Chapter 443 Zhou Hong's New Change
Zhou Hong rolled his eyes and looked at Mike with resentment.
He attached great importance to the relationship between him and the Freemasons and even his classmates at Hogwarts, and did not want their relationship to change because of the exposure of his non-human identity.
Therefore, Zhou Hong has always been concerned about the test that Mike said he would give him, but he did not expect that Mike did not seem to take it to heart at all. Not to mention helping Zhou Hong test his ability and solve the problem, he did not even look for Zhou Hong a few times!
This made Zhou Hong extremely tormented, and he even thought that Mike had completely given up on him.
But just as he was thinking about it, he was surprised to find that Mike did not give up on him, but simply forgot about it.
Zhou Hong could not bear it now. He had been worried for so long for no reason. If he could not beat Mike, Zhou Hong would have been lying on Mike and giving him a beating!
Mike looked at Zhou Hong, who was full of resentment, and felt a headache. Unlike what Zhou Hong thought, he actually felt that it was no big deal that Zhou Hong was not a human.
After all, this is a magical world. Isn't it normal to make a non-human magic friend? Mike believes that most people in the Freemasons would think so.
But the fact that Zhou Hong stood up twice is real. Mike racked his brains and pondered for a long time before he came up with a relatively feasible compensation plan.
"Hey, Zhou Hong, I know it's wrong for me to stand you up!" Mike squatted down and said to Zhou Hong with a smile, "How about this? We will test your ability right now, and then as compensation, I will give you a reinforced customized version of the Firebolt! How about it?"
Zhou Hong didn't say anything, and even deliberately turned his head away from Mike, but his eyebrows trembling slightly when he heard the Firebolt still betrayed his true thoughts.
Seeing this, Mike wanted to laugh.
Like most children in Hogwarts, Zhou Hong also fell madly in love with the sport of Quidditch. Mike didn't believe that a Firebolt couldn't impress him.
If it really didn't work, then the reinforced customized version would definitely be enough.
"Okay, stop being so stubborn, let's go."
Mike grabbed Zhou Hong and dragged him towards the magic training room.
Although the latter still resisted, he half-heartedly followed Mike's movements and walked slowly.
Ten minutes later, Mike brought Zhou Hong to the magic training square.
At this moment, the expressions of both of them were very solemn, and they were no longer relaxed before.
"Zhou Hong, we are going to start the test. After you transform, just use your abilities on me. Don't be afraid of hurting me. Got it?"
Mike said softly, and the latter nodded.
Seeing this, Mike began to slowly retreat, and only after he had made enough safe distance did he make an OK gesture to Zhou Hong.
"Huh!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Hong frowned and began to gather his strength.
Then Mike saw that his exposed skin began to emit a strange purple-black light, and at the same time, the air began to be filled with an ominous smell.
As time went by, the purple-black light on Zhou Hong became more and more intense, and after reaching the final critical point, it suddenly exploded, illuminating almost the entire magic training ground in purple and black.
Mike, who had been looking directly at Zhou Hong, couldn't help but close his eyes under the strong light. This actually did not prevent him from observing Zhou Hong's transformation. After all, he could still use magic perception to observe without vision.
But just as he was about to release magic perception, he felt a familiar tingling pain on his forehead for no reason!
This was a warning before the danger came! And the source of the danger was Zhou Hong in front of him!
Mike was startled, and the whole person reflexively leaped back and retreated more than ten meters. At the same time, the magic perception that had just been extended was also urgently retracted by him. He had a hunch that if he really probed the magic perception on Zhou Hong who was transforming, his mental power would be very likely to be polluted, resulting in unpredictable consequences!
Finally, the purple light in the training ground gradually dissipated, and Mike finally opened his eyes.
But in the next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly!
