Chapter 543 Action
"Mike Townley: My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just!" - Sing the Dissenter

"Shocking! Death row inmate Mike Townley actually said this in court!" - Daily Prophet

"What is happening to our world?" - Discoverer's Weekly

"Fairness is just a fig leaf." - Meiwa Special Report

……

As the early morning sun cast its gray rays through the thick clouds, these articles with exaggerated headlines were delivered to thousands of households through various newspapers.

To be honest, after a series of bombardments from major newspapers during this period of time, the public has actually become somewhat indifferent to the McTominay incident.

This is also the reason why the once vigorous equal rights movement suddenly cooled down.

This matter has been dragging on for so long that no one is interested in it anymore.

This is not to say that people are too cold-hearted, but it is the most normal situation.

People also need to eat. It is already very difficult for them to live their own lives well. How can they invest too much energy in the lives of others?

You have to know that the reason why they initially responded to the call for equal rights was not only because they were truly moved, but essentially they were venting the resentment that had accumulated in their hearts because of the rampage of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Now that Voldemort is dead, all the anger has been vented. Wouldn't it be better for him to work hard and make money?
So according to common sense, although this public trial is full of loopholes, it shouldn’t be a big deal, after all, everyone is tired.

But unexpectedly, this large-scale joint report once again caused a huge uproar in society!
The reason for this abnormal state is very simple, that is, the last sentence Mike said was so cool and exciting!

So much so that most people who saw that sentence got their blood boiling!
People who are full of enthusiasm will naturally do some stupid things, such as running to the Ministry of Magic lobby to make trouble.

As a result, in just one afternoon, more than two hundred ** people gathered in the hall of the Ministry of Magic again.

This made the strike team captain who was in charge of the order and security in the hall so worried that his hair turned white. You know, the martial law in the hall of the Ministry of Magic had just been restored a few days ago, and now this kind of thing happened!

What will the newly appointed Minister Flint think of himself when he finds out about this?
He will definitely feel like a waste!
Thinking of this, the batter captain suddenly became so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

But the people don't care about you. They still hold up their signs and shout loudly. Some of them are so excited that they even make provocative gestures towards the strikers surrounding them.

In this regard, the batters can be said to be angry but dare not speak out.

Because there are reporters standing by with magic cameras held high, watching eagerly!

And what is most worrying is that the number of people gathered at the scene is still increasing. If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will definitely be out of control!

Thinking of this, the striker captain turned around and ran towards the magic elevator to report to his superiors.

Seeing this, Benjamin, who was hiding in the crowd, gave a cunning smile.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. As long as they made enough noise in the hall, they could attract the attention of Chris and the Ministry of Magic, and then Victor's team would have a chance to rescue Mike.

And in order to ensure that the plan would be foolproof, he also prepared a killer move!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Along with a series of fireworks explosions from the fireplaces on both sides of the hall, another group of people who came to ** arrived.

But what was different from the past was that this time the staff who went to welcome them were stunned, because the newcomers who appeared in the hall were all wearing Hogwarts uniforms.

What's happening here?
Why are Hogwarts students here too?
Did they skip class?
Countless questions suddenly emerged in everyone's mind, but soon all these questions were forgotten.

Because under the leadership of the leading students, the other students also started shouting.

"My heart and my actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous!"

"My heart and my actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous!"

……

The strange voices of the students who were still in the transformation period echoed over the Ministry of Magic, awakening everyone who had been in a brief daze.

Urgently, many slogans rang out from the crowd, even louder than before!

Those students also naturally blended into the crowd!

What no one noticed was that along with the Hogwarts students, there were also many wizards in various clothes arriving at the Ministry of Magic hall.

As soon as these people appeared, they quickly blended into the crowd, but the strange thing was that although they seemed to be standing in scattered positions, they all kept a relatively close distance from each other.

If a senior Auror witnessed this scene at this moment, he would be surprised to find that these people were formed into the most tight tactical formations!
At the same time, Chris finally arrived at the scene with a large group of Aurors.

But when he saw the crowd at the scene, which had suddenly doubled in number, and the Hogwarts students, his face instantly turned dark!

The attributes of students and the general public are essentially different.

As long as he is a student, no matter how badly he performs in normal times, he is the hope for the future.

And what about ordinary people?
Just ordinary people.

In a sense, students are also a privileged class, but what makes them different from the ordinary privileged class is that the privileges they have are given to them spontaneously by the people.

The purpose is to enable them to thrive and become towering trees.

This is mankind's best hope, and society's managers are also happy to see it happen. But when these privileged people appear in the halls of the Ministry of Magic today, it is terrible news!
If the people gathered at the scene were just ordinary people, Chris could have used force to violently disperse or detain them.

But that’s not an option now.

You have to know that if any students are injured or even killed during the violent dispersal and detention, it is not something that can be resolved simply by an apology.

That would cause public outrage!

And it would be even worse if the injured or dead were international students from other countries.

Chris could even imagine the scene where leaders of various countries and the media would laugh at him if the matter developed into an international dispute!
This made his already ugly expression even uglier.

Benjamin, who was hiding in the crowd, was smiling at the moment.

The reason why he brought the Hogwarts students here was for this moment. Benjamin now wanted to see how Chris would deal with this matter.

But it doesn't matter, because no matter what, Benjamin will find a way to make things develop in the worst direction. You know, those Los Santos wizards hidden in the crowd and Blake and others who received his request and were slowly walking out of the fireplace are not vegetarians!

