Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 227 Constantine's Whereabouts

Before leaving Nurmengard, Lin You guessed that what happened tonight might not be over; and the first step out of the tower, Dumbledore's first words confirmed Earl Goff's guess.

"We are going to meet with Mr. Constantine again; Mr. Constantine may be impressed by the mysterious man named O'Dimm."

Another person who was impressed by O'Dimm nodded and pretended to be unfamiliar with the devil: "Then let's go again! I'm also curious why the devil would choose Grindelwald; he and Constantine are obviously two different types of people."

As a result, the old man and the child crossed half of Western Europe and the English Channel, but were turned away when they returned. Although there was a dim light in the window, there was no sound in the wooden house.

Lin You looked up at the sky. The starry sky in the suburbs without light pollution was bright. He shook his head: "It seems that Constantine is not the kind of good boy who goes home obediently at a certain time in the evening and waits for his parents to tell him a bedtime story. At this time... do you want to try the nightlife of Muggle young people, professor? You should seldom go to nightclubs and bars, right?"

"A Muggle bar should be very different from the wizarding world. I'm curious, but I'm old." Dumbledore obviously had not yet calmed down from his previous intense emotions, and even his usual witty remarks were made listlessly.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Lin You spread his hands to show his helplessness.

Dumbledore suddenly suggested, "Is it possible... I mean, through the intelligence department of the Muggle government? You should have connections in this area, right?"

Lin You stared at him for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "Professor, you are so concerned that you are confused. Are you so easily disturbed by the affairs of the wizarding world and are you actively inviting the Muggle government to intervene? Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "I'm sorry, Blaise, I'm really confused. It seems that today is not suitable for further action. I must go back and think about what to do next. I will send an owl to find you then, okay?"

"of course."

The old wizard blamed himself for his misbehavior, and after a simple farewell to Lin You, he hurried away. There was also a mysterious "curse attack" incident in the school that needed to be resolved by the principal. Now, coupled with the devil's deal and his sister's resurrection, the series of events made Dumbledore exhausted both physically and mentally.

Lin You, like a young person who strictly adheres to the tradition of respecting elders, stood there and watched Dumbledore leave, and waited for a while before leaving; however, he did not Apparate, nor did he open a portal to the dimensional space, but instead walked leisurely in the woods.

When they walked to the edge of the woods and could no longer see the lights of the magic cabin, a strange human-shaped black figure quietly "separated" from the shadows of the trees.

"I didn't expect this matter to alarm you so quickly. It seems that I still underestimate the influence of the writer on the world."

Under the starlight, the black shadow's facial features were blurred, but Lin You recognized the other party's unique accent as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Odimu, I was just about to look for you!" Lin You said as he walked straight past the shadow without stopping.

"Are you going to walk all the way to find me like this?"

"If we can't find it by walking, can we find it by running?" Lin You asked with a smile, "Since you have shown up yourself, why don't you just stop beating around the bush. What are you planning to do?"

“Plan? What plan do I have?” O’Dimm’s words sounded like the amplified sound of a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, making people shudder. “I’m just trying to protect my prey from being snatched away by other hunters.”

"Is your 'prey' Constantine or Grindelwald? It can't be Ariana. You hadn't come to the big world when she died."

"Of course it's Constantine." The Mirror Master always behaved very frankly in front of the writer. "As for Grindelwald... I have to say, this soul also has a unique charm, but it is not as attractive as Constantine after all. If you must make a comparison, it is more like an aperitif or appetizer before the main course."

"But something that is too tempting will also attract too many competitors, right?" Lin You teased, "You've run into a tough guy? A big devil from hell, and a native from the Bible?"

Based on the author's understanding of the Mirror Master, although the difference in the story world itself makes O'Dimm far less powerful than the great devil in the Bible story, in terms of plotting and exploring contract loopholes, the Mirror Master's achievements are not inferior to any of his "peers". Unexpectedly, this question made O'Dimm suddenly angry;
"Not a tough one, not some native native from a Bible story, not even a big devil, she's not even a devil! An opportunistic bitch, a slutty socialite, a dirty bitch..."

It was as if the Mirror Master had accumulated a large amount of negative emotions, which suddenly poured out when the writer accidentally opened the valve.

"You mentioned 'she' just now?" Lin You caught the key words from a bunch of worthless nonsense; "she" and "he" in English are not the same word.

Lin You asked, "Is it the female devil who appeared next to Constantine recently?"

"She-devil?" O'Dimm sneered, "Did Constantine tell you that?"

"Is there anything wrong with him saying that?"

"Hehe, he didn't even know the other party's true identity, but he might have handed over his soul directly." O'Dimm sighed, "That person is not a devil at all, but he wants to snatch my favorite 'prey'."

"Now that you mention it, I'm getting interested. Who is that 'she'?"

"To be honest, I don't know either." O'Dimm's answer was completely confusing. "She clearly has the strongest breath of hell, and the way she possesses the dead is exactly the same as the devil. But why is the definition of her existence not that of a devil?"

Lin You was confused and said with emotion: "No wonder Constantine is interested in her; a woman who even the devil can't figure out her origins - should we call her a 'woman'?"

"You can call her whatever you want, no one knows what she is anyway."

Lin You asked again: "Where is Constantine now? Is he with that 'woman'?"

"of course."

"Do you know where they are?"

"Yes."

"Then take me to see it."

Odimu frowned slightly: "Are you going to take a look?"

"Isn't this what you want to see?" Lin You spread his hands, "Why else would you come to me? Turn yourself in, or confess your motive for committing the crime?"

O'Dimm remained silent, revealing a false but appropriate embarrassment of having the truth exposed.

In order to fight for Constantine's soul, he stirred up such a big mess that even the writer was implicated. Master Mirror was really worried about offending someone; this trip tonight was a subtle explanation for his behavior.

But Lin You added leisurely: "Besides, I'm just going to take a look. I didn't say I would definitely intervene in your dispute?"