A humanoid creature over three meters tall appeared out of thin air at the position where Zhou Hong was standing. He seemed to be a creature made entirely of energy, emitting a purple-black light. His long black hair was constantly floating, and a strange face without any appearance was appearing and disappearing under these long hair. Unlike
his upper body, which still maintained a human form, the lower body of this creature had completely become virtual. From Mike's perspective, it was just a ball of black mist, but with the fluctuations of the air, it seemed that there were some tentacles-like organs inside that were constantly wriggling. At the same
time, a pair of huge butterfly-like wings stretched out behind him, with a wingspan of almost an astonishing five meters.
The purple-black wings were covered with strange and mysterious patterns. At first glance, they looked like flowers, but a closer look could clearly see that the patterns on them were actually pairs of green vertical pupils, which were daunting.
Although they were wings, they were not flapped.
The creature just floated quietly in the air, staring at Mike motionlessly.
Mike's heartbeat began to speed up slowly as he was staring at it. Since the creature appeared, the air around it was filled with an ominous atmosphere, which made Mike feel uneasy.
Mike really wanted to use a fireball or a killing curse, because at this moment, all his cells were warning him that the creature in front of him definitely did not belong to this world and was extremely dangerous!
But Mike finally restrained this desire, because his last bit of reason was still reminding him that this creature was Zhou Hong.
After taking a few deep breaths, Mike finally took a step, forcibly suppressing the creepy feeling and said:
"Zhou Hong, can you hear me? Are you still rational now?"
"Of course, I just changed my body, not possessed by a monster. Did you misunderstand something?"
Zhou Hong's helpless voice suddenly sounded from Mike's heart, but the strange creature in front of him did not move.
This situation reminded Mike of the queen ant in Avery's secret realm, who also communicated with him through this kind of telepathic communication.
This also directly proves the fact that Zhou Hong's mental power has been greatly enhanced after the transformation, because at this moment, Mike is using the brain occlumency technique, but this still cannot prevent Zhou Hong from transmitting the voice into his mind.
However, Mike is still not sure how strong Zhou Hong's mind-reading ability is after the transformation. If even the brain occlumency technique cannot defend against this kind of mind-reading ability, then Mike will have to reconsider his attitude towards Zhou Hong. With this
in mind, Mike is ready to start a wave of tests on Zhou Hong.
But before he can open his mouth, Zhou Hong's voice rang out again from the bottom of his heart.
"Mike, let me tell you about my current situation. First of all, I feel that after the transformation, all my original abilities have been greatly enhanced, especially the ability to control and read minds. Originally, my abilities were completely useless against wizards like you who have super mental power and master the brain occlusion technique. But now, although I still cannot read your thoughts, I can use my mental power to project sounds into your mind. In addition, I can also use my strong mental power to interfere with your behavior and manipulate some physical substances to a certain extent."
As he spoke, Zhou Hong raised his hands that had almost turned into claws, and then the large sandbags originally used for training around the two of them suddenly floated up and formed a standard five-pointed star around Zhou Hong.
"This is what I mean by manipulating physical objects. In addition, interfering with your behavior means..."
Zhou Hong put down the sandbags and put his right index finger on his forehead.
The next moment, Mike suddenly had a desire to slap himself in the face. This feeling was like a cigarette addiction, but the way to relieve this addiction changed from smoking to slapping himself in the face.
As time went by, this desire became stronger and stronger, and Mike's originally steady breathing became more and more rapid.
But Mike still restrained himself. He was not a little kid with low self-control. He could still endure this level of temptation.
I don't know how long it took, but this strange feeling suddenly disappeared magically.
Mike turned his head to look at Zhou Hong, and saw that the latter's hands were trembling slightly at this moment. Obviously, the feeling just now came from him.
"Is it only to this extent?"
Mike waved his hand and said.
"Do you think this is easy?" Zhou Hong said unhappily, "You know, you are a monster with a mental power that defies the sky. My ability can give you some psychological hints, which is already very good!"
Mike nodded slightly. What Zhou Hong said was indeed right.
This ability may not be effective on him, but it is different on ordinary people.
After a short rest, Zhou Hong continued:
"These are my regular abilities, but the abilities I'm going to show next are different. They are so scary that even I am afraid of them."
