Chapter 640: underestimate the enemy (1/2)
Thirty seconds ago, Tom, who used magic to control Ginny Weasley's body, had been silently paying attention to the position of Albert's ink dot on the diary, quietly waiting for the opponent to step into his attack range like a viper.
Tom came to the basilisk, intending to let the Muggle wizard be killed by the basilisk's eyes, he could witness the truth of the matter with his own eyes. This was the last kindness that Voldemort gave.
However, Tom's wicked taste did not go as expected.
After a few seconds, things changed unexpectedly.
The diary marked Albert Anderson's ink dots, and suddenly stopped moving forward, turning back and leaving in the direction where he came.
Tom was stunned for a few seconds. The first reaction to recover was that the other party noticed the ambush, so he turned around and left.
No, it should be said that the Muggle wizard knew from the beginning that he would let the basilisk attack him, so it was not too surprising that he would react like this.
However, how did the other party realize that he was going to attack him here, or the other party just planned to wander back and forth in the nearby corridor, trying to lure him into appearing?
Neither the former nor the latter actually makes sense to Tom Riddle.
Albert's abnormal behavior really made Tom disgusting.
It would be a shame to just watch the baited prey and slip away under his nose like this.
Tom even wondered if the guy with a clever mind was deliberately using this method to provoke himself.
Since the ambush failed, Tom didn't want to wait any longer. Without any hesitation, he immediately hissed from his mouth, and directly ordered the basilisk beside him to catch up and kill the guy.
Due to the Easter holiday, most of the students in the castle went home for the holidays. The number of students who stayed in the school was limited, and the students who stayed in the school were asked by Professor McGonagall to stay in their own common room or library. Most areas of Hogwarts Castle are totally unoccupied, not to mention that Tom has been using the Footprint Charm to monitor the entire castle secretly, which is why he can accurately find Albert.
Of course, even if someone strayed into it, it didn't matter. After Dumbledore was driven away by his minor tricks, no one in the school could stop him.
After receiving the owner's order, the basilisk twisted his body excitedly and chased him in the direction of Albert's escape.
That was the prey, the food the owner allowed it to eat, which made the eyes of the basilisk that had been hungry for a long time even more cripple.
The basilisk's eyes stared straight at the fleeing figure in the hallway, his mouth made a slight hiss, as if to say: ”...tear you...kill you...eat you...”
Although Albert didn't understand snake language, the cold vision from behind and the sound of the basilisk's heavy body sliding across the marble floor made the hairs on his back stand.
Fu Ling Ji (intuition) is frantically reminding him that he can't look back, don't look back, he will die, he will be killed by the eyes of the basilisk.
Under the pressure of death, Albert ran quickly.
Even if he didn't look back, he knew that the basilisk had caught up, and as expected, the basilisk was faster than himself.
”You can't escape!”
Tom Riddle walked out from the corner, looking at the back fled in embarrassment, with a happy smile on his face.
The basilisk got closer and closer to Albert, and was about to pounce on him, tearing him to pieces completely.
However, the smile on Tom's face froze.
He saw that the Muggle wizard had thrown something behind him, and a large cloud of weird yellow smoke rose up in the corridor.
From the hiss of the basilisk, Tom could perceive that the basilisk seemed to hate the smoke and the smell in the air.
In fact, Tom could smell the pungent smell that made him uncomfortable from afar, and he had to use a bubble head curse to isolate his head from the outside world to avoid breathing the poisonous gas in the corridor.
”Is this your support?” Tom murmured, finally understanding why the Muggle wizard had the courage to challenge the basilisk. It turned out that he had found a way to expel the basilisk.
This kind of trick made Tom feel ridiculous. He waved Ginny's wand and stirred up a gust of wind, sweeping away all the poisonous gas in the corridor.
”Don't let him run away, catch up and kill him.”
Tom continued to give orders to the basilisk in a snake-like voice, let it continue to chase the embarrassed figure in front, and dare to provoke his own fellow, Tom would never allow the other to escape like this.
Albert is not as embarrassed as Tom thought. The blessing potion has improved his stamina very well, and he has been exercising a while ago, so Albert is still comfortable.
Fear, fear?
is a bit.
Everyone is afraid of death.
Fortunately, Albert was able to keep his head calm, and he was even thinking about how to use the props he prepared to blind the basilisk and kill him.
I can fight back!
This is probably Albert's current mentality.
Yes, his mentality is slightly expanded.
Fu Ling Ji (intuition) reminded him all the time that it was easy to kill the basilisk by relying on his previous preparations.
What really frightened Albert was the eyes of the basilisk. As long as the basilisk was blinded, he could kill it in countless ways.
When there were countless ways to kill the basilisk in Albert's mind, new quests even appeared on the task panel, which made him feel itching, and wanted to try to kill the basilisk behind him.
However, Albert quickly suppressed the writhing thoughts in his mind, never forgetting his purpose, and he knew better that ”I can kill” is just an illusion. Try to die.
Gou point, nothing bad.
