Unknowingly, Jacob returned home with a box belonging to Newt. Although he seemed to remember nothing today, Jacob was in a relaxed and happy mood after receiving the funds to open his own bakery.
This made him smile even when he returned to this tiny apartment and lay exhausted on the bed.
Looking at the photo of his grandmother hanging on the wall, Jacob smiled and said: "Grandma, I won't let you down! I will definitely realize my dream."
With that said, Jacob sat up from the bed, picked up the suitcase next to him and planned to get some ready-made bread from it.
I have to say that the craftsmanship Jacob inherited from his grandmother is indeed very good. The bread he bakes is soft and sweet. It is precisely because of this that he wants to open a bakery and has enough confidence in his craftsmanship.
So now that he was hungry, the first thing Jacob thought of was the bread sample he originally planned to use to convince the bank manager.
After all, there is no refrigerator these days, and even if there is one, it is not affordable for low-level workers like Jacob, so there is no room for bread and it must be eaten as soon as possible.
However, when Jacob picked up the suitcase and opened the lock on it, a powerful impact knocked him to the ground, and something he didn't see clearly rushed out of the suitcase and hit him directly.
After breaking the wall on the side, it disappeared.
Jacob also fainted to the ground due to the strong impact, and the suitcase next to him was left open.
——————————————
When Newt and Tina hurried to Jacob's house with uncle and nephew Chen Mo, half of the street was shattered as if it had been bombed.
A group of panicked residents were gathering on the street, looking at the damaged buildings with lingering fear and discussing what had turned the street into this state.
Perhaps because gas street lights were still in use in this era, many people speculated that the explosion of underground gas pipelines caused all this.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in New York recently. There have been several similar incidents before, in which streets were destroyed under inexplicable circumstances, streets were opened, and buildings were damaged...
It can be said that this incident is one of the topics that New Yorkers are most concerned about today, and several newspapers have reported this incident on their front pages.
It's just that originally New Yorkers just thought it was news, but they never thought that it would become news.
When everyone was talking about it, Tina's face was so ugly that she could die. As a former Auror of the Magic Congress of the United States, she knew some inside information, such as what happened to the recent frequent sabotage incidents in New York, and how magic is now
The relationship between the world and Muggles is already at its most tense moment in history, and war may break out at any time.
So at this time, Newt's suitcase caused such a huge commotion, and it is understandable that Tina's face turned ugly.
But at this moment, she did not have the authority to deal with this matter. She could only helplessly look at the commotion and damaged streets in front of her, unable to pull out her wand to deal with this matter.
Chen Mo looked at this terrible situation and said, "Mr. Newt, you and Miss Tina go up to Mr. Jacob first, and I will handle the matter here."
With that said, Chen Mo snapped his fingers. The people on the street were stunned for a moment, and then went back to do their own things as if their memories had been wiped out.
And the originally destroyed streets began to repair themselves, as if someone had cast a repair spell.
Seeing this scene, Tina and Newt couldn't help but widen their eyes. As wizards, they knew exactly how demanding it was to achieve this.
Simply repairing the streets is easy to say, but erasing memories is not easy, especially controlling so many people at the same time and erasing the memories of half a street with one spell is by no means an easy thing to do.
It can even be said that no wizard can do this.
Even Grindelwald, the most famous dark wizard in Europe today, with his extremely exaggerated notoriety and various outrageous legends, is not said to be able to control an entire street of people with a single spell.
However, regarding Tina and Newt's questions, Chen Mo just smiled and said to Newt: "As I told you, wizards are still very low-level in exploring their own potential."
"Wizards are still very low-level in discovering their own power? Why do you say that? What is going on?" Tina was digging deeper, wanting to know what was going on and how Chen Mo did this.
of.
But Chen Mo didn't want to talk about it at the moment. He just said to the two of them: "Okay, let's go up and find Mr. Newt's box and Mr. Jacob first. Judging from the damage to the street, I'm afraid that
Even though the box was opened, a lot of things inside came out."
Hearing what Chen Mo said, Newt's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and rushed into the building.
Upon seeing this, Tina hurriedly followed, but Chen Mo let go of his senses and searched for all the magical creatures that had just escaped from the box in New York City.
Although he released these animals and planned to use these animals to cause some incidents, Chen Mo did not intend to let the situation get out of control.
After confirming that all the animals were under control, Chen Mo took Yi Xi's hand and entered the apartment building where Jacob's family was located.
This is a very common apartment building in this era. Even in New York a hundred years later, this kind of apartment building is still very common, and it is the main choice for the poor and the lower class people.
However, these buildings in this era look relatively new and not very old. Although you can still see the surface of the wall peeling off and exposing the bricks and other damage inside, thanks to the durability of the brick structure buildings, these buildings even
It will still be inhabitable a hundred years from now.
Of course, no matter how durable this apartment building is, it still cannot hide the fact that it is actually a matchbox.
In a space of about ten square meters, there is a small living room and an equally small bedroom. In addition, there is a kitchen and bathroom that can only accommodate one person. It is barely enough space for one person to live.
.
From a residential perspective, it is barely acceptable to live in such a place in this era if there is only one person.
After all, the wages of lower-level workers are not high, and the rent for an apartment like this is not expensive. It is just within the range they can afford. It is not impossible to bite the bullet and buy it, and they will not lose their jobs like a hundred years later.
You will become a homeless person, even if you reach the middle class.
