Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 640: underestimate the enemy
Thirty seconds ago, Tom, who used magic to control Ginny Weasley's body, had been silently paying attention to the spot on the diary representing Albert's ink dot, waiting like a viper to step into his body. attack range.
Tom came to the basilisk, intending to let the Muggle wizard be killed by the eyes of the basilisk, to be able to witness the truth of the matter with his own eyes. This is the last mercy given by Voldemort.
However, Tom's bad taste doesn't work out.
After a few seconds, things took an unexpected turn.
The ink dots marked Albert Anderson on the diary suddenly stopped moving forward, turning around and leaving in the direction from which they came.
Tom was stunned in place for a few seconds. The first reaction when he recovered was that the other party noticed the ambush, so he turned and left.
No, it should be said that the Muggle wizard knew from the beginning that he would let the basilisk attack him, so it was not too surprising that he would react like this.
Just, how did the other party realize that he was going to attack him here, or that the other party was just planning to wander back and forth in the nearby corridor, trying to lure himself into appearing?
Neither the former nor the latter really makes sense to Tom Riddle.
Albert's unusual behavior really disgusts Tom.
It would be a disgrace to just watch a prey take a bait and slip it away from you.
Tom even wondered if the rather clever guy was deliberately provoking himself in this way.
Since the ambush failed, Tom didn't want to wait any longer. Without any hesitation, he immediately hissed from his mouth, and directly ordered the basilisk beside him to catch up and kill the guy.
Due to the Easter break, most of the students in the castle went home for the holiday, and the number of students who stayed in the school was limited, and the students who stayed at the school were asked by Professor McGonagall to stay in their common room or book In the pavilion, most of the Hogwarts Castle was unoccupied, not to mention that Tom had been using the Footprint Spell to spy on the entire castle, which was why he was able to find Albert.
Of course, it doesn't matter if someone stumbles in. After Dumbledore was kicked out by his tricks, no one in the school could stop him.
After receiving the master's order, the basilisk twisted its body excitedly and chased in the direction of Albert's escape.
That's the prey, the food the owner allows it to eat, making the long-starved basilisk's eyes even more horrifying.
The basilisk's eyes were fixed on the fleeing figure in the hallway, hissing slightly as if to say, "...rip you...kill you...eat you... "
Although Albert did not understand snake language, the cold gaze from behind him and the sound of the basilisk's heavy body sliding across the marble floor made the hairs on his back stand up.
Felicity (Intuition) is frantically reminding him not to look back, not to look back, he will die, he will be killed by the eyes of the basilisk.
Under the pressure of death, Albert ran quickly.
Even if he didn't look back, he knew that the basilisk had caught up, and as expected, the basilisk was faster than himself.
"You can't escape!"
Tom Riddle came out of the corner and looked at the fleeing back in front of him, a happy smile on his face.
The basilisk is getting closer and closer to Albert, about to pounce on him and tear him to shreds.
However, the smile on Tom's face froze.
He saw the muggle wizard throw something behind him, and a large, eerie cloud of yellow smoke suddenly rose from the corridor.
Tom can tell from the basilisk's hiss that the basilisk seems to hate the smoke and the smell in the air.
Actually, Tom could smell the irritating odor that made him uncomfortable from afar, and had to use the Bubble Head Charm to isolate his head from the outside world to prevent himself from inhaling the poisonous gas in the corridor.
"Is that what you're relying on?" Tom murmured, finally understanding why the Muggle wizard had the courage to challenge the basilisk. It turned out that he had found a way to expel the basilisk.
Tom finds this little trick ridiculous as he swings Ginny's wand, causing a gust of wind to sweep away all the poisonous gas that fills the hallway.
"Don't let him escape, run after him and kill him."
Tom continued to issue orders to the basilisk in Parseltongue to continue chasing the embarrassed figure in front of him, daring to provoke his fellow, Tom would never allow him to escape like this.
Albert is not as embarrassed as Tom thinks, and the Flux has boosted his physical fitness well, and he has been exercising a while ago, so Albert is still able to do it well.
Fear, fear
It's a bit.
Everyone is afraid of death.
The Fuling Potion allowed Albert to keep his head calm, even thinking about how to use the props he prepared to blind the Basilisk's eyes and kill it.
I can fight back!
This is probably Albert's current state of mind.
Yes, his mind is slightly inflated.
The Elixir (Intuition) reminded him all the time that it was easy to kill the basilisk by relying on the previous preparations.
