It was undoubtedly the most messy living room Maca had ever seen, with all the furniture toppled to the ground, and the tapestries that were supposed to be hanging on the wall were torn and scattered haphazardly in the corners.

And where Maca came in, it was at the dining table in this living room, and under his feet were all kinds of smashed ceramic cutlery.

It can be seen that this place has experienced a storm-like destruction.

"Huh?"

He looked left and right, and saw a picture frame hanging on the wall that had been crooked. After straightening it in his hand, he scrutinized the photograph behind the shattered glass.

In that magical photograph, a young wizard couple is standing calmly together, plain in appearance and dress.

It's just occasional...... Occasionally, the wife would glance at her husband, but quickly look away. The look in her husband's eyes made Maca hesitate.

All in all, it doesn't look like a normal couple by any means.

“…… As far as the description of the intelligence is concerned, it should be this male wizard. Maca nodded slightly.

He looked away from the frame and looked around the hurricane-like living room again, but he didn't find anything particularly strange.

Well, or rather, it's all such a mess, could there be anything stranger than that?

Absolutely.

A few more steps had Maka taken before his feet suddenly stopped, for he seemed to hear an extremely faint voice...... No, it's two!

“…… Topmost? ”

Maca subconsciously glanced towards the ceiling, and searched for the two voices that seemed to be absent.

But in the next moment, the voice disappeared very abruptly.

After a moment's thought, he lifted his leg and walked up the stairs to the side of the living room, while he went through the previous information in his head.

In fact, it is a very ordinary couple who live here.

The husband works in a medium-sized mercenary team in the black market, and of course, most of the tasks in the black market are not serious, and the wizards who do this business are naturally not serious;

However, his wife is a woman who is so gentle that she can't even scold people.

Although it is not clear how the couple came together, it is not difficult to imagine the life between them.

Because of his livelihood, the husband leaves early and returns late, so he can only leave his wife alone at home. And because of her husband's lack of strength, the completion rate of the task has not been high, so the money earned and the energy paid are completely unequal.

The excessive pressure made the husband increasingly emaciated, and the couple never had a child of their own.

It's just that this family is different from other cliché stories, although the husband has a bad temper, he has never beaten and scolded his wife.

From the point of view of the informant, this is a small family, although difficult, but very stable.

However, not so long ago, the family suddenly collapsed.

First of all, her husband fell ill, and he began to be in a trance, and he could only lie in bed in a daze all day. Without the only source of income, life becomes even more difficult.

In order to make ends meet, the wife sold the house left to them by her father and moved in with her husband in this rented house.

Although the rent in the black market is not cheap, she cannot move outside with her husband. This is only because her husband has been working in the black market mercenary team for so long, and he has long been included in the list of dangerous people by the Ministry of Magic.

But even so, the family's doom has not left.

After a period of time, the husband, who was only in a daze, suddenly attacked his wife. During the time when his wife fainted, he ran to the black market and made a big fuss, and even led to the order maintenance team of the black market.

That should be the first time this man has shown symptoms of "madness".

After that, his wife had a lot of trouble getting her husband home, apparently trying to find someone to treat him.

But after several useless tosses back and forth, she finally imprisoned her husband at home.

At the time, the informant told the story to Maca in the form of small talk, and some of the details were clear, but one could not help but wonder a little about its authenticity.

But for Maca, the key to this story is not the warm and sad background, but the follow-up to the story.

Because, this is a story with a beginning and no end.

After just a few days, it seemed that everything had settled down. The husband went out to work again, but he still left early and returned late, and even seemed to be more active than before.

And the wife still takes care of the housework during the day, and leaves the light for her husband at night, quietly waiting for her husband's return.

It's as if that nightmare day ended inexplicably.

What happened in it? Was there a good Potions Master who cured her husband, or was there something else?

With a hint of curiosity, Maca gently walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

Standing in the corridor on the second floor, he intently sensed it, and soon noticed that the room on the left side of the stairs had regular fluctuations that had been spelled.

