NOVEL NEXT Hogwarts: more magic than magic
Chapter 187
Chapter 187 All in one sweep 1
The old train conductor looked at the man in front of him with some doubts, and subconsciously tightened the wand he had been holding in his hand since he saw something happened here.
Originally, old Ike had believed what Chiz said to a certain extent, but because of what he said just now that he did not support asking for help, he immediately had some doubts about this new professor with a stinking face.
He didn't speak, and he didn't make any statement. He just leaned over to check the situation of the fake train conductor lying on the ground while being wary of Keiz.
Qiz couldn't help being a little funny when he saw this, and felt that the old man was too cautious, but it was a good thing!
"It seems that you still don't believe me, don't worry! Everything I said before is true, and more evidence lies in this person."
"Please!"
Old Ike didn't even raise his head, and continued to examine the man, with two words coming out of his throat.
So he also bent down and rummaged through the fake train conductor, and soon he found a bottle in the man's upper pocket.
He took out the bottle, shook it, and showed it to old Ike.
"This person is not your employee, but someone who faked it. This is the compound decoction they used. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, they will return to their original appearance.
I think you know this thing!I don't need to say much about its effect! "
Keiz opened the stopper of the bottle and sniffed it. After confirming that it was indeed compound soup, he handed it to the old Ike in front of him.
After he dug out the bottle, Old Ike stared at him. When he saw him handing over the bottle, he also reached out to take it and smell it.
After his nostrils twitched a few times, his expression became serious.
"It's Polyjuice Potion! This man is a fake! But how do you know that?"
Qiz rolled his eyes, and didn't want to explain too much, so he responded briefly: "It's just a coincidence!"
"Speaking of which, we really don't have much time! It's absolutely too late to ask for help now. When I just came in, he was about to throw that device into the power circle, and his companions should be activated soon!
If there is no response from this side for a long time, I think they will take some other drastic actions! ! ! "
The old train conductor pondered for a while, and finally believed his statement completely, relaxed his vigilance a little and took back the wand he had been holding tightly.
"Okay, I'm willing to believe you! I can also cooperate with your next actions, but are you sure you and I can find and subdue those people? Do you want to find some professors? When I went to get the wine just now, I saw several professors sitting in the dining car over there chatting!"
"Sir! You have to believe in my abilities. You must know that I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts! I am a professional in black arts and combat. The less people know about it now, the better, so as not to startle the enemy in advance!
You must know that those little wizards are very fragile. If someone is alarmed in advance and hurts some little wizards, that is something we cannot bear! "
"Of course, sir, oh no, professor!" Old Ike's face was a little helpless, as if he had aged ten years in an instant,
"I will cooperate with your next actions, but you have to ensure that you can find out every intruder hidden on the train. If you miss one, as you said, it is likely to cause irreparable damage to those small objects in the train.
so……"
Speaking of this, he obviously paused, swallowed back what he wanted to say, and spoke again after a while: "I mean, if you really want to act, please try to be careful."
Keez nodded, "I'll be careful, now tell me where the other conductors are?"
"This train has a total of 11 conductors including me. According to what you said before, you have subdued them. Two people are removing me. There are still 7 conductors on this train. I saw three when I went to the dining car, and one was in charge of food.
There should be two more at the rear of the car, they are in charge of looking out over there.There are two other people in the carriage. I don't know the location of these two people. They are mainly responsible for patrolling the aisle to maintain order or overhauling some equipment.
Do you know how many people have been transferred? "
"I don't know yet! You have to meet face to face to confirm." Qiz recalled the faces of those people in his heart, and continued to ask: "Can you summon them alone?"
"No, I can ask them to gather urgently here, but everyone will know when the order is issued. By the way! The two people at the rear of the car will take turns to report the situation every once in a while. It seems that someone is about to come over now.
Why don't you wait for that person to come over and make sure there is nothing wrong with him? "
"Forget it then! Why don't I look for them one by one, so as not to scare the snake away."
"I'll go with you! Two people will be safer!"
Keiz rejected his proposal, waving his hand to signal him not to follow her.
"No need! Just stay here, guard this place, and don't let anyone get close except me!"
Keiz seemed to think of something, turned around and explained, "If I don't come back later or if something happens, you can go to that Mr. Wright. He will be my teaching assistant and he is a completely trustworthy person."
As he said that, he was about to walk outside the cab, and while walking, he pulled out a short sword from its scabbard and hid it in his sleeve.
As soon as I walked through a carriage, I met a conductor who looked a little anxious and kept looking around, as if waiting for something.
His face matched that of a person in Keiz's mind. After carefully observing the condition of the person's hand, he found that his left hand had obvious calluses, which indicated that the person's dominant hand for using the wand should be the left hand.
So Keiz continued to walk forward calmly, and just when the two were about to pass by each other, he made a bold move.
The wand in the left hand spewed out a sound-proof spell first, isolating all sounds in a small space.
At the same time, the short sword hidden in the sleeve of the right hand fell down and was held in the hand, turned the wrist to make the tip of the sword upward, and then lifted it upwards violently.
The man's reaction was very quick. He reacted as soon as Chiz cast the first spell, and his left hand was going to touch the wand sheath hanging around his waist.
But no matter how quickly he reacted, it was too late. The sharp little sword pierced through his forearm, and then under the action of powerful force, the forearm was pushed upwards, piercing the man's armpit into the shoulder blade, and did not stop until the tip of the sword protruded two or three inches from his tip.
Before the man's screams came out, Qizi's curse followed.
"Passed out!"
The fake conductor pinned down by the little sword wanted to struggle to avoid it, but the huge force from the sword intertwined with his bones made him stay in place, unable to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the magic wand pointed at him, spewing out a vague spell.
Then he lost all consciousness.
