Chapter 451 449. Backstab
Snape clutched his stomach, the robes there had been completely blown to pieces, and he was also turned into a **** mess.
Blood dripped from his body continuously, but he didn't have the slightest intention to stop, and still flew towards one direction with a firm goal.
Behind him, the five Death Eaters were also chasing after him, showing no sign of letting him go.
Even if the order from Voldemort was to capture Snape back alive, these purebloods probably wanted to take this opportunity to make Snape suffer.
There are many ways to capture alive, coupled with Snape's obvious attitude of rebellion, it is even more reason for them to "take care" of this half-blood wizard who has fallen out of favor.
Now this is just a little appetizer, and it's not yet time for a big meal.
Although they don't quite understand why Snape has already escaped, he would return to England even though he is unwilling to return to Voldemort's embrace, but what these Death Eaters know is that Snape's behavior is tantamount to So he cast himself into the trap.
The current British Ministry of Magic's control over the entire UK over the years can be said to be solid. Not only has a stable order been formed in the magical world, but even the Muggle government has inherited the connections and resources of the previous Ministry of Magic. Let those Muggle politicians think that the British Ministry of Magic is still a group of wizards pursuing peace as before.
This made Snape inescapable from the moment he was discovered. Even with Apparation, the Death Eaters could continue to find him immediately based on the traces he left behind.
At this moment, the distance between them and Snape is slowly shortening. This kind of magical flying speed created by Voldemort is actually not slow, but before taking off, Snape had already suffered a lot of injuries, so it was seriously slowed down. his speed.
Just when they left this industrial city and began to enter a suburb, Snape suddenly began to fall from the sky, like a kite with a broken string, heading straight towards the countryside on the ground A shed fell down.
The five Death Eaters chasing behind seemed to have not figured out the situation for a while. They didn't know whether Snape's current state was that he was exhausted and unable to control his flight and fell, or he started to land on his own initiative.
It was precisely because they didn't understand that they all started to panic.
Their masters are now much crazier than before. Regarding Snape, Voldemort's request is that they must be captured alive, so they absolutely dare not take Snape's dead body back with them.
If that's the case, they'll just be buried with Snape in the end!
Thus, these Death Eaters began to desperately lower the broomsticks below them, and began to accelerate their descent!
One by one, they showed the professional qualities of those Quidditch players in the professional arena, staring at Snape like they were staring at the Golden Snitch, and at the same time swooped down on him!
But when the three fastest flying among them were less than ten meters away from Snape, Snape's figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air.
The five of them froze for a second, but then someone reacted quickly!
"He Apparated! Check it out!"
Among this group of people is a senior official of the Department of Magical Sports, who has the highest level of authority to call for apparition reconnaissance. He has already confirmed the apparition almost in the third second after Snape disappeared. drop point.
"It's just three kilometers ahead on the left below!"
Puzzlingly, Snape's Apparation this time did not teleport to a place too far away, or to an inaccessible location, but right under them.
"Chase!"
But no one stayed, this is the UK, which is their base camp, and of course they have nothing to fear.
Soon the five Death Eaters rushed to Snape's Apparation landing site, which was a shack that looked like it hadn't been built for a long time.
The Death Eaters rushed into the shed, and Snape was panting and sitting on a sofa chair in the shed, as if his body had been exhausted to the limit, and the injury on his stomach did not allow him to escape any longer.
Looking at these Death Eaters rushing in, Snape didn't beg for mercy, and even the expression on his face didn't change at all, he just looked at the leader.
"Mulciber, we are indeed old friends."
He calmly sighed, and the Death Eater called Mulciber was one of Snape's friends in Slytherin when he was a student, but now he has an indifferent expression on his face looking at Snape.
"Friendship is friendship, you should know what kind of mistake you made, Severus, since you escaped from Dumbledore's hand successfully, why didn't you return to your master immediately?"
Snape smiled, his face that seemed to always show sarcasm, of course there would be no good smile, it was obviously a sneer.
"I wonder if our master, has he figured out why he wants to take me back so urgently?"
Mulciber and his companions looked at each other, none of them understood what Snape was saying here, but they could clearly hear the disrespect towards Voldemort in Snape's tone.
Their faces darkened, and everyone raised their wands at Snape.
It's not that they are all loyal to the current Voldemort, but that no one can guarantee whether the teammates around them are really loyal. If someone reports such a thing to Voldemort after returning later, they will not die afterwards , will definitely peel off the skin.
"The master naturally has his own ideas about what he wants you to do. You should talk to him about these things after you see him."
Mulciber has lost his patience. Now he just wants to catch Snape back and bring Voldemort back to life. Whether he is rewarded or not is the next thing, as long as he doesn't get punished.
However, just as he finished speaking and was about to direct the people around him to do something, at some point, at the entrance of the shed, a group of people blocked the sunlight coming in from outside the shed.
Mulciber and the others turned their heads in horror, but when they saw who was coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it's Rufis. You found it based on the apparition surveillance? Don't worry, Snape is under our control."
