(Timeline: On the day of the Battle of Hogwarts, Edward was sucked into the Mirror of Erised)
The vortex trembled violently, and the circle of smoke outside was sucked into the mirror bit by bit. The black shadow in the mirror became more and more crazy. Just when the last wisp of smoke disappeared, Edward's spirituality suddenly sent a violent warning, and a picture of the broken mirror flashed quickly in his mind.
"boom!"
The mirror shattered.
Edward had no time to react before he was swallowed by the gushing smoke and fell into darkness.
"Edward!!"
Grindelwald's voice seemed to come from far away, yet it also seemed to be right next to his ear, but Edward could see nothing.
He could only keep casting defensive spells on himself and wait for the attack of those shadow monsters.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
The expected attack did not come, but the thick smoke in front of us began to dissipate slowly.
"Swish!"
Edward's arms sank, and a small furry thing jumped up - it was Lilith.
"Edward!"
"I'm fine."
One hand gently stroked the fur on Lilith's back, and the other hand held the wand tightly, ready to cast a spell at any time.
After a few more minutes, the smoke finally dissipated and vision returned to normal.
Edward discovered that this was no longer the basement of Nurmengard. He was standing on the top of a dilapidated and abandoned building, surrounded by abandoned houses, collapsed walls and weed-covered ground. In the distance were tall buildings - they were also in ruins and had been abandoned for a long time.
"Where is this?"
"Edward."
Lilith looked up, her eyes showing uneasiness, "Ms. Lilith doesn't like it here."
"I don't like it either. I don't like it either."
The monster in the basement was suspected to be a demon, so after being engulfed by the smoke, Edward thought he would return to the mysterious world. However, the surrounding architectural style and the tall buildings in the distance told him that this was definitely not the mysterious world, nor the Harry Potter world, but an unknown... doomsday world?
So, I traveled through time again?!
Grass!
He tried hard not to utter the word out loud.
Edward looked around and began to worry: How am I going to get down after being left on the roof?
"Use Transfiguration to make a ladder?"
He waved his wand.
Nothing happened.
"Huh?"
He was startled and waved his wand again: "Fla Dimension."
Still nothing happened.
Lilith stared with her big blue eyes, her face full of curiosity: "What are you doing?"
Edward closed his eyes and calmed down. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a look of shock on his face:
"The magic power in my body...disappeared?"
"boom!!"
A few hundred meters away, a dilapidated building collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Then with a "whoosh" sound, a thin figure rushed out from the smoke and dust, landed heavily on the roof of another room, and jumped up again using the force.
"squeak!"
A black monster was chasing behind, its head exploded in mid-air, and it shot out tentacles with sharp teeth - the same kind that had attacked Edward in the basement just now.
The thin figure tried his best to dodge, but one of the tentacles still pierced his ribs, tearing off a large piece of bright red flesh. He also groaned and fell down.
Edward could do nothing about it. As soon as he saw the monster, he tried to cast a spiritual spell, but it still didn't work.
Then came the magician's various extraordinary abilities, and this time everything was normal.
However, the power of the magician's ability to create fog, wind, and burn is too small - he seems to have suddenly returned to the strength of an apprentice sequence 7.
He hurriedly opened the leather bag and climbed in, took out the revolver, and put the bone seal seized from the Spirit Cult in a place where he could get to it as quickly as possible. Although this thing cost his life to use, if he was really in a desperate situation, he would have to fight to the death.
At this time, the thin figure who had fallen down moved again. His movements were somewhat deformed due to his injuries, but his speed was faster than before, and the direction he was heading...
"Oh my god, don't come to me!"
Edward cursed and decisively used [Open Door] towards his feet (the roof). After a moment of weightlessness, he passed through the roof and landed lightly on the ground.
Lilith lay on his shoulder, her front claws tightly grasping Edward's clothes. At the same time, she lowered her head and bit the collar. She raised her tail and pulled up with all her might, as if she was trying to lift Edward up and reduce the weight of his fall.
"Uh, Lilith, thank you for taking the trouble."
She raised her chin and said seriously:
"Don't worry, Miss Lilith will protect you!"
"Thanks."
