Chapter 106： Operation Snake

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

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

Regarding this matter, Professor Flitwick, who knew Abbott’s purpose of coming to Hogwarts this time, of course agreed, and what surprised Mike was that Captain Dyner, who gave a very serious feeling, did not. Hesitatingly agreed.

It seems that Captain Dinah, who has the same name as a superhero in an island country, is not willing to offend Abbott, the son of his immediate boss.

But during the conversation, Mike found that Dyner's attitude towards Abbott was very strange, not at all like trying to indulge in intentions, but more like an attitude towards his own descendants.

Finally, Captain Dinah arranged work for Mike and Abbott, and went with a team of senior Aurors to search the pipes under the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

Mike's head was about to explode when he heard the news. You must know that the entrance to the secret room was there. If you wait for someone to search that area, you will most likely find the secret room and confront the basilisk.

"Uh, can you change it? The girls' bathroom is always not good for us to go in." Mike lied.

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

"You're so funny, Mike. You must be joking, right?" Abbott seemed to be a little bit awkward on his face, reached out his hand to hook Mike's shoulder and led him towards the door, "Well, time is up It's early, let's go."

After walking out of the command room, Abbott whispered to Mike, "Don’t worry, Mike. Uncle Dinah is my father’s good brother. He also watched me grow up. The place he arranged for us is definitely the safest. ."

Mike curled his lips, thinking that this time it might be another hard fight. You must know that his strong luck cheats were very active some time ago, even suspected of overuse. According to the concept of conservation of fortune, this action may be quite dangerous.

But at this point Mike had to nod and perfuse Abbott, while quietly entering a closed brain state.

It is better to ask for yourself, instead of putting hope on the so-called senior Aurors who act with them, Mike is more willing to believe in himself.

The two successfully arrived at the girls' bathroom on the second floor. The Aurors had already arrived, and even the initial work had been done.

There was a mess in the girl's bathroom, and an Auror was dealing with the ghost in the bathroom, the crying Myrtle. This ghost was very dissatisfied with these so many men breaking into the girls' bathroom, and was spitting at the Auror. The washbasin as the entrance to the secret room has long since disappeared, replaced by a big hole with no bottom.

Those Aurors obviously knew Abbott, and they all came to say hello when they arrived.

Abbott is worthy of being the son of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, and he has the demeanor of his father. Talking and laughing relieved the originally nervous atmosphere on the scene.

Mike didn't participate in their conversation, and directly began to perceive the situation in the cave with magic power.

Although he knew that the slide at the entrance of the secret room was very long, Mike was still shocked after actually perceiving it. With the intensity of his current magical perception, he did not even perceive the end of the passage.

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

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

A group of people used the Levitating Charm to enter the obliquely downward pipe in an orderly manner. As soon as they entered the pipe, the brooches on the chests of the Aurors emitted a bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the pipes near the people like daylight. , The brooches at the top of the row even emitted a beam of light similar to a flashlight, illuminating the road ahead.

Light can bring people courage. Mike, who is in a closed brain state, certainly does not have such emotions as fear, but he found that Abbott was obviously relieved after the surroundings were brightened.

Mike couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, saying that he was not afraid, absolutely safe. But when he got here, he was afraid first.

After teasing Abbott in his heart, Mike withdrew his mind and paid attention to the surrounding environment. He is now moving towards the basilisk's lair, so he must not be careless.

The inside of this pipe is very humid, and the pipe wall is covered with dark green moss The air is still filled with a foul smell. Looking at the moss around, Mike's heart dropped a little.

There is no trace of damage to the moss here, which means that the basilisk has not been to this passage for a long time. If you encounter a basilisk in the passage, I am afraid that people like yourself will be more or less good, the terrain here is really too narrow.

I don't know how long it took, everyone finally came to the end of the pipe, and what appeared in front of everyone was a rocky grotto.

An Auror touched the damp stone wall and said, "This may be a cave under the Black Lake. Be wary, we may have touched a big fish!"

Hearing that everyone responded, the Aurors formed a triangular tactical formation and marched toward the depths of the grotto, while Mike and Abbot were in the middle of the triangular formation, protected by the Aurors.

Every time the Aurors walked, a few luminous stones were thrown around. Under the shining of these illuminating stones, the whole grotto gradually brightened up.

Although the surroundings were lit up, everyone still dared not come out. Except for the occasional dripping sound of water droplets, I can only hear my own heartbeat.

"sand……"

Suddenly, a rustling sound appeared in the silent grotto, and everyone's hearts instantly raised their throats.

Mike couldn't be more familiar with this voice, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a basilisk! Run away!"

The surrounding Aurors were taken aback by his sudden shouting, but their excellent combat literacy kept them from panicking. They quickly adjusted their formation and aimed at the direction of the sound with an acute angle of the triangular formation. The bright light from the brooch had passed.

The strong light illuminates the scenery in front of him, and the Auror who is at the acute angle is stunned and uttered instinctively:

"Merlin..."