"Don't be polite, use them all. Don't worry, you can't hurt me."
Facing Mike's words, Zhou Hong snorted coldly, and then saw the pair of wings behind him gently waved, and a cold and strange breath surged in all directions like a tide!
Under the infection of this breath, the magic lights in the training ground went out one after another. Mike only felt that the light around him was slowly disappearing, and at the same time all his happy memories were slowly dissipating. An indescribable coldness was desperately drilling into his skin, trying to penetrate his limbs!
Mike was very familiar with this feeling. This was the situation that would only occur when approaching the Dementors!
Almost instinctively, Mike waved his wand the first time he felt this breath, and at the same time, he let out a low shout!
"Expecto Patronus!"
A ball of blazing white light exploded from the tip of Mike's staff, bringing light back to the dim training ground and dispelling the cold and evil atmosphere in the training ground.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a series of clear crow calls, the white light at the tip of Mike's staff suddenly condensed into a huge raven, which flapped its wings and flew high. After circling in the air for a while, it flew towards Zhou Hong with endless light! Facing the
huge raven rushing towards him, Zhou Hong instinctively raised his arm to block in front of him. At the same time, the purple light around him also condensed, trying to resist the attack from the raven patronus.
However, this was in vain. Facing the patronus raven, Zhou Hong's hastily condensed power was completely vulnerable. It was only illuminated by the scattered residual light and quickly melted away like ice and snow!
"Stop!"
Zhou Hong screamed from Mike's heart, and he raised the corner of his mouth and flicked his magic wand lightly.
Then the raven guardian god, which was originally full of murderous intent, turned around in the air and landed lightly on Mike's shoulder. While arranging the white light feathers on his body, he stared at Zhou Hong quietly. After
Zhou Hong was purified of the purple energy around him by the raven guardian god, he finally couldn't maintain his transformation state. He regained his human form and sat on the ground gasping for breath.
"It seems that this transformation increases your shortcomings while enhancing your abilities."
Mike said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the restraining effect of the patronus spell on Zhou Hong. If Zhou Hong's power was really so strong that even he couldn't suppress it, then it would be difficult for him to get along with him on an equal footing.
At least Mike would be wary of him.
So this situation is almost the best result now. Although Zhou Hong's power has increased to an amazing level, he still has a fatal weakness that can be easily suppressed by himself.
"Hehe, isn't this exactly what you want?"
Zhou Hong said unhappily.
Mike, whose thoughts were exposed, scratched his nose in embarrassment and joked:
"Are you sure your mind-reading ability doesn't work on me? Why do I feel like you know exactly what I'm thinking?"
"That's not hard to guess, your mouth is almost crooked from smiling!"
"Uh..."
Mike was speechless, he stepped forward to help Zhou Hong up, and changed the subject:
"Okay, let's stop the test today. I see you've sweated a lot, go take a shower first, and then come to the restaurant to prepare for dinner."
Mike was about to help Zhou Hong walk out of the training ground, but the latter grabbed Mike and said:
"Wait, I still have one last ability that I haven't demonstrated to you."
"But, you have already exited the transformed state..."
Mike's words stopped abruptly, because at this moment, a creature that he was very familiar with appeared in front of him - the Dementor!
"Did you see it?"
Zhou Hong said with a smile, while his right index finger kept turning, and the Dementor that suddenly appeared kept moving along with the movement of the index finger, looking like a piece of rag tap dancing in the air, weird and terrifying.
"Completely under my control, even if I am not in the transformed state. This is the strongest ability I have gained."
Mike's breathing became rapid, and he knew very well the horror of this ability.
It is not without reason that Dementors are the most disgusting creatures in the world. They are evil and irrational, and cannot be restrained at all.
But at the same time, their lethality to other creatures is also extremely terrifying. As long as the problem of their inability to distinguish between friend and foe is solved, they are the most useful thugs!
"How many can you control?"
Mike blurted out.
"The current highest record is ten, but I feel that this is far from my limit!"
Hearing this, the arc of Mike's mouth became bigger and bigger.
