The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 388
c378 Lower overcomes upper
The lion bared its fangs. As Xing Ze had said before, outsiders would either defeat the natives and become the new leader, or become victims of the struggle.
“Don’t play tricks, wizard.” Marco reminded fiercely, “Our three guns are full of exorcism bullets, which can easily break any spell.”
Just when the situation was tense, Marco suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and a lot of blood splashed on Roman on the opposite side.
In a flash, Xing Ze suddenly hid under the table. Roman had not recovered from the blood. Although Todd was the oldest, his reaction was not slow. He immediately opened fire.
However, Xing Ze’s speed was as fast as lightning. When the gunshot sounded, he had already come to Roman’s side. The young man realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Xing Ze skillfully twisted his gun-holding hand and hid behind him, trying to use him as a human shield to prevent Todd’s shooting.
But he found that he didn’t need to do so. Todd vomited blood just like Marco, and they both covered their mouths and collapsed to the ground in pain.
“What…what!” Roman exclaimed, but as soon as he finished speaking, he also coughed violently, and then blood gushed out of his mouth.
Xing Ze quickly let go of him and pushed him forward to get 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 away the gun next to Todd, and then squatted down to check his pulse. Todd was dead, and I think the other two were also dead.
He stood up and sniffed with his nose. The room was full of blood, but there was also a faint fishy smell in it. This smell was familiar to him, it was snake venom.
Thinking of this, Xing Ze quickly came to the door. The magic potion in his body had not subsided, and he could not use magic yet, but his physical fitness was still there. If he met a snake man, he could still touch it.
There were footsteps outside the door, and someone stood at the door. Xing Ze let out a long breath and waited for someone to come and open the door.
“Are you still alive, Xing Ze?” Ye Zebei’s voice sounded at the door.
Xing Ze frowned and did not reply.
Seeing no movement inside, Ye Zebei said: “I know you are still alive, Xing Ze. You will never die so easily. Tell me, are they all 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 came in.”
“Why kill them?” Xing Ze finally asked.
“Did he mention it to you? I mean Todd, that old-fashioned lion theory?”
“Of course.”
“Carnivore, huh? I’m really tired of this theory over the years. So I poisoned the steak. I think I’ll go in and talk to you.”
“No, let’s talk through the door.”
“Oh, Xingze. You don’t think I want to do anything to you, do you?”
“That’s hard to say. You also poisoned my tea.”
“Haha, if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t just use the decoction that suppresses magic.”
“Then tell me, what’s going on?”
Xingze heard Jezebeth sigh, “I know you It’s hard to cooperate with them. Once the negotiations fail, they will force you to hand over your 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 deal with some self-righteous senior executives. Open the door, Xingze, I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I plan to cooperate with you on finding Thomas.”
Xingze still wants to delay a little time. As long as the magic suppressant potion expires, he can mobilize his magic power to Apparate and escape from this damn place.
“Time is almost up, friend. I know what you are thinking. You want to escape by Apparition, right? To be honest, I really can’t do anything about it. But you have worked so hard to track it down, spent so much effort, and finally got a little clue. Are you going to give up just like that?”
“At least you can save your life. It’s not worth it to risk your life for this kind of thing.”,
“What about “Snake’s Fang”? Don’t you want it?”
“Don’t write a blank check anymore, ma’am. I don’t know if you really have it or are just lying to me.”
The effect of the decoction almost dissipated. Xing Ze took out the magic wand and appeared in the kitchen outside the next second. The people outside the door didn’t have time to react.
After seeing Xing Ze raised the magic wand, whether it was the restaurant chef, the bookstore owner Riley, or Emily, they all half-raised their hands obediently.
Yezebeth turned around unhurriedly, with a smile on her face, as if she was not surprised at all by Xing Ze’s behavior.
“Like I said, we have no ill intentions. We just want to cooperate with you.”
Looking at these people. Xing Ze felt a headache. Step by step, he was like a dog chasing bones, foolishly following the pit dug by others.
“Oh, what a good show.” Xing Ze sighed, “Because they were dissatisfied with the oppression of their superiors, they poisoned them. Then they made decisions on their behalf…”
“You are wrong, sir.” Riley, the bookstore owner, interrupted, “Those people are monsters, we are just cleaning up the door.”
“Use me as bait.” Xing Ze emphasized, “I don’t care what happened inside you, just don’t involve me. Then, tell me the whereabouts of “Snake’s Fang”.”
“Only Thomas knows where it is.” Emily replied.
Hearing this answer, Xing Ze couldn’t help but grin, “Okay, Thomas again. So you are also looking for “Snake’s Fang”.”
“Of course not, we just want to find Thomas.”
“For what?”
Yezebeth waved her hand and said, “You always want to find a reasonable motive for everything, right?”
“How many kind-hearted people are left in this era? Do you expect me to believe that you four poisoners are looking for Thomas out of conscience and sympathy?”
Riley felt offended, and he said sternly: “I said, they are monsters. We are just exercising justice.”
“What you said will only make me more troubled.” Xing Ze looked at Yezebeth, “Explain.”
“We found that there are trucks that will stop at Brestchester University, and some people in the association are secretly trading with other forces. So I investigated it in depth.”
Yezebeth paused, turned her head and looked at the office, “The three people in the room have dealings with some bad forces. That’s why we have to clean up the house.”
Trucks? Are they trading with the snake people or the old record gang?
“Soon after, the place where they traded became old Kimball’s house, or more precisely, the cemetery nearby. The house was only used as a temporary warehouse. So, we wanted to find Thomas and figure out what was going on.”
“Compared to asking Thomas, the three people should know more.”
The head chef, who had been silent all this time, said, “The three of them are not easy to deal with, and even if we catch one, the other two will definitely notice it. We must solve it all at once and cleanly. You know, lions are social animals and know how to cooperate.”
That’s why you took so much trouble to recommend me to them. Xing Ze suddenly understood everything. He became the key to making these three people appear in the same place at the same time.
