Chapter 480 Telltale signs

"Everyone, please come closer here and stop hiding in the corner! I'm talking about you! You're still hiding!"

Franklin shouted to a group of Ravenclaws. Under his command, the crowd was gradually gathered from all over the lounge to the bookshelf, surrounded by members of the mutual aid association, and looked at the members of the mutual aid association who raised their wands in vigilance. It looked like he was clearly ready to attack them at any time.

The students who were gathered together began to feel uneasy, but no one cursed or resisted like they did at the beginning. Everyone in the mutual aid group was an old acquaintance, so everyone in Ravenclaw knew very well that if The other party will really attack if you move it!

Therefore, everyone stood quietly, staring at the corner leading to the boys' dormitory with expectant and anxious eyes.

Now they can only place their hope on the fact that the mantra potion really has no side effects as Mike said. If the person who comes out of that passage later is stupid, then no matter what Franklin says, everyone will will not agree to be inspected.

Franklin also knew this very well. The reason why he gathered the crowd was to prepare for coercive measures.

Nowadays, no one is talking in the entire Ravenclaw lounge. Time is passing by bit by bit while waiting. Just when everyone is getting impatient with waiting, a small figure finally appears in front of everyone. Within sight.

"Spyro! How are you feeling now?"

"What's it like inside?"

"Did they torture you?"

…

The crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone crowded towards Spyro crazily. You and I kept asking questions.

This frightened Spyro, who almost ran back to the examination room.

And when he heard what everyone was asking, the expression on his face suddenly became very strange. He slapped his eyes and said:

"I feel pretty good now. Actually, Senior Tangli..."

Sparrow was only halfway speaking when Zhou Hong stood in front of him and said to the crowd:

"Okay, don't embarrass Mr. Green. He has just completed the examination and is very tired now. Let him go back to the dormitory to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, two members of the mutual aid association emerged from behind Franklin. One of them carried Sparrow to another boys' dormitory.

Ravenclaws, you look at me and I look at you, both of them look confused.

However, their expressions are obviously much better than before. After all, Sparrow didn't look like he had become an idiot due to the side effects of the medicine. But this is only the first person to be examined. You know, even if The side effects of truth serum vary from person to person, so most people choose to wait and see for a while.

But this was a good start after all, so everyone’s resistance was much lessened.

Then the next thing is very simple. With Zhou Hong's roll call, students walked out of the crowd nervously, and then after half an hour of inspection, they looked weird but looked very... He walked out of that dormitory normally and walked into his own dormitory in front of everyone.

At this time, the Ravenclaws had completely relaxed, and they even started talking and laughing, because they found that Mike was still the same Mike as before and would never do anything detrimental to them.

Franklin and Zhou Hong were silently observing the changes in people. The task Mike gave them was very simple, which was to find the assassins in the crowd.

That's right, they are the reviewers for today's inspection.

As for the truth potion, of course it was real, but Mike was not prepared to drink it for his classmates.

Everyone who was tested actually just chatted with Mike for half an hour in that dormitory, and they didn't drink any medicine.

After all, everyone has their own privacy. This will cause Mike's prestige in people's minds to be destroyed over the years. Therefore, Mike does not want to take this measure unless it is absolutely necessary.

But the assassin hidden in the crowd doesn't think so. Like Truth Potion, there is no antidote for Truth Potion and it completely ignores Occlumency. The only thing that can compete with it is the Imperius Curse, but the Imperius Curse is real. It is too easy to be seen, and it needs others to release it.

Therefore, Mike bets that the assassin would never dare to enter that dormitory. He or she would definitely try their best to evade inspection. When Mike used the members of the mutual aid association to block most of his multiple routes, he or she The means of escape will inevitably be fierce, and at this time, it is Franklin and Zhou Hong's turn to take action.

As the number of people gathered in front of the bookshelf in the lounge became smaller and smaller, the expressions of Zhou Hong and Franklin also became a little nervous. They knew very well that in the next period of time, the so-called assassin might jump out at any time. .

But on the surface they have to pretend to be relaxed, which makes Franklin very uncomfortable, and his acting skills have never been very good.

Fortunately, Mike also knew this, so the tasks assigned today did not require too much expression change. All complicated tasks were basically assigned to Zhou Hong, such as roll call.

"Clark Kent."

As Zhou Hong sang the name loudly, Franklin's expression became more relaxed.

This Clark is an old acquaintance. He is the prefect of Ravenclaw's seventh grade. During the first period of school, he got along well with Mike and himself.

Franklin's impression of him was that of a simple nerd. Such a person had absolutely nothing to do with the so-called assassin.

Franklin looked intently and saw a tall, thin boy with black hair slowly walking out of the crowd - this was Clark.

Clark's expression was very natural and he even smiled.

He looked around, and his eyes met Franklin's.

"Clark, don't be nervous, it will be over in half an hour, go quickly."

Franklin smiled and said to Clark that he had a good impression of the senior.

Clark also smiled and nodded to Franklin, and began to walk towards the examination room, but very strangely, he always pressed against the wall when walking, which made Zhou Hong suspicious.

He doesn't want to think that a simple and absolute acquaintance like Franklin will not be an assassin. In this world with magic, no matter how good your friend is, he will betray you for various reasons!

Zhou Hong silently clenched the wand in his hand and looked at Clark warily.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Clark suddenly turned to look at Zhou Hong, then smiled and spread his hands, indicating that he was not a threat.

Franklin on the side also spoke out to persuade Zhou Hong not to be so serious. Clark is one of his own.

However, Zhou Hong still insisted on going his own way. The more Franklin said this, the bigger his movements became, and now his wand was pointed at Clark.

