Grindelwald walked out of the Room of All Requests and changed back into Jacob Bohan. He calmly walked down the stairs and walked towards the school hall.
It was Christmas in Hogwarts. The cold air was filled with the faint sounds of Christmas carols. However, the ethereal Hallelujah sounded more like a dirge at this moment.
He walked to the corner of the hall and stopped. The fluctuating mental force field in the air made him understand what was waiting for him.
He looked at the snow-covered Scottish mountains outside the window, exhaled a puff of white mist, sighed, and smiled.
"Are you here to invite me to the Christmas dinner, Abusi?"
A bright light from a magic wand lit up in the darkness, and a man walked out silently. He had a reddish-brown beard and hair, wore a grayish-red robe, and a pointed wizard's hat. It was Abusi Dumbledore. He was dressed very formally.
Behind him, a dozen Hogwarts professors raised their magic wands and slowly surrounded him. Everyone's magic wands were shining with the light of magic, and the fluctuating mental force field was almost suffocating.
After a moment of silence, Dumbledore pulled out his magic wand, pointed it at Grindelwald's head, and said coldly,
"We received a message from Fatir. How long have you been hiding?"
"Not long, only half a year."
Grindelwald said casually, his fingers stroking the snowflakes on the windowsill.
"What about the missing students? What did you do to them? "
"If I say I killed them, would you believe me?"
Grindelwald laughed.
All the professors' faces changed. They raised their magic wands and took a step forward. Only Dumbledore raised a hand and stopped them.
Dumbledore asked, "Why did you do that?"
Grindelwald asked, "Why did you kill them?"
Dumbledore asked, "Why did you take all the blame for yourself?"
"Ha, my greatest pleasure is to listen to ignorant people call me a demon king, desperately slander me, and denounce me at the top of their lungs. Then I don't even look at them. This process gives me a great sense of intellectual superiority."
After a few seconds of silence, Dumbledore said softly, "You are a complete bastard."
At this moment, the huge Slughorn stood out from the crowd and said angrily, "Cut the crap, what do you want to do in Hogwarts?"
Grindelwald glanced at him and said, "Nothing, Horace. I'm just here to see my student. It's that simple."
Dumbledore asked, "Who is your student?"
"Can't you guess?" Grindelwald grinned.
Dumbledore's face suddenly turned pale, and his slightly gentle face suddenly turned cold. "Where is Bach?"
"What time is it?"
"What did you say?"
"Oh, because depending on the time, he could be a human or a dragon now."
"What do you mean? Dragon?"
.....
.....
In the room where all requests are granted, the situation was extremely strange. Two identical people were facing each other, one standing and one sitting.
Hoffa did not know what to do at this moment. In this strange journey, he had met all kinds of enemies, but he never thought that he would meet another him one day. Not only that, he felt that something in him had been stripped away, something very important that he had neglected.
"Who are you?" Hoffa was the first to break the silence.
"I'm nothing, and I'm no one."
The other him said calmly, "But you can think of me as you."
"Are you kidding?"
"I have everything of you, your abilities, your memories, your life. Why can't I be you?"
The other him stretched out his arm and admired his palm. He said calmly, "The only difference is that I don't want to stay in Hogwarts, stay in a palm-sized place, and wait for death with a bunch of simple-minded people."
Hoffa said, "This is the reason why you turned the other students into animals, to prove that you are different?"
"It's not me, it's us. I want to confirm my place in this universe, and my place in this long food chain. "
As he spoke, he opened his arms and looked Hoffa in the eyes. "Why are we still in this school? Why do we have to repeat the cycle of mediocrity day after day? "
Hoffa did not answer. He still had not recovered from the fact that he was schizophrenic.
The other him said, "Why do we have to waste our time like this, and accept this fate where we can see the end of it?"
Hoffa still did not speak. His chest rose and fell violently.
His silence made the other him very unhappy. He grabbed Hoffa's collar and said, "Say something!"
