Chapter 480: The Trick

"Classmates, please move over here, don't hide in the corner! I'm talking to you! Still hiding!"

Franklin shouted at the Ravenclaws. Under his command, the crowd gradually gathered from all over the lounge to the bookshelf and was surrounded by the members of the mutual aid society. And looking at the members of the mutual aid society holding their wands high and alert, it was clear that they were ready to attack them at any time. The students

who were gathered together began to feel uneasy, but no one started to curse or resist like at the beginning. Everyone in the mutual aid society was an old acquaintance, so everyone in Ravenclaw knew very well that if they moved around, the other party would really attack!

So, everyone stood quietly in place, staring at the corner leading to the boys' dormitory with expectant and anxious eyes.

Now they can only hope that the truth potion really has no side effects as Mike said. If the person who walks out of the passage later is stupid, then no matter what Franklin says, no one will agree to be examined.

Franklin was also very clear about this. He gathered the crowd together in order to prepare for compulsory measures.

Now no one in the entire Ravenclaw common room was talking. Time passed bit by bit in the waiting. Just when everyone was almost impatient, a small figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.

"Spyro! How do you feel now?"

"What is it like in there?"

"Did they torture you?"

...

The crowd exploded in an instant. Everyone madly squeezed towards Spyro, asking questions one after another.

This scared Spyro so much that he almost ran back to the examination room.

When he heard what everyone was asking, his expression suddenly became very strange. He fanned his eyes and said,

"I feel pretty good now. Actually, Senior Tang Li..."

Sparrow was halfway through his words when Zhou Hong stood in front of him and said to the crowd,

"Okay, don't embarrass Mr. Green. He just finished the examination and is very tired now. Let him go back to the dormitory to rest first."

As soon as the voice fell, two members of the mutual aid association rushed out from behind Franklin, one of them holding Sparrow on one side and walking to another male dormitory.

The Ravenclaws looked at each other, all with confused faces.

However, compared with before, their expressions were obviously much better. After all, Sparrow's appearance just now did not look like he had become an idiot because of the side effects of the potion. However, this was only the first person to be examined. You must know that even the side effects of the truth serum vary from person to person, so most people choose to wait and see for a while.

But this is a good start after all, so everyone's resistance is much less.

Then the next thing is very simple. As Zhou Hong called the names, students walked out of the crowd with nervous faces. After half an hour of inspection, they walked out of the dormitory with strange expressions but looked very normal. They walked into their own dormitory in front of everyone.

At this time, the Ravenclaws had completely relaxed. They even started to talk and laugh, because they found that Mike was still the same Mike as before and would never do anything to harm them. Franklin

and Zhou Hong were silently observing the changes in people. The task Mike gave them was very simple, that is, to find out the assassin in the crowd.

Yes, they are the auditors of today's inspection.

As for the truth potion, it is of course real, but Mike is not going to let his classmates drink it.

Everyone who took the test actually just chatted with Mike in that dormitory for half an hour, and they didn't drink any potion.

After all, everyone has their own privacy, which will cause Mike's prestige in people's minds for many years to be destroyed, so Mike doesn't want to take this measure unless it is absolutely necessary.

But the assassin hidden in the crowd didn't think so. The truth potion, like the truth serum, had no antidote and completely ignored the brain occlusion. The only thing that could counter it was the Imperius Curse, but the Imperius Curse was too easy to be seen, and it needed to be released by someone else.

Therefore, Mike bet that the assassin would never dare to enter the dormitory. He or she would definitely find a way to escape the inspection. When Mike used the members of the mutual aid association to block most of his ways, his escape method would inevitably be fierce. At this time, it was Franklin and Zhou Hong's turn to take action.

As the number of people gathered in front of the bookshelf in the lounge decreased, Zhou Hong and Franklin's expressions became a little nervous. They knew very well that the so-called assassin might jump out at any time during the next period of time.

However, on the surface, they had to pretend to be relaxed, which made Franklin very uncomfortable. His acting skills were not very good.

Fortunately, Mike also knew this, so the work assigned to him today did not require too much expression change. All the complicated work was basically assigned to Zhou Hong, such as calling the names.

"Clark Kent."

As Zhou Hong sang the name loudly, Franklin's expression became a little more relaxed.

This Clark is an old acquaintance. He is the seventh-year prefect of Ravenclaw. He got along well with Mike and himself during the first period of school.

Franklin's impression of him is that he is a simple nerd. Such a person has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called assassin.

Franklin looked closely and saw a tall and thin boy with black hair slowly walking out of the crowd-this is Clark. Clark's

expression is very natural, and he even smiled.

He looked around and his eyes just bumped into Franklin's.

"Clark, don't be nervous, it's over in half an hour, go quickly."

Franklin said to Clark with a smile. He had a good impression of this senior.

Clark also smiled and nodded to Franklin, and began to walk towards the examination room. However, it was very strange that he always walked close to the wall, which made Zhou Hong suspicious.

He didn't want to be as simple as Franklin, who absolutely knew that he would not be an assassin. In this magical world, even the best friends can betray you for various reasons!

Zhou Hong silently clenched the wand in his hand and looked at Clark vigilantly.

Perhaps he noticed his gaze, Clark suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Hong, then smiled and spread his hands, indicating that he was not threatening.

Franklin on the side also persuaded Zhou Hong not to be so serious, Clark was his own man.

