Bai Lin ran down the hillside and felt relieved when he saw Qiqi getting up from the flower field rubbing her head.
Everyone looked at the figure in the pit. He was wearing a very elegant formal suit and a neat little bow tie. He was holding a gentleman's staff in one hand and an ancient book with a hard cover in the other hand. Not like a priest or preacher, but like a nobleman fresh from the king's banquet.
"Aha, I seem to be a little late. Poor Lebahar, he is a little unlucky." The gentleman seemed to be walking on the path of his own manor, and with every step he took, the soil on the ground automatically turned into The black marble steps seemed to prevent his shoes from getting a speck of dust on them.
Bai Lin pulled Yu Qian behind him and took a few steps forward. The "ball lightning" in the pit gradually disappeared. Only then did Bai Lin see the other person's face clearly. It was a young face with a chin. He has a short and neat beard, a hooked nose, and thin lips. The only thing that makes people feel uneasy and uncomfortable is his eyes. His eyes are surprisingly large, but there are no whites. It seems that there are more than 5 pupils in each eye.
"Compound-eyed monster?" Bai Lin couldn't help blurting out.
"It's so rude...Messenger of the Sun God, is that what you call yourselves? I am the war messenger Asatel, the adjutant of General Gracua, the loyal retainer of the master, and the ignorant earthlings. You are so fragile and hypocritical. ..." The other party said slowly.
"There's no need for you, an alien monster, to make irresponsible remarks to the people on Earth!" Bai Lin shouted coldly.
"No, no! You are mistaken..." Asatel did not seem to be in a hurry to take action, but said as a teacher to his students: "We have also settled on the earth, even earlier than the emergence of humans, but For some special reasons, we briefly left for tens of thousands of years... Logically speaking, humans are more like outsiders than us... This earth is particularly special..."
"You have invaded other earths?" Bai Lin was a little worried about his original world. If it was attacked by the judges of the old days, who could step forward in time to prevent the crisis? The results were disastrous.
"Aha! You are thirsty for knowledge... Then why not join the master's embrace... You will know everything you want to know!" Asatel said in a persuasive way.
"Then I'm afraid I have to tell you that the earth does not welcome you. Go where you came from!" Bai Lin was too lazy to engage in confrontation with Asatel, lest he unknowingly played some unseen psychic magic on him. , Bai Lin didn't feel that he and his teammates could handle it with confidence.
Asat'el's face turned cold, he waved his cane and said: "Stupid humans, have you ever seen the magnificent history, and have you never known what is the destined fate and the way forward... Asat'el will show you today future!"
"WC! This guy wants to..." Bai Lin flew up and thought of interrupting Asat'el's spellcasting with a shadow arrow, but a ball of darkness suddenly rose from Asat'el's cane, and instantly formed a Before Bai Lin, Qiqi, Kaka, and Yu Qian had time to react, they were ruthlessly sucked into the vortex without knowing whether it was their bodies or their minds. There was no room for resistance at all.
The four people's vision went dark, and their bodies seemed to have been pushed down the steps and fell heavily to the ground.
Bai Lin opened his eyes and saw that the sky was actually bright. Although there was a deep haze in the air and the buildings in the distance could not be seen clearly, Bai Lin still recognized them and they appeared in the alleys of London.
To be more precise, this is not London in the 1990s, but a more modern London. Bai Lin glanced at a dusty sports car parked in the alley. He estimated that it might be in 2020, or maybe further away. a little.
A graffiti on the wall of the alley caught Bai Lin's eye. It was a black silhouette of a witch, screaming amid the raging fire. It looked like a medieval witch hunt.
Bai Lin was stunned. Qiqi had already reached the entrance of the alley and said sideways: "You should take a look at this..."
The three people stepped forward and took a look, and were shocked by the sight in front of them.
This place seems to have experienced a shockingly destructive melee. Countless houses were destroyed, large areas of buildings collapsed, and many large holes were blasted on the road. Not far away, half of a bridge was broken. I don’t know where it came from. It flew over and destroyed a residential building. On the other side of the street, there was a huge bottomless crack.
"This is... caused by black magic..." Kaka said: "A magic war?"
