The male Muggle kept cursing. Xenophilius observed him for a while and determined that he did not seem to be accompanied by anyone, so he stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, sir. But the roller coaster is about to start. Uh … I … I think we should hurry up and get on the roller coaster."
Xenophilius pointed at the impatient guests. The middle-aged man Muggle looked at the crazy guy who suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked at the guy's exaggerated outfit and asked in confusion, "Sorry, sir. What are you …"
"Do you want to ride with me?" Xenophilius's words stunned the middle-aged man Muggle. Xenophilius gulped and quickly glanced at the roller coaster. He explained, "My companions have finished riding the roller coaster. I'm not very lucky. I'm the only one left …"
Ignoring the strange man in front of him, the male Muggle straightened his body, tiptoed, and looked into the distance. He muttered, "Boy, you're fast."
After that, he took a few steps toward the exit as the staff whistled anxiously. But after a moment of hesitation, he turned around angrily. As the last person left, he could only sit beside Xenophilus. Then, he buckled his seatbelt with a snap.
Xenophilius had already taken off the hat on his head and held it in his arms, revealing his white hair that looked like cotton candy. When the male Muggle sat down, he asked curiously, "Sir, why are you riding the roller coaster alone? Are your family members sitting at the back? "
The anger on the male Muggle's face had not dissipated. He leaned back heavily on the chair and said angrily, "I'm here alone. Can't I?"
"Of course … Uh … But sir, you're surrounded by a lot of annoying bugs." Xenophilius patted the middle-aged man Muggle with the hat he took off as if he was chasing away a lot of invisible moths. "They're invisible. They'll float into your ears and mess up your mind. Sir … You have a lot of bugs buzzing around you. It's dangerous. "
The middle-aged man Muggle looked at Xenophilius in shock. He tilted his head and dodged the hat that almost hit his nose. He then moved away from him. He looked at the colorful robe on Xenophilius's body and tried to figure out Xenophilius's tone and words. The man in front of him was dressed so strangely, and his words were incomprehensible. It seemed that this man was either mentally ill or an artist who was mentally ill.
Noticing the male Muggle's expression and the female Muggle's reaction, Xenophilius grabbed his hat tightly and said to himself sadly, "Pandora … It's all that boy's fault. My daughter and granddaughter aren't close to me anymore … My Gorgon Juice and Gorgon Root Tea can't get their attention … What's so good about that boy? He won't even let a bird go … My daughter won't let me say …"
The middle-aged man Muggle heard Xenophilius's ramblings. He did not understand some of the words that Xenophilius said. What did he mean by "won't even let a bird go"? But the middle-aged man understood that Xenophilius was just like him. His daughter had also met a scumbag. He suddenly felt that this weirdly dressed guy was much more pleasing to the eye.
But without warning, the roller coaster suddenly started. Both of their necks flashed back, and with the sound of the chains creaking, the roller coaster began to enter the small dark room in front of them.
The middle-aged man Muggle who was leaning sideways to listen to Xenophilius could no longer maintain his original position. He leaned back against the chair.
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
The startled man Muggle turned his head to look at Xenophilius. Their eyes met. The two looked at each other. Xenophilius said, "Oh, that gave me a fright. Your ride isn't running smoothly."
"Yeah, that's weird. It's not usually this strong …" The middle-aged man Muggle cursed.
"Looks like neither of us is very lucky today." Xenophilius's brows furrowed strangely. Even though they had just entered the room, the darkness made the two of them relax.
"When I'm in a bad mood, I like to go to the amusement park alone." The middle-aged man Muggle's tone was much friendlier. "My daughter has grown up. We're not that close. My wife doesn't like to come here either."
During the climb, Xenophilius's boots shook unhappily. "I used to live on the mountain with my daughter, but she doesn't accompany me anymore. My granddaughter doesn't like to stay with me either. After work, I can only stay at home to write some manuscripts …"
The middle-aged man was surprised that Xenophilius had to go to work. However, when he heard about his granddaughter, he was unsure of his age. He couldn't help but ask, "Granddaughter?! How old are you … Ah! "
Amidst the screams, the roller coaster that had climbed to the fixed point started to dive down like a cannonball. It was extremely fast. It moved forward rapidly and made crazy turns. Xenophilius leaned on the middle-aged man Muggle next to him. The middle-aged man Muggle wanted to dodge to the other side, but there was limited space. He couldn't completely get rid of Xenophilius. He stared at Xenophilius's side profile and grabbed the handrail stiffly. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
However, their awkwardness was soon resolved. As the roller coaster spun and flipped, their bodies swayed along with the roller coaster due to inertia. The male Muggle leaned on Xenophilus's shoulder. This was only the beginning. Although the track of this roller coaster didn't look too big, it was actually very long because of the excessive rolling. The difference between the highest point and the lowest point was very large, so the roller coaster was very fast. As the roller coaster spun round and round, Xenophilus and the middle-aged Muggle's emotions were gradually stimulated to the point that they were on cloud nine.
