Chapter 230 (Bonus Chapter): Nighttime Infiltration of the Ministry of Magic
Sean had already begun to plan how to get his hands on that confidential document.
After all, he couldn't just stand by and watch his plans go to waste because of inaction.
At night, all was quiet.
The bright moonlight, like silver silk, gently and softly spilled onto the Ministry of Magic building.
The moonlight pierced through the clouds and across the night sky, clearly outlining the silhouette of the Ministry of Magic building. The windows of the building shimmered faintly in the moonlight.
The Ministry of Magic, which should have been immersed in tranquility, was instead greeted by an uninvited guest.
That's right, it's Sean.
He donned an invisibility cloak, beneath which he wore a tight-fitting black robe, his face covered with his usual black mask, revealing only his eyes. He cautiously moved through the shadows of the Ministry of Magic building, like a wisp of black smoke, silent and unnoticed.
Sean was filled with tension and anticipation; he knew this operation was crucial to his entire plan.
He gripped his wand tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation that might arise.
Sean quietly entered the Ministry of Magic building, taking each step with extreme caution, afraid of making any noise. His sharp eyes scanned his surroundings, observing every detail to ensure that he did not overlook any potential risks.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, he swiftly and nimbly slipped inside, silently counting down the floor to his destination.
The elevator doors closed again, isolating him from the outside world.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Sean shot out like an arrow.
well.
There was no one there, and nothing unexpected happened.
Everything seems to be going so smoothly today.
It was several seconds later when Sean stood in the Auror's office.
At this moment, he was thinking about how to pry open the lock on the Auror's office cabinet and put it back exactly as it was.
Is it a lock-unlocking spell?
Now that we've come this far, we should try every possible method, no matter what.
If all else fails, he's still a man with a cheat code.
Deep Blue, oh no, the cheat system isn't just for show.
Sean raised his right arm, held up his wand, aimed it at the lock, and thought to himself, "Alohomora open."
The tip of the wand trembled slightly, accompanied by a subtle yet clearly audible "click," and the clasp opened as if there had never been any obstruction.
Sean secretly rejoiced that the unlocking spell had been used perfectly, unlocking the lock without leaving any trace, which was exactly the effect he wanted.
He gently pushed open the cabinet door, inside which were stored all sorts of documents and several rather mysterious magical items.
Time is of the essence. Sean must quickly find that crucial document and leave as if nothing ever happened.
He carefully flipped through the documents, trying not to move them so as not to be noticed.
A few minutes later, his fingers finally touched the document he had seen during the day, which was the purpose of his trip.
Just as he was about to check, a sound suddenly came from outside.
It sounded like... something had fallen to the ground.
"Who!" he hissed in a low voice.
The sounds outside seemed to pause for a moment because of Sean's low shout, and then a series of faint but hurried footsteps gradually faded away, as if they were deliberately avoiding something.
Alarm bells rang in Sean's mind. He quickly made a decision: now was not the time to check the documents; he had to ensure his own safety first.
He put the document back exactly where it was, then magically locked it. The latch closed silently again, as if nothing had ever happened.
Then, using his invisibility skills, Sean moved silently to the office door and peered out through the crack in the door.
The corridor was deserted, with only the echo of footsteps still trembling slightly in the air.
No.
I have to catch up with that person.
Let him experience the power of the Forgetfulness Curse.
Otherwise, if this gets out, it might alert the enemy.
Moreover, there were only five people in the Auror office that morning, including Tonks.
Sean pondered the situation and decided to act immediately.
He gently pushed open the door and walked quickly and cautiously down the corridor, beginning to trace the direction of the footsteps.
The footsteps seemed to be moving towards the elevator, so Sean quickened his pace, trying not to let his footsteps give away his location.
He walked through several corridors and finally arrived at the elevator door. He saw the floor indicator light on another elevator rapidly descending before stopping on the second-to-last floor of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries.
Sean quickly boarded another elevator, pressed the button, and pondered how to enter the Department of Mysteries without being detected.

The elevator's floor indicator light flickered slowly, accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, and Sean's heart jumped into his throat.
He stared intently at the constantly changing numbers.

The floor indicator lights continued to flash, and Sean had already quietly gripped his wand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation that might arise.
The numbers jumped again, which meant he was getting closer to his target floor.
The elevator doors were about to open. Sean took a deep breath and made his final preparations.
It's now!
The moment the elevator doors opened, Sean stepped out, looking around for any suspicious figures.
The magic agency was even darker at night than during the day, and the air was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Wait, how come... no one's here?
Someone must have seen the elevator come down with their own eyes.
And there was no pause in between.
Just then, a sound of a door being opened came from the entrance room.
A look of joy appeared on Sean's face. He immediately got up and moved toward the entrance room.
As he entered the entrance room, one of the twelve doors was slowly closing.
Sean was startled.
If it's closed, there won't be anyone to take him inside this time.
So he practically sprinted toward the slowly closing door.
At the last moment, Sean grabbed the door with his hands.
He practically tumbled and crawled into the back of the door.
But... why is this a time chamber?
It's completely different from when he came last time.
He suddenly remembered that Vika seemed to have told him that the entire Department of Mysteries was structured in a circle.
If the Time Chamber is both the beginning and the end, then it's not so strange.
Sean moved cautiously through the main hall of the Time Chamber, trying to find the person who had just entered.
He suddenly heard someone speaking.
Following the sound, he saw the office door of the white-haired loli, the head of the Mysterious Affairs Department whom he had previously handed over documents to, was ajar, with light streaming through the crack.
