Chapter 185 On the feasibility of sniper rifles against Voldemort

Three days later, in the Hogwarts infirmary, Mike was lying on the hospital bed sleeping peacefully.

It was spring time at this time, and the sunlight outside the house was like golden sand shining on Mike's face through the bay window, giving his somewhat pale face a hint of gold, which complemented his golden hair.

This should be a beautiful picture, however, our Mike doesn’t think so.

As if his nap was disturbed by the bright sunlight, Mike's brows knitted together, and he instinctively turned his head to the other side where the sun was not shining.

"Hey! Move, move! Wake up, wake up!"

A voice filled with fatigue and surprise finally woke Mike up.

Mike opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the snow-white ceiling in the ward.

‘It was so comfortable to sleep. ’ Mike turned his head to the sky, thinking, ‘Huh? Strange ceiling, where am I? ’

In a daze, Mike finally discovered that he was not sleeping in his own dormitory, but in a strange room.

‘No, it’s not right to say it’s strange. This...why does this ceiling look so familiar? It's like...the ceiling of the infirmary. ’

When he woke up, Mike stared straight at the ceiling in a daze.

He hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time. He must have slept for a long time. Why?

The sore and soft feeling on the body and the still unable to open eyelids are the best proof. These are clearly symptoms of excessive sleep.

‘It’s so comfortable. Why don't you just sleep a little longer. ’

Thinking so, Mike smiled and prepared to close his eyes and sleep for a while. However, at this moment, a tearful girl's face suddenly appeared in front of him.

If he encountered this kind of scene normally, Mike promised that he would kiss him without hesitation, but at this moment, Mike was still in a trance state where he had not woken up, so...

"Wow!"

Mike screamed in surprise and pulled back the quilt. It was okay that he didn't move, but when he moved, Mike felt a burning pain in his chest.

Under the stimulation of this pain, Mike remembered everything.

‘I was injured and in a coma, and a freckle-faced female version of Jack the Ripper cut open my chest! ’

Mike hurriedly opened the quilt and looked at his chest, only to find that the huge wound in his memory had now turned into layers of snow-white bandages intertwined.

Mike still couldn't believe it, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it twice.

'call! Fortunately, it is solid, so is it really a nightmare? ’

"Mike, are you okay?"

"That's right, Mike, don't scare us!"

Mike, who breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw a group of people surrounding his hospital bed. Penelo, Franklin and the Salvation trio were all there.

Among them, Penello looked at him with tearful eyes, with two light dark circles hanging on his delicate face, obviously not resting well.

"Ah, I'm fine. Sorry, I made you worry."

Mike said peace to everyone, and the last apology was said while looking at Penello.

Penello naturally understood what Mike meant, and threw herself into Mike's arms when she heard Mike say that apology.

Mike, who still had a bandage on his chest, could not withstand such a attack from her. He groaned and bowed like a lobster.

"sorry Sorry!"

Penello also realized that his actions were inappropriate, and he jumped away immediately. He hurriedly wanted to help, but he was afraid of hurting Mike again, so he had to apologize profusely.

"You are so in love. Penelo has been by your side since you were injured. He rarely even sleeps."

Harry on the side sighed with envy, and at the same time silently added in his heart: 'Unlike me, I am single. ’

"Yes, yes! What a loving couple!" Franklin said feebly, "Some people are so unscrupulous. You know, I also stayed with you for three days. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes. Got it!"

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Franklin's face, the corners of Mike's mouth twitched and he complained: "Yes...I'm sorry, I really can't see the dark circles on your face."

Penelo and Harry were the first to react as soon as these words came out. A smile immediately appeared on Penelo's face that was still covered with tears, and Harry was grinning from ear to ear.

Ron, who was beside Harry, looked confused at the two laughing people.

Harry obviously noticed Ron's embarrassment and quickly reached into Ron's ear to whisper.

Now Ron finally understood the point of the joke and started laughing.

Even Hermione, who hid in the corner of the ward as soon as Mike woke up, was amused by Mike's slightly racist joke.

Then she felt that it was not good for her to laugh because of other people's skin color, so she suppressed her laughter, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't stop rising.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became joyful, Mike also had a smile on his face and secretly gave Franklin a thumbs up.

This guy Franklin did it on purpose!

After seeing Mike's gesture, Franklin shook his eyebrows at Mike, indicating that Mike didn't need to take it to heart.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy."

Just when everyone was laughing, a familiar voice came over.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Professor Flitwick and Mrs. Pomfret leading a freckle-faced girl into the ward at some point. They were looking at everyone with a smile.

The laughter stopped abruptly. Mrs. Pomfret had warned them before they came that they must not disturb the patient's rest by shouting, but just now they laughed so loudly...

Thinking of this, Harry and Ron's bodies trembled, as if they had imagined the scene of Madam Pomfleur throwing them out of the infirmary one by one.

But to their surprise, Madam Pomfleur and Professor Flitwick did not look at them at all.

Everyone turned to follow Professor Flitwick's gaze, and saw that Mike was pointing tremblingly at the freckled girl who came with Professor Flitwick and Mrs. Pomfleur, with a look of horror on his face.

"Jack the Ripper!"

As Mike said these five words tremblingly, everyone's eyes fell on the freckled girl again.

Perhaps because she was a little embarrassed to be looked at by so many people, the freckled girl smiled awkwardly and hid behind Mrs. Pomfleur.

"What is Jack the Ripper?" Ron asked confused.

