Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 407 The Most Secretive Place: The Death Penalty Room of the Mysterious Affairs Department!

Dudley was surprised, and at the same time realized where Professor Trelawney's prophecy of the 'ultimately hidden place' referred to.

It is the execution chamber of the Department of Mysteries, located on the ninth floor below the British Ministry of Magic.

The Department of Mysteries is the most confidential and mysterious department of the British Ministry of Magic. Its members are known as the 'Silent Men' and are responsible for researching high-level magical mysteries.

At the same time, the Department of Mysteries is also responsible for storing and keeping some extremely special, dangerous, and mysterious magical items.

Dudley's understanding of the Mysteries Department's magical research categories, based on the original story, includes: love, prophecy, time, thought, outer space, and death.

Each research category corresponds to a hall within the Department of Mysteries.

The execution chamber corresponds to the magic category of 'death' and stores the physical veil, a magical item with the attribute of death.

In the original story, Voldemort, after his body was resurrected, wanted to obtain the Savior Prophecy Crystal Ball stored in the Department of Mysteries' Hall of Prophecy in order to learn the third prophecy of the Savior that Snape had not overheard, and to find inspiration to deal with his nemesis Harry.

Let the Death Eaters set a trap, falsely claiming that Sirius Black has been captured and taken to the Ministry of Magic, to lure Harry to the Hall of Prophecy in the Department of Mysteries, to unlock the magic attached to the crystal ball containing the prophecy of the Savior, so that they can directly steal the information.

Driven by his eagerness to save lives, Harry rushed to the Ministry of Magic without verifying the information.

Sirius Black heard the news and rushed to help.

As a result, during the great battle in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius was hit by a Killing Curse from his cousin Bellatrix, and his soul and body fell into the physical curtain of the execution chamber.

According to the original story and the system's current assessment, this physical curtain has similar characteristics to the Thestrals; only those who have witnessed death can see it.

If you get close to the physical curtain, you can hear the voices of the deceased speaking from behind it.

This physical curtain is a back door left by Death in the world of the living; it is a special portal that connects the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Dudley multitask, analyzing and thinking on one hand, and using his conceptual perception ability to keep a close eye on Death's movements on the other.

They discovered that Death had temporarily stopped moving, as if sensing something.

Dudley then intended to use a conceptual repair spell to attack him remotely.

But then Death suddenly moved, extending its withered, sharp claws toward the two prey that had come to it.

Two 'silent' employees of the Department of Mysteries—Broderick Bode and Saul Crocker—happened to be patrolling the execution chamber and discovered Death, the uninvited guest.

However, judging from their reactions, they probably didn't see the true face of Death.

Because instead of being surprised or wary, they were moved to tears and overwhelmed with emotion.

The way they looked at each other was hardly like seeing a humanoid gray fog monster reaching out its claws; it was as if they had seen long-lost relatives and loved ones.

Bode and Crocker didn't reach for their wands, nor did they show the slightest bit of wariness. Both were in tears, stretched out their arms, and slowly walked toward the physical curtain.

It was as if their loved ones were right in front of them, guiding them forward, through the physical curtain, toward death.

When the two reached Death's side, Death lowered his claws and shifted his position slightly to make way for them, allowing them to continue following him as if possessed, closer to the physical curtain.

Although Death's face was also shrouded in gray mist, obscuring his features, at this moment, Dudley could sense Death rejoicing—a silent rejoicing, a silent happiness.

It's like after suffering from frustration and injustice for a long time, you finally find some fun to relieve your bad mood.

Can Dudley make his enemies, no, his enemies, find amusement?

That's impossible!

"Repair! Status restored, position restored!"

With a clear perception, no matter how far apart they are, Dali can directly use conceptual spells to perform micro-management.

At this moment, Dudley intervened, completely healing the negative status effects on Bod and Crocker, and simultaneously returning them to their respective homes, far away from Death.

Death watched helplessly as the fun he had just found vanished right before his eyes!

"You audacious new god, how dare you provoke me! You're courting death!"

Death was enraged and roared in a way that no mortal could hear.

His descent into the world of living beings was tacitly permitted by the laws of the world. Although this tacit permission was not entirely voluntary, it was a permission nonetheless.

The new god who rebelled against the Heavenly Gang resurrected the dead on a large scale, defied the laws of life and death, and disrupted the orderly development of the two poles of life and death. His crimes are intolerable to Heaven!

Death, who had been harboring resentment in the world of the dead, finally sensed just now that the world's laws had greatly reduced their restrictions on Him, thus tacitly allowing Him to descend upon the world of the living on a business trip.

However, this restriction has not been reduced to the point of non-existence.

Therefore, Death chose to use the back door He had deliberately left in the world of living beings last time—the physical veil kept by the Department of Mysteries—to descend upon the world of living beings once again through a shortcut that required less divine power.

Like the Three Holy Relics of the Dead, this physical veil is primarily designed to satisfy Death's whims, causing more unexpected deaths for living beings to witness in His presence.

An additional function is to act as a backdoor for the Grim Reaper to descend upon the world of the living, and to introduce some of the living world's substances into the world of the dead.

Under normal circumstances, only souls can enter the world of the dead through the veil of death; matter from other living beings cannot enter the world of the dead.

But with this physical curtain, matter that once had life, that is, various corpses, including the corpses of humans and other animals, as well as the corpses of plants, can enter the world of the dead through this curtain.

The thick, withered tree trunk that forms Death's seat in the world of the dead was transported into the world of the dead in this way.

Back to topic.

On this journey, Death descends upon the world of living beings, but the restrictions imposed on other targets remain the same as always.

For example, He cannot directly kill living beings; He can only use deception and manipulation to make them kill each other or commit suicide.

However, when dealing with rebels, Death does not need to expend its own divine power to directly control the power of the laws of death to attack them. It can also sense the location of rebels and chase after them to kill them.

In this way, the time is in His favor.

Death instantly forgot all the panic and fear he had felt towards the 'new god', even though he didn't have a brain.

He was confident of victory, believing that this operation would easily crush and destroy the 'new god'.

Therefore, the Grim Reaper, who had been silently sensing the location of the 'new god' after descending into the world of living beings, interrupted his sensing because of the two humans who had come to his door, and started to have some fun first.

Little did He know that this 'new god' who defied the laws of life and death would be so rampant.

Before He could even cause trouble for this 'new god,' the 'new god' had already abducted His prey.

Simply unbearable!

Can't this 'new god' imagine how terrifying a death god with the power of the laws of death would be?

"Repair! There are no gods in this world!"
