Chapter 108 Snake Removal Operation (Fourth Update)

After the middle-aged man called the captain gave the order, the Aurors in the temporary command room went to their respective posts to make preparations. Only a few professors and the middle-aged man were left in the command room.

Seeing that there were fewer people inside, Abbott took Mike into the command room and asked their captain, the middle-aged man named Dyna, and Professor Flitwick to ask Mike to join the operation.

Professor Flitwick, who knew the purpose of Abbott's visit to Hogwarts, certainly agreed to this matter, and what surprised Mike was that Captain Dyna, who gave people a very serious feeling, agreed without hesitation.

It seems that Captain Dyna, who has the same name as a superhero in a certain island country, is also unwilling to offend Abbot, the son of his immediate boss.

But during the conversation, Mike found that Dyna's attitude towards Abbott was very strange. It didn't seem like he wanted to deliberately curry favor with him, but more like the attitude towards his juniors.

Finally, Captain Dyna assigned a task to Mike and Abbott, and they went with a team of senior Aurors to search the pipes under the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

Mike's head almost exploded when he heard the news, because the entrance to the secret room was right there. If he and his men searched that area, they would most likely find the secret room and confront the basilisk.

"Um, can we go somewhere else? It's not a good idea for us to go into the girls' bathroom." Mike lied.

As soon as Mike said this, everyone in the command room burst into laughter. They really didn't expect that Mike would still care about such details at this time.

"You're so funny, Mike. You must be joking, right?" Abbott seemed to be a little embarrassed. He hooked his hand around Mike's shoulder and walked out the door with him. "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go." After

leaving the command room, Abbott whispered to Mike, "Mike, don't worry. Uncle Dyna is my father's good brother. He has watched me grow up since I was a child. The place he arranged for us is definitely the safest."

Mike curled his lips, thinking that this time it might be another hard battle. You know, his strong luck gold finger was very active for some time before, and even suspected of overusing it. According to the concept of luck conservation, this operation might be quite dangerous.

But at this point, Mike had to nod and perfunctorily answer Abbott, and quietly entered the closed brain state. It's better

to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Instead of putting hope on those so-called senior Aurors who acted with them, Mike would rather believe in himself.

The two of them successfully came to the girls' bathroom on the second floor. Those Aurors had already arrived and even the initial work had been done.

The girls' bathroom was in a mess. An Auror was dealing with the ghost in the bathroom, Moaning Myrtle. The ghost was very dissatisfied with so many men breaking into the girls' bathroom and was spitting at the Auror. The wash basin, which was the entrance to the secret room, had long disappeared, replaced by a deep hole.

The Aurors obviously knew Abbott, and they all came to greet the two of them.

Abbott was worthy of being the son of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic. He was quite like his father. He eased the tense atmosphere at the scene with his laughter.

Mike did not join their conversation, but directly used his magic to sense the situation in the cave.

Although he knew that the slide at the entrance of the secret room was very long, Mike was still scared after actually sensing it. With his current magic perception strength, he did not even sense the end of the passage.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go down quickly." An Auror said, "Abbot, you and your friends should stay in the middle of the team."

Mike had no objection to the Auror's arrangement, just nodded expressionlessly and walked into the team. He knew that the Auror had already given them preferential treatment, and the position in the middle of the team was often the safest. If you want to get credit, you must do something practical. It's a foolish dream to want to earn credit by sitting in the office with your legs crossed.

The group used the floating spell to enter the pipe that extended diagonally downward in an orderly manner. As soon as they entered the pipe, the brooches on the chests of several Aurors emitted a bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the pipes near them like daylight. The brooches of the first few even emitted a beam of light similar to a strong flashlight, illuminating the road ahead. Light can bring

courage to people. Mike, who was in a closed-brain state, certainly did not have the emotion of fear, but he found that Abbot was obviously relieved when he saw that the surroundings became bright. Mike

couldn't help but laugh in his heart, saying that he was not afraid, it was absolutely safe. But when they really got here, he was the first to get scared.

After teasing Abbott in his heart, Mike regained his mind and focused on being alert to the surrounding environment. He was now heading towards the lair of the basilisk, and he must not be careless.

The inside of this pipe was very humid, and the walls were covered with dark green moss, and the air was filled with a foul smell. Looking at the moss around, Mike felt a little relieved.

The moss here did not show signs of being damaged, which meant that the basilisk had not been to this passage for a long time. If they encountered a basilisk in the passage, they would probably be in danger, as the terrain here was too narrow.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone finally came to the end of the pipe, and a rocky cave appeared in front of them.

An Auror touched the damp stone wall and said, "This may be the cave below the Black Lake. Be alert. We may have caught a big fish!"

Everyone responded. The Aurors formed a triangular tactical formation and moved forward to the depths of the cave. Mike and Abbott were in the middle of the triangular formation, surrounded by the Aurors.

Every time the Aurors walked a distance, they would throw a few glowing stones around. Under the illumination of these lighting stones, the entire cave gradually became brighter.

Although the surroundings were bright, everyone still dared not breathe. Except for the occasional sound of water dripping, all they could hear was their own heartbeats.

"Sha..."

Suddenly, a rustling sound appeared in the silent cave, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throats.

Mike was very familiar with this voice, and he shouted hurriedly: "It's a basilisk! Run!" The

surrounding Aurors were startled by his sudden shout, but their excellent combat skills kept them from panicking. They quickly adjusted their formation and aimed a sharp angle of the triangle formation at the direction where the sound came from. At the same time, a strong light emitted by the brooch had already hit it.

The strong light illuminated the scene in front of them, and the Auror at the sharp angle was stunned and instinctively murmured:

"Merlin..."
