Chapter 25 - Chapter 165 Encounter with Voldemort Minions, the Department of Mysterious Mysteries

After controlling the man, Zicomo put his hand on the man's head and activated Legilimency.

In fact, the magic performed by Zicomo can no longer be called Dementor, and this spell has already been changed beyond recognition by him.

The original Legilimency requires the caster to get close to the target, and the eyes and the target can be cast.

Moreover, the caster needs to induce the target through language, disturb the target's emotion, and wake up the corresponding emotion and memory of the target, so that the caster can see the relevant memory.

Legilimency is relatively easy when the target is not alert, relaxed, or vulnerable.

However, after Zicomo's improvement, all the above premises were omitted by him. It only needs to be supplemented with mental power, and if the other party does not resist, he can freely consult the other party's memory.

Attention, is to check. In other words, you can watch whichever part you want to watch.

Therefore, it is better to say that the magic that Zicomo casts is Legilimency rather than Soul Searching.

Zicomo quickly flipped through the man's memory and learned his identity.

His name was August Rookwood, and he was a staff member of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries. In addition, he also has an identity, that is, one of Voldemort's important insiders in the Ministry of Magic.

(This man was supposed to escape from Azkaban three years later, and the author assumes that he has never been caught and has been lurking in the Ministry of Magic.)

11 Zicomo felt a little sorry for him just now, but now that he was Voldemort's insider, the guilt in Zicomo's heart disappeared instantly.

Zicomo learned from Rookwood's memory that he was on the night shift today, and after sensing the movement above the Ministry of Magic, he came up to check.

The Ministry of Magic had long since returned home from get off work, and only Rookwood and one of his colleagues were on the night shift. This is just convenient for Zicomo action.

With this information, Zicomo pulled out a rough topographic map of the Ministry of Magic in his mind. Afterwards, he used the forgetting spell to erase Rookwood's memory tonight, and rewarded him with a sleeping spell to relieve him from duty tonight and enjoy a sweet dream.

Of course, when he wakes up tomorrow, he may be greeted by the nightmare of being fired.

After all of this, Zicomo Apparated into the Ministry of Magic with Hermione in his arms.

Apparition requires having been to that place, or having a specific impression of that place.

Zicomo had just seen the relevant impressions of the Ministry of Magic from Rookwood's memory, so he could Apparate directly into the Ministry of Magic instead of going through the toilet in the public toilet.

The predecessor of the Ministry of Magic was the Council of Wizards.

After the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic was headed by the Minister and had seven departments.

The main purpose was to maintain the balance between the magic world and the Muggle world, and to protect all wizards and magical creatures Discovered by Muggles.

In Zicomo's view, the so-called maintenance of the balance between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is actually the constant cover up of their tracks by wizards.

He clearly possesses magical power, but he has to hide it because of the small number of people. Zicomo has no opinion on this point. After all, keeping a low profile is not a bad thing.

It's just that hiding himself for a long time seems to have nothing but a certain population growth to the wizarding world.

Without an external enemy, progress in the wizarding world seems to have slowed down. Although geniuses are still being born, at most they have brought some innovations in magic. In many ways, the wizards are staying put.

For example, the Hogwarts potions textbook A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi was written by Phyllida Spohr.

This famous herbalist was a figure before the fifteenth century, that is to say, this textbook has been used for at least five or six hundred years.

Such a long time, even enough herbs to produce certain changes under the influence of the environment. This, Zicomo could see from the potions-related notes Snape gave him.

There have been some changes in the medicinal properties of many of the herbs recorded above.

It can be seen that the wizarding world has been stagnant for a long time.

In modern times, the only two people who wanted to change the wizarding world were both dubbed the Dark Lord by the wizarding world.

The first-generation Dark Lord Grindelwald was fine, but his ideas were a little more radical, and his ideas were good, but there was a certain error in the direction of his efforts.

The second-generation Dark Lord Voldemort is actually a paranoid madman. When he cut his soul and made it into a Horcrux, his spirit began to become abnormal.

