Lin Ze looked at the three Norway strong men rushing towards him.
He felt a little unlucky today.
Not only was I beaten up by a group of Death Eaters at Yorkshire, but I also got beaten up by three Muggle when I came to Norway.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, don't point this thing at me, be careful of an accident." Lin Ze raised his hands in a standard surrender gesture.
"I didn't do anything, I just passed by. Do you understand when I pass by?"
The strong man running at the front was about 1.9 meters tall. He was wearing a dirty leather jacket and had a thick beard.
He stopped in front of Lin Ze and put the muzzle of his gun on Lin Ze's nose.
"Passing by? Do you think we are blind? What were you doing squatting in front of our children just now?"
"Hey, he's still an Asian chicken." One of the men said with a smile.
"Your child?" Lin Ze blinked, and then pointed at the girl wrapped in a torn blanket behind her.
"You mean her?"
"Bullshit!"
"Oh."
Lin Ze nodded, "Then you treat your child quite special, making her squat under the porch begging for food in the cold weather, while you hide in the house and warm yourself by the fire?"
The bearded face turned red visibly, as if someone had plucked it short.
He moved the muzzle of the gun half an inch forward. "It's none of your business! This is our family matter!"
"Did you just hit our child?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take out all the money you have, otherwise I won't mind walking a few more steps and throwing you into the sea to feed the fish."
Lin Ze frowned slightly and looked back at the girl behind him.
The girl was still huddled under the porch, watching all this quietly with her lake-green eyes.
There was no fear, no grievance on her face, not even a hint of expectation to be rescued.
There is only a kind of numbness and resignation that comes after being abused for a long time.
"There's not even a single injury on her body..."
"Call out--"
"Pah!"
There was a crisp sound, and the girl was whipped hard by another man.
The girl just snorted softly and still looked in the direction of Lin Ze with an expressionless face.
"Tsk... it's really troublesome."
"Okay, okay, don't do anything, I'll give you the money."
Lin Ze put his hand into his pocket, took out a few Galleon, and weighed them in his hands.
The gold coins shone brightly in his hand, making the three strong men look straight in the eyes.
The bearded man swallowed, and the muzzle of the gun unconsciously dropped half an inch.
He has been around Tromsø for most of his life and has seen Norway crowns, pounds, and German marks, but he has never seen anyone carrying gold with him.
"You... what is that in your hand?"
"Are you blind or something? This is a gold coin, pure gold." Lin Ze turned Galleon between his fingers.
The man standing on the right side behind the bearded man had his eyes straightened, and the whip in his hand dropped to the ground with a clatter.
The bearded man raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Lin Ze. The greed and vigilance on his face were intertwined. "Don't fool me! How can any fool now carry gold with him to pay? This thing must be fake!"
"Fake?" Lin Ze flicked a Galleon into the air with his nails. The gold coin flipped several times in the air and made a crisp sound.
"Can it really make this sound? Why don't you take it for a test?"
The bearded man hesitated for a moment, then handed the gun to his left hand, grabbed those Galleons from Lin Ze's palm with his right hand, took one out and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
His front teeth left a shallow tooth mark on the surface of the gold coin, and his bearded face changed immediately.
He took the gold coin out of his mouth and rubbed it with his hands.
"Damn, it's true."
The eyes of the two strong men behind him were as round as the Norway winter moon.
The two people immediately came together, and the three of them crowded their heads together and stared at the Galleon, like three seagulls fighting for food.
"Show me..."
"Give me one..."
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, there must be more on that kid!"
Lin Ze saw the three people turning their attention to him again, and shrugged helplessly.
"Actually, I would rather make a deal with you than this."
"Deal?" The bearded man raised his eyebrows.
"Do you think you are qualified to make a deal with us?" Beard picked up the gun in his hand again and pressed it against Lin Ze's forehead.
"Hey, don't be so rude, you'll scare me." Lin Ze chuckled and flicked the barrel of the shotgun with his finger.
"I advise you not to play any tricks. Just take off all your clothes and hand over all your valuables. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether my gun will go off." Luo Xi said nonsense.
"What?" Lin Ze looked at him with a horrified face, covering his chest with his hands, and looking at the beard with an exaggerated expression.
"I can't imagine, I've already given you money, and you... you still want my body..."
"Give me your mouth..."
Bang!
There was a muffled sound.
Gunshots were fired.
But it was not Lin Ze who fell.
It was the companion behind the bearded man, the guy who had just whipped the girl.
He fell on his back in the snow, with a still-smoldering bullet hole in his forehead.
His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open.
The bearded man and the other strong man were stunned on the spot, their eyes staring straight at the twitching corpse on the ground, the expressions on their faces as flat as if someone had slapped them with a frying pan.
Lin Ze was also stunned for a moment.
"I didn't do this." Lin Ze said in a sincere tone.
"You also saw that I kept my hands raised."
The girl behind them was slowly standing up from the ground.
The dirty gray blanket she was wearing slipped from her shoulders and fell to the ground, revealing her skinny body with only bones left inside.
Her arms were as thin as two dry branches, and her collarbones were so protruding that they could hold water.
There was something surging in those lake-green eyes at this moment.
Lin Ze felt a strong magic power pouring out of the girl's body.
Then a hurricane began to blow around her.
It spreads to the surrounding areas with the girl as the center.
The snow under her feet began to melt, not into water, but directly evaporated into white steam, forming a strange steam ring around her.
The steam was mixed with fine black particles, like crushed coal.
Lin Ze subconsciously took a step back.
He recognized this power.
Obscurus.
The dark energy parasitic in the wizard's body, the magical power born out of extreme depression and despair, will explode out of control when the host is threatened or extremely excited.
"Damn it, labor and management must be at odds with something today!"
Lin Ze abandoned his original intention of teasing the three Muggle and took out his wand from his robe seriously.
The bearded man and the other strong man obviously didn't realize what they were facing.
In their eyes, this was just a mute girl who had been bullied by them for a long time and suddenly stood up.
They were just Muggle, unable to see the black energy rolling in the air, and unable to feel the rapidly expanding destructive magic.
