Chapter 154 The drama everyone wants to see
After Augustus's explanations were all over, Professor Snape was still silent there, although he had already read many classic masterpieces of the Muggle world at the fastest speed.
However, he still seemed to lack a lot of understanding of the deepest operating logic of the Muggle world, but out of trust in the other party, Professor Snape still nodded and said softly.
"Then what should I do? If it involves the Muggle world, I don't think I can help you too much."
"After all, I don't have any official status. The Minister of the British Ministry of Magic has contacted some people in the British government."
"But as you know, the current Minister of Magic has become Voldemort's puppet and even..."
Professor Snape couldn't find an adjective for that parasitic state.
"Parasitized host!"
"I think you mean to say this, Professor, Mr. Cornelius Fudge is a stupid idiot, and he could have safely stepped down from office."
"Then under our protection, he quietly lived a rich life, but he chose to hold on to the power in his hand."
"In any game of power, losers are not allowed. The losers will only become the nourishment of the winners, and there will be no dregs left after being eaten."
Seeing Professor Snape's speechless state, Augustus responded calmly.
Faced with this description from Augustus, Professor Snape didn't say anything, just nodded calmly, and then looked at the other party waiting for the other party to assign tasks.
"Relations with the Muggle World Government, and control of their media, will be handed over to Barty Crouch Sr. and Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
"As I promised you, as long as the Muggle world is involved, I will definitely consider all the details."
"And we have already made preparations. Before you find out, the major media in the UK, such as the BBC, have already been invested by us."
"Although we can't directly control these agencies, I don't think it's a big problem to change some minor reports."
"Old Mr. Barty Crouch is nominally still the Director of the Department of Magical Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. This is his official identity, and he will wait for the authorization of the International Federation of Wizards held in Paris, France, one month later."
"We can start our comprehensive plan in an official capacity, and the planning process is not too long, only less than four months."
Facing the other party's arrangement, Professor Snape agreed, but he was still very puzzled, because he still couldn't understand what he came here for.
So he asked seriously.
"Then since my mission is not in the Muggle world, it must involve Voldemort again, and the other party's current mental state has already appeared problematic."
"As you expected, except for some wizards who have already established a relationship with us, or secretly communicated with Lucius and the others."
"Those wizards under the rule of the Ministry of Magic have lived a life like death, especially those who are half-blood or Muggle-born."
"In this short period of less than a month, the other party has secretly executed about fifty people, and they have been suppressing this matter."
"I think in a few days the "Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler" will be competing to report this matter."
"As for the counterattack against them, and the so-called mission that Voldemort entrusted to me, it was just a scam or a trap."
"I really can't understand why you have to contact him again."
Facing Professor Snape's question, Augustus did not answer, but poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank the bright red liquid in one gulp.
Feeling the burning temperature of the surrounding magical flames, listening to the gurgling sound of the alchemy potion, he was silent for a while before speaking slowly.
"Because these are not enough, you should have seen the reaction of those students when they saw the newspaper."
"They were all mourning the death of the Auror, but they didn't care about the other wizards in the dock at all."
"Why that's because the images give them the feeling of a simple binary, the evil Death Eater killing the righteous Auror."
"Under our protection, they are still living a carefree and prosperous life. They cannot understand the helplessness of ordinary people, and they cannot understand that under absolute violence, the silent majority will always be."
"Tomorrow's report will definitely not cause too much disturbance. They will only spurn Voldemort again, but they cannot understand the feelings of those people when they died."
"The death of one person is a tragedy, but the death of many people is just a number. We need a more direct feeling."
"Simply direct enough to shock everyone, and that's the way the photo was taken, the simple binary, good versus evil."
These words made Professor Snape completely silent. He was indeed carefully observing the students' state, because he was afraid that his students would show extreme mentality out of the worship of power.
However, he did not observe that those people regretted the loss of their personal lives, but ignored the collective tragedy.
After thinking about it, Professor Snape agreed with Augustus' point of view, and also thought that tomorrow's report might not resonate with too many people.
In order to avoid the death of more people and the tragic death of more silent people, Professor Snape asked calmly.
"Then what should I do? Although I don't want to deny that you are doing this, it seems a bit too heartless. When they die or witness the death of their favorite person, the pain is indescribable .”
Hearing these words, Augustus couldn't help but look at Professor Nepe, then said calmly, shaking his wine glass.
"Because you've experienced it before, right? The person you love the most dies in your arms. It's probably only you who have experienced that feeling."
"Don't worry, I won't let your salvation come too late, this plan will only last for four months, and it will be just like you said."
"You have to admit that those who died had a mentality problem. There were so many opportunities in front of them, but they were unwilling to grasp them."
"Sometimes it's like this, maybe it's a step too late, but what you get is lost forever."
After saying this, Augustus drank the red wine in the glass, then stood up, and put the sealed glass bottle in front of Professor Snape.
"You are not mistaken, the ray of soul inside belongs to Mr. Tom Reed."
"You just need to bring this bottle to him. The memory in the bottle governs the soul, and he will send a message to Voldemort."
"That is, he has two horcruxes that I have found, Ravenclaw's crown, and Hufflepuff's golden cup. His soul may be destroyed by me at any time."
"If you want, restore your strength as soon as possible, find more bastards who are in the same rank as him, and come to Hogwarts Castle to ask Dumbledore for it."
"Assault on Hogwarts Castle, the contest between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the new era, simple binary confrontation, the battle that everyone wants to see."
"This is the story that can resonate with people, and it is also a scene that can be remembered fresh."
After speaking, Augustus stretched his waist and yawned, then turned and walked towards the door of the laboratory. He had worked for almost ten hours and needed a good rest.
Augustus, who opened the door of the laboratory, seemed to have thought of something at this moment, turned his head to look at Professor Snape who was still sitting there, and said softly.
"Drink that glass of wine, professor. This is Mrs. Potter's new wine. Although it tastes a bit bitter, I have to say that the feelings in it are sincere."
After finishing speaking, he opened the door and left, leaving only Professor Snape in that luxurious laboratory, looking at the glass of red wine in front of him, thinking about something constantly.
And the soul in the secret glass bottle is still fluttering, trying to open the bottle's shackles.
