Hogwarts in the shadows

On a sparsely populated street, Hephis was sandwiched between two thugs, one on the left and one on the right, with a sharp blade pressed against his ribs.

"Boy, be quiet. My knife has no eyes." The burly man on the right threatened viciously.

"Boy, we only want money. Seeing your luxurious clothes, you must be from a noble family. You shouldn't care about such a small amount of money. As long as you cooperate, we promise not to hurt you at all."

Another thin man with a rat-like face spoke softly but firmly.

Hephis sneered in his heart. He certainly didn't care about the threats from these two people.

It was night time now, which was his stage. However, although there were few people on the street, it was not a good idea to take direct action.

Hephis nodded obediently and said in fake fear: "No problem, as long as you don't hurt me, all the money on me is yours."

As he spoke, he made a motion to reach into his pocket.

"Boy, don't move, come with us." The big man stopped Hephis and walked with him into a dark alley.

It was exactly the surveillance blind spot that Hephis had confirmed before.

It seems that these two guys are very familiar with this area. They were knocked unconscious for a while, and their shadows can be used to quickly understand the area.

The alley was dark, and the big man said with satisfaction: "Boy, not bad, you are cooperating! Hand over all the valuables on you, and take off your clothes."

The thin man had a lustful look in his eyes, "Brother Da, look at this boy, he has delicate skin and tender flesh, can you let me have some fun later?"

Hephis felt a chill and sneered in his heart. It was time to end this game.

"Fuck you, Rat, you're the only one who has so much to do. I'm going to stand guard outside, you better finish your work quickly." Da Ge said impatiently.

The mouse approached Hephaestus with a strange laugh.

Hephaestus stopped pretending and revealed his hand. A black hand sprang out from the shadow of the mouse.

Holding a stone picked up from somewhere in his hand, he smashed the mouse hard on the back of the head, knocking it unconscious to the ground.

Da Ge, who hadn't turned around yet, was stunned when he saw the floating black hand.

When Da Ge reacted and was about to scream, he was knocked to the ground by a black hand with a brick.

Hephis was in a dilemma. This was his first attempt to use shadow to transfer the two black hands, and the timing was not synchronized.

Being seen by this Da Ge would undoubtedly be a trouble.

But it doesn't matter. Let's find a place to starve this Da Ge for a few days, and he will probably forget about it.

When Hephis was about to put Dago in the shadow box.

Blood gushed out from the mouse's collapsed body like a fountain.

Hephis was stunned for a moment, his body shaking uncontrollably.

He trembled and manipulated his two black hands to avoid the scarlet and turned the mouse's body over.

The moment the mouse fell to the ground, it happened to hit an iron rod with a sharp tip that was inserted diagonally into the ground.

Hephis tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and stretched his trembling fingers to the mouse's nostrils, without breathing.

Moving again to the mouse's left carotid artery, the pulsation also disappeared.

Hephesus fell to the ground. He had actually killed someone.

Hephis's breathing was rapid, sweat was all over his body, and his stomach was churning.

Hefeth forced himself to calm down and now had to deal with the scene quickly.

He quickly used the shadow box to cover the bodies of Da Ge and the mouse. Even the bloodstains on the ground were rolled into the shadow box. Then the shadow box merged into the shadow and disappeared without a trace.

Hephis didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left the dim alley.

Walking on the street, he still couldn't calm down.

He tried to walk in places with few people and found a quiet forest on the way.

He covered the ground with a shadow box, swapped the rat's body with the deeper soil, and buried the rat.

Afterwards, Hefes quickly returned to the basement of the rented house, found a strong rope, tied up Da Ge tightly, and blocked his mouth.

He fell onto the sofa, his body still shaking, his heart beating as violently as thunder, and his clothes soaked with sweat.

He grabbed his hair tightly, as if trying to use the physical pain to dispel the fear and pain in his heart.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the only thing left in Hephes' world was his breathing and heartbeat.

Suddenly, a faint groan broke the silence.

Da Ge slowly woke up from his coma. Although his eyes were still a little blurry, he was aware of his situation - he was tied up with his hands behind his back and his mouth was blocked.

Dago's eyes fell on the blurry figure of Hephis, and then he struggled on the ground, making a low whimper in his throat, trying to attract Hephis' attention.

Hephis took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously. He whispered to himself, trying to strengthen his conviction with words.

This is just a killing. He has traveled through time, possesses the power of the devil fruit, and is also a wizard. With so many buffs combined, would he still be afraid of killing?

At this time, Hephis had regained his composure. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. This Da Ge could not be kept.

There is only a difference between killing zero times and killing countless times.

He ordered Black Hand to attack again, and Da Ge was knocked unconscious again with a brick, and the basement returned to silence again.

The scissors formed by the shadows cut off Da Ge's shadow.

He swallowed it directly and began to look through Da Ge's memories to see if he could get some useful information.

As the memory unfolded, Hephis's eyes gradually became gloomy.

Although Da Ge is only a small leader of the Vulture Gang, his crimes are too numerous to list, including rape, robbery, murder and all sorts of evil.

Just like the robbery of Hephes today, if Hephes does not have enough ability to fight back, then the fate that awaits him can only be brutally killed.

It's impossible to say that he will be released.

Hephes brought Dago to the living room, placed him by the window, and waited quietly.

The sun gradually rose, and the first ray of sunlight shone on Da Ge through the window.

It started from Dago's feet and was erased bit by bit.

Da Ge was already awake at this time. He watched in horror as his body disappeared bit by bit.

He struggled even harder, but to no avail.

Da Ge disappeared in endless fear, and his traces completely disappeared without a trace left.

Hephis just watched quietly, without a trace of emotion in his heart.

He lay in the bathtub, allowing four black hands to skillfully touch him all over, allowing his tired body and mind to gradually relax.

He fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

When Hephis woke up, he was sweating all over.

This nightmare continued, as if endless hands were pulling him into the abyss. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape from the dream.

Three days later, Hephesus was finally relieved because he finally recognized the world he was in.

Strength is the master of this world.

And he, Hephes, happens to be the one who possesses this power.

Hefeth began to devote himself madly to training and studying.

At first there were only three or four, but later more and more shadows were swallowed at the same time.

The feeling of devouring shadows is really addictive, and the feeling of having a brain is intoxicating to him.

He was becoming increasingly unable to tolerate his own poor slow-moving brain.

If he hadn't retained a bit of sanity and hadn't felt compelled to return the shadow, he would have really wanted to devour the shadow all the time.

Hephes is now like a drug addict.