"Something is coming!" Qiqi said,
Bai Lin followed Qiqi and hid in a dark corner. Looking through the gap, he saw a drone flying out of the haze. Yes, that's right, it was a drone with four rotors. But the drone not only had They even set up a camera and a firearm.
Qiqi whispered in surprise: "It's a secret firearm... This strange thing is used to hunt down wizards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a second and third drone flew out of the haze... Finally, there were thirty or forty drones, forming a formation and searching everywhere in the ruins.
Bai Lin was so shocked that he couldn't speak. If such a drone formation had its own magic immunity, wouldn't it mean that no grass would grow wherever the hunting wizards went?
The drone formation flew slowly past, with five remaining in the end, and the others flew away into the distance.
At this time, the green light on a drone not far away suddenly turned into a red light, and an alarm sounded on the drone: "Wizard found, activate hunting mode!"
The other four drones immediately surrounded them, but they saw a figure rushing out of the ruins. The figure threw a scarf into the air. The scarf instantly became dozens of times larger, blocking the drone's field of view. The man ran so fast that he rushed towards the alley where Bai Lin and the others were.
Although he really didn't want anyone to attract those weird drones, Bai Lin couldn't stop that person's actions. Fortunately, his scarf interfered with the drones, and he miraculously rushed through the cloth vehicle. The dusty sports car even let out a surprised "Huh?" when it passed by Bai Lin and the others. But he rushed to the alley without stopping, quickly pulled up a manhole cover on the ground, and jumped in.
Bai Lin looked back, and saw that the drone had shot the scarf into pieces, and was about to turn towards them. Bai Lin gritted his teeth, waved to his teammates, and the four of them stretched out towards the alley as if they were flying. He ran out and followed the figure into the manhole cover.
The bullshit pipes in London are not as grand as those in Berlin and New York. They are only about one meter high. Not to mention the stench, everyone has to step on the sewage and huddle up to move through the sewers.
Bai Lin walked a few dozen meters forward and found that the figure in front seemed to be waiting for him. He stepped forward and saw that it was a wizard in his fifties or sixties. His face was a little old, but his spirit and physique were quite good.
"Why are you following me here!" The wizard said a little unhappy.
"While we were fighting the enemy in Italy, we were accidentally teleported here. Can I ask what happened?" Bai Lin said half-truthfully.
The wizard looked at Bai Lin and said, "You are indeed wizards... Italy? How is the war?"
Bai Lin said vaguely: "It's similar to here. The enemy is very powerful..."
The wizard breathed out bitterly and said: "This is a premeditated genocide! The Muggles threw a thing called a missile directly towards London and exploded it in the sky above London. Then, all the wizards in London were There is no need for teleportation magic anymore, Apparition, Floo Powder, Portkeys...all are ineffective, and then those flying weird things start to massacre the wizards!"
"Has anyone fought with them? I think the city was seriously injured by the war!" Bai Lin asked.
"Oh! They are two wizard saviors!" said the wizard: "They led many wizards to fight those machine monsters head-on. However, no matter how powerful the black magic is, the damage to those machine monsters is very limited. However, the efforts of the saviors have saved hundreds of wizards and allowed them to hide... Maybe after some time, the smog will dissipate, and everyone should be able to escape using teleportation magic..."
"Saviors? What are their names?" Kaka asked curiously.
The wizard said without thinking: "It doesn't hurt to tell, their names are Kelly White and Tom Riddle!"
"What?" The four of them opened their mouths in surprise, making them feel like they could just stuff a few braised eggs into it. The evil Voldemort, the feared dark wizard Tom Riddle, turned into a savior, and the other one turned out to be Bai Lin himself.
"Why are you surprised? Follow me, we will see the savior soon..." the wizard murmured.
As the wizard led them through the labyrinth of underground pipes, chatting as they walked, Bai Lin found out that the wizard was called Dawan, and he lived in many places in London. He was also considered a local snake, and Bai Lin did not reveal his name, and He calls himself "Pailin".
Everyone walked in the sewer for about forty minutes before Dawan said: "We're almost there!"
