All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 50 Devil’s Pepper Curry (revised, rewritten twice, typos corrected)

After entering the gate, you can see an open stone chamber, which is a rectangular room that is at least 10 yards square by visual inspection. Allen looked around the room. It was a room with a distinct Indian style. The floor was made of chlorite. An obelisk was erected at the entrance. It was small at the top and large at the bottom. The top was pyramid-shaped. The decorations in the room are rich and luxurious, and the colorful reliefs on the stone walls have faded, but the four-handed man and the wheels of the three-wheeled chariot can be faintly seen on the wall.

The raised arcs and wrong copper work on the mural with complicated lines have been partially peeled off. This room must have been carefully decorated, although now there is only dust.

Staring at the vaguely four-handed male figure on the mural, Allen thought of the moon god described in the information left by Albert. However, the style of this mural looked a bit weird and inconsistent. It was probably from a native British believer. This kind of forced mixing and matching of multiple cultural styles will occur.

There are three giant stone doors in this stone chamber - one on the left and right walls, and the third door is directly opposite the entrance. They lead to the depths of this place...

The hiss of heavy rain and the howl of the wind were occasionally drowned out by the roar of thunder. The room still looks solid, at least for the most part. Even though the thunderstorm was so violent that it almost shook the earth, only a small amount of dust leaked out from the cracks in the rock in the ceiling.

However, there were constant banging sounds coming from the door on the far left side of the stone room. It showed signs of fragility, seeming to tremble slightly with every roar of thunder and every impact.

Suddenly, with a particularly violent thunderbolt, a door was smashed open at the same time, making a harsh cracking sound and smashing into their respective doorways. In the flying smoke, Allen saw a large group of rats behind the door, but They seemed to be frightened by the collapse at this moment, squeezing and retreating.

The rats poured out of the door one after another after a moment of sluggishness. Alan thought they must have been frightened by the thunder, and they ran away in panic, their screams echoing in the room. However, Allen soon discovered that these mice were different from ordinary mice. Their eyes were red, and there was an unknown reddish-brown sticky liquid on their teeth. They were like crazy. As long as they touched each other, they would... While biting indiscriminately and with all their strength, black, thin, sticky excrement spewed out from their anuses. It was not like the granular excrement of normal mice, but was almost in a paste-like and liquid state. Biao splashed onto the floor and onto other mice. As they walked across the floor, they left behind traces of black feces, yellow urine, and red and black blood...

Allen's stomach was tumbling and his throat was itchy. He overturned his previous thoughts. These mice were not frightened by the thunder. They were probably suffering from a contagious disease, which caused them to show such a crazy state on a large scale. .

In the state of the Disillusionment Curse, Allen tightened his grip on the staff in his hand. He just slowed down his breathing and stayed there quietly until after a while, he confirmed that even if these rats made a lot of noise, Nothing else came out to check, so he faced the group of rats.

As Allen moved, the mice that were sensitive to sound suddenly stopped and twitched their noses, revealing their chisel-like teeth - the Disguise Curse could hide the figure but had no effect on sounds and smells. , the mice discovered it.

Allen quickly looked around the room and was relieved to see that there were no flammable tapestries or other items in the stone room.

"Freeze." (The curse designed by the director in the second part of the movie version.) Allen waved the wand widely to cast the freezing spell, and the invisible force turned the big rats with grinning teeth and gray-black bodies. Purple light flashed across their bodies, and they were all frozen in place. Only their small eyes could still blink.

"Fire is raging." The cone-shaped scorching flames spurted out from the tip of Allen's staff. As he waved, the blazing flames surrounded the rats that were frozen in place with their teeth and claws spread. They spread along the fur, and flesh and blood were heard in the air. There was a burning smell, and the sound of skin cracking and oil being ignited was heard in my ears.

Allen just used the freezing spell to immobilize these guys in order to prevent them from running around. Seeing the piles of ashes left on the chlorite floor after burning, Allen frowned. He didn't want to step on the ashes of these mice. "Sweep them clean with a whirlwind." These ashes, along with the original material on the floor, Some dust was sucked away in a swirl.

After the floor was clean again, Allen just walked towards the broken door directly opposite the entrance. It was a long and deep corridor. Allen stepped lightly. He walked to the end of the corridor with vigilance. There was another stone door. He used the method before entering the door to probe behind the door again with his wand. Allen screened He held his breath. Unlike last time, this time he heard the sound of human conversation.