However, Zhou Hong still insisted on his own way. The more Franklin said so, the bigger his movements became. Now his wand was already pointing at Clark.

"Enough, Franklin." Clark said helplessly, "Don't persuade this little brother of Gryffindor. I have seen that your persuasion can only have a counterproductive effect. Let me take the examination."

"Well... okay."

Franklin retreated with an embarrassed expression. Before leaving, he glared at Zhou Hong fiercely, and the other party made him lose face.

But Zhou Hong remained unmoved.

Clark began to move forward slowly. He still walked close to the wall. On the wall leading to the examination room, there was a row of semicircular arched windows unique to Ravenclaw, which was the reason why Zhou Hong was alert.

As Clark moved forward, Zhou Hong became more alert, because Clark was now very close to the examination room, and there was only one arch window left in front of him.

Suddenly, Clark stopped in front of the last arch window and turned his head to smile meaningfully at Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong was startled, and a huge sense of crisis came over him. This feeling was as if the world would be destroyed in the next second, making every cell in his body scream desperately, screaming for him to run away!

Zhou Hong instinctively raised his wand to block in front of him, but before he could release the spell, a huge explosion hit his eardrum, and at the same time, endless light burst out with a powerful shock wave!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Zhou Hong felt that he could not hear or see anything.

At this moment, his eardrum was extremely painful, and his ears were filled with only piercing tinnitus and faint crying and screaming.

As for his eyes, it was even worse. Although

he closed his eyes in time just now, the huge flash that was like the sun exploding still hurt his eyes, making his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.

Most importantly, the damage to the eardrum not only damaged his hearing, but also affected his balance. Now he was struggling on the ground. Although he wanted to stand up very much, his body was completely out of his control. Most of the other

people in the Ravenclaw lounge were also in the same state, lying on the ground wailing in pain. Just now, they seemed to be looking directly at the sun exploding at close range!

And at this moment, there was no Clarke in front of the arched window.

Mike walked out slowly from behind the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw. He had actually arrived when Clarke launched the attack just now, but before he could make a move, Clarke's attack arrived.

Looking at the messy Ravenclaw lounge, Mike's eyes were twitching. The spell Clarke had just used was simply a magical version of a stun grenade, completely ignoring the protection spell, and only relying on huge noise and flashes to subdue the enemy.

"Do you think... you can get away like this?"

Mike grinned and pulled out his wand and waved it quickly in the air a few times. The next second, Mike's figure turned into a shadow and rushed out along the arched window!

The Ravenclaw Common Room is located on the tallest tower on the east side of Hogwarts. Mike started to fall freely as soon as he rushed out of the tower. At the same time, Mike's magic perception was fully turned on, and he easily sensed the familiar figure.

'Southwest direction, mid-air! '

A Firebolt that was summoned by the flying spell fell into his hand. Mike flipped onto the broom neatly and then controlled the broom to fly towards the target that had been discovered!

At the same time, a series of shrill alarms sounded in Hogwarts. The members of the mutual aid association who had been ambushing in various parts of Hogwarts Castle also received Mike's magic message. One by one, they rode on the uniformly customized Firebolts and chased in the direction where Mike disappeared.

On the other side, Mike was flying close to the Firebolt.

The Firebolt under him was an exclusive customized version. The flying speed was much faster than the ordinary Firebolt, but at the same time, the turning ability and comfort were a little worse.

But even so, he still couldn't catch up with Clark in a short time. The other party didn't know what he was using, and the flying speed was only a little slower than Mike's current speed.

Mike knew the other party's thoughts very well. You should know that there is an anti-Apparition spell in the area of ​​Hogwarts, so the other party will use flying to escape, but as long as the other party flies out of the area of ​​Hogwarts, he can use the Apparition spell to move long distances in space.

But can he really succeed?

Thinking of this, Mike's mouth curled up a cruel smile. He took the Masonic gold coin from his chest and put it to his mouth, and said softly:

"Hey, George, Fred, the target is heading towards you, shoot him down."

At the same time, in the forest at the edge of the Hogwarts area, George and Fred, who were so bored that they yawned, also showed a hideous smile when they heard the words. The two of them answered the Masonic gold coin in a relaxed tone:

"Ah, I know, Mike."

The two rode on the flying broom and soared into the sky. As soon as they came above the forest, they saw a small black dot in the sky over the Hogwarts Castle that was slowly enlarging.

George and Fred raised their wands, ready to attack the opponent as soon as they entered their range. At the same time, the smiles on their faces became more exaggerated. This kind of aerial combat was a piece of cake for the two former Gryffindor school beaters. They could even imagine the opponent being hit by their spells and falling off the broom with a wail.

But not long after, as the black spot in the distance gradually enlarged, the smiles on their faces began to solidify slowly.

"Hey, George, that guy doesn't seem to be riding a flying broom?"

"Uh, it seems to be a bird... a super big bird."

"Boom~Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down from the blue sky and landed directly in the forest near the two people, setting an ancient tree on fire and startling a large number of flying birds.

At the same time, the originally clear weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. A large number of dark clouds covered the sky, making the surroundings dim.

These dark clouds were extremely low, which made George and Fred feel tremendous pressure. What frightened them was that lightning would flash through the dark clouds from time to time. The muffled roar made the faces of both of them look extremely ugly.

"George, I think I know what the target is riding."

"Yeah, I think I know it too, it's a Thunderbird!"

George and Fred smiled at each other, and the smiles on their faces were very bitter.
