Kudo didn't speak for a long while.

Belmode carelessly pushed away the sharp knife pointing at her throat, and suddenly appeared in front of Kudo, raised his chin and looked at it for a moment.

Kudo's lips were pursed into a straight line, and he frowned slightly. This frivolous movement and the dangerous distance made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he even wanted to kill the girl in front of him.As a result, Belmode let go of his hand lightly when he was about to bear it, and took a step back to distance himself: "The genes of the Kudou family are really powerful."

Kudo said impatiently: "What is your purpose in coming to Hogwarts?"

"Should I tell you if I ask?" Belmode asked innocently.

Kudo smiled: "This is Hogwarts."

The implication is that she cannot escape.

Belmode also laughed: "It is said that Hogwarts' defense is impenetrable, so why am I here? And why are you here?"

"I'm the chief—" Before he finished speaking, he realized something.He stared at the blond girl with curved eyebrows calmly playing with the sword in her hand, and an extremely exaggerated thought came to his mind: "—You too. You are just like me."

Belmode bowed gracefully, as if he was not holding a sharp sword in his hand, but a long skirt: "That's right. Ravenclaw adds ten points."

"..."

Kudo's face was a bit ugly: "So you were the one who treated me—"

"That's right. Time is running out, I'll explain it to you when I have a chance." Belmode paused, then tilted his head in one direction, "After all, you don't keep your word."

Kuroba hiding in the dark: ...

Kudo standing in the open: ...

Kudo was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, and replied indifferently: "You said, you can't see other people, and you didn't say you couldn't come."

Belmode shrugged: "I'm a woman, and I'm very unreasonable."

Kudo and Kuroba were silent again.

"So, in exchange, I'll tell you my purpose of coming to Hogwarts. And you, Professor Heiyu, let me go and let me leave here alive today." Belmode's tone was too calm, as if they were What they were talking about was not a matter of life or death at all, and the calm look seemed to be sure that Kuroba and Kudo would not attack him.

Kudo snorted coldly: "We can also lock you up and throw you to the Aurors. They will always have a way to find out the answer."

"Ah, Aurors." Her tone was a bit lukewarm, and she didn't know when there was an extra pill in her hand, "But I am a killer, and I can kill myself when necessary. My mission has been completed, and it is considered a merit Yuanman. Besides, I know how to restore you to your original state, do you really have the heart to kill me?"

Kudo stared fixedly at the blonde woman in front of him.

Then she heard the boy reply calmly and flatly, "I'm an Auror, and I can sacrifice myself if necessary."

She was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"You are still you, Kudo Shinichi." Her voice was a little soft, and she seemed to be missing something, and she seemed a little lonely, "It's so innocent..." After that, she couldn't hear clearly anymore.Kudo instinctively felt annoyed.He didn't know what the man in front of him was planning.

"Go to Dumbledore." Belmode said lightly, "If you hurry up, maybe he can be saved."

"you--"

"Believe it or not." She turned around and walked towards a window sill in the fencing department. The moonlight came in, making her seem absurdly quiet at the moment.

Kudo paused, nodded in one direction, and said in a low voice, "Please."

The wind blows around the corner.

Belmode chuckled, and nimbly jumped onto the window sill: "I look forward to the day when we meet again, Kudo Shinichi."

"Why did you help us?" Before Belmode stepped on the high windowsill and was about to jump off, Kudo finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.She could have just walked away, but she insisted on telling herself so much, which is too inconsistent with the style of the organization she has seen so far.He looked at Belmode's back, and a memory that had already fallen into ashes came to mind at this moment for no reason.

Perhaps, he thought, he had indeed seen this woman.

Earlier than the Forbidden Forest.

Much, much earlier.

The blond girl had already stepped on nothingness with one foot, but she stopped, leaning on the window sill and looking sideways in the direction of Kudo Shinichi.The bright moonlight shrouded Belmode's body like water and smoke, making her blue eyes more transparent, light and indifferent.This is the eye of the most outstanding agent in the world. Her hands have been stained with blood for a long time. She walks indifferently in the night and has lived longer than everyone else. She should have the coldest and most ruthless eyes. of.However, when Kudo looked into those eyes, he could clearly see the faint tenderness in her eyes.

She raised her lips slightly, her voice was ethereal and distant, and before she jumped down the tower, she entered Kudo's ears: "...Asecretmakesawomanwoman."

When Kudo rushed to Dumbledore's office, what he saw was the old man sitting calmly on a chair with his eyes closed.His expression was very calm, there was still a cup of honey tea that he had just finished drinking on the table, the weekly reports from the deans of various colleges were scattered on the table, the quill was scribbled on the kraft paper, and an ink color was blurred .Kudo stopped in his tracks, looking in horror at Kaito Kuroba, who stood up straight and straight.

