Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 609

c607 Victor wakes up

“This…here is…”

Ron said tremblingly.

The scene that appeared in front of him at this moment was beyond his imagination. It was something that had never appeared even in his most terrifying nightmares.

In a huge dark hall, a huge alloy workbench was placed deep in the hall. There were many ‘torture instruments’ placed on it. What was frightening was that those ‘torture instruments’ and the workbench were also sporadically covered with… Covered with a layer of hard scab, its disgusting dark red color can easily remind people of something frightening.

In addition, countless sealed liquid jars containing various biological organisms are also densely placed on both sides. Cold light lamps are also installed at the bottom of the jars, emitting a faint green light to illuminate the contents of those jars.

These lights are the only light sources in the entire hall. Under the illumination of these lights, the originally dark hall becomes even more eerie and terrifying.

The scene here also explains why a large area outside is completely uninhabited.

Just imagine, if there was a gloomy guy living around your house who studied corpses and all kinds of black magic all day long, then you would also want to move.

Unless you are poor and can only afford the down payment for a house in this area.

Of course, this is just a joke.

The real reason why there is no one living around is more likely because the research being conducted here is extremely important, so Mike and the others moved the people here out of the need for confidentiality.

“…here…could this be the alchemy laboratory of some dark wizard?”

Ron finally finished his words tremblingly. At this moment, he was already eroded by fear.

He had seen a lot of biological specimens and organs in Snape’s Potions classroom, but in terms of horror, the things in Snape’s classroom could only be considered child’s play.

This time, Hermione next to him rarely satirized him. Instead, she swallowed hard and said in a panicked tone:

“No, I guess…I guess this should be the laboratory of some BT scientist. They must have conducted some terrible experiments here! Oh, Ron, you don’t know what a scientist is. It’s not your fault, after all. You’re just a wizard.”

Ron trembled even more when he heard this. Although he didn’t know what a BT scientist was, he knew that the guy who could line up with the scary dark wizard must not be a good guy.

Harry on the other side did not participate in the discussion between Hermione and Ron. He frowned and looked at the eerie hall around him, seeming to be looking for something.

Immediately afterwards, he accelerated and rushed into a door at the back.

Seeing this, Hermione and Ron hurriedly chased after him.

The layout of the laboratory at the back is similar to that of the hall in front. It is also a spacious space with a huge alloy workbench.

But what is different from the previous hall is that there is a huge magic lamp embedded in the ceiling of this laboratory. The soft and bright light is released from it, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

Hermione also noticed that under the light, the shadows under her and others’ feet were very faint, almost invisible.

This made her realize that the magic lamp above their heads was something more than simple. It was probably something similar to a shadowless lamp in an operating room.

In addition, what is displayed in this laboratory is no longer those terrifying specimens, but some machines and tools with a cold style and full of science fiction atmosphere.

Harry, on the other hand, was standing in the laboratory with a dull expression on his face, as if he had been shocked by something.

Hermione couldn’t help but follow Harry’s gaze and saw a huge silver-white rectangular box standing on the wall in the corner.

The surface of this rectangular box is as smooth as a mirror, with faint green light flickering in the gaps, and it is surrounded by various precision instruments.

And through a transparent panel on the surface of the box, Hermione could clearly see a young Asian man lying in the box.

The young man’s appearance was not ugly, but he was definitely not handsome either. He could only be described as an ordinary passerby.

His appearance made Hermione couldn’t help but think that the huge box was a coffin.

But while Hermione was observing the box, Harry’s became extremely complicated.

He had recognized that the guy lying in the huge box now was his enemy, Victor, who killed Professor Snape.

To be precise, it should be a clone of Victor.

But the fact that he still exists is enough to show that Mike didn’t kill Victor as he said he would, but instead imprisoned him.

And this should be Victor’s prison.

Thinking this, Harry couldn’t help but clenched his fists.

Logically speaking, at this time, he should just go up and kill Victor, who was still sleeping. After all, the source of all his recent sufferings came from him.

But for some reason, Harry couldn’t do it.

No!

Maybe Harry knows why! It’s just that he doesn’t want to admit it!

Unwilling to admit that Victor is an ally that he can win over and use now! He didn’t want to admit that he had the intention of awakening Victor! He didn’t want to admit that he was moved!

“Huhuhu!~”

Harry gasped for air, sweat dripping down his face and soaking his clothes.

Now he felt extremely painful, and he screamed involuntarily under this painful torture.

“what should I do!”

Harry’s voice echoed in the laboratory. The sudden loud sound startled Hermione and Ron, who both cast concerned looks at Harry.

“Harry, what’s wrong with you? What should I do?”

Ron said anxiously, even though he was as slow as he was, he noticed something was wrong with his good friend at this moment.

However, Harry did not answer him because this was not the answer he wanted.

‘The moment the coin is tossed, the tosser already has a choice in his mind. Harry, in fact, you have already made your choice in your heart, right? Go ahead and follow the truest wishes in your heart. You are an independent individual. Don’t let others choose for you, and don’t let other people’s will control you! ’

The sound of the Death Cloak rang in Harry’s ears as he wished, and upon hearing this, Harry’s breathing finally became calmer.

After a long time, he finally seemed to have made a decision, gritted his teeth and walked towards the huge ‘coffin’.

