Kapitel 225: Hunting U-Men (I)...

[POV Reo]

"Jean, how are you feeling?" I asked Jean carefully in a soothing voice when her sobs finally stopped. Jean kept crying for several minutes while hugging me… well, I guess, it must be a normal reaction for people when they kill for the first time…

There is a reason I used the term 'normal' here, I never felt anything after killing, Nemuri went around the bend when she found that these worlds are rotten and didn't mind killing, and Rumi was the only one who could relate anything to Jean. Dora will be useless in this department because even after she was an Auror, her hands were clean. Fleur, Momo, and Luna were similar cases…

"I am quite alright now" Jean whispered in a low voice but didn't leave my embrace. I could hear Nemuri snickering from the back.

After a few more minutes, Jean finally left my embrace while blushing. I conjured a packet of napkins and handed them to Jean and cast a scourgify on my shirt to get it clean.

"Um… sorry for making a mess" Jean said meekly while wiping her face, she spoke while gesturing towards my shirt.

"It wasn't a problem… it's already clean" I said while gesturing towards the shirt. Once again I heard Nemuri Snickering from behind me… a tick mark appeared on my head.

"Will you stop that!" unable to hold back I yelled at Nemuri. That didn't have the desired effect as this time she started to giggle perversely and Fleur also joined her but she was simply giggling. Jean blushed hard when she heard their giggling…

"I am really sorry, I shouldn't have done that!" Jean exclaimed and tried to apologize to Fleur and Nemuri. Even though I was not reading their mind I could clearly tell why Jean was apologizing… she felt that Fleur and Nemuri were angry about the fact that she hugged me and broke down.

"Oh pish! We don't mind at all… I don't mind sharing him with you" Nemuri said with a perverted grin on her face. Jean blushed up a storm and started to sputter in embarrassment.

"Yes, I also approve of you" Fleur said in a cheering tone. It almost felt like Fleur was also encouraging Jean to make advances on me. But the main party… 'I' would have appreciated if my own girls weren't trying to share me with other girls without my permission… it's like I own a self-growing harem.

"*cough*" with a fake cough I brought everyone out of the amorous atmosphere. "I would appreciate it if my feelings are also considered next time" I said to Nemuri and Fleur who didn't look like they were feeling bad… in fact, they were looking pretty proud.

Jean kept blushing and kept staring at the floor but didn't say anything. "So, are we going to drop them back on the island or take them with us?" Nemuri's question once again changed the atmosphere.

"I think it would be better if you two return to the island… it's not that I think that you two are weak or something. I just think you two are not ready to see all that stuff" I started to speak but when I saw that Fleur and Jean are going to protest I decided to explain while giving them some minor details.

"No, I won't be going back. You will be taking me with you… I don't want to hide behind anyone anymore" Fleur said with a determined look on her face. Eh… this isn't a matter of hiding behind anyone, I just want to protect their innocence.

"I completely agree with Fleur, I also want to join your mission" Jean said with a straight face. Her blush was completely gone now… instead, I could see a fire burning in her eyes.

I was about to deny them again, it is good that they have the determination but I don't think we will find something nice in those places and what we found in the last base was quite disturbing. But before I deny them, Nemuri decided to speak up her mind…

"I think we should take them. Yes, I agree with you that they shouldn't see what is happening in those places but I think they need to see this… to understand how cruel people can be" Nemuri said, just as I said, I wasn't thrilled with this but what Nemuri said makes a lot of sense. Hah…! I released a huge sigh and nodded my head. Both Fleur and Jean immediately smiled but I knew very well that the smile won't be on their faces for long.

"You know I have the list… where should we visit first?" Nemuri asked me, I thought for a few seconds before coming to a decision.

"Let's check out Moscow first" I said to which everyone nodded their head. Now, that we have dealt with Charles we decided to leave. I decided to leave the body as a gift for whoever that fool was working with… honestly, his memories could have been useful for me but I didn't want to gain the Phoenix Force's ire… it was clear that Charles was severely injured, at least mentally. He never tried to use his powers when we were in there… which proved that his mind was injured.

