Chapter 414 Answers
"Oh no--"
McGuffin's heart was full of fear, and he couldn't believe that he had become "One Punch Man" before he was an adult in this life.
With a thought in his mind, the magic wand of thestral tail feathers glowing purple automatically flew to his palm.
Then with a random wave, the glass shards scattered on the ground gathered in front of him and pieced together, turning into a new mirror in just two or three seconds.
This mana... was completely beyond his expectations.
However, he didn't have time to react to what was going on?
McGuffin was stunned by his new image in front of him in the mirror.
In the mirror is a guy who looks like a snake man, or a lizard man.
Snake-like vertical pupils, long fangs protruding from the mouth (McGuffin touched it with his finger to confirm that it was not an illusion in the mirror), but fortunately, the facial features are still the same as before, it is a human being... except that the hair, or the fine black snake-like scales from the forehead, grows all over the head.
——The location of the original hair has completely turned into cold and hard scales.
McGuffin suddenly remembered something again, and quickly confirmed that other parts of his body (hands, limbs, back, legs, stomach)... have not changed, but the top of his head has completely bid farewell to the former hair.
If there is one thing to be thankful for, it is that McGuffin is still a third-year little wizard (Tong Yan, Tong Yan), and he can barely manage this kind of cybergothic decoration.
If you take a closer look, it can barely be called a two-dimensional style...
Forget it, I can't make it up.
Although McGuffin tried his best to comfort himself, with a nonchalant look, but the trembling body obviously did not express that.
Moreover, although the erosion of the [Blood Curse] in his body has weakened a lot, the magical power absorbed from the Dementor (or Voldemort) has not been safely eliminated, and it is about to move around in his body... making him very upset.
Of course, it’s not all bad news, the magic power just now (he easily summoned the magic wand, the deforming mirror is enough to prove this), and the parchment system that was called out in his mind also showed this:
→ [Blood Curse] (corrosion rate 51%) (suppressed by the 'improved version' of the unicorn mixture / continuing to take effect)
→【Half Snake Transformation】(change degree 19%/continuously fading)
(The unicorn mixture has played a certain role in stabilizing the erosion of [Blood Curse] and fading the dark magic in the body)
→(Under the joint effect of dark magic power and blood curse, it forms the same black magic curse transformation effect as [Lucifera], the only difference is that it is not contagious)
→(In the semi-snake form, you can have night vision, you can cast most of the black magic, and increase the effects of black magic such as curses and curses that rely on negative emotions, and have very good resistance to various curses, and even the scales can be comparable to half of the magic resistance of dragon scales.
But casting black magic will stimulate the irreversible erosion of [Blood Curse]... Maybe one day the half-snake wizard will not be able to recover)
→(In the semi-snake form, the wizard will have bonuses in many aspects such as physical strength, agility, nerve response speed, strength, etc. Generally speaking, he can even temporarily compete with werewolves or vampires in the explosive form, but of course he cannot compete with these two dark creatures for a long time)
Note: (The degree of change of semi-snake is best not to exceed 50%)
(—Remember, the consciousness and habits of snakes want to devour you all the time.)
(...)
→ Magic power (dark/magic power containing negative emotions, which can corrupt a person's mind and soul) (continuing to fade)
→ World tree seedlings (15% growth stage) (dark magic is concentrated on the top of the head to absorb)
McGuffin's attention was immediately attracted by the word 'top of the head'.
Looking at the system's explanation, he finally felt a little relieved.
Is it because the seedlings of the world tree concentrated the dark magic power on the top of their heads to devour and absorb it to grow?
Terrifying!
McGuffin really thought that he would have to bear the pain of a man after the age of 30 from now on.
"I remember you!"
When Rita Skeeter was in a daze with McGuffin, she finally found the little wizard who had made her slump from her memory.
She gloated and cast her eyes on McGuffin's head, "It seems that your eloquence is useless in front of the Death Eaters. They left you a small souvenir..."
As he spoke, the guy laughed unabashedly.
She even put her long nails on McGuffin's forehead and swipe twice.
Make a whining sound.
