Chapter 65: The Rampage Duo
It's '93, 911 hasn't happened in the United States, terrorist attacks haven't dominated most of the headlines, and it's the golden age of the global arms trade. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoA "weapons collector" like Lu Yuan, who spends a lot of money and owns a huge industry under his name, is also the most popular customer of arms dealers. They don't care about the price for what they love, and it's almost impossible for them to cause trouble, so they can buy the weapons they need directly from the government-controlled arms dealers - as long as they say "defensive equipment", the missiles will dare to tear off the fuses and sell them to you!
What's the point of pretending to be a fighter jet, showing off your wealth must be satisfied.
"It's a fighter?!" Seeing the black figure flying low overhead, as a rare and well-informed person on the magic side, after recognizing what had just flown over, Lockhart was so surprised that his eyeballs were about to fall out! "Waterfack, how did the Muggle plane end up here?"
"Relax, just a jaguar." Old Lu Yun picked up the teacup lightly, as if he didn't see the umbrella flower that was falling. "The old fighter is a bit low-grade, but it's a pity that the British Air Force only has this kind of goods."
Luo Hart was about to be frightened, but Lu Yuan still looked dissatisfied. It's a pity that the EF2000 "Typhoon" fighter jointly developed by Europe is still on the drawings, and using that pretending to force it is the most in line with the low-key needs of Lao Lu......
As a professional, the fighter's low-altitude delivery is still quite accurate, and he flew towards the two people at an angle. When the parachute was about to hit the roof of the screaming shack, Lu Yuan took out his wand and pointed at the parachute falling from the sky, "The supply box is summoned." β
The huge military supply box seemed to be pulled by a rope, and unscientifically moved directly to the table between the two.
"Compared to World War II, there is almost no progress on this thing, except for replacing crates with plastic." Lao Lu complained, and tapped on the box with his wand casually, and the lid of the box opened automatically, revealing all kinds of weapons neatly arranged inside! It's all a piece of British equipment!
On the front of the first layer are two Type 80 94mm anti-tank rocket launchers placed on one front and one on the back, and four spare rockets are neatly erected on the side; The second layer is a neat yard of all kinds of grenades and C4 explosives/charges! Two specially made stab-proof suits, snake venom, a light stick, two large-caliber pistols full of accessories, countless magazines, and many more gadgets. The most conspicuous of these are the two head-mounted night vision devices.
On the third layer, there is a silver titanium alloy metal mesh. It doesn't seem to be large, but when it opens, it almost envelops a large room. It was covered with tiny barbs that could not be easily removed by any creature if it was entangled.
Finally, inside the lid of the box, there is also a blue steel military crossbow, and ten neatly arranged explosive-headed crossbows!
"Sizzle~!" Seeing these things, Lockhart only felt a toothache and gasped!
"This ...... Isn't that an exaggeration?! "Lockhart wasn't as closed off as most people on the wizarding side, because he knew almost all of these things after having traveled around the Muggle world for a long time! It can be seen that Lockhart has hardly used any modern weapons, except for the occasional pistol when he went on expeditions! In his mind, destroying dark magical creatures would have to rely on a wand, and he had never considered modern weapons. Now that he was shown this, Lockhart was so frightened that he didn't know where to put it.
"Lockhart," Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder deeply, his eyes were very melancholy and very peaceful.
"Do you know what to do to look professional? You're completely unprofessional in this regard! β
"How is that possible!" was complained of being unprofessional, and Lockhart was immediately angry. "I'm ready too!" He angrily flipped through his pockets and took out a red and yellow ...... Robe? "What's this?!" Lu Yuan barely had to think about it to know that Lockhart was bragging nonsense againβand that object was eighty percent of himself! So his face was gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.
"This ...... That, Lu," Lockhart realized that he had done something stupid again in his excitement. Without any foreshadowing, I took out this dress. "Dear Lu," his sincere little eyes clicked vigorously, but he couldn't squeeze out tears. "They oppressed me, they obviously didn't believe me! I need to give them confidence that the best thing to do, you know, is to have a great friend. So...... Finally, finally...... All I can say is that you have to pretend to be a lama......"
