The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 378 The bottom overcomes the top
The lion showed its fangs. As Xing Ze said before, outsiders will either defeat the natives and become the new leaders, or they will become victims of the battle.
“Stop playing tricks, wizard.” Marco reminded fiercely, “Our three guns are full of exorcism bullets, which can easily break any spell.”
Just when the situation was getting tense, Marco suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a lot of blood splashed on Roman’s body opposite him.
In the flash of lightning, Xing Ze suddenly hid under the table. Roman hadn’t recovered from the mouthful of blood. Although Todd was the oldest, his reaction was not slow. He shot immediately.
It’s just that Xing Ze was as fast as lightning. When the gunshot rang out, he had already arrived at Roman’s side. Only then did the young man realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
Xing Ze skillfully grabbed his gun-holding hand and hid behind him, using him as a human shield as much as possible to prevent Todd from shooting.
But he found that this was not necessary. Todd and Marco spit out blood. They covered their mouths and collapsed to the ground in pain.
“What…what!” Roman exclaimed, but as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and immediately after, blood poured out of his mouth.
Xing Ze quickly let go of him and pushed him forward to stay away from him. Roman fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
After a while, Xing Ze walked forward carefully, kicked the gun away from Todd, and then squatted down to check his pulse. Todd was dead, and presumably the other two were too.
He stood up and sniffed with his nose. The room was filled with the smell of blood, but there was also a faint fishy smell in it. The smell he was familiar with was snake venom.
Thinking of this, Xing Ze quickly came to the door. The potion in his body had not faded, and he could not use magic yet, but his physical fitness was still there. If he encountered the snake man, he could still encounter it.
There were footsteps outside the door, and someone was standing at the door. Xing Ze took a long breath and waited for someone to open the door.
“Are you still alive, Xing Ze?” Jezebeth’s voice sounded at the door.
Xing Ze frowned and did not reply.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Jezebeth opened her mouth and said, “I know you are still alive, Xing Ze. You will never die so easily. Tell me, are all of them dead?”
Still silent.
“When did you become so shy, Xing Ze? I saved your life, don’t you even say thank you? Or is it inconvenient for you to speak now? In that case, I will come in.”
“Why did you kill them?” Xing Ze finally asked.
“Did he mention it to you? I mean Todd, that old pride of lions theory?”
“certainly.”
“Carnivore, huh? Over the years, I’ve gotten a little tired of this theory. So I poisoned the steak. I thought I’d go in and talk to you.”
“No, let’s talk through the door.”
“Oh, Xing Ze. You don’t think I’m going to attack you, do you?”
“That’s not good. You also poisoned my tea.”
“Haha, if I really wanted your life, I wouldn’t just give you a decoction that suppresses magic power.”
“Then tell me, what is all this about?”
Xing Ze heard Jezebeth’s sigh, “I know it’s difficult for you to cooperate with them. Once the negotiation breaks down, they will force you to hand over the wand, but I know how important the wand is to a wizard.”
“So you expected all this? And then planned a murder, in the name of saving me?”
“I think there are some misunderstandings between us. I just want to help you and solve some self-righteous high-level officials. Open the door, Xing Ze, I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I also plan to cooperate with you on finding Thomas. thing.”
Xing Ze also thought about delaying it for a while. As long as the magic suppressing potion expired, he could mobilize his magic power to apparate and escape from this damn ghost place.
“The time is almost up, friend. I know what you are thinking. You want to rely on Apparation to escape, right? To be honest, there is really nothing I can do about it. But you worked so hard to track this down and spent so much thought on it. , finally got a clue. Is it possible to give up like this?”
“At least you can save your life. It’s not worth risking your own life for something like this.
,””What about “Snake’s Teeth”? Don’t you want it?”
“Stop writing bad checks, ma’am. I don’t know if you really have one or if you’re just lying to me.”
The effect of the decoction had almost dissipated. Xing Ze took out his magic wand and appeared in the kitchen outside the next second. The people outside the door had no time to react.
After seeing Xing Ze’s raised wand, whether it was the restaurant chef, bookstore owner Riley, or Emily, they all obediently raised their hands.
Jezebeth turned around calmly, with a smile on her face, as if she was not surprised by Xing Ze’s behavior.
“Like I said, we don’t mean anything malicious. We just want to work with you.”
Look at these people. Xing Ze felt a headache. Step after step, he was like a dog chasing bones, stupidly following into the pit dug by others.
“Oh, what a good show.” Xing Ze said with emotion, “Because he was dissatisfied with the oppression of his superiors, he poisoned them and killed them. Then he made the decision on their behalf…”
“You’re wrong, sir.” Bookstore owner Riley interjected, “Those people are monsters, we are just cleaning up the house.”
“Use me as bait.” Xing Ze emphasized, “I don’t care what happens inside you, just don’t involve me. Then, tell me the whereabouts of “Snake’s Teeth”.”
“Only Thomas knows where it is,” Emily replied.
Hearing this answer, Xing Ze couldn’t help but grinned, “Okay, it’s Thomas again. So you are also looking for “Snake’s Teeth”.”
“Of course not, we just want to find Thomas.”
“for what?”
Jezebeth waved her hand and said, “You always want to find a reasonable motive for everything, right?”
“How many good Samaritans are left in this day and age? Do you expect me to believe that you four poisoners are looking for Thomas out of conscience and compassion?”
Riley felt offended and snapped: “I told you, they are the monsters. We are just exercising justice.”
“What you said will only trouble me more.” Xing Ze looked at Jezebeth, “Explain, explain.”
“We found that a truck would stop at the University of Bristol, and someone from the association was secretly dealing with other forces. So I investigated in depth.”
Jezebeth paused and turned to look at the office. “The three people in the room have dealings with some bad forces. This is why we need to clean up the door.”
truck? Are they dealing with the Snake Man or the Old Record Gang?
“Soon after, the place where they traded became old Kimball’s house, or the cemetery nearby to be precise. The house was only used as a temporary warehouse. That’s why we wanted to find Thomas and find out. What is all this about?”
“Those three should know more than asking Thomas.”
The head chef who had been silent said: “The three of them are not easy to deal with, and even if we catch one, the other two will definitely notice it. It must be solved at once and cleanly. You know, the lion But social animals know how to cooperate.”
That’s why you went to great lengths to recommend me to them. Xing Ze suddenly understood everything, and he became the key to allowing these three people to appear in the same place at the same time.
