Chapter 234 32. Anti-super tactics, start!
Seeing Professor McGonagall jumping out of the Animagus cat form in the state of the venom symbiote, not only were the two neon wizards in front of them frightened, but Zha Kang was also shocked.
The guy almost put the burning cigarette butt in his mouth.
He had known before that there was something wrong with Selina's zombie cat, and he had heard the story of Animagus from Mason, but he never thought that one day he would actually witness this scene with his own eyes.
"Hey, isn't she dead?"
Constantine, who handed over the pendant box, stood behind Mason and poked his shoulder, asking in a low voice.
Mason shrugged and said:
"I didn't say she was alive.
This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two, but don’t tell Selina, she was scared to death just now, and she always thought I was teasing her by saying Professor McGonagall was a witch.
Shh, shut up now and watch her show. ”
But Professor McGonagall wasn't acting.
The cold air and murderous intent she was exuding at this time were undeniable. Coupled with her withered ghost-like face and the strangely moving symbiote on her body, she looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
She hobbled like a legendary witch who could eat children. She walked up to the two traitorous wizards with frightened faces and said nothing nonsense in a tone that could scare a child to tears:
"In your name, invite the traitors of Durmstrang and Ilvermorny to come here! Tell them that you have discovered traces of the Sorcerer's Stone and the legacy of Hogwarts here."
The two wizards were tortured terribly but they did not go crazy. Faced with this request, the two looked at each other and shook their heads wildly.
"You might as well kill me."
The female wizard whispered:
"The news about our team's attack must have spread. They won't believe it. We won't survive if they come. The result will be the same."
"You are dead!"
The wizard is even more direct.
He stared into Professor McGonagall's scarlet eyes and said:
"I saw with my own eyes that you were infected, Minerva, and we are willing to die in your hands if this will allow you, a dead person who does not want to die, to rest in peace."
"Well, how innocent and lovely, as wizards, you actually think that death is the end of everything."
Professor McGonagall touched the Slytherin pendant with her withered and slender fingers. As she silently recited the opening spell of this thing, the cold wind blew from the darkness of the closed room, and went straight to the human bones. Inside, there were still faint calls and cries ringing around.
Feeling something was wrong, Zha Kang immediately grabbed the trident staff in his bag.
This thing infused with purifying divinity shined brightly as soon as it was taken out, illuminating the surroundings of him and Mason, and driving away the black-robed creature behind them that had stretched out its hand toward them.
"I command! The evil retreats!"
Constantine imitated the white wizards and scolded him with a majestic expression. He tapped his staff downwards and turned the surrounding area into a place of purification, allowing warmth to return to their bodies.
He looked around at the masked objects that were summoned by Professor McGonagall and were surrounding the three people in front of him, spinning in circles like black gauze. The face without facial features reflected a ferocious look like a drowned person.
Just looking at it made Zha Kang feel a headache.
He could feel that the few positive emotions in his heart were quickly dissipating, replaced by various emo and world-weary emotions.
My whole mind felt as if it was frozen, and why did I suddenly feel the urge to cry?
"What the hell is this? The legendary dementors? I thought they were buried with wizarding civilization when the end of Hogwarts came."
He removed his eyes and said to Mason, who had already covered his eyes with a hat and was still observing silence:
"Explain to me how to use that pendant. I feel like I underestimated it."
"That is indeed a dementor, a monster that feeds on the positive emotions of living beings. It eats the soul and leaves only the body like a walking zombie, as you can see in the book.
They were among the most dangerous spirit creatures in that ruined world.
As for the pendant, you can think of it as a spellcasting core that allows you to cast various seals, but its previous owner sealed many dangerous things in it.
Dementors are just a first-level thing.
I didn't give it to you just to play with. You might need it this time when you go to the watchtower. What I mean is that in extreme cases, if you encounter a Kryptonian, you can use it to find ways to restrain or restrain him.
As we all know, the ‘magic resistance’ of Kryptonians has always been a big problem. ”
Mason briefly introduced his plan, but was then refuted by Zha Kang:
"Your statement is too one-sided. It is true that compared to Da Chao's body of steel, he does not have much resistance to magic. However, it is rumored that Da Chao has low magic resistance. This is only compared to his almost perfect physical resistance. Conclusion.
Kryptonians are not afraid of fireballs.
In fact, most magic has very poor effects on them, just like being covered with a layer of dragon scales. If any wizard can really deal with Superman, then the giants of Zhenglian will not be able to stand up.
