Am I going to die?Being strangled to death by Will?This way of death is too funny.

Ella suddenly wanted to laugh. The monster in the factory failed to kill her, and Professor Anderson who turned into a monster did not hurt her. But in the end, she was strangled to death by such an ordinary person on Smith Street because of greed?

But at the same time, she also felt a sense of peacekeeping. That cowardly cousin would actually kill herself?This may not have nothing to do with this incident.

"But this is nothing to do with me anymore. I'm going to die soon." The girl thought, slowly letting go of her hand and giving up her struggle.

"Let me go of her!"

A white shadow came out of the darkness and kicked Will hard in the face!

That kick was so sharp that it almost knocked half of Will's teeth away, causing the fat young man who had begun to take shape of Henry to fly away.

The shackles around Ella's neck suddenly disappeared. She took a sharp breath of cold air, covered her throat with her hands, sat up on her knees, and began to cough violently.The uncontrolled tear glands blurred her eyes, and she could only see a white figure as agile as a cheetah.

Ella wiped her eyes as the white figure approached. It was Ling with short black hair, wearing a white hunting suit and dressed like a boy.

Ling first gave Ella a hug, and then looked her up and down.

"How are you?!"

Ling's gaze rested on Ella's snow-white neck, and a few bright red finger marks were shocking.Ling's expression became ferocious almost instantly, and she pulled out the dagger from her waist without hesitation, it was a polished Cossack dagger, the edge was still rough, but it could definitely kill!Will fell on the side of the road, already passed out, completely at the mercy of others.

But Ayla grabbed her arm, covered her neck with her collar, and shook her head.

"Ling, I'm fine, don't be impulsive!"

Ella was a little scared. The actual combat that Adolf said was really important. She had mastered more than ten spells and was almost killed by an ordinary person. Although this had a lot to do with her not taking precautions against Henry's family at all, luck was inevitable. If it is copied, it will die if it dies, no matter what reason you find.It's not that Adolf didn't teach her how to save herself in this situation, but on the one hand, Ella was too flustered after being attacked, and on the other hand, her system was indeed too weak.She planned to go to old Jack's later and buy a gun bag and put the revolver within easy reach.

Ella calmed down her breathing and heartbeat, then tapped her eyebrows to activate her spiritual vision. Just as she had guessed, Will's body also had the same color as old Mrs. Morris.

She called Ling and dragged Will into the alley.Ling's mind was filled with thoughts of all kinds of things, and her whole body was shaking with excitement.

To her disappointment, Ella just set up a few candles and built a makeshift altar.

Ella, who had already experienced once, completed the prayer ceremony very smoothly. There was a dead fish in the silver cup. Like the mouse in the Morris house, this eel, which is common in the Thames River, has been mostly rotted, and its body is weird. There are large and small green eyeballs.

"What is this? Isn't it disgusting?"

"I can't tell. It's probably like a curse. I've already written to Professor Kleist."

Will, who was in a coma, snorted in pain, one side of his cheek was swollen, it seemed that Ling's kick was really heavy.

Ayla glanced at the man who almost killed her, looked at his thick clothes,

"Just leave him here. He won't freeze to death. He will probably go back by himself when he wakes up."

"Just let him go like this?"

Ella pulled Ling out of the alley without any explanation. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Henry's family anymore.

"Let's not talk about this, Ling, why did you come to London?"

"After Christmas, the old man allowed me to come out. I found out that you live at 304 Smith Street, Whitechapel, London. I planned to give you a New Year's surprise."

"It is indeed a surprise, otherwise I would be dead, by the way, where do you live?"

"I don't know yet, but you will take me in, right?"

Ella smiled. This was her reckless roommate who came to London alone to find her without any plans. It really seemed like what she would do.

"Why not? You saved me."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no carriage on the street corner. Ella and Ling simply walked to Yangjiao Street, which took about half an hour.

The snow never stopped, and the two girls kept their body temperature close together as they hurried along the street.The street lights looked a little hazy in the snow, only forming circles of small halos not far away.

The night was already quite deep, and in this weather, there were almost no pedestrians outside. Ella simply recited a spell and let a few flickering fireballs float around them, which dissipated some of the coldness.

Ella told Ling the ins and outs of the matter, and the latter showed an exaggerated expression,

"What, that guy is actually your cousin? I don't know how you survived all these years."

"...He was not so scary before. This must have something to do with that strange curse. You should know what the curse is when Professor Kleist replies."

Just as she was talking, Ella noticed that the surrounding colors became clearer, ripples appeared in the space, and the messenger wearing a top hat squeezed out from inside. After the envelope was handed to Ira, it scurried back into the translucent ripples.

Is the messenger also afraid of the cold?

Ella was a little curious and opened the envelope as she walked. Kleist said in the letter that through the vague influence, although he had several guesses, he was still not sure what the ceremony was.But the effect of the curse has been analyzed. It will consume a certain amount of vitality and strengthen the negative emotions of the cursed person.

Ella thought about it and got some clues in her mind. Old Mrs. Morris should have fallen into a coma after losing a little vitality due to her old age.Will's emotions of greed and jealousy were strengthened.

At the end of the letter, Kleist first appreciated Ella's handling of the curse, and the sun ritual is the best choice to clear the wraith or curse.The principal then advises Ira not to get too deep into the incident.It would be wise to investigate and wait for the Enforcer's support.

They finally arrived under the inconspicuous signboard on Yangjiao Street. Ella pushed open the wooden door of the "Old Man" bar, felt the smell of food and the temperature of the fireplace, brushed off the snow on her body, and suddenly got rescued like before. A similar degree of emotion.

Chapter 28 Sunny

"Sister Ella, you have been gone for a long time. We are all ready to go find you."