"Bozo, get the hell out of here! I need to take a picture...this is so much fun! People will be interested..."
The crazy female reporter turned to the foggy street outside and called a certain wizard's name.
Rita Skeeter helped her jewel-encrusted eyes, turned the page of the notebook in her hand, and asked McGuffin, "Little wizard, would you like to talk about what you know? What happened just now...was it done by the Death Eaters? Who drove them away? How did you escape? And you...or what role did Harry play in this incident? Some faculty members have outrageous behavior from time to time?"
She meant something.
"McGuffin? That's your name, isn't it?"
"If you answer my question honestly, maybe I won't publish your current situation in the newspaper, otherwise, your look... Hahaha! Many people will like it."
Rita Skeeter laughed and threatened.
Under the threat of this guy, McGuffin's attention was finally diverted from the system's [half-snake transformation], [blood curse], and [dark magic power], and returned to reality.
He looked at the large 'banana', his eyes became indifferent and fierce, "Rita Skeeter?"
Hearing her threat, the first thought that popped up in McGuffin's mind was the scene of directly pulling Rita Skeeter's head off and killing her with various cruel criminal methods...
When McGuffin realized, it - terrified him.
His thoughts and consciousness have been changed unconsciously...
——Is this the result of the combined effects of [Half Snake Transformation], [Dark Magic Power], and [Blood Curse]?
This change reminded McGuffin of the record in Voldemort's notebook about the [Curse of Theseus]... As Theseus changed his mind and soul little by little, he began to gradually become a lunatic and a massacre.
He doesn't want to be like this.
Rita Skeeter looked at McGuffin's eyes (they were full of madness and indifference, which made her feel like a piece of meat on the chopping board. This expression was no different from those black wizards who had gone crazy that she had interviewed before), she shuddered, a little trembling, and couldn't maintain the smile on her face, but when she looked again, she seemed to be wrong. The little wizard was trembling, as if afraid of something.
Did those words of mine just now work?
Although she had doubts and fears in her heart, Rita Skeeter continued to ask McGuffin again:
"Now would you like to talk to me about how you got here? And... what are the Death Eaters' intentions? How did you get the curse on you?"
Rita Skeeter was buzzing in McGuffin's ears like a big yellow bee.
Even her breathing made McGuffin so irritable that he couldn't calm down and think rationally.
"All right!"
McGuffin clenched his fist and said impatiently.
But it was found that Rita Skeeter's entire mouth was tightly closed, her face twisted and twitched, and she made a woo-um sound, as if she was struggling to open her mouth.
McGuffin realized what he had done, and immediately sent his fist away.
Rita Skeeter stood up abruptly, took a few steps back, took a deep breath with her chest rising and falling rapidly, and stared at McGuffin in horror.
She could no longer hold her polite smirk.
McGuffin also got up from the ground. He felt the magic power surging in his body (dark, decayed, his own and three different magic powers purified by the World Tree)... He felt that he could do more and more terrifying than when he cast the [Levitation Curse] to eliminate the magic of the entire cellar just now.
Snape looked at what McGuffin was doing, his eyes flickered, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"I can tell you what happened here? Anyway, the professor is there... But, do you have the courage to report all the truth?"
MacGuffin deliberately stared at Rita Skeeter and asked,
——He had to find a way to get rid of this annoying spirit.
"When... of course, if what you're telling is the truth!"
After the sudden attack just now, Rita Skeeter was a little scared, but she was still attracted by this question.
"Okay then! Let me tell you a few words!"
Lupine could barely speak now because of his werewolf transformation, Black didn't dare to raise his voice to attract attention, and Snape really...wanted to know what was going on here.
So the three didn't stop McGuffin either.
"I'll just tell you three facts."
"One, the Death Eaters did come, they didn't leave. If you're lucky, you can still see them all in the cellar...or their corpses.!"
McGuffin raised his head, pointing to the most severely damaged, dark cellar entrance.
"What? What do you mean? What do you mean they are all down there?"
Rita Skeeter began to feel that the little wizard was a bit perverted.
