Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 508 Interrogation of Old Kent

"Or not."

In the underground torture room of the Masonic secret realm, Zhou Hong said to Mike with a heavy face.

This was Zhou Hong's seventh attempt to invade old Kent's brain since they brought him back, but all seven attempts failed as expected.

"Someone has set a seal in his brain to protect it." Zhou Hong continued to explain, "Of course, in my opinion, the strength of this seal is not very high, and I can easily break through it. But the tricky thing is that there are countermeasures in this seal. Once it is forcibly broken, the countermeasures will be activated, and then old Kent's brain will be roasted in an instant."

After saying that, Zhou Hong lowered his head with some guilt. He felt that he had disappointed Mike.

But unlike what Zhou Hong thought, the expression on Mike's face didn't change much at all, and he even nodded when he heard it.

Mike had actually anticipated the current situation a long time ago.

After all, old Kent was the one who escaped from Chris unscathed. Regardless of why he was able to do that, there is no doubt that since Chris allowed him to move freely outside, he must have made some arrangements to prevent his secrets from being leaked.

However, Mike is not completely helpless in the face of this situation.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he glanced at little Kent, who was unconscious and hanging on the cross like his father.

"Wake them up for me."

Franklin stepped forward upon hearing this. As a close friend of Mike who had known him for nearly six years, he knew very well what his good brother was going to do next.

He chuckled, raised his hand and struck Kent and his son in the face with two "Quick Revive" spells.

Mike didn't use a too powerful stun move when subduing the Kent father and son, so Franklin's quick resuscitation took effect quickly.

Old Kent woke up first, accompanied by a burst of violent gasping and coughing sounds like a drowning person being rescued.

He completely ignored Mike and the others. He struggled violently at first, but when he found that he was hung and unable to break free, he looked around. Only when he found that little Kent was hung on the cross like him did he finally despair.

"You bunch of demons!"

Old Kent glared at Mike and the others and spoke with gritted teeth.

"Okay, don't say any more unnecessary words." Mike waved his hand and said, "Just be honest and tell us everything about the Flint family."

Old Kent sneered and said:

"Let my son go!"

As soon as these words came out, Mike raised his eyebrows.

"You don't seem to understand the current situation. Teach him a lesson."

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Franklin rushed out of the crowd at lightning speed.

Little Kent, who he had released and quickly revived, had not woken up yet, which made him feel very embarrassed, so he jumped out immediately when he had such a good opportunity.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

As Franklin stretched out his wand, a strange and ominous atmosphere spread in the torture room, and little Kent, who was originally sleeping with his head down on the cross, suddenly screamed.

The Cruciatus Curse is something that ordinary people cannot endure, otherwise it would not be listed as one of the three unforgivable curses.

In the past, Cruciatus has always been little Kent's favorite spell, because no matter how tough a person is, they will kneel on the ground crying and begging for mercy in front of this spell.

He never got tired of seeing this sight; it gave him an intense sense of pleasure.

But now, when it was his turn to experience it personally, it was a different story.

"Dad! Please! Let me go! Let them let me go!"

Little Kent's body was twisted into a lobster, but this did not alleviate the great pain he was feeling at the moment.

Old Kent's heart was broken when he saw this. His initial sneer was replaced by anxiety. He quickly retracted his gaze and said to Mike:

"Stop! Let him go! I have placed a seal on my brain. Unless I want to say it myself, you will get nothing! So, let my son go!"

Mike shook his head slowly and said lightly:
"You still don't understand. I'll be frank with you. If you tell me the truth, I can give you and your son a quick death. But if you don't cooperate... hehe."

Mike spoke very softly, and little Kent was still screaming, so old Kent had to try his best to hear him clearly.

But after hearing it clearly, old Kent was completely in despair. His whole body collapsed and he hung limply on the cross with a dull expression.

Seeing him like this, Mike was not in a hurry. Anyway, he was not the one suffering. He just sat quietly on the soft chair and fiddled with the wand in his hand.

Things turned out just as Mike expected. Old Kent quickly came to his senses after being reminded by Little Kent's scream.

He looked at his son's strange posture which was twisted to the point that his limbs were almost broken, and tears kept flowing from his sunken eyes.

Finally, old Kent gave in. He gasped and roared:
"I said! I said it all! Stop it now!"

Mike slowly raised his arm, and Franklin beside him immediately put down his wand when he saw this.

The screams in the torture room finally died down, replaced by a series of soft wails and old Kent's sobs.

After a long while, the exhausted old Kent turned his head with difficulty and said to Mike and others:

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything," Mike said. "Where is Chris? What is Chris planning? How many people are there? Tell us everything."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hong's expression became serious. He was responsible for the subsequent polygraph test, and because the other party still had a seal in his brain, this task which was easy in the past now required him to do his best.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you." A strange sneer flashed across Old Kent's face. "First, stand up and answer your first question. Chris Flint has always been in Ying Country and has never left."

Zhou Hong nodded at Mike. This was the truth.

Just as Mike was about to continue asking questions, something strange happened.

Suddenly, a large number of golden chains burst out from old Kent's body. These chains tightly bound old Kent and were constantly shrinking. Under the pressure of these chains, old Kent's face turned red visibly.

This sudden scene made Franklin and the others nervous, and they all stretched out their wands.

"All curses are over!" As the crowd roared in unison, several silver-white light bands suddenly shot out and covered the golden chains.

