As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group Chapter 532: The Joy of Another’s Pain
Previously on As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group...
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: What a guy, what a beast slayer! I love hearing that!
Machete Girl: Truly a beast, both father and son!
Katsura Kotonoha’s face was filled with righteous indignation; she was truly disgusted. Both Shi Jian, the father, and Shi Shaojian, the son, were scumbags!
"Ye, are you okay?" Sensing her expression, Janet beside her couldn’t help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It’s fine, I just remembered some very unpleasant things." Katsura Kotonoha took a deep breath, shook her head, and looked out the window at the rolling mountains. "It looks like we’re about to land."
They were currently on a plane, with their destination being Switzerland’s national airport.
To solve the second riddle and find "The Wandering Mogan Duo," Kotonoha had to ask Janet to be her guide. After all, she was completely unfamiliar with the Taimur Snow Mountain, while Janet had been there a few times for work.
"Oh, that’s great." Janet also glanced out the window and said, "It’s been two years since I’ve been here. I don’t know if the Babulo Tavern is still there. They have excellent special performances there at night."
"Special performances?" Katsura Kotonoha blinked, her face full of confusion.
"You know, those ladies dressed as bunny girls. I bet you can’t resist."
"No, I refuse!"
Katsura Kotonoha’s lips twitched, and she decisively shook her head. She had no interest in such performances and didn’t want to become a harem king like Ruiko and Eriri. She only liked cute, young boys!
Doujin Artist: What a guy, he even thinks of being an emperor! If something like that became emperor, the world would be in chaos!
Soul Society’s Villain: I think if Lin Jiu hadn’t appeared, he might have actually ascended the throne.
Lazy Kitten: Exactly! The gods and demons in that world are no longer visible. Apart from Uncle Nine, who else could stop these two father and son? If this Shi Shaojian were to absorb enough human blood and turn into a Jiangshi, it would truly bring ruin to the land.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: For it to take shape is already enough to cause widespread suffering. Think about the other condition for forming a corpse puppet. The person who turns into a corpse puppet needs to have a sufficiently firm will. Is this Shi Shaojian a firm person?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Oh yeah, I didn’t even consider that. How could this scoundrel have a firm will! But if his will isn’t firm, then how can he...
This is an Actor: It’s very simple. You just need to find sacrifices with even weaker wills.
Silence.
After Gerard sent this message, the entire group fell silent. Sacrifices with weaker wills, this was easy to understand. It meant human children, or even infants.
Naïve children knew nothing, so there was naturally no question of whether their will was firm or not.
Nearly ten thousand children. While it sounded like a large number, it was hardly difficult for the warlords of Yuezhou Prefecture to collect them. Through sweeping through every village and hamlet, they could always gather enough.
The parents of the children would naturally not be willing to hand over their own flesh and blood, but could their strength resist the warlords?
Gerard sighed silently, shifting his gaze to the headmaster’s office at Hogwarts.
At this moment, Dumbledore was leading Harry, Ron, and Hermione back to the school. The trio all had their heads down, looking a bit dejected. Standing beside them were Acting Headmistress McGonagall and Acting Deputy Headmaster Snape.
"Well, well, well, this is truly remarkable." Looking at these students, Snape’s venomous tongue struck again. "Our great trio of saviors managed to cross the Forbidden Forest and find the house-elf settlement. And you had the honor of a face-to-face meeting with their leader?"
"We, we just wanted to clear Professor Dumbledore’s name," Ron couldn’t help but interject.
"I am grateful for your defense, children," Dumbledore said, shaking his head gently. "But this is ultimately not something you needed to do."
"We’re sorry, we were too impulsive," Harry apologized immediately.
"This is not something that can be made right with a simple apology." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, her voice stern. "From now until the end of the semester, you will have to clean the Gryffindor common room every single day without a break! Also, because of your actions, Gryffindor will lose two hundred points!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s expressions became even more crestfallen, but they dared not complain.
"Go back now, children," Dumbledore smiled. "You must be exhausted, go back and rest."
The trio lowered their heads and slowly turned to leave the headmaster’s office.
"You are far too lenient with them, Professor McGonagall," Snape said slowly, only after their figures had disappeared.
McGonagall’s punishment, though seemingly severe, was in fact protecting them. Just cleaning the common room and losing points were hardly substantial punishments.
"This is Albus’s wish," Professor McGonagall said after a moment of silence.
"While it was indeed impulsive, it was thanks to them that I was able to obtain the evidence, wasn’t it?" Dumbledore chuckled softly and took a purple crystal from his sleeve.
This crystal contained a detailed account of the capture operation, which would perfectly clear Dumbledore’s name.
"Is this a memory crystal?" Snape’s brow furrowed as he stared intently at the crystal. "This is an ancient alchemical craft, believed to have been lost for a long time."
"Yes, it seems our new neighbors are not simple folk." Dumbledore gently rubbed the crystal, hinting at something.
He had originally gone to the house-elf settlement prepared to be fleeced, not expecting the other party’s condition to be merely for Hogwarts to acknowledge and protect their settlement.
Was the leader of the house-elves, named "Ollie," truly that generous, or was it...?
Looking at Dumbledore’s suspicious expression, Gerard’s lips curved into a playful smile. The troublesome thoughts he had just had somewhat dissipated.
Indeed, wasn’t happiness built upon the suffering of others?
Shaking his head, he opened the group chat again. The first thing that caught his eye was a beautiful scenery photo posted by Li Mochou.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I’m at Mount Song, quite a lot of people.
