Chapter 332: False Alarm

What explosives expert Augustus and security guard Jian Yu didn't know was that -

As early as the first time the crucible exploded, the sound of their explosion was loud and the echo was long enough to set off the alarms throughout the Ministry of Magic.

——This warns that the Ministry of Magic is likely to be invaded by the enemy!

This made Minister Bones, who was working as diligently as them far away on the underground floor, stiffen his back and stand up suddenly from his chair!

She knew that this day would eventually come, but it just came too soon...

The Death Eaters finally broke through the numerous defenses and broke in!

Bones looked determined, grabbed his wand, rushed out, and quickly rang the assembly bell.

She decided to take charge personally, leading the Aurors and special agents to fight the Death Eaters and Voldemort to the death until the last drop of blood was shed.

"Grab your wands, prepare for battle, form your formation, and follow me to the entrance hall!"

Facing the Aurors and special agents who had quickly gathered, she raised her fist above her head and made a final mobilization before hastily engaging in battle:

"Defend the Ministry of Magic to the death! Defend the wizarding world! Annihilate the Death Eaters! Never let the Ministry of Magic fall!"

It must be said that her mobilization was passionate, her will was firm, and her posture to meet the enemy was tenacious and powerful, standing upright like pine and cypress.

Just as her blood was boiling, the Aurors and special agents who had hurried over had bewildered expressions on their faces, with innocent doubts in their eyes.

They stared at each other, complete confusion revealed on their faces, communicating with each other through eye contact.

"Could it be that the Minister has grasped the enemy's movements that we don't know about?", "Since the Minister said so, it should be correct, just listen to it!"...

In any case, they had to obey their superiors' orders, and the urgent training in these days enabled them to quickly enter combat status.

——and together they fell into an eerie silence in the empty hallway.

Fortunately, some innate emotional intelligence prevented them from questioning the minister's strange decision.

They looked at the sky, the ground and the statues, and felt that the ceiling of the Ministry of Magic was so sparkling, the floor was so smooth, and the statues were so passionate... just like the Minister.

Fortunately, Minister Bones' emotional intelligence is higher than those Aurors and special agents. She quickly said loudly:

"Very good! This emergency assembly is an emergency drill organized by me for everyone! The responses were very quick, but there is still room for improvement!"

After an impromptu speech and lecture, Bones, who had realized it was a false alarm, finally felt relieved.

She forced herself to ease the embarrassment, walked down the stairs she created by herself, calmed herself down, and returned to the office.

She thought that was the end, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

It was only quiet for half an hour when a series of deafening explosions sounded underground!

Alarms rang everywhere. Minister Bones, who could no longer sit still, hesitated a little, but finally rang the assembly bell.

— and once again fell silent as he faced the peaceful and calm entrance hall.

Her step-finding skills gradually improved. Facing everyone's eager eyes, she said loudly again:

"Very good, this time your assembly speed was 3 seconds faster than before! I hope you can keep up the good work and achieve even better results!"

Bones, who was tortured by the alarms, felt that she had aged ten years. She decided to go to the scene in person to see what had gone wrong with this underground research project that had caused the entire Ministry of Magic to sound the alarm everywhere, as if it had been attacked twice by Death Eaters.

But after a speech, an Auror in charge of guarding stopped her with a look of panic!

"Minister! Pius Thicknesse, there's something wrong with him! He entered the Ministry of Magic while we were speaking together without completing the procedures! By the time I noticed that the alarm was in the wrong position, it was too late. The elevator went to the bottom floor, either the Department of Mysteries or the Courtroom -"

Minister Bones' face changed drastically!

She and the Aurors rushed to the crime scene at the speed of light.

There was nothing unusual in the Department of Mysteries, but the further she went into the ten underground floors, the worse she felt.

Because cracks appeared on the walls that had been reinforced by magic, there were more and more broken bricks on the ground, and gravel and dust were everywhere, splashing in a manner, as if there had been hundreds of thunder explosions.

Bones' brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and an ominous premonition filled her heart!

She realized...the alarm was not a false alarm...

But Thicknesse bypassed them and sneaked underground to commit the crime!

What followed was even more terrifying. She saw the remains of a wizard's boot that had been blown away, and several pieces of robes...

It's all over now!

For a moment, Bones felt dizzy and all kinds of regrets surged into his heart.

The scenes of Jian Yu and the senior researchers' deaths flashed before my eyes...

Dumbledore's resolute and gentle face gradually turned into sadness and pain...

The wizards' expectant and admiring eyes gradually turned into contempt...

The Death Eater laughed triumphantly...

Bones felt her throat was completely blocked. She clenched her wand, made up her mind, and looked towards Courtroom No. 1.

There was no Death Eater in the room, only his subordinate Pius Thicknesse, lying on the ground, his life or death unknown!

Augustus and Jian Yu, who were standing next to him, were holding some pink parts in their hands and seemed to be pouring potion into them.

But when they saw her appear, they both showed looks of horror.

In the midst of great sorrow and joy, Bones couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief and let out a loud sigh:

"Great, you just ripped his intestines out!"
