"There is a necklace that was triggered in advance. The location where the curse was activated... should be in the southeastern suburbs of London. I didn't actively connect, so I don't know which group of people are there, and I don't know who specifically triggered it...

…”

In an old neighborhood in downtown London, there is still a dim light shining through the windows of a house. And through the gap in the curtains, you can see a vague figure in the living room of this old red brick house.

It's shaking.

Those were three wizards of different ages.

The oldest man looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was wearing a wrinkle-free suit and a waistcoat with a handkerchief. He placed a top hat neatly in front of him.

On the coffee table, next to the hat is a slender wand, and next to it is a black cane leaning.

At first glance, he looks like a complete gentleman.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room, slowly sipping a cup of steaming coffee. Looking at his nonchalant attitude, he seemed not to be very interested in anyone or anything other than himself...

And just behind this "gentleman" at the bar, another younger male wizard has another distinctive temperament.

I saw that the young man was actually dressed in a rock-and-roll style, a denim jacket with rivets and a T-shirt with a skull printed on it. There were inexplicable and strange silver jewelry hanging around his neck, and his messy hair was dyed with vibrant colors.

To be honest, that style actually looks quite similar to the former Bill Weasley.

At the moment, this British rock young man is sitting at the bar with his head propped up, pouring wine into his mouth randomly. His eyes are blurred, and he seems to be immersed in his own world, as if he is unaware of everything around him.

.

As for the third person in the living room, he has another "painting style".

She is the only female among the three, and she is also the youngest. Judging from her appearance, she is at most the same as Ginny, maybe even younger.

This girl was wearing an ordinary dark sweater with a white shirt underneath and a plaid skirt underneath. It was exactly the most common middle school student outfit nowadays.

She has long black hair that looks very lopsided, and her appearance is ordinary, but for some reason, her face looks a little gloomy.

At this time, she was sitting at the kitchen table, with a map spread out on the table. It could be seen that there seemed to be some scattered small objects on the map. At a glance, they were all about her.

The kind of cheap trinkets that little girls of this age like.

However, as time goes by, some of those trinkets are moving on their own. Some move slowly, and some move quite quickly.

By the way, the previous words "the curse was triggered" came from her mouth.

And just after she finished speaking, about ten seconds passed, the "middle-aged gentleman" at the beginning put down the coffee cup in his hand and said calmly:

"It's normal to be triggered in advance. After all, some minor accidents are inevitable, right? Don't take the initiative to connect to the detection. If McClain notices it, with his ability, I'm afraid he will be able to touch this place very soon.

Come."

"Huh, let's just run away when he comes!" At this moment, the rock young man at the bar suddenly said, "We don't have to obey Haierbo's orders!"

"Then you want to stand on the opposite side of Haierbo?" The gentleman shook his head, "I don't care what you two think. Anyway, I don't want to be an enemy of that guy... And now if we don't follow the instructions

If you do things according to his arrangements, if you bump into him in the future, it will definitely be a 'death'! There is no other possibility."

"Hey, who made us so unlucky?" The young rock and roll man shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a sly look on his face, "It must be that he has done too many bad things to meet such a big devil."

Just as the two of them were chatting, the girl at the table suddenly paused and then said expressionlessly:

"The reaction to the curse disappeared... huh? No, it must have been suppressed by someone, and the effect was not fully exerted. The other party's method was good."

"Does this mean that there is no chance for it to spread?" The gentleman chuckled and said, "Faye, it seems that the curse magic you invented is not very powerful?"

However, the girl he called "Fei" just shook her head slightly, without much expression on her face. He heard her say coldly:

"The person who was cursed should be a wizard who is very good at dealing with the damage caused by curses... I don't deny that my magic is still lacking, but I have to wait until the other party tries to break the curse before I can see whether it is powerful or not.

'."

"Oh, is there any 'back-up plan'?" The rock young man heard this and raised his eyebrows immediately, "Did you leave a fake clue to solve the curse in it?"

"It's just a disguise for the effect of the curse," Fei said calmly, "its first effect is the drying up of the blood and the substantial atrophy of the muscles. If the judgment is wrong at this stage, the curse will be further triggered."

"So that's it," the rock youth nodded immediately, "it is the exact same symptom as the 'Brighton Curse Necklace' that appeared decades ago."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took another big sip into his mouth, then smashed it and continued:

"Then what if I'm not misled?"

"Then it depends on whether her curse design is more sophisticated, or whether the level of the curse-breaker is higher!" The gentleman raised his eyebrows and said, "A head-on battle is the romance between duels!"

"Isn't it okay to stop being 'romantic' from the beginning?" The rock youth curled his lips and said, "Forget it, you won't listen even if I tell you...a fake gentleman who is full of old-time duelism!"

"Huh, young people don't understand the nobility and reserve of a gentleman... Alas, young people today are too impetuous."

The girl sitting at the dining table didn't pay any attention to the mutual quarrel between the two people. She didn't even turn her head to look at them from the beginning until now.

Apart from paying attention to the movements on the map from time to time, she basically spent the rest of the time playing with the little doll in her hand. Apart from describing the situation and giving appropriate answers, she almost never took the initiative to speak.

Just looking at her gloomy and cold face, it would be more appropriate to say she is withdrawn and cold rather than introverted.

About ten minutes later, when the gentleman and the rock young man finally stopped jostling each other, they suddenly frowned slightly.

"Helpo's magic reaction appeared once... near Big Ben, not far from here."