"I, I'm ......" Lao Lu was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Lao Lu angrily squeeze his fist into a gaba gaba, Lockhart quickly raised the lama's robe and covered his head.
"Don't slap your face!"

"I'm sorry, kids. I'm sorry! β
Professor McGonagall stood on the stage in the auditorium, and she almost burst into tears as she repeatedly said "sorry" into the microphone. Instead of sitting in their seats, the students stood around the podium, snuggling up to the female like birds. Unfortunately, even the female birds are not able to protect their safety now.
"Kids, you all know, another kid has been attacked by monsters. I must tell you all this, Dumbledore has been fired from the Board of Trustees, and our teachers are running out of options...... Sorry kids...... Hogwarts ...... That's it. Two lines of tears finally flowed down Professor McGonagall's wrinkles. Among the students, there were countless low sobs.
No one mentioned Girod Lockhart anymore, because in the afternoon he had been seen fleeing school in a hurry - not even taking his luggage! At this moment, both boys and girls, when they see Lockhart again, they will smash his book in his face!
Professor McGonagall choked up, finally holding back her grief and continuing. ββ¦β¦ All of you must stay in the auditorium tonight, and the teachers will watch over you for the last night! Tomorrow, everyone will leave here on the Hogwarts Express......"
"Will we come back after this holiday?" A child asked loudly.
All the students immediately looked expectantly at Professor McGonagall, and the deans of their respective houses standing behind her. It's a pity that the teachers all have straight faces, without a trace of expression, and they can't see any information at all. At this moment, even Slytherin House, the stronghold of pure-bloods who were not afraid of being attacked by monsters, was dead silent. They had gloated when Muggles were attacked - but no one wanted the school to be closed!
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, my dear, all I can say is that you need to wait for notice. Professor McGonagall's hands clenched and loosened, "That depends on the decision of the Board of Directors - whether they will have the experts and the Aurors clean up Hogwarts completely during the holidays, or close the school altogether...... I don't really know. But if the monster can't be removed, then the thousand-year history of Hogwarts will end today. β
When I remembered that this year happened to be the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of Hogwarts, all the teachers instantly had the illusion of providence!
Suddenly, an atmosphere of grief condensed in the sky above the auditorium, and even the magical sky on the roof of the auditorium turned into a thunderstorm.
Just as the horses were in full swing, "No, Hogwarts will never end today!" Someone shouted loudly - with the thunder that exploded in the sky, it was deafening!
"Who's who, who's making the noise?" Professor McGonagall slapped the microphone vigorously and searched the crowd of students - she was slightly relieved to see both Harry and Ron there. Professor McGonagall was more worried about the irrational things that these young and impulsive students would do in the face of their enthusiasm. Ginny Weasley's disappearance has left her with great grief, and if there are any more student casualties, she will not be able to rest at ease for the rest of her life!
But Professor McGonagall noticed that all the students were turning their heads and looking in the direction of the gate.
Could it be that it is the people outside the house who are speaking?
"Bump!" The two heavy doors of the Hogwarts Great Hall were violently pushed open from the outside and slammed into the walls on both sides! A man stood in the middle of the storm and announced loudly, "If you want to close Hogwarts, I, Gilderoy Lockhart, will never agree!" β
*****
The magical weather over the Great Hall of Hogwarts faithfully reflects the weather conditions outside, but it doesn't really rain or snow. In other words, the weather on the roof at the moment is a thunderstorm, which means that it is also raining outside.
Therefore, the open door allowed the wind to carry the rain and sweep into the auditorium in patches! The children standing on the periphery couldn't help but scream, but they were immediately frightened by the tremendous pressure on their faces and shut up. I saw the silhouettes of two tall men, standing like mountains at the exit of the gate.
One of them stepped forward, "Huh~" casually pulled away the rain cloth on his body and threw it on the aisle.
