Chapter Twenty-Seven: Attack! Another attack!
The emergency message was sent by Ron, and the message was very brief and inverted, which probably meant that just as everyone was preparing for battle, there was another attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
All the students immediately returned to their dormitories in their respective colleges, and all the teachers returned to the faculty lounge. Act now! Don't panic, everyone! The dorm is safe! ”
As soon as they left the barrier, Xana and Yukikaze heard the announcement, and Professor McGonagall's voice was repeated throughout the castle, very eager.
Countless Gryffindor students slammed into each other in a panic, and a few visibly frightened people banged on the door with their hastily packed luggage in an attempt to rush out.
"Don't panic, everyone! The dorm is safe! ”
Professor McGonagall shouted hoarsely on the side, trying to appease the students who had obviously exploded, but with little success, and could not take care of one side but not the other.
"Ron, what the hell is going on? What's going on inside the dorm like it's blown up? ”
After several waves of chaotic students, Xana was in Hallie's single dormitory, and Xana found Ron who sent the message, although he and Hallie did not join the chaos army, but they also looked panicked, and there had never been such a gaffe in any previous attack.
"Ginny... Ginny was assaulted ......"
Ron covered his face.
"How is that possible! Everyone was in the dorm lounge, and the basilisk couldn't get in. ”
Hearing this, Xana was so shocked that she even shouted that the monster was a basilisk. The students fled in a panic because of this? That's horrible.
Could it be that even the Gryffindor Lounge has a secret passage for basilisks? But even if there is a secret passage, the movement of a guy as big as the basilisk coming in is definitely not small. Although Gryffindor has now blown up the nest, it is really a basilisk that has entered the dormitory to attack, and the movement must be even greater, and Professor McGonagall has already organized the evacuation of the students instead of blocking the door.
"What is a basilisk?"
Harley wondered why Xana would shout such a strange term, and quickly searched the database, and when she saw that the entry was explained, her face instantly turned white.
"In England, there are many terrible beasts and monsters, the most bizarre and deadly of which is the basilisk, also known as the snake king. The snake can become very large, usually living for hundreds of years, and it hatches from a male egg from a toad. In addition to its deadly fangs, the basilisk's glare can also cause death, and anyone who catches its gaze will die instantly. The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk because the basilisk is the spider's sinister enemy, and the basilisk will only run for its life if it hears the rooster's crow, because the rooster's crow is also fatal to it. Excerpt from "Dangerous Monsters You Never Want to See", Hogwarts Library Scan"
"Oh no! Sister..."
Hearing this, Ron went completely paralyzed.
"Ginny is petrified, and it's not like she's not saved." Xana kicked Ron with her foot, "Ron, you're still not a man!" One of them stood up and picked up his gun to kill the basilisk, which was obviously not as terrible as the book described, and could not even stare at the dead. Slaughter the snake and make it into soup, and then shoot the Slydrin heir out of your sister's anger. When she recovers, you guy can straighten up and say in front of her bed, I avenged your sister! ”
"I'm afraid the basilisk isn't what my sister thinks it is..."
Hallie interrupts Xana's assault on Ron.
"Whoever the basilisk's eyes look at, he will die. But so far, no one has died, probably not because the basilisk has bad eyes, but because none of them have directly looked at it. ”
Harley crossed her fingers and analyzed the hapless people who had been attacked before.
"Colin saw it through the camera, and the basilisk had scorched all the film in the camera, and Colin was just petrified; What about Justin... Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nick, who was almost headless! Nick was stared at by the basilisk, but he couldn't die a second time; I heard that the Ravenclaw girl was found with a mirror next to her. ”
"If that's the case, what about Lady Loris?"
"Water... There was a lot of water coming out of the weeping myrtle's bathroom. I dare say Lady Loris's only saw the reflection in the water..."
"Well, although this basilisk is not too old to even stare at it, its fate will not change, and this guy will definitely be the main course at the year-end dinner!"
Dare to commit murder to Gryffindor on the verge of death, Xana swears. I didn't know what a monster was before, but now it's just a basilisk, even if it's a pure-blooded dragon, it's cut into barbecue meat in minutes.
"But what's the use of killing the basilisk... Ginny... Ginny was captured by the basilisk..."Ron jumped to his feet and yelled at Xana, then fell to the ground like a deflated ball, "... The wall reads, 'Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever'... Ginny... Woo..."
"Wait... What's going on? Calm down and speak slowly......"
With everyone's comfort, Ron finally whimpered and told what he knew.
About half an hour ago, Professor McGonagall's magic broadcast suddenly resounded throughout the castle.
"You said you were shouting half an hour ago?"
You don't have to open the door to hear Professor McGonagall's magical broadcasts in the chaos outside.
"Because the professor is cleaning up the mess all the time. After the radio sounded, Professor McGonagall went into the dormitory to make rounds, and followed Lockhart inexplicably..."
