Lin Ze It was already past one o'clock in the morning when he returned to his small loft.
He carefully took off his coat and checked the injury on his shoulder.
The wound was not very big, just a puncture hole as thick as a little finger, with a strange bluish-black color on the edge.
The terrible thing is that this wound cannot be healed by "Healing Charm" at all.
Lin Ze took out the half-full bottle of Essence of Dittany, gritted his teeth and poured a few drops on it.
When the essence falls on the wound, it makes a "sizzling" sound, like water splashing from a hot oil pan.
Lin Ze grimaced in pain, and the wound shrank visibly.
"It's done!"
Just as he was about to be happy, he saw that the wound slowly opened up like a living thing and returned to its original size.
"..."
"Fuck."
Damn Barty Crouch Jr..
If I had known, I wouldn't have left any head for him when I buried him!
That prison spell obviously has the same characteristics as Snape's "Sectumsempra".
It cannot be cured by conventional treatments.
Fortunately, the wound was still there, and although it was scary, it didn't bleed.
Lin Ze cursed and found a roll of gauze to wrap his shoulders, then fell on the bed and decided to find a professional to take a look tomorrow.
Lin Ze I had a very restless sleep this night.
In the dream, he was chased by a dark green Fire Serpent for eight streets. He finally reached the entrance of the alley and bumped into Lucius Malfoy standing there. The five-pointed star Winky on the back of his hand was shining. He grinned at him and shouted "For the Greater Good" while laughing.
Then Barty Crouch Jr.'s head emerged from the soil of Scottish Highlands, saying that he was a "radish" and needed watering to grow faster.
Then he dreamed that he was taking an iron bucket to fetch water for Barty Crouch Jr., fetching water again and again, and watering him again and again...
Until he felt that his legs could not walk at all, and then he suddenly trembled.
Lin Ze opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the floor, with his legs holding the bedside table between his legs at some point...
Rub!
Pushing the bedside table, he rubbed his right leg which was a little bleeding from the pressure, and Lin Ze looked at the time.
Well...
Fortunately, eleven o'clock in the evening...
Huh?
Wrong!
I seemed to have arrived just after one o'clock last night...
Oh Shet!
Overslept!
Lin Ze A carp jumped up from the floor and hurriedly grabbed the communication badge thrown on the bedside.
He thought about it and contacted Moody.
"I was chasing a clue last night and got into a fight with someone. I suffered a minor injury. I asked for leave today to get treatment."
"You brat, please ask for leave as soon as possible if you have something to do in the future. Fortunately, everyone in our team is outside except Ben. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Barty that you suddenly disappeared." Moody's loud voice came from the communication badge.
After the conversation, Lin Ze threw the badge on the bed, turned over some clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Although this attic is a bit shabby, fortunately there is a narrow bathroom inside.
After taking a shower, he made himself a pot of coffee and managed to finish the meal with a dry baguette.
After re-bandaging his shoulders with gauze, Lin Ze put on his robe and flew directly to Knockturn Alley "Apparition".
He was standing in front of a shabby-looking drug store.
There is a rusty iron sign Scabbers hanging on the store's facade, which reads "Petrov Apothecary, cures all diseases and is the first choice for hidden injuries."
This is where Moody just recommended him in the communication badge.
Lin Ze pushed open the store door, and the copper bell on the door "dinged".
The space inside the drug store is quite large, and it was obviously treated with Undetectable Extension Charm.
The pharmacist behind the counter is an old man.
He has gray hair, a long nose, and a pair of glasses on the tip of his nose. He is the owner of this drug store, Petrov.
"Dark Magic's wound still has the remaining power of the spell attached to it. Your injury is not serious, young man." Petrov said after checking Lin Ze's wound.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and placed the small cloth bag in his hand on the counter.
"Can it be cured?"
Petrov glanced at the small cloth bag, then shook his head and pushed it back to Lin Ze.
"It can't be cured."
"Why?"
"This spell is beyond the scope of ordinary Dark Magic. The layer of things attached to the wound will continue to corrode your flesh and blood. Ordinary Healing Charm has no effect on it, and Essence of Dittany can only suppress it temporarily."
"I have no better way now, unless..."
"Unless what?" Lin Ze asked.
"Unless... find someone with higher magical attainments than the caster, and ask him to forcibly remove the spell from your body."
"Then can you help me?" Lin Ze pushed the small cloth bag over again.
"I'm just a pharmacist. Although I live a long time, not everyone who lives a long time can become Dumbledore." Petrov pushed the cloth bag back to Lin Ze again.
Lin Ze came out of the drug store and stood in the wet alley Knockturn Alley, thinking about where to go next.
After a long time, Lin Ze took out the silver badge, held it in his hand, and input the magic power.
The badge became hot, and after a few seconds, the badge made a lazy sound.
"I thought you wouldn't look for me."
"I'm hurt and need help."
There was silence on the other end. "Dark Magic?"
"Yes, the pharmacist said that I need to find a very powerful person to help me remove that layer of curse."
"Where are you?"
"Knockturn Alley."
"Stay there and don't move."
The next second, the space in front of Lin Ze cracked, and Rodna had already stepped out with one foot.
Lin Ze suddenly shouted, "Wait! Don't come out yet!"
"What?"
"There are people here, can you keep a low profile? Find a place where no one is around to open this thing." Lin Ze looked around carefully.
"Trouble."
The crack closed again.
Then Lin Ze felt someone grabbing his robe.
The next moment, he felt like he was being sucked into a hole.
When he opened his eyes again, he arrived in the study room again. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. Rodna was holding a crystal cup in his hand and lazily leaning against the bookshelf.
"Take off your clothes."
"..."
"What are you thinking about? Show me your injuries." Rodna glanced at him angrily.
Lin Ze calmly opened his cloak, revealing his shoulders wrapped in gauze.
Rodna only glanced at it and frowned.
"This is not caused by the regular black Charms. It is probably the Charms created by some guy who is obsessed with Dark Magic."
Rodna turned around and pulled out a blue-covered book from the bookshelf, turned to a certain page, and tore off a page without even looking at it.
Lin Ze watched helplessly as the page was crumpled into a ball by Rodna, and then ignited into a silver-white flame with a "pop" sound.
"Hey, that's a book!" Lin Ze shouted subconsciously.
"I'm tearing up my own book and playing with it. What's wrong?" Rodna didn't even raise his head and pressed the burning paper ball against the wound on Lin Ze's shoulder.
"Fuck-"
Lin Ze almost jumped out of the chair.
Silver-white flames were like little snakes, burrowing into the flesh along the wounds on his shoulders.
It felt like someone poured a pot of boiling chili oil into the wound.
"Don't move." Rodna pressed his shoulder with one hand, as hard as a vise.
Lin Ze It hurt so much that veins popped up on his forehead, and his teeth gritted loudly, but he insisted on not making a sound.
