In the early morning of London, there is always a faint mist, the cars and human figures on the streets, the towers of ancient buildings towering in the distance, all turn into a hazy silhouette of mist, and the damp cold of the high latitudes lingers in the air, and the grass and trees along the frost vines. At such times, even the Kingdom Crossroads, which connected the British capital with nearby towns, was deserted and cold.

Occasionally, some travelers passing by in a hurry did not realize that they looked at the two emaciated and strange figures.

It is strange to say, because these two guests who stayed on the platform early in the morning are the characteristics of an East Asian with yellow skin and black eyes, and they are different from the rigorous and obscene tourists in terms of dress and appearance.

What's more, they've been wandering here for three days now.

These two mysterious Orientals are the two newcomers who have decided to go it alone as part of Rorschach's squad. However, since they dare to break away from the protection of the senior and choose to read, they naturally have their own reliance.

"Hmph, that so-called senior is obviously just a child who doesn't know what to do, and he wants to drive us like dogs by gaining a little bit of unknown ability before us? It's a dream! ”

The person who spoke was the young white-collar worker who mistook Rorschach for the leader of the cult and was kicked away, but at this time he had completely forgotten his embarrassment and cowardice at that time, and just said hatefully: "They can't imagine that just before entering this world, I just revisited the story of the first volume of Harry Potter because of the relationship between chasing female colleagues in the unit, as long as we follow the story of the plot, we connect with Hogwarts and pretend to be a prophet, we will definitely be able to get those magical abilities!" ”

However, compared to his confidence, the other companion who had spoken sharply in front of Rorschach was a little worried at this time, and he hesitated for a moment, but still took over the conversation and asked, "But how can we gain the trust of those wizards?" I remember that the wizards in Harry Potter were quite discriminatory against ordinary people, and even Dumbledore, the leader of the White Wizards, was not as trustworthy as his appearance, and he often used to use magic to secretly read the hearts of others. ”

"Don't worry, do you think I didn't think of this stubble?" The short man smiled proudly, waved a thick book with gold edges in his hand, and replied: "According to this so-called 'Book of Reincarnation', the information about the plot in the hearts of our adventurers is all blocked, and we can't reveal the development of the matter to the plot characters, but on the contrary, even if they try all methods, mind reading, hypnosis, torture, or anything else, they will not be able to get the truth word by word." ”

He suddenly showed a look of resentment, subconsciously touched a red and swollen scar on his forehead that had not disappeared, and continued: "Damn, I originally planned to arrive at the train station of the wizarding world directly from the Kingdom Cross Station, but I don't know why, we can't get into the '9 and three-quarters platform' mentioned in detail in the book, otherwise why would we be stupid here and wait for the students of the wizarding world to pass by?" ”

In fact, during these three days, they took advantage of the negligent early morning and late night gaps of the station inspectors to try all methods, including forced ramming, running and rushing, and even digging with knives and axes. It's a pity that although this wall looks ordinary, as if it is the same as other platforms, it is actually protected by a magic spell, and Ping Yue doesn't see anything special, but when this newcomer recklessly tries to destroy, he is immediately counterattacked, and he is stunned by a flash of light on the spot, if it weren't for the fact that his companions saw that the situation was not good, he was immediately dragged away, and he was almost taken to the hospital by the surrounding crowd. You know, they are not the natives of this world, once they attract the attention of the surrounding security guards, with the fact that they don't have any identification, I'm afraid that they will be trapped in the police station for a long time to explain their origins.

Because of this, after many attempts to no avail, they are actually almost desperate, and they just wander here with the last chance mentality, hoping to meet a wizard who is riding a magic train, so that they can use verbal persuasion to get help.

Unbeknownst to the two newcomers, however, their plan was largely correct, but it had a fatal premise wrong: the train platform to the wizarding world was not like the modern subway bullet trains, but a direct express train to and from the ancient magical academy "Hogwarts". In other words, this school bus platform, which only picks up and drops off students, is not open to anyone who is not on campus at all, except for the start of school in July and the winter and summer vacations after January.

Time passed little by little, and when the popularity of the railway station gradually flourished, the two newcomers were also anxious one after another, and when they began to quarrel with each other, a puzzled and cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Who are you?"

They were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned their heads, only to find that the person who came was a British boy of more than ten years old.

With slightly curly silky pure blonde hair, wearing a neat tuxedo with black and white, with thin lips unique to the West, and a young and immature face, the whole person looks like a little adult who pretends to be mature but has not taken off his childishness. But what made the two newcomers even more ecstatic was the birdcage he was carrying, and one of them, a palm-sized pocket owl with a snow-white body, was hanging upside down from a slender wooden pole and sleeping with his eyes closed.

"We ......." The two newcomers glanced at each other, their faces were happy, and they were about to open their mouths to explain according to the prepared lie, when they suddenly heard the faint voice of the young man in front of them.

"Needless to say...... Looking at your actions in the past few days, I thought it was a companion from my hometown, but now it seems a little different. What is going on, I can naturally ask clearly," said that, just under the horrified gaze of the two of them, the blonde boy raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he slowly spoke fluent Chinese with a round tone, and then his five fingers suddenly closed, and he pulled a short and thin round staff from the air, and lightly pointed at it.

"Imperio (out-of-body)--"

In the next second, their eyes went black and they lost all consciousness.