"That's a serial murderer who likes to cut other people's bodies open. He often appears in novels and music." Hermione couldn't help but popularize the science. "It is said that Jack the Ripper was a real serial murderer in London for more than a hundred years. guilty."

"I was helping you with your treatment!"

After hearing Hermione's words, the freckled girl poked her head out from behind Madam Pomfleur and said weakly.

"Oh! You call cutting open my chest and stirring it around inside called therapy?" Mike sarcastically said, "I really want to thank you!"

The freckled girl immediately shrank back behind Madam Pomfrey again, looking very frightened.

At this moment, Mrs. Pomfleur finally couldn't stand it anymore and explained: "Okay Mike, Soraka is indeed helping you with your treatment. You should feel lucky, Soraka is my most promising student. If it weren’t for her superb skills, you would definitely have a big hole in your chest!”

After hearing this, Mike immediately reached out and touched his chest again, and found that the wound bound by the bandage was indeed very smooth, with no dent at all, and he couldn't help but calm down slowly.

"Okay, my fault. But you shouldn't have let me see the treatment process. To be honest, I was really scared." Mike was still a little shocked when he recalled the scene that day. "You really can't imagine that one day you will That’s how you feel when you suddenly wake up and see that you’ve been disemboweled!”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just too excited at the time, so I forgot to feed you the Water of Life and Death (Sleeping Potion)." Soraka's weak voice came from behind Madam Pomfleur, "But I have to Say your internal organs are so beautiful, especially your kidneys, which are healthier and stronger than most people."

Harry and others suddenly became horrified after hearing the second half of Soraka's words. They really couldn't imagine who would find other people's internal organs beautiful.

"Okay, don't dwell on this matter." Professor Flitwick took out a bag of traceless stretching spells and said, "Mike, we have a surprise for you!"

Mike took the bag and opened it and found that it contained the equipment he had taken off before the game. In addition, there were 50 gold galleons and a badge in the style of the Hogwarts school emblem.

"Here are your bonuses and prizes. Unfortunately, since you tied for the championship with Cedric this time, the bonus can only be shared equally with Cedric." Professor Flitwick paused and said, "But luckily The thing is, I helped you win this Duel Champion Medal. As for Cedric, he has other compensation."

Before Professor Flitwick could finish speaking, Mike took out the badge.

The silver badge shines under the spring sunshine, and the representative creatures of the four major colleges engraved on it are even more lifelike, as if they will jump off the badge at any time.

Penello and others stared at this exquisite badge with their mouths wide open. This represented the glory of the duel champion. Although it was only the duel champion among Hogwarts students, it was enough to prove Mike's strength.

However, the reason why Mike is so happy is not because of the symbolic meaning of this badge, but its actual ability.

It can always be alert to attacks coming towards Mike and automatically release armor for defense.

Doesn’t it sound tasteless?

It's just an armor for protection, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

actually not.

After traveling to the world of Harry Potter, Mike has been thinking about a question: How big a threat are guns to wizards?

At first, Mike felt that although wizards had terrifying powers, their bodies were no different from ordinary people. In other words, wizards would be injured and die if they were hit by bullets.

Even if they are protected by armor and protected by such powerful protective spells, wizards are still powerless when facing Muggles' ultra-long-distance sniping, because the speed of the bullets is so fast that human reflexes cannot react at all. Don't come.

Mike even considered finding some snipers to snipe the old devil after Voldemort was resurrected.

However, this plan was canceled after Mike's research on the curse became more and more profound.

Because Mike discovered that when the mental power reaches a certain level, the wizard will have an ability similar to the sixth sense. This ability can effectively allow the wizard to sense the upcoming attack and thus defend or dodge in advance.

Of course, if you want this ability, you must cultivate your mental power to an extremely terrifying level. Mike didn't know to what extent, but there was no doubt that Dumbledore and Voldemort definitely had this ability.

The summary is that long-range sniping can kill most wizards, including all professors at Hogwarts, and Mike is certainly among them.

Originally, Mike was worried that one day he would be sleeping well in bed, but suddenly someone would shoot him in the head with a sniper rifle. But now Mike didn't have to worry.

Because after possessing this badge that can automatically release armor protection, at least ordinary bullets can no longer kill him in a sneak attack.

From the question "Can a sniper rifle kill Voldemort in a sneak attack?" Mike also understood why the Muggle world still coexists peacefully with the wizarding world even though it already possesses such terrifying weapons as nuclear weapons. The reason is that Dumbledore and Voldemort A legendary level wizard is equivalent to a nuclear weapon in the wizarding world!

You can imagine that a wizard of Dumbledore's level can release world-destroying spells with just a single move. He also has weird abilities such as teleportation, invisibility, turning into others, controlling minds, etc. It can be said that with the current level of Muggle weapons, facing such a powerful wizard, even if you win in the end, you will have to pay an unimaginable price.

Therefore, the wizarding world and the Muggle world now form a strange balance, and the two deter each other.

But in general, the Muggles still have the upper hand in this silent war. The reason is that the population of wizards is decreasing day by day, and at the same time, the Muggles' technology continues to advance.

There have only been a few wizards like Dumbledore in the entire wizarding world for hundreds of years. It is conceivable that with the current population of the wizarding world shrinking, there will be fewer and fewer wizards of this level in the future.

And the speed of the wizarding world's research on magic is far less than the speed of Muggle technology advancement.

That is to say.

If one day there is no longer a great wizard like Dumbledore in the wizarding world, or the Muggles develop more powerful weapons.

Then the end of the wizards will come. You know, Muggles have long been thirsty for the supernatural powers mastered by the wizards.
