"The children who were used as test subjects escaped," Adam continued.
"After the project was halted, they were originally intended to be divided up as secret assets by the Warsaw Supreme Council and the Supreme Soviet."
"But one researcher defected. She had become too attached to the test subjects, identifying with them as a mother and teacher, which made it impossible for her to stand by and watch the children face a foreseeable tragic future."
"She let a significant number of children escape and then disappeared without a trace."
Adam's eyes scanned the cold walls: "But it seems they came back here later, perhaps because of their blind spot, which prevented their pursuers from ever thinking of coming back for a second."
"So, the wizards the old man found were the runaway children?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"But this place isn't exactly safe, is it? How did they manage to confront the vampires?"
"Go listen and you'll find out." Grindelwald pointed ahead into the passage, where a spiral staircase led downwards, and faint flames could be seen rising from it.
Upon arriving here, the person who had been being tracked lowered his guard and walked down the stairs with a clear stride, attracting the attention of those below.
"Zorian, you're back!"
The speaker was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, and was one of the older members of the group. She stood in the darkness, far from the campfire.
The voice was cold, but you could hear the concern in it.
"Were you being followed?" asked another boy, who looked about the same age as Krum.
At this point, everyone gathered around, including Hermione and the others who had been following them, making a total of six people.
"Veles," the tall, thin figure murmured as he removed his cloak.
A blurry shadow left him, and his appearance changed rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye from a tall, thin, and fierce black man into a typical Slavic youth.
"Is that a Patronus? No, it looks more like a partial application of human shapeshifting." Hermione and her two companions also came downstairs and stood openly in the open space, but no one could spot them.
Even though they were both wizards and their magic was not weak, they were still too inexperienced compared to these two powerful wizards.
"Don't worry, Veles has been keeping an eye on things for me the whole time. No one can escape the eyes of the God of Transformation," said the young man named Zorian.
"I compared prices at several stores before buying these weapons. There are too many scammers selling inferior goods as superior ones." He complained as he opened the box, which was neatly filled with all kinds of guns and ammunition, and even hand grenades.
"The God of Transformation? He's talking about Veles?" Hermione was a little confused. She also had a magic sword she took from the old man's vault, called the Veles Spellbreaker.
There are no gods in this world. If there were, they would have been able to find them.
"It's a mythical species," Adam explained.
"In Experiment 116, each subject will create their own mythical species. They use religious myths and folk tales as a blueprint, extract the power from their hearts, and use the mythical species to exert their power."
"No wonder it looks like a guardian deity, but its power takes many forms," Grindelwald murmured.
Adam continued retrieving information: "Zorian, full name Zorian Cernovol, Slavic descent, 21 years old, name means dawn."
The Night Conqueror, primarily indoctrinated with Slavic mythology, later gave birth to the mythical species Veles. Their strengths lie in combat, transformation, and concealment. They are one of the seven experimental subjects who defected.
He then looked at the first woman who had spoken: "We're comparing data. Blanislava Moranova, Slavic, 20 years old."
The name signifies the glory of the protector, a tribute to the goddess of winter and rebirth, and primarily reflects Slavic mythology. Later, the mythical species Morana was born.
Specializing in frost, death curses, and infiltration operations, she is one of the seven defecting test subjects.
Watching the children huddled together, picking through the armory, Hermione asked, "Were their names given to them to shape their personalities?"
Adam nodded: "Each test subject corresponds to a myth and a certain characteristic, in order to make them more inclined to form a mythological species."
He pointed to the children of different ages, and Hermione then noticed that each of them had a hardcover book secured with a chain around their waist.
"That thing that looks like a magic book is actually their diary."
"In the experiment, they were required to record their thoughts every day, striving to be as close as possible to the required mental and emotional state. Only truly qualified experimental subjects could create a stable mythical species."
"And what about those that don't meet the standards?" the witch couldn't help but ask.
"Dead," Adam said indifferently.
"Or it may deteriorate into silence."
Hermione and Grindelwald realized at the same time, yes, a wizard child who is suppressed to the extreme will give birth to a dark silence from within him, and naturally the same is true for these children whose spirits are tormented to the point of collapse.
"They've developed a controllable Obscurus, haven't they?" Grindelwald said meaningfully, stroking his chin as he looked at the six children.
In his eyes, those so-called mythical creatures were nothing more than versatile and controllable Obscurus.
Although these children cannot cast spells normally and can only use the various abilities possessed by their own mythical species, they are clearly all extremely outstanding.
In Hogwarts and Durmstrang, how many students can perform partial body transformation, turning themselves into the likeness of other people?
How can it maintain stable outdoor activities for several hours?
"Great! With these weapons, we can rescue Rice!" the boy who looked like Krum exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes—" Moranova hesitated for a moment.
Looking at the two youngest of the six, they were probably only 10 years old, even more immature than first-year students.
"Levi and Metek are too young. They probably can't even withstand the recoil of a gun. Let them stay here and we'll go rescue Rice."
'
"Their companions were captured by vampires?" Hermione asked Grindelwald, turning to him.
Since we learned beforehand that the plan was to attack the vampire's lair, it's clear that Rice was captured and taken there.
The Dark Lord nodded, then looked at Adam: "Hey, keep comparing the data! I need to know what the mythological species of these kids are!"
Clearly, he had been intrigued.
Adam turned to look at the boy who looked like Krum: "Bojan Vukovic, 17 years old, Serbian, whose name means 'fighter' or 'son of the wolf.' He was mainly indoctrinated with Serbian folklore and later gave birth to the mythical creature Bukavac. He is skilled in frontal combat, siege warfare, and controlling wild beasts. He is one of the seven experimental subjects who defected."
"Why are most of them Slavs?" Hermione asked, somewhat puzzled.
"After all, the Soviets could only find a limited number of races in Warsaw," Grindelwald thought for a moment.
"Let's look at the others."
