Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 191: Dark tide
"Hogwarts in another world ()"
If it was a few months ago, someone told Mr. Jim McGoo that there are mysterious forces in this world, then he must think that the other party is a lunatic.
"Are you kidding, I'm a staunch materialist!" Jim would say, "Those weird and mysterious things are all deceiving children in fairy tales, no one really believes those evil spirits, right? ?”
In such debates, Jim always "wins"!
Mr. Jim McGoo is a weather announcer. His daily task is to forecast the weather for the next few days to the public... This simple and interesting job has been going on for more than ten years.
And in the past few months, the situation seems to be all messed up!
A grotesque hurricane that appeared without warning in southwestern Wales almost flattened a city and caused considerable casualties; the forest fire in the highlands, also without warning, has lasted for more than a month. extinguished, so that the sky in many surrounding cities became as dim as it was in the nineteenth century; Kent, Yorkshire, Dundee and other places, almost every week, witnesses called to say that they saw the meteor shower...
There have been more weather anomalies in Britain in the past few months than in the past hundred years.
For this reason, the Meteorological TV Station has received countless complaints, and the public has continued to complain, which also puts Mr. Jim McGoo under great pressure.
Not only in the UK, but all over Europe——
Monaco was hit by a super tsunami once in a millennium. Since it happened to be the holiday season, local residents and tourists suffered heavy casualties. The Charles Bridge in Prague suddenly snapped into two sections in broad daylight, leaving more than a dozen A car plunged into the river; a strange and highly contagious virus appeared in northern Italy and quickly spread throughout southern Europe; there were also frequent disappearances in Northern Ireland...
All kinds of evidence have shown that everything this year is abnormal.
If there is a God, then perhaps he wants the human race to perish.
Or maybe...
…
Compared with the current abnormal natural situation, what makes Jim more suspicious is the actions of the official departments.
With regard to the natural conditions that have frequently occurred in the past few months, the official has hardly done anything, even the final rescue work of the Welsh hurricane was finally carried out spontaneously by the people...
And the Prime Minister's biggest and most controversial move in recent months is to call for a full range of disarmament... To be honest, in Jim's opinion, maybe he is crazy?
What is total disarmament? It refers to reducing the number of British military personnel, including the police and the army, to one-tenth of the current number within one year (the Prime Minister’s original plan was to lay off all British military personnel within three months, but due to too much unrealistic and eventually give up).
This hasty and ridiculous disarmament plan, Jim really doesn't understand how it passed the parliamentary resolution?
Could it not be considered that the Prime Minister is crazy, but the hundreds of members of the House of Commons are all crazy?
There is also the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was originally the most staunch opponent of the Prime Minister. Jim thought he would stop all this... But the strange thing is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has always been against the Prime Minister, this time because of this ridiculous resolution, He actually wore the same pair of pants as the Prime Minister!
All in all, it all looks so weird that it's hard not to think of something.
Add to that some gossip from The Sun claiming that the Prime Minister is a homosexual with weird tastes. According to the photos they secretly took, the Prime Minister has been with a man wearing a strange black cloak day and night for several months, and has never been separated...
Originally, this news can be said to be absurd...
The fact that The Sun was quickly shut down seems to be verifying this from another aspect.
The world is crazy!
For these circumstances, Jim couldn't find any reason, so he could only comment in this way.
…
Until one Sunday half a month ago, when he went to the local church to worship, he suddenly encountered a little "accident"——
The pastor in the church suddenly became very emotional during the service.
He described impassionedly to the believers that all the anomalies that have appeared in the past few months were all created by wizards without exception!
According to church records hundreds of years ago, there is a powerful mysterious force in this world: wizards... For thousands of years, they have been fighting against human beings to the death. Wizards, and wizards don't know how many Muggles have been slaughtered...
It was not until three hundred years ago that wizards gradually disappeared, and some things about wizards gradually became legends...
But now, they're making a comeback! All this is caused by them, they want to destroy all human beings!