As far as I know, there are at least a dozen evil spellcasters who have been beaten to the point of doubting their lives. ”
Having said this, the black magician looked at the pendant box in Professor McGonagall's hand, and said with brilliant eyes:
"But this thing is indeed interesting. I will take it back and study it later. If it is as magical as you say, I can indeed use it to do some tricks that will give Kryptonians a headache."
< br>
"Look, those two wizards are knowledgeable. They know what the appearance of these things means."
Zha Kang looked at the two stubborn neon wizards.
Sure enough, as Mason said, after Professor McGonagall opened Slytherin's locket and released the dementors, the two traitorous wizards who had already determined to die struggled wildly like dead fish jumping around.
They yelled but were unable to stop the released Dementors from stretching out their decaying and cold claws towards them. The closest Dementor had already lifted its hood.
"It's coming, it's coming! The legendary 'Dementor's Kiss'."
Mason pointed to Zha Kang like a tour guide and said:
"It is said that it wants to absorb the soul of that guy, but he will not die, but he will no longer feel anything, his will will collapse, and his spirit and all secrets will disappear.
But I don't think they would care if their souls were taken away, since they never use it anyway. ”
"Ah!"
A shrill scream sounded the next moment, and the only hole in the Dementor's face bit into the wizard's forehead like a mouth.
After a brief wailing like a slaughtered pig, a soul was devoured, and the satisfied Dementor obediently returned to the locket in Professor McGonagall's hand.
But there are three other hungry dementors surrounding the remaining witch.
They are really hungry after being locked up for thousands of years.
Professor McGonagall touched the cheek of the frightened witch with her withered fingers. At this moment, the black and sticky symbiont "naughty" extended "tentacles" from her fingertips like a lick on the witch's face. Leaving a trail of blood.
"I'm so hungry, Mag."
Venom said in a turbid tone:
"You won't be able to use that soulless body over there, right? Can you let me give you a toothpaste? In fact, I prefer the fragrant and soft females, especially when they are so scared that they will collapse.
Fear is like the most delicious dip, making their flesh and blood delicious.
Just like this one now. Ouch! ”
The symbiote flew out of Professor McGonagall's hand and turned into a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth in front of the Neon Witch's eyes, trying its best to intimidate it with the power of a fox and a tiger.
The problem is that it seems to be a bit too forceful, and the witches who are frightened by it start to roll their eyes.
"You have one last chance to organize your language, traitor!"
Professor McGonagall said softly.
The venom in her left hand was slowly being recovered, and the pendant that summoned the dementors was hanging on her finger, while her right hand was empty.
It's like a choice that doesn't have a happy ending.
The last witch in the Amaterasu team did not expect to survive, but when the instant death was stretched to a desperate time scale, she also pessimistically discovered that she was not as determined as she thought.
Of course, this feeling is more or less influenced by the golden apple in Mason's hand modifying his thinking.
These high-level wizards have super strong mental power. Without some "auxiliary means", the golden apple in Mason's hand really can't be used to draw pictures in their minds.
The main reason is that these guys have a strange magical protection called Occlumency, which makes Golden Apple's mind rewriting very ineffective on them.
Mason felt the obscure effect of the golden apple, so he pushed Zha Kang. The black magician snorted and stepped forward, squatting in front of the frightened and trembling wizard.
"Isn't it betrayal?"
He stretched out his hand and lit up a ball of fluorescent light in front of her eyes, and said in a conspiratorial manner:
"You've already done it once, so there won't be any psychological pressure if you do it again, right? Only when those heavy blood debts are paid off can you easily go on the road again.
The handsome guy over there is in charge, ma'am.
He can promise that when the other two team members step into the death place prepared for them, your sins will be forgiven, and you can live on, forget the past, and live innocently.
We will ensure this. ”
"I can't contact them."
The neon witch's whole body was trembling. She glanced at her companions whose souls had been devoured by dementors and said:
"Only the captain can."
"Ouch"
The symbiote in Professor McGonagall's hands held something of a promise.
Amidst the vicious roar, it bit the head of the soulless wizard next to it, and with a click, there was only a headless corpse still spitting blood.
"Now, you are the captain."
The zombie witch said expressionlessly.
The prisoner, who was covered in blood, trembled. Her supposedly strong defense completely collapsed at this moment. The golden apple in Mason's hand shone brightly, instantly changing some of her thoughts.
So Zha Kang helped her untie the rope with a wicked smile, gave her pen and paper, and even thoughtfully gave her a writing template.
A few minutes later, Mason and Kang walked out of the dark dungeon.
Professor McGonagall was lying on his shoulder and had already fallen asleep. Being awake supported by this symbiote was very energy-consuming, and she actually couldn't last long.
"Give it to you."
Mason put the pendant that was still exuding the cold air into Zha Kang's hand, patted his shoulder and said:
"Next, do your best."
