Hearing this familiar "scolding," everyone in the ward—except for Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Lynn lying on the bed—couldn't help but shudder.
Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Snape helplessly. He clearly wanted to help, yet he insisted on speaking like that; this child Severus... Sensing Professor McGonagall's gaze, Professor Snape remained unmoved, his lips tightly pursed as he looked at Lynn on the bed.
With Lynn's condition stabilized, except for one doctor who stayed behind to keep watch, the other medical staff prepared to hurry back to work after a brief rest.
Although it was the middle of the night and there weren't many people, they still had to be on duty!
However, before they could even reach the door, Lynn on the bed twitched violently, causing the hospital bed to clang loudly.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick simultaneously took a step back, their wands already in their hands.
Professor Snape quickly stepped forward to stand beside them, turning to the medical staff at the same time. "Out! Everyone out! Now!"
The medical staff reacted quickly and turned to leave, however... Bang!
With a loud crash, the ward door slammed shut instantly. No matter how hard they pulled, it wouldn't open.
"The door won't open..." the nurse said tremulously, her eyes fixed on Lynn on the bed in shock.
This young girl had looked so critical just a moment ago; what was happening now?
"Everyone stay back, don't come over," Professor McGonagall warned over her shoulder, then slowly moved in front of them with Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape, shielding the medical staff behind them.
What was currently happening to Lynn was not within the expertise of these medical staff, nor did they have the ability to deal with it.
In the eyes of the three Professors, they could clearly feel the magic within Lynn churning incessantly. Moreover, the amount of magic—already more terrifying than that of her peers or even adult wizards—was growing at a geometric rate.
"Ugh..."
Lynn's body on the bed arched slightly upward.
Blurred images flashed through her mind one after another, accompanied by several indistinct voices.
In a brightly lit underground laboratory, over a dozen children whose faces were obscured and who were at most fifteen or sixteen years old were constantly moving about, operating equipment.
"How much longer... until total completion?" a boy's voice asked.
"At least five minutes... we still need to... before we can..." a girl's voice answered him with incredible calm.
"The ones outside... are already here. We'll go... time."
The voices of the dozen or so children were intermittent, like a radio with a poor connection.
Then the scene flashed; several of the children walked out of the underground laboratory, closing the heavy door.
When the image appeared again, only their corpses remained on the ground, along with the blown-open door of the underground laboratory.
The other children with obscured faces stood in a row, holding each other's hands, their faces showing no fear and even bearing smiles.
"We succe... you must..."
"Deformed... blinded by greed... will never under... childhood... power."
A series of gunshots rang out, and large-caliber bullets flew straight toward them as they held hands.
For the first time, Lynn's face showed the truest, most terrifying hatred.
"Ah!!!"
She shrieked, roaring and twisting her body in convulsions on the bed. Her previously hoarse throat and pained body were no obstacle under the support of her geometrically increasing magic.
All the objects in the ward began to shake violently. The three Professors exchanged a glance and simultaneously cast Shield Charms in front of them.
Sure enough, in the next instant, every object except for the bed Lynn was lying on rose into the air, spinning incessantly.
Even more intense, angry roars continued to erupt from Lynn's mouth.
Having never roared like this before, it was as if she were trying to snap her own ribs with a single shout, her chest constantly exerting force.
Within seconds, the entire ward began to tremble, followed by the entire St Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Everyone still in the hospital instinctively grabbed onto nearby fixed objects, not understanding what was happening.
"Roar!"
With a roar like a wild beast, Lynn raised both hands and slammed them down hard on the bed.
The entire St Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries shuddered heavily for a second.
Lynn's internal magic surged in an instant; in the eyes of the Wizards, she now looked like a sun.
Including Professor McGonagall and the other two, everyone in the ward closed their eyes and turned their heads away, but the intense light still kept piercing their eyes.
It stung their eyes with pain. Rumble... rumble... a massive sound of the earth shaking rang out, and the silent night of London was awakened by this huge rumbling.
People who were startled awake ran out of their homes in panic, looking at everything shaking around them and shouting that there was an earthquake, while constantly running toward open areas.
Amidst Lynn's roars and venting, the entirety of London began to shake in this dark night.
At the same time, in different places: in the massive Oak Library, a gentle elder sister's sudden fury blurred the entire sky... in the deep forest, a girl bent on death stopped her steps toward the lake, turned, and walked toward the small wooden cabin outside the forest, the darkness in her eyes deepening...
