Rita took only one breath and felt dizzy.

She quickly held her breath and moved away from the area, rummaging through her crocodile leather handbag with her hands trembling slightly.

When she fled England, she took with her many necessities, including the antidote potion.

The woman pulled out the cork and drank the potion in one gulp. Her mind instantly became clear, and then she took out the invisibility cloak from her bag and put it on herself.

Rita believed that with Muggle technology, it was impossible to see through the invisibility of wizards.

But she was too tired to run any further. She took out a few chocolates from her bag, devoured them, and drank a bottle of mead, and then she felt alive again.

——How long has this half hour passed?

Rita was about to check the time when she suddenly heard the “buzzing” sound again.

This time, the sound came from both ends of the pipe, and more than a dozen vehicles began to surround her with a clear purpose, some of which had gun barrels adjusting their angles – those were the only Muggle weapons Rita recognized.

Rita was shocked – she was wearing an invisible cloak, so how could these ghosts find her?

“boom–“

The sound of the explosion traveled far away along the pipe, so far that people in the underground cell heard the noise and looked up in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

……

A few minutes later, there were a few more things in front of the ponytailed man—

Broken bloody coat.

Dragon leather ladies boots with broken soles.

And a damaged invisibility cloak.

After the invisibility cloak was damaged, the invisibility effect disappeared, and it now looked like just a simple cloak made of gray animal skin.

On the big screen, a short video was playing:

The scorpion cars surrounded a certain empty place. While they were waiting for the order to attack, a bright light suddenly burst out from the center of the encirclement. The invisible attack force instantly tore several scorpion cars into pieces, and then the picture turned into a field of flashing snowflakes.

The technician adjusted the video, and the picture was frozen at the last moment, where a figure in green clothes could be vaguely seen.

The ponytailed man was so angry that he laughed: “Why can’t these wizards just give up? Why do they have to struggle to the death?”

No one around responded.

“Turn on the magnetic field.” The ponytailed man said coldly, “I don’t believe she can hold on for much longer.”

“The magnet has not yet finished cooling down.” The man with glasses reminded quietly, “I’m afraid we need to wait about ten minutes, otherwise it will easily burn the instrument.”

The ponytail man said angrily, “I told them a long time ago that the bit chips should be replaced. Those guys above would rather spend money to find women than increase investment in the longevity project. Sooner or later, they will pay the price for this.”

“Don’t be angry.” The woman in red said nonchalantly, “The little mouse can’t escape. You can use this as an excuse to apply for another sum of funds.”

“That’s right.” The man’s anger came and went quickly. He softened his tone and said, “Let’s do it again in ten minutes.”

“No, wait twenty more minutes.” The woman in red said, “Wouldn’t it be more interesting if she was suddenly hit hard when she thought she was safe?”

……

Rita huddled in the pipe in fear, but the expected invisible torture did not come.

She waited for another minute, and finally couldn’t hold back any longer and ran out from her hiding place.

Rita, who has recovered some of her strength, has turned back into a beetle. Only this form can make her feel safe.

She crawled along the pipe for a while, occasionally looking through the fence to see where she was.

She saw all kinds of strange instruments, owls being locked up for research, busy researchers, messy storage rooms, and densely stacked warehouses.

After seeing a pile of counterfeit friend books piled on the shelves in the warehouse, Rita suddenly stopped and hesitated for several times, but could not dispel the idea in her mind.

If she had to say what Rita Skeeter regretted most about this distress, it would definitely be that she left the friend book that was used to contact Wade Grey in England.

Before, Rita’s idea was simple – she couldn’t complete Vid Grey’s commission, and was worried that he would take back the invisibility cloak, so she unilaterally cut off contact with Vid Grey.

She knew that some friend books had positioning functions, and she was worried that the friend book that Wade Grey gave her was one of those, so she left it at home when she left.

In fact, Rita Skeeter had a stack of friend lists in her bag, but she had no friends. Those contacts were either people she had held hostage or they were just colleagues of hers.

She knew very well that these so-called “friends” were quite helpful in helping her get information, and some could even help to smooth over relationships, but no one was willing or able to rescue her.

Weed Grey was still a child, so perhaps he couldn’t, but he had Dumbledore behind him.

No matter how much Rita Skeeter slandered and belittled Dumbledore as a confused old lunatic, she knew in her heart that the only one who could lend a helping hand to strangers or even enemies and save her in this environment was Albus Dumbledore.

But she had lost her only possible way to connect with Dumbledore.