And I don't know what kind of effect Legilimency would have on him when he was like this now. He could have died if I had used Legilimency on him… that would have been bad.

We walked out of the room but I decided to keep the wards intact… with that in place, his body won't be found for a few days. Without getting bothered for a single time we arrived in the parking lot. "Send your car back to Knox, we will teleport to Moscow directly from here" I said to Nemuri who stubbornly shook her head.

"Nope, not happening, I got to drive this baby after so many days. There is no way in hell that I am going to simply teleport it back to Knox" Nemuri protested vehemently. Looks like Nemuri had already made up her mind and it was clear that she was going to throw a tantrum if I argued with her.

All of us entered the car and we quickly drove out of the hospital, Nemuri took her sweet time to reach Knox and she looked proud that she wasted so much time. I kept giving her the stink eye. After arriving at Knox, Nemuri made a portkey to Moscow, we felt a familiar tug around our navel and all four of us were whisked away from Knox and the next second we found ourselves in a dark alley.

We walked out of the alley and Nemuri hailed a cab, I was slightly surprised when I heard Nemuri speaking fluent Russian with the cab driver. She must have used some kind of magic… after all, Nemuri isn't stupid and when she was in Hogwarts she had enchanted those bracelets to protect our mind and she also made her own version of unforgivables… though I am quite sure that she never got a chance to use them.

She was intelligent but she didn't invest her time in research and studies like Momo, instead, she spent her time with her porn collection and messing around the world. Nemuri was already using Imperius on the driver to get the information she was asking him. After getting some information from him Nemuri gave him some US bills and send the poor guy on his merry way.

"I have got the location from him, I can directly Apparate there" Nemuri said and I agreed. As soon as I agreed she grabbed Fleur's hand and disappeared with a crack. Like before I extended my hand towards Jean who didn't blush this time. She took my hand and both of us disappeared with another crack and appeared in front of a rundown building.

"Why do bad guys always choose a place like this… my shoes will be ruined" Fleur whined looking at the building. The three of us didn't know what to say after we heard her. It was clear that fashion was much more important to her than the other things…

"I think we are late… the bad guys are already gone it seems" I said pointing towards the next street, the whole place was crawling with police officers. I could also feel several life signs inside the building but everything was completely silent except for the reporters and police officers.

"So, what now?" Nemuri asked in whispers.

"We will sneak in the building and look around, even though we are late we could still find something inside" I said and the girls agreed. I cast a notice-me-not and disillusionment charm on Jean and then on myself. Only because Jean had the power of the Phoenix Force she was able to feel us… so, we won't be having a problem maneuvering inside the building. We entered the building without any problem and found several bodies were kept there wrapped in body bags.

There were several other bags with organs inside them, I could already notice that Jean and Fleur were already sick but since they didn't say anything I decided to continue moving inside…

Soon, we found that the place was mostly empty. Only some simple pieces of equipment were left behind… these pieces of equipment were easily available in the market. It was quite clear that they ran away in a hurry and left these pieces of equipment here. The important types of equipment were taken by them… since they left in hurry they also left the organs and bodies. I used Legilimency on the person in charge and found that this place was reported in the afternoon by a drunkard.

"Looks like they are on the run" Nemuri said in a sing-song voice after we walked out of the building finding that there was nothing left in there for our use.

"Don't be callous! What we saw in there is… completely evil!" Fleur said reprimanding Nemuri, she just gave Fleur an annoyed look.

"Hehe! You haven't even seen the worse, yet. See that was the reason Reo didn't want you two to come. If you still want to come with us then be ready to see such scenes" Nemuri spoke in a serious tone, no traces of her usual attitude or personality could be found in her voice.

"Nemuri's right! Decide if you still want to come with us or not" I also spoke looking at both Fleur and Jean in a no-nonsense tone…
