Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 588 The Most Unlikely Man

"He got the Black Cube after all—"

Mo Lin repeated this sentence, his mind was in a mess, and what happened these days was slowly replaying in his mind.

Ever since the Stone Arch was opened, Anok has never told Mo Lin about how the unsealed rules are being investigated, where he is going and what he is doing, nor has he told Mo Lin about it.

Every time he wanted to ask a question, Arnock would hand over a lot of reports submitted by students of all grades to Maureen, and let Maureen correct it, as if deliberately changing the subject.

This feeling frustrates Maureen.

Today Arnock suddenly appeared in the Muggle shopping mall again. At that time, Mr. Blier happened to see him, and then Mr. Blier was attacked.

Why is it such a coincidence?

Mo Lin didn't want to believe that it was Anok who attacked Mr. Blier. He had never thought of doubting Arnock before. Arnock was the person he trusted most. Apart from his grandfather, Arnock was a solid building backing.

But recently, so many unimaginable things have happened, all pointing to Anoke, which made him at a loss.

There were various attacks in the school. Lily told everyone that the students in the magic equipment research class would have problems. The fact is just as Lily said, whether it is Petty, Magatha or Rose, they all took magic The equipment research was also attacked by people.

He remembered that when Magatha was attacked that day, Anok disappeared from the stone arch and appeared with him by the crossbridge of the divination tower, just a few minutes behind him.

Yesterday he went to Magatha, and Magatha said she remembered seeing Arnock before she passed out.

Until yesterday he still believed in Anok, thinking that Magatha was wrong, but now he couldn't convince himself anymore.

The more he thought about this, the more Mo Lin paid attention to many trivial details.At that time, after Arnock cast a spell on Magatha, he asked Maureen to send Magatha to the school infirmary, and asked An Ran, who was not familiar with where the principal's office was at all, to inform Principal McGonagall.

When Mo Lin and Professor Charles rushed back from the school infirmary to the fourth floor, Professor Charles used a patron saint to notify Professor Victor.

At that time, Mo Lin didn't care about the Patronus Charm. Looking back now, he realized, why didn't Arnock use the same method at that time?
Arnock actually didn't use the patron saint to notify the principal and other professors like Professor Charles did. Wouldn't it be faster?There is no need to let An Ran go blind.

With Anok's level of magic, it was impossible for him to ignore this point, but he chose to let An Ran go to the principal, as if deliberately distracting Mo Lin and An Ran, so that they would not know anything.

Then, Professor Victor and Professor Francis joined forces, together with Arnock, who was more advanced, but still no magic was detected, as if all traces of magic had been wiped clean.

What if Arnock dismissed Mo Lin and An Ran just to eliminate the traces of the scene?
Maureen closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling.

Doubts about many things are slowly emerging.

He remembered that he went to investigate Professor Trelawney and found some abnormalities in Trelawney. Arnock was very angry, as if he was worried about Maureen's safety.

But what if this worry was purely because Anok was afraid that Mo Lin would find out the truth?
What if the person who told Trelawney in the closet that day that Maureen was peeping in the painting was Arnock?
Mo Lin's heart twitched violently, so it was Anok who betrayed him, not Hugo.

"how so."

Mo Lin felt as if a stone had been crushed on his chest, and it seemed as if something had been knocked over in his stomach.

Arnock did not choose to investigate Trelawney again. He said that it was not easy to investigate among colleagues, and Morin accepted his rhetoric at that time.

But if the former Arnock, the one who even the Minister of Magic admired three-pointed, really wanted to investigate a professor, would there be any difficulty?

Arnock can even find out Payngade hiding in the painting, and even find out the secrets of the stone arch that no one has known for thousands of years. Can a school professor be more difficult to find out than these things?
Maureen clenched his fists.

He also remembered the incident when Rose was attacked by everyone as a corpse outside Myrtle's toilet. That day, Maureen planned to ask Anock to investigate while Rose still had some magic left.

But the moment Anok appeared, he knocked Rose unconscious without any hesitation.

At that time, Arnock said that the magic lasted too long on the body, which was not good for Rose.

Maureen chose to believe again.

But now he was caught in a tangle again, what if that was just a cover-up by Anok?

After Rose was attacked, Arnock and other professors investigated whether this incident had something to do with the Chamber of Secrets, and concluded that "no".

Molin trusted Anok's words, and Anok said that the problem was not with the secret room, so Mo Lin didn't think about taking care of the secret room anymore.

However, on the night before the holiday, Mo Lin was locked up at Professor Kane, but Professor Francis came to discuss with Professor Kane, because they discovered something wrong with the magic in the secret room!
Arnock knows more about Stone Arch than anyone in the Ministry of Magic, and his level of magic is better than that of Professor Francis. If this matter really involves the Chamber of Secrets, with Arnock's ability, he should not miss it. is.

But Professor Francis detected anomalies, but Arnock said there was nothing.

……

All the things that happened these days, Mo Lin never considered Anok, until today Mr. Bolier was attacked, until he saw Anok on the roof.

Maureen remembered what Professor Francis said to him:

——Aurors need to learn to investigate anyone, even the person you thought was the least likely is often the most likely.

"The least likely person is often the most likely..."

As Mo Lin chanted these words, his whole body seemed to be strangled, and his breathing became short of breath.

"Many times, the truth is always very cruel."

These are the words of the men in black.

Is the truth really so cruel?

"Why exactly?"

Mo Lin was roaring in his heart, he really wanted to go to Anok's house, and question him in front of Anok, what is the purpose of deceiving him!
But suddenly he lost his courage.

He was afraid of getting the so-called truth, afraid that he didn't know how to face Anok, he didn't even know how to speak.

It was as if something had shattered in his heart, and it was as if a boulder had hit him.

His whole body is constantly falling, falling into a suffocating abyss, falling into the darkness where trust is as ridiculous and fragile as paper.
