and then float forward for a long distance before landing again, repeating the previous action.

It seems that the timing of Harley’s arrival in the City of Disaster was not very good. The previous landing point of the stone arch in the source material was probably on the edge of a city, and the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of Sequence 1 are relatively close to the city. middle.

So Harley still needs to travel a long distance to reach her destination.

As Harley continued to move forward, some “human traces” began to appear on the originally empty streets ahead… which could barely be called “human traces”.

When traveling to a certain location, the air was suddenly filled with hazy pale white mist, and there were several more figures in the mist.

Figures were walking slowly on the street, wearing normal clothes, some were in suits and leather shoes, and some were wearing short-sleeved shirts and jeans.

Apart from walking slower, these figures looked no different from ordinary residents of the Muggle world.

But if you sneak up on a pedestrian and take a closer look, no one will think so.

Under these ordinary clothes, there is no normal human skin, but dark red flesh and blood, wounds still flowing with dark yellow pus, incomplete organs with traces of beast bites, and even white bones covered with blood. .

Harry noticed more than once that the pedestrians walking by were left with only a skull with some rotten flesh, a bloody spine and two clean white leg bones, and these bones looked very strange. connected together.

But even so, these weird creatures are still moving slowly and rhythmically on the stone road, as if everything is normal and nothing is out of the ordinary.

They wander the streets as if they have no purpose at all. But after lingering for a while, a monster may suddenly walk into a nearby house and even lock the door.

Going deeper, Harry even saw a broken carriage and a car with only its frame left.

The main body of the former is full of cracks and holes. Three of the legs of the horse pulling the cart are white bones, and half of the flesh and blood on the remaining legs is missing. Its body didn’t even have a single hair, but was covered with corpse spots;

The coachman driving the carriage had blue-black skin all over his body, and his clothes were swollen to the point where it looked like disgusting pus could flow out with just a poke, like a giant figure that occasionally appeared in Muggle murder cases;

The latter was full of rust, with only three wheels left, and the front hood was gone. The engine inside was covered with flesh and blood, and there were eyes that were constantly rotating in the flesh.

The car was full of passengers, but all the passengers had only one head, and their hair stood up, as if growing together with the iron sheet on the roof. The bottom of the head was empty, nothing. There was nothing in the driver’s seat, except for two bloody hands holding the steering wheel.

But even so, the car can still drive normally and looks very impressive.

These strange scenes are warning the living creatures who come to the City of Disaster that this is not a beautiful world.

Harley didn’t waste any more time on these weird things, but just silently increased her vigilance.

After traveling through the City of Disaster for who knows how long, Harley finally arrived at her first destination.

This is a supermarket, but when she saw the name of the supermarket, Harley’s expression became more serious.

Because this supermarket is Sainsbury’s, a chain store with a century-old history in Great Britain, and it is also a common place for ordinary Muggles to go for daily shopping.

Combined with the signs of damage on the familiar sign of this store, the familiar arrangement of merchandise that can be seen through the window, and various other details.

Harry was sure that this was the shop near the Dursley’s house.

But Harley still vaguely remembered that this store was destroyed by an underground natural gas pipeline explosion and the resulting fire when she was still in her second year at Hogwarts.

According to what the Dursleys said during their chat, nothing in the store could be saved, and even several store employees failed to escape.

And now, this store has appeared here inexplicably.

Thinking of this, Harley’s hand was already holding the wand tightly, and the spell was ready to be fired at any time.

Harley’s urge to use the witch’s abilities was completely suppressed, for fear of irritating the City of Disaster.

The invisibility cloak lifted up automatically and gathered back together.

Harley waved her wand lightly, attaching a transparent shell to the outside, and then melted it back into her brow.

She was just about to enter the supermarket when suddenly, there was a crisp sound from Harley’s neck: “Crack.”

A crooked line of blood appeared on Harley’s fair neck, as if it were a child’s random graffiti.

An invisible hand seemed to appear in the air and grabbed Harley’s head.

There was another series of “clicks” in her body, and Harley’s head was lifted directly by invisible hands, and the bloody spine was dragged out along the way.

All of Harley’s ribs and spine were broken in that series of “clicking” sounds. The power of the City of Disaster directly bypassed the witch’s passive life-saving ability and acted directly on Harley!

There was no change in expression on Harry’s face, but a wand suddenly fell out of her hair. The wand shattered instantly and turned into ashes all over the sky.

But this is not enough. When the mark of the City of Disaster is concealed, the damage that the City of Disaster can cause to the Extraordinaries of the two paths of witches and hunters is lower than that of other paths, but the damage is limited.

In addition, this is already the core area of ​​the City of Disaster, and using a mere wand to stand in would not be able to withstand so much transferred damage.

Then more wands fell from Harry’s long hair and turned into ashes before they hit the ground.

The ashes will be rolled up again by the hair and hidden somewhere.

It is not until the sixth wand is dropped that all damage is fully deflected.

Harley’s head and spine automatically fell back into her body, all the scars healed instantly, and the bones were fully connected, as if nothing had happened.

Harley couldn’t help but sigh softly: “This is the City of Disaster, the source of matter above Sequence Zero.”

She turned her head, rubbed her neck, and finally strode towards the supermarket.

As he got closer, Harry could see more clearly that the supermarket glass was full of tiny cracks, as if it had been hit hard by a giant hammer.

It stands to reason that after suffering such an injury, ordinary glass should be completely shattered.

But these glasses are still tenaciously connected together, with no trace of falling off.

Finally, Harley reached out and pushed open the supermarket door.

Almost at the same time, a voice sounded: “Hello, are you here for shopping?”

“Please come in.”

(ps. In the original City of Disaster, there is a Banxi telegraph office and a tram. Therefore, the author makes a reasonable guess that if those places were destroyed by the disaster, if they happen to be within the coverage of the City of Disaster, Corresponding traces will appear here. In the original book, the City of Disaster is located in the Western Continent. The scene that Klein saw through the fog is consistent with the Magic City during the Min Kingdom. There are horse-drawn carriages and trams, which should be considered to support the author’s conjecture.)

(In addition, this book does not involve the setting of fate. I have fully ordered it but haven’t read it yet. I heard that there is content about the Iron Cross Society. There may be conflicts in the setting. Please understand.) (End of this chapter)