Allen heard a man with a strong Indian accent and weird English say triumphantly: "You lose, just feed the devil pepper directly, of course the mice will have no reaction after eating it. You have to make it spicy like me." Curry can have the effect.”

Immediately afterwards, an angry man with a native British accent spoke in a rough voice: "Since the effect is so amazing, it will be up to you to clean up these crazy rats after they calm down."

"That won't work! I won the bet, so of course you go. You have to fulfill the bet and drive these crazy mice to the spiders." The man who spoke English with an Indian accent flatly refused, "You British gentlemen are going to Break your promise?"

"Okay, I'll go...I shouldn't bet with you." The man with a British accent said reluctantly, followed by a dull sound, as if he kicked something down. There were rustling footsteps behind the door, but they rang a few times and then stopped, as if the man was reluctant to leave.

"Howard, you coward, don't be afraid, spiders don't have that good appetite. There are so many mice here, they don't lack food, not to mention the intruders we threw in a few days ago, they may not be in a hurry to eat them, and they won't attack. Yours." The wizard with an Indian accent noticed the other person's fear and said nonchalantly, "And it's just some spiders. Are you afraid even if you have a wand? I promised your mother to take care of you. They are not peanuts and will not make you allergic. Deadly..."

"Rajesh, you just haven't been bitten by a spider!" The man with a British accent named Howard retorted, "You, a guy who only dares to talk to women after drinking, dare to talk about me... If I had known better, I wouldn't have done this. It’s watery…”

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to the stone door. Allen took a few steps back and stood against the wall. The stone door opened. There were many broken and rotten tables piled in the room, and some rusty iron tools were spread out on the table.

The wizard with a British accent was short in stature, dressed in all black, with a hooded head and a huge nose, and a small round hat on his head. He looked like he was dressed as a Jew, and he walked out angrily, muttering. The room had a stone door, and Allen glanced into the room that was about to close the door. He saw a tall and thin wizard in Indian clothing standing inside, performing an operation on the skin of some reptile creature that was held open by a wooden frame. Handle it.

Then he made a judgment and felt that just opening the door and going in would not directly solve the problem of the Jewish wizard's safety. Allen turned around and followed him quietly.

The Jewish wizard saw that the corridor was empty and there was no mouse. Although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't think much about it. After all, the light coming from the end of the corridor and the collapsed stones showed that the door had been broken. He just muttered about the pepper. It's too spicy and maybe she should let her mother try it, she said to herself.

The Jewish wizard began to quicken his pace and walked impatiently towards the room where Allen killed the mouse before.

When he walked to the broken door and saw that there was no trace of a mouse outside the door and the ground was cleaner than before, he realized that something might be wrong.

Just when he was about to turn back and call someone, a childish male voice shouted out of thin air, "Bat Spirit Curse", and a creepy feeling crawled all over his body. He could clearly feel that there was something coming from inside his nasal cavity. At first, there were many furry things crawling out along the nasal cavity, and soon they rushed out of the nostrils.

At the same time, the Jewish wizard felt a strong pull on his right hand holding the wand. He was frightened and angry. He tried to tighten his grip on the wand that he had almost let go of. He was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but the bat that ran out of his nostril made him scream. I couldn’t shout either. Then the soft little hand holding his hand seemed to explode with strength, and his little finger was broken with a "Gada" sound. The pain in his heart was unbearable for the wizard. As soon as his fingers loosened, the wand fell from his hand.

The Jewish wizard did not hear the sound of the wand falling to the ground. The fallen wand had already been picked up by Allen.

The Jewish wizard's eyes widened. In his horrified gaze, more black bats turned from his boogers began to crawl toward the top of his head. Soon, his entire face was covered by bats flapping their wings. , the Jewish wizard waved his arms randomly, trying to drive them away from his face, but more and more bats were covering his face, and he began to have trouble breathing.