Voldemort dreamed of immortality, becoming the most powerful wizard in the world, ruling the wizarding world and even the whole world. What a grand wish.

It is a pity that human beings have struggled for thousands of years, but still have not achieved the goal of world unification. If you want to rule the world with Voldemort's strength, it is no doubt a fool's dream.

Zicomo shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his head, and walked towards his destination.

The Ministry of Magic has seven departments, namely the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Department of Magical Traffic, the Department of Magical Sports and the Department of Mysteries.

Zicomo is going to the Last Division of Mysteries, which is located on the ninth underground level of the Ministry of Magic and is the top secret agency of the Ministry of Magic.

The staff of the Department of Mysteries, also known as the Silent People, work on a top-secret level and no one ever knows what they are doing, not even the Minister of Magic knows.

It is said that there are several rooms in the Department of Mysteries, in which various mysterious powers are sealed, and their existence is in a form that is incomprehensible or even completely uncontrollable.

The Silent Man is exploring and experimenting on these mysterious forces, which is equivalent to a mysterious scientific research department.

But they don't seem to be very popular with Fudge, or they wouldn't be reduced to a night watch by the Department of Mysteries. It is estimated that after so many years of research, nothing has been developed, and Fudge has regarded it as a department that only knows how to swallow money.

On his way to the Department of Mysteries, Zicomo encounters another mute who is on duty with Rookwood, presumably on patrol. Zicomo didn't intend to talk nonsense with him either, so he sent him a Sleeping Charm and an Oblivion Charm directly.

Through the elevator, Zicomo came to the ninth underground floor.

Beyond the fence of the lift is a rudimentary corridor, ending in a modest black door. It seems that the funds for the Department of Mysteries are indeed not much, not even the basic decoration.

After opening the black door, Zicomo came to a circular room where everything was black, including the ceiling and floor. Twelve identical black doors without any markings or handles were arranged in an orderly manner on the surrounding walls.

Blue candles dotted the walls, and the black marble floor reflected the faint candlelight, like a pool of black water.

"What a weird place, is this really the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione shrank in Zicomo's arms.

"Hmm, that's what the Department of Mysteries is," Zicomo replied.

"So, what are you doing in a place like this?" Hermione asked.

"Come and find something, and explore here by the way." Zicomo said.

With that said, Zicomo pushed open one of the twelve doors.

Behind the door is a long and narrow rectangular room that is very bright inside. The room was empty, with only a table and a huge glass water tank in the center. On one side of the room, there is also a door leading to the next door.

The water tank is very huge, filled with dark green liquid, like a small swimming pool.

A group of 003 white jellyfish-like creatures swim in the dark green liquid. Zicomo hugged Hermione and took a closer look, it was not a jellyfish at all, but a brain with tentacles growing.

Their tentacles wiggle up and down in the water, looking like jellyfish from a distance.

Seeing such a strange scene, Zicomo was not afraid, but even thought it was a little funny. These brains reminded him of the totem of the Flying Spaghetti Sect.

Hermione is also not afraid of them, and also complained with interest: "This is a paradise for zombies.

She was referring to the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies, whose favorite thing to do is eat brains.

"Don't underestimate them, they are very powerful creatures in a sense." Zicomo reminded.

He learned from Rookwood's memory that these bizarre brains can cause great mental damage to people through their tentacles. And it is also immune to most magic, even spells such as splitting may not be able to have an effect on them.

Zicomo told Hermione what he had learned, and Hermione didn't expect these strange creatures to have such great abilities.

"In that case, we'd better not disturb them," Hermione said.

Zicomo nodded and led Hermione to the other door of this room lightly, opened the door and walked to the next door.

The room next door is a dark room full of planets. These planets are not real, but illusions like holographic projections. It's just that it is more real than holographic projection. When people are in it, it seems that they have really come to outer space.

Zicomo thought to himself that if this room was put in the Rhea Lucaria Magic Academy, the group of astrologers would go into a frenzy and indulge in a frenzy.

But Zicomo just admired it for a while and left the room, what he was looking for was not here.
