Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

It was at this moment that Harry sensed the murderous intent emanating from Moody, the same intent Hermione had described.

It's a kind of cold that you can feel just by standing next to it.

Clearly, Moody's has its own way of dealing with this threat.

Professor Moody's expression turned ferocious as he said:
"Come here, I know about your father. I guarantee that when you hear about him, your hair will stand on end!"

Would you like to come and listen?

"Come here!"

Seeing this, Malfoy was so frightened that he ran away with his men, while Moody was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Alastor, Alastor!"

"Calm down!"

"We never use transfiguration to punish students."

Professor McGonagall looked seriously at Moody pointing his wand forward.

Moody stopped and looked sternly at McGonagall, who was dressed in a green magic robe:
"You said it yourself, that was 'you,' not me!"

"Now that Dumbledore has invited me, I must do things my way!"

"Is there a problem, Professor McGonagall?"

As Moody spoke, he also drew his wand and began to confront McGonagall.

And judging from his imposing manner, he's not intimidated at all.

Harry even felt a sense of anticipation.

At this moment, Cheng Xiao, who hadn't gone far, was amazed by what he saw.

In the original story, Barty Jr., disguised as Moody, also experienced this scene, but he didn't have the same imposing presence as the real Moody.

Just when Cheng Xiao thought he was about to have his eyes opened.

Harry, whose IQ and EQ are both off the charts, quickly walked between the two professors.

"Professor McGonagall, good afternoon."

"Um, I have some questions about the Goblet of Fire tournament. I wonder if I could look into it?"

Seeing Professor McGonagall nod, Harry followed her to the side.

After asking a few questions, Professor McGonagall's expression improved slightly. She glanced at Moody and then left.

With Harry's interruption, Moody was no longer as angry as before.

"You two, come with me!"

After watching Professor McGonagall leave, Moody spoke to Harry and Cheng Xiao, who was watching the commotion from a distance.

The two then reunited.

However, Harry continued to condemn Cheng Xiao throughout the rest of the journey.

They didn't stop until they followed him into Moody's office.

Because both of their attention was diverted.

After Professor Moody waved his wand and closed the door, he sat down in the chair and the first thing he did was to detach his right leg.

Then the wand was waved again.

The tools on the desk were put to good use as they were disassembled, oiled, and maintained.

Both Harry and Cheng Du were surprised by this scene.

All I can say is that magic changes lives.

"Are you surprised, Harry?"

Moody looked at his legs being disassembled and then reassembled, and said with a very calm expression:
"This is my truth-revealing mirror."

“Every time I see him, I remind myself not to let my guard down, no matter who I am facing or when.”

"Because if you let your guard down, this is the price you pay!"

"Just like I told Malfoy, someone who stabs a classmate in the back is absolutely awful."

"That's not a friend, that's an enemy."

"And when facing the enemy, there is only one thing to do."

"That means making him disappear."

As he spoke, Professor Moody gave a kind smile to his scarred face.

“I heard from Dumbledore that we should thank you, Cheng Xiao, and Harry, this time as well.”

"Otherwise, who knows what Little Barty will do with my identity next, or even I might be in danger."

"thank you all."

Faced with this sudden expression of gratitude, Harry was momentarily at a loss for words.
Cheng Xiao seemed to hear the notification sound of his favorability rating continuously increasing in the game.

Moody spoke again:
"So, Harry, are you two ready?"

Harry was stunned:

"what to prepare?"

"Of course, we're preparing to face the fire dragon."

"I think you two already know, right?"

"The first stage of the Goblet of Fire competition consists of four dragons and a phoenix!"

"It's just as outrageous as it was a hundred years ago."

Moody looked at Cheng Xiao and Harry with a serious expression.

"Harry, I'm not worried about you if you encounter a phoenix, because Dumbledore is there. So, if you draw a dragon, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Harry looked at Cheng Xiao before speaking, "Uh, this."

"Um, I think..."

Moody sighed as he looked at Harry, then turned to another person and spoke:

"And you, Mr. Cheng Xiao, how do you plan to deal with Phoenix Fox?"

"I don't think Dumbledore will make an exception for you!"