Not long after, Bai Lin noticed a glimmer of light in front of him. He continued walking, and Dawan reached a shaft. He climbed up the steel ladder along the shaft wall. Bai Lin climbed up and found out that it was an abandoned subway station.
The entire subway station was dark, except for a small platform surrounded by a few oil lamps floating in the air, and a few wizards using fluorescent lights to illuminate it.
On the stage not far away, a middle-aged man was making an impassioned speech, and a group of ragged people surrounded him.
"That's the savior!" Dhawan said happily.
Bai Lin turned his head and saw Qiqi frowning and her muscles tense. He nodded towards Qiqi and told her to relax.
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it... Let's adapt accordingly!" Bai Lin said in a low voice.
Kaka and Bai Lin exchanged a look, and Yu Qian followed Bai Lin obediently, as if I was going to hit wherever the captain pointed me.
"This is a provocation to God! Before Muggles had writing in England, wizards had already created extraordinary achievements! As we all know! The Ollivander family has been making wands since 400 BC, when Muggles in Britain were still A savage who drinks blood from his hair!" the middle-aged man said loudly.
"Pure-blood wizards should be the masters of the world! Wizards helped Muggles build civilization, but in the end, Muggles turned out to be ungrateful! Trying to commit genocide against wizards is going against heaven! It's treason!" the middle-aged man said emotionally.
Bai Lin came closer and was startled by the appearance of the middle-aged man. This is who he will be decades later! That hair color, those facial features, and the cat claw-shaped scar on his forehead. He quickly straightened his bangs and covered the scar on his head.
The middle-aged Bai Lin's words aroused widespread recognition among the wizards in the audience. Everyone was excited, clenching their fists and roaring, as if Muggles attacking wizards violated God's will.
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at deceiving..." Kaka approached Bai Lin and whispered.
"There's something wrong here, it's definitely not the future..." Bai Lin whispered. Before he finished speaking, another middle-aged man stepped onto the small platform and stood side by side with middle-aged Bai Lin. Bai Lin looked at it and couldn't help but frown. A wrinkle.
The man was tall and thin, with a long face and deep eyes that seemed to be full of wisdom. He had hair that was even blacker than Bai Lin's. He was clearly an older version of Tom Riddle.
"Decades ago... people regarded me as the Demon King! Just because I saw through the fog of the future! The world must be ruled by pure-blood wizards! You and I should both become kings and nobles! All Muggles should submit to the feet of wizards !" Tom Riddle said solemnly.
"This is just a dream... Asatel's trick..." Bai Lin whispered to his teammates. He knew very well what Voldemort would look like after he was resurrected, and he looked exactly like a runaway boy, let alone whether he could live to the 21st century.
"All wizards! As long as we unite and show no mercy! Muggles..." Tom Riddle was getting more and more excited as he spoke. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the destroyed entrance of the subway station.
Boom! boom! The huge explosion caused the ground under everyone's feet to shake violently. Muggle troops must have blasted the entrance that was blocked by collapsed rocks.
A bright light came from the entrance to the station, followed by the sound of gunshots. More than a dozen drones got in from the blasted gap and started shooting at the gathering of wizards without saying a word.
"There are many obstacles!" The middle-aged Bai Lin on the stage shouted, and a stone wall suddenly rose up in the passage, blocking the heavy wizard. However, some wizards were still shot and screamed in pain.
Tom Riddle waved his hand, and the wizards surrounding them were instantly pushed out of a passage. He walked confidently off the platform and faced the drone.
"These machines, the Petrification Curse, the Stunning Curse, the Disarming Curse and even the Unforgivable Curse are all ineffective against them, but there are still some spells that can harm them!" Tom Riddle said.
As he spoke, he pointed the wand in his hand at the nearest drone that was shooting. Two huge concrete blocks suddenly seemed like two slices of toast sandwiching ham, clamping the drone up and down. It was instantly crushed to pieces.
"Shattered to pieces!" Tom Riddle pointed at another drone, and suddenly the drone exploded violently. They were not flesh and blood, and they would also be harmed by the Shattered Bones curse.
Tom Riddle gave the wizards a perfect demonstration. The wizards shouted slogans and rushed towards the drone.
