222 Chapter 22, Curse

Dawn came over the sea again.

Hoffa was sitting cross-legged in the cabin, meditating deeply, when a piercing whistle suddenly sounded outside the cabin.

This sound is not like the bell when the cabin is opened on the ship, nor is it the noise of the sailors playing cards on the deck.

It's sirens.

He got up from the bed. Come to the deck in three steps and two steps.

The weather was foggy at the moment, and the air was filled with the dullness before the rainstorm. There were several sailors with binoculars standing on the deck.

"what happened?"

Hoffa asked the sailor.

Seeing him coming, the sailor handed him the binoculars without hesitation, "Someone is chasing him."

Hoffa took the binoculars involuntarily and looked into the distance. Through the round lens, he could see a warship riding the wind and waves in the mist. It was fully armed, and the turret on the top was as magnificent as a steel building.

Compared with that warship, this freighter of mine is as small as a mouse under the feet of an elephant.

Obviously, this is a German warship.

He put down the binoculars with a stunned expression, and held on to the railing tightly.

It is not difficult to accurately locate a ship in the vast sea, but it just so happens that there is another ship on that ship, and there is such a big battle, it is obvious that they only do this because they know their position.

Cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, why are these guys able to locate so accurately?"

When he first started on the road with Chloe, he vaguely knew that those German wizards would not let it go. But he obviously ran to the sea, but their ghosts still linger.

He felt something was wrong.

At this time, Chloe and the widow also ran onto the deck because of the sirens and began to ask the sailors what happened.

Hoffa turned his gaze to Chloe and stared at her for a long time.

How did those people know where they were?

When I was in Paris, I was able to accurately find my home and escape to the sea, and it is still the same.

He walked over to Chloe.

When the nun saw him coming, she was still angry because of what happened yesterday, and ignored him, but the little widow, Mary, immediately grabbed his arm.

"What's going on, are there any German wizards looking for Frank, have you lied to me!!"

She didn't know Chloe's identity and ability, and only thought that the warship came to find Frank.

Hoffa didn't answer the disturbed widow, just looked at Chloe.

Chloe was angry: "What do you see me doing?"

"Is there something on you?"

"ah?"

"Have they done anything to you, otherwise how could they always chase you so accurately?"

"I have no idea."

I don't know. He circled around Chloe, closed his eyes, and only used his mind to observe the other party. Sure enough, in the black-and-white spiritual world, he could see a faint black air lingering behind the pure white Chloe.

Everyone else didn't understand his behavior of closing his eyes and turning around. Only the nun was very angry. No one would like this kind of X-ray feeling.

She crossed her arms: "Don't tell me you suspect that I have leaked the unknown."

Hoffa opened his eyes, pulled her to the corner without any explanation, and lifted her clothes. With this kick, he gasped, and stumbled back two steps.

I saw five or six pairs of eyes densely packed on Chloe's originally white and smooth girl's back. Those eyes blinked constantly, and there were many blue and red vein-like blood vessels around the eyes.

Looking at the squirming eyeball and the blue-red tentacles behind it, he couldn't help feeling sick to his stomach.

The touch of the beholder, no wonder those dark wizards can accurately locate themselves.

In the year since he came out of Hogwarts, he has also been exposed to a lot of strange curses. It has to be said that although this kind is not top-level danger, it seems to be one of the most disgusting.

Chloe didn't know the horror on her back, she only knew that Hoffa suddenly pulled herself to a corner, and lifted her clothes, even her bra.

As a woman, she tugged on her clothes vigorously, her face turned blue with anger: "Go away, Bach, what are you doing!?"

"Don't you feel it?" Hoffa asked against the wall.

"I just feel like you bastard is home!!"

Under the nun's makeup, the veins on her forehead popped out.

"On the back."

"My back has been a little itchy for the past few days, but that's none of your business, do I want to tell you about my itchy back!?"

"See for yourself."

He didn't want to explain to her, so he directly pressed the bulkhead of the cabin.

The metal cabin formed a small triangular prism-shaped space under the effect of the deformation technique, and Chloe was housed in it, and then the interior of the triangular prism turned into a smooth refracting mirror.

Within three seconds, a sharp, high-pitched and frightening scream came from the triangular prism.

Hoffa raised his hand and withdrew the Transfiguration, and the triangular prism slowly disappeared.

At this moment, the nun no longer had the anger she had just now, she sat slumped on the ground, her face was pale, and she looked like a ghost.

"What, what, what's going on!?"

"The touch of the beholder," Hoffa explained softly, "can parasitize on the living body, feed on vision and information, and share the location of the parasite with the black magic of the caster. Those dark wizards must be touching When it comes to you, it will plant a mark on you."

"I don't know at all. Ugh!"

Before she finished speaking, she threw herself on the railing and vomited into the sea.

Mary poked her head out from the corner. She thought that Hoffa was going to hurt Chloe, but when she saw Chloe throwing up on the railing, she rushed out and patted Chloe on the back with concern.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Chloe said hoarsely with tears in her eyes: "Help me. Lift this curse."

Hoffa looked solemnly into the distance and shook his head.

"No, not now."

"why not!?"

