In modern society, when a person's true identity is determined, it is only a matter of time before he is found.

And in front of the state machinery, this time will never exceed three days.

Informatization means that individuals have no privacy at all.

Privacy protection is only between individuals, and you cannot peek into the privacy of other individuals.

For the state apparatus, there is absolutely no privacy at all.

Even your privacy is equal to nothing in front of Internet giants.

At that time, Xiao Ma Ge publicly stated on a forum that Goose Factory had facial pictures of Chinese people over the past ten years.

His original words at that time were: Goose Factory has a more powerful ability, which is that it has mastered the facial changes of almost every Chinese person in the past ten years.

The most shocking comment here is for everyone, because you must know that no matter how powerful the products of Goose Factory are, they cannot cover every Chinese.

When Charles' true identity was determined, he was found in a hotel on the edge of London within six hours.

Charles placed a monitoring device in his home. When the monitoring device discovered that several strange men were breaking in without permission, he knew that his true identity had been determined.

After thinking twice, he gave up resisting and escaped.

Because it is useless, the more people in the industry know, the more useless it is to escape after the true identity is determined.

As for confronting the state machine and taking other people hostage to escape?

Charles would never do this, so he might as well be more sensible and negotiate with England.

At least with magic in hand, he can have some initiative.

"Well done, Daniel.

Since we were the first to find Charles, we will be responsible for a series of subsequent tasks.

Regarding how Charles mastered magic, what magic he learned, and the ins and outs of all this, we will investigate."

Resources are earned.

Individuals need to fight for resources, and departments also need to fight for resources.

There are not many other institutions like MI6, and there are more than enough people.

If we were able to mobilize elites to form the Magic and Superpower Management Department, we could also disband this department.

Charles was taken to the town of Margate in Kent, southwest of London.

This is a seaside resort town in England, where people come and go very frequently.

So England has a secret base here.

Compared to London, the level of confidentiality here is much higher.

England hopes to keep the negotiations as secretive as possible before negotiations with the Europa League or Amerika.

"Mr. Charles, please briefly introduce yourself. We are not interested in your life. We only want to know how you master magic."

Charles is slightly bald, and another striking feature is that he is not like the traditional programmer who wears glasses and has thin limbs.

On the contrary, Charles is very strong, one can even describe him as strong.

Charles raised his head and looked at the man and woman sitting opposite him. He said calmly: "This information is very valuable. We need to make a deal."

When Charles saw no reaction from the two people opposite him, he continued:

"If I don't go back for twelve hours, I set up an anonymous mailbox to automatically send emails.

At that point, all information related to this magical incident will be sent to the CIA’s official email address on the dark web.”

Charles's idea is very simple. Even if the English officials want to cooperate with him, they must provide corresponding bargaining chips.

Charles continued: "Don't even think about finding an email address.

I have cleared all the relevant information, and even the most powerful hacker cannot restore the information within twelve hours."

Daniel finally couldn't hold himself any longer, "What do you want?"

Charles: "I need a wand, and how much information I will tell you depends on the quality of the wand.

If it is the wand Merlin used two years ago, then I am willing to tell you everything I know."

Daniel was speechless: "Merlin's wand is in Brussels, and no one in England can agree to this request.

As for the other wands, tell us what you know first, and then I will give them to you."

The four corners of the ceiling in this closed room are covered with cameras.

Every word they said in there, every micro-expression, was analyzed by a bunch of people in another room.

Charles' remarks surprised everyone.

The person in charge of the work outside immediately issued an order: "Find a magic wand, the most sophisticated one."

"I mean looking for a well-made Huron wand. I know we don't have any."

Some experts think it's interesting that Charles's offer represents what he desires most.

Why do you need a wand if you can cast spells without a wand?

In addition, the wand has no role in Merlin's system, so why would Charles make this request alone?

The instructions from above came from Daniel's headset: "Agree to his request, and we will transfer the goods from London immediately."

If you drive quickly, it only takes about an hour to get from London to Margate.

It's faster by plane.

Daniel said: "Can you first perform the magic you have?"

Charles shook his head and said, "I need to see the wand first."

"And don't try to trick me with a fake lake. I can sense the fake wand."

The room fell into silence. Bertie and Daniel took turns talking to Charles, but Charles remained uncooperative.

As for forcing the other party to compromise through violent means, they do not intend to do so for the time being.

If the opponent is unwilling to cooperate, then the message will be sent out, which will be very detrimental to England.

In the information age, while personal privacy cannot be guaranteed, it also gives individuals some means of confrontation.

It’s just that these countermeasures are more expensive and difficult to learn.

England actually brought a magic wand from London to Charles.

Someone in Daniel's headset introduced him to the wand, and then Daniel simultaneously told the other person:

"This wand is made of holly wood for the body and a raven feather core.

As a fan of magic, you must have seen many videos of Merlin appearing in Stockholm, right?

The raven feathers used in the core of this wand were made from the tail feathers of crows that were flying over Stockholm at that time."

Daniel could clearly see the expressionless look on Charles's face before, with a look of obsession on his face.

"Put the wand on the table, keep a distance, and ask him not to move. Our glass curtain wall is going to be raised and let him perform."

Daniel heard the voice coming from the headset and said, "I'll put the magic wand in front of you. Please show us what magic you know."

"There will be glass rising in the middle to prevent you from accidentally hurting us."

Charles nodded and said: "Okay, no problem."

"I only know elemental magic at the moment, and I'm not proficient enough in some destructive magic."

A glass curtain wall was raised in the confined space to separate the three people.

Charles picked up the wand in front of him, rubbed it for a moment, and then said:

“aqua propagatio shaisa tes”

A series of short and convoluted words came out of Charles's mouth, and they were matched with the other person's gesture of raising his wand.

Daniel, Bertie, and everyone in front of the camera are all focused on seeing what magic Charles has mastered.

“aqua propagatio shaisa tes”

“aqua propagatio shaisa tes”

The result is that nothing happens.

After Charles put down his wand, he recited the so-called spell several times.

Still no exception occurred.

He raised his head and looked at the two people opposite him: "Have you set up a forbidden magic array?"

"Or did you give me some magic-forbidden potion?"

Daniel was a little panicked at this time. Could they have arrested the wrong person?

If you catch the wrong person, it's over, everything is over.

After hearing what Charles said, Daniel became even more suspicious of whether the other party was the person they were looking for.
