my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 112 Use the air correction punch on the naughty kid!

Wang Shui overestimated his patience.

Removing the venom sacs of hundreds of car-sized Acromantulas is not an easy task.

Wang Shui inexplicably recalled the scene of collecting bugs in the SAO world.

His patience with this kind of repetitive manual labor has been worn away by the convenience of extraordinary power.

"Okay, you two hurry back to the castle and stop running around."

Harry and Ron were moving away from a giant spider in a daze. They were indeed a little frightened, and they didn't know what new ideas the senior had.

Wang Shui directly grabbed the two little guys, used [Follower Appearance] to take them outside Hagrid's hut, and then teleported back himself, not caring about how they vomited.

The plot should not be too far behind. Wang Shui chose to deal with these giant spiders first.

Snapped--

After an inconspicuous snap of fingers, the bodies of several giant spiders began to twist and knead, and were soon kneaded into ten humanoid structures.

This is not an artificial person. The artificial person has a complete human body structure.

These structures built from giant spider chitin shells can be understood as robots made of biological materials, with chitin replacing steel and specialized protein serving as muscle tissue.

It is a bionic machine and uses original materials.

After imprinting the alchemy array, Wang Shui copied several simple "engineering machine program cloud diagrams" in the [Lower Network·Engineering Machine Model], giving them simple intelligence so that they could perform simple tasks.

What provides computing power is the core computing cloud group at the remote base;

What provides energy is the mobile armor engine on Wang Shui's body.

To be precise, the engine only converts energy into a usable form. What really provides energy is the energy crystal coins.

When the engineering machine was working, Wang Shui had to stand here and watch, because he was a signal tower.

This is not the main world. There is no dream network all over the world. The remote connection between the engineering machines and the base can only rely on the "Sylvia Network". There are no drones nearby.

However, Wang Shui is already rubbing the signal tower with his hands.

All it takes is a relatively strong energy semiconductor material (such as steel) and some good conductor powder as wires.

Wang Shui often directly uses the alchemy array, but it is a one-time energy projection. He directly projects the energy out of the array, which is similar to the projection spell model. No, it should be said that the principle is exactly the same.

The same principle applies to the magic circles surrounding spellcasters when they fight.

If you want to make a permanent, or relatively durable, long-term magic item, it is best to carve the array and then fill the notches with conductive material. This is modern alchemy at its most basic.

This production was not wasted, just enough to build a signal tower at Hogwarts.

Wang Shui was not busy for too long, and it was a new dusk the next day.

After finishing their classes for the day, Harry and Ron looked at the petrified Hermione in a daze.

Then, just like in the original plot, Harry discovered the page in Hermione's hand.

I just don't know how Hermione broke through the protection spell and tore out the page about the "basilisk" from the book.

After relatively simple reasoning, Harry determined that the monster that attacked the students was a basilisk. It moved through the pipes in the castle and hid its body.

The basilisk's gaze can directly kill living things. Those students who were attacked did not directly see the basilisk's eyes for various reasons, so they were only petrified rather than dead.

"It's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?" Wang Shui took the initiative to ask Sylvia.

He was in phase invisibility, and Sylvia had just synchronized her perspective.

"It's normal to have some thoughts at this age. But I'm more inclined to think that the monster did it on purpose. It deliberately didn't kill those students. Otherwise, these professors would definitely spare no effort to eradicate it. It was also afraid, so it did So timid."

Sylvia's idea was more practical. If the magic effect could be controlled, the basilisk that had lived for many years should be able to do it.

"What I care more about is the level of this basilisk. I hope it is strong enough." At this time, Wang Shui was thinking about the basilisk itself.

The plot did not deviate because of the appearance of Aqua Regia, and Harry and Ron seemed to have temporarily forgotten about the Ravenclaw senior.

In fact, they have also forgotten that they can't run around outside now, tsk, the single-threading and recklessness unique to naughty children.

Just as they were discussing the basilisk, Professor McGonagall's voice sounded in the castle:

"All students should return to their respective college dormitories immediately, and all teachers please go to the corridor on the second floor immediately."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, the way they would when someone in school was attacked.

So the two decided not to go back to the dormitory, but secretly hid in the corner of the second floor to eavesdrop.

But what came next surprised them both.

Ron's sister "Ginny Weasley" disappeared, and new blood words were left on the walls of the castle corridor——

【Her bones will remain in the secret room forever】

Unlike the previous attacks, this time Ginny seemed to be dying in the secret room.

Could it be related to Dumbledore's departure?

Wang Shui, who was also invisible and eavesdropping, also had this question.

But the mastermind of the whole incident, the student Voldemort - "Tom Riddle", how did he know that Dumbledore had left?

He is just a notebook now, and his range of activities is very limited.

