Chapter 110: Murder (Part II)
"Lady Loris, just a minor character in this incident, the real victim is someone else!" Charlotte sighed slightly and looked up in the direction of the third floor.
The gloomy gaze saw through the obstacles to the situation on the third floor, where a thin body had fallen to the ground, long since lost its vital signs.
Dumbledore was able to search anywhere but a few secret places such as the House's dormitories because he was the Headmaster of Hogwarts and had the authority granted by the school itself. And Charlotte can see the scene on the third floor, completely relying on his own great strength, forcibly twisting the rules in Hogwarts.
Of course, for Charlotte now, this ability is still a little difficult to use. After all, he is not the master of Hogwarts, he needs to fight against the will of the entire magic tower, and every second needs to consume a huge amount of mana.
"You mean?" Professor McGonagall on the side trembled uncontrollably, "This...... It's unbelievable! ”
"The basilisk doesn't crawl here for no reason, there must be prey nearby that he wants to kill. Its gaze can easily kill creatures below the legendary," Charlotte withdrew his gaze and looked at Lady Loris to the side, "and the reason why Lady Loris did not die was entirely due to the fact that the water on the ground reflected the gaze of the basilisk, weakening its lethal effect.
Of course, the main reason is that the basilisk didn't take this cat to heart at all, otherwise, even ten pools of water would not be able to save her life! ”
"Oh my God! How so? Professor McGonagall's eyes moistened, "Where is he?" ”
"...... in the boys' restroom on the third floor," Charlotte said in a low tone.
Although he never considered himself a good person, he could not do it to the point of ignoring life now. What's more, the dead are still their own classmates.
Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall knew that Charlotte could not have lied, but they still had a hint of luck in their hearts. They quickly climbed the stairs up the third floor and headed for the boys' restroom.
Most of the other students still didn't understand what was going on, and only a few thoughtful students had a bad feeling in their hearts, and they immediately followed up to the third floor.
Harry Potter, who was mixed in the crowd, quickly contacted the basilisk in his heart, telling it to quickly leave the magic tower and return to the Forbidden Forest. It's not safe here, Charlotte is horrible! If the basilisk stays here, it will definitely not be able to escape the other party's pursuit.
The students whispered to the outside of the boys' restroom, and when they looked at the scene in front of them, everyone was blindfolded.
A tall, thin body fell diagonally in the urinal, and the whole person was no longer breathing.
"Yes...... William! ”
Finally, a Ravenclaw student shouted, his voice shaky and crying in disbelief.
All of a sudden, the fear in the hearts of the students was completely detonated.
"Ahh O Merlin! How so? ”
"Liar!"
"What a joke! He must have been petrified by the basilisk too, right? ”
"I ...... I, I'm not going to do it anymore, who's going to help me? ”
“……”
At this time, the professors who received the general knowledge of Snei also rushed over. They looked at William James, who had been dead for a long time, and they all fell silent.
"I'm sorry~ but I have to say, Mr. William...... It's dead. Snape slowly straightened up, pursed his lips, and said the heavy truth.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"Is it really dead?"
“……”
The students were in an uproar, and they all shouted.
Not long ago, this classmate was still chatting and teasing with himself, but now he died like this. This situation is difficult for students who have not experienced life and death to accept.
He didn't die a normal natural death, but was killed by the legendary basilisk. Now that it can kill William James, who knows if it will kill itself the next moment?
"Quiet! Be quiet! Professor McGonagall tried to keep the students in order several times, but they didn't calm the students, but they tended to get worse.
"Shut it all up!" The old bat instantly opened up his ice realm, instantly freezing all the students to shiver, which made them all quiet.
"Mr. White!" Snape called Charlotte over, "Can you see where the hell the basilisk is?" ”
The Acting Headmaster's authority is much smaller than that of the real Headmaster, and Snape only has the realm of a Grand Wizard, so he can't easily investigate the situation in the Magic Tower like Dumbledore.
Charlotte nodded, her eyes narrowing slightly, and slowly scanning. However, from the eleventh floor all the way to the underground, he saw no trace of the basilisk.
"It's not in the magic tower now, I guess it's escaped now!" Charlotte withdrew her magic and whispered to Snape.
"Okay~ That's bad news!" Snape sighed.
If it was in the Magic Tower, Snape could also use the Acting Headmaster's authority to restrain the basilisk and then let Charlotte take action to destroy it.
But it actually escaped, and that's very tricky.
There were also many secret passages between the magic tower and the campus outside, and even Dumbledore couldn't have known all of them.
Therefore, Snape can only use the authority of the acting headmaster to seal the secret passages he knows, and the rest can only be left to fate!
"Now! All the professors took the students back to their dormitories in their respective houses, which was the safest place to be, after all, guarded by the statues of the Big Four," Snape began to command, "I will write to Dumbledore at once and ask him to come back and take charge of the situation!"
All outdoor classes are stopped, and no student can leave the Magic Tower! I'll seal off the entire tower with headmaster authority at once. Of course, some of you must know some of the secret passages, and I want you to hand them over so that we can shut them up! ”
"If your brains aren't completely rusted, then you must cherish your life! Don't think I don't know, when the Dark Lord invaded last year, some cubs who weren't afraid of death still didn't know the severity and were swaggering outdoors! The venom of the old bat is still sharp, "This time it's different, the basilisk is a monster that only knows how to kill, it doesn't have any concerns......"
"Except for Mr. White, everyone else is to go back to the dormitory at once, and no one is allowed to stay in the hallway." Snape waved his hand and told all the students to evacuate the place.
Under the leadership of the teachers and professors, the students walked back in an orderly manner.
Ron, who was in the crowd, took a deep look at William James, who had fallen to the ground, and gently hooked the corners of his mouth without showing a trace.
Then, he turned around and walked out with the large army.
ps, Liu Xian Tianci took your dragon set (William James) away!!