Before he finished, he was sent flying and crashed into the garbage mountain that had been piled up for thousands of years.
Hoffa stood up and entered the animated state. His body grew taller, and he clenched his fists. He could not answer the other's question, so he could only strike first.
In less than five seconds.
The figure crawled out from the pile of junk again. It shook the wolf fang frisbee and old books on its body, moved its head, and also entered the animated state.
It became strong and tall. At the same time, its eyes were filled with incomparable hatred. The hatred was as if it wanted to devour itself.
It walked step by step towards Hoffa.
"Why waste my life? Year after year, year after year? Am I living in this world for the sake of Hogwarts? "
It stood in front of Hoffa again. "Tell me, why do we live?"
As soon as the voice fell, Hoffa punched again. His body trembled slightly. The interrogation from the soul was unavoidable.
Boom!
It was sent flying again. This time, it smashed through two old wooden cabinets and countless abandoned magic potion glass bottles.
The garbage mountain was flipped open again. The man who looked exactly like him staggered out from the pile of broken glass bottles. His body was covered in burns caused by the abandoned and dangerous magic potions. Green smoke rose from his body. It was green, purple, and red. He looked rather pathetic.
However, there was a thick sarcasm on his face. He stood in front of Hoffa again.
"You don't know, do you?"
"You don't have a goal in life, do you?"
Hoffa did not attack again. He took a step back.
The other "Hoffa" was suddenly furious. It grabbed Hoffa's head and stuck its eyes to his face. It roared, "Tell me, what have you been doing all these years?"
"I … protected this school," Hoffa stammered.
"Are you a hermit crab?"
The other party roared like a madman.
"What about our height of life?"
"Without the Hogwarts, what are you left with?"
"Am I going to be like Filch until I die?"
"Muddling along for seven years and becoming an employee of the Ministry of Magic after graduation. In the end, you die of old age filled with regret. Is this what you want? Is this what you want? "
He asked frantically. Hoffa did not answer. The emptiness in his heart made it impossible for him to face this ambitious self. He did not know how to answer these questions.
"Say something!"
Its head swelled, and its voice became like muffled thunder. Its entire body changed. Bright colors flowed on its body. Every muscle was like a huge colored granite.
Hoffa tried to push it away, but found that the other party was very strong. In terms of human transformation, the other party was far better than him.
"Since you can't answer, you can die!"
It grabbed Hoffa's neck and tightened its fingers. Layers of scales appeared on its arm. It bared its cruel razor-sharp teeth.
"Ugh … Ugh …"
Hoffa's vision began to blur. It could even hear its bones wailing.
Just as it tightened its grip, a black and white cat jumped on its face and clawed down. This claw caught the other party's eye.
It tilted its head in pain. It grabbed Hoffa with one hand and picked up the black and white cat with the other. "I hate everything related to you."
After saying that, it threw the black and white cat out. It smashed through two tall walls. Then, its chest rose up like a blower. Then, it spat out a hot blue flame. The high temperature melted the garbage mountain, forming a magma ravine.
Huo Fa struggled even more violently as he looked at the burning garbage mountain.
"Miranda …"
He grabbed the arm around his neck that was like an iron clamp, while his other hand felt around the ground. He wished that he still had his wand. If only he could conjure up a giant hammer, he might be able to beat this guy to death …
Just as the thought came to his mind, his right hand touched a handle. A hammer appeared beside his hand. He raised the hammer and smashed the head of the other him.
Clang!!
The giant hammer sent it flying more than 20 meters away.
Hoffa looked at the hammer in his hand, panting. He suddenly realized something. This was the Room of All Requests. All his requests could be fulfilled.
This gave him hope.
He threw away the hammer, looked at the fire in front of him, and said in his heart.
I need to put out the fire, I need to put out the fire, I need to put out the fire.
Suddenly, countless huge pipes emerged from the ceiling of the Room of All Requests. They spewed out a torrent of water and immediately extinguished the burning fire.