The basilisk that attacked the students was controlled by Tom, and it was Ginny who opened the secret room and released the basilisk. Tom used some soft hypnosis to control Ginny.

But Dumbledore was suspended just yesterday.

Ginny was the same as the ordinary students. They only knew that Professor McGonagall had become the acting principal. No one said that Dumbledore had left the school. Suspension did not mean leaving.

Someone told Tom Riddle.

Wang Shui immediately thought of "Lucius Malfoy" who came to deliver the suspension order yesterday. He was the one who secretly put Voldemort's Horcrux notebook on Ginny.

It was he who notified Tom, and it was he who deliberately took Dumbledore away, so Tom took action decisively, using Ginny's life to lure Harry into opening the Chamber of Secrets and throwing himself into a trap.

Clearly, Harry had fallen into the trap.

The first reaction of professors to this incident was to close the school and send the children home.

This is a natural and correct way of thinking, especially now that Dumbledore is indeed not here.

As for the fact that they asked the best-selling author "Lockhart" to find the secret room and kill the monster, it was purely a mockery of the liar's previous boasting.

After nearly a year of getting along, the professors all understood what kind of idiot "Lockhart" was.

But Harry and Ron didn't know that.

They followed Lockhart, who said he wanted to go back to his office to prepare, but what Harry and Harry saw was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor packing his things and preparing to run away.

Then came the famous scene where the dignified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was disarmed by two second-year students.

Aqua regia rubbed his forehead in pain. This idiot was really not that weak. As an adult wizard, he chose to give up so easily, and even admitted that he was a liar.

"This scene does have the feel of a stage play." Sylvia commented.

"Fortunately, it is children's literature after all." Wang Shui's tolerance is quite high.

Sylvia also doesn't know the next plot. Although she has read the strategies for clearing the level, the awakened ones who successfully cleared the level before did not completely follow the plot.

Everyone just knows who is the protagonist and who is the enemy. We only know that this is not a tragedy and we can win equally, so the strategy is not particularly detailed.

Afterwards, Harry and Ron escorted Lockhart to the girls' bathroom on the second floor. They speculated that the Muggle wizard who was attacked and killed fifty years ago was the ghost in the toilet - Moaning Myrtle. This was indeed the case. With the help of Harry's Parseltongue, they successfully opened the entrance to the secret room under the sink.

Seeing the three people bravely jumping into the bottomless shaft, Wang Shui had veins popping out of his head. This was not an adventure, it was just a suicide attempt.

And they actually dared to mess around here without paying homage to the God of Bathrooms. It’s really the ignorant who are fearless.

The entrance to this shaft is not very deep. There is a diagonal cave passage below, and at the bottom of the cave, the death squad discovered a huge snake slough.

"The snake has to be 60 feet, no, maybe longer."

While Harry was conducting a serious inspection, Professor Lockhart, who was watched by Ron, suddenly pretended to be frightened and fainted, and then snatched the old wand from Ron's hand.

"The adventure ends here, kids, but don't worry, people will know our story -

I failed to save the missing girl because I came a step too late, and you lost your mind because you saw her bloody body. It makes sense, doesn't it?

Then, let's start with you, Mr. Potter, say goodbye to your memory, and forget it forever! "

Turquoise energy gathered on Ron's wand, but there were obvious signs of bonding on the already worn wand.

The condition of this worn-out wand was even worse than the first one Aqua Regia bought in Diagon Alley.

Lockhart's relatively large magic power blew up the wand in one breath, and the magic that had not weakened at all, and even had some strange amplification, hit him directly!

The [Forgetting Curse], which had no obvious light effect at first, produced a powerful knock-up effect. Lockhart was sent flying, hit the top of the cave heavily, and then fell heavily again.

"No wonder you didn't take action. Is this accident part of the plot?"

Sylvia asked Wang Shui who was watching.

"Yes, but then there is no need to go through that overly dramatic plot."

Before Wang Shui could finish his words, the cave suddenly started to vibrate, and a large amount of gravel fell down, causing the three people below to run away with their heads in their hands.

Then suddenly at a certain point, the rumbling sound of rolling rocks continued, but Harry and Ron discovered that no rocks fell around them.

A hemispherical, translucent cover appeared in the middle of the cave, which blocked the falling rocks and allowed them to pile up beside the cave.

Wang Shui walked in wearing a student wizard robe and a Ravenclaw college badge.

"You two are really brave." This was Wang Shui's heartfelt emotion.

"It's the senior from Ravenclaw!" Ron cheered in surprise. It was this powerful senior who saved them yesterday.

It's him again today! It was he who saved them again in this situation of falling rocks.

"Senior! We found the secret room! It was a basilisk that attacked Muggle wizards! Ginny is in there, we have to save her!"

Harry was now focused on saving people and had no idea who he was.

