Chapter 268 Faceless Capture Operation

Veritaserum, a potion that allows the person who drinks it to tell everyone everything about other people's problems.

The side effect is that there is a high probability of becoming a brain-dead person.

According to some studies, the brain occlusion spell can effectively resist Veritaserum and reduce its side effects.

At the same time, Veritaserum has been designated as a controlled drug by the Ministry of Magic because of its extraordinary ability, and ordinary wizards have almost no chance of getting it.

So when Benjamin told everyone that he had a whole bottle of Veritaserum in his hand, everyone was stunned.

Benjamin looked at the shocked eyes of the crowd, but he didn't feel happy at all, only bitterness and heartache.

This bottle of Veritaserum is the most precious of the potions he prepared this time, no one else.

This is not to say that the production of Veritaserum is difficult and the materials are expensive. On the contrary, it is not difficult to make Veritaserum. At least a student like him can make it, but the effect of the produced Veritaserum is relatively weak and the side effects are relatively strong.

But in order to control the production of Veritaserum, the Ministry of Magic directly controlled the sources of several important materials in it.

This led to a huge increase in the price of truth serum!

The bottle in his hand, except for a small amount of materials that he secretly got in class, most of them were bought from Knockturn Alley, which almost exhausted all his savings!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Benjamin said to everyone: "Okay, don't look at me like a monster, wake one up quickly."

The brown-haired boy was the first to react, and a "Wake Up Quickly" was hit on a drug addict who looked only about 20 years old.

The rest of the people also took action, came to both sides of the alley and began to cast "Muggle Repelling Charm" to ensure that their actions would not be discovered.

The drug addict who was awakened was probably a little confused because the effect of the drug had not yet passed. Facing the gaze of Benjamin and others, he was not panicked at all, and even took out a wrinkled cigarette and prepared to light it.

He kicked the cigarette in the man's hand away, and Benjamin poured the whole bottle of truth serum into his mouth before he could react.

In just a few seconds, the man's eyes became empty, and his face, which had become angry because of being kicked, smiled again, and he looked stupid.

"Let me ask you, who is the Asian kid who was with you just now?"

"Little mute."

"What little mute?"

"We all call him little mute."

"Why do you call him mute? Can't he speak? And you used him, is he a man?"

"We have never heard him speak. He is a boy."

Benjamin and others looked at each other. The effect of the truth serum was somewhat beyond their expectations. The man in front of them seemed to have destroyed his self-awareness. He would only mechanically answer the questions you asked, and would not make any additional supplements.

This made their interrogation particularly difficult.

"How long has he been here?"

"A long, long time. He was here before I came here. Oh, I came here three years ago."

"Where can I find him?"

"Near happy people, especially those places where many people gather to have fun. You can always find him there."

"Have you ever found anything wrong with him? I mean anything beyond common sense."

"He doesn't need to eat or drink water. No one has ever seen him eat. He refuses to eat even if someone else stuffs the food into his mouth. Of course, I don't dare to eat it either. God knows what those people will put in the food!"

The man who took the truth serum suddenly talked more and his emotions suddenly became high.

This was a sign that the truth serum was about to lose its effect. After all, the level of the potion Benjamin prepared himself was limited.

So, Benjamin quickened his pace and continued:

"Are there other places?"

"Yes, that kid is a jinx! Anyone who lives with him won't live long! Many people want to kill him, but strangely, they never succeed. Instead, those who want to kill him always die inexplicably the next day, and the cause of death is all suicide. Hahahaha! Suicide! This is really ridiculous! Hahahaha!"

The man in front of him was laughing wildly. He seemed to have fallen into that state of excitement again. His snot, tears and saliva flowed uncontrollably, and there were wet marks on his pants.

Benjamin covered his nose and took a few steps back. He knew that the man in front of him was crazy and he could not ask anything more.

At this time, it had been nearly four hours since they went out. Unknowingly, the sky outside had darkened.

But the streets not far from here were getting more and more lively. For many people in this city, their day had just begun when night fell.

Benjamin was thinking, and there were several boys and girls around him, all waiting for him to make a decision.

Suddenly, Benjamin raised his head, his eyes reflecting the white light of the street lamp in the dark.

"We have to catch him and hand him over to Lord Townley."

Everyone's face showed surprise. They didn't expect Benjamin to make such a decision after thinking for so long.

Benjamin saw everyone's expression, and explained: "We are already behind. If we want to win the game, we must come up with something different from others. And the faceless monster, whether it is a misunderstanding of nature or a man-made monster, it has extremely high research value. At least it is definitely more valuable than a werewolf vampire. So, we must try to catch it alive."

Hearing this, everyone understood it, and at the same time, they all expressed their support for Benjamin's plan.

So, this operation called the Faceless Capture Plan began.

...

Thanks to the information provided by the laughing man, they can now at least confirm that the range of the faceless monster's activities is in this small village that Benjamin called a drug den.

Because apart from this place, people from other places would hide in places where others could not see them even if they wanted to gather together, and would not allow the faceless monster to enter and absorb the happy emotions.

This was very easy to deal with. Benjamin and others frantically asked those guys who looked like bad guys in this area about the queueing places they often used.

Due to the existence of the International Statute of Secrecy, they could not openly use spells in front of Muggles.

This led to many people who were questioned by them not cooperating, and even making some very rude moves towards Hillary.

If it were before, Benjamin and his friends might have endured it, but after being fed a lot of chicken soup by Benjamin in the afternoon, these people's anger points are now full. So

, those rude bastards are in trouble.

