Chapter 392 Reversing Time
"This time, let's protect her. I need to leave for a while."
"Okay."
The little puppet's voice was very childish, like two little children, without sadness or anger, and the calm and well-behaved tone made Wade feel a little relieved.
This place was too dark and depressing. Even if it was cleaned up, the smell of blood seemed to be everywhere, which made people involuntarily think of the tragic experience of those children.
After leaving the ward, Wade ran a short distance and saw a big hole in the floor in front of him.
"Boom--"
Outside the window, a building collapsed, and the ghost-like Momo floated and swayed in the air, and then suddenly disappeared.
Wade gritted his teeth, took out the broom again and rode on it, kicked his feet and flew into the air, and then quickly passed through the window.
He needed to find Dumbledore as soon as possible.
Collapsed cars... collapsed buildings... and screaming soldiers being sucked into the silent...
"Help!"
A soldier who had been hiding somewhere suddenly jumped out, desperately running away, while reaching out to Wade who was flying in the sky.
Wade ignored him and flew directly over his head.
The black gas immediately engulfed the soldier.
A moment later, a boot flew out and hit the marble floor next to it.
The black gas, which was originally the size of a calf, has expanded dozens of times, and billowing black smoke swept through the base, with a flash of red light in the middle.
Buildings were constantly destroyed, and the rubble became part of the mist, hitting those screaming and running away like bullets.
Suddenly, a ball of black mist was suddenly dispersed, and a vacuum-like space appeared in the middle, and Wade's eyes lit up.
He finally saw Dumbledore.
The old man had stopped fighting the guards on the island. The soldiers were busy with their own affairs. Some of them shouted and shot at the black fog with guns, while others had already dropped their weapons and turned around and ran away.
Dumbledore held his wand in his hand and frowned at the wanton destruction of the Obscurus.
He might be the wizard in the world who knew the Obscurus best and had the most experience in fighting it. Even he felt difficult with this dark creature at the moment.
The Obscurus was a very special creature. Even if the fog was broken, as long as a small piece of it remained, the Obscurus could be resurrected.
Only when the Obscurus it was hosting died would the Obscurus completely die together.
There was another way to separate the Obscurus from the host and preserve it in the magic energy field.
But that was too difficult... Only Scamander had succeeded in doing it under extremely accidental circumstances.
Dumbledore was observing and weighing the pros and cons when he suddenly heard a gust of wind. Wade fell from the sky on a broom and landed beside him.
"Professor!"
"Ved, are you hurt?" Dumbledore looked at him and asked with concern.
"Huh?"
Ved was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and wiped it, then he found that he was also splashed with a lot of blood.
It was when Mabel tore the man apart before, the blood splashed on him.
"This is not my blood, it's Mabel... Oh, Mabel is a girl I met in the dungeon, the host of the Obscurus..."
Ved quickly explained what happened before.
Rescuing people in the dungeon, rushing to the laboratory, the dark deal on the island, Mabel's abnormal state, and the little girl he saw after separation...
He spent two minutes quickly telling his previous experience, and then said:
"The person who saved the girl should be me - I can feel the magic from her. But to save her, I think I may need your help..."
The time converter can make time go back, but after going back, Ved will not move to where he was before, but will still be on the island.
At that time, he and Dumbledore had not yet landed on the island. There were not only a large number of soldiers on the island, but also a strong magnetic field against wizards.
If it was just Wade alone, it would be very difficult to deal with these. But if Dumbledore was added, there would be no problem.
But after listening to Wade's idea, Dumbledore shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Wade, I can't use the time turner with you."
Dumbledore said gently: "In order to avoid abuse, the Ministry of Magic has attached a lot of restrictive magic to the time turner lent to you, including age restrictions."
"Adults can't use the time turner in your hand - including me."
Wade was a little disappointed, but not too surprised. He just held the time turner tightly and asked, "What should I do, sir?"
"You need to return to Hogwarts, get enough potion to save the girl, and then come back to this place - so you still need a door key."
Dumbledore took out a golden key from his pocket and whispered: "Mentos!"
The golden key trembled, as if it wanted to break free from the headmaster's hand and fly away, emitting a strange blue light, and then gradually stopped and returned to its original appearance.
He handed the key to Wade and said, "The portkey will be activated in ten minutes. After returning to Hogwarts, you have twenty minutes to prepare what you need, and then it will take you back to the island."
"It's a good idea to save the girl and use the relationship between them to let the Obscurus return to the host. After the Obscurus calms down, the Obscurus will also calm down."
"But if you really can't save anyone, don't be depressed - there are always things we can't do."
"One more thing, you have to remember - after reversing time, you can't change anything that has already happened. Anything you do can only create the reality you noticed before reversing time."
Vader held the key and nodded vigorously.
Dumbledore waved his wand and removed all the blood and dust on Vader that he hadn't noticed, then smiled and said, "Good luck, Vader."
"I'll be back soon, sir."
Vader mounted his broom again and soared into the sky.
The entire island's defense system had completely collapsed after being destroyed by Dumbledore and Obscurus. It was also for this reason that Vader was able to fly as he pleased at this time.
Wade was flying in the sky, only to see that the beautiful white building had been completely turned into ruins, a helicopter was stuck on the ground, broken into two parts, and the fuselage was engulfed in raging fire.
The island's already fragile ecosystem must have been severely damaged, and I don't know if it is possible to recover.
The location of the dungeon is relatively remote, and there is no possibility of being affected yet...
Wade thought this way and noticed that the cliffs on the coast stretched out diagonally, and there was a reef below. It was hidden and quiet, and there were no cameras installed around it.