Both children had worried faces. Ella had said she would go home to pick up her luggage, but she didn't come back until late at night. This worried Mecole for a long time, while George had been using Ella's identity as a magician to comfort his sister. , and at the same time comforting myself to a certain extent.

"Did something happen?"

Old Jack's eyesight was different from theirs. The bar owner saw Ella's weakness and the red marks on her neck that could not be hidden.He first glanced at Ling who appeared behind Ella, but then shook his head. The thick finger marks clearly belonged to a man.

"It's nothing." Ella winked at him and pulled the collar up a little more. She didn't want George and Mekol to see that she was hurt.

"Let me introduce, she is Ling, and she is also a student of Kraft like me."

"So, Miss Ling, you are also a senior advisor?"

Jack smiled, directed them to an empty table, and beckoned the bartender to serve food.Ling looks much taller than his peers. Jack guessed that Ella was in danger, and then happened to meet a senior magic apprentice. Although there is still some deviation, it is close to the truth.

"consultant?"

Ling was at a loss at first, and then he seemed to think of something, showing a dazed expression,

"Oh, it turns out, boss, you are the person in charge of Whitechapel District."

The tall, skinny bartender brought the food. On the tray were sizzling roast lamb ribs, pan-fried eel, buttered bread and vegetable soup.

"Ling, this is the George and Maykel I told you about just now."

"Ling is a good friend of mine and will be living with us recently."

Ella introduced the two children and her roommate respectively. Without further delay, she inserted a piece of beef into her mouth, but when she swallowed, she frowned slightly and slowed down her movements. The cook at the "Ancient One" bar was not bad at his craftsmanship, but the girl's throat still felt a little sore from the act of swallowing.

Ella cut the bread into small pieces, soaked them in vegetable soup, and ate them in small bites. She looked at Ling, who had the same appetite as when she was in school, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

Jack prepared a guest room for them on the second floor. There were two double beds in the room, one for the brother and sister, and Ella had to share one with Ling.

After Mekel and George fell asleep, Ella quietly opened the door and went out, taking out the alchemy cauldron and various materials, and she planned to prepare a healing potion for herself.

This was originally unnecessary, and that kind of injury would heal automatically within two days at most.Ella blushed a little, and there was a sound in her lower abdomen.

She really didn't eat well at night, and now she feels a little hungry.

Ella smeared the extracted golden liquid on her neck facing the mirror in the bathroom. She first felt a chill on her neck, and then a itching sensation, and the finger marks disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She tried to cough twice, but found that she no longer felt the tingling feeling, so she went down the stairs, intending to buy something to eat.

It is now past [-] o'clock at night, and there are only a few scattered customers left in the bar, which seems a bit empty. Most of them are workers from other places. During the period close to the New Year, they did not earn enough money to go out. Going on vacation or returning to your hometown, there is no need to brave the heavy snow and return to an empty low-rent apartment.Might as well drink bad beer here with a few friends until dawn.

Ella found Ling sitting at a table for two, drinking warmed butterbeer.She saw Ella come downstairs and grinned as if waiting for her.

"Ling? When did you come down? I thought you were asleep."

Ella sat opposite her and asked:

"When you configure the potion."

Ling pointed to the food on the table, where there was a plate of bacon and steaming baked apple pie.

"Num, I ordered it for you. I knew you were hungry. There are only zero to countless times of late-night snacks."

"Yeah, it's all your fault, and I was late for the first spell class!"

Ella replied with a smile, then took a bite of the apple pie, and the slightly hot juice gushed out of the golden meringue.

"Are you going to take Mekel and George to Glamis? They are not magicians, so they may not be able to get used to it."

Ella was silent for a moment, then said:

"Maybe...but at least there they won't starve and freeze, where I can see them."

"Do you regard yourself as their mother? On behalf of the principal, you are only nine years old this year!"

"...I really want to take care of them instead of their mother. What about you, what role do you plan to play during this time?"

Ling drank the last sip of beer, licked the froth off his lips, tilted his head to think about it, and showed a playful smirk:

"Well, I am the poor child labor maid in Miss Williams's manor. What do you think, Miss?"

Ella also laughed, recalling Hyde's face, deliberately put on an arrogant expression, and said:

"Then it's time for you to serve your master and change clothes and rest?"

"Sorry, miss, I'm too full to move now."

"How can there be such a lazy maid who is so good at doing chores..."

They talked and laughed and returned to the room on the second floor and began to rest.

Scattered guests in the bar gathered together, playing poker to kill time, and some people were already snoring on the wine table. The fireplace in the bar was burning all the time. Freeze the body.

The tall, lanky bartender was wiping the glasses, and ignored those people, and had no intention of throwing them out.Most of the people who stay at the "Old Man" bar in this weather and time are regular customers. When they wake up the next day, they will consciously put their money on the bar before leaving.There are no sneaky guests, and even though they are all lower London residents, they still retain a little self-respect here.

The next morning, Ella opened her eyes and felt that her body was a little heavy. She struggled to move Ling's arm around her waist without waking her up. This made Ella feel a little awkward. She had not been with him for many years. Someone else was sleeping in the same bed.

After waking up, she found that she was squeezed into a small corner and almost fell to the ground, while Ling was leaning forward to occupy most of the space of the double bed.

Merkel and George didn't wake up either. They probably hadn't slept in a real bed for a long time, and their sleep was particularly sweet.

The blizzard stopped last night, the streets and roofs were covered with thick snow, transparent icicles could be seen on the eaves, and the Thames River was completely frozen.But there was no howling wind, and the sky was a little brighter.

As such, Whitechapel may enjoy a sunny start to the new year in a few days.
