Chapter 287: Seeking Help from a Thousand Miles Away
Obviously, the smart little snakes will not let their parents know about their actions.
They all kept silent, concealed these little actions in front of others, and tried to be well-behaved children.
But in front of Jian Yu, Daphne had already let herself go, thinking that she had nothing to hide.
"To be honest, I really don't understand Muggles." She held her chin up and casually lay on the bed, flipping through Jian Yu's Muggle Studies textbook with curiosity and a little disgust. "They don't have magic, nor do they have owls, two-way mirrors, or Floo powder... but the book says that they can transmit information just like us? And the book written by Professor Bubbage says that they can transmit information at the same speed as us?"
"Because they have phones." Jian Yu answered her, "and Muggle technology is developing rapidly. In the future, everyone will have a handheld phone. As long as you know another person's number, you can talk to him instantly, just like a two-way mirror."
Daphne suddenly fell silent, her brows furrowed, revealing a conflicted look.
It was as if something was broken in her heart, perhaps it was the pride and self-esteem as a wizard.
"Is this true?" she said softly after a long while.
"In the future, when we enter the information age, everyone will have a smartphone. Not only can you communicate anytime and anywhere, you can watch TV series and movies on a small screen, and you can send messages to different people without leaving home. There are various apps on which you can acquire knowledge, read news, shop, pay... and play games..."
Just talking about it, Jian Yu shed tears of nostalgia.
God knows, after coming here, all she thinks about day and night is a smartphone!
Daphne had a complicated expression. She couldn't understand all the words Jian Yu said, but that didn't stop her from realizing that it was a great invention.
She felt her worldview slowly shattering in her heart.
In the education we received since childhood, Muggles are lowly, dirty, stupid creatures, no different from animals.
But what happened this year made her have a secret suspicion.
Are what parents say really the right things?
How come Muggles, who have no magical powers, were able to invent calculators that can think much faster than we can?
Why are Muggles able to write such profound theories that they can't even understand?
Receiving information that was completely different from what her parents taught her, her first reaction was “This is impossible!”
But she knew that Jian Yu could not lie to her.
The scene she depicts is exactly what life will be like for Muggles in the future.
The worldview was greatly impacted, making Daphne feel uneasy, but she was secretly excited in her heart -
She knew that she was not a very rational person who could think comprehensively...but her intuition was very accurate.
——At least he’s very accurate in hugging thighs.
Her intuition told her that Jian Yu was planning a grand plan to shake up the wizarding world...
Maybe her game console... is the prototype of the so-called "smartphone"!
Once such things come out, the owls and two-way mirrors that wizards currently use for communication... those paper newspapers... they will be completely trampled underfoot!
Maybe this is Jian Yu’s first step to control the world!
In that case, she must join this grand plan!
Her name will go down in wizarding history, and together they will change the world!
"To join your plan...how many O's does the company need me to take?" Daphne grabbed Jian Yu's hand and took the first step of change, which made her feel that the rest of the road would be much smoother. "If you must have me take the Muggle Studies class, I can also move a chair and sit outside to eavesdrop!"
"Alchemy is a required course in the sixth and seventh grades, and you have to get at least an O in Charms."
Jian Yu answered her mechanically. She didn't understand why Daphne, who obviously had a good family background, suddenly wanted to come work for her.
Could it be that the rich second generation wants to experience life?
She watched in horror as Daphne jumped up from the bed as if she had been given an injection of chicken blood, raising her arms and shouting:
"I'm ready, let's change the world together!"
It turns out that I have the second-year syndrome.
Jian Yu held his forehead with his hand and lay back on the bed, then took out a two-sided mirror.
When she mentioned mobile phones, she couldn't help but think of her missing R&D staff, the LeMay couple.
It was almost Christmas, but there was still no news from the couple.
As usual, she called out their names in the mirror.
She thought it would be quiet again...but this time, there was movement on the other side of the two-way mirror!
"Nico? Perenelle?" She asked in confusion. "Where are you? Are you all right?"
But there was no kind and old voice of the two familiar old people coming from the other side, nor were there any faces of the couple.
The mirror only reflected a brick wall that appeared and disappeared from time to time, accompanied by an unknown sound, as if something was hitting the lens!
The background sound from the mirror was unclear, but she could vaguely hear a few words... It was a female voice of resistance...
"Grindelwald...arms and legs...burn the house..."
The voice was intermittent, as if the contact was poor, but the information it conveyed was enough to make Jian Yu's heart tremble!
Then there was another scream, followed by Nico's heavy gasps of pain:
"...my skeleton...my little finger...is deaf...can't hear..."
"Albus... go to Azkaban..."
Jian Yu's face suddenly darkened. She put her ear close to the mirror, trying to hear more sounds.
But the mirror flickered and nothing could be seen.
She slapped the mirror twice, but it remained motionless and did not respond at all!
Jian Yu suddenly jumped off the bed and ran straight to the principal's office!
She knew what that sound of knocking on the lens was!
That's the sound of blood flowing and dripping on the lens!
Grindelwald...finally attacked the Flamel couple!
They must have been imprisoned, tortured, interrogated and abused...
Now I have the opportunity to send her a message for help!
......
Nico, who was absorbed in his research, was looking everywhere for his lost little finger.
"Perenelle, do you see my little finger?"
Perenelle, who was working on developing the first communication service application in wizarding history, was interrupted and picked up her cane unhappily:
"I told you long ago not to fight with Grindelwald! I don't want to be the one following you around picking up your fallen arms, legs and fingers!"
"I can't believe that you guys are still fighting over a game at your age! If you had spent the time burning each other's houses on research, the future of us wizards would have been different!"
Her cane hit Nico, causing her husband, who was too old to feel the pain, to deliberately let out a loud cry of pain to beg for mercy, and vented his unhappiness on Grindelwald:
"Grindelwald - give me back my little finger -! You've broken my old bones!"
"Don't play deaf and dumb - I have to use the special magic on my little finger to unlock the screen - you are delaying the progress of wizarding society!"
"Since you have proposed to join this technological revolution, since you sincerely repent for the crimes you have committed and want to fight for the overall interests of wizards... then please return my little finger - otherwise I will tell Albus to transport you from Nurmengard to Azkaban -"
Nico was unhappy as he searched the house that had been burned and repaired countless times, but he was embarrassed to find that -
Grindelwald wasn't even in the house!
After some twists and turns, he finally found his lost little finger, which had been broken onto the dusty two-sided mirror in the corner during the previous fight.
At this moment, it was unhappily bending and stretching because it had left its owner, and it was hitting the mirror, making a tapping sound.
Sensing its owner approaching, it happily jumped from the mirror into Nico's palm.
"I haven't communicated with Yu for a long time. Every time I start researching, I forget everything."
Nico put his little finger on himself and called out to the darkened mirror:
"Jade, are you there?"
The mirror showed no reaction.
"The kid is probably busy." Nico put the mirror down and sighed, "I won't bother her. I hope everything is fine with her."
After getting his little finger back, he plunged into intensive experiments again.
