Chapter 1375: Facing the Demon
Someone connected himself to the curse in the necklace through spiritual power, but the curse was not activated, but the source of the connection was exposed.
If Maca had to use a metaphor to describe it, it would probably be "an invitation from the enemy, eager but not impolite."
As for whether this "invitation" contained hostility or something else...... There is no way to guess and judge.
"Still in London...... Do you have to make another trip? β
If you just go for a walk alone, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for Maca. He just felt a little sorry - it looked like he wouldn't be able to sleep again tonight.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, and then put the cursed necklace floating in front of him back into the box. When the wooden box was put away, he casually lifted the robe hanging from the back of the chair, and walked briskly to the tent door as he put it on.
ββ¦β¦ Cornelian...... Maca? β
"Oh, Harry, did I wake you up?"
As he passed the bed where Harry and Ron were sleeping, he suddenly heard Harry call out to him in a daze, causing him to pause and look back.
"No, I think I just woke up." Harry subconsciously looked left and right as he answered, "Oh! Did I accidentally fall asleep just now...... What time is it? Maka, are you going out? β
"It's still a few hours until dawn! That's enough for you to get a little more sleep," Maca said, waving her hand, "Get some rest, there may be a task for you to do tomorrow!" β
After a gentle admonition to Harry, Maca walked out of the tent without looking backβto be honest, his last words were more of a reassurance, and if there was a mission tomorrow, it wasn't necessarily true.
It wasn't long before he left St. Mungo's camp with his staff and headed straight for London.
β¦β¦
It was about ten minutes after Maca noticed that the cursed necklace was abnormal, in a Muggle house in the city of London.
"He's coming this way for us...... With that big black one! β
The girl stared at the moving star ornament on the map and the slight red light on the surface of the ornament, and she finally showed a worried look.
"Coming here?" When the rock youth heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Do you want to run away?" β
But on the other side, the gentleman still shook his head.
"Runaway?" He sneered somewhat helplessly, "Don't come up with such a bad ideaβthink of the thing that that guy planted in our souls, where do you think we can go?" β
"I'm just talking and complaining!" The rock youth said helplessly, "In short, if Helbo comes in a while, then the work of communication will be handed over to you...... Those who can work harder, you are good at this. β
"Okay, I'll talk to him......" The gentleman pouted, looking reluctant, "but don't forget, even if something happens that causes me to die first, you'll probably 'go' with me together!" β
But at this moment, the girl at the table suddenly spoke:
"No, at least I won't."
"Huh?" The gentleman middle-aged glanced at her and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Why 'you won't'?" β
"Because the 'seed' that Helbo planted in my soul has been removed by me."
"What?"
This time, both the rock boy and the gentleman were taken aback, and they were busy and said, "What do you mean? You plucked that 'seed' out of your soul? How? β
"As long as you can control your soul, you can do it," the girl said quietly, "but I can only do it to myself for now, and I can't help you for the time being." β
"Oh! Doesn't that mean you can leave at any time? The middle-aged gentleman immediately asked, "Then why don't you leave?" What are you still doing in this hellish place? β
But this time, the girl didn't give her answer.
Seeing that the girl looked down at the situation on the map again, the gentleman and the rock youth glanced at each other in surprise.
"How long will that guy be there?"
"Not necessarily, the opponent's movement speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and occasionally there is a deviation...... Helmo is only roughly coming in our direction, and it is not known whether his destination is ours or not. β
"Oh!" The middle-aged gentleman spread his hands and said helplessly, "What a bad day - I hope we can all see the sun tomorrow morning!" β
Before the words fell, the rock youth couldn't help but "kindly" pointed out:
"Even if we make it to tomorrow, we may not be able to see the sun...... You know, there's a thick fog all over there. For those of us who can't get out of the city at all, sunshine is already a luxury! β
"Hmph."
The gentleman chuckled and did not speak again.
So the three people in the living room fell into silence, like three lambs waiting for the butcher to fall...... Although they certainly don't want to admit that this analogy is happening to them, the truth is right in front of them, and there is no room for anyone to deny it.
In this way, after about ten minutes, they suddenly felt the air around them suddenly tighten, as if it had frozen.
Of course, the air must not have frozen, but the feeling has actually acted on the depths of their hearts.
Here it comes!
As the three of them flashed back to the year, they suddenly heard a creaking in the doorway. Then, I saw that the wooden door, which was still quite heavy, was pulled out of the door frame and thrown aside with a "clang".
The next moment, the tall black figure lowered its head slightly and walked in from the outside.
The demon's body is indeed tall and strong enough, but it is still within the normal range, so in terms of size alone, it actually doesn't look so exaggerated.
However, its power was so strong that it only rubbed a little bit against the door frame before it knocked out the crack in the wall.
When the three of them stared silently at the doorway without saying a word, the "big black man" was the first to speak.
"What, don't you recognize me?" Helbo said lightly, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, because that's not the point." The point is, Fei, have you already laid out those curses? β
"Yes," the girl nodded, "except for one of them, which was triggered by mistake, the others are already in place and ready to be activated at any time." β
"Well," Helpoch said in a daze, "good...... Prepare, maybe it's time to use it next. β