"That's enough, Franklin." Clark said helplessly, "Don't try to persuade this little Gryffindor brother. I can see that your persuasion can only have the opposite effect. Just let me do my best." Go get tested.”

"Oh well."

Franklin withdrew with an embarrassed expression. Before leaving, he glared at Zhou Hong, who made him very embarrassed.

But Zhou Hong remained unmoved.

Clark began to move forward slowly. He was still walking close to the wall. On the wall leading to the examination room, there was a row of semicircular arch windows unique to Ravenclaw. This was the reason for Zhou Hong's vigilance.

As Clark advanced, Zhou Hong also became more vigilant, because Clark was now very close to the examination room, and there was only the last arch window left in front of him.

Suddenly, Clark stopped in front of the last arched window, turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong was startled, and a huge sense of crisis came over him. This feeling was as if the world would be destroyed in the next second, making every cell in his body scream desperately, screaming for him to run away!

Zhou Hong instinctively raised the wand in front of him, but before he could release the magic spell, a huge explosion hit his eardrums, and at the same time, endless light burst out with a powerful shock wave!

"boom!"

After a loud noise, Zhou Hong felt that he could hear nothing and see nothing.

At this moment, his eardrums were in extreme pain, and all he could hear in his ears was the harsh tinnitus and the faint sounds of crying and screaming.

As for the eyes, it's even worse.

Although he had closed his eyes in time just now, the huge flash of light like the explosion of the sun still hurt his eyes, making his eyes red and full of tears.

The most important thing is that the damaged eardrum not only damaged his hearing, but also affected his balance. Now he is lying on the ground struggling. Although he really wants to stand up, his body has already She doesn't listen to him at all.

Most of the other people in the Ravenclaw lounge looked like this, lying on the ground and wailing in pain. At that moment, they seemed to have watched the sun explode at close range!

But at this moment, there was no figure of Clark in front of the arched window.

Mike slowly walked out from behind the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw. He had already arrived when Clark launched the attack, but before he could take action, Clark's attack arrived.

Looking at the messy Ravenclaw lounge, the corners of Mike's eyes were twitching. The spell Clark used just now was simply a magic version of a shock bomb. He completely ignored the protective spell and only relied on huge sounds and flashes to subdue the enemy.

"Do you think... you can run away like this?"

With a grin, Mike pulled out his wand and waved it quickly in the air a few times. The next second, Mike's figure turned into an afterimage and rushed out along the arched window!

The Ravenclaw lounge is located on the tallest tower on the east side of Hogwarts. As soon as Mike rushed out of the tower, he began to fall freely. At the same time, Mike's magic sense was fully activated, and he easily sensed the familiar figure.

‘Southwest, mid-air! ’

A firebolt that was summoned by his flying curse fell into his hand. Mike quickly climbed onto the broom, and then controlled the broom and flew towards the target that he had discovered!

At the same time, piercing sirens rang out in Hogwarts. The members of the Mutual Aid Association who had been ambushing various parts of Hogwarts Castle also received Mike’s magical message, and each one rode on a uniformly customized fire. The crossbow chased in the direction where Mike disappeared.

On the other side, Mike was flying close to the Firebolt.

The Firebolt under his body is an exclusive customized version. Its flight speed is much faster than ordinary Firebolts, but its steering ability and comfort are somewhat inferior.

But even so, he still couldn't catch up with Clark in a short time. The opponent didn't know what he was using, and his flying speed was only a smidge lower than Mike's now.

Mike knew the opponent's thoughts very well. He had to know that there was an anti-Apparition spell within the scope of Hogwarts, so the opponent would use flying to escape, but as long as the opponent flew out of the scope of Hogwarts, then You can now use the Apparition spell to move through space over long distances.

But, can he really succeed?

Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Mike's mouth. He took off the Masonic gold coin from his chest, put it to his mouth, and said softly:

"Hey, George, Fred, the target is heading towards you, shoot him down."

At the same time, in the forest on the edge of the Hogwarts area, George and Fred, who were so bored that they yawned, also showed ferocious smiles when they heard this. They both answered in a relaxed tone to the Masonic gold coins. road:

"Ah, got it, Mike."

The two rode their broomsticks and soared into the sky. As soon as they reached the top of the forest, they saw a small black spot slowly enlarging in the sky over Hogwarts Castle.

George and Fred raised their wands, preparing to attack as soon as the opponent entered their casting range. At the same time, the corners of their mouths raised even more exaggeratedly. This kind of aerial combat was very difficult for the two former Gryffindor school team members. For golfers, it's a piece of cake. They can even imagine the opponent being hit by their spell and then falling off the broom with a wail.

But not long after, as the black spot in the distance slowly enlarged, the smiles on their faces began to slowly solidify.

"Hey, George, that guy isn't riding a broomstick, is he?"

"Um, that looks like a bird...a really big bird."

"Boom~Boom!"

A thunderbolt struck down from the blue and fell straight into the forest near the two of them. While it ignited an ancient tree, it also startled a large number of birds.

At the same time, the weather, which was originally clear and clear, took a turn for the worse. A large number of dark clouds covered the sky, making the surrounding area dark.

These dark clouds were extremely low, which made George and Fred feel great pressure. What frightened them was that from time to time, streaks of lightning would flash through the dark clouds, and the muffled roar made the two of them frightened. People's faces became extremely ugly.

"George, I think I know what the target is riding."

"Well, I think I know it too, that thing is a Thunderbird!"

George and Fred looked at each other and smiled, the smiles on both of their faces were very bitter.