"The adventure is over, kids." Wang Shui also said the same line as Lockhart, "Since you have discovered the secret room and the monster, why don't you go directly to the professors? They are not sleeping at this time, right? Or you guys Is there a way to deal with the basilisk?"

Aqua regia's words stunned the two little guys, but Harry seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his wand and pointed at aqua regia.

"We have to save Ginny!"

"The only way to save Ginny is to find the professor. If you mess around, you will only end up with your own lives. Tsk, you actually dare to point a wand at me? Or do you think I am like that idiot Lockhart, who will give up if he is pointed at first? Resist?"

Harry was sweating and his breathing became rapid. He felt the same pressure from the professors on Aqua Regia.

But under pressure and courage, Harry chose to take action——

"[Expelliarmus]!"

Along with Harry's shout, the white light of the disarming spell flew towards the aqua regia!

Then, in the expectant eyes of the three people (including Wang Shui), the magic hit perfectly.

But Aqua Regia was not knocked away, but the wizard's robe was blown by the inexplicable wind.

"Using a disarming spell on someone with nothing? Is this what you learned in second year?"

Some of the joking questions made Harry stunned. He just stared blankly at the senior student who suddenly swung his fist downwards. Was this... punching the air?

Then a huge force suddenly hit the side of his chin, interrupting his thoughts.

It was a punch across the cheek from top to bottom.

Harry was knocked to the ground by the air punch, but the pain he imagined did not come. Even when he fell to the ground, there was a ball of air supporting him.

"Don't point your wand at someone you don't mean to attack."

While aqua regia was educating Harry, he looked behind him at Ron, who was shivering, and Lockhart, who was in a daze.

That idiot was hit by his own enhanced forgetfulness spell and was already a little delirious.

"Tomorrow you go to Professor McGonagall to receive confinement. That's the end of tonight's adventure."

"But Ginny..." Harry had become more honest, but he still wanted to save people. The longer time went by, the more dangerous Ginny would be.

"Oh, indeed, there are still people waiting, and they may indeed need your help to open the door."

Wang Shui seemed to have thought of something, then turned to look at Ron, "But you, Mr. Weasley, for your own safety, go back to the dormitory quickly."

"No, I want to go with you to save Ginny!"

"You don't even have your wand, you're all turned to stone."

"Ron!" Harry shouted as he ran to Ron's side.

Wang Shui, who didn't want to continue talking nonsense, directly used the whole body binding spell, and Lockhart and Ron quickly stiffened.

"Okay, I don't want to say anything more. You and I will go rescue people. I will go back to rest in half an hour at most."

Different from the tense and brave atmosphere of the protagonists, Wang Shui was just counting the materials in his hand. He was mixing alchemy items while walking, with no sense of urgency at all.

Harry also showed a big heart that did not match his age. After he confirmed that Ron could still blink, he immediately changed his attitude and followed Aqua Regia to explore the inside of the cave.

"Senior, can I ask you your name?" Harry asked in a daze while looking at the ball of light floating in the air.

"Geralt, you can call me White Wolf, a lover of magical creatures."

While suppressing a smile, Aqua Regia filled the spherical glass bottle with the last ingredients, and then, in Harry's shocked eyes, he pulled out a long sword out of thin air.

The dark silver sword has dark green patterns on it, which is quite beautiful.

The two of them stood in front of a huge metal door. This circular stone door embedded in the stone wall was a bit like the door of a bank vault, with a relief carving of eight snakes on it.

"There should be a snake whispering to open the door here. Do you want me to open it?" Harry suddenly became much more well-behaved.

Sure enough, proper fisting is an indispensable part of education.

"No, let me see for myself first. You clip these on to the spectacle lenses." When Aoi approached the door of the secret room, he threw the two clip-on spectacles to Harry.

The clip-on glasses seem to be made of crystal, which is very thin but somewhat heavy. It is not transparent, and looks like the transparent glass is sprinkled with light ink.

Harry looked at the clip-on glasses in his hand and quickly guessed its purpose.

"With this, you won't be afraid of the basilisk's eyes?!"

"In principle, yes, there are quite a few books recording the basilisk curse. Undoing the curse is not easy and requires special potions. But if you take precautions from the beginning, you will save a lot of effort.

In ancient times, victims of basilisk encounters were rarely petrified. Most of them died directly, so professors have not yet determined that it was a basilisk. "

Aqua regia inspected this simple alchemical iron door while explaining it to Harry.

"I see, I thought it was too complicated. The alchemy of the past was even worse than it is now."

Wang Shui suddenly exclaimed in surprise, snapped his fingers, and the huge iron door of the secret room was opened so easily.

　There is one more chapter, there is no break here, so I will post it together, but don’t wait tonight, please come early tomorrow~