The magic spell Allen used was called the Bat Spirit Curse. The reason why he didn't use the petrification spell and fainting was because Allen still had to ask him to get information about this underground cave and Albert. ——The Bat Spirit Spell comes from "The Book of Spells". The author is Miranda Gorshak, who was born in 1921. When she was born, her family was already somewhat poor. As the youngest of nine sisters, she found that she was always It was hard to get her sisters to listen to her. Therefore, she sometimes borrows this spell invented by herself to keep them silent temporarily to give herself enough time to speak. Therefore, the "Book of Spells" contains this evil curse that can be regarded as black magic. The content has sparked controversy, but Miranda Gorshak points out that including moderately offensive charms in the textbooks helps prevent students from resolving disputes by using more dangerous charms.

Allen thought he had to be more careful in this place where intruders could be caught at will and fed to spiders. In fact, if the person who had the accident was not his eldest brother, Ravenclaw's reason told him that he should give up the mission. , go directly back to find an adult to solve the problem - of course, if the Gryffindors look at this matter, they will probably think that the cowardly students of the Eagle Academy are starting to give in.

Taking a deep breath and making up his mind, Allen raised his wand to the upper right, and then drew a sand funnel shape in the air that was almost emerging, and a magic spell hit the Jewish wizard's chest. (Author's note: There are some magic spells on and around the official website that give specific wand-waving postures.)

The wizard arched his body in pain, clenched his hands into fists, and grabbed his chest with exposed veins, exposing his hairy chest. Then, his body twitched continuously and collapsed to the ground, his body bones The limbs and torso were twisted and deformed, showing grotesque postures. Those deformed bone spurs poked his tiny nerves and his internal organs, and the unbearable severe pain passed along the nerves and into his brain. The wizard's body felt like it was pierced by thousands of knives at the same time. He wanted to shout crazily and moan, but the effect of the bat spirit spell made him hold all the pain in his mouth and could only let out a low roar. He was completely unable to do so. vent.

Seeing the effect of this spell, Allen's head sank slightly, his brows furrowed and his lips pursed. He was eager to get the news about his brother Albert, so he used this relatively cruel transformation torture spell in desperation, deciding to subdue him first and then ask questions to avoid wasting time, but the damage caused was a bit unexpected for him who used it for the first time. .

This curse is different from the Cruciatus in the Unforgivable Curse. The person hit by the Cruciatus Curse will feel piercing pain all over the body, but the curse itself will not cause physical harm, but the Cruciatus pain will cause the person who was cast the spell to suffer. The person who is hit will be even more painful and miserable. If he keeps casting the spell, the person who is hit will go crazy with pain or even die. Compared with the Cruciatus Curse, the Transformation Torture Curse is also a curse of black magic, but its principle also has the characteristics of transformation. It tortures the victim by deforming the victim, and ultimately leads to his death.

The Transformation Torture Curse is not suitable for use in combat because the casting gestures are more complicated than ordinary spells and the casting speed is slow, so it is not suitable for use in combat, but it is more suitable for torture than the Cruciatus in the Unforgivable Curse. Although this Transformation Torture Spell will cause intense pain, it is controllable. As long as the bones around the opponent's mouth are not damaged, at least the recipient can still communicate normally. The pain caused by the Transformation Torture Spell is the physical pain caused by the transformation effect. It is a very convenient spell for wizards to cure. As long as it does not cause fatal damage, it will not cause death. In fact, it cooperates with the healing spell. Just like before, with a cup of magic medicine Sheng Gu Ling, he could be alive and kicking the next day. The damage caused by Crucio, especially after the person goes crazy, is often irreparable, so it is planned as one of the three unforgivable curses. (Author's note: The famous Gilderoy Lockhart stated in the second part that this transformation torture spell was the spell to "kill" Mrs. Norris, but Dumbledore soon discovered that Mrs. Norris had not Death, but just being petrified.)

"What are you going to do in a place like this?" Allen temporarily stopped the transformation and torture spell. He had no intention of wasting time playing hide and seek with these people in this cave. He kicked the Jewish wizard who had fallen to the ground and asked directly. , "I will untie the bat from your face, but if you dare to call me random words, I will kill you with a magic spell."

The Jewish wizard who nodded repeatedly found that the bats had been eliminated. Although the injuries on his body were not further aggravated at this time, he was still in great pain. His whole body was shaking slightly, and he said painfully but clearly: "This is where local believers... use it for sacrifices." The temple of the Indian moon god...please spare me, sir, I didn't do anything...huh? How did you..."