Regret gnawed at her heart like a worm. Rita Skeeter hesitated for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a very precious potion from her handbag and took only a small sip.

Its color is like molten gold, sparkling as it flows, which is very attractive.

This is a lucky potion, a very exotic and very expensive one that brings good luck to the person who drinks it.

Rita got this little bit of medicine by chance. The effect of the medicine only lasts for about an hour, and she has been reluctant to drink it.

At this moment, Rita raised her head and drank the potion. Then, she closed her eyes, and an extremely uplifting feeling flowed through her body, making her feel that her mind was extremely clear, her magic power was smooth and powerful, as if she could do anything.

No… not everything can…

Rita opened her eyes, her look extremely calm, without any panic or fatigue.

She was clearly aware that she could not escape from this place within an hour – she didn’t even know what the surrounding environment was like, or whether there were any ordinary families.

——But it’s not that there is no solution.

A strange confidence and intuition urged her to act immediately.

She immediately turned into a beetle, crawled out of the fence and fell into the warehouse.

The warehouse manager just turned his head and started to sort the items on the shelves, without noticing that there was an uninvited guest in his area.

Rita quickly stole two fake friend books, then hid her crocodile leather handbag in the corner of the bottom shelf, and only stuffed a few bottles of potions into her pockets.

——The remaining things in the handbag are of no use to her at the moment, but the interview notes inside are precious treasures that Rita has accumulated over the years. She would be heartbroken if she lost them.

Then, Rita used a small levitation spell to send the copycat friend book through the fence into the ventilation duct, and before the administrator turned around, she turned into a beetle and flew away again.

This time, she brought the Book of Friends and returned to the room where the owl was imprisoned.

Fortunately, there was no one inside.

“Of course.” Rita thought confidently, “Luck is on my side now!”

With these animals, the rules were much looser, and the owls were kept in ordinary cages, from which an Unlocking Charm could easily release them.

Rita’s intuition made her choose the owl that looked the thinnest. She rolled up a friend’s note and tied it to its claws. The owl looked at her quietly.

Rita wrote down Weed Grey’s name and address, then leaned over and pressed her forehead against the top of the owl’s head.

“I’m counting on you… to deliver the letter.”

The owl cooed twice, as if in agreement.

“Open the Alaho hole!”

A dozen owls fluttered up and flew out of the room through the narrow window and returned to the free sky.

There was a sudden noisy sound outside.

Rita Skeeter transforms into a beetle and lands on the back of a Hairy-legged Fishing Owl just in time to pass through the window with it.

“boom!”

Gunshots rang out, and the fisherman owl fell with a wail, hitting the ground heavily, accompanied by splattering blood and feathers. A beetle quickly crawled towards a gap in the corner of the wall.

As soon as it found a hiding place, the buzzing sound started again.

In the silent struggle, Rita opened her eyes wide and saw the scattered owls being pierced by bullets and falling like raindrops.

But the weakest owl was able to move flexibly, carrying Rita Skeeter’s hope of survival and flying away.

The buzzing sound had no effect on it, but if Rita had been lying on its back trying to escape, both she and the bird would have fallen like a kite with a broken string.

In the midst of the agony, she gave a twisted smile.

When this difficult time was over, Rita jumped up again without hesitation and crawled deep underground following the guidance of the potion.

The air gradually became polluted, and she saw narrow cells and many children who looked very young in the cells…

A little explanation:

The sea was not boiled, that was the cooling water discharged, and the article said there were pipes.

Water-cooled magnets were the first type of magnets used by scientists. In 1996, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the United States increased the magnetic field level of water-cooled magnets to 33T. Such a strong magnetic field is not actually needed in the article.

It is not a large magnetic field covering the entire island, but a dot-matrix distribution like sesame seeds sprinkled on a cake, resonating at the same frequency.

In addition, the water-cooled magnetic field can actually be maintained at a high intensity for a long time. In order to increase the coverage area, this article shortens the duration and can only be turned on for one to three minutes each time.

The author’s knowledge of physics is not enough to make more detailed settings. If there are any errors, please regard them as the different rules of the world of magic.

Did the Muggle government get involved in this in the end? If the Muggle government knew about this, why didn’t the Ministry of Magic know about it?

Firstly, in peacetime, there is no close contact between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government. Fudge will occasionally jump out and say, “We have a dragon coming in, you guys should be prepared.”

Secondly, not every Muggle government has strong control over its own country, so don’t apply China’s situation to other countries.