Professor McGonagall is understandable, but what the hell is Lockhart running around? Hasn't he been suspended for review?
"Professor McGonagall went to the girls' dormitory as soon as she came in, and Lockhart gathered everyone together in the break room..."
Hallie said that Lockhart claimed that he was here to make up for yesterday's mistake and to help at this critical time, so that everyone should not worry, the school and he will take care of everything.
But what happened next proved once again Lockhart's talent for death. If you don't do it, you don't die, you don't say it, and you drag the people on the side to die together.
"Students, please don't worry! With me here, the monsters in the chamber can't hurt you. Your professors are the best! ”
If it were Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, even if Snape was yelling here, it would be a hundred times more persuasive than Lockhart, but unfortunately there was only this bale here. What's even more unfortunate is that Gryffindor is the most disadvantageous house for Lockhart, especially after yesterday's incident, even if he was originally a brainless fan, his popularity has decreased a lot after knowing the reason.
"I know that everyone and I had a little misunderstanding yesterday, but it's not a problem, it's just that we didn't communicate enough..."
Lockhart said a whole bunch of nonsense that wasn't really my fault, just that we didn't know each other very well, and then -- he started to die.
"I know that the murder of Ginny Weasley in her dorm room (Ginny was directly identified as 'killed' and the scene of the crime was identified) scares you, but don't be afraid! Your Professor Lockhart is here! I'm about to catch the monster in the secret room, don't panic! ”
Lockhart's words directly caused the entire lounge to blow up.
The little wizards, who were already nervous because of Professor McGonagall's broadcast, and were afraid that something would happen to their friends, were completely panicked. Especially now, after not attacking for several months, everyone has begun to relax, and the attack again has brought a greater impact, and everyone is already panicking, and when they hear that their worst fears have been confirmed, and it is confirmed that they have been killed, the fear in their hearts is completely detonated.
I don't know who screamed, and then it was messed up.
Some of the students hurried to the bedrooms, trying to pack their bags and go home, while others did not even dare to go back to the dormitory, and rushed directly to the door of the dormitory, trying to get out.
Ginny was killed in the dormitory (completely ignoring the fact that the Gryffindor girls' dormitory was really the scene of the crime, and Lockhart didn't even enter the dormitory after coming in from the outside), what if he was also attacked while packing his things, just run, as long as he got to the station and got on the train, he would be fine.
"Don't panic, everyone! Don't worry! ”
No one listened to Lockhart's unassuring cries and went about his course. So Lockhart did another act that left everyone speechless, he fired a spell at everyone, trying to calm the panicked little wizards, the effect was very strong, the problem was - it was the opposite effect.
"That magic wasn't meant to soothe people at all. I'd rather he used a slumber charm, and everyone was stimulated by that strange magic, and even Professor McGonagall couldn't calm everyone down. ”
Ron broke down and recounted Lockhart's death. At the end of the day, when he realized that the situation was completely out of control, he slipped away, leaving the door of the common room open, and many students running out before Professor McGonagall could close the door.
"It's a death level."
After listening to Ron's words, Shana and Yukikaze were speechless. I have seen people who die, but when they die to this level, they drag everyone else into the water and run away by themselves, which is really a rare wonder.
"By the way, what about your brothers? And Lockhart said Ginny was killed, and you said missing, what the hell is going on? ”
Neither then nor now, Xana had seen the Percy and Weasley twins.
"Lockhart said Ginny had been killed, so I took my brothers to Professor McGonagall."
During this time, the study of the Knights still had a great effect on Ron, and when Lockhart loudly announced that Ginny had been killed and that the murder scene was in the dormitory, Ron stopped the brothers who were about to rush up to Lockhart and ask the truth (the sister had an accident, even Perch was anxious), and went directly to Professor McGonagall to find out the truth.
Here's the truth: Ginny was missing, as Professor McGonagall's rounds confirmed, but not as bad as Lockhart had suggested, at least not before the final point of despair.
Today, there was a sudden addition of a line below the line where the incident had taken place, which said that Ginny had been taken to the secret room and would die there.
Although this is not much better than Lockhart's nonsense, there is a silver lining for Ron, and although it is bad enough to not see people alive or dead, it also represents a glimmer of hope. And the gods he believes in (Ron has become a believer in the beckoning cat during this time, although the original idea was to increase the likelihood of being able to get the multiple-choice questions right) is best at making the almost impossible possible, not to mention Xana.
Unfortunately, by the time they and Professor McGonagall figured out the situation and returned to the break room, the situation had been completely out of control by Lockhart.
"Perch went out to chase the students who had fallen into the panic spell, and Fred and George rushed to the scene of the incident to see if they could find any clues."
"It's too dangerous."
The twins are no match for the basilisk, so what if they are attacked.
