Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

"It's indeed a big secret, but who knows?"

Jack did not deny Levina's speculation, but he was confident enough that his existence would not be exposed.

"Then I don't know." Levina shook her head.

"Think about it carefully? Maybe it has something to do with your work?" Jack did not let go of every possibility.

"My job?" Levina tilted her head and thought for a while, "I work as an operator. Although I have access to some secrets, it doesn't mean that I really know a huge secret... …”

Levina is a telephone operator.The specific content of this job is to wait for the phone to ring in a wiring room.

After the call is connected, the other party will tell her which place the call should be transferred to, and then all Levina has to do is transfer the call there.

This kind of work is very unimaginable for future generations.

There is no way, in Levina's current era, technology has reached this level. Although there are things called phones, they are very, very old-fashioned and the most basic style.

There is a real physical line connection between the two phones.

If you want to make a direct call from location A to location B, you must have a line responsible for the connection.

If you want to make a call from location A to location C, you have no choice but to pull a new line.

For such an inconvenient phone call, if you want to save the cost of pulling the line, concentrating it somewhere and transferring the line is the best solution.

Such is the nature of Levina's work.

She said she has never been exposed to secrets...

That's impossible.

As long as she is careful, she can definitely know who called whom on a certain day of a certain year and month.

Said she had been exposed to secrets...

It doesn’t really make sense.

She is only responsible for forwarding the line. It is impossible to know the content of the other party's conversation.

Unless, she eavesdropped.

In the future digital era, there are many ways to eavesdrop on the content of calls.

In this era, all you need to do is connect the microphone to the line, and the value of its eavesdropping technology is even lower than that of later generations.

"Have you overheard anything important?" Jack didn't believe Levina's words.

"There are some." Levina hesitated, "But it shouldn't be something very important."

After speaking, she felt a little nervous, not knowing whether her words would be recognized by Jack.

There was no way she could remember any very important secrets she had heard.

In other words, there is no such secret at all.

Therefore, I have no impression.

"Well, that makes sense." Jack agreed with Levina's words.

However, his recognition is not based on Levina's self-understanding, but a judgment of the current situation.

Those guys who broke in seemed to be working as a team.

The doors of every house were broken open and people broke in.

Then, everyone who had someone inside was pulled out and taken away.

If anyone resists, they will be beaten severely without any intention of holding back.

Jack did not see all of the above, but heard it.

He could still hear the screams from the building next to him.

"Then... what should we do now?" Levina asked in confusion.

This has never happened to her.

To put it bluntly, even if the world is in decline and the order is on the verge of collapse, such a thing has never happened.

After all, even Sin City has its own order, right?

Acting in such a reckless manner is really more bizarre than a cunning villain, and even less unreasonable.

"Go to the window first and take a look. Be careful to hide yourself." Jack didn't say anything more, but gave the order first.

"Okay." Levina did as she was told.

She touched the window, hid in the shadow, and looked out.

The window faces the street.

There were many people standing in the street.

The hands of these people were tied, and it was obvious that they did not come to the street voluntarily.

Many of them had blood on their faces, and they didn't know if they had been beaten.

If you look carefully, you can see that those people with blood on their faces are not male or female at all.

Proportionally, more women appear to be injured.

Some of them had cloth strips tied around their mouths, as if to prevent people from making too much noise.

Looking into the distance, there were several trucks parked probably at the end of the street.

The men were pushed and kneaded, put on trucks, and then taken away.

"What...what is going on?" Levina looked at this scene in shock.

"Maybe you can't live here anymore." Jack's focus was on another aspect.

"What's wrong?" Levina was puzzled, "Why?"

"Look at those people." Jack motioned to Levina, "That apartment with a triangular roof, at its door."

"People? Who?"

Levina followed the instructions and looked over.

Several people wearing uniforms with blue background and gold patterns appeared in the field of vision.

They held their weapons and watched nonchalantly what was going on in the streets.

Guard members.

These people are all members of the escort team!

At this moment, a man rushed out, got in front of the escort members, and shouted: "Guards! Come and help us! These guys appear out of nowhere and want to catch them." Let’s go to weird places!”

In response to his cry for help, one of the escort members raised his sword and slapped the man to the ground immediately.

Several more men rushed over.

They did not rush towards the escort members, but pressed the man firmly to the ground, then took the rope and tied him tightly.

"Why?!" the man shouted desperately, "Why are you just watching? Aren't you here to protect us?!"

The man's cry quickly disappeared as a piece of cloth was tied around his mouth.

Then, he was dragged onto a truck and sent away.

The entire street returned to its previous order.

"What...what does this mean?" Levina was confused.

The performance of the escort team members was completely beyond her expectations.

The duty of the guard is to protect the city and ensure its safety.

Divided according to functions, it can be regarded as one of the military and police.

For citizens, members of the Guard should be good people who stand by them to ensure the safety of their lives and property.

Even if these good people give priority to serving the upper class, they will not ignore their needs too much.

If you meet a member of the escort team who has a strong sense of justice, they will serve the general public wholeheartedly.

All in all, the members of the Guards are at least on the side of the citizens.

but……

From what I saw just now, they didn't seem to care at all that ordinary people were being taken away inexplicably.

This kind of development is like...

"This seems to be a special mission."

Jack watched all this thoughtfully.