Only then did the Jewish wizard really notice the appearance and age of the attacker - if it weren't for the pain that was spreading all over his body and the childish voice of the attacker that he just heard, it would have been very strange for him, even if he had just experienced it personally. It was impossible to mistake the eleven or twelve year old boy with light blond hair in front of him as the attacker.

Allen noticed the other party's gaze, but he kept his indifferent expression: "You would feed people to spiders casually, why? Did you just say where the person who was fed to spiders was imprisoned? What did he look like? "

"It wasn't me...it wasn't me who did it! It was them...they were afraid that the Ministry of Magic would find out...so those fanatics caught him and fed him to spiders..." Cold sweat fell from the wizard's head, and he looked at it. There was a dazed look on Allen's face, "That one is an Auror, older than you... very similar in appearance to you, both have light blond hair..."

"Has his wand been confiscated by you?" Allen pointed his wand at the wizard, trying to make his voice, which had not yet changed, become colder.

"It's broken," the wizard shouted quickly when he saw Allen's frown, "It wasn't me, it was my companion who broke his wand."

Just now, Allen originally planned to break the Jewish wizard's wand, but thinking that Albert might also lose his wand, he temporarily changed it to confiscate the Jewish wizard's wand. Now it is confirmed that Albert's wand has indeed been destroyed. , he decided to give Albert the Jewish wizard's wand and let him try to see if he could cast some spells.

"How many people are there? How big are the spiders and how many are there?" Time was running out, so Allen only asked a few key questions.

The Jewish wizard's body was like limp noodles, with no strength at all. His head dropped to the ground. His eyes did not dare to look at Allen and he unconsciously stared at the ground. He was silent for a while.

Allen snorted impatiently and moved his wand slightly. The bones of the wizard's left leg suddenly deformed and pierced his thigh as if they were broken. He let out an even more painful scream. The Jewish wizard's face was filled with fear and he could no longer bear the pain. Blood was already flowing on his legs, and in the blink of an eye, the ground beneath him was stained red. He weakly begged for mercy: "Stop, I said it."

"Don't play this trick on me. The next thing that comes out of your nose won't be a bat, it will be your own cervical vertebrae." Alan threatened after putting down his wand again. In fact, he used this Dao Magic Curse cannot currently perform such precise operations.

"Don't do it! I'll tell you everything!" The Jewish wizard replied feebly and with a trembling voice: "There are seven of us in total. We stay here to use the altar circle and the power of the moon to lift the curse on the moon gem. I didn’t dare to take a closer look at the spiders, but there are only a few of them. They are pets brought by Indian wizards. They are Indian relatives of the Acromantula, but they are neither as big nor as powerful as them! "

Because of fear and pain, the Jewish wizard's body began to tremble non-stop again, his face was pale as if it were coated with a layer of white frost, and his clothes were soaked with blood gushing from his body. He was worried that Allen would torture him again. He could see that Allen was obviously here for the Auror, so he told everything he knew in one breath, "The Auror was locked up in the spider's room by us. You can go along with it." Go forward along the tunnel, ignore the middle door and go to the rightmost one, and you can find him. He should not be in danger for the time being. The Indian wizard with me used to play a musical instrument to attract many rats in an attempt to eliminate the rat infestation here. , let them bring it to your door as food for the spiders. The spiders are not short of food and eat very slowly..."

Allen glanced at the other person's bloodshot eyes that started to move crazily because of the pain. The movement of waving the wand paused slightly. He raised his head and took a deep breath. His eyes seemed to be attracted by the murals on the wall, as if he was escaping. He no longer looked at the wizard, but he did not stop waving the wand: "Everyone is petrified."

The Jewish wizard's eyes widened following Allen's spell, and his low roar became more and more terrifying, followed by a miserable and short gasp, and his broken body was bound by the spell, and his hands and feet were tightly attached to it. It was as if his body was no longer his. Almost instantly, the skin of his body was bulged and cracked by some deformed bones. Blood began to seep out from under the black robe, and the places that had been tortured by the Transformation Torture Curse had strange shapes.

"Don't blame me. Your behavior is more abominable than some dark wizards. You want to feed living people to spiders unscrupulously..." Allen said this sentence in a cold voice, which was actually his own excuse, " Howard? That's the name, right? If you're lucky enough, the person I'm looking for is still alive, and he can cast Heal and Forget for you, and you can see your mother again."
