Something is coming!
"Kevin, wake up! Kevin!"
Candice was pinned under him, and she could barely move due to the dizziness and weakness caused by the poison. But at least she was still awake, and she could feel the tremors beneath her becoming more and more clear.
There must be something approaching, and it's quite big.
"Kevin!"
Seeing that she couldn't wake him up by shouting like this, Candice thought for a moment and simply grabbed the boy's hair and pulled it with as much strength as she could.
"Oh... it hurts..."
Drowsily, Kevin finally slowly woke up. He subconsciously pushed away the hand that was pulling his hair, and then tried to push himself up.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Yes, even before his arms were straightened, Kevin felt as if his strength had been drained, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
The next moment, he pressed heavily on Candice's body again, causing the latter's whole face to wrinkle up - it was really fatal, Kevin's elbow hit her stomach!
"Are you... awake? At least... well, can't you at least turn over to your side first?"
Candice's belly hurt from Kevin's elbow. But there was nothing she could do about the pain, because Kevin was lying on top of her, so she couldn't even rub herself.
No, actually the pain is secondary. The key is what is that thing approaching here
Just as the little girl was enduring the pain and worried about the increasingly violent vibrations under her body, Kevin, who had finally been awakened by her just now, spoke.
"Candace... I'm sorry, I can't get up." He said weakly, "I don't have any strength all over my body, and my head is really dizzy..."
"Forget it," Candice pursed her lips and said, "Anyway... don't make any sound."
Before the words were settled, Candice, who was looking sideways at the arched doorway where she came from, suddenly became stunned. Because she saw—she saw that in the passage outside that they had just walked through, a huge shadow suddenly passed through. Although it was very fast, it was still so long that it seemed to take a long time to pass.
When Candice saw this, she couldn't help holding her breath immediately, for fear that the long and thick guy would discover where she and Kevin were.
But at this moment.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly..."
Probably because in order to help Candice over, Kevin's breathing became much more frequent in the short distance behind, so his poisoning seemed to be more serious than Candice's.
Although he was woken up by Candice, his mind was still muddy, so even his hearing had become much slower.
However, even though this was really not his fault, he still said this when he least should have said it.
And just this sentence... or in other words, this sound, suddenly made the big guy passing by outside suddenly stop!
"Hiss—"
The familiar neighing sound reappeared in their ears again, but this time it couldn't be closer.
"Oh... there's that voice again..."
Even though little Kevin is not yet awake, he can still respond to the sound, which shows that his curiosity about the sound can be described as "persistent".
However, people often say that curiosity killed the cat, and it may be most appropriate for this sentence to be applied to their two children.
Suddenly, Candice saw the big guy outside starting to retreat rapidly - it heard it! The two sentences Kevin just said were indeed heard by it!
Candice didn't have time to look at the situation over there, so she pushed Kevin's body with all her strength. Not to mention whether the two of them can still leave, let alone whether they can escape this danger, at least she should do what she can in advance!
As for the huge creature outside that has never been seen before... what is it
"Huh? What you can do?"
She suddenly froze for a moment because of her own thoughts, as if... she remembered something.
"Oh! By the way, brother Charles!"
Candice's parents only have one child, but she also has a cousin. Although for some reasons, she has rarely had the opportunity to see that cousin since she was a child, she still remembers his kindness to her very clearly.
As for the last time I saw him, it seemed that it was when my brother and his wife got married, right
Of course, Candice and her cousin's affairs were put aside for the time being. After all, the sudden crisis left her with no time to think so much.
She just remembered a silver necklace that her cousin gave her before the wedding.
"Listen up... My brother heard that something bad may happen in the UK next, so he gave Candice a necklace this time. You have to remember to wear it every day, and if you encounter If there is a terrible situation, just tear it off! In this way, my brother will quickly come to Candice's side to protect you!"
Although Candice didn't know what her brother meant by "bad things", almost three years had passed and she hadn't encountered anything.