What really frightened Albert was the basilisk's eyes, and as long as he blinded the basilisk, he had countless ways to kill it.
When there were countless ways to kill the basilisk in Albert's mind, a new quest even appeared on the quest panel, which made him feel unbearable and wanted to try to kill the basilisk that was chasing him behind him.
However, Albert quickly suppressed the churning thoughts in his mind, never forgetting his purpose, and he knew better that "I can fight back" is just an illusion, and he will die if he tries.
Just a little bit, there's nothing wrong with it.
Kill the Basilisk.
That was Harry Potter's mission, and there was absolutely no need to risk his own life.
Well, now?
There's no such thing as an adventure right now.
Perhaps, in Tom's eyes, the basilisk chased Albert to flee, but Albert knew that as long as he didn't stop, the basilisk behind him would not be able to cause himself to be prepared. life-threatening.
Albert pulled back some distance while the repellent bullet blocked the basilisk.
The Flux (Intuition) is reminding him again that something big must be done to force Tom into the Chamber of Secrets with Ginny.
Bringing this process forward is also the main reason he is here now.
Actually, Albert felt that he threw a few smoke bombs made of dark powder, blocking the sight of the Basilisk for a moment. Taking the opportunity to set up the scene, there is a chance to kill the basilisk, or create a lot of trouble for it, but the idea of stopping was eventually rejected by Albert.
The real enemy is not necessarily the basilisk behind him, but may also be the growing confidence.
Albert threw all the sticky **** behind him, instantly creating a large sticky area behind him.
This obviously won't trap the basilisk, but it can cause some trouble for the basilisk.
When the basilisk wriggled its body through the sticky area, its movement speed dropped a lot.
"That **** guy!"
Seeing this scene, Tom Riddle felt as sick as swallowing a fly, and waved his wand to remove the large sticky area in front of him.
Albert Anderson, however, took the opportunity to pass the corner and disappeared from Tom's field of vision.
When Tom catches up again, he finds that Albert Anderson has disappeared from the hallway, he knows that the other party did not use the Disillusionment Charm on him, because the Disillusionment Charm has no effect on the basilisk.
Tom turned his attention to the diary in his hand for the first time. The ink dot on the map marked Albert Anderson was in the classroom on the side of the corridor.
What the **** is that guy doing?
Give up?
Or are you prepared to stick to the classroom and wait for other professors to come?
Albert's bewildering behavior made Tom confused, and he looked at the classroom where Albert was hiding, and the entrance door was sealed by magic.
When the basilisk slammed into the door, Tom Riddle discovered that the classroom was actually a trap prepared by Albert for the basilisk.
There was an eerie darkness in the knocked-open classroom door, a darkness that even light couldn't penetrate.
The moment the basilisk slammed into the door and broke into the classroom, two puppets controlled by magic immediately attacked the basilisk with a rusty axe and a long sword.
Rusty axes and longswords slashed at the basilisk's scales, but failed to deal substantial damage to it.
However, the most incredible thing for Tom was that there was not only an ambush in the darkness of the classroom, but also a rooster's hoot.
The rooster, which the house-elves had raised for months, was finally released from the Poké Ball by Albert, and was terrified after hearing that two brave knights in armor were run over by a basilisk called.
When the basilisk heard the rooster crowing ~IndoMTL.com~ immediately panicked and burrowed out of the classroom, making a loud noise and nearly knocking Tom down.
Even though Tom's mouth continued to hiss, the basilisk couldn't calm down again.
Fleeing for life.
There is probably no better word to describe today's Basilisks.
Rooster
There are more than one roosters in the school, listening to this sound.
At this moment, Tom felt that he had been punched so hard in the face that he even had his nose crooked.
He knew he had made a foolish mistake of underestimating his opponent.
It's all over!
Tom is ready to kill the Muggle wizard who dared to fool himself.
After he waved his wand and rolled the black smoke in the classroom out of the window, he found that there were only a group of roosters croaking in the classroom, only the desk damaged by the basilisk and the crushed knight armor.
Where are you going?
There is no shadow of Albert now.
Tom Riddle immediately looked at the diary, and the dots marked Albert Anderson had completely disappeared from the diary.
"Asshole, I must kill you!"
Tom feels his cheeks are hot, like he has been slapped several times, and he doesn't know that he has been fooled by Albert Anderson. No one has ever dared to fool Voldemort like this.
Other professors have sensed the noise here and are coming here.
Before leaving, Tom looked back at the classroom, still not sure how the guy disappeared from under his nose.