"It's … like … being bitten by a Billy Wigg Worm …" Xenophilius's white hair that looked like cotton candy was messed up by the wind. "I like … this … feeling … the feeling of floating …"
"Oh my god … I didn't realize it was so fun to ride this before." The middle-aged man shouted happily. A few wrinkles appeared at the corner of his narrowed eyes. "Wait, buddy, your hat is gone."
"Oh? It's true. " Xenophilius was originally enjoying the scenery as he climbed. When he heard that, he looked down and realized that the hat in his hand was gone.
The middle-aged man reminded him, "You can tell the employees later. You know, people often drop things when they ride this."
"It's okay …" Xenophilius said with a serious face but a nonchalant tone. "My wife and daughter always say that the things we lose will always return to us in the end."
"Your wife is a person full of wisdom." The middle-aged Muggle responded with a serious face before the roller coaster crossed the top of the slope and started again.
After another series of rolls, Xenophilius, who had his hands free, imitated the Muggle passengers around him. He raised his arms and waved for a long time. When he saw the pair of brothers in the front row celebrating, he clenched his hand into a fist and swung it at the middle-aged Muggle.
The middle-aged Muggle only stayed silent for a few seconds before he raised his fist and swung it at Xenophilius. Thump! The dull sound of a fist hitting was heard. Halfway through the ride, when the roller coaster began to slow down after passing a big circle, the two middle-aged men laughed wildly and happily.
After the rollover, the roller coaster braked suddenly. With a loud squeak, Xenophilius and the middle-aged Muggle's head jerked forward.
"Here we go again …" The middle-aged Muggle massaged his neck. He felt that the cervical spondylosis he suffered from all year long working at a desk seemed to have been cured by this sudden pull.
"That's right. It's like I'm suffering from forgetfulness … I actually forgot about this." Xenophilius shook his head and complained, "This seems to have given me cervical spondylosis."
After braking, the roller coaster slowly moved forward and entered the platform. When the roller coaster entered the platform, it seemed to be slower than Allen's ride.
Xenophilius and the middle-aged Muggle sat there. Xenophilius looked at the platform and sighed. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He mumbled, "This is what it feels like to be hooked by a barracuda …"
Xenophilius turned his head and looked at his seatmate before the roller coaster entered the dark area indoors. He found that the middle-aged Muggle turned his head away unnaturally and did not look at him. He thought the middle-aged man felt the same because he seemed to be more absent-minded than his daughter.
Finally, the roller coaster entered the platform. After it stopped, the tourists who had just taken the roller coaster still had not recovered from the excitement, but they still got up from their seats and rushed to the exit, chatting and laughing.
Xenophilius and the middle-aged Muggle also got off the roller coaster, but they did not speak. When they reached the exit, Xenophilius tidied up his fancy clothes and extended his hand to the middle-aged Muggle. "Nice to meet you, sir."
"Yes, me too, sir." The middle-aged Muggle reached out and shook hands with Xenophilius, but he deliberately looked to the side and did not look at Xenophilius. The two shook hands for a while. Then, the middle-aged Muggle noticed the people around them looking at him and quickly pulled his hand back.
"Then, sir, I have to go walk around and see if I can meet that scumbag again." The Muggle said goodbye to Xenophilius and left without looking back.
"I have to go look for my daughter and granddaughter." Xenophilius sounded like he had drunk a large cup of Gordigan tea. He coughed dryly and waved at the middle-aged Muggle's back. Then, he walked in the same direction, ready to go to the Ferris wheel.
"Mr. Goodloff, your hat." Suddenly, a man's voice stopped Xenophilius. He turned around and saw that it was an armed member of the Umbrella Red Department. The man handed him the hat he had just thrown away.
Xenophilius put the hat back on his head and shrugged. He looked at Aura. "Thank you. I have to say, you guys are really something. I didn't notice you guys were following me."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mister Goodloff. However, it is someone else who is following you today. I just happened to see that you lost your hat. Please forgive me. I have to catch up with my target." The Umbrella Adept bowed to Xenophilus and quickly walked away.
"Pandora is always right, although the way they came back is a little unexpected." Xenophilius adjusted the hat on his head and slowly moved forward. When he was about to leave the entrance of the roller coaster area, he glanced at the roller coaster ticket booth and stopped. There was a big screen there, playing videos of the tourists on the roller coaster.
The female Muggle he met earlier was holding a photo of her nephew and niece and walking toward Xenophilius. When she saw Xenophilius, she pulled the children and walked in another direction.
Xenophilius observed for a while and found that the video was not very clear. The photo in the Muggle's hand did not move. But when he saw the video of him punching the male Muggle on the screen, Xenophilius shook his head and walked forward.
Xenophilius touched the gold coins in his pocket. "Oh, yes. I have to use the Muggle's money." Then, he looked up at the price list. "… Hmm? It costs so much to print a photo of a Muggle that doesn't move?! "
Xenophilius shouted in shock when he realized that he did not exchange enough pounds at Gringotte. Then, he turned around and walked out. He planned to go to the Ferris wheel to ask his friends for some Muggle money. Suddenly, he felt a burning gaze on him. Behind the green field in the distance, the male Muggle was holding a photo in his hand and looking at him with a hurt expression.
Xenophilius did not need to use Telepathy to know what the male meant. "Am I not worth this little money?"
