"Wow!" K couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "I've been to New York so many times, and I never thought that there was such a bustling place hidden under Fifth Avenue." ”

"New York is not only the economic center of the Muggle world, but also the economic center of the wizarding world, and only the United States, a young country that claims to be free and democratic, can allow the independent elements of various peoples to come and go at will, which is its success, but also the source of failure. A country that has no roots of its own and is completely supported by gold coins is the most vulnerable to threats and the most vulnerable to destruction. Catherine said calmly as she leaned on the railing, with neither envy nor disappointment in her eyes.

"Understood, like an orphan wandering the streets with a gold ingot." K put his arm around Harry and pinched his cheek hard, "It's better to leave it to the U.S. government to worry about, our purpose today is to do some shopping." Walk! Harry, I'm in a group with you, and you two will go on your honeymoon alone! ”

"Don't use Harry as an ATM, he doesn't have much change, it's three thousand Galleons, and a shopping list." Catherine tossed a bag and a roll of parchment into K's arms, "Hungry and sleepy to figure it out on her own." Dobby, you have to stay by Harry's side, you can't let strangers talk to him casually, K will take care of the rest, and 72 hours later, we meet at McDonald's opposite. ”

You heard it right, across the street from the exit of the New York branch of the U.S. Ministry of Magic to Fifth Avenue is floating a 30-foot-tall M-shaped sign that spews fireworks, and to its right, a 40-foot-tall white-haired old man is holding a huge chicken leg and swaying around, forcing all passing "pedestrians" to dodge in all directions.

This is the United States, a capitalist country that offers goods with both hands as long as the buyer needs it, and can abandon principles as long as there is interest.

In today's era of peace, this idea has brought it great success, created for it the status of world hegemon, so the eyes of the whole world are focused here, the resources of the world are gathered here, the wealth of the world is also flowing here, and as for the potential threat, everyone closes their eyes and pretends not to see it, as now.

"Pound! Pound! Pound! "As they were about to split up, suddenly three explosions came from the south, followed by a series of screams.

"What's going on?" Harry, Dobby, and K immediately leaned on the railing to look around, but the other two were not moved, Snape didn't even look up, still looking at the shopping list in his hand, Catherine looked up, but only glanced at it, said in a very calm tone, and then lowered her head to continue looking at the map.

"It's just a terrorist attack, nothing surprising."

"Terrorist attack-" The three heads lying on the railing immediately looked over, their faces full of shock and disbelief, but fortunately Catherine didn't keep them confused for longer.

"This is the area with the highest crime rate in the United States, with an average of one terrorist attack every three days, one major accident a day, and as for homicide, robbery, and theft, it can be seen everywhere, so it is a necessary instinct to protect yourself anytime and anywhere, and as for the safety of other people, there are naturally police to deal with it." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a radio sound.

"Tourists, please stay in the railing for the time being, get out of the way of the main passage, avoid accidental injury, and disturb your interest, please forgive me."

There was a boo sound, and then all the tourists floating in the air avoided the buildings on both sides, but the goods were still transported, and the shopping was still shopping, and only those who arrived for the first time continued to look at the source of the chaos.

"Attention units! Attention units! The suspect was carrying three compression explosive bombs and was heading northeast at a speed of 70 km/h. ”

"The police are lazy again, and they actually let people bring in such dangerous things." Before the words of the radio could be heard, a swearing clerk rushed out of the shop behind Catherine and them.

As soon as he left the store, he jumped up and slammed it a red button under his sign, and a light curtain immediately lit up on the railing, and the light curtains connected together, finally forming two walls of light, completely protecting the buildings on both sides.

"You've only been here for a year, and you haven't seen many big scenes, and when you stay here for a long time, you will know that this is pediatrics at all." A middle-aged man in a white robe walked out slowly, and said to his clerk with a smile, "What impressed me the most was the one thirty-one years ago, I don't know that that fool attracted an imperial octopus, that guy has a tentacle forty or fifty meters long, and the next whip smashed hundreds of shops, and finally the storefronts on the North Street side were completely destroyed, and almost no one survived the aquarium that came to do business." ”

"White boy, you haven't lived long enough, the old man has seen the emperor octopus here three times in his life." An old man in a green robe sitting cross-legged near the railing said as he knocked on a cigarette stick.

