Chapter 165 The Quidditch Tragedy
200 experience consumption, knowledge poured into mind.
Ted went through it carefully and found that it turned out to be a world similar to biochemical mutations.
Humans blast space rocks to pieces with nuclear missiles, only to suffer unintended consequences. Radioactive fallout, combined with asteroid debris, causes cold-blooded animals to mutate into terrifying creatures.
As a result, most of the human race became extinct, and the surviving humans were forced to hide in underground shelters to survive.
This illustration book is the information about some monsters summarized by the survivors at a painful price.
Feel useless? Although the monsters recorded here are indeed quite novel, such as toads the size of ponds, centipedes as thick as tree trunks and so on.
But I am not Hagrid... Wait! Maybe Fantastic Beasts can use the knowledge here?
Navi and the others can breed the magical plants in "Plants vs. Zombies", so they can also breed the monsters in this illustrated book, right? I also have the means of cultivating Pokémon! Look at Ansu, isn't it good?
As for now... I need to cultivate a reason that can restrain the basilisk!
Ted knew that he and the others might eventually have to fight the basilisk. Just like facing Voldemort last year. So prepare early.
But what is different this year is that it is more dangerous.
Because the Chamber of Secrets was not arranged by Dumbledore after all, he could only exert force from the side. For example, send Phoenix Fox to send the sorting hat.
Let the phoenix guarantee that the savior will not be killed by snake venom.
But still dangerous.
After all, if a basilisk stares at, bites, bumps, or swallows you to death...the phoenix will not be resurrected!
In such a world, danger is unavoidable after all. It's better to be prepared.
…
Ted found time to go to Hagrid.
Hagrid was very happy, and yelled for Ted to stay for lunch, saying it was chicken stew at noon.
Ted was taken aback: What I want is a live chicken! Fighting chickens among roosters! Not to mention the iron mountain, you have to scream loudly. It's not good if it's cooked!
"Hagrid, I came to ask you for a cock!" said Ted.
"Rooster? Did you come after my chicken too?!"
"Huh? Who else is running after your chicken?"
Hagrid waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I and my chicken have been ruined!"
Ted: ? ? ? who? Who is such a beast? Asan?
Hagrid started from the beginning. Within a few months after the start of school, his chicken was poisoned.
I don’t know who or what animal killed them all. There was no bleeding, but the necks were all broken.
Hagrid held his teeth for several days, but failed to find the murderer.
Later, I bought some chicks, and after a few months they managed to grow up, but they were killed again yesterday!
This time it looks like he was bitten to death by some animal!
"Looks like a snake! The wound looks like it was bitten to death by a snake!" Hagrid took a bite of the chicken leg indignantly.
Ted stopped the action and put down the fork: "So, this big pot of chicken..."
"Yeah!" Hagrid nodded.
Ted: "I'm full! You eat slowly, I'll go back first! Remember to find me the most ferocious chicken!"
Ted rushed out of the door, and after running a long way, he quickly searched for his small bag: "Where's the antidote? I remember I bring it with me at any time!"
After drinking several bottles of potions, Ted finally felt relieved.
I don’t know what killed it, it might be a poisonous snake...
Hagrid may be fine if he eats this chicken, but if he eats it himself, he might die!
Don't the basilisk didn't do anything to him, he was poisoned to death by Hagrid!
Hagrid was still very efficient. Within two days, he got a big **** for Ted.
How big is it? Let's just put it this way, looking up higher than Jerry's belly button!
Hagrid: "I bought it through a black market dealer! How is it? Satisfied? Absolutely mighty and domineering!"
Ted: "Amazing!"
Jerry: Get away from me, I'm scared! Brother Chicken, have mercy! Stop chasing!
In the next few days, Ted raised Brother Chicken in the abandoned classroom and set up a transformation plan for him.
Although it is said that rooster crowing is the fatal flaw of Basilisk, Ted dare not be negligent. It is better to have no books than to believe in books.
Now in the abandoned classroom, there are little white mice that were born with magical powers, long-tailed monkeys that have just grown out after being shaved, and there are more chicken brothers, and Ansu often comes... It feels like a zoo.
Soon time came to May 9th, and today there is a Quidditch match. Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff!
This year, the little wizards have been tormented enough. How could there be so many things in previous years?
The little wizards are eager to make troubles. This year, they really can't do it, and they are even a little afraid of troubles.