For a child, three years is enough time to forget many things, but because she can see this necklace every day when she goes to bed, wakes up, and takes a shower, she has not completely forgotten what her cousin said.
At this moment, during the period of danger, she finally remembered.
As soon as she thought of it, Candice gave up the idea of pushing Kevin away and stretched her hands to her neck with difficulty.
"Um… "
She thought that with her current strength, she might not be able to pull off this silver necklace! But who knew that the necklace that usually seemed very strong now seemed to be made of paper under her tug, and was pulled off her neck with just one tug.
"Charles...brother."
Candice put down her right arm weakly, letting it fall limply to her side. She murmured her cousin's name, hoping that he would come to her "quickly" like he said three years ago.
She knew that her cousin Charles was a very powerful man, much more powerful than anyone she had ever known.
But at this moment, the big guy outside seemed to have retreated back to the doorway of the arch. A head that was even larger than the doorway just raised its head and hit the doorframe hard in an instant.
"boom!"
When the stone fragments flew, some of them hit Candice and Kevin. To be honest, little Kevin must have been hit more because he was lying on Candice's body and happened to be helping. She blocked part of it.
Fortunately, little Kevin is still dizzy. Even if there is gravel, he doesn't feel much.
"Brother Charles."
Candice couldn't help but spoke weakly again:
"Help!"
…
At the moment Candice tore off the silver necklace around her neck, a young man in a certain wizarding community got a slap on his face.
Because he saw that in a silver chain that was usually worn on his wrist, a certain silver ring suddenly broke, causing his entire bracelet to slip to the ground.
Immediately, he hurriedly bent down to pick up the silver bracelet, frowned and looked carefully at the letters engraved on the silver ring. Then he subconsciously muttered to himself:
"It's my cousin... is she in danger?"
"What's wrong?"
Just as Charles frowned and whispered, a young witch standing at the other end asked him.
He raised his head when he heard the words, and said a little hastily:
"Honey, I have to go - something might have happened to my cousin!"
After saying that, he picked up the silver ring and ran towards the back of the house. When his wife saw it, she quickly said to some other wizards here:
"Sorry, everyone! Something happened at my husband's house, and the store is temporarily closed. Please come back next time! Well... When you come back next time, my husband and I will definitely give you a good discount!"
That's right, the couple are running a wizard shop, selling some potions-related materials and finished products.
In fact, they originally set up shop in the underground black market. It's just that Haierbo caused a big drama in the black market that time, and they were sent out of the black market by Maka. Naturally, they didn't dare to go back.
The wizarding community where they are now was built under the planning and construction of the Ministry of Magic after that incident, and houses many "black households" who originally lived in the black market.
Of course, at this point, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this couple. They were Maka's two seniors at Hufflepuff House, the senior chasers of the Quidditch House team - Charles Brown and Christine Cook.
Oh no! Now, since Christine has become Charles's wife, her last name has naturally been changed to "Brown" along with her husband.
"Charles, wait! I'm going too!"
Not long after Charles entered the inner room, Christine, who had invited all the guests out of the store, quickly ran in. Seeing that Charles was trying to leave here with the help of the silver ring that was actually a door key, she immediately put her hand on it.
"You know, the whole world is not safe recently, it's too risky for you to go alone!"
"No, no, dear!" Charles couldn't help but advise, "You can just stay here - my cousin Candice is a Muggle. I don't think she will encounter any too terrible crisis. I am alone. I can definitely handle it."
But Christine immediately shook her head.
"Stop talking!" she urged, "Hurry up—didn't you say that something might have happened to your cousin? Think about your cousin's mood, now is the time to argue with me!"
"Oh fine!"
When Charles heard this, he stopped talking and immediately activated the magic spell on the silver ring. Immediately afterwards, the two felt a huge pulling force coming from the small silver ring, dragging them towards the middle.
The next second, the Browns suddenly disappeared into the twisted space fluctuations.