Chen Mo raised his cane and knocked on the wall. What he heard was a dull sound, which proved that construction in this era was still conscientious, unlike in the United States a hundred years later, where many walls were simply hollow wooden structures, and people could be hidden inside.
.
While Chen Mo was looking at the apartment, Newt had already picked up his box and closed the lid.
But his face looked very bad at the moment. It was obvious that he had already counted how many animals had escaped and what kind of impact these animals would have in New York.
Tina ran to Jacob who fell on the ground and helped him up.
But Jacob was still unconscious at this time, and there were still some wounds on his body, which seemed to have been caused by the animals when they rushed out of the box.
Seemingly seeing how pitiful the fat uncle was with his injuries, or because her parents were both doctors, Xiao Yixi was still very sympathetic to this kind of thing.
She took out a beautiful crystal bottle from a small bag she carried, came to Jacob, squeezed a drop of red liquid from the crystal bottle and dropped it into his mouth.
As the liquid dripped in, Jacob's wounds healed visibly.
However, although the wound was treated, Jacob did not wake up. He was still unconscious. Even if Tina pulled out her wand and "resuscitated" him, she could not wake him up.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to put away her wand, then stood up and looked at Newt, asking him with concern: "The box was opened? Did an animal escape?"
"Yes, it opened a crack, but it's not a big problem, it just ran away..." Newt was not good at lying, but he still said after he said a few times: "About one or two, don't worry it's not a big problem.
"
As he spoke, he pretended to be relaxed and planned to leave with the box in hand.
Tina immediately stopped him and said to him: "You can't just leave. We must find your animals and handle this matter properly."
"Well, I'm just going to find those animals." Newt said. For him, dealing with those magical creatures made him feel more relaxed than dealing with people. He was also more happy to deal with those animals rather than a human.
.
However, Tina said: "I'm afraid not. You violated the confidentiality law. I can't let a criminal suspect roam the streets of New York."
Speaking of this, Tina thought that there were Newt's animals running around outside, and it would be impossible not to let him catch them, so she added: "As for those animals, I will go with you to catch them."
After saying that, she reached out to help Jacob, as if intending to pull him up from the ground.
But Jacob's fat body obviously exceeded the weight that a woman could lift, so Tina was almost brought down by him.
She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yixi and Chen Mo who were standing aside. After thinking for a while, she said to Newt: "Help me lift him up. He is injured. We can't leave him here."
Newt glanced at Jacob and had a pretty good impression of this Muggle who had been in contact with him before. So he carried his suitcase in one hand and helped Tina pull him up from the ground with the other and held him on.
Got him.
Tina looked at Chen Mo's uncle and nephew beside her, and said, "You two, please come and hold my hand, we can't stay here."
"Apparate? Will it be too heavy a burden for you to bring four people together?" Chen Mo was not familiar with this magic, but in his impression, the original description of this spell said that this spell requires careful operation.
Spells, and apparating people together will greatly increase the burden.
But Tina obviously didn't care that much at this time, and just motioned to Chen Mo and Xiao Yixi to hold her.
The scene changed in an instant, and Tina successfully led them to another place.
"This is my home. Although I can't bring a man back, there is no other way." Tina looked a little embarrassed. This was her sister's home. She had never brought a man back before.
Newt wanted to argue, but Tina stopped him.
The two of them supported the unconscious Jacob and carefully walked into the apartment, which looked much taller and more spacious than Jacob's house before. Xiao Yixi wanted to go up to help, but was held by Chen Mo and did not
Let her intervene.
The group of people arrived at Tina's house without any danger, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and could sit down and talk about this matter.
"So Mr. Chen Mo, who are you? Could it be that you are Grindelwald, but you just drank the polyjuice potion?" Tina first set her sights on the powerful and unidentified Chen Mo, and
He also took out his wand and pointed it at him.
However, Chen Mo just snapped his fingers, and Tina's wand turned into a rope, binding her hands and her whole body.
"Miss Tina, I admire your imagination, but if I were Grindelwald, you would be dead by now." Chen Mo did not wonder why Tina suspected that he was Grindelwald, but he also did not explain himself
Regarding the idea of identity, he just smiled and said: "You can treat me as an unrelated person who takes my niece on vacation. In this matter, I just want to watch the fun. As for other things, it has little to do with me."
"Okay, Grindelwald is not going to take a little girl around, but I hope you can abide by the relevant regulations of the Magical Council of the United States during your stay in the United States. Otherwise, even if I can't catch you, the Aurors of the Magical Council of the United States will.
I won't let you go." After hearing what Chen Mo said, Tina still didn't quite believe what he said, but when she saw little Yi Xi next to him, she didn't think that the Dark Lord Grindelwald would bring a little one with him.
The girl nodded to show her understanding.
Seeing this, Chen Mo untied her restraints and returned the wand to her.
As for Newt on the side, Tina was no longer too lazy to ask him, and she had almost asked all the questions she should have asked before.
"So the most important thing right now is to find the animals that Newt lost. After all, they are magical creatures and too dangerous for Muggles." Tina concluded and asked the question to Newt.
: "So what are you going to do?"
"I will find all the lost animals." Newt was focused on his animal friends at the moment and wanted to find them immediately: "If they attract attention or cause a bigger problem,
Before the news.”
Hearing what Newt said, Chen Mo, who still wanted to watch the fun, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not easy. Those animals are running everywhere. How can you get them back by yourself? I think
