After the large-scale demonstration, everyone's attention was focused on the change of government ministers and the specific cause of the fire.
The latest official statement indicates that an intelligence agent from the Northern Bear, carrying a tactical nuclear crate, was killed by terrorists while attempting to steal intelligence at a swimming pool. The crate was also taken from him, and the terrorists subsequently launched a suicide attack.
Because the story was so outrageous, coupled with the strong resistance in society at the time to the ideology, political system, and socio-economic system of the Northern Bear, people naturally accepted this explanation and responded to the announcement's call to avoid going to District 20 for a short period of time to avoid radiation.
The announcement also stated at the end: "For the safety of the people in the city, the government has spent a huge sum of money to seal off the 'radiation zone'."
On television, you can see the president's apology and the resignations of several ministers.
And so the march came to an end.
All that remains is the performance requirement for each public department to carry out "safety campaigns".
The wizarding world.
The magic wizards attended classes day after day.
One night, people who were completely shrouded in black robes and moved silently entered the homes of several of the parties involved.
While Martin and the others were asleep at home, these people secretly did unspeakable things.
Then, some top-secret videos appeared on the wizarding world's shelves, spreading at an alarming rate, faster than some forbidden materials could be disseminated.
While still lying in the school infirmary, Ryan was completely bewildered when he saw the top-secret video that Penelope handed to him.
The footage details the massive explosion as seen from Martin's perspective, and the voices of Ryan and the others are clearly audible.
"What's going on?"
He initially felt he had everything under control, but after seeing the video, he was at a loss. What did those wizards who were pulling strings behind the scenes mean by releasing this kind of thing? Could it be that they wanted to imitate the protests and demonstrations of ordinary people, expose this matter, stir up public opinion, and force the Ministry of Magic to react?
However, simply showing this one clip isn't enough. We need to explain the whole story of why these people were captured, and emphasize that the magic wizards brought it upon themselves.
Otherwise, the public opinion that is stirred up will only lean towards Muggles harming wizards, and then the pillars of the wizarding world will go to rescue the wizards, which will only make his reputation even better!
"Penelope, did you see any other similar images in Hogsmeade?"
Penelope shook her head. She discovered that the contraband had been led into a small shop by a few young wizards who were only in their third year. The shop didn't even have a sign. After finding the contents, she carefully searched through the shop to confirm that it only contained this one item.
"That's really strange. What does this person mean? Isn't he handing me a knife?"
Ryan had anticipated that those people might still be persistent after testing Martin and the others' memories, and he had prepared countermeasures, but he never expected them to play like this.
"What happened?" Penelope asked, sitting down next to Ryan.
Ryan recounted everything that had happened in the past few days to Penelope, and then asked, "I still don't understand what this means. In your opinion, what purpose does the person behind this serve?"
"I think your analysis is correct. If the person behind this wants to make a fuss about this, then they must expose the magic wizards' violation of the secrecy law before taking further action." Penelope analyzed for a long time and also found this approach strange; it was practically handing points to someone directly.
In this way, Ryan doesn't need to do anything. A conscientious magic wizard will take care of everything, and even a heartless one knows what the best course of action is in the face of such a problem.
Because of Ryan's backing, these people have someone to protect them; without Ryan's backing, they are like fish on a chopping block. This is very detrimental to Mr. Hawke's plan to expand his power across the two realms.
Therefore, if Martin and others simply say a few words or publish a statement in a mainstream newspaper claiming that they are being persecuted by Muggles and that the two prestigious schools, Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, are doing their best to help, the storm will not only be quelled, but the reputations of Beauxbatons, Hogwarts, and Lane will be further enhanced, and the entire wizarding world will know that a powerful wizard has appeared.
All the magic wizards will know their creator, who is willing to protect them and possesses great power to do so.
"Perhaps the person who came up with this idea wanted to use this scene to generate attention first. Such powerful magic, such destructive magic that can overturn the wizarding worldview, is enough to attract the attention of all wizards and make this the talk of the town for a while—"
She found the most reasonable explanation.
Ryan agreed with Penelope's most likely explanation, but scoffed at it: "Time is of the essence. Operating separately leaves obvious flaws. If what you say is true, then the person who made the move was clearly hesitant. He only knew that this method would work in the ordinary world, but he was worried that his methods would not succeed, so he resorted to this inferior strategy."
"Could it be a trap?" Penelope worried that someone had deliberately left obvious flaws, which were actually hidden traps.
A trap, what kind of trap would be set here? — Ryan tapped his fingers on the sheets.
It is known that the person behind this is trying to use secrecy laws to put pressure on him.
My goal is to neutralize my opponent's moves.
"Whatever the trap, I'll just make the first move!" he said. "Wait a minute. Let me contact Martin."
He picked up the communicator to contact Martin, told him what to do next, and then hung up.
"How so?"
"I told Martin to go to Mrs. Maxim and ask her to provide material for a news report at the Gargoyle Howl newspaper. Then I told him to have the newspaper's reporter go to the Magisterium Academy to gather evidence."
Ryan said, "Strike first, and sway public opinion to our side."
"Is Martin credible?"
"Of all the captured magic wizards, he's the only one I can trust. But don't worry, Hawke, who thinks he's smart, may not be as smart as he thinks, but he has the basic ability to judge situations. After seeing what's going on, he won't be thinking about how to get rid of me anytime soon; he'll only seek my protection. So he'll definitely speak well to the reporters."
Ryan took an apple from the fruit basket and was about to touch it with his finger when he awkwardly remembered that he couldn't use magic and couldn't make the apple peel off by itself.
"Let me do it." Penelope didn't take the apple from Ryan's hand, but instead took out her wand from her pocket and tapped it. The apple peel peeled off in regular circles, as if an invisible knife was slicing it.
As an outstanding person, Ryan never took advantage of his friends. He reached out and handed Penelope the peeled apple in his hand: "This is for you."
Penelope accepted the peeled apple without any surprise, her hair falling down to cover half her face, carrying a delicate fragrance.
At this moment, Harry with dark circles under his eyes, who claimed to have rushed over to visit Senior Ryan after hearing that he was injured, quietly and secretly pulled his foot back from the door of the school infirmary and hid outside the door, not daring to breathe.
