Chapter 50: Do you want to die once?
Do you want to die once? I didn't see the colorful chrysanthemums, morning glories, peonies, hibiscus, and manju sawa on the delicate kimono, nor did I see all kinds of beautiful fans with cute and round patterns, only the big moist yellow eyes that looked a little ruthless and a little cold.

Then, Xie An fell to the ground with a heavy slump.
I don't know how long it took, maybe for a moment, maybe for eternity, Xie An felt the coldness of the rocks in the corridor again, Xie An closed his eyes, his head was full of painful wails, and there were constantly chaotic memories rushing out of the sealed mind, wantonly raging in Xie An's subconscious, and his limbs were still twitching slightly at this time, making Xie An unable to move. Xie An struggled to open his eyes, making sure that the Fusang Wood Staff was still in his hand. The dodo snuggled nervously in Xie An's arms at this time, just now, Xie An's heart seemed to stop beating, and then Xie An's body twitched violently a few times, and then his heart beat violently again.
When Xie An opened his eyes and looked at the corridor, he could only see the body of a long snake the size of a bucket swimming rapidly, the huge snake head was facing away from Xie An, the giant snake seemed to sense Xie An's movement, turned the snake head to look at Xie An's side, the upright snake head almost touched the roof of the corridor, and the snake head was the size of a lion's head.
The emerald green scales shimmered in the light of the campfire, a pinch of scarlet bird feathers on the top of the huge snake's head, like a crown, and the scarlet letter continued to expand and retract from the dagger-like fangs, and the big round yellow eyes leaked a humanized expression of confusion and surprise.
With his knowledge of the Doomsday Weapon, Xie An quickly deduced that this was a powerful unknown deadly ray, and just now, he seemed to have died once, but fortunately, his body did not seem to be festered or decomposed by radiation. The chaotic thoughts in his head and the crazy beating of his heart are warning Xie An, extremely dangerous! He may be killed at any time at this time!
"Chirp!" A sharp voice came from an unknown place, Xie An felt his spirits lifted, and the basilisk on the opposite side did not launch a second attack, but shook his huge body in fear, and turned to swim towards the corridor.
Xie An didn't dare to move the Fusang wooden staff in his hand, he didn't even dare to get up from the ground, at this time, he was like an ant, and it didn't take much time for the basilisk to kill him. But the chirp seemed to make the basilisk aware of the danger, and it swam away without looking back.
After the basilisk's huge miserable green body swam away, Xie An picked up the dodo without hesitation, got up from the ground, and ran quickly to the corridor.
"Damn!Is Hogwarts a school or a safari park, even if you raised a troll last year, but this year you still have such a dangerous biological weapon, it's unbelievable! What kind of school is this, just change the name to Biochemical Arsenal!" Xie An ran as far away from the basilisk as possible, and when he approached the middle of the castle, a fiery red bird shadow swept over his head.
"Phoenix! Dumbledore's phoenix, it seems that this is the phoenix that just cried. What is the situation at Hogwarts, the phoenix that can control the flames, the green snake that can kill people with his eyes, I don't know if there will be a one-legged cow, a sheep that can never be fed, could it be that Hogwarts is actually a biological laboratory?!" Xie An didn't have the slightest desire to follow the past, he just wanted to stay away from the huge green snake dozens of meters long at this time, fortunately, when he was hit just now, the big snake didn't swallow himself in one bite, otherwise even if he had a life-saving trick, he would be a dead end if he was put in the stomach by the big snake.
After raising Hogwarts' danger level to the maximum, Shayne went outside the Ravenclaw common room. At this time, Xie An, who was very sensitive to all monsters, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the statue squatting outside the lounge, and the Fusang wooden staff didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"The snake or the egg, which comes first?" The monster statue asked routinely.
"The wizards appeared first, and the wizards who went crazy appeared first!" Xie An replied directly without thinking about it. These monsters are all researched by those crazy people.
The sphinx monster seemed to be confused by Xie An's answer, and its long tail slowly swayed behind it, making Xie An can't help but think of the terrifying memory about the python just now, and his face is even more difficult to look at.
"Young wizard, you seem to have answered a hidden answer, but I'm not sure if you really think so, so I've decided to add one more question, and if you can answer it, as is customary, you'll get a fun reward!" the damn Sphinx-like statue asked in a flat tone after a leisurely thought.