"Is this really for me? I thought you were just trying to lure me into working hard."
Zha Kang blinked and said in a strange tone:
"Why do I feel like you are bribing me? Then I won't be polite."
"Hey, don't be happy too early."
Mason snorted, crossed his fingers again and said:
"Give me the trident. You have to intercept part of the divinity and hand over the rest. Since we are doing latent work, in order to develop better in the stars, we still need to take the necessary steps.
< br>
But you have to choose a good time to return the mission items.
Tell me, if I hand in a mission while being chased by Dachao, will Mr. Hunter teleport over to save me? ”
"I think you are overthinking. Although I don't quite understand what game you and Mr. Hunter are playing, I guess there must be some intrigue between you that others don't know about.
I have no intention of getting involved, I've never been interested in men. ”
Kang hung Slytherin's locket around his neck, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, popped out two cigarettes, and gave one to Mason.
This time the captain did not refuse.
The two men hid in the dark corridor and puffed away. The black magician held up the coral trident in his hand and used the sacred light as a flashlight.
Under the pale golden light, he leaned against the wall, opened the sleeve of his left arm, and said to Mason:
"Look, the 'purification' of this thing is very powerful. My cursed tattoo has been pressed back to its original state. As long as we continue to find divine power, I can reduce the influence of the damn devil on us. Minimum.
Even elimination.
Although a bit unlikely, I think we should keep hope alive. ”
"Well, John, I had some conversations with the Demon Knight before, and I think it's time to tell you."
Mason flicked the ash from his cigarette and said to Zha Kang who looked happy:
"Have you heard of the recently popular 'candle' theory in the Nine Hells?"
"It's very popular recently? Are you stupid?
The stuff you're talking about was out of date five hundred years ago! Nowadays, all the bastards in the world are as smart as monkeys. Which devil would still use this ancient method?
They are all busy opening nightclubs in the human world now. ”
Zha Kang complained, but he reacted in the next moment.
"Candles? You mean fuck!"
"Look, you got it."
Mason shrugged and said:
"So the root of the problem is not whether we want to dispel the curse, the core of the problem is that we must defeat that Lord of Destiny, otherwise everyone can only burn themselves to support it.
The cunning Jason Blood saw through the problems of the Society of Stars at a glance, so he would rather stay here as a 'Wasteland Ranger' than go back with us.
I know it's hard.
But think on the bright side, as long as Lord Destiny is killed, everyone's curse will be cured. ”
"No, there is another way."
Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring with a gloomy face and said:
"We can blow out the 'candles'!
This is why this ancient theory was abandoned. It placed too much emphasis on the connection between the two parties.
The devil will indeed become extremely powerful with tens of thousands of burning candles, but as long as we kill enough, he will weaken quickly.
And there is another thing that the Demon Knight didn't tell you. This candle's dedication mode is that the deeper you go, the closer the connection becomes. D-level and C-level personnel are just applauded.
Their purpose is to maintain the existence of the devil, but members of Class B and above will feed back more power to the devil when they become stronger.
They are core members.
Do you know what I mean? ”
He slammed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stamped it out, saying:
"Looking for a chance, Mason, we have to catch all the B-class and above personnel. In this way, the Lord Destiny will only cry."
"Well, this is a big project"
Mason narrowed his eyes but did not refuse. Zha Kang laughed twice, moved his body, pinched the pendant box on his chest and looked at it. He waved his hands and said:
"I'll go back and study this thing first, but you don't really think of me as Team K's 'secret weapon' against the Kryptonians, do you? Seriously, Mason, if Superhero really appears in front of me, I will Escaped for a while.
No kidding! ”
"Of course you can try to escape, John."
Mason took out the internal communicator of the Osborne Tower and called up the "intimate clip" of him and the Sea Goddess when he contacted Zha Kang before. He said to Zha Kang whose expression suddenly changed:
"You said if Xiao Zha accidentally saw this in the email."
"Pa"
Mason's communicator was snatched back by Constantine, smashed it on the ground and stepped on it a few times. He yelled at Mason:
"You are so despicable! Batboy has taught you bad things! And this is not something minors should watch!"
"I'm an adult."
Mason shrugged, took out a small USB flash drive, tossed it up and down, and said to Zha Kang:
"This is the handle you gave me. It would be a pity not to make good use of it. I seem to remember someone saying to me that Xiao Zha is the right girl that he will never give up in his life. .
Okay, don't be so straight-faced.
Let's get down to business.
Even without the Big Three, it won't be easy to deal with in the watchtower. I will give you the best support preparations, but John, you must be careful when you go there. "(End of Chapter)
