"There was a necklace that was triggered prematurely, and the location of the curse was activated...... It should be in the south-eastern suburbs of London. I didn't initiate the connection, so I don't know who it was or who triggered it......"

In an old neighbourhood in the city of London, there is still a house with a dim glow from its window. Through the gap in the curtains, you can see that there are faint figures shaking in the living room of this old red brick house.

It was three wizards of various ages.

The eldest man looked to be in his thirties or forties, and wore an unwrinkled suit lined with a waistcoat with a handkerchief. A top hat was placed on the coffee table in front of him, a slender wand next to it, and a black cane reclining next to it.

At first glance, it is a complete gentleman's style.

At the moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room, sipping a steaming cup of coffee. Looking at his attitude as if there was no one around, it seemed that he didn't have much interest in anyone or anything other than himself......

And on the bar directly behind this "gentleman", the other younger male wizard has a different personality.

I saw that the young man was dressed in a rock 'n' roll style - a denim jacket with rivets and a T-shirt printed with a skull, an inexplicable and weird silver ornament around his neck, and a messy hair dyed with vibrant colors.

To be honest, it actually looks a little like the Bill Weasley he once had.

Right now, the young British rock is sitting at the bar with his head propped up, pouring liquor into his mouth. His eyes were misty, and he seemed to be equally immersed in his own world, as if he were unaware of everything around him.

As for the third person in this living room, it is another "painting style".

She was the only woman of the three, and the youngest—at best, she was about the same as Ginny, or maybe even younger.

The girl was wearing a plain dark sweater with a white shirt underneath and a plaid skirt, exactly the most common dress for middle school students nowadays.

She has long black hair that is very down, and her appearance is also unremarkable, but somehow, that face looks a little gloomy.

At this time, she was sitting at the kitchen table, on which a map was spread. As you can see, there seem to be some scattered small objects on the map, and at a glance they are the kind of cheap trinkets that little girls of her age like.

It's just that, as time goes by, some of those trinkets are moving around on their own. Some move more slowly, others quite fast.

By the way, the previous sentence "the curse is triggered" came from her mouth.

And just after she finished speaking, about ten seconds later, the "middle-aged gentleman" at the beginning put down the coffee cup in his hand slightly, and said indifferently:

"It's normal to be triggered early, after all, some small accidents are inevitable, aren't they? Don't take the initiative to connect and probe, in case that McLean detects it, with his ability, I'm afraid he will be able to touch it soon. ”

"Hmph, we'll run away when he's coming!" It was at this moment that the rock boy at the bar suddenly spoke, "We don't have to obey Helpo's orders!" ”

"Then you want to stand on the opposite side of Helmaugh?" The gentleman shook his head, "I don't care what you two think, I don't want to be the enemy of that guy anyway...... And now, if we don't do things according to his arrangement, we will definitely be a 'dead' word when we bump into him in the future! There's no other possibility—"

"Hey, who made us so unlucky?" The rock young man shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a light face, "It must be that you have done too many bad things to meet such a big devil." ”

Just as the two of them were chatting word by word, the girl at the table suddenly paused, and then said expressionlessly:

The curse's reaction was gone...... Well? No, it should have been suppressed by someone, and it didn't fully exert its effect - the other party's means are good. ”

"Does that mean there's no chance of spreading?" The gentleman chuckled and said, "Faye, the curse magic you invented doesn't seem to be very powerful, right?" ”

However, the girl he called "Fei" only shook her head slightly, and there was still not much expression on her face. I heard her say coldly:

"The one who fell under the curse should be a wizard who is very good at dealing with spell damage...... I don't deny that my magic is still lacking, but I will have to wait for the other person to try to break the spell before I can tell if it is 'powerful'. ”

"Oh, and is there a 'back hand'?" When the rock young man heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, "Did you leave a fake clue to unravel the spell?" ”

"It's just a disguise of the curse effect," Fei said calmly, "its first effect is the drying up of blood and the massive atrophy of muscles, and if you misjudge at this stage, the curse will be further triggered." ”

"I see," the rock boy nodded immediately, "and it's exactly the same symptom as the 'Brighton Curse Necklace' that appeared decades ago. ”

With that, he picked up the glass and poured it into his mouth again, before smashing his mouth and continuing:

"What if you're not misled?"

"Then it depends on whether her curse design is more subtle, or the level of the spell solver is higher!" The gentleman raised an eyebrow and said, "Heads and heads decide the winner - this is the romance between the duels!" ”

"It's not 'romantic' from the beginning, okay?" The rock youth pouted and said, "Forget it, you won't listen to what I told you...... A fake gentleman with a head full of old-time duelingism! ”

"Hmph, young people don't understand the nobility and reserve of a gentleman...... Alas, young people nowadays are too impetuous. ”

The girl sitting at the table didn't pay any attention to the mutual scolding between the two of them—she hadn't even turned her head to look at them from the beginning to the present.

Aside from occasionally paying attention to the movements on the map, she was basically fiddling with the little doll in her hand the rest of the time, and barely took the initiative to speak except to explain the situation and give appropriate answers.

Just looking at her gloomy and cold face, it is more appropriate to say that she is withdrawn and cold than introverted.

After about ten minutes, when the gentleman and the rock boy finally stopped running against each other, they frowned slightly.

"Helbo's magic reaction occurred once...... Near Big Ben, not far from here. ”