"It's okay, I've stuffed each of them with a high-level ghost protection stand."
Hallie answered. Thanks to the blessing of preparing for battle, many of the latest equipment of the Knights have been teleported, and with a high-level ghost energy defense stance, even if a dozen Voldemorts come in, the first three people will be unharmed before the energy is exhausted.
"Then let's stop wasting time, go find Myrtle, enter the Chamber of Secrets and take out the basilisk, arrest the Slydrin heir, and rescue Ginny!"
"Let's go!" *4
Everyone activated the invisibility device, dodging the chaotic students and the already hysterical Professor McGonagall, and crept to the door of the common room, and then suddenly opened the door and rushed out. Although Professor McGonagall noticed that someone was going out, she was immediately overwhelmed by the panicked students, and the regular spells were ineffective, and the spells that could not amplify the power of the students, Professor McGonagall could not even stabilize the situation in front of her.
"Has the professor been like this, why didn't she ask the other professors to help? And how does this mess feel weird? It's really scary and tiring for such a long time. ”
Out of Gryffindor Tower, Hallie turned her head to look at the portrait of the fat woman, I don't know why today, it seems that everything has to be rushed together, the painting of the fat woman is actually empty. There was an accident at school, the lounge was like this, and the fat woman was not there.
"I think it might be the stuff of this stuff."
Snow Wind twisted a small crystal ball from the corner of the wall, and it emitted a strange light inside, and the chaos inside could not be quelled. When I opened the door just now, I wondered why the door was not locked by Professor McGonagall, but none of the students took advantage of the chaos to escape, and it turned out that there was something outside.
"A magic device, it looks like someone is actively causing chaos."
"Who would do that?"
"I don't know, but we're going to pick things up."
Xana crushed the crystal ball.
Going down the stairs, the group came to the door of the weeping Myrtle's bathroom, where the new horrible text on the wall was still shining, but the Weasley twins, who had come to investigate, were not.
"Where have your brothers gone?"
Xana looked around, and there was no one.
"Strange, they said they were going to investigate the clues..."
Ron is weird, what about people?
"They're wearing spectral shields anyway. That thing is at full power, and its defense is not ordinarily strong. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Na was even a little lost in her heart.
With the arrival of the snow wind, the list of equipment of the Knights suddenly became completely unfamiliar. Maybe Harry, who is only eligible to apply for active equipment today, doesn't feel it, but she is taken aback by the new addition, why did Valhalla's tech tree suddenly grow like crazy. Once the flagship of the Knights of the Round Table of Misaka, he had the strongest main cannon, but he was actually old and dilapidated in the current equipment sequence, and if it was in the world of ordinary people, I am afraid he would have to be dismantled.
"I don't know what kind of upgrade plan Sister Photon has prepared for herself in the summer vacation..."
After dealing with the secret room, I will be very busy this summer.
Walking into the bathroom, a crying myrtle is sitting on the tank of one of the innermost toilets.
"Oh, it's you." Myrtle obviously didn't welcome anyone to disturb her, especially the guy who had been bothering her for a long time, "What do you want to do this time?"
"I want to ask you how you died."
Hallie said.
Hearing this, Myrtle's whole demeanor changed all of a sudden. It seemed that no one had ever asked her such a question that honored her.
"Ouch, it's horrible..."
Myrtle began to relish, with relish, how she had died.
"That's where it happened. I died in this toilet. I remember it very clearly. At the time, Olive laughed at me for wearing glasses like a four-eyed dog, so I hid here. I locked the door and was crying inside, when I suddenly heard someone coming in. What they say is funny. I guess it must be another language. But what annoyed me the most was that I heard a boy's voice talking about life. So I opened the door, yelled at him to go out of the way, went to his boys' bathroom, and -- I died. ”
Speaking of this, Myrtle thought she was remarkably puffed out her chest and her face was radiant.
"How did you die?"
Hallie asked.
"I don't know." Myrtle mysteriously lowered her voice and said, "I just remember seeing a pair of frighteningly large yellow eyes. It was as if my whole body was being caught, and then I floated away..."
"Then I came back. You know, I'm hell-bent on settling accounts with Olive Horn. Oh, and she regretted laughing at me for wearing glasses. ”
I really don't understand what the ghost thinks.
"Where the hell did you see those eyes?"
"Pretty much right there." Myrtle said, gesturing vaguely to the pool in front of her.
A very ordinary marble pool, except that it does not produce water, is no different from the sink of any bathroom. However, Ron found a small snake on the side of a bronze faucet that did not come out of the water.
"Hallie, here. You say a few words in a parseltongue. ”
"It's the language of the dragon. Open it! ”
Suddenly, the dragon's head emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Then the pool moved. I watched as the pool slowly disappeared from view, revealing a very thick pipe that could fit a person in.
