Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 31: To invite a fight is to affirm the enemy, to call someone is to show respect to the opponent
"ASAP!"
In the dim alchemy laboratory, Venom's voice became low when he heard Mason was about to talk to Professor McGonagall.
It also reminds:
"She's dead after all. Her brain has shrunk badly. It's very hard for me to support her thinking. Besides, I'm very hungry... You know, I'm always hungry."
"Merlin, it feels like there's a chattering demon taking up residence in my brain. "
The next moment, Professor McGonagall's dry and hoarse voice sounded in the laboratory with complaints. She shook her head and touched her stomach.
After her sanity was accidentally awakened by the venom, she had remembered some of her experiences after her death.
But don't expect her to think clearly.
The infection of the zombie virus not only caused her brain to atrophy, but also caused serious deformation and lesions. She is lucky that she can still maintain normal thinking now.
As for those memories that had long been shattered, they were nothing more than a torture to her now.
She said in a confused but wise tone:
"The fragments of the Resurrection Stone are tormenting my mind. Fortunately, I am dead so that I can withstand such a severe mental shock. My world is gone, right, Mason?"
"Well, it broke, just yesterday."
Mason lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and stretched out his hand to stop Kevin, who was eager to try and try to transform into Professor McGonagall.
He still doesn't know whether the witch who has regained her human form can use magic. What if she gets angry and throws an Avatar melon at him?
Mason stared at her and said:
"But everything is over before the world breaks apart. The end comes sooner than destruction. But do you still feel pain because of this, professor?"
"I should be in pain, but I am surprisingly calm now."
Professor McGonagall's scarlet eyes remained calm as she said:
"I should thank you for hunting down the traitors, and the Sorting Hat... or rather, the echoes of the four great wizards. I'm sorry that we used forbidden powers in our desperation to disturb your rest."
The Sorting Hat remained silent, but Mason sighed in his heart.
"There is one more thing you must know, Mason, and this is probably the last secret in my heart, and the last secret about that lost world.
I am the only one who knows it.
I would have thought that death would have completely overshadowed it.
But fate has given us another chance to bring it to light. Perhaps my 'resurrection from the dead' is for this moment..."
Professor McGonagall took a breath, but seemed to have forgotten the feeling of being alive, so she gave up the effort and whispered to Mason:
"You have to find a way to get something from those traitors, something vital. I hope they haven't discovered our last effort yet.
That wonderful endless box of the great wizard Newt Scamander!
You have to find it.”
"Is that the super magic box that contains hundreds of magical animals?"
Mason became interested.
He raised his eyebrows and asked:
"You said it was your last-ditch effort. What did you put in it? Let me guess, a bunch of little wizards? Mr. Potter's diary said that you and Hagrid escorted a group of little wizards to escape, but you never made it to the school.
That's not a bad thing.
As a result, you escaped the Conqueror's raid on the academy headquarters."
"Yes! The last group of little wizards."
Professor McGonagall nodded and said:
"When the train was leaving King's Cross Station for Hogwarts, it was attacked. Hagrid held off the vicious guys, and I fought as hard as I could but...
They came too fast.
I can only send the children on the train into the magical box. The great wizard Newt created a complete ecological cycle in his endless box, just like a small world.
But now more than a year has passed since the disaster, and no one knows whether those little guys can still hold on.
Mason, I beg you, please find them."
"Are you sure that the box fell into the hands of those three traitors from the academy?"
Mason asked.
Professor McGonagall nodded and said affirmatively:
"They came here to plunder knowledge. I placed the box in a document cabinet at the Ministry of Magic that was transported together. If they took all the documents, then the box must be in their hands as well."
"Emmmm..."
Mason rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. After a moment, he raised his head and said to Professor McGonagall:
"I'll do my best to find it, but since you showed up at this time, I thought you might be able to help. And by the way, I have a plan that I'm sure you'll be interested in.
Let me call my wizard friend over first..."
He took out a holographic intercom used for internal communications in Osborne Tower and dialed the number of Zha Kang's room. The next moment, a ray of light hit Mason's eyes and Zha Kang's face appeared in the projection.
But he was naked and there was someone on top of him…
Judging from her swaying graceful back and long black hair, she should be the sea goddess Clepso who has lost her divine power.
If Mason remembered correctly, that bastard Zha Kang said last night that he wanted to hook up with this former goddess, and he succeeded in less than six hours?
Hey, how talented are you at this?
The super soldier serum I gave you was supposed to make the good better and the bad worse, but after it took effect on you it made you worse, right?
"Mason! As you can see, I'm a little busy right now..."
