This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Nagini is a viper, and its scales will never be so bright.

"Hiss--" The snake's tail, which is only slightly narrower than an adult's shoulder width, swept down.

"Thunder Explosion--"

Vincent's blasting spell, which can easily blow up a wall, only bounced off this tail.

Under the rolling smoke and dust, he half-crouched and pulled Hermione up, "Run! It's definitely not Nagini!"

She covered her left arm and looked at the stairs hesitantly.

"This is the third floor, it must be Lockhart!"

"Hiss--" Snakes have poor eyesight and rely on spitting tongues to collect environmental information.

"Flames--" The flame on the tip of Vincent's wand fell at the entrance of the corridor, "He has no ability to bring back such a giant snake."

Hermione frowned and ran down the stairs behind him, "It is indeed not something that the expansion spell can do to crack the wall."

"That color--" Vincent suddenly stood there stupidly.

Because the stairs were blocked.

"Someone is playing tricks!" He raised his wand and pointed it at the window next to him.

Attacks, road blocking, and heavy rain outside.

The giant snake is just the surface, someone is controlling all this behind the scenes.

Hermione immediately thought of the house elf that prevented Harry from returning to school.

"Let me see your hand." Vincent caught the flying suitcase, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice it just now."

If you want to go down, you can only climb through the window. It will be very dangerous to stay here.

Even if the weather is fine, it is difficult to leave with an injured arm.

She rolled up her sleeves, "It should not be broken."

Vincent threw a few smoke bombs upstairs, and then looked at her elbow with blue skin.

"Fortunately, it's just a contusion." The alder wand tapped her arm.

"It may hurt a little."

"Try to be gentle-ah!"

Before she was mentally prepared, the "healing as new" spell had been recited.

Contusion is an injury to the skin or subcutaneous tissue caused by a blunt object. Hitting the elbow on the ground will definitely hurt the bone.

"Sorry, we don't have time." Vincent tied the rope firmly to the windowsill, "You go down first."

Hermione moved her arm slightly, and the previous severe pain was gone.

She climbed onto the windowsill and held the rope tightly with both hands.

At this moment, the giant snake on the building seemed to be smoked by the smoke and kept hitting the corridor on the third floor.

"Go!" Vincent put on a gas mask and installed the magazine of the gun blade.

"You must be careful!" Hermione shouted in the rain and went down along the rope.

"Bang bang--" The stones that the giant snake knocked down were all broken one by one by the orichalcum bullets.

He glanced out the window.

The man hiding in the dark didn't seem to plan to show up.

The target was not Hermione, at least not the main one.

"Hiss--" The giant snake seemed to have adapted to the smoke and was crawling down the stairs little by little.

Through the goggles of the gas mask, Vincent could vaguely see a huge shadow coming out of the smoke.

He quickly pulled the trigger, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

The orichalcum bullets that could penetrate the mithril wall were barely embedded in the emerald green scales of the giant snake.

"Shit! Hasn't this thing appeared for hundreds of years!"

The giant snake's eyes were dark orange and full of ominousness. Vincent felt dizzy as soon as he met it.

He looked up and swept across the two round protrusions on the forehead.

This was not a giant snake, but a basilisk born from an egg hatched by a toad!

Without any hesitation, a large string of orichalcum bullets shot over.

Looking directly at it would kill instantly, and the venom was a highly toxic poison that could only be cured by phoenix tears.

Vincent gradually felt the heaviness of his body.

Fortunately, he only looked through the goggles, but this kind of sight that violently stopped the body's movement was difficult for him, a natural master of brain occlusion, to resist.

He held the trigger tightly and kept firing bullets embedded in the scales of the basilisk's head.

Its body was so big that it didn't even need to aim on the narrow stairs.

The sound of clanging and clanging lasted for a long time until the sound clearly began to hit the wall. Vincent finally loosened his index finger that was holding the trigger with difficulty.

Hundreds of orichalcum bullets, more than two minutes.

He knelt on one knee on the ground, unable to support himself.

This feeling was like being petrified. The mind was no different, but the body became heavier and heavier.

The hands holding the gun blade were almost unable to hold on, but he knew that the basilisk did not choose to retreat.

It was waiting patiently, waiting for the moment he fell.

This was not a personal grudge, this was a naked murder.

His mind became more active than ever, and he seemed to hear the basilisk on the third floor using its tail to remove the bullets.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe 5 minutes, maybe 5 hours.

Just as the basilisk was about to come down again, a large piece of red flame appeared in front of Vincent.

"Professor Dumbledore--"

"Where is it?"

"On the third floor."

Dumbledore held his shoulders, "Did you find anyone suspicious?"

"No, but I know what it is."

Vincent barely stood up with the help and began to slowly lower his hands.

"How do you feel?"

"It's terrible, as if I've become an old man."

Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand, "It's just my body."

Any magic will be greatly enhanced under the blessing of the Elder Wand.

This increasingly heavy feeling has stopped getting worse.

"A very ancient and evil magic." Dumbledore's expression was very solemn, "Could it be that the Chamber of Secrets——"

He looked down at Vincent, who was wearing a mask, "The reason why Hagrid was expelled is probably because of what was inside."

"Professor, it is very large and has lived for at least seven or eight hundred years."

"Fawkes will take you to the campus hospital." Dumbledore let go of his hand and walked upstairs.

Fox, who was slightly smaller than Gugu, was surrounded by flames and appeared in the school hospital with Vincent.

Madam Pomfrey was applying potion to Hermione, and the twins were also there.

"Dude, what the hell was that?"

"Basilisk."

Luofu's expression changed drastically, "Are you sure it's it?"

Vincent sat down obediently under Madam Pomfrey's unkind gaze.

"The teacher once read me a book that contained the origin and introduction of the basilisk,"

It doesn't mean that any toad or any egg can hatch a basilisk.

The Jewish Book of Abraham only has sources and no clear conditions and steps.

Salazar Slytherin successfully made a double snake staff, and the basilisk just now obviously has two horns.

Madam Pomfrey handed Vincent a bowl of dark brown bubbling potion, "Drink it and go to bed early. It will give you a good dream."

Under the expressions of a few people who were hesitant to speak, he took a deep breath and drank it in one gulp.

The pain is real and the effects are immediate.

Vincent moved his arms and found that the heaviness he felt just now had slowly begun to disappear.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Madam Pomfrey scanned the six little ones one by one, "Hey - eat something first, and remember not to talk too late."