“It’s okay, this is just temporary. In the end, everything will return to its perfect state! Everything will be fine! Everything…”

Harry, who kept mumbling, finally came to the ‘coffin’ and looked at the face inside the ‘coffin’ that had appeared in his nightmares countless times and the obvious green button on the ‘coffin’ panel. A strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Wake up! You beast!”

A loud shout suddenly came from Harry’s mouth, and at the same time, his right hand turned into a fist and hit the button hard.

“Buzz!~”

Centered on that button, more than a dozen dark purple light strips spread out on the ‘coffin’ in a zigzag manner, and then spread to the walls through connecting wires, and finally spread throughout the entire laboratory.

Then there was the sound of fans turning on as a series of radiators started, and countless bits of light rang out from various machines in the laboratory.

This sudden change made Hermione and Ron panic, standing there looking around at a loss.

Harry’s eyes were still focused on the Victor clone in the ‘coffin’.

Finally, under his gaze, the hatch of the ‘coffin’ opened, and Victor stood up slowly with his hands on the armrest beside him.

Following his movements, Harry tightened his grip on the wand in his hand, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

Having suffered a lot in the past, he knew very well how terrifying the power of Victor’s clone was. Although he had obtained a large number of mysterious objects, if he lost his vigilance, he would very likely capsize in the gutter.

However, what surprised Harry was that Victor did not attack immediately after waking up. Instead, he looked at Harry and others sideways, and then said with a smile:

“I can’t believe that the person who woke me up would be you. What, do you want to seek revenge from me?”

“Although I really want to do this, I have more important things to do with you now.”

“Really? That’s really… flattering me!”

Victor said with a smile, his body tilted slightly to the right. Although he looked loose, he was actually ready to launch an attack immediately.

He had already seen the hostility in Harry’s body. After all, the other party was too young, and there was nothing he could hide on his immature face.

But he still doesn’t mind hearing what the other party has to say. After all, this is in his laboratory, on his home court, and he has absolute confidence!

Harry on the opposite side also raised the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing Victor’s speech.

Of all the situations, what he fears most is that Victor directly attacks without saying anything, because this means that there is no possibility of communication between the two.

Now that the other party is willing to communicate with him, things will be much easier to handle.

Taking a deep breath, Harry said:

“Don’t you want to collect the three Deathly Hallows? It just so happens that I want to do the same now. I think we might be able to cooperate.”

Victor obviously didn’t expect Harry to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said:

“Oh? This is quite strange! But I remember that you were not very resistant to collecting the Deathly Hallows before? Why have you changed your mind now?”

“Ha! I just think so much, can’t I?”

“That’s not possible. If you want to cooperate, you have to show some sincerity.” Victor stretched out his finger and shook it and said, “Now you don’t even want to tell me the reason why you want to collect the Deathly Hallows. I How can I trust you to cooperate with me?”

Harry didn’t speak, he frowned as if he was thinking about something.

“In that case, let me say it first.” Victor saw this and continued, “My purpose is very simple. As a so-called researcher, I am very interested in the Deathly Hallows, so I want to collect them to explore Let’s take a look at the knowledge inside. What about you?”

Harry still remained silent. At this time, Hermione and Ron had also come closer, looking at Harry with worried and puzzled expressions.

Like Harry, they also regretted coming with Harry. What they discovered in front of them was already beyond their understanding.

Harry looked back at Hermione and Ron, seemed to have made a decision, and said to Victor:

“I want to defeat death and take back the lives of my loved ones from the hands of death!”

“You are truly worthy of being the savior! This is truly noble! But have you ever considered that the rumor that the Deathly Hallows can defeat death might be false?”

Victor still had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

As a completely mechanized life, although he cannot master magic spells like Legilimency, he can rely on machinery to observe the other party’s micro-expressions, heartbeat and body temperature to determine whether the other party is lying.

In some ways, this method is more useful than Legilimency.

After all, Legilimency can also be shielded by Occlumency, but this mechanical observation method cannot be escaped without long-term training.

After identification, Victor was sure that Harry must be lying.

“I can make my own judgment on this. You don’t need to worry. You just need to tell me whether you are willing to cooperate.”

“Well…” Victor pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll just trust you. I hope we can have a happy cooperation.”

As he said that, Victor stretched out his hand to Harry, but Harry had no intention of taking it and just stood there looking at him coldly.

Seeing this, Victor could only retract his hand in embarrassment, smiled and scratched his head and said:

“So now, Harry, can you tell me about the current situation and what we are going to do next? You know, I have been sealed for a long time, and I still have no information about the outside world. In a state of knowledge.”

Harry smiled after hearing this. Victor was very cooperative at the moment, which was exactly what Harry needed.

So he nodded and spoke directly about the current difficulties they were encountering and his plan to steal the Deathly Hallows from Mike.

Of course, he didn’t say a few key points, such as the existence of the Death Cloak and the fact that someone was hunting him.

This is perfectly normal. He just wants to use Victor to achieve his goal, so how could he reveal real information to Victor.

In Harry’s opinion, it would be best if Victor died directly in action.

This is what best meets his expectations.

Victor was still smiling after hearing this, as if he didn’t notice anything.

This made Harry feel a little proud of having succeeded.

However, what he didn’t know was that Victor had already seen through the proud micro-expression on his face.

Victor coughed slightly, spread his hands and said to Harry:

“It’s almost time, my dear Harry. There is no need for me to argue with you now, so you can just stay calm.”