There were three people coming. They were wearing the same black robes as Mulciber and the others. They were obviously members of the Death Eaters, so after seeing them, Mulciber and the others were not much on guard.
"That's great, let's take him back right away!"
Mulciber and the others didn't have any doubts about this, they turned around unpreparedly, and were about to use the Stunning Curse on Snape, and then took him back to where Voldemort was to return.
Three uniform incantations sounded suddenly!
"Avada Kedavra!" ×3
The five of Mulciber didn't have any psychological preparations at all. In the sudden green light, the eyes of the three of them lost the brilliance of life in the next instant, and even at the last moment before they died, their faces were still pale. He gave Snape a reassuring smile.
The remaining two Death Eaters watched their companions fall to the ground. They obviously hadn't realized what happened. When they were about to turn their heads to look at Rufes and the others in a daze, they didn't stop for a moment. Two more death curses sounded at the same time!
These five Death Eaters didn't have the slightest time to react to the backstab of their allies. None of them thought that colleagues who had always been in the same class and shared common interests would do it without saying a word.
Snape watched the despicable backstab with indifferent eyes, and said indifferently.
"Just go straight to death like this? There are not many Death Eaters, and the elites die one by one. If we really want to kill all these people, how many purebloods in the British magic world will be able to use them?" Woolen cloth?"
Rufis had a disconcerted expression on his face when he heard Snape's words.
"You also know that there are not many elites among us, so do you think Mulciber and the others deserve to be called elites? These weeds have no loyalty to their masters at all. What is the difference between being dead and alive? This time It is a good thing that we can have a big reshuffle internally, there are too many waste corpses."
Snape's voice was still flat.
"Not loyal to the master? Then what master are you asking for, which master should they be loyal to?"
Hearing this question, the faces of the three of Rufes became cold, and they stared at Snape.
"Don't pretend to be confused, Severus, I thought you had figured out the situation and were just waiting for us to come to you."
"I don't think I'm pretending to be confused." Snape said calmly, "Which master you are representing, at least you have to show some proof. To a certain extent, it should be done in person.”
"You are too presumptuous!"
Rufis' face didn't look like it was put on on purpose, he looked like he was really angry at Snape's disrespectful remarks.
But he didn't intend to do this to Snape, because he could see that Snape was actually waiting for them, otherwise he wouldn't have tried his best to escape from Dumbledore and return to England In the future, he is unwilling to contact the current Voldemort.
Otherwise, who is he waiting for?
Of course it is only possible that they are waiting for their real masters!
As the first batch of Death Eaters who had contacted Voldemort II, Rufes just sneered at the "great gentleman" today.
The object of his true allegiance is to the man who can truly lead the pure blood to glory, not the madman who is currently preparing to impose his own tyranny on the entire British wizarding world.
Now Snape's various strange behaviors are naturally considered by him to be like-minded people who have the same ideas as himself. Voldemort's changes before and after the Triwizard Tournament are obvious, and anyone with a little bit of brains can see it. This huge contrast is simply a different person.
As subordinates, servants, Rufes and the others are not qualified to understand what happened to their master, but they can choose who they want to be loyal to.
As a pure-blood with good vision, Rufes naturally only gave his all loyalty to the master who had ruled them for more than ten years.
During this period of time, they have contacted many fellow Death Eaters who were also tortured by the current Voldemort 1, intending to re-select some servants who are loyal to the real master.
Snape was obviously also the most important one. After learning of the news that he had fled back to England, Voldemort II contacted Rufes and the others, asking them to find an opportunity to contact Snape and send him Bring it back safely.
It is precisely because of this that Rufes and the others were actually following Jon and Lily at the beginning, because the Death Eaters' channel is their own, and once they find out, they can't hide it from them.
And now as long as they target Jon, it means locking up all targets that might find Snape.
It’s just that they were exposed early yesterday morning. I don’t know when they lost the target about Jon and Lily, just when Rufis was trying to find Jon and the others all over the city.
The Death Eaters made a discovery first.
This is of course a good thing for Rufis and the others, which means that Snape can be included more easily.
As for Snape's request for identity verification, Voldemort II seemed to have considered this matter long before he asked them to come to Snape.
Although Rufes was full of reluctance, he still took out a small glass bottle from the pocket of his robe, which contained half a bottle of light golden gravel.
He threw the bottle of grit to Snape.
"The master asked me to bring it to you, and he asked me to tell you that no one can replace your position."
Snape took the bottle of gravel that looked faintly golden, and those small golden particles seemed to be reflected in those once empty eyes.
“He always thought I was letting go.”
Out of nowhere, he suddenly said such a sentence.
"Over the years, I have behaved more and more rudely, insultingly, and even willing to use the death curse on Lily, making him think that I really don't care about such a woman of low blood, just like what he once said to me Well, there are people in this world who are much better than her. But in fact, I really want to tell him in person that he guessed wrong. "
An extremely bad premonition suddenly rose in Rufis' heart. They stared at Snape, clenched the wands in their hands, and when they were considering whether to do it directly, Snape's faint voice sounded again.
"The things have been obtained, when are you going to watch the show?"