Cheng Xiao chuckled, his lips twitching.

He also wondered why everyone thought he was destined to draw the Phoenix, Fox.

Well, Cheng Xiao himself felt the same way.

So he had been thinking about what to do, but just now, after Cheng Xiao saw Moody take off his leg, he had an idea.

Seeing the two silent figures, especially Harry, Moody wasn't surprised at all.

Instead, after thinking for a moment, he spoke again earnestly:

"Harry, do you know?"

“When I was your age, I heard that Cedric had already completed the entire course of Transfiguration.”

"Able to turn a newspaper into an alarm clock that tells the time."

“Miss Hibiscus Delacour is definitely not just a pretty face.”

"As for Krum, I think you know him better than I do, but what I want to say is that Karkaroff, who is by Krum's side, is different. He is a man who likes to offer advice and he will definitely help Krum."

"And what can you do now?"

"Is there anything worth showing off?"

Upon hearing this question, Harry thought of all the magic he was good at, but there was only one that others weren't good at.

"I will invoke the gods to protect me!"

Moody was taken aback:
"How do you know this kind of defensive magic? Oh, right, it's Lupin."

"But even if you learn it, so what? Can you summon the highest-level guardian spirit?"

Harry nodded. "Yes, it looks like a deer."

Seeing the genuine seriousness on Harry's face, Moody slowly sat up straight.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

The protagonist's halo is something that never makes sense.

If he wasn't mistaken, Moody probably also knew this magic, but he hadn't fully mastered it, let alone summoning a guardian spirit.

And Harry Potter, at the age of fifteen, was able to do magic that even an Auror couldn't control.

This makes one sigh with emotion.
Moody looked at Harry meaningfully:

"The Spell of Invoking the Gods is indeed a difficult spell, but it is more suitable for fighting Death Eaters than for fighting fire dragons."

"So Harry, what I'm trying to say is that the upcoming matches won't be easy."

Leaving Cheng Xiao aside for now, your other three opponents are all formidable, so you should consider your strengths!

"You have it, the kind they don't!" Moody reminded Harry, seeing his bewildered expression.
"Think about it, Potter!"

What are your strengths?

“I… okay, I can fly, and I can fly pretty well, but Krum…”

Moody's eyes lit up this time as he listened, and he nodded:

"Yes, yes, that's right, and I've seen the reports too."

The newspapers reported on the World Cup final, and it was quite good.

"And you have something that Krum doesn't have."

Harry was stunned: "I have it? They don't?"

Moody nodded: "Yes, fire bolts!"

Harry was taken aback: "Firebolt? But the rules say that you can't bring a flying broom when you enter the arena."

Moody smiled: "No, but the use of wands is not prohibited!"

"You can use the Summoning Charm to summon Firebolts after the match starts, and that way you won't be breaking the rules."

Hearing Moody's words, Harry's eyes lit up and he murmured:

"If we had the Fire Arrow, its speed would allow it to easily outrun the Fire Dragon, and then..."

Harry didn't continue, because he already knew what to do.

Seeing that Harry had finally grasped the concept, Moody looked at Cheng Xiao.

This time, before he could even ask Cheng Xiao what help he needed, this person spoke up first.

Could you tell me about your prosthetic eye?

"I'm a little curious."

Moody paused for a moment when he heard Cheng Xiao's strange question.

They simply loosened and removed the prosthetic eye and the straps that held the eyeball in place.

Cheng Xiao and Harry were both taken aback when they saw the fleshy brown hole behind the eyeball.

"Here you go, this is very simple, just wear it in front of your eyes."

"It might feel strange the first time you use it, so be careful not to fall."

Cheng Xiao gestured, looking at the eyeball in his palm that was still moving even after being removed, and muttered to himself.

But then, the instant Cheng Xiao placed the strange eyeball on his eyelid,

The original line of sight was split in two.

One side is normal, while the other side has become a strange scene with 360-degree perspective.

Not to mention the back of his head, Cheng Xiao could even see the soles of Harry Potter's feet clearly.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao excitedly shouted:

"White? Rolling your eyes?"

"Still an external eye roll! Holy crap?"