……

On the other hand, Rorschach and his party, who didn't know what happened to the other two newcomers, did not seem to have any common sense because of the addition of a maid. Even if this guide can't show up to lead the way because of his identity, at least he can learn a lot of information about the wizarding world from her, so naturally he doesn't have the stupid action of wanting to go to the Kingdom Cross.

However, in this way, the question of how to enter the wizarding world has still not been resolved.

"If it were Bulgaria, I could still contact some acquaintances of the black road, but in the United Kingdom, where witchcraft management is the strictest, unless there is a local guide to lead, and even black record wizards from other countries who come to travel, there are many people who can't find the way......" Obviously, the abducted woman surnamed Meiwa does not have a good solution to this.

Even Rorschach didn't expect that the communication of wizards in this world would be so secretive. However, it is no wonder that the wizarding tradition in this world originally originated from the customs of passing down the generations of masters and apprentices in the Middle Ages, even if four powerful wizards later opened up a subspace school to recruit students, it was also divided into four campuses with their own heritage, with obvious traces of reading power. This kind of power group with a flourishing social structure can hide for thousands of years in the ever-changing human society without causing any alarm, and it naturally has a unique way of concealing its whereabouts.

In fact, in the original story, there is also a node between the real world and the wizarding world, that is, the "Leaky Cauldron Bar" that the protagonist Harry Potter entered when he first came into contact with magic. And behind the bar of this wizard's meeting, there is also the entrance to the "Diagon Alley", a commercial street in the entire British wizarding trade center, once you enter it, you can not only contact local wizards, but also purchase a large number of magic items with various magical effects. However, the detailed location of this bar is not clearly annotated in the original book, and it is only roughly said to be "next door to a video museum", and in the cosmopolitan city of London, counting the living areas close to the suburbs, there are more than 700 video stores, and Rorschach himself does not know whether he can resist the illusion of bar blocking, so he does not consider this route unless it is absolutely necessary.

"What a nuisance...... Did you really force me to do that last resort? Rorschach knocked on the table in annoyance, only to see some fast food boxes placed in a mess on the round table, which were just the leftovers from the adventure team's dinner. In the past two days, the adventure team has been dispatched in batches under the advice of Meivayaniya, and almost all the places that may be related to the wizarding world have been found, but unfortunately most of the strange phenomena in the rumors cannot withstand scrutiny, and a very small part is also recognized as traces left by wizards a long time ago, so naturally nothing is found.

Since most of the team members are from the same country, their actions are naturally based on the customs of the Celestial Empire culture, so even the blonde girls Connor and Mayavayania are gradually getting used to the discussion after dinner.

Ji Qing, a female college student on the side, saw that Rorschach was slightly distressed, and she also put down the original book she had successfully borrowed in her hand, and asked: "Captain, in fact, I think that we can stop looking like this and start with other means, since we can't find wizards directly, why don't we get in touch indirectly by finding their relatives?" ”

Connor raised his head with a look of obvious surprise: "However, we can't even find them in person, how can we ...... Wait", she suddenly raised her head and suddenly realized, "Sister, you mean...... Those Hogwarts students, ordinary people living in the real world? ”

The female college student nodded and explained: "Although the protagonist Harry's uncle's family seems to be just a family of ordinary people with a bad temper, due to the identity of the savior and Dumbledore's attention, I am afraid that they have always been in a state of strict protection, even if we catch their line, we probably won't get any results." But among the other two second-in-one protagonists in this world, leaving aside Ron Weasley, who was born in a wizarding family, Hermione's parents are ordinary people. Although it is difficult to find someone in the vast sea of people, the background of this world is that in 1991, the United Kingdom has promoted real-name registration, relying on the ability of the captain, using the official power to investigate a certain dentist couple surnamed Granger, it should not be difficult, right? ”

Xiong Shaodong, a young man among the newcomers, also reacted, and immediately said in surprise: "Yes, captain, you can use your spiritual power to control the police and the British political axe, and use their scientific and technological power to find people." And now it's the end of the twentieth century, World War II has ended, all kinds of high-tech weapons have been launched, although we can't fly tanks and planes, but get some guns and grenades or something, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ”

Rorschach was stunned and pondered for a moment, but still shook his head and replied, "It's okay to get a weapon, but it's not okay to find Hermione's parents." ”

He then explains: "Just like at the beginning of a game, different methods of intervention are chosen to intervene, and the results are different. We don't have any causal connection in this world, roughly equivalent to black households, which is easy to arouse suspicion, and if you rashly visit the Granger family, the benefits are actually unknown without knowing whether they can take the initiative to contact their daughter. And let's not talk about how to gain their trust, even if I control them, it is impossible to control those wizards with superhuman mental power, once it is mistaken for the three unforgivable curses, it will immediately cause the disgust of the entire wizarding world, and it will almost be opposed to the white wizarding group under Dumbledore's control, even if this old fox is cunning and lets us enter Hogwarts with a wait-and-see and tempting attitude, I am afraid that once Voldemort attacks, we, who are already untrusted outsiders, will bear the brunt, The first one suffered as a victim, and when the time came, it was really over. ”

As he spoke, just as everyone present sighed regretfully, Rorschach suddenly smiled, and continued with a twist: "But your method has given me an idea, and I have some understanding of what to do......

"Asking for others often means being naturally inferior. In that case, why bother with finding them, why don't we let them come to us on their own initiative? Rorschach took a leisurely sip of herbal tea, and his half-closed eyes faintly revealed a touch of blue color, and said pointedly:

"In a sense...... I'm the Lich King. ”