Zha Kang's panting voice came out from it.
Mason covered his eyes and sighed:
"Okay, I'll give you twenty minutes, then come find me in the basement cell at Osborne Tower. I have something to tell you, as soon as possible, okay?"
——
Ten minutes later, Zha Kang, with a gloomy face, appeared in the elevator of Osborne Tower heading underground while complaining.
He kept on talking, repeatedly emphasizing that the reason for his bad condition today was because of Mason's damn phone call, which resulted in him being severely ridiculed by the goddess of the sea.
Mason said nothing.
He wanted to maintain his pure image and did not intend to discuss such obscene issues.
In the elevator going down, he was groping in his Panama hat. The Sorting Hat was going to give him another treasure to help him lure and hunt down the world's traitors.
"Hold it steady and don't fall down. There is no great wizard here to help you. Once you call them, you will be doomed."
What was given this time was extremely dangerous, as could be seen from the Sorting Hat's repeated warnings.
The zombie cat lying on Mason's shoulder also blinked her scarlet eyes. She looked at Mason who seemed to be performing magic. The venom was still on her, but in order to save the power of the symbiote, Professor McGonagall would not change back into human form unless necessary.
However, the peculiar thinking organ from the symbiote brought back the joy of thinking to Professor McGonagall, so that she would not remain in a muddled and half-alive state like a real cat.
She would be very curious about what the Sorting Hat was going to give Mason.
“Calm down!”
The young man took out a pair of glasses without lenses from his arms and put them on his nose. The coldness of the Ravenclaw crown when it touched his skin startled him. Then, at the instruction of the Sorting Hat, he took out something coiled in it.
It is not as conspicuous as Gryffindor's Sword of Vengeance, nor as luxurious as Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, nor as low-key and powerful as Ravenclaw's Diadem.
Its appearance looks ordinary.
It is a long silver chain with a golden octagonal pendant hanging from it. There are many mysterious ancient runes on the amber pendant, and in the center is a snake shape made of green agate.
"Mason! Keep a steady hand and don't drop it!"
When seeing this thing, Professor McGonagall, who was lying on Mason's shoulder, also reminded in a hoarse and creepy tone:
"The Sorting Hat is right, this thing is dangerous."
"Slytherin's locket?"
Mason knew the name of the thing in his hand when he saw the little snake decoration. He just didn't quite understand why the Sorting Hat and Professor McGonagall were so nervous?
Until he saw the information tag of this thing a few seconds later:
Slytherin's Locket/Salazar's Box/Serpent's Box
Quality: Legendary Jewelry Processing/Enchantment/Inscription Creation·Perfect Craftsmanship
Features: Demon Sealed Object, Variable Curse, Spirit Box
Item Effect:
1. Sealing the Demon:
As the most cunning legendary wizard, Salazar Slytherin holds many taboos of dark magic, and the item in your hand is the culmination of his achievements in the field of dark magic.
The small pendant box contains various forbidden spells and magic items carefully collected by Slytherin, and it itself can be regarded as a sealed object of the same quality.
After mastering the correct usage, the pendant box can be used to perform a variety of sealing forbidden techniques.
2. Spirit Box Guardian:
In order to protect their secrets, Slytherin set up an extremely dangerous guard for the item. If the correct opening word cannot be said, the monster in the box will immediately attack.
Even if the invader manages to escape, he will be cursed with life-threatening black magic.
Producer: Salazar Slytherin
Item Description: You may not understand the danger of this thing, but if I tell you that a group of Dementors are trying to escape from a thousand years of imprisonment, and they are just the most harmless of the prisoners in the Soul Box, will you change your mind?
When Mason saw this item description, he almost threw the pendant box in his hand away. He frowned and said:
"Is there a Dementor in here?"
"It's not just the Dementors."
The Sorting Hat, which was put back on Mason's head, said calmly:
“The four legendary wizards were active in ancient times, when many legendary magical creatures had not yet become extinct. Salazar Slytherin was not only a wizard but also a magical biologist. During his travels around the world, he sealed up the most dangerous and useful creatures he encountered.
From Dementors to civets, from the Sphinx Manticore to the Basilisk that has lived for more than two thousand years, from Chimaera to Fireball Dragons, and there are also swarms of Voldemorts.
There are all kinds of dangerous creatures you have seen and haven't seen before.
This locket connects to a small demiplane where dangerous creatures are trapped, eager to escape. It is the most dangerous of all Hogwarts' magical heritage.
You should know now why I have not given it to you.
Because you can't control it, Mason.
If Professor McGonagall hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have waited until you were a little older before revealing its existence to you."