Chloe grabbed Hoffa's arm firmly.

"Come on, when I think I've got something like that on me."

As she spoke, she was about to vomit again.

"Those people must have located you through beholders, I'm afraid our actions these days are completely in their eyes.

If it was lifted now, then the last place the beholders observed was this ship, and they would definitely come to this ship. Once they came, everyone on this ship would be doomed. "

Chloe calmed down a little.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Stay away from this ship, at least turn their attention away first, lift the curse elsewhere on the sea, and then return to this ship."

"good."

Chloe didn't have the slightest thought of refusing.

The two came to the gunwale, and Hoffa untied a small lifeboat from the cargo ship, threw it into the sea, and jumped aboard himself.

The group of sailors and armed mob were stunned.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Run away now, you are too cold-blooded!"

Some even cried: "Don't leave us!"

Obviously they were still in a tense confrontation yesterday, but today they regard Hoffa as a life-saving straw, looking at him like the Romans look at Caesar.

Hoffa roared angrily: "What's the noise, I'll be back in a while!"

It had no effect, and the battleship in the distance was like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head.

They firmly believed that Hoffa was going to leave them and run alone, so they also began to lift the lifeboat. There was chaos on the freighter for a while, with children crying, sailors yelling, and mobs raising guns.

"enough!"

Chloe yelled again, and her voice seemed to contain some kind of strong stabilizing effect.

"I won't leave you guys behind, but now we have to lure those people away, otherwise none of you can escape."

"How do I know what you said is true?" a sailor shouted.

"In case they

Chloe: "I"

At this time, Hoffa sneered again, and he sneered mercilessly: "Do you think in your capacity, if they really want to arrest, do they need to dispatch warships? They are looking for us, we leave now, you You should be grateful."

His words contained some kind of insult, but inexplicably made the crowd calm down. They left the strings of the boat one after another, as if eager to distance themselves from him so that he could escape earlier.

However, just as the two were about to leave, the widow Mary suddenly climbed onto the strings of the boat and shouted, "Wait a minute."

Chloe and Hofazzi stood on the lifeboat and looked up.

"Take me with you!!"

cried Mary, sweat dripping from her white china doll face.

"this"

Hoffa hadn't expected her to make such a decision. Obviously what I said is very clear, why are there still people who are still obsessed with it.

Chloe: "You wait for me on the boat, I'll be back in a while."

"no!"

Mary turned her head to look at the crew, gritted her teeth, picked up her skirt without saying a word, jumped off the deck, and landed on the lifeboat.

Turning over and getting up, she grabbed Chloe's arm with a pale face: "I'll walk with you, honey."

"you"

Chloe still wanted to persuade, but Hoffa held her back.

"Follow if you like."

After taking a deep look at her, he directly started the motorboat and galloped away into the distance.

On board the battlecruiser Scharnhorst.

The three wizards in black robes sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed. Some kind of inexplicable power linked the spirits of the three of them together.

Mance, on the other hand, turned around around them with his hands behind his back.

After a while, one of the black robes opened his eyes, "Leaving, deviated 30 degrees from the planned course, and headed southeast."

"Abandon the ship and leave, divert your attention."

Mance rubbed his chin: "It seems that Grindelwald's student has discovered the magic mark on Miss Flamel."

"What should I do, which one should I pursue?"

"LeMay and Bach will be left to Major Dominique, and we will get the ship under control," Mance said.

"What do you do with a ship without Flamel?"

"Then you don't know."

Mance laughed: "For a person like LeMay, leaving others and running away alone is more uncomfortable than killing her directly.

So, don't look at her leaving now, but she will definitely go back. As long as we have control of that ship, she will come back to us of her own accord sooner or later. "

On the rough sea, three speedboats broke through the waves and galloped towards a lifeboat in the distance.

When he was ten nautical miles away from the cargo ship, Hoffa stopped his lifeboat, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and looked at Chloe: "Do you want to take it off yourself or not?"

Looking at the gleaming sharp point of the dagger, Chloe swallowed, her face gradually paled.

"Is there no other way?" She said bitterly. "

Hoffa put down the dagger, and turned his gaze to Mary, who was covering her mouth in confusion, "Why don't you come."

"I'm here. Why?"

Mary looked at the dagger in front of her with a dazed expression, "Shouldn't we run away quickly?"

"Help her with an operation."

Hoffa put the knife in Mary's hand: "Get the eyes out of the back of her."

After speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at the two of them.

Mary looked at the small dagger in her hand, not knowing what happened.

Chloe sighed, took off the corset through the coat, handed the corset to Chloe, then knelt on the deck and lifted the clothes.

"ah!!!"

But when she saw Chloe's back, Mary was so frightened that she threw the white corset and dagger out of her hand, and screamed while covering her mouth.

"What are those!?"

Chloe: "Track the black magic, come on, get rid of it and we'll go back."

"Don't, don't let me do it!"

Covering her face, Mary kicked her legs back to the edge of the lifeboat.

"Mary, that thing won't eat you!"

"That doesn't work, you let him do it!"

Pointing at Hoffa, she shouted without hesitation.

Hoffa sighed, turned around and picked up the dagger on the ground.
