In the black and white world, huge light pillars penetrate the sky and the earth, and countless dark threads grow upward from the depths of the earth like blood vessels, gradually wrapping the entire forest.

Dark purple light seeped out from the cracks in the ground, and those lights reflected on everyone's face, like breath from another world.

A long scream came from the light pillar, like a sleeping giant being awakened.

The sound penetrated directly into the head and vibrated in the skull cavity.

Lin Ze's knees softened and he almost knelt down.

There was a "plop" sound from behind, and Quinn was already kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Amy squatted on the ground and used the wand to bind Protective Charm to herself and Quinn, but Lin Ze could see her hands shaking.

After the scream, Aila slowly lowered his arms in mid-air.

The black light beam began to shrink, getting faster and faster, and finally broke suddenly like a string being pulled from both ends at the same time.

"Boom--"

A black shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with Aila as the center. Everything in its path was turned into black ashes, like paper ashes blown away by a gust of wind, floating to the sky.

Newt stood in front of several people, and the surging magic power formed a wall, blocking all impacts.

After the impact, the world in front of us is quickly regaining its color, with grass, trees, and lakes reappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if someone is using a paintbrush to paint the world back to its original color bit by bit.

Aila floating in the air is falling slowly, like a light feather.

Newt stepped forward and gently caught her.

The little girl's eyes were closed tightly, her breathing was steady, and there was a slight smile on her face.

Fifty meters ahead, a dark mist slowly emerged.

"Danlin." Newt said softly.

The mist flashed in front of Newt, stretched out a long tentacle and caressed Newt's robe.

The black mist circled around Newt, as if communicating with Newt.

It floated to Quinn and stopped for a moment, then floated to Amy, and finally stopped in front of Lin Ze.

Lin Ze I feel like all the hairs on my body stand up.

"She... wants to say hello to you." Newt hugged Aila and explained softly.

"Uh..."

Lin Ze stiffened his face, raised his right hand and shook it twice. "Hi..."

The fog floated up and down twice, as if in response.

Danlin bypassed Lin Ze, returned to Newt, turned into a slender black silk ribbon, and gently wrapped it around Aila's wrist.

The black silk and Aila's skin stick together, making it impossible to tell the difference.

"This is?" Lin Ze frowned slightly.

"Danlin just told me that before Aila learns how to control it, it can help stabilize the Obscurus in her body." Newt said.

Can this thing still communicate?

Lin Ze glanced at Newt in surprise. This old man is indeed a legendary wizard. He can master the level of power of Obscurus, which is enough for him to challenge any wizard in the magic world, even Dumbledore.

However, Newt's naturally inflexible character and unwillingness to participate in disputes destined him to only be Magizoologist.

After the black silk ribbon was wrapped around Aila's wrist, the color gradually faded, and finally turned into a circle of almost invisible light gray thin lines, like a birthmark on the little girl's wrist.

"Danlin left a part of himself in Aila's body to help her relieve the negative emotions caused by Obscurus, but this does not guarantee that it will be foolproof. Aila still needs to be given enough positive guidance."

Several people returned to the wooden shed.

Newt put Aila on an old wooden bed covered with a thick wool blanket, and covered her with a thin blanket.

The little girl slept deeply, breathing evenly, smacking her lips occasionally, wondering what good things she was eating in her dreams.

About half an hour later, Aila woke up.

The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to raise her wrist to look.

"There is a small circle." Aila raised his wrist and brought it to his eyes, as if admiring a new piece of jewelry.

"Do you like it?" Newt asked.

"I like it." Aila nodded, then looked at Lin Ze, "Did I look that dark again just now?"

"Well, it's quite impressive." Lin Ze said.

"Really?" Aila's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Yes, it dug a big hole in the sky here." Quinn pointed to the top of his head with lingering fear.

Amy coughed twice, and Aila stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

The living room of Quinn's house was warmly illuminated by the fire of the fireplace. Amy went to the kitchen to cook a pot of thick soup with bread, and several people gathered around the coffee table to have a meal.

After Aila finished drinking the soup, he leaned on the sofa and dozed off, and was finally carried back to the room by Amy.

Newt stood up to say goodbye, and left a way to contact him so that Quinn could easily contact him when needed.

After sending Newt away, Lin Ze sat slumped on the sofa.

"Have you thought about the professor's matter?" Lin Ze asked.

"I've thought about it, I'll go."

After he finished speaking, he added, "But I have to meet with Dumbledore first. Some things need to be discussed in person."

"Are you worried about the curse on that position?" Lin Ze asked.

"Yes, although it is just a rumor, there have been many real examples over the years, so I have to think more about it."

Lin Ze nodded, this is human nature.

The two chatted for a few more words, then Lin Ze stood up and left.

When I returned to my small attic, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

The dilapidated attic looked increasingly deserted late at night.

When he was about to sleep, he suddenly found an oil-paper envelope taped to the window.

Lin Ze Open the window and take the envelope in.

"Lin, the minister will see you at nine o'clock tomorrow at the location Minister's Office--Scrimgeour"

Lin Ze crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the table, then fell back on the bed.

Okay, Millicent·Bagnold wants to see him again.

This old-school witch has killed a lot of Death Eaterss since she took office, and she has slowly won a lot of hearts among Ministry of Magics.

He had just rescued Longbottoms and arrested Voldemort's number one fan "Bellatrix". This minister was going to see him. Needless to say, he knew that he wanted to give him some benefits.

After all, I have been in the limelight a lot these days. If the ministry doesn't show any signs of it, others will inevitably talk about it behind my back.

The next morning, Lin Ze got up from the bed and tidied up in front of the mirror for a rare ten minutes.

He put on a newly bought dark gray robe, with the Auror badge pinned on his chest, and pressed his hair with his hands wet with water.

At five minutes to nine, he arrived at the door of Minister's Office.

After knocking on the door, the assistant opened the door for him.

Bagnold was sitting behind the desk, still looking serious, with his hair neatly combed and the collar of his robe tied to the top button.

"Sit."

Lin Ze sits down with a straight posture.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Bagnold asked.

"Not sure."

Bagnold pushed a document in front of him.

Lin Ze looked down and saw that it was a draft. The drafter was Barty·Crouch.

Written above is the appointment and position of Lin Ze.

"The ministry has just decided to expand the official establishment of Special Operations Team to three groups. You will lead one." Bagnold said.

Lin Ze's eyelids twitched.

"What? Not willing?" Bagnold saw that Lin Ze didn't respond, so he asked.
