Chapter 373: Detoxification and Lockhart's Conflict

Looking at Professor Snape's still suspicious eyes, Yang Tian sneered in his heart. Are you kidding? He is the one who wants to refine a higher level bloodline pill. You know, after the Hydra bloodline is upgraded, the toxins in the body will also undergo earth-shaking changes. Not only will the intensity of the toxins increase exponentially, but the toxic components will also be completely overturned. Just ask, what's so scary?

After another conversation, Snape finally felt relieved. He called Dumbledore and the other three deans of the hospital, and then walked slowly towards the Hogwarts ward.

When Yang Tian followed the others to the ward, he found that the furnishings in the room had not changed at all. There were still four lonely beds, and Nick, Justin, Colin, and Mrs. Norris were still lying headless on them...

At Professor Snape's signal, Yang Tian poured the corresponding antidote into their mouths one by one, and then used his inner vision to observe their reactions.

Maybe because it was directly infused into the soul, the first person to react was Nick, who was a pure soul and almost headless: "Damn it, it's so cold, really cold!" At this time, he suddenly shouted in fear.

"Are you okay, Nick?" Dumbledore asked with concern.

"Where is that monster? Where is that monster?" There was an lingering fear in Nick's eyes.

"You can rest assured that it has been captured and your suffering is over." Dumbledore hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Thank you, Dumbledore. I knew you could save us." Nick was so moved that he almost cried.

"You're thanking the wrong person this time." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Old friend, the one who helped you this time was Yang Tian. He was the one who captured the Hydra and he also prepared the antidote. If you want to thank someone, you should thank him." As he said that, he pushed Yang Tian to the front.

Only then did Nick notice Yang Tian, ​​but it seemed that what he said just now was too shocking. He was a little at a loss and said: "Huh... I have seen that monster, but you actually... Oh, no, I don't... I mean, thank you, thank you very much." He looked at Yang Tian with gratitude and said.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Yang Tian replied with a smile.

Looking at the honest Nick, everyone couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Justin and Colin also woke up one after another.

"You're finally awake!" Professor McGonagall said in surprise.

"What happened?" Justin asked blankly.

"Are we poisoned?" Colin touched his face and asked in surprise.

After listening to Dumbledore's detailed account of what happened, the two little guys were both frightened and moved.

"Wow, so that's how it is, so thrilling!" Justin exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's incredible, we almost died." Colin agreed.

According to the two, although they seemed to be unconscious, their consciousness was still clear. However, this consciousness was firmly sealed in their bodies, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Whenever they recalled the loneliness, they were terrified beyond words.

"Thank you for saving us, Yang Tian!" Justin said gratefully.

"That's right, if it weren't for you, we might never wake up again." Colin also expressed his gratitude.

At this moment, they were full of admiration for Yang Tian, ​​with stars almost flashing in their eyes. Colin even claimed that he had a new idol.

But thinking about Colin's star-chasing methods, Yang Tian felt a headache again...

Perhaps because she was poisoned first, Mrs. Norris was the last to wake up. It just meowed twice and ran out of the door quickly. Not long after, a burst of excited crying came from the corridor. The voice was very recognizable. Who else could it be but Filch?

......

There is another thing worth mentioning. Some time ago, Gilderoy Lockhart started to wander around Yang Tian like crazy, looking at him with a resentful look. Yang Tian didn't understand what he meant at first, but in the past two days, this Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who was not very good but still very dedicated, finally couldn't hold it anymore. He knelt down in the office, tears streaming down his face: "Master, please, let me go, I really don't want to die!"

Yang Tian was stunned: "What's wrong with you? Who wants to kill you? You are my loyal subordinate. I have plans for your future."

When Lockhart heard this, he stopped crying and his eyes lit up like stars. He said excitedly, "Are you serious? My great master, thank you so much." But after a pause, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Then why doesn't my master transfer me away from Hogwarts? I feel like I'm about to die!" After saying that, he began to sob again.

"What are you talking about?" Yang Tian's face turned cold in an instant: "Who wants to kill you?" He felt very confused. Could it be that the enemy has made a comeback again?

"Curse! My Lord, that's the Dark Lord's curse!" Lockhart hugged Yang Tian's legs tightly and cried madly, "The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will not be held by the same person every year! My time is coming soon!"

Yang Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard that, but soon, he frowned and couldn't laugh anymore.

Yang Tian knew the horror of the curse better than anyone else. Astoria, Nagini... Aren't they all direct victims of the blood curse? And according to the original plot, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts seemed to have a bad fate. Either he was a bad guy, or he was almost tortured to death.

As his loyal younger brother, Yang Tian really didn't want him to put himself in danger.

"Okay, you should submit your resignation application to Dumbledore immediately and tell him that you have suddenly gained new inspiration and want to start a new adventure." Yang Tian finally made up his mind.

However, Lockhart seemed a little hesitant. He whispered, "But... but Dumbledore will not agree so easily, will he? After all, we have signed a contract. If I leave like this, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Don't worry, Dumbledore is quite tolerant in this regard." Yang Tian smiled. Then, he patted Lockhart on the shoulder and encouraged him, "You should thank yourself for this. After all, you have done your best in teaching this semester. As long as you do what I say, I believe there won't be any big problems."

After a pause, he added, "If Dumbledore really doesn't want to, you can bring up the issue of curses in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and then he will be even more embarrassed to stop you."

"So...should I go now?" Lockhart asked.

"Go ahead, now that you've made the decision, don't delay." Yang Tian finally made the final decision.

After receiving Yang Tian's affirmative answer, Lockhart was extremely excited. He rushed into the principal's office at a speed he had never seen before. Three hours later, he rushed out with two large suitcases...
