Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 157 The Threat of the Basilisk
In the corridor of Hogwarts Castle, sunlight shines down from the sky, casting some shadows on the ground.

In the distance, students were laughing and playing. In the sculpture garden across the corridor, many Ravenclaw students could be seen sitting on chairs reading books. Everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

But when Su Ze heard the low friction sound, he felt that the life-threatening death was quietly passing over people's heads in peace.

The sound was like the breathing of a monster from purgatory, creepy.

Su Ze was not worried about his own safety. Holding Mjolnir in his hand, he would not be frightened by a giant snake - after all, this was a basilisk, not Jörmungandr.

What he is most worried about now are the students who are unaware of the truth.

The basilisk's sight is the most dangerous and deadly weapon. Except for some special beings, such as the Phoenix, any other life that intersects with its sight will be killed immediately. It is a very terrifying lethal ability.

Even if it is an indirect gaze, the basilisk's gaze can petrify living things, and it is very difficult to treat, and severe cases can even be life-threatening.

In addition to magical attacks, the basilisk's fangs are also deadly weapons. Its poison can even destroy Horcruxes. Some people speculate that the basilisk's venom is an attack on the soul and cannot be cured except by the tears of the Phoenix, but this has never been proven.

Although he knew that there was such a threatening existence hidden in Hogwarts, Su Ze did not dare to act rashly at this moment.

Su Ze knew very well that if he could not kill the basilisk with one blow, his battle with it would cause terrible damage, and even some innocent students around would be affected, which he did not want to see.

Standing in place, Suze's hand had already touched the handle of Mjolnir, and Mjolnir seemed to understand, and the gem at the bottom flashed dangerously.

"Professor Su."

Just then, a voice came from behind Su Ze, interrupting his thoughts.

After a slight pause, Su Ze quickly turned around and saw Harry Potter and Ron Weasley standing behind him. Next to them, there was a cute little girl with loose hair.

"Oh Harry, I'm sorry I didn't notice you guys because I was thinking about something. Aren't you supposed to be in class? I remember you were supposed to be in the greenhouse."

"Professor, it's already noon." Harry looked at Suze strangely.

"It's noon?" Su Ze suddenly remembered that his class was over. The basilisk incident made his mind a little confused for a while, but he quickly reacted. "Yes, it's noon. Time flies, doesn't it?"

"Professor, did you encounter any accidents in your first class?"

Harry thought that Suze was behaving so strangely because he was too nervous in his first class and something went wrong. After all, Lockhart's first class was not very good.

"There are no surprises. In fact, it couldn't be more perfect. Harry, your idea is great. Using some interesting little inventions from the Muggle world can really attract the students' attention and enthusiasm. It seems that they like my class very much."

Su Ze shrugged his shoulders and said with some ease.

"It's all thanks to you, Professor. I just made some small suggestions." Harry smiled, then he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the little girl next to him. "By the way, Professor, this is Hermione, Hermione, and this is the new Professor Su."

"Hello, Professor." Hermione greeted him immediately.

"Hello, I often hear Harry mention you, one of the best students in Gryffindor." Su Ze also smiled and was polite.

At the same time, he listened attentively to the movements of the basilisk without leaving any trace, but found that there was dead silence all around, and the basilisk seemed to have left at some point.

"Tsk, it slipped away."

"Professor, what did you say?" Hermione noticed Suze's mumbling and didn't quite hear it.

"Nothing." Su Ze shook his head. He was not ready to tell these three about the basilisk. Dumbledore was not in school now, and no one could take responsibility if something unexpected happened.

If most people hear that there might be a basilisk in the school that is big enough to threaten everyone's life, their first reaction would definitely be to find a safe place as soon as possible.

But these three really dared to find out.

Exhaling lightly, Su Ze adjusted his expression to be more relaxed, and then asked casually.

"By the way, are you guys going to eat?"

"No, we don't have classes in the afternoon, so we plan to go find Hagrid." Harry said truthfully without thinking.

Hearing this, Su Ze nodded slightly. He wanted to find a way to kill the basilisk. Hagrid might be able to give some useful suggestions, so he went along with it.

"That's great. I need to go see Hagrid for something too. Let's go together."

Harry and the other two had no objection to this. Along the way, Harry kept complaining to Suze about Snape and Lockhart. These two professors were almost annoyed to him.

