The time zone difference between London and Tokyo is 9 hours. It's just dark over there, and it's the darkest time before dawn here, so there are basically no vehicles on the street, let alone pedestrians.
The last time I came to London, I was in Hermione's world, but no matter which world this city is in, it gives people a bleak feeling. I can't say there's anything bad about it, but I can't pick out the good things either.
New York is very developed, Paris is very romantic, Moscow is very cold, and London here... uh, very retro?
"Fu! Fu~"
The cat held a bamboo stick in its paws, raised its mouth and kept blowing air, but it could still talk when it had time:
"We are looking for a man with glasses named Timothy Hunter. Do you know Deathstroke?"
"I know, the owner of the Book of Magic, but I don't know what his current situation is. At least I haven't heard from him in the magic world for the past six months."
Su Ming, who let the cloak fly in one direction, heard the name and knew that he was going to use that book. However, now that the story line of Earth 0 has been changed out of shape by himself, the boy's dynamics are even more uncertain.
.
"He chose safety before." The cat said, and it put its little nose close to the octopus ball again, felt the heat with its whiskers, and then continued to wait.
"So that's it, that means he is now, and his memory has been erased." Su Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.
Timothy Hunter, known in the magic world as the Chosen One, or the Natural Mage, is said to be a lucky man chosen by the spirit of nature, and has a super talent for knowing any magic at a glance.
He is very young and is still in high school, but he is now retired, which is also a tragedy.
He had awakened once before, and was led by "The Trenchcade" composed of four men in trench coats, including Constantine, Sage Oz, Phantom Stranger, and Mr. E, to join the magical world and see the hidden things in real life.
The mysterious world.
But the magical world is too dark, and Constantine is unreliable. Mr. Hunter has experienced some very dark and desperate things. During the journey to the fairy world, Sage Ochi also died because he was tricked by someone.
This was completely unacceptable to the boy who had become the most powerful mage on earth at that time. He activated the Book of Magic to erase all his abilities and memories, turn back time, and reshape part of reality, allowing him to return to his ordinary student life.
middle.
However, this kind of retirement also has hidden dangers, and the price of magic cannot be avoided by patting your butt and washing your hands in a golden basin.
"This boy has lost those memories of the past, but he still dreams of some strange things in his dreams, such as escaping in an underground passage like a 'back room' while four wretched men in trench coats keep chasing him.
Come on, meow, hee hee."
The big fluffy cat told the man's current situation. It can be said that Hunter's dream is now like a real-life version of the Pac-Man game.
The boy's memory loss actually formed a maze, and the four windbreaker idiots were also very interesting. Although the Dream of a Thousand Cats is the dream of cats and cannot interfere with human dreams, this does not prevent them from watching the fun.
A young, handsome boy with glasses was playing hide-and-seek with four adult men who seemed to be wearing only trench coats in a bright underground maze... Poof!
"His soul is still pursuing magic, longing for the strangeness in life." Death continued to eat snacks, and she pulled the octopus tentacles hard: "Awakening magic ability again, regaining memory, facing pain and darkness again,
It’s almost a given.”
"Destiny?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it is fate that the Book of Magic can only be in the hands of Mr. Hunter." The girl replied, and she was kind and soft-hearted and shook her head.
"Book of Magic", as the name suggests, is a magic book. Although it is not as strange as the "Manuscript of Lovecraft" in Deathstroke's hand, it is still a strange object.
All the magic that exists in the world is recorded in that book. Ordinary people will only see a blank page when they open it, but if it is in Hunter's hands, he will be taught all the magic step by step.
In view of Hunter's unique talent, he can learn any magic at a glance, so it may only take one night for him to become a qualified sorcerer stronger than Constantine again.
Books and people seem to be matched and destined to be together.
But is this really a good thing? The more powerful the magic, the higher the price...
"Found it, but what is he doing in the alley instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?" At this time, the cloak stopped, Su Ming glanced down casually, and pointed out a man wearing pajamas and bare feet walking in the alley.
A big boy sleepwalking in the alley.
Why is it said to be sleepwalking? Because he didn't even open his eyes, but he ran very fast, leaving traces of his bare feet on the wet cobblestone ground without tripping over any obstacles.
Whether it was a trash can or a refugee or homeless person, he stepped over them all accurately while sleepwalking.
"Let me see." The big cat's tail was lit up again. In the light of the fire, Thousand Cats' Dream examined the boy's dream and showed a sympathetic expression: "He dreamed of his deceased mother, and the mother wanted to
You want to leave, but he is chasing you."
It's that simple, there's not even much to say.
Some people have very complicated dreams, such as dreaming about how they made a fortune by trading stocks, at what point they bought which stocks, at what point they made the decision to sell them, and how they enjoyed themselves after making a fortune, etc.
Hunter's dream was very simple. It was a dark winding path, with his mother flying in front and him chasing after her, but she disappeared.
"But he seems to be being targeted."
Death raised his chin and motioned for both the man and the cat to take another look. On the walls on both sides of the alley, there were many people in green robes. They were crawling on the wall like geckos. It was obvious that everyone was staring.
Boy's back view.
"Leng Yanhui, I thought they were all dead." Su Ming laughed. This organization is somewhat like the Hydra next door, but it is mysterious: "It seems that they are also eyeing magic.
book."
"It's an inexplicable decision. I've already said it. The book of magic is just a blank book in the hands of others." Death was a little helpless. She sighed, as if she didn't understand some people's brain circuits: "Always
Someone is looking for death, a meaningless death."
"You forgot to mention that many people died in funny ways." Cat added.
While the two of them were talking, the situation changed a little. People in green robes surrounded the boy with glasses, and the latter woke up in time.
He picked up half a screwdriver on the roadside and used it as a self-defense weapon, but the evil mages still kept pressing forward with a grin on their face, because they had guns and swords in their hands.
The boy screamed in despair:
"stay away from me!"
Along with this roar, the screwdriver in his hand spurted out dense lightning. He didn't even recite the incantation. His pure survival instinct made him awaken the magic.
Under a flash of lightning, about seventy or eighty green-robed mages all died instantly, with smoke still rising from their bodies and the smell of barbecue.
"Uh, I suddenly don't want to eat octopus balls anymore." Mimi frowned as a cat. She returned the octopus balls to Deathstroke, hooked her paws and said, "Give me a piece of radish to eat, something vegetarian."
