Chapter 14 The Light and Flame Nine Years Later

In 1991, over London.

The night was pierced by a white light, and a rectangular door of light suddenly opened.

A man in a beige windbreaker came out from the door, the hem of his clothes was rattled by the high-altitude wind, his broken hair brushed the corners of his slightly raised lips, but his black eyes were fixedly looking at the flickering lights below .

Snape ate his breakfast expressionlessly, and put aside the Daily Prophet delivered by the owl.The picture of a Ministry of Magic official rolling his eyes in horror on the front page gave him a grim, twisted smile.

The Ministry of Magic discovered that unknown persons had broken in, and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement sealed the case files, showing traces of illegal reading?

Are these guys stuffed with love potions?

Snape sneered silently, all the deep-seated sarcasm buried behind the empty pupils.

He hastily finished his breakfast, came out of the room with his coat, and stopped when he walked past the fireplace.

"Get rid of what's in front of you, if you don't want to starve to death."

After finishing his sentence coldly, he put on his coat and closed the door.

The black cat in front of the fireplace opened its eyes to look at the milk in front of it, then closed it again.

Salamander claw powder, blood donated voluntarily by unicorns, 3000-year-old ironwood...

Snape secretly compared the purchase list, and stretched out his hand to the door of his own house.

But the door suddenly clicked and opened by itself.

Snape's eyes narrowed sharply, he quickly drew his wand and took a few steps back.

"Sorry to scare you, Mr Snape."

It was clearly a Muggle-style windbreaker, black hair and eyes, and a soft yet powerful presence.Even though he was smiling all the time, the moment this man appeared, Snape felt an unprecedented sense of alertness in his heart.

So that it took Snape two seconds to realize that the black cat that had been lying motionless in front of the fireplace all year round was standing beside the oriental man, staring at him with green eyes.

"Meow~" Xiao Hei called softly, turned around and walked inside.

This was telling Snape that there was no danger.Snape thought for a few seconds before putting down his wand.

"That's right." The man smiled, with a soft expression on his face. He turned sideways, as if the host invited a guest in, and said, "I have something I want to ask you, let's talk about it."

Snape stared at the man's back, suppressed the desire to cast a curse, and walked through the door with a cold snort.

"I'm Lin Ziqing, you can call me Lin." The smiling oriental man's way of speaking was unexpectedly direct, "Tell me everything about Mo."

Snape was staring at his face, his eyes already showing the hollowness characteristic of running Occlumency, which almost became Snape's instinct when he was nervous.

"You and Mo come from the same world." Snape spoke expressionlessly.

"You are also a stranger."

"You did what the Ministry of Magic did yesterday."

"Mo is still alive."

"You know where Mo is going."

Lin Ziqing smiled and clapped his hands, "That's right."

"It seems that Mo likes you very much. She told you a lot of things." Lin Ziqing was still smiling, the curvature of the corners of his mouth remained unchanged, but it made people feel chills down the spine, "I have been to Hogwarts , your White Wizard leader doesn't know as much as you do."

Snape stood up suddenly, "What have you done to Dumbledore?"

No one in this world can defeat the greatest white wizard of this century, not even Voldemort.But the man who smiled softly in front of him used his smile to make Snape's heart palpitate for a moment.

Snape calmed down his heartbeat calmly, and slowly sat back in his original position under Lin Ziqing's smile.

If something happened to Dumbledore and no news leaked out, then this person was definitely not someone he, Snape, could fight against.

He knows this.

"That's right, Mr. Snape." Lin Ziqing praised, "Excellent reflexes, Mr. Snape, you are worthy of being a double agent who walks between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix."

Snape's hand gripped his wand under the sleeve.

"I don't like fighting, but if someone has to challenge me, I won't be stingy." Lin Ziqing leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands on his stomach, and looked relaxed, "So don't worry , Dumbledore's IQ is not bad."

"So, what are you asking?" Snape said hoarsely.