You know, Benjamin is a quasi-potion master, and he also has a stock of control potions such as life and death water and love potion.

So those who offended them were almost without exception severely punished by Benjamin and his friends.

And Benjamin and his friends also got the information they wanted, and with this information, they finally found the faceless monster before midnight.

This is an alley very similar to the previous one, the only difference is that this alley is sealed and has only one exit.

Those drug addicts seemed to like to find these dark and hidden alleys. When Benjamin arrived, there were nearly twenty people lying in this small alley, puffing out clouds of smoke.

Their target, the kid in the worn-out sweater, was just like last time, silently shrinking in the corner and taking deep breaths.

Benjamin winked at the people behind him, and immediately several weaker players silently walked to the entrance of the alley and began to cast the "Muggle Repelling Charm", while Benjamin, the brown-haired boy, Hilary and several stronger players all took out their wands and looked at the thin figure in the corner of the alley with vigilance.

Their behavior naturally attracted the attention of the drug addicts in the alley. At first, they thought Benjamin and his men were plainclothes officers who were arresting them, so they were quite nervous.

But when they saw that Benjamin and his men took out a short wooden stick from their pockets with serious expressions, they began to laugh crazily.

Some of the more arrogant ones even came out of the crowd, intending to teach these little brats who disturbed their fun a lesson.

"Are you asking for a beating? Huh? You came to my place? Huh? This little girl is pretty..."

The sturdy man hadn't finished his words when a dazzling red light burst out from Hillary's wand, directly hitting the rude and naked sturdy man, and smashing him against the wall beside him.

The others who originally wanted to watch the fun were stunned by this scene. They rubbed their eyes frantically, looking at the sturdy man who was knocked unconscious, and then at the funny teenagers holding wooden sticks.

They felt that they must have inhaled too much and were already hallucinating.

This won't do, they must take another breath to calm down!

The movement here was discovered by the faceless man without any surprise. He stood up suddenly and looked around in panic, as if he was looking for a way to escape.

Unfortunately, the only exit of this alley had been blocked by Benjamin and his men.

"Attack!"

With Benjamin's roar, spells of different colors shot out from the tips of the team members' staffs. Suddenly, the originally dim alley suddenly became as colorful as a disco scene.

But these colorful lights are not ordinary atmosphere lights, but a dragnet composed of various control spells such as petrification spell, sleeping spell, binding spell, etc.

However, when these spells were about to hit Wumian, several poisonous insects lying around like dead dogs suddenly stood up, rushed to Wumian at an inhuman speed, and used their bodies to help him block the incoming attack.

Suddenly, the guys who blocked the spells with their bodies were instantly hit. Some turned into stiff stone statues, some fainted directly, and some were hung upside down...

This sudden change shocked Benjamin and his friends, but Benjamin quickly reacted and shouted:

"Be careful, the other party may have the ability to control the mind, but it's not a big problem, proceed as planned!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed and continued to fire spells.

Hillary, who was at the back, prepared for a moment and then waved her magic wand.

"Expecto Patronus!"

Suddenly, a water snake with a dazzling silver light appeared and swam in the alley, dispelling the growing chill in the alley. The

faceless man tilted his head, and his mouth, which was like a black hole, opened and closed, as if he was laughing at Benjamin and his friends for overestimating their abilities.

The next moment, all the poisonous insects in the alley stood up expressionlessly. Except for those who stood in front of the faceless man to help block the gun, the rest of them all rushed towards Benjamin and his friends.

At the same time, the shadows under Benjamin and his friends, which were illuminated by the dazzling light of the silver water snake, also moved. They seemed to have life and tightly hugged everyone's legs, fixing them in place.

Benjamin and his friends were still a group of teenagers after all, with too little practical experience. They suddenly lost their ability to move and immediately panicked.

Many people even stopped attacking the faceless man and began to struggle hard, trying to pull their legs out of the shadow's hand.

"Calm down!" Benjamin roared, "The situation is critical now. I allow you to use killing spells. Be careful not to hold back! Don't hold back! The primary purpose is to ensure our own safety!" The few

people present were not useless. After hearing Benjamin's order, they quickly woke up from the brief panic and began to attack the poisonous insects approaching them. They

used offensive spells such as "Disarm Your Weapon" and "Crush to Pieces"!

These teenagers had also imagined the scene of themselves releasing these powerful spells on living things. They thought they would hesitate and retreat. After all, killing lives was too far away for them.

But when the time came, they were surprised to find that things happened so smoothly.

When their own lives were threatened, they could actually release those terrifying spells on the living things in front of them, their own kind, without hesitation!

In a short moment, all the poisonous insects that were rushing towards them with bricks, short sticks and other weapons flew backwards, and some of them were even blown into pieces in mid-air.

Blood flowed in the dirty alley.

The bloody smell mixed with the unpleasant smell in the alley penetrated into everyone's nose, and the hellish scene in front of them gave them a great shock.

They killed people!

Now, the only person who could stand in the narrow alley except Benjamin and others was Faceless.

Faceless's face had regained its facial features. He was leaning against the wall and breathing heavily, looking very weak.

It seemed that the shadow and mind control just now consumed a lot of Faceless's energy.

Benjamin thought so and raised his wand.

"Everyone, take your positions! Listen to my orders! Attack!"

The next moment, colorful lights exploded again, and several spells attacked the thin child deep in the alley.

At the same time, the silver-white water snake that was hovering over Benjamin and others, providing light and heat for everyone, also opened its bloody mouth at the command of its master and rushed towards Faceless!
