Chapter 333 An unexpected surprise

Jian Yu was so frightened that his intestines nearly slipped out of his hands.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, confirming that she was not insane.

Minister Bones did say some scary words like "That's great" and "It's just the intestines ripped out" just now, right?

The person they are giving first aid to is undoubtedly an employee of the Ministry of Magic, right?

She strongly doubted that even Voldemort could not say such inhumane words to the Death Eaters!

She thought that perhaps her old problem of auditory hallucination had relapsed because of the nervousness.

Augustus's face was as terrified as hers, and his mouth was open so wide that he could almost swallow an egg.

Although the two men's faces were filled with fear and confusion, their men mechanically and diligently stuffed the intestines and stomach back in.

Jian Yu watched as Minister Bones, whose face was filled with the expression of "surviving a catastrophe", and the serious-looking Aurors hurriedly walked forward and carefully examined the physical condition of the colleague from the Ministry of Magic who was breathing out more than breathing in.

"Right arm broken, both legs shattered, a lot of stone fragments embedded, severe skin burns, lung hemorrhage..."

"The situation looks very bad! Notify St. Mungo's and ask the best healer to do their best to treat Thicknesse!"

After a chaotic moment, the Aurors lifted Thicknesse and rushed outside quickly.

For a moment, the laboratory was silent.

Augustus silently composed the tune of "Tears Behind Bars" in his heart.

Jian Yu was silently calculating the possibility of running away with Augustus and escaping justice.

Minister Bones, meanwhile, was considering 100 ways that the enemy could destroy the Ministry from within.

The three people had different thoughts, but what was the same was the solemnity on their faces.

"I am willing to plead guilty!" Augustus, who wrote the lyrics and melody of "Tears Behind Bars", closed his eyes and shouted honestly, "Yes, it was me who caused this situation! I blew him up! You can send me to Azkaban!"

"In this emergency, maybe we can finish this project first? This was an accident." Jian Yu argued, "No one knew that Thickness would suddenly appear there."

But Minister Bones's gloomy expression suddenly turned into surprise, and she said loudly:

"What Azkaban? No one will go to Azkaban! You guys helped a lot! Great job! Well done!"

Something seems wrong.

Jian Yu and Augustus looked at each other.

She rubbed her ears, only to find that her auditory hallucination symptoms had worsened.

Otherwise, how would she hear words like "you're a great help", "well done", and "great job"?

Is the person standing in front of him...really the fair, strict and selfless Minister Bones?

They blew up half of the tenth floor of the Ministry... and nearly killed all the Ministry employees -

If it were in the previous life, Augustus and she would have to wait at least ten years, and the other would at least be charged with poor supervision...

How come the current Minister of Magic can still clear them both?

"Could it be that he was under the Imperius Curse...?"

Jian Yu muttered to himself, and looked at Minister Bones warily.

His eyes were clear and his face was full of joy, with no sign of being manipulated by anyone.

But the other party's reaction was far beyond her expectations. Bones continued to speak loudly along with her words:

"I see. It seems you already have a guess! The Imperius Curse! I knew that with your sensitivity, you must have discovered something unusual!"

Jian Yu let out a bewildered "Ah".

Bones looked around the laboratory at the cracked bricks, the stone dust, the melted vessels, and he sighed heavily:

"You must have experienced a very fierce battle. Look at the ruins created by the thunderbolt explosion and the fierce fire... I failed to create a good research environment for you... It's my fault."

She suddenly bowed to the two of them, making a very apologetic gesture to show that she took the matter very seriously.

"No, no." The two people who felt guilty for blowing up the laboratory and injuring public officials were shocked and quickly turned back, refusing again and again, "It was just an accident, please don't say sorry, we are the ones who should say sorry... We accidentally let this laboratory become like this, we can't escape the blame..."

But Minister Bones apologized again, and both sides apologized to each other frantically. The three people, who were very guilty to each other, bowed their heads and almost buried them in the rubble.

"This ruin is not your responsibility, but the medal of your hard work!" Bones exclaimed loudly, "The enemy is very cunning. They infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and broke through our defenses! They took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and set off multiple alarms to lower our vigilance!"

At this moment, she has roughly pieced together the truth of the incident!

The first time the alarm bells rang, it must have been the suspect Thicknesse who deliberately created a disturbance to make her and the Aurors' work in vain!