Andrew Lee, who had just died once, had the heart to play a guessing game with this boring idol, Xie An replied directly: "There is only right and wrong in the answer, there is no distinction between hidden and unhidden, if I answer correctly, please let me in, I am very tired now." ”
"Right logic, that's a Ravenclaw merit. But young students, you also have to learn to be calm, which is a good habit that all Ravenclaws should maintain for the rest of their lives. Okay, I'll just let you agree, then the second question, listen well, the question is: What is a wizard?" The magical statue first glanced at Xie An indifferently, not caring about Xie An's anxiety at all, and then asked the final question in a calm tone.
Xie An couldn't answer this question, and he didn't want to answer it, so Xie An replied directly with the standard answer from a Muggle study textbook: "A wizard is a human being, a kind of person who can cast spells. ”
"It's not a new answer, and it doesn't seem perfect, but it matches one of the four answers I remember about the question, and I've counted it all. The statue shook its tail reservedly, making Xie An nervous and almost point his wand directly at it.
"Then talk about it, it's your reward, take it. A golden key appeared directly from the air, and then fell into Xie An's hand, Xie An took the shiny, brand-new golden key, there was no joy in his heart, and hurriedly put the key into his arms.
"Okay, now that I've passed, can I go back to my bed and rest?" Xie An said impatiently.
"You know, young man, I've spent my whole life learning to be calm. I have never heard of an old Eastern saying, "There is a saying in the old East, you can't get there..."Today this magical statue seems to have a great desire to speak, and it seems that it wants to speak at length again.
"I've only heard of ten thousand words, it's better to be silent, you better hurry up and open the door!" Xie An couldn't help but attack this statue.
The statue muttered as it opened the door to the lounge, and Xie An quickly rushed inside.
"What is a wizard? What a strange question, I think they should ask, what is a Squib, I'll tell them directly, it's a Muggle..."
Qiu and Luna were not there, thinking of the warning of the bloody man Barrow, Xie An, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but secretly exclaim. The joy of escaping death didn't last long, was he the target of the basilisk attack, or was it just a coincidence? Who got the basilisk to Hogwarts, did Dumbledore know that there was such a monster roaming the castle? If he was the target of this attack, then the problem was serious!
Unfortunately, Xie An knew so little about this basilisk that he didn't even know what it was called. Judging by its gaudy scales, the serpent may be highly venomous, and it also has the powerful ability to stare to death. Usually a huge monster with a strong immunity to magic, this basilisk is a powerful killing weapon entirely.
Is the guardian of Slytherin's legacy the Bloody Barrow the Serpent the Serpent crazy? This Serpent clearly attacked himself in Hogwarts uniform, so if the Basilisk accidentally attacked the students of the Slytherin cadets, wouldn't it kill its own people? Or was the Basilisk actually insane, or was the Slytherin ordered it to kill all the living creatures it saw? Who would risk their lives to claim the Slytherin legacy? Or has someone else given it a new order? So what is this order, kill everyone at Hogwarts? Despite the great snake's might, Shean didn't think it could compete with Dumbledore.
Xie An, who had no clue at all, didn't think to report this life-and-death matter to the school, in his opinion, since the phoenix had rushed there, Dumbledore naturally knew something. And from Xie An's heart, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to Hogwarts, but the Li Manor, where he has lived for a long time, is Xie An's real home.
Unlike Potter, Xie An grew up, his family was complete, his parents loved him, and he couldn't simply make a magical school his home. Like ordinary children, he has a complete family that loves him, although he himself has great psychological problems. But if Shean said to the Countess, "Hogwarts makes me feel at home." "I don't know how sad the Countess will be, and it's not at all fair to the Countess. If Harry Potter's uncle's family was a kind and selfless family, and over-doting Harry had raised Harry to be as domineering, selfish and stupid as their only son, Dudley, Shayne couldn't think of any way Dumbledore would have done to change this irreparable damage.
Unless, Dumbledore had already thought about it, he chose a miserable childhood for Harry, so that he could understand the truth that the heavens would descend on the people!
Based on this logic, Xie An also raised Dumbledore's danger level, and then his first thought was to quickly inform the Earl to be careful, the enemy attack may have arrived. Xie An, who had gasped slightly, hurriedly found a piece of parchment and hurriedly wrote on it: Be careful, the enemy's attack begins! After a few words, he tied this piece of paper to the dodo's feet, and then ordered the lucky bird to go to Hogsmeade to report the news.