"I defeated a conqueror for you and made you happy, but you still hid it from me."
Mason glanced at the magical pendant in his hand and said:
"That really makes me sad, Mr. Hat."
"Instead of wasting time pretending to be sad, why don't you learn from Professor McGonagall how to use this pendant."
The Sorting Hat's voice lowered, and it said:
"You are facing a very bad situation now. This may increase your chances of winning. But Mason, you must remember that just because you hold this locket does not mean you can control the dangerous monster inside.
It may be just a toy in the hands of Slytherin, but you must be careful when using it, because those monsters may hate you more than the enemies they face when they are released."
"I know, and I don't plan on using it myself. There's a hapless guy who keeps trying to prove his masculinity with words who needs it more than I do."
Mason nodded and threw the dangerous locket to Zha Kang.
The latter did not complain about Mason interrupting his good times. He held the pendant box in his hands as if it were a treasure, with a look of secret delight on his face. He repeatedly praised Mason as a generous and magnanimous leader, and said that he was very lucky to be able to join Team K.
But he wasn't talking nonsense, Mason was really nice to him.
The secret treasure of Hogwarts was given to him, the broken magic cloak was given to him, the strengthening potion was given to him, and even the trident containing divinity was in his possession, and now he also had this dangerous and mysterious little treasure.
This set of equipment alone is enough to turn Zha Kang into a super spellcaster.
If Team K is a mercenary organization, then these "generous bonuses" alone would be enough to make Zha Kang completely devoted to Mason, and this playboy has performed well so far.
"bite"
The elevator opened, and Zha Kang strode out holding the locket, followed by Mason.
The two walked in the closed prison room under the Osborne Tower and finally opened a door. In the dim room in front of them were two guys tied to chairs.
Mason walked into the room and looked at the two neon wizards who were tortured beyond recognition.
These two unlucky guys are the survivors of the last murder case in Star Castle. They are also the only two main members of the Amaterasu team. They should have reserve members, but Mason doesn't care where those guys are now.
The Sorting Hat made it clear.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Those official wizards who actually participated in the betrayal should not be forgiven, and the rest of the wizard apprentices who were unaware of the inside story should be left alone.
"If it weren't for this incident, I would have almost forgotten about them."
Mason looked at the tattered clothes and whip marks on the two guys' skin, frowned and glanced at Zha Kang, his eyes meaning how could you be so cruel?
Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring, raised his hands and said:
"Don't look at me like that, Mason. It wasn't me. Didn't you say you would do everything you could to pry their mouths open? As you wished, I summoned a few sadistic succubi to deal with them.
That's a succubus!
So don't think they are miserable, they are happy.
We've been so busy lately that I didn't have time to come over and see it, and this is what happened.
But they were just tortured miserably, their souls and memories are intact, their minds are a little confused but it's not a big problem. Do you want to hear what they have to say?
They even told us the coordinates of their base world, although that world was most likely destroyed in the impact."
"No, I came here today for something else."
Mason took out a bottle of stimulant and gave it to the man and woman . After a few seconds, they woke up. When they saw Zha Kang, they shouted in their language with fear on their faces.
Combined with the dim and enclosed scene around it, it does have an 18+ feel.
"Shh!"
Mason put his hand to his lips and asked them to be quiet.
Of course this was useless but the young man didn't care because he had warned him anyway.
He took a step back.
At the same time, the zombie cat on Mason's shoulder stretched its body and jumped down from a high place. In the air, it broke the Animagus spell in the form of a symbiote possession, and turned back into the form of an old witch when it landed.
The pair of scarlet cat eyes sparkled in the darkness. The two guys tied to the chairs obviously knew Professor McGonagall , and were so shocked when they saw her appear that they even forgot to scream.
At Mason's signal, Zha Kang reached out and handed over the Slytherin pendant. Then Mason quietly grasped the handle of the penguin umbrella, and the golden apple in his hand suddenly emitted a golden glow.
This is obviously a trap.
Mason brought his men back to fight the Justice League to the death. In this situation, if he didn't mobilize some people, he would probably be in trouble. Fortunately, Mason was prepared for this.
Zha Kang watched this scene and felt very relieved at this moment.
Well, judging by the various methods Mason is using, he has become a qualified Batboy.
Even though he hated Batboy who flirted with Xiao Zha, he had to admit that it was really nice to have Batboy as an ally when doing such a big thing.
You can throw away your brain or something.
Just do whatever he tells you to do and be prepared for victory... Tsk tsk, no wonder Superman trusts his "external brain" so much.
It's really nice to not have to worry about anything and just punch.