He pressed his broomstick and flew straight over, landing on a fairly flat rock.
The gray-black stones were washed by the sea water, moist and smooth, with slippery moss growing on them, and the surroundings were filled with a fishy smell of the sea.
Vader stood carefully, looked at the time, then put away his broom, took out the time turner, and dialed it back.
He didn't need to reverse the situation for too long, because earlier, he and Dumbledore were still on the way to find the island. At that time, the island's defense force was at its strongest, and there was also a magnetic field that was turned on from time to time. Too unkind to a wizard like him.
The familiar kaleidoscope scene passed quickly, and Wade's eyes were dazzled - the cliff was still the same cliff, the stones were still as smooth, and the surrounding light had changed somewhat.
The most important thing is that there is one more person in front of Wade!
That was a soldier hiding in such a dangerous place, secretly puffing away smoke.
He was in a state of levity under the influence of some white medicine, lying on the stone in a daze, looking at the sky and giggling.
Even in this state, he could still notice if there was someone suddenly around him.
The soldier looked at Vader in astonishment, and then seemed to think that Vader was his imagination, and smiled stupidly:
"Hahaha... why didn't you turn into a beautiful woman? Forget it, that's okay..."
The soldier stood up unsteadily and took just two steps when his foot suddenly slipped and he fell off the stone.
The dark sea water swallowed the person with a roar.
Wade glanced at it and held the key.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a hook yanking behind his belly button, and his whole body was pulled flying up. He couldn't tell up, down, left, and right, and he just felt like he was flying forward——
With a "boom", Vader fell to the ground. He put his hands on the ground and stood up quickly.
"Wow——"
There was a heavy rain, which made him wet all over.
Several Bowtruckles, which were holding leaves to hide from the rain, were startled by Wade's sudden appearance. They quickly ran to a higher position in the tree, and then cautiously poked their heads out to observe him.
Thunder rumbled across the sky, and lightning suddenly illuminated the surrounding area, then quickly dimmed again.
Vader wiped the water from his face, cast a spell to keep out the rain, stood up and took a look, and found that he had been sent to the maze by Dumbledore.
This place now looks like a magical version of a playground. Sometimes through the bush wall, you can still hear the screams and laughter of the students inside.
Vader suddenly realized that because the magic level gap between him and ordinary students was too big, he had not entered the maze for a long time.
However, the maze was very quiet today, but the Quidditch pitch was extremely noisy.
Vader suddenly realized that the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin was not over yet - probably because of the weather, it was difficult for the two seekers to find the Golden Snitch, so they had been playing since morning until now.
He only had twenty minutes.
Vader wasted no time, mounted his broom and flew directly through the window into the school infirmary. Madam Pomfrey, who was treating a student for a cold, was startled by him.
"Wade Gray? You should walk in through the door..."
Madam Pomfrey almost put the potion on the student's head. She angrily condemned, but after seeing Vader's expression, her voice stopped abruptly.
Madam Pomfrey pulled up the curtain on the hospital bed, walked quickly towards Vader, and then asked in a low voice: "What happened, child?"
"Madam Pomfrey, if a person's heart and kidneys are removed, and a large amount of blood is lost at the same time, and then the organs are taken back in a short period of time - how can this person be saved?"
"I need a potion that can cure this injury," Vader said.
Upon hearing such a strange question, Madam Pomfrey did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Vader's eyes carefully and asked, "Where is the patient?"
"In the future," Vader said, "what I'm talking about has not happened yet."
"Are you kidding me, kid?" Madam Pomfrey frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
"I am very serious." Vader took out the golden key given to him by Dumbledore and said, "I am here under Dumbledore's entrustment."
Madam Pomfrey's expression changed again when she saw the key.
"That kind of terrible injury can't be solved by a few bottles of magic potion. What you need is me!"
She decisively took off her apron and threw it aside. With a wave of her magic wand, the medicine shelf in the corner, various shiny silver instruments, and bottles and cans all flew up, clattering to the shelf, and finally turned into a Compact suitcase.
The student on the hospital bed had just drank the magic potion, and there was smoke coming from his head.
Curiously, she opened a corner of the bed curtain and looked at the two people talking outside.
"By the way, Severus has a few bottles of treasured blood replenishing potions, which are potions boiled out of basilisk blood. He has been reluctant to take them out. This time it's time to use them."
Madam Pomfrey said as she waved her wand again, and a shiny silver object flew out through the window.
"Okay, I'll give him a message and we'll set off once Severus delivers the potion."
Madam Pomfrey said briskly.
Wade was so shocked by her resolute actions that he could hardly speak.
"What other instructions does Dumbledore have?" Madam Pomfrey asked again.
Wade shook his head and said, "No."
"When do you leave?"
"About thirteen minutes."
"What situation did you encounter?"
Vader hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and Dumbledore didn't say that this matter needed to be kept secret. The most important thing is that there must be no way to hide the murder of so many children.
So he quickly and concisely explained his previous findings.
Although Vader did not describe in detail all the horrors he saw, just the words "organ trading" can make Madam Pomfrey have enough associations.
"Evil, despicable scum! How dare they...how dare they treat some children like this..."
Madam Pomfrey's face turned pale with anger, her nostrils opened and closed, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, which startled Snape who came in the rain.
He was a little afraid to say the words he was about to refuse. After thinking about it for a moment, he said tentatively:
"Poppy, I don't have a few bottles of the potion you want. I'll give you one... how about two bottles? Seriously, use such a precious potion on these little brats who like to cause trouble, really. There’s no need…it’s such a waste…”
Professor Snape's voice became lower and lower, and then he saw Vader next to him and was also stunned.
"What happened?" he asked.