The dodo looked like he was leaving the land of right and wrong in a hurry, fluttering his short wings, and running away.
"Andrew, you haven't gone to rest yet?" Michael Corner, who was in the same dormitory as Xie An, came in from outside with a tired look and saw Xie An lying on the sofa, and sat on the sofa in frustration.
"I'm a little tired today, what about you, it looks like you're not having a good time today?" Xie Anxin replied nonchalantly.
"Oh, it's actually not bad today, I was studying in the library, but a first-year Gryffindor girl suddenly fainted, and I went to help. Do you know anyone from Gryffindor, I see you're pretty close to Hermione Granger of Gryffindor. There was an expectant look on Michael's face.
"Uh? You mean Ginny Weasley? How is she?" Andrew, who has been worried about his own life, will think of Ginny who fainted in the library before, speaking of the day when the bloody Barrow came to warn him, Xie An also saw a familiar red-haired figure in the library, could it be that Ginny that day?
"Ahh Andrew, would you like to introduce me to her?" Michael, who was still a little depressed just now, seemed to see hope, and hurriedly asked Andrew to introduce himself to Ginny.
The exchanges between the colleges, as Professor Lupin said, are still very marketable. But the premise is that you have acquaintances in other colleges, otherwise it will be difficult to open the door. When Michael sees Ginny's pretty, slightly baby-fat face, he finds that he can't forget that he desperately needs a bridge to help him get to know this little beauty.
After listening to Michael's words, Xie An moved his body uneasily, there seemed to be something in it that he ignored, remembering the diary he had suspected before, and combined with the coincidence of two Ginny, could it be that Ginny actually participated in this conspiracy? But the elf's intelligence clearly pointed out that the target of this attack was the Weasley family, so Ginny was actually the first target of the basilisk, and he was only implicated? But the bloody Barrow made it clear that he was the one whose life was in danger!
"Hey, Andrew, what do you think, and if you agree, I can treat you to Duke Bee for a meal. Michael asked expectantly.
"Well, actually, I don't know Ginny well, but if I have a chance, I can introduce you. It's not too early, we'll have a dormitory too. Andrew replied casually.
At breakfast the next day, a golden owl landed in front of Xie An, Xie An took down the letter, fed the owl some fries, the owl ate some, drank some juice from Xie An's cup, and flew away satisfied.
"Ann, is it a letter from the Countess?" Autumn came to her boyfriend's side dressed in her neat Quidditch gear, there was a Ravenclaw Quidditch game today.
"Don't you have to take a class today? Xie An opened his letter and talked to his girlfriend.
"Andy, you're really confused, it's Saturday, we don't have classes!We're going to play Hufflepuff in the morning, can you go and cheer me on?" The girlfriend unceremoniously brought Xie An's breakfast plate to her, and happily picked a few cherry tomatoes to eat.
Xie An shrugged his shoulders helplessly, took out the Earl's letter from the envelope, and read it. The letters sent through the owl generally do not involve any secrets, and Xie An can read his family letter boldly without turning it into sand.
After reading the letter at a glance, Xie An's heart relaxed slightly. It turned out that the Earl had long since left England, which was on the cusp of the storm, and was already living happily with the Countess on the Champs-Élysées Avenue in Paris! There were also several Muggle photos accompanying the letter, the Countess was trying on Muggle designer women's clothes, a sleeveless purple dress with a decent cut of silk fabric, and the price was very high, and it was worn on a Ravenclaw beauty full of intellectual beauty, which fully reflected what it means to be graceful and luxurious. Through the refraction of the dressing mirror, you can see that the Earl is taking pictures of his wife with a happy face.
After being shown affection, Xie Ansheng gave the photos and letters to his girlfriend without love. I thought to myself: this world is really amazing, I was almost killed by a basilisk dozens of feet long yesterday that emitted a miserable green light, and at the same time, my parents are happily traveling and shopping in Paris.
I also know a little bit about Muggle cameras, so I won't wonder why Muggle photos don't move. She looked enviously at the photos of the Countess choosing perfumes and clothes, and secretly decided that she must let her boyfriend take her to Paris to play this Christmas.