The tip of Kuroba's wand had just dimmed, and her face was also a little pale.He looked at Kudo Shinichi who was standing at the door, and showed a comforting smile, but there was a lingering solemnity between his brows.He walked quickly to Kudo's side and affirmed Belmode's words: "The professor's situation is not very good, and he has to transfer to St. Mungo's. Later, the professor is really very likely..."

Kudo pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, thought for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "Can't go to St. Mungo's. What's his situation?"

"It looks like it's aimed at the brain. I don't know if it's the effect of the spell or the potion. I'm more inclined to have both. I can't wake up for a while, and it's hard to say whether I can wake up." Hei Yu paused Suddenly, he immediately realized the reason why Dumbledore could not be sent to St. Mungo's—if the entire wizarding world knew that the banner of the Light Side was unconscious, it would inevitably cause confusion, and even make some coveted Hogwarts Ci's outlaws made a move.Preventing mysterious organizations is enough trouble, they don't need to cause more trouble. "However, you can ask that fellow Baima Tan to help. Although I don't want to admit it, the youngest attending physician in St. Mungo's is quite reliable."

Kudo thought about it, and thought it was feasible.

"What if an organization leaks information on purpose..." Hei Yu began to consider this possibility thoughtfully, and then denied himself, "No, their usual big moves are fast and ruthless, I hope not Those who leave traces may not necessarily release the news. Maybe they will deliberately block the news."

Kudo sighed, leaning against the wall thinking with his eyes down, rubbing the fabric with one hand on the other arm: "No, we are too passive now. We don't even know what they want to do. Dumbledore How could Lido..."

A thought flashed in Heiyu's mind: "What if he did it on purpose?"

Kudo raised his thin eyelids, motioning for him to continue.

"Everyone knows that only Hogwarts where Dumbledore is present is the safest. Conversely, without Dumbledore, it is possible for the mysterious organization to take action." Hei Yu said slowly, "If Dumbledore had thought of this, he would have left clues or information. I don't believe he just fell into a coma like this."

Kudo thought of the plan of "inviting the king into the urn" that he, Hattori and Akai had discussed before and was quickly denied, and his head hurt a little.

Negating this plan before was not only because it would endanger the safety of the students, but also a very critical issue-whether Dumbledore was worthy of cooperation.

Now that things have developed like this, it is indeed the best solution to lure wolves into the house.Taking defense as offense, it is indeed easy for one's own side to make arrangements.

"Then who or where did he leave the message..." Kudo murmured.

Before the words were finished, a raging flame that was as tall as a person burst out from the metal plate next to Dumbledore's desk that was originally only a plate of ashes, which shocked both Kudou and Kuroba.The sizzling flames plundered the surrounding air forcefully, as if it could burn the entire castle to ashes immediately, but it barely stopped when it was about to touch the ceiling, keeping a safe distance.Amidst the flames in the sky, a shadow appeared indistinctly.

They looked at each other, and a word appeared in their minds at the same time.

Phoenix Nirvana.

This is not the first time they have seen Fox, but it is indeed the first time the two have seen the scene of the rebirth of the phoenix.They held their breath, watching the golden figure flying out of the raging fire.It still has a raging flame on its body, and its pupils are narrow and long, reflecting a golden-red light, carrying an incomparably proud aura.They watched helplessly as the ancient mythical beast gave them an indifferent look, flicked its tail, and flew out of the principal's office with a sky full of sparks.

The flame disappeared, along with the handful of ashes, as if nothing had happened.

"...Wow." Kuroba said.

"...Wow." Kudo said.

They coughed twice at the same time, put away the amazed expressions on their faces, and quickly recovered from Phoenix's "performance".

Kuroba deduced: "I guess it's not a coincidence that Fox appears at this time. He is using the Phoenix to deliver the letter."

Kudo pondered: "It is indeed possible."

Hei Yu continued to analyze: "Then, who will the Phoenix send the letter to, this becomes a very serious—"

Before he finished speaking, a fiery golden figure flew into the window arrogantly again, stopped at the place of daily rest, staring at the two slantingly with his phoenix eyes.

Kudo twitched the corners of his mouth: "...the delivery was pretty fast."

Hei Yu boasted without thinking: "As expected of a phoenix."

Fox unexpectedly flew up at this moment, menacing and majestic.

The two thought to themselves, what does it want to do again.

Then it accurately threw a letter into Kudo's arms.

Kudo: "...?"

Fox just swept Kudou's head with his phoenix tail, flapped his wings and left, and returned to his old den with a haughty expression, lazily lying there, with a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

Kuroba: "I have a bold idea."

Kudo stared at the envelope, on which were written a few big flowing characters, which seemed to be written by Dumbledore.

Shinichi Kudo

Kudo looked up: "Coincidentally, I also have a bold idea."

They looked at Fox at the same time.

Fox...

It seems to blush.

Fox: I just woke up and didn't realize that the person standing in front of me was the recipient.Careless.

Fox: There must be a row of faces, and it is necessary to maintain a row of faces when you go around a long distance.snort.
