Chapter 347: Lightspeed Blame

When Minister Bones, along with a group of amnestics and Aurors from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, and Dumbledore, hurried to the scene -

What appeared before them was a scene that looked like the end of the world after the war:

The laboratory that was originally protected by layers of protective spells has turned into a ruin with black smoke emitting from it. It seems that there is no possibility of repair. The uninhabited and abandoned houses in the surrounding area were also destroyed.

What's worse is that above the ruins, a dark symbol representing that the Death Eaters had been here was hanging in the air. The crawling poisonous snakes and the terrifying green skull fully demonstrated the arrogance of the evil forces!

Jian Yu and a group of researchers had obviously experienced a fierce battle and were sitting weakly on the open space, gasping for breath.

Each of them was dressed in tattered and stained clothes, so dark that the original patterns and colors of their robes could not be seen. His face was covered in black and white spots, as well as traces of blood. His body also had wounds caused by the violent explosion, which looked extremely painful.

Around the ruins, many Muggles who had fallen into coma were lying in bed, their cars were still honking.

Minister Bones felt that her breathing had stopped. The smoke around her seemed to block her airway, and the bricks on the ground seemed to be pressing on her heart, causing her blood to coagulate in her blood vessels.

Her face was solemn, and her eyes swept across the ruins bit by bit——

She saw the half-human, half-rat creature that had become a 2D plane, covered in burns and explosion wounds...

There was also a broken wand beside him...

That is the criminal who has been wanted by the Ministry of Magic for a long time, Peter Pettigrew!

Almost in an instant, she understood everything!

She knew that there was a spy in her Ministry of Magic, and that a high-level official must have exposed the secret research project that the Ministry of Magic had commissioned Jian Yu to research!

This factory invested by the Ministry of Magic, a production base for curse-proof clothing, encountered a sudden and overwhelming attack by Death Eaters!

Looking at these researchers who were half-dressed and exhausted, she understood——

They must have fought desperately to protect their research and equipment from falling into enemy hands!

What a great spirit, what a selfless dedication, what a fighting spirit!

Even at the critical moment of life and death, he chose to detonate laboratories and factories. Even if he faced death, he would take the research secrets and die together with the enemy!

Is there any spirit more noble than disregarding life and death?

"We tried our best." Jian Yu made a weak and heavy voice, covering her face and crying, "Everything is ruined... We still couldn't keep the fruits of our research... I feel so ashamed for everyone..."

Dumbledore observed her expression carefully, then looked at Snape, who was covered in a cloth and had a stern face, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

He walked forward, picked up the magic wand, and looked at the 2D corpse again and again, his expression becoming more subtle.

But he said nothing, just waited silently for Minister Bones to speak.

But Minister Bones also remained silent.

Two lines of hot tears flowed silently down her face, dripping down her cheeks onto her collar.

She slowly raised her right hand towards Jian Yu and the researchers and saluted with endless respect!

The Aurors and memory cancellation officers behind her were also silent, raised their right hands, and saluted them in unison!

"Jade...everyone...you have worked hard! On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I pay my highest respects to you!"

Minister Bones spoke in a loud voice, his expression full of respect for them:

"You...you caught the wanted criminal for the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding community...you fought to the end!"

"Nothing is destroyed, everything can be restored. As long as you are still alive, wizards will have a future!"

Jian Yu took a deep breath, struggled to stand up slowly, and supported his shaky body.

She also raised her right hand and saluted in the direction of Minister Bones.

Both sides looked into each other's eyes and saw deep emotion in them!