The pastor's words are impassioned, but obviously not very convincing...
Although the series of anomalies that have appeared recently are very abnormal and suspicious; but it would be too ridiculous to use the excuse of "wizard" for all of them! The "witch hunt" in history has long been defined as ignorance and ignorance in the Middle Ages...
Including Jim, he doesn't believe it.
Until three days later, he suddenly saw a piece of news in the local newspaper——
The impassioned pastor died suddenly in his residence!
And when the autopsy report came out, it became even more terrifying.
A team of doctors examined the body and concluded that the priest had not been injured by poison, sharp weapon, pistol, smothered or strangled. In fact he looked healthy--except for one point, which was dead.
In addition, the doctors noticed (as if they were determined to find something wrong with the corpse) that the pastor had a look of horror on his face-as if he was scared to death alive !
At the same time, the doctors also mentioned that such "sudden death" incidents with similar symptoms have occurred extremely frequently recently...
There are more than a dozen cases in the UK every week, and sometimes even dozens of cases...
…
Mr. Jim McGoo was terrified!
At the same time, he also had some shakes in his "faith"!
He didn't believe in such a "coincidence"... Based on what he knew about the pastor, the pastor had always been healthy and often participated in marathons... Such a sudden death was really unreasonable.
Then the only explanation... Maybe it could be that he spread some "truth" that caused some organization to kill him in a special way?
Are you a "wizard"?
During the next week, Jim was terrified in his dreams. A mysterious monster broke into the door and killed him, who knew the "truth".
But fortunately, that kind of thing didn't happen, it seems that those murderers didn't have time to pay attention to such small characters as themselves...
Finally mustering up the courage, Jim began to contact those neighbors who also attended that service——
Together they started a little "party"...
There is no doubt that everyone is terrified... because of the pastor's "accidental" death, everyone is in danger.
They are also eager to know what the reason is...
At this time, a strange-looking woman quietly told everyone that the pastors of the church have suffered extremely heavy casualties recently, and most of them were "sudden deaths" because of this, without giving any reason!
The Pope himself has never made any comments on this. In fact, he has not been seen outside for several months... and the news of a large number of priests' "sudden death" has never been reported in any newspaper... Just like the high-level people in European countries, it has become mysterious and strange!
"Could it be that he is real?" Jim asked in disbelief, "Now exists..."
Just before he was about to say the word "wizard", the woman stopped him quickly.
"Don't say that word!" she whispered, "I heard that disaster will come to anyone who mentions that word!"
Of course Jim understood what a "disaster" was, so he quickly shut his mouth obediently.
"Could it be that there are really those guys who can't be mentioned..." He changed his name ~IndoMTL.com~ and asked curiously, "What is their purpose?"
"They want to rule and enslave us..." The woman explained patiently, "The government has been manipulated by them, they can manipulate thoughts... The same is true for all mouthpieces, those who dare to speak the truth will be punished '..."
"Then...then...what should we do..." Jim stammered, "They look very powerful, and we seem to be powerless..."
"We must unite!" The woman said with a serious face.
Then, she took out some leaflets from her pocket... and distributed them to everyone present.
The contents of the flyer are basically the same as what the pastor said that day... It briefly introduces the existence of wizards, their purpose, and the high-level government that has been ignored and manipulated...
"Thank you so much!" Jim carefully put the flyer into his pocket.
"Remember to tell this news to as many people around you as possible..." the woman reminded, "Only when more and more people know the truth, can we have the capital to call on everyone to resist them together!"
"I understand!" Jim nodded.
As a weather broadcaster, if you want to spread some news to as many people as possible... He is really suitable for this job!
Although it would definitely take a lot of risk to say it directly, but with Jim's ingenuity, he felt that he could "make a point"...
The party is drawing to a close.
"By the way, ma'am, what is your name?" Jim asked curiously as he left.
"Dursley... just call me Mrs. Dursley..." the woman replied with a smile.