Lin Ziqing brushed the hair on his forehead with his fingers, "Didn't I say it at the beginning, tell me everything about Mo, Mr. Snape."

"I thought you knew enough from the Ministry and Dumbledore already, Mr Lin. I don't know much more than that."

"Are you determined to annoy me? Or are you looking for death on purpose so that you can meet your Lily Evans sooner?"

Seeing Snape's pale face, Lin Ziqing suddenly smiled and slowed down his tone.

"No, I was wrong, Lily Potter?"

Even if Snape remained seated, his voluminous wizard robes could not conceal his defensive posture.He forced two words out of his throat.

"To shut up!"

Lin Ziqing stared at him, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Woo—" A mass of black object brushed past Snape's neck, crashed directly through the sofa, and stuck to the opposite wall with a bang.

Snape's whole body froze, and it took a long time before he felt a trace of warm liquid dripping down his neck.Only then did he realize that the thing that cut his neck just now was Xiao Hei's claw thrown over by Lin Ziqing.

Just half a centimeter more, the sharp claws are enough to scratch the arteries in his neck.And when he was attacked, he couldn't even react at all.

Snape looked at Lin Ziqing, who had lost his smile, and knew that the other party had already shown mercy.

"I hate you, Snape."

"But Mo likes you very much, so I won't kill you. You're lucky..."

A deep and angry voice sounded from behind Snape, "Lin Ziqing, how dare you—"

"You have no right to comment on my actions, Hei." A sharp light flashed in Lin Ziqing's eyes, "Since you consider yourself to be Mo's subordinate, why don't you swear to stay by her side?"

"How dare you say that, Lin Ziqing! Isn't it you who deliberately transferred me?" Xiao Hei growled, and a huge black shadow loomed from behind his scratched body, "If you use your ability to make me If I go with her, this situation will not happen now!"

"Shut up, cat demon!" Lin Ziqing's gentle face showed a trace of haze, "I should have killed you earlier, instead of giving you a chance to disrupt my teleportation!"

"Do you think I don't know? If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been able to resist me for a long time, right? That's just right, I've endured you for a long time..." Black flames rose from Xiao Hei's body, green His eyes turned scarlet, his sharp claws stretched out, piercing deeply into the ground, and the torn air let out a sharp hiss.

Lin Ziqing looked at it indifferently, "Stop demonizing."

"Otherwise, I don't mind letting Mo lose her pet." Lin Ziqing sneered.

"Ao—" Little Hei stared at him with scarlet eyes, but the flames on his body gradually weakened.

"According to the previous agreement," Xiao Hei, who had returned to its original shape, seemed very tired. It lay directly on the ground, eyes half-opened wearily, "We cooperate. The contract between her and me can only be sensed in the same space. Yours Can the ability directly locate her space?"

"No, the ability mark I set on Mo is out of control." Lin Ziqing didn't seem to mind the fact that Xiao Hei almost fought with him before, he stood up, stared at the distant void and said firmly, "I will find her."

Xiao Hei stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and licked his paw.

Snape was sitting in the empty living room, behind him was the sofa with a hole in it and crumbs all over the floor.He stood up slowly, his legs stiffened by the high tension for a long time almost made him fall back to the sofa again.

He raised his hand to caress his neck, and his fingers touched the dried blood.

A distorted smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.

— "We'll never see you again, Severus Snape."

These were the last words left by the man named Lin Ziqing.Snape clearly knew that "we" included not only Lin Ziqing and Xiao Hei, but also Mo.

Snape looked at the particularly pocket-sized operating table in the corner of the laboratory, and silently said a word that disappeared without a trace.

"You have devoted enough to her these years, Severus, don't you have more important things to do?" It wasn't when Dumbledore appeared by the door that there was a flash of pity in his blue eyes, but It's almost gone, leaving only a strong firmness.

"...I know." Snape raised his head and closed his eyes, repeating in a low voice, "I know..."
