Chapter 266 Benjamin's Dilemma

In Godric's Hollow, in the villa, Mike was listening to Pappy's report.

When the raven Pappy finished telling him all about what Victor had done in the past two days, Mike showed a faint smile on his face.

This Victor is interesting.

He really thinks this Victor is quite good.

First of all, his character is very much to Mike's liking. Mike knows very well what kind of talent he needs. He needs the kind of person who is ruthless and has a bottom line but that bottom line is quite low.

Because as his career develops, he will definitely come into contact with more and more dirty things. At that time, those so-called gentlemen will not be able to get along with him.

This is why he is so optimistic about Hermione but did not absorb her into the Freemasonry.

Hermione is a standard white left, or a more extreme one. This kind of person will definitely have disputes with him in terms of ideas in the future, and even betrayal may occur.

Secondly, Victor's fighting talent also makes Mike very optimistic.

It can be seen that Victor's magic talent is not outstanding, just at the level of a normal person.

He didn't have as much magic power as Mike, so he couldn't use the fire spell as a regular combat spell like Mike, but he developed many combat methods that consumed very little magic power.

Bubble Head Curse, Floating Curse.

What a creative idea!

Mike even felt that compared to himself, Victor was a real wizard, a person who really used his brain to fight.

Who said that you can't kill people without a gun head?

Those seemingly low-powered daily spells and auxiliary spells can also become murderous weapons as long as they are used well!

Mike found a lot of inspiration from Victor.

However, he was still too young and had too little experience. Although

Victor replaced his wand to avoid the tracking of Brown Silk, a whole village was destroyed. Such a big thing could not be hidden from the Ministry of Magic.

I guess the Ministry of Magic will find him soon.

Mike was hesitating whether he should use his connections to help Victor. After all, he was very optimistic about this young man with the same hair color as himself.

But after thinking it over again and again, he decided to wait and see how things progressed.

This will not only allow us to see Victor's reaction to such a thing, but also maximize the benefits.

After all, what does the Chinese say? By the way

, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake!

After making the decision, Mike's smile became even brighter. He twisted his body to change his sitting position and asked Papi:

"What about Benjamin? I remember there are a total of 8 people there, right?"

'You mean that bunch of trash? They haven't found a single hair yet! '

Raven Papi's tone was a little sarcastic, and Mike frowned.

He was also very optimistic about Benjamin, and couldn't help but continue to ask:

"What's the situation, where did they go?"

'East London! These idiots! Ha ha ha ha! '

Mike understood instantly. No wonder Benjamin and his friends had nothing to gain in the past few days. Although the East London is relatively poor and many people call it a slum, it still belongs to London after all.

There may be some extraordinary creatures that act recklessly in other first-tier cities, but there are really not many extraordinary creatures in the city of London. Even if there are, they are powerful monsters with max concealment skills. It is impossible for Benjamin and his friends to find them.

After all, the Ministry of Magic is in the underground of London!

The Leaky Cauldron, Nine and Three Quarters Station and many other important wizard buildings are also in London!

If there are blind extraordinary creatures who dare to mess around in the city of London, they are really tired of living.

Shaking his head, Mike closed his eyes and buried himself in the soft sofa to take a nap.

He originally thought that Benjamin was a bit smart and could try to cultivate him.

But now it seems that even the hunting ground can be chosen wrong, so it seems that it is nothing more than that...

At the same time, Benjamin in an old apartment in East London was doubting himself.

They have been in this place for several days.

In the past few days, all of them have been checking this area step by step according to the original plan, but despite their hard work, they still found nothing.

The East End of London, the slums of London since ancient times, is the most dangerous place in Conan Doyle's London in the Mist.

It is close to the docks, and most of the residents are poor people who were born as coolies and various immigrants. Although the East End of London has gradually taken off the hat of slums with the development of the economy in recent years, various drugs, gangs and transactions can still be seen everywhere .

In short, although the economy of this area has developed, the quality of people remains the same.

This is the dark place in London, where countless people and things that are not allowed to see the light gather.

It stands to reason that there should be a lot of dark magic creatures hiding here, which is what they play in comics and TV. Why did he find nothing here?

Benjamin grabbed his hair in annoyance. The failure of several consecutive days has greatly hit their confidence, and even his prestige as the captain has been damaged.

These problems made Benjamin distressed, and he even felt that his hairline began to move back in the past few days.

Benjamin was awakened by a loud bang. It was the sound of the old wooden door hitting the wall.

Benjamin looked over and saw a white young man with short brown hair leaning against the door frame and breathing heavily.

"We found... we found something supernatural!"

The young man's face was flushed, and it was obvious that he was very excited.

However, Benjamin's reaction was very calm.

There was no other way. He had heard too much similar news in the past few days. At first, they would go over to check it out excitedly, but after investigation, they found that these so-called supernatural phenomena were all hallucinations caused by the drug addicts who took too much.

But as a captain, he still had to have the attitude he should have. Benjamin straightened his messed up hair and said expressionlessly, "Oh? What kind of supernatural phenomenon is this?"

"It's a child. People nearby say that the child is possessed by the devil!" The young man said, "This legend has been circulating for a long time. Even if it is exaggerated, there must be something wrong with the child!"

"Really? Then call the others over, and we'll go and have a look together."

...

Half an hour later, the team members who were scattered in various areas to inquire about intelligence came back. Benjamin gave a rough introduction to the situation and then ordered them to set off.