"It turned out to be a turtle elder!" As soon as the white-robed middle-aged man looked over, he immediately stumbled over, half-bent down in front of the green-robed old man and asked earnestly in Chinese, "Why is your old man free to come over today?" I haven't seen you old for three years, are you still strong? ”

"Can't die! Just a sleep. As soon as I got up to bask in the sun, I saw a few stupid babies running here to make trouble. But compared to the scene when Fifth Avenue appeared, the old man known as "Turtle Lao" lazily put the cigarette stick back in his mouth, slowly exhaled the smoke ring, and recalled with his eyes closed, "It's just an itch in the boots, and those imperial octopuses are young people fighting." ”

"Elder Turtle, do you have time to tell us about that big scene?" The white-robed middle-aged man's waist was a little lower, and his clerk nodded his head like a drum, and those nearby who could understand Chinese immediately surrounded him, and those who did not understand also curiously approached a few steps.

"I'm in a good mood today, old man, so it's okay to tell you about it." Gu Lao took a hard puff of cigarette before he began to tell the story in English, obviously he was in a really good mood, so he was so considerate of the audience, "At that time, I was still a child, and I sneaked out to play, and I happened to meet a cultivator from the East coming here. ”

"I don't know what they're doing here, and I don't know what happened to them, in short, these cultivators from the east are angry. I saw them wave their hands, and the sky was full of sword light; A pinching of the finger is a spell all over the place. Now this Manhattan is being slammed by them. ”

"But the leader of the old way was obviously not satisfied with this result, so he let a pair of young men and women who had been following him without making any move, and the two men each took out two long swords, one blue and one purple, from the scabbard on their backs and threw them into the sky, and quickly recited a series of incantations, and then I saw that the two long swords merged into one, and emitted a piercing sword light—"

Turtle suddenly stopped and took a hard puff of his cigarette, which made the listener's hearts twist violently, "I didn't realize until I saw things clearly," he suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "The newly formed Manhattan almost broke in half, and the deep ditch that was split by that move is now Fifth Street." ”

"That's an exaggeration!" "If those Eastern cultivators are so powerful, why haven't we seen them do it in the past hundred years?" The observers questioned.

"You're still young, you don't know why." Elder Turtle bit his cigarette stick and chuckled, "In ancient times, the cultivators in the East did live in a mixed manner with the worldly people, but since a thousand years ago, the cultivators did not pay much attention to the mortal world, and instead focused on their own cultivation, until the mortals in the East came to the door seven hundred years ago to help, so that the younger generation came out to experience it, and by the way, they should be the saviors-"

Harry's body writhed uneasily as soon as he heard this sensitive word, and the turtle glanced over as if he were aware of it, and then went on mysteriously.

"But four hundred years ago, there was a sudden big scuffle in the Eastern Xiuzhen Realm, and the reason and experience were unknown to outsiders, only that all parties suffered heavy losses in the end, and they closed the mountain gates one after another to recuperate, so in the past hundred years, all ethnic groups in the West have been able to show off their power everywhere."

"But Layue's debts always have to be repaid! As long as you live well, one day you will see those old guys running out to collect debts, and when the time comes, these 'grasshoppers' who have been jumping more and more happily in the past will definitely die more miserably! Even those who are already dead do not need to expect hell to protect their souls, knowing that 'hell has no borders, and the river Styx leads to all seas.' ’”

The onlookers suddenly felt that there was a gust of wind all around them, as if they were no longer alive, and it was not until the radio sounded again that they felt the prosperity of Fifth Avenue again.

"Warning! Warn! The suspect's target is the Ministry of Magic, and District 91 is requested to raise the alert to red immediately. ”

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! ......" With the shrill siren, the railing near the exit of the Ministry of Magic began to glow red, and the surrounding sculptures also moved.

"Huh! These idiots looking for death were automatically sent to the door, come! Let's get started. The white-robed middle-aged man who had been bending over beside the old turtle suddenly straightened up, wiped his bracelet and pulled out a table covered with a white cloth, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Ladies and gentlemen, hurry up and place your bets! Let's bet on the fate of these fools, time is running out! Buy it and leave! ”

With his cry, there are many more red circles on the white cloth, each circle has a very real stereo projection, and above each projection is a set of numbers that express the odds, and these numbers will be adjusted with the amount of bets, obviously this cloth is a super professional gambling equipment.

"Isn't this red-level alert the highest level?" K asked abruptly, but his tone wasn't particularly surprised.

"The alert level here is a rainbow of seven colors." Catherine opened her mouth to explain, but her gaze still stayed on the gambling equipment of the middle-aged man in the white robe, "The first three levels represent that they are within the control range of the Ministry of Magic, and the next three levels are mobilization orders. Like the three imperial octopuses that the turtle elder just mentioned—"

The mentioned blue-robed old man suddenly looked over, which made the red-haired girl's voice pause involuntarily, and it didn't return to normal until he looked away.