Edward also thanked her sincerely. He patted Lilith's head and looked up: "Huh?"
The roof of this room was at least three meters from the ground. Although he was a wizard and was not physically weak, he was just an ordinary person. It shouldn't have been so easy for him to fall from such a height.
Could it be that Lilith's "exertion of force" just now really worked?
"Bang!"
The door of the house was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a thin figure rushed in. He was wearing tattered clothes and a hood, holding a mace taller than himself. He used his back to prop the door shut, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you sure this wooden door can stop that monster?"
The sudden sound startled him, and when he looked up he saw a man and a cat staring at him.
"boom!"
Before he could react, the door behind him was knocked away along with him, and he fell towards Edward.
Edward dodged decisively, allowing him to fall to the ground with the shattered pieces of the wooden door, letting out a scream of pain.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much." - It was spoken in English.
He rubbed the back of his head, jumped up, picked up the huge mace and smashed it at the monster.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
The faster you rush forward, the faster you will fly back.
Edward didn't bother to complain, he pulled the trigger and emptied the magazine at the monster.
The purified bullets and the large-caliber revolver immediately caused its flesh and blood to fly everywhere and it became twisted and deformed, but it kept wailing and moving forward firmly.
When the last bullet was fired, he rushed forward with a roar.
"Hold!"
Edward threw the revolver fiercely, and Lilith, who was about to attack with her teeth and claws, retreated again and again: "Auntie, you don't have to be so brave at this time."
"It's not Auntie, it's Miss Lilith."
"You're all right... What the hell, what's going on?"
Edward stopped walking back and stared blankly at the monster whose throat was pierced by the revolver and split in two. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"This revolver of the big girl... is it a sealed object?"
The skinny guy seized the opportunity and rushed forward again, swinging the mace in his hand up and down, creating an illusion, and smashing it wildly with bangs, smashing the monster, which was only breathing its last breath, into minced meat.
"ah!"
He jumped high and used all his strength to hit the last stick. With a bang, a bunch of red, blue, green and colorful things scattered from his body and fell all over the ground.
"Oh my goodness, the equipment exploded, but... why did the attacker explode it?"
The little man threw away the mace without hesitation, and rolled over to pick up the things on the ground. However, his hands were too small and his arms were too short, so he dropped the things while picking them up. At the same time, he looked up at Edward and shouted, "Mine, mine, all mine."
The ground is covered with colorful snacks, instant noodles, and canned food.
He raised his hands and took two steps back, "Okay, okay, they're all yours, I won't steal them."
The little guy took a long time to gather all the things together, then looked at the torn plastic bag with a worried look on his face: "Oh no, how can I take it back?"
"Well, you could try using your coat pocket."
"Huh."
His eyes lit up and he tore off his worn coat and spread it on the ground, quickly putting all the snacks on it so that it could just hold them all.
"Wow."
He looked up at Edward, rubbed his dirty cheeks, his blue eyes sparkling: "You are so smart."
"Uh, thanks. Huh?"
Edward looked at his face and was slightly stunned: it was a very tender face, and his blue eyes still revealed a naive childishness, clearly a child of eleven or twelve years old.
Moreover, she was a girl, with short flaxen hair wrapped messily in a hood.
He, no, she carefully began to pack, asking, "Where are you from?"
"Where from what? Um, London?"
The girl wondered, "This is London."
We speak English and this is London, so this is another parallel world to Earth?
Edward came to a conclusion in his mind, thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, what was that thing chasing you just now? What happened here?"
"Chasing me?" She looked at the mud on the ground. "You mean it? It's a big dog. "
"…Is it a dog?"
"Yes, the polluted big dogs, that's what the people in the safe zone call them."
Safe zone, get a new message.
"What is the safe zone?"
"Yes, it's a safe place. It was built by Mr. Savior. The survivors are now living in various safe areas. Aren't you?"
Savior, survivor.
Is this really the end of the world?
"Are you out here to collect supplies?"
"right."
Her expression immediately tensed and she pulled the clothes containing the supplies in front of herself, fearing that he would come to snatch her things.
"Why would you let a child as young as you come out to look for supplies?"
She blinked her eyes and said as a matter of course: "Because there are polluted creatures everywhere outside."