……

At the same time, under the leadership of Arthur, a special team of four consisting of Arthur, Victor, Zhou Hong and Franklin also arrived at the teleportation point specially pointed out for them by the Ministry of Magic - a dilapidated public toilet on the outskirts of North London!
"Are we really going to do this?"

Zhou Hong said with disgust while looking at the stinking toilet. Upon hearing this, although his expression was not good, Franklin still said firmly:

"Of course! According to the mysterious insider, Chris Flint has controlled almost all the teleportation points into the Ministry of Magic since he came to power. This is the only one left. And the reason why it was missed is because they feel that no one would go to the Ministry of Magic this way!"

"I think their idea is reasonable. After all, this is really crazy! Wait! Victor, are you going to...Oh! God!"

Zhou Hong screamed in fear, because just as he was speaking, Victor suddenly stood up and walked out, pressed the flush button and jumped into the toilet.

Accompanied by the sound of pumping water, Victor's figure disappeared after a twist.

Zhou Hong almost vomited, and Arthur and Franklin's expressions didn't look good either.

But since Victor passed away first, they had no choice but to carry the struggling Zhou Hong and rush into the toilet together.

“Crash!~”

In a dim stone chamber, Victor was looking around vigilantly, with blue light flashing in his eyes, which made him look extremely weird.

Suddenly, a series of muffled noises came from behind me, followed by bursts of dry retching sounds.

"This... this is really disgusting... ugh~"

Zhou Hong complained instinctively, but before he could finish his words he leaned over and vomited again.

Although Arthur and Franklin's faces turned a little green, they still suppressed their nausea and joined the alert team.

"Clap clap clap!"

A burst of crisp applause came from the darkness, and Arthur and the other two immediately raised their weapons, but the person who walked out of the darkness was a familiar face.

"It looks like your journey wasn't a pleasant one! Hahaha!"

Moody said with a gloating look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong's face, which seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, instantly became even more distorted, and he yelled at him:
"You are our spy? Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier! You are deliberately teasing us!"

As he spoke, Zhou Hong drew out his magic wand and prepared to attack.

But he was stopped by Arthur.

"Tell me, what should we do next!" Arthur said with a bad look on his face, "I don't want this to happen again! Otherwise... humph!"

"I didn't lie to you. That is indeed the safest teleportation point! Hahaha, okay, I won't say any more!" Moody grinned and took out a pile of clothes and four bottles of potions and placed them on the ground. "Okay, change your clothes quickly, and then drink the Polyjuice Potion so we can get going. Oh, and get rid of the stench on your bodies quickly. I can't stand it anymore, haha!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hong's anger surged up again, but when he thought that Mike was still locked up, he finally picked up the Auror uniform on the ground.

Five minutes later, three tall Aurors appeared in the stone chamber.

Why do you say there are three?
Because although Victor changed into the uniform, he did not drink the Polyjuice Potion.

"Why don't you drink? Don't you trust me?" Moody said, "Don't worry, this is a serious matter. I won't lie to you."

Victor glanced at Moody indifferently and said slowly:

"I don't need this stuff."

After he finished speaking, Victor's face suddenly twisted, and soon a brand new face appeared in front of everyone.

Moody, Arthur and the others had surprise written all over their faces, but they didn't say much. After a while, they stood up and walked outside.

They knew very well that the scene just now was definitely not normal.

But they also knew that now was not the time to pursue these matters.

Outside the stone room was a long corridor with smooth black stone walls on both sides. Magic lamps hanging high above were emitting cold light, adding a bit of eeriness to this already solemn corridor.

The corridor was endless, but at every distance one could see checkpoints staffed entirely by Aurors.

Under the protection of Moody, the old hand, and the Auror uniforms, everyone passed the several checkpoints at the beginning smoothly.

It can be seen that these people should all be Aurors who originally belonged to Scrimgeour, because these people have a very good relationship with Moody.

This slowly relaxed the tense nerves of Arthur and others.

"It seems that you have a very high status here!"

Zhou Hongzhuang spoke casually, seemingly trying to flatter, but the expression on his face was full of sarcasm.

Under normal circumstances, Moody would have retorted, but at this moment, he just kept walking forward without looking back, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

This was obviously unreasonable, and when the next bottleneck came, Zhou Hong quickly understood why Moody did not refute him.

"Stop whoever comes!"

A loud shout stopped Moody, Arthur and others in their tracks.

Seeing this, Moody hurried forward, raised his head slightly and said in a haughty manner:

"We are here on patrol, let us pass."

The Aurors looked at each other, confusion on their faces.

"We haven't received any relevant notification, so please go back!"

The leading Auror replied expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Moody flew into a rage and started cursing:
"You are blind! You don't even give me, Moody, any face! You were still drinking milk while I was fighting the Aurors and the Death Eaters!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense. The Aurors were also amused by Moody. One of the Aurors said directly:
"Mad-Eye Moody, you are nothing but a dog that wagged its tail to beg for mercy at our young master. Now you dare to bark in front of us? Do you believe that if we mention it to the young master casually, you will have to go back to your hometown to raise goblins tomorrow?"

After he finished speaking, the Aurors immediately burst into laughter, while Moody on the opposite side shook his head as if he had nothing to say.

But in the next moment, a fierce light burst out from his only remaining eye, and he suddenly pulled out his wand and shouted:

"Do it!"
