The right way to attack Moriarty

"(Japanese) A remnant soul is detected, do you want to activate the Onmyoji system?"

It sounds so strange, it is completely different from what my mother and brother said.

"Mom, why can't Newt talk yet?"

Theseus looked at his one-and-a-half-year-old brother, a little worried.

Theseus has just turned 11 years old this year. He officially received the admission letter from Hogwarts. He also has a bunch of friends. Apart from getting together to make trouble, they occasionally show off their brothers and sisters—the 11-year-old Tixiu Si began to know that his younger brother, who was still unable to speak at the age of one and a half, seemed to be a little developmentally delayed.

"Well, is there any magic that can help young children learn to speak quickly?" Theseus waved his first magic wand and rummaged through the books in the study, shhh, quietly, Theseus quietly put away his illegal wand Well, he turned his head and looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that his mother was not looking at him, he smiled triumphantly, quite proud that this wand was a spoil he had snatched.Even if the school wanted to record traces, they couldn't find him.

"Theseus, give up your bunch of outdated thoughts. Your brother's magic power is not as strong as yours, and the level of magic power perception is weaker. It's nothing. Don't worry. Don't use magic on him lightly, it will hurt him too much .”

"Oh, okay." Theseus left the study resentfully, holding his chin, watching Bai Nen's younger brother babbling and gesticulating.

"(Japanese) A remnant soul is detected, do you want to activate the Onmyoji system?"

I have repeated it several times, why is this person still talking?

annoying.

I'm so annoying.

How annoying, the one and a half-year-old Newt kicked his legs impatiently, what does this man talk about every day, even while eating and sleeping, how annoying.

Theseus looked at Newt, and when he started babbling again, he could only look at his younger brother with worried eyes.

"Why can't you learn to speak?"

half year later.

Newt finally learned the first English word-"Theseus", and jumped up on the spot after amused Theseus.

"Call again, brother, come and listen?" Theseus teased him over and over again, tirelessly.

Newt imitated the pronunciation of Theseus, "Brother—brother—"

"Well, longer? Like—"

The annoying voice sounded in his ears again, Newt rolled his eyes, followed the voice suddenly, and repeated——

"(Japanese) A remnant soul is detected, do you want to activate the Onmyoji system?"

Theseus sighed when he heard his younger brother start babbling again.

"Oh, forget it, one sentence a day, and you can learn to speak before the age of three."

Newt also sighed. It seems that my brother doesn't understand this sentence.

In fact, Newt's talent in language is not bad. Since he learned to speak the first sentence of English at the age of two, he has been able to express his thoughts very well in less than a year. For example, now——

"Mom, I want to learn Spanish, French, Russian—"

Newt scrambled towards Helen.

Helen hugged Newt and kissed him on the cheek: "Oh, baby, why do you have such thoughts?"

"Theseus laughed at me, mom, he said I'm a dumb little guy who can't speak, I have to learn many languages ​​and beat him!" Newt clenched his little fists and punched his brother beside him.

"Oh, little mute, be careful you won't grow up again." Theseus stood aside with folded arms. He is now a third-year student.

"Mom, look at brother!" Newt twisted back and forth in Helen's arms, taking the opportunity to complain to his brother's black hair.

In the end, Helen didn't approve of Newt's going outside to learn foreign languages. A three-year-old child is too small to be placed anywhere, and it's not safe.

What's more, there is no specialized foreign language institution in the wizarding world. If Newt had to learn it, he could only send it to a Muggle school.

A three-year-old little wizard—couldn't control his magic power very well, was rashly sent to a Muggle educational institution, and the fate can be imagined.

However, although Helen did not agree with Newt to go out, she was very supportive of learning foreign languages. She bought a lot of magic books for Newt—popular science books for children, and bought some from all over the world—turning the pages of the books, will Someone automatically read the content, and Newt just flipped through the small picture book and listened to the words of various countries when he was free.

Finally one day, when Newt was flipping through a book of Japanese myths, he heard a very familiar word——

"Onmyoji".

This word that has lingered in his ears for three full years, he finally heard it again somewhere else!

Five-year-old Newt wept with joy. He carried a thick book of Japanese myths and ran to Helen.

"Mom, I want to learn Japanese!"

"Oh, baby, your brother was just teasing you back then, why are you still fussing about it?" Helen rubbed her forehead.