At this point, she glanced at Lilith and licked her tongue. Lilith immediately "meowed" and felt that the other party seemed to be thinking about something very terrible.
"So, only people like me can come out. Ka_ka? Xiao, tax¨ network-! Geng^ core ′ 啞 + 哙,"
Someone like her? Someone with extraordinary abilities? Her jumping ability, strength, agility, and resistance to blows are indeed very strong.
"Then do you know why this world... no, this city, has become like this?"
"Because of pollution."
She had an expression that said, "You don't even know this." "The pollution came, and many people died. Many people were polluted. Later, the savior appeared, and the rest of the people went to live in the safe zone."
"What is pollution?"
"have no idea."
She shook her head, tied the sleeves of her packed clothes tightly, and lifted them up easily: "Okay, I'm going back."
"etc."
The girl immediately protected the supplies and stared at them warily, "This is mine!"
After a few seconds, she bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, "If, if you are really hungry, I... I can give you a bag of potato chips."
"No, thank you."
She breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "That's good!"
"Well, I have a lot of extra supplies here. If you need them, just take them back."
Edward opened the leather bag and placed it on the ground and crawled in. \w￠zs`xs￠._c-o/m!
"Why?"
The girl was stunned by this scene. Curiosity made her want to go forward and see what was going on, but her vigilance forced her to stand still, feeling extremely conflicted.
Soon, Edward crawled out again, carrying a large bag of food in his hand, all of which were originally purchased to "honor" the Goddess of Night.
"Wow!!"
When a large bag of snacks was placed in front of her, the girl finally relaxed her guard, her blue eyes sparkling again: "Are all these for me?"
"That's right."
She struggled to hold the bag, which was half the size of hers, and shouted:
"You are such a nice person~"
Edward showed a warm smile on his face, as if he was thinking about you:
"Well, it's not easy for you to carry so many things. I also want to go to the safe zone. Can you take me with you? I can help you carry them."
"Sure!"
The girl said without hesitation, "Come with me."
"Give me the stuff."
"No, I can take it."
"So you don't want your weapon anymore?"
The girl looked at the food Edward brought, then glanced at the mace on the ground, and was at a loss for a moment.
"Why."
Edward shook his head, walked forward to pick up the bloody mace, and found the thrown revolver in the corner. He was surprised to find that not only was it not broken, but it was not even stained with a drop of blood.
He knew that this revolver was not a sealed object. He just threw it out in a hurry, but it tore the monster into two halves.
Well, if there's nothing wrong with the gun, then there must be something wrong with the person who threw it.
So, I have a question?
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
The girl was carrying a bag and holding a bunch of things. She stopped at the door in a strange posture and looked at Edward in confusion.
"Here I come."
A big and a small person were walking on the deserted streets. Lilith jumped up and down, smelling here and looking there. There was no life in the huge city, like a dead city.
"Are there many such contaminated creatures?"
The little girl was very happy with her harvest and hummed an unknown tune and said, "I don't know, but there is not much in the city because there is no food."
"Do you often go out alone to search for supplies?"
"Yeah, I used to go with others, but they always stole my supplies, so I started looking for them on my own."
"Where are the family members?"
"They are all dead."
"Uh, how long does it take to get to the safe zone from here?"
"About two hours."
Edward estimated the distance and asked, "Do you know when the pollution started?"
Anyone would know that there was something wrong with him if he asked the question this way, but the girl just shook her head and answered, "It's been a long time, I've been like this since I was born."
"Do you know how the Savior established a safe zone so that those polluted creatures dare not... or cannot approach?"
"I don't know."
"Have you seen the Savior?"
"No."
She turned her head and looked at Edward strangely. For the first time, doubt appeared in her eyes: "You don't seem to know the Savior?"
"Uh, should I know?"
"Of course! All survivors around the world should know and be grateful to him! I want to be like him in the future!"
The little girl shook her head, looking longing: "The great Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle!"
Edward was stunned and asked in astonishment: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What was the name of the savior?"
"Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle, oh, many people also affectionately call him Mr. Voldemort. I don't like this name, it doesn't sound good."
He suddenly stopped and muttered, "What the hell."
