Chapter 61: Fantastic Beasts and Where Are Them
The showers are fading.
Although it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dark and it seemed like it had entered the night.
In order to make it easier for passers-by to walk, street lights have been lit up in several neighborhoods.
In the rainproof shelter at the entrance of the coffee shop opposite a police station, a man and three women sat in a circle, each holding a cup, and used the heat of the coffee in the cup to dispel the cold caused by the rain.
They were none other than the Irene Five who had received the assignment from Sonoma.
"I finally know why this copy is called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!"
Erin muttered frustratedly, then looked up at her teammates, "Ah! Where the hell is Sugo? ”
Since last night, the five of them have been tracking down the magical animals that escaped from the circus; So far, only Sugo has not been found.
"It's a pity that Ah Bai's tracking map can only track people who know their real appearance and name, otherwise it will be much easier." Gu Xiao said with regret.
"At the end of the day, it's still that NPC that's unreliable."
Seresa took a sip of her coffee and said dissatisfied, "It's clear that he lost Sugo with him, but he turned around and let us look for it." What else is to test our strength, to see if we have the ability to face Grindelwald.
We're just here to deal with Credence, and we don't necessarily have to play against Grindelwald. ”
"That's it!"
Erin echoed angrily, "It's really an official who crushes people to death!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jing next to him hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't complain, instead of being angry because of that arrogant NPC, let's think about it from a different angle."
The work he arranged for us is all side quests!
Think about the rewards we get, think about the experience we get and the Galleons ......"
Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the three of them, he continued, "Isn't it much more comfortable in my heart?" ”
"You're okay with this mentality!" Gu Xiaoxiao smiled.
Thresa glanced at Jiang Jing, and answered leisurely: "Those black-hearted bosses are also so foolish to beat workers. ”
"So the little reward we get is the pocket fee?" Erin blurted out.
Poof!
Gu Xiaoxiao and Serena burst into laughter.
At this moment, Ah Bai, who was wearing a black raincoat, walked out of the opposite police station and walked over quickly in the drizzle.
"What are you talking about? Laughing so happily. He took off his hood and sat down in the chair next to Erin.
"We're talking about pocket money."
Erin leaned to the side and said angrily, "You move slowly, the water on the raincoat splashes on my face!" ”
"Talking about the?"
Ah Bai was stunned, and then smiled, "Then I'm relieved, you are not laughing at me." ”
"Uh......"
Erin raised her forehead speechlessly, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked, "How is it, have you found out the whereabouts of Sugo?" ”
Ah Bai said in a deep voice:
"According to the police officer in charge of the neighborhood, before it rained, there was a report of seeing a giant monster that looked like a tiger. My guess is that it's most likely a donkey. ”
"Did you ask where you saw it? Or where is the informant? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jing suddenly became interested, "Although I don't know if it's a donkey, we can only try our luck." ”
"Near the Street of Cats for Fishing by the Seine."
……
When the drizzle stopped, the five followed the map to Cat Street, where they were fishing.
Although it has a street character in its name, it is actually just a small alley, not only narrow in width, but also only 30 meters in length.
Probably because the rain has just stopped, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
"If only there was a hunter."
Erin, who had been looking around the alley but had found nothing, couldn't help but mutter, "It's the first time I've found the skill of Hunter Intuition so useful. ”
"Come and see this !!"
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.
I saw that where her right hand was pointing, a handful of brightly colored hairs were stuck between the gaps in the bluestone slabs.
"It's Sugo's hair!!"
After confirming the information with [Advanced Detective], Ah Bai said excitedly, "It seems that we have found the right direction!" ”
"There's that too!"
Walking a few steps down the alley, Jiang Jing found another handful, "It should stay here for a while, let's look forward in the direction of the alley, maybe ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the roar of Sugo in the distance.
His expression perked up, and he immediately shouted, "Over there, quick, let's chase after us!" ”
As they spoke, the five of them were already running quickly in the direction from which the voice came.
As soon as they turned a corner through the alley, a huge Sugo appeared in their field of vision.
In front of it, a young witch in a dark green lady's suit was pointing her wand at it.
Obviously, the roar that the five of them heard before was that it was intimidating each other.
Glancing at the cowering and curious ordinary people standing on the side of the street, Ah Bai drew his wand and waved it sharply and quickly:
"Muggle expulsion!"
As the incantation was recited, the ordinary people who were watching involuntarily left one by one.
Seeing this, Jiang Jing stepped forward and negotiated with the witch:
"Hello, ma'am! I'm Louis Lane, an Auror from the Ministry of Magic, and these are my colleagues......"
Before the introduction was finished, the witch shouted happily: "Jiang ...... Louis, I'm Venda Rozier, come and help me! ”
This witch is none other than Rosie, and the reason why she is here is also purely coincidental.
Time goes back an hour ago.
A temporary stronghold for the saints.
“…… So, don't you usually turn on the Regent all the time? ”
Looking at Queenie sitting on the couch, Rosie smiled and cast a refill spell on the teapot beside her.
"Hmm!"
Queenie nodded, "Most of them are only used when needed, otherwise my head will explode just by listening to the broken thoughts in people's hearts." ”
Speaking of this, she said with a palpitating expression: "I don't want to experience that experience a second time." ”
"That's right."
Rosie suddenly said, "I thought that a natural dementor would be an all-weather, indiscriminate mind-reader!" ”
Queenie smiled, "It was true when I was a child, because of this, my family moved to the secluded country, and it wasn't until I was able to control this ability that I returned to New York. ”
When she mentioned her family, she suddenly thought of her sister, so she got up with a smile and said goodbye:
"Thank you, Miss Rozier, for your hospitality, but I have to go find my sister."
"Don't worry!"
Rosie raised his hand to stop the other party, and said with a smile, "You haven't seen the man here!" ”
"Huh? Are you married? Queenie's eyes widened in disbelief.
As soon as Rossi wanted to deny it, she heard the slightest footsteps outside the door, and it was thanks to her hearing that she had grown since she had learned Animagus, otherwise she would not have noticed this movement.
Her deep eyes turned, and she curled the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "It should be said that my heart belongs." ”
Hearing me say that, Grindelwald should be more trusting, right?
Muttering in her heart, she said to Queenie again, "You sit down again, I'll go see if he's back." ”
With that, she staggered slowly towards the door. (End of chapter)