"And this ability, with its X-ray vision and panoramic view, and the distance!"

As he spoke, Cheng Xiao turned his attention to the distance.

Soon, their gaze passed through the castle walls and looked outside.

After seeing the limit.

The first thing that came to Cheng Xiao's mind was the clothes that Zhan Lan, Zhu Wen, and Luo Li were wearing...

No, I can't think about it! I can't think about it!
With unprecedented willpower, Cheng Xiao suppressed his thoughts that had already taken off.

After letting out a long breath, I picked it off with trembling hands.

Cheng Xiao lowered his head with a serious expression, looking at the eyeball in his hand.

"Good stuff, good stuff!"

"Even if I don't need this later, giving it to Zero Point is perfectly fine."

As Cheng Xiao muttered to himself, he looked up and changed his expression.

"Moody, Professor!"

How about we make a trade?

Moody didn't know what a white eye was, but he did see the change in Cheng Xiao's face.

Naturally, one could guess what this person was thinking.

Because everyone who knew about his prosthetic eye's abilities was envious.

So upon hearing this, he immediately said:

"If it's the Goblet of Fire tournament, I can borrow it..."

Before Moody could finish his sentence, Cheng Xiao's suggestion forced him to stop.

Because the two of them were talking about completely different things.

He intended to borrow it, but the other party wanted it.

And most importantly, he proposed an exchange that the other party couldn't refuse.

"One leg!"

Cheng Xiao interrupted Moody directly, pointing to the "demon-revealing mirror" on the table.

"I have a special magic that can regenerate severed limbs without any side effects. How about exchanging your healthy right leg for this prosthetic eye?"

Upon hearing this, Moody subconsciously touched his empty thigh with one hand.

He did not speak immediately.

Instead, he stood under Cheng Xiao's gaze for a while before saying, "My prosthetic eye is..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by the impatient Cheng Xiao.

"Add an eye, and trade your right leg for the eye, and you'll be a healthy person."

"Furthermore, I can treat you first until you are satisfied with the results before you pay me back."

Looking at the excited Cheng Xiao, Moody took a deep breath.

"My mysterious friend from the East, don't be in a hurry."

"I agree to your deal."

“You may not understand how important a leg and an eye are to me, so I have no reason to refuse.”

Moody said with a strange expression:

"I was just introducing this prosthetic eye; you may not have heard of the maker's name."

"His name is Nicolas Lemaître, and he is a great..."

"Um, what, you two know this name?"

Moody was about to begin his introduction when both Harry and Cheng Xiao looked surprised as soon as he uttered the name.

Harry nodded first:
"I know, he was a medieval alchemist, the creator of the legendary Philosopher's Stone!"

"So, Professor Moody, this prosthetic eye was also made by him?"

Moody looked up, as if recalling something, and finally nodded, saying:

"That's right. After the First Wizarding War ended, the first Dark Lord Grindelwald was imprisoned in Azkaban."

Through Dumbledore's introduction, I, severely wounded, came to know this legendary figure.

"Then I got this prosthetic eye and this leg."

"Moreover, strictly speaking, this prosthetic eye was made by Dumbledore and Flamel together."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao stared at the eyeball in his hand and began to shout in his heart.

I made money, I made money!
The magical artifact jointly created by the creator of the Philosopher's Stone and Dumbledore has made them a fortune!

After the initial excitement, Cheng Xiao reacted quickly:

"Well, now that it's healed, you don't need to use this leg anymore, right? Can I take it back and keep it as a keepsake?"

"Actually, I didn't tell you, but I am an admirer of this alchemist."

Looking at Cheng Xiao, who had wide eyes, Moody nodded, even though he felt there was something wrong with what Cheng Xiao was saying.

Cheng Xiao felt as if he were surrounded by Lady Luck in that instant.

He disdains the broken prosthetics from the 1980s, but if you say they were made by Nicolas Lemaître, that's a different story.

Even if I don't understand this myself, I can take it back for Chu Xuan and the others to study.

Not to mention the prosthetic eye.

X-ray vision—that was one of the two abilities he desperately wanted!
Don't ask what the first one is; it's invisibility, of course. (End of Chapter)