McGuffin didn't answer, and continued: "Second, there is no collusion. Harry and the others should know this better than me. We...or Harry and the others were kidnapped here by Death Eaters..."
"Abduction?!"
Black screamed, he jumped up, and hurriedly approached McGuffin and the others for two steps, but he remembered something and immediately backed away to hide.
McGuffin looked at the startled and jumping appearance of this fat man with a quivering belly, and felt even more strange in his heart. He did remember having a little impression of this person, but why couldn't he recognize who it was?
But he still ignored it, and continued to say to Rita Skeeter, who was taking notes frantically, "Holding! Indeed, there is a tunnel in the [Honeydukes] cellar leading to Hogwarts. Harry and the others were kidnapped here through this secret tunnel."
McGuffin is almost speaking in terms of 'facts', he doesn't technically speak.
"really?"
Even Rita Skeeter, who has been looking forward to making a fool of Hogwarts, doesn't believe what McGuffin is saying now.
She asked rhetorically, "Why did they hold a young wizard hostage? According to those Death Eaters, killing the little wizard directly is the best way to deal with it...isn't it?"
There seemed to be a bit of disappointment in her tone.
Blake glared at the female reporter.
McGuffin ignored it, and then said calmly, "That's because of Voldemort's request. This is the third point. All the actions of these Death Eaters were planned by Voldemort. He wanted Harry, and he wanted to meet the real Harry.... Yes, we have seen the incarnation of Voldemort with our own eyes."
"V...? Dark Lord?"
Rita Skeeter was frightened, her hands trembled, and the notebook and shorthand pen fell to the ground without paying attention, "Did you mean that the Dark Lord appeared?"
"No, no, impossible!"
She retorted three times.
Snape frowned, staring at McGuffin, discerning the expression on his face, wondering if these words were true or not.
Black and Lupine looked at each other in disbelief.
Rita Skeeter stepped back again and again, looking at this guy who casually called the Dark Lord, it was the first time she felt extremely regretful about this interview.
McGuffin grinned, with two long snake-like fangs protruding from his mouth, shining coldly, which made the female reporter a little terrified.
"No! Go down and have a look! Such a serious explosion is still in the cellar. If there is no time to react, those Death Eaters shouldn't be able to escape even if they survive..."
"Go down and take a look and you'll know, and Voldemort has gone to Hogwarts one step ahead of time. He is going to attack Hogwarts to divert people's attention from noticing the disappearance of [Honey Duke] Froome and his wife, Harry...that is, our disappearance."
"Of course...if he hadn't left early, Harry and I wouldn't have had the chance to escape from the control of the Death Eaters..."
"No! You're lying! I know..." Rita Skye said fearfully, she couldn't wait to get out of here, and even she didn't want to continue this topic and have anything to do with Voldemort.
"You'll know when you go to [the cellar]...you'll know what I'm saying is true."
McGuffin repeated, smiling.
Rita Skeeter looked at McGuffin's eloquent words, and hesitated. If... If there were Death Eaters, it would be an exclusive news, and it could almost be the most important headline on the front page of the "Daily Prophet" in the past ten years.
she hesitated...
"It shouldn't be the Dark Lord's, yes, it's this little wizard who scared me... That's right! And those Death Eaters are gone too, no one will be so stupid, but stay here..."
Rita Skeeter comforted herself, picked up her wand, and walked towards the door at the entrance of the cellar.
But there was a sound of running fast in the thick fog outside, it was the photographer Bozo.
Panting, he rushed into the ruins of the storefront, and then shouted at Rita Skeeter, "Rita... Hurry up, go to Hogwarts, I just got the latest news..."
"Hogwarts is under attack by Death Eaters!"
"They got there!"
"The dragon is fighting the giant dementor!"
"Hurry up, such an exciting scene will definitely get the headlines...Merlin bless you! My mortgage for half a year is settled!"
The subordinate's words frightened Rita Skeeter in place. She looked at the deep and dark entrance, and then turned her head to look at Bozo who was happily trying to tell her the big news.
At this time McGuffin said softly: "Yes, that's Voldemort!"
pat!
--boom!
Rita Skeeter was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