Snape was okay. After experiencing the hardships of the first year of school, Harry knew that Snape just disliked him, so he was somewhat used to it. But he really couldn't stand Professor Lockhart.

The greasy guy always tried to get close to him, and tirelessly boasted about his past, and asked Harry to sign his books and write his review. If it were Lockhart's female fans, they would definitely be willing to do these things, but for Harry, who is also a man, he only felt disgust and headache.

Ron and Hermione were relatively quiet. The former was a little resistant to Su Ze because of the "carjacking" incident before, and the latter was not very familiar with each other because it was their first meeting.

The four of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at Hagrid's hut.

From a distance, Su Ze noticed that Hagrid's huge body was doing something in the yard, but because the distance was a bit far, he couldn't see clearly.

Coming closer, Su Ze looked at Hagrid who had his back to the crowd and asked.

"Hagrid, what are you doing?"

Hearing Suze's voice, Hagrid, who was concentrating, was immediately startled and turned around quickly. "Oh my God, Sue, Harry, why are you here?"

"I just finished class, and Harry and the others have nothing to do this afternoon, so I came to see you." Suze explained, and then looked at Hagrid with interest.

Noticing Su Ze's gaze, Hagrid sighed heavily, stepped aside, and displayed the mess behind him to everyone.

"Oh my God!"

Hermione was the first to cry out.

Behind Hagrid, all the chickens in the chicken coop had been brutally killed. The ground was covered with chicken feathers and blood, and many chicken carcasses were piled together. It looked like they had been taken to a slaughterhouse.

"Who did this?" Harry frowned. They often visited Hagrid's hut, so they were very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here. When they saw this scene, they were all stunned.

"I don't know. I saw this scene when I came back from patrolling the Forbidden Forest before dawn. That guy didn't even let go of the eggs." Hagrid snorted, feeling angry and sad.

"This is too much, how could this happen?" Hermione said, and suddenly, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Su Ze's expression was a little strange.

Suze also noticed that all the chickens in the chicken coop were killed. Combined with the actions of the basilisk he had just noticed, he could now be sure that the plot had begun and the heir of Slytherin would go on a killing spree in Hogwarts.

The source of everything comes from Voldemort's diary when he was young, which is one of the seven Horcruxes and also the culprit of these things.

If I remember correctly, the diary is now in the hands of Ron's sister Ginny Weasley. That poor little girl is a freshman this year. She should be controlled by the soul in the diary.

"Hagrid, can I talk to you alone?" Su Ze asked.

"Of course." Hagrid heard it without thinking too much.

Although he didn't know what Suze wanted to do, Hagrid didn't refuse. He let Harry and the other two enter the house, and he and Suze walked to the vegetable garden.

"Were all these chickens killed last night?" Su Ze asked.

"It should be late at night. I passed by the chicken coop last night before my patrol and took a look. They were all fine, nothing happened." Hagrid said, and then thought of something else. "Su, do you think a weasel got in?"

"Probably not." Su Ze said with a gloomy face, turning to look at Hagrid. "By the way, you are a master of magical creatures, do you know anything about creatures like basilisks?"

"Basilisk?"

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Su Ze suddenly changed the subject here, but he still answered honestly.

"The basilisk is a very dangerous magical animal. It has a long history. It was hatched from a rooster egg by a toad. The basilisk is a very dangerous creature. The World Magic Association has strictly prohibited wizards from breeding this creature privately."

Breeding basilisks is a strictly prohibited illegal act because this creature is too threatening. However, because the breeding method is too simple, there are still many dark wizards in the Middle World who do it secretly.

In fact, as time went by, no wizard had been willing to cultivate this creature for hundreds of years.

After all, a basilisk is too dangerous when it grows up. Apart from Parseltongue, even some dark wizards cannot control this creature. Breeding it without authorization will not only bring no benefits, but will threaten their own lives. So slowly, this magical creature was lost in history.

Suze knew very well that the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets had lived for hundreds of years. It only took orders from the true heir of Slytherin, and even Harry's Parseltongue could not control it.

Now that it has been released, it will inevitably look for prey in the school, that is, those non-pure-blood wizards born from Muggle families.

Because the basilisk can smell the blood of students, it will be a deadly threat to students who do not have pure wizard blood.

But the next moment, Su Ze suddenly thought of himself.

"Oh Fak"