It is very good to have a group activity to relieve anxiety and fear.
However, something went wrong.
Ted and the others hadn't arrived at the Quidditch field yet. Not far from the castle, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly came from the sky: "All students return to the lounge, the game is cancelled! The prefects and the student council president organized Get up! Quick!"
The students in the lower grades were just flustered and confused, not knowing why the competition was canceled. But the faces of the senior students all changed, realizing that something had happened.
Sure enough, when Ted and the others returned to the castle, they found people gathering at the stairs leading to the basement.
Harry has already taken the lead to watch the excitement.
Ted and the others got closer, and they heard crying.
Ron heard the voice, and his face turned pale in an instant: "Peggy?!"
He violently pulled away the students in front of him and squeezed in...
A group of twenty or so people, including Professor Flitwick, was there.
And in the middle of the crowd was Peggy Weasley kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, and in front of her was a person like a stone statue.
Obviously, someone has fallen for the basilisk again! But luckily, he didn't die.
Hermione suddenly covered her mouth, "It's Penelope!"
Ted avoided Peggy's cover and saw the victim's face, and it turned out to be Ravenclaw's prefect Penelope Clearwater!
Ted glanced around and found what had saved her from death—a piece of armor polished to a high shine.
Penello should have looked at the basilisk because of the reflection of the armor.
However, things are far from that simple.
Because in the corridor on the third floor, another person was petrified, and it was Slytherin's second-year student, Pansy Parkinson!
In a short period of time, two students were murdered!
The game of the day was cancelled, and all students were strictly prohibited from leaving the common room, and the prefect stood guard at the door.
The few victims had already strained the minds of the young wizards, but now two victims suddenly appeared, breaking their nerves all at once.
Besides, one of the victims was a pure-blood wizard of Slytherin.
Didn't it mean purge those who don't deserve to be in the school? Why even the pure blood of Slytherin? !
In a short time, dozens of owls flew from the school to all parts of Great Britain.
The deans are discussing in the principal's office with extremely ugly faces...
Actually, when Justin and the fat monk were in distress, the deans had already searched the school quietly.
But just like fifty years ago, nothing.
The deans have actually been secretly vigilant, but Lavender of Gryffindor still suffered.
However, now it has reached two a day!
I can't hold it anymore!
When Lavender was petrified, people from the outside world were already inquiring about it.
It's just that Dumbledore, as the greatest white wizard of this century, still has enough prestige, and no one tried to ask if something happened to his territory.
But now, it is absolutely unstoppable.
That night, the owls brought the "Daily Prophet Special Issue", which published a full page about what happened in the school. Chambers of secrets, monsters, petrified students, even ghosts...
A reporter named Rita Skeeter pointed the finger at Dumbledore, questioning whether the greatest white wizard principal is old and unable to bear the burden of the principal.
Ted and the others were furious when they saw the contents of the newspaper at dinner.
Neville trembled all over: "Nonsense! How dare this woman satirize Dumbledore? She, she..." The poor savior can't even swear!
Harry threw the newspaper away: "What stupid remarks? Trash reporter!"
Ron turned pale with anger, and Jerry was so angry that he couldn't eat—if it weren't for Dumbledore, a demihuman like him wouldn't be able to go to school, and Dumbledore had a very high status in his heart.
Hermione also frowned: "How can she say that? As a reporter, she should be objective!"
In short, everyone is very angry.
Ted comforted: "Don't be angry. These mouthpieces have always been controlled by the brain. The reason why she pointed at the principal is probably not just a personal opinion."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"Maybe someone asked her to say that, Dumbledore is in trouble now..."
The outbreak of the Quidditch tragedy directly detonated all suppressed emotions.
The students were terrified, and many of them wrote letters to their families, asking to go home.
The dean and professors also ignored the influence, and directly searched the castle on a large scale.
Even Ted's abandoned classroom was investigated.
Ted moved the animals to the Room of Requirement ahead of time, and nothing else.
This abandoned classroom was assigned by Professor Flitwick to study and practice magic.
Spent a whole day of blanket searches and still nothing.
…
In this case, students continued to ask for leave to go home, and almost a quarter of them left in less than two weeks.
If this continues, the school will be closed.
You must know that the school was forced to close down fifty years ago, and later Hagrid was pushed out to take the blame.
What about this time?