"Mom~" Newtley was in Helen's arms, "I want to learn Japanese!"

"Japanese is a bit difficult. The wizarding world rarely communicates with Japan, or—" Helen tried to discuss with Newt, "go to a Muggle school?"

"Muggle?" Newt frowned, a little unhappy, "Forget it, let's go to the bookstore in Diagon Alley and buy some magic books!"

"Honey, that's not okay, you can't discriminate against Muggles." Helen tried to convince Newt.

Newt got down from Helen's arms with a disdainful expression: ""So what, the lives of Muggles are so fragile that they can't even withstand a single forgetfulness, and," Newt looked up at his mother with a look of disdain. Seriously, "I hate my name! "

Theseus happened to come in from outside the house. He had just returned from summer vacation today, and when he came back, he heard Newt's last sentence, and whistled happily: "Look, mom, we have a baby Slytherin."

Theseus put down the box and stood like that, looking down at Newt. The 15-year-old boy had begun to show coercion, and Theseus’ strong magic power even shocked Newt’s soul. Newt was a little scared, But he didn't show it, but stubbornly looked at his brother.

Theseus stared at Newt for a while, then turned to Helen and said, "Forget it, Mom, let him do what he wants."

Newt breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would not change his mind no matter what, the release of Theseus today saved him from having to work so hard to bury his thoughts. If you want him to change, then he must hide a lot of his thoughts and pretend to be the same as everyone else, so that he won't be disgusted.

Newt has always remembered clearly that he just followed that unknown voice first, learned to speak Japanese, and spoke English a while later, only to be looked at strangely by his brother and neighbors next door. This kind of feeling is really uncomfortable. Well, Newt doesn't want to be different from everyone, so he has to seriously dress himself up to look like everyone else.

But he didn't want to do the same at home.

That's tiring.

Fortunately, he has a considerate brother.

The Newt family lived in a wizarding town, just a few minutes across Diagon Alley, very close.Helen took Newt, and after eating, they took a walk to refresh themselves, and then they could go to a bookstore along the way.

Theseus followed suit.He needs to buy some new textbooks.

"Oh, Theseus, go and turn around the textbooks yourself. I'll take Newt to look for the foreign language books he wants to buy." After entering the bookstore, Helen turned her head and told the eldest son.

"No problem." Theseus smiled at Helen, turned his head to the sixth grade area, took out the book list, and looked for the new textbooks requested by the professors.

Newt followed his mother to the foreign language books section.

Helen flipped through a few books, and Newt kept shaking his head beside him. These were not what he wanted, and Helen felt a little helpless: "Newt, as I said, Japanese books here are hard to find, you wait here for me, I will Go ask the shopkeeper if there are any other Japanese books in the warehouse."

"Okay, Mom." Newt nodded obediently, opened a Japanese book casually, frowned and listened to a lot of chatter in it.

"Hi, do you like Japanese culture too?"

Newt looked up at the person coming.

A head of thin, curly hair was combed back neatly, the corners of his eyes were bent down, and he seemed to be smiling when he said anything casually.

"Can you get that book for me? It's the latest Japanese manga. I've been waiting for it for four days."

The child is not tall, and he can only reach the books on the lowest floor by tiptoeing. Newt used his five-year-old judgment to quickly come to a conclusion—this is an object that he does not need to guard against, because the other party It was too weak to cause any harm to Newt at all.Of the few people Newt knew, this was the only one who held no intimidation to him.

It's not that Theseus and Helen need to be on guard, but Newt's nature is to pay attention to people and things stronger than him, and to quickly find countermeasures. This is an instinct.

For example, if Helen and Theseus criticize Newt's thoughts today, Newt will restrain his true thoughts instead of changing his thoughts according to Helen and Theseus's thoughts. When Newt's behavior was disturbed by outside forces stronger than him, he subconsciously found a measure.

The boy was still looking at Newt anxiously: "Help me."

"Okay." Newt nodded, and stretched out his hand to help the boy reach for the book. When his hand touched the book, the book spontaneously read his name—"Hundred Ghosts at Night", Newt stretched out his hand Come to a halt, he asked.

"What is this comic called?"

The boy blinked his big eyes, his double eyelids made his eyes big and energetic: "Hundred ghosts travel at night."

Newt nodded and reached out to give the book to the boy in front of him.

"[Japanese] remnant soul——"

"So it meant ghosts."