It can be seen that the team members were not in a very good mood. They had gathered like this many times in the past few days, but in the end, nothing was gained, which made them very frustrated.

Especially those girls, their resentment in their hearts had accumulated to a few hours. Some of them even said publicly that if they didn't gain anything this week, they would go home.

After all, they also gained nothing, so why should they stay here and suffer?

Benjamin was not surprised by this. He also understood these girls, because the environment here was too bad for these young ladies.

Dirty toilets, noise at night, bad food, harassment and attacks by street hooligans and homeless people...

If they were not wizards with extraordinary powers, they would have been robbed long ago, right?

He couldn't bear these experiences, let alone those girls?

But no matter what, the work still had to be done.

A group of eight people walked on the street. This was a relatively prosperous street in the East End of London, so there were many pedestrians on the street and the public security was pretty good.

Although there were still idle hooligans and homeless people everywhere on the street, perhaps because it was daytime, these people did not do anything out of the ordinary.

At most, their eyes kept scanning back and forth on a few girls.

Most of these hooligans were black and not very old.

As mentioned before, the most common people in East London were immigrants, and the largest number of immigrants were black people.

There were both legal and illegal ones, and these black people came from all over the world, and some of them were second-generation or even third-generation immigrants born in the UK.

But many of them had one thing in common, that is, they had nothing to do and lived on the minimum living allowance relying on the good welfare system in the UK.

If it were just that, it would be fine. After all, the British government is a big country, and it is a good thing to support so many idle people.

But people cannot be idle. Once they are idle, they will think about other things.

For example, brand-name clothes, women, etc.

What's more, because life is too boring, they even take drugs.

And to continue such a life, you need money, which is much more than the government's minimum living allowance.

So, the crime began.

Benjamin believes that he is not a racist. He even admires some black people, such as Michael Jackson and Jordan. These people are very outstanding people, but after actually contacting these low-level black people, he began to doubt his own ideas.

He understands that every country and every nation will have some scum. This is a probability problem and cannot be avoided.

You can't label all of them the same because of the bad behavior of a few people.

But the probability of scum appearing in the black race seems to be too high.

The girls must have felt this deeply, because nine out of ten people who harassed them in the past few days have dark skin.

After going through so many things, Benjamin felt very regretful when he thought about donating money to poor areas in Africa when he was in elementary school.

I heard that people there even eat grains used as seeds!

Compared with them, Asians are normal and good immigrants, especially the Chinese.

They work hard, endure hardships, and abide by the law. At the same time, their adaptability is also amazing, which can be seen from the Chinese restaurants and various Chinese supermarkets that can be seen everywhere here.

Of course, they are not easy to bully.

I heard that overseas newspapers often say that Chinese people are bullied abroad, which is very pitiful.

Benjamin sneered at this

. Are you kidding? People who can survive in the East District with extremely poor security will be easy to bully?

Benjamin doesn't know how the Chinese live in other places, and what kind of bullying they have, but at least here, most Chinese are tough guys. Benjamin

thought as he walked, and soon came to a relatively remote area.

Compared with the previous bustling street, this place is simply a perfect match for Benjamin's impression of the slums.

The low, dilapidated, and haphazardly built illegal buildings, the flowing sewage, the stray dogs everywhere, and the skinny and sallow homeless people who looked like drug addicts.

All of this made Benjamin and his companions frown deeply.

And the people here were obviously bolder. Benjamin could clearly feel that there were more malicious eyes on them.

Some homeless people were even naked and followed them with bad intentions.

The girls in the team felt it even more deeply. The fiery eyes of those people made them unconsciously pull up their collars to cover their exposed white necks.

"This is a drug den. People here are either drug addicts or drug dealers. I heard that 30% of the drugs in London come from here."

Benjamin nodded and said to the young man who explained to him:

"What about the child you mentioned? Is he also a drug addict?"

"No, the child has no money to buy that thing, and because of the legend about him, no one is willing to give it to him. Oh, we are here, he is just in front."

After the young man finished speaking, he pointed to a deep alley. Benjamin and others looked there and saw several people lying in the box, and a child with messy hair and wearing a thin and worn sweater was squatting there.

The child was very thin and looked like he was only seven or eight years old. And his body was covered with various stains, Benjamin and others couldn't tell his gender at all.

"Are those people dead?"

"No..."

Benjamin answered the question of a girl next to him expressionlessly, and then took the lead and began to walk into the alley.

There were men and women in the alley, but most of them were pale and thin, and extremely sloppy.

Obviously, they did not notice Benjamin and others at all.

Looking at the man and woman, Benjamin suddenly remembered one he had seen.

Thinking of this, looking at the skinny man in front of him, who was very funny like an emotionless machine, Benjamin suddenly laughed out loud.

Benjamin quickly restrained his laughter under the strange gaze of his teammates. It was really not appropriate to laugh in such a serious scene.

Benjamin continued to move towards the child, and the child did not seem to notice him.

But what surprised Benjamin was that as he got closer and closer to the child, the temperature around him was gradually decreasing.

At first, he thought that it might be because the temperature inside the alley was relatively low because of the dampness and darkness, but as he got closer and closer to the child.

He was surprised to find that the source of the coldness was actually the child!

Benjamin's breathing began to become heavy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised because of ecstasy.

He knew that this time they really encountered a supernatural creature!