However, these light bands that could easily extinguish the fierce fire were of no use to the golden chains, and the chains were still shrinking.

Mike sighed deeply.

He did not attack like Franklin and the others, as that would be a futile effort, because the chains on the opponent's body were actually chains of oath transformed from the 'Unbreakable Vow'. The chains that were embodied by these rules could not be dissolved by ordinary spells.

While everyone was working hard, the chains had already cut into Old Kent's flesh. But even so, Old Kent still managed a strange smile on his face and said with difficulty:

"You will lose, you will all die! Mr. Flint, he is the greatest ..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and the golden chains suddenly increased their strength, strangling old Kent into a pool of minced meat.

A flower of flesh and blood blossomed in the torture chamber, and a large amount of blood spurted towards Mike, as if old Kent was using his life to make a final resistance, but these blood flowers were firmly blocked by Franklin's armor.

In this situation, the interrogation could no longer proceed. Franklin, Benjamin and others turned to look at Mike sitting on the soft chair.

But Mike fell into deep thought.

Mike actually had some guesses about the first thing old Kent said. After all, since the other party wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the two sides, he naturally had to observe closely to avoid missing the best opportunity to jump out.

But the second piece of information that old Kent threw out was somewhat intriguing.

You know, the other party had just said half of his words when the chains of oath suddenly shrank and strangled him to death, which means that the last information he wanted to say was far more important than the first one.

So the question is, what is the greatest thing that old Kent wants to say in the end?

Mike thought hard for a long time but still had no clue, and couldn't help scratching his head in frustration.

At this time, Arthur, who had been standing behind Mike, couldn't help it. He leaned forward slightly and said tentatively:

"Mike, we are already very strong, especially in Ying Country. Since the other party has always been in Ying Country, I think there is no need for us to do anything else. We can just mobilize all the forces of the organization to search for them."

Mike glanced at Arthur and said nothing.

However, Zhou Hong beside him sneered and said sarcastically:
"I really wonder what's in your head. How could you come up with such a childish idea?"

"What did you say!?"

"Haven't I made it clear enough?" Zhou Hong continued, "You are so stupid. The Flint family has been hiding in Ying Country for so long without being discovered. Do you think you can find them out just by being reckless?"

Arthur was speechless, but being accused by a brat like Zhou Hong obviously made him extremely angry. In anger, Arthur's hand even fell on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

This action was like a switch. Benjamin, who had been on guard at the side, suddenly pulled out his wand and leaped in front of Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong was not to be outdone. Large amounts of purple-black mist continued to pour out from his clothes. Wrapped in the mist, Zhou Hong's face gradually became blurry.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and a big battle was about to break out.

"Stop it all!"

Mike's roar stopped all this. Arthur snorted coldly and angrily closed the silver sword that he had already pulled out halfway.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong and Benjamin also disarmed, and Benjamin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If a fight really breaks out, he's not sure he can suppress Arthur. You know, this is a monster only slightly weaker than Mike!

Zhou Hong left with a stern face, glaring at Arthur fiercely before leaving. Benjamin hurriedly chased after him.

Looking at their departing backs, Mike shook his head helplessly, stood up and walked towards the door while saying:
"Okay, that's it for now, everyone disperse. Oh, by the way, Franklin, remember to clean up here."

Franklin responded and raised his wand at little Kent, and cast a killing curse to fulfill Mike's previous promise, causing the other party to leave the world cleanly and neatly.

Arthur just stood there with a frown on his face.

The look Zhou Hong gave him before he left made him feel very uncomfortable. He had a premonition that his days might not be easy in the future.

After taking a deep breath, he asked:

"Did Zhou Hong get angry today? Why is he so angry?"

"I think maybe it's because of what you did in the castle before that made him unhappy." Franklin said, swinging his wand, "You know, what you said at that time did have a hint of discrimination against non-human creatures."

"So what? Those vampires are monsters! Monsters hurt people, and they should be killed!"

"But... have you forgotten? Zhou Hong is also a monster."

Arthur was stunned when he heard this. He had actually forgotten about this matter. It was all because Zhou Hong usually behaved too normally. After a long time, even Arthur, the demon hunter, had regarded him as his companion.

"Go and apologize." Franklin patted Arthur on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "You know, Zhou Hong is a master of pranks, brother. I guess you don't want to experience the feeling of being pranked."

Looking at Franklin's sincere eyes, Arthur nodded firmly.

At the same time, Mike had already left the Masonic secret realm and arrived at the villa in Godric's Hollow.

The reason why Mike came here was that he wanted to pretend that he had just returned from a trip to the United States.

You know, they did a lot of things in the Kingdom of Magic during this Christmas holiday, especially the feat of besieging Voldemort, which was hard to avoid the attention of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.

For this reason, Mike had to find an excuse to avoid suspicion. Although the effect of this might not be great, it could at least confuse those people.

Inside the villa, Mike stretched his body. He was the only one in the villa today. He didn't plan to call Penelope over. Hogwarts would start tomorrow, so he planned to have a good rest.

But he had just stretched halfway when there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Mike! Open the door! I heard some noise, are you in there?"

Mike felt the voice was familiar, he sighed helplessly, went downstairs and opened the door.

Sure enough, the person standing at the door was Sirius Black, but unlike his usual elegance and handsomeness, Sirius's face was now full of anxiety, and his clothes were tattered.

Before Mike could react, Sirius rushed over, grabbed Mike's arm and asked hurriedly:
"Where's Harry? Is Harry here with you?"