"Ahh It's Mr. Lockhart! The students couldn't help but exclaim - the man who came with dripping water was really Lockhart who "escaped" in the afternoon - but not the "Lockhart" they were familiar with! The man in front of him was dressed in half-body leather armor, carrying a huge steel crossbow, with a potion bottle hanging from his belt, and the iron chain occasionally clanging against the ground, and his eyes were fierce...... Is it really that flower peacock Lockhart?!
"Teacher!" Instead of looking at the frightened little beasts, Gilderoy Lockhart's gaze jumped directly over the students' heads and stared straight at Professor McGonagall. "You promised me that I could find my assistant and come back to deal with the Chamber of Secrets and monsters! But you didn't! β
His look of anger and questioning made Professor McGonagall speechless for a moment. Is this really that student of mine, Lockhart, who has been deceived all day long and has not spoken a word of truth in his mouth? "I'm sorry, Lockhart. I don't really know...... I thought ......" Professor McGonagall suddenly realized that she probably had never known her students. Maybe Lockhart has really changed a lot in the years since he left......
"Stop your farce, Lockhart!" Just as Professor McGonagall hesitated, Severus Snape, a professor of Potions science, stepped forward. Unlike Professor McGonagall, who was a good old man, Snape, who was once a Death Eater, had a lot of lives on his hands! So he easily saw through Lockhart's bluff! The momentum that shocked all the students as Lockhart pushed open the door came not so much from Lockhart as from the man standing behind him.
That person didn't know what he had experienced, and the murderous aura he carried on his body was almost like substance! Even Voldemort, who kills without calculation, may not be able to compare!
After a moment's pause in the man, Severus Snape turned his gaze back to Lockhart. "You idiot, we're saving your life by not letting you go! You don't know the horror of the Slytherin Chamber being opened, and you don't know what a vicious monster you're going to face! It's completely different from those bedtime stories you write! Don't be stupid, Lockhart! We don't have time to tolerate your nonsense anymore......"
"Basilisk!" Lockhart, who was standing quietly and being spat wildly by Snape, said suddenly. "What?" Snape didn't hear clearly, and asked with a frown.
"I say," Lockhart said in a loud voice, "that monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk!" A monster egg laid by a rooster in the sky of Sirius and hatched by a toad! Its gaze can kill people, but its indirect gaze only petrified - this is the truth about the students who were attacked at Hogwarts! β
In the crowd, Harry Potter shuddered when he heard Lockhart's words, and so did Ron. The two looked at each other in horror and whispered in unison, "He really knows!" "Yes, these two guys just guessed that the monster was a snake after Hermione's prompting. They were planning to sneak away tonight in the Cloak of Invisibility to save Ginny. I didn't expect Lockhart to really know the answer, and he said it in public.
"Basilisk?" Snape repeated it before realizing that what Lockhart said was probably true! Unlike the students, the professors are very knowledgeable, with only a little hint and experience. So when Lockhart said the word basilisk, they quickly remembered countless information about the basilisk, and then immediately corresponded to the situation of the students being attacked! It's really a basilisk! Suddenly, their confidence in Lockhart grew exponentially!
Snape was surprised, but he still didn't believe that Lockhart could really defeat the basilisk - as a poor man who had been harassed and tortured by Lockhart for a whole year, he wanted to pinch this big talker to death every moment! It can be said that Snape's trust in Lockhart has been extremely low! So, after thinking for a moment and realizing that he couldn't find a flaw in Lockhart, he shifted the finger to the man standing behind Lockhart, "This is what you invited...... Lama? Hehe~ Don't tell me he's a lama? β
The two men who walked in were armed to the teeth. But unlike Lockhart, the man in the back is wearing a military uniform and body armor, carrying a bazooka behind him, his body is full of various magazines and grenades, and he is holding a fierce gun in his hand! is completely a murderous soldier of the United States, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a Tibetan lama.
"Smack~" The man flicked the brim of his hat and took out a cigar and lit it. He took a deep breath, walked up to Snape, looked down at the professor with a menacing look, and sprayed a puff of smoke into his face!
"Lao Tzu and Lockhart are demon hunters who specialize in hunting magical creatures, codenamed "Lama"! β¦β¦ Anyway, you have an opinion about this weak chicken? β
