Chapter 5: 005 Goodbye
The Shaw Newspaper Building, towering in a prime location in Manhattan, is the headquarters of the newspaper empire in a palatial and ornate decoration.
Hundreds of journalists work here, crowded and orderly. The elevator door opened, and Langdon Shaw, the youngest son of newspaper tycoon Henry Shaw Sr., walked out excitedly, followed by the four "Second Salem".
"This is the newsroom ......"
"Hey guys, how are you guys?"
"Look, they're going to print the newspaper......"
Langdon walks around the office to show his authority, but the reporters in the office know what Langdon is, and he often comes up with funny and crazy plans to make a mess of the company, and he ignores him.
The middle-aged woman, the woman Hu Qing had an argument with at the bank gate, was the leader of the "New Salem Charity Society", a fanatical anti-wizard No-Maj (accent problem, equivalent to British Muggles, referring to ordinary people in the non-wizarding world), with a calm and unmoved expression.
The beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was Castilli Barrebonne, a quiet and shy girl.
The little girl, Modistie Barrebon, was full of energy, her big eyes looked around excitedly and curiously, and Credence beside her looked nervous and lowered her head.
Langdon led them to a double door at the end of the spacious office area, and Buckle, the elder Henry's assistant, stood up uneasily.
"Master Langdon, Mr. Xiao and Senator Xiao are talking about things inside......"
"Hey, dear Buckle, I'm his son, get out of the way, I'm going to see him."
Langdon pushed the door open and entered, and the old Henry and Senator Shaw who were talking stopped and looked at them with angry expressions.
Bakr hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir, your son insisted on seeing you......"
"Alright, you go down."
After Buckle left, Old Henry looked at Langdon, "Langdon......"
Langdon slammed a stack of newspapers, manuscripts, and photographs on the table, and said excitedly, "Dad, and my dear Senator Shaw, I have brought you great news. ”
"Magical turbulence has swept New York!"
"Something strange happened near the City Hall subway station."
"Be alert, dangerous creatures are approaching ......"
The bold and blacked headlines caught the eyes of Senator Henry Sr. and Senator Shaw, as well as photos of the road being destroyed, which was shocking, but Old Henry knew too well about his son's character.
He stood up and said, "Langdon, Henry and I are discussing his candidacy for president, you go out first, by the way, these people will also be taken away." ”
Langdon was stunned and exclaimed, "This news will cause a sensation, what a pity to miss the news opportunity, and besides, Ms. Barrybone doesn't want money......"
"Either her news is worthless, or she has other plans, and no one will reveal anything of value for free." Said Henry Sr.
"Yes, Mr. Shaw." Mary looked calm, without the slightest hint of dismissive anger, and said in a persuasive tone: "There is something more valuable than money, and that is your influence, and millions of people read your newspapers......"
"Langdon, leave with these monsters, Dad and I have something to talk about."
Senator Shaw stood up, he was a popular candidate for the presidency, and his status in the eyes of old Henry was far greater than that of Langdon, and Langdon did not dare to dwell too much.
"The future president has spoken, and I can't disobey, Ms. Barrebon, I'm sorry, they don't recognize the value of your news, please." Langdon said in a weird way.
Mary said gracefully: "Mr. Xiao, if you change your mind, you can come to me, we are not difficult to find." ”
Old Henry did not respond, and Langdon left the office in a rage, followed by Mary, Castilli, Modesty, and Credens, and a leaflet slipped out of Credence's hand.
Senator Shaw bent down to pick it up, crumpled it up and stuffed it into Credence's hand, pointed to the trash can next to him and said, "You are all monsters, you should be thrown there like garbage." ”
Credence stared at Senator Shaw, stimulated by anger, and he visibly twitched, a violent, unstable force surging within him.
"Credence, let's go." The little girl Modisti took his hand and tried to protect him.
……
In the American Hotel, Hu Qing was lying on the floor sweating profusely, and he was exhausted after completing the nine movements of the first stage of "Practicing Physical Guidance" with difficulty, not the feeling that his body was evacuated but relaxed, but tired, which made him realize that doing it twice a day was the limit, and he had to stop.
More than ten minutes later, Hu Qing got up from the ground, his face was ruddy, his mind was refreshed, his body was warm, and a more majestic air flow was flowing in his body than before, as if he wanted to break some kind of shackles and turn into a butterfly.
"Damn, just a little bit." Hu Qing muttered unwillingly, helpless, so he had to give up for the time being.
He changed into a refreshing suit and was going to go out to eat something, when suddenly, the floor of the room shook, and a low beast roar accompanied by an explosion sounded, which sounded not far away, Hu Qing was startled, opened the door and rushed downstairs.
The innkeeper stood at the door and looked around, and said to Hu Qing: "Don't worry, it's not an earthquake, someone's gas exploded in their house......"
At this moment, a blue insect flew overhead, it was about an inch long, its whole body was blue with a bright luster like green jade, and there were helicopter-like wings on its head, buzzing past its eyes.
If Newt were here, he would immediately recognize it as Billy Wig, an insect native to Australia.
Anyone who has been stung by a slender sting needle at the bottom of its body will feel dizzy and then float up in a flickering way, and some young Australian wizards will try to catch Billy Wigg and stimulate it to sting itself so that it can float up. It should be noted that the sting will be permanently floating.
Hu Qing watched it disappear, looked thoughtful, and raised his legs and walked towards the place of the incident.
Nearby residents surrounded a collapsed building, whispering and pointing, some of them looked angry, some looked panicked, and some were just watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal.
When the two policemen got the news, they took a serious note to the onlookers, trying to figure out the cause of the explosion.
Hu Qing watched from a distance, squeezed through the crowd, and stepped up the metal staircase into the gloomy apartment.
The filthy room was a mess, with footprints of huge creatures, broken furniture, broken glass, and a large hole in the wall facing the street, as if some creature had broken through the wall.
A faint moan came, Hu Qing walked over vigilantly and cautiously, and saw Jacob lying on the ground against the wall, with a red bite mark on his neck, bleeding constantly, he looked a little delirious, he didn't know that Hu Qing came in, and shouted in a low voice.
"It's a good fate, Mr. Kowalski, are you alright?" Hu Qing observed him with a smile and did not rush to save people.
Glancing around, there was an old brown box on the bed, the box's spring lock popping open, and the faint roar of a beast came out.
"Interesting, Newt's box was still taken by him." Hu Qing stretched out his hand and pressed the lock, and then walked towards Jacob in a hurry.
"Hey, man......"
As soon as he got closer, a motra rat that looked like a mouse and had an anemone-like motif on its back came out from under the cabinet and pounced on Hu Qing fiercely......