In this way, the enemy successfully made everyone think that the alarm was malfunctioning and a false alarm was raised, thereby lowering their vigilance when the alarm was raised the second time, and taking advantage of the time when everyone gathered to avoid the checkpoints and march straight in!

Jian Yu and Augustus keenly sensed the ill intentions of the person who came, and judged that the other party was under the Imperius Curse, so they started a fierce fight with him. After a hard fight, they finally subdued the suspect!

"You have performed a great service! Not only did you protect your precious research results and your own lives, but you also helped the Ministry of Magic catch the enemy and found a clue related to the Death Eaters! This was originally the responsibility of me and the Aurors, but we were careless! I dare not imagine how serious the consequences would be if you were kidnapped by him!"

Bones excitedly held Jian Yu's hands, not caring at all that they were just covered in blood and wizard fragments.

Although he didn't know what happened outside, Jian Yu already understood -

Thicknesse, who was half dead in their explosion, probably defected to the enemy and became a mole in the Ministry of Magic!

That's why they suddenly appeared in the territory of several researchers to gather intelligence or assassinate them!

It's a pity that arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time, and the accuracy of skill delivery is not as good as the opponent's accuracy of reception——

Who could have known that their research team would hit upon such a grand slam dunk as soon as it happened?

Even before the enemy has a chance to say anything or do anything, the enemy will be killed!

“I guess this is just a flash followed by a big move…?” she muttered, “But why did Thicknesse…?”

Minister Bones shook her head. The betrayal of the people around her was a heavy blow to her, and wrinkles appeared between her brows.

"Piers Thicknesse is from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. I have worked with him for many years... I have sent people to investigate who he has contacted recently, where he has been, and his movements in the Ministry of Magic... When he wakes up, I will combine his confession to get the answer."

She repeatedly assured Jian Yu that she would investigate the matter thoroughly, and then left the laboratory in a hurry.

"So we don't have to go to Azkaban!"

Augustus murmured, and a look of joy appeared on his face after surviving the disaster.

Jian Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. She had already thought of countless ways to escape with Augustus in her mind.

"It was really thrilling... I was thinking of using your last few nitroglycerin tablets to extract the key ingredients... plus a few thunder explosions... to lure the Aurors away... It seems that it won't be necessary."

But the term 'nitroglycerin tablets' seemed to have touched a nerve in Augustus's brain, causing him to rush forward:

"I knew you knew about nitroglycerin. It turns out you like it too... You know what I want! I have always been curious about Muggle medicine! Don't you think it's amazing that Muggle substances can be the same as wizards' potion materials, able to explode and cure diseases... When I was at St. Mungo's, I tried suture therapy, gastric lavage therapy, and I even secretly got a bunch of drugs to try on myself!"

His bluntness surprised Jian Yu.

After all, in the closed wizarding world, there are not many wizards like Augustus who accept Muggle ideas without hesitation and express their curiosity.

But it must be said that his thinking is indeed very advanced, and he is on the path of combining technology and magic.

It was a pity that the road was very tortuous, and he blew up the laboratory at the very beginning, and almost killed himself and others.

No wonder St. Mungo's packed him up and sent him here so quickly, without any hesitation, dragging its feet, or even any reluctance.

That probably implies something like "our temple is too small to accommodate this huge Buddha."

Jian Yu gave him a thumbs up to show his support.

She decided to shuffle around a few sets of Muggle professional textbooks, so as to guide Augustus onto the right path while preventing the Ministry of Magic's century-old foundation and the lives of many wizards from being wiped out in a series of production safety accidents.

"That's a great idea. You're such a talent!" She sighed. "But I still want to tell you a few old Muggle sayings - if you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid of going anywhere... If your foundation is not solid, the whole world will be shaky... Before you study Muggle medicine and pharmacy, you need to catch up first."

Although Augustus didn't understand it completely, he had grasped Jian Yu's intention.

That was a kind of firm support for him——

This made his eyes light up!

"This is wonderful!" He blew rainbow farts happily, "You are worthy of being my boss, your thoughts are so advanced and advanced! You are as profound as Azkaban... as noble as St. Mungo's... as tolerant as Hogwarts... My admiration for you is as broad as the North Sea..."

Jian Yu deeply understood what Hippocrates, Augustus's master at St. Mungo's, said when he said goodbye.

She sighed and wiped away the cold sweat dripping from her heart due to the vague uneasiness:

"You don't have to admire me. If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell my research team about it."