“…… Silencer? ”

He stood in front of the door to check and nodded. The faint voice just now was most likely that the silencer spell was failing; And if the voice suddenly disappears, it must have been made up again.

After habitually checking the touch of her wand, Maca tapped the doorknob with the tip of her wand and the door opened silently.

The first thing he saw was a double bedroom that was even more messy than the living room. And in this bedroom, a puzzling scene is quietly unfolding......

On the bed in the bedroom, a man in pajamas was tied to a beenchanted rope, his mouth open and closed, and his expression was in a trance;

And on the floor next to the bed, a woman lay there, and the floor was covered with brown potions bottles.

Her expression looked manic, and she was still clutching an identical potion bottle in her hand, pouring it into her mouth.

At this moment, Maca's reaction was not unpleasant. I saw him stretch out his wand and point, and the power of the levitation spell was immediately exerted on the woman's body.

Then, with a flick of his wand, the potion bottle in the woman's hand floated steadily in front of him, and there was even half a bottle of potion in it, which had not spilled a bit.

The woman who had lost the potions vial, her eyes became even more furious, but she couldn't move half a minute under Maca's control.

Ignoring the woman, Maca quickly reached out and grabbed the potion bottle in his hand, placing it under his nose and shaking it. With a slight movement of his nose, his levitation spell actually failed for a moment, causing the woman to sink a few inches.

In the next second, a trace of shock flashed in Maca's eyes.

It wasn't his momentary loss of consciousness that surprised him, although the smell alone was certainly very powerful, but it wasn't shocking to him.

He was surprised that the effect of this potion made him have an inexplicable doubt.

"Is it a sense of disobedience? Or is it familiarity? Maca couldn't help but frown, "This feeling...... I always feel ...... Something is wrong......"

He gave the woman a full-body restraint charm, and then he took a few steps inside, picked up a cork from the ground, and stuffed it back into the mouth of the potions bottle in his hand.

After shoving the half bottle of potion into his waist, he tapped his wand at the woman's mouth again.

"Huh?"

I saw that after he untied the confinement of the woman's mouth, he could only see her mouth move, but she didn't make a sound. He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the silencer spell in this room was still there!

However, when the silencer spell was also lifted, the voices of the man and woman in front of Maca's eyes immediately exploded in his ears.

“…… Goddess! Other...... Don't leave me, Goddess ......"

"Goddess...... Please forgive your servant......"

Although the shouts of these two people seem to be full of passion, the content is extremely monotonous, nothing more than a few words said upside down, but the noise is a little unbearable.

It's just that most of the people who have lived in Black's old mansion have long been immune to this irritating ghost crying wolf. Maca just listened to their shouts, frowning in thought.

At this moment, I heard a sudden "pop" sound in the room, followed by a soft sound.

"As soon as I heard a shouting from the second floor, I subconsciously apparition came in......" Tonks stood behind Maca, looking at the man and woman in front of him, and said with a surprised face, "What are they calling this?" Goddess? ”

"Well, goddess."

Maca nodded, and gave both of them a full-body binding spell, and the whole world was suddenly quiet.

"I don't know exactly what they mean by 'goddess,' but it must have something to do with this potion," he said, flicking the empty potion bottle on the ground with his foot, "or ...... I guess that's a symptom too......"

"That's what kind of potion?" Tonks said in amazement, "So many bottles? ”

"yes," Maca said thoughtfully, "so many bottles ......"

Tonks thought for a moment and hesitated, "Then what to do next, do you want to take them away?" ”

"I probably can't ask anything at the moment, so I can only take it away first, and then ...... when I go back Well? ”

He was about to put a spell on both couples, but when his gaze swept over the wife's face, the movement of his hands froze.

"What's wrong?" Tonks wondered.

Maca didn't answer, he just looked into the woman's eyes, as if to confirm his guess, and untied her face again.

“…… You, you...... Who is it? ”

A weak but calm voice sounded from her mouth, causing Maca's expression to change slightly.

"Good evening, Miss Betsy. It's a lot of offense to come uninvited in the middle of the night. ”
