Chapter 161 The Devil's Deal
Chapter 161 The Devil's Deal
Extremely evil souls can always attract strange things, and these things break through the diaphragm of the world and come to people by following their taste.
In the darkness of consciousness, Emma Grossman woke up as if she was out of water. She stared expressionlessly at the man in the shadow and asked: "Who are you?"
Standing in the shadows was a tramp covered in diarrhea. His oval bald head was set with two eyes that shone with cunning and teasing. His mouth, thinner than a line, was deliberately pursed and bent upwards in a mean arc. He was wearing a medieval t-shirt. The brown tunic and blue linen trousers were tied tightly with a thin belt with a pocket on each side. The animal skin boots on his feet were stained with half-dried mud, making the man look like a traveling trader or herbalist who had just returned from the swamp. The field hurried over.
The man said: "To put it simply, I specialize in giving people what they want. You can say that I specialize in helping people realize their wishes."
"You are like a devil." Emma didn't know where she was or what state she was in. At this moment, many words became difficult to think about and would jump out of her mouth on their own.
"What a keen intuition!" The man applauded her, looked at Emma as if he were sizing up goods, and mentally estimated Emma's value higher, saying, "You can think that I am a devil, but I actually have a kind heart that fulfills people’s wishes, and I’m here now just because I know you have wishes.”
Emma said: "I have no wishes."
"Oh, don't say that, I'm afraid you have it, and it's a very urgent wish," the man said slowly: "The reason why you think like this is because you don't know what state you are in. Let me tell you - you have now Die, if I leave, you will continue to sink into endless darkness. If you don’t know what endless darkness means..."
With that said, he stretched out his hand to Emma, allowing Emma to consciously experience absolute silence and absolute darkness, without consciousness or the passage of time - until Emma was about to consume all her sanity and was on the verge of using madness to resist. When the pain of nothingness reached the critical point, she was liberated and could see things and hear sounds again.
"This is death," the man said, then waved his hand, filling the air with the image of Emma lying in a hospital bed.
On the hospital bed, her face was pale and her eyes were closed. Emma also recalled everything that had happened to her. Hatred emerged from the bottom of her heart, bubbling in her mind. She wanted revenge, Emma thought firmly, and she asked Said: "How should I call you?"
"I have many names." The man raised his chin. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be proud: "You can call me Gaunt O'Dimm, you can also call me Mirror Master, and some people call me Glass." Man, I don’t care how you call me, it’s up to you.”
Emma thought Mirror Master sounded better, so she said submissively and flatteringly: "Mirror Master?"
Mirror Master nodded slightly, and a few crumbs fell from the moss on his scalp. He said: "As I said just now, I like to help people realize their wishes, and I promise to be accurate, but I don't do it in vain, and I will also receive compensation. "
Emma thought of the devil in the fairy tale, and she asked: "Is it... my soul?"
"Smart girl!" The mirror master admired Emma's beauty, and now even more appreciated Emma's cleverness. It's easy to talk to smart people. He said: "It's your soul. No matter what kind of wish you make, I can do it." accomplish."
Emma asked: "What if there's no way to do it?"
Mirror Master showed an incomprehensible smile and said: "Oh... that kind of thing - I haven't seen it yet, but since you asked, I can also tell you the consequences - our deal It will be canceled because it cannot be carried out.”
Emma said: "Then I'm willing to trade."
She thought she could defeat the devil and that she had to survive.
"Then tell me the conditions," Mirror Master said, "I'm all ears."
"I want to live again!" Emma said: "This is the first wish."
"Just say it," the mirror master said politely: "There is no limit on the number of wishes, and there is no time requirement. You can have as many wishes as you want. Even the conditions for implementation can be left to you. Even if you say where to pay the reward, It’s okay in the sun.”
"I still want to live in the state I want forever." Emma said again.
The Mirror Master smiles without showing his teeth, but the curve of his mouth is very exaggerated.
"I also want magic power, enough to fight against the power of the most powerful wizard in the world from the past to the future."
Mirror Master's eyes flashed with fire, and he smacked his lips, licking the backs of his teeth with his tongue.
"After the first two wishes are fulfilled, I still have one last wish left for when I need it. At the same time, you can't hurt me in any way or appear in front of me in any way. Only at this time can you make it when the sun rises. Get up, stand in front of me personally on a dark night with 1 moons appearing in the sky, and take away my reward."
"I'm afraid there must be no inconsistency in the transaction, dear Emma."
"Then I'll change the last part," Emma said. "You can only entrust someone else to stand in front of me."
The Mirror Master was in a happy mood. He put down one of his hands on his chest, stretched out to Emma like an invitation and said, "Deal?"
Emma said, "Deal!"
So she came back to life, and Voldemort's transformation on her completely disappeared. The unprecedented amount of mana flowed through her veins like snakes that were half virtual and half real. Everything in the world was different in Emma's eyes, as if everything was there. Mastery, she felt better than ever, experiencing a sense of fullness she had never experienced before.
Now she was in St. Mungo's Hospital, and a nurse happened to see her waking up. Before the nurse screamed, Emma waved to her - black matter grew out of thin air, like mudslides and smoke, sweeping over the nurse He annihilated the lovely nurse lady all over his body.
The Mirror Master fulfilled Emma's wish and gave her the power of the Obscurus, which was unprecedented and unprecedented. He also gave her enough life to resist the erosion of the Obscurus, so that she would not have to be like Credence or the Obscurus. Arianna, like that, ultimately leads to self-destruction.But now Emma only feels that she is invincible. She doesn't know what Obscurus is, let alone the price it brings.Now she just wants revenge - first revenge on Hermione, then revenge on DeWitt, next Dumbledore, then Hogwarts, and Voldemort...
But there is no good in rushing directly, Emma thought, it is too boring, and it brings too little torture and pain. Only seeing these targets of revenge struggling in fear, screaming in regret, and begging to themselves can be considered worthy. True revenge.
So the first thing to do was to hide her whereabouts. Emma made the staff at St. Mungo's Hospital forget that she woke up. She used magic to mislead the people in the hospital, making the doctors and nurses think that there was a half-dead child lying in the ward. The girl then left the hospital quietly. The way she left was different from the apparation commonly used by wizards or the fast flight of superheroes, but a way similar to the vampires who recently invaded Hogwarts. ——Turns into a thin black mist, sweeps across the sky, and flies at low altitudes over cities and countryside.
Arriving at the outskirts of Hogwarts, Emma saw the patrolling dementors and the vampire slaves who once again tried to break through and enter the castle. She flew over and began to try to connect with these things. Nothing is more suitable than the horror atmosphere. Consider it an appetizer of revenge.

Originally, the person who made the deal with Mirror Master was supposed to be a vampire, but I asked in the group if they still wanted to see the heroine of the Bad Breed appear. Some people said they still wanted to see it, but no one else expressed their opinions, so the plot was modified to make it appear. Emma Grossman is promoted and appears.