Hoffa rushed to the garbage pile on all fours. The black and white cat was not dead, but half of its fur was burned. It was shivering in the water. He flipped the black and white cat out and hugged it. He heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was another explosion in the distance.
A huge iron claw stretched out from the garbage mountain. This time, the person who looked exactly like him was no longer in human form. It had turned into a half-human, half-dragon monster. It had golden eyes, and its body was covered with sharp spikes and colorful scales like a chameleon.
Hoffa said, "Are you crazy? You even want to kill your friends?"
"Hmph, my hopeless kindness, my disgusting compassion, and my bottomless tolerance are not on me!"
After the dragon finished speaking, it disappeared into the air.
Hoffa was shocked. That was his Ghost Walk. This guy could actually use it.
He knew the horror of this ability. He also wanted to use Ghost Walk to avoid the subsequent attack. However, he was shocked that he could not use Ghost Walk. His ability was taken away by the other party.
Hoffa immediately held the black and white cat and retreated frantically. As he retreated, he chanted in his heart.
"Trap it, trap it, I want a place where I can trap it."
After ten seconds of Ghost Walk, the dragon appeared in front of Hoffa. Its huge rhinoceros-like head was close to his nose. It said coldly, "Now, who is Hoffa Bach?"
After that, it opened its mouth and bit, swearing to kill its weakness on the spot.
Hoffa roared, "Trap it!"
Boom!!
The environment of the Room of Everything changed instantly.
The towering mountain of garbage disappeared, replaced by thick iron chains and huge sabers and axes that looked like pendulums.
The floor caved in like layers of Russian nesting dolls. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
The dragon stepped into the trap. The trap spun 360 degrees, and layers of blades extended out. It was like a rotating meat grinder. Layers of iron cages intersected with each other.
Every time the trap spun, the creature would be seriously injured. However, in the blink of an eye, its injuries would recover. At the same time, its body would become bigger, more like a dragon.
Hoffa was terrified. Every time this guy was injured, it would become stronger than before? He had never met such a terrifying enemy.
"You can't trap me. Are you lying to yourself?" The huge creature trapped in layers of cages let out a deafening roar. It opened its mouth and spat out a scorching blue breath.
The breath illuminated Hoffa's face. Hoffa hugged the cat. He was terrified and kept repeating.
"Trap it, trap it, trap it!"
The shape of the dungeon changed again, and the stone doors closed one after another, tightly fitting together. With every sentence Huo Fa said, 'All Requests Granted' would add another layer of protection to the room.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
As the stone and iron doors closed, the blazing dragon's breath was blocked. It was like a sealed Pandora's box. His face that was illuminated by the dragon's breath dimmed.
Hoffa collapsed on the ground. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. After exchanging a few blows, he understood that this monster was stranger than any monster he had ever encountered before.
Moreover, just like how the dragon hated him, he also hated the dragon. He did not want to see a creature that looked exactly like him appear in this world. It would make him doubt his own existence.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a large part of the sealed dungeon protruded out. A thunderous sound came from below the dungeon. Hoffa was shaken to the ground.
Then, another bulge appeared in the dungeon, causing the entire tower to tremble slightly.
'That guy isn't dead.' Huo Fa swallowed.
He did not dare to hesitate. He hugged the black and white cat and crawled out of the Room of Everything. He did not know how long the Room of Everything's ability could trap it, but the most important thing now was to evacuate everyone in the school.
In the corridor on the eighth floor, Hoffa hugged the cat and ran.
At this moment, the sky was shining with strange colors. He did not know if he was the only one looking at the sky like this, or if everyone else was looking at the sky like this.
He rushed towards the school hall, hoping to find help. But when he arrived at the school hall, it was empty. There were only a few remnants of the Christmas tree and the mistletoe on the ceiling.
Although the people were gone, he could feel the violent magic in the air.
He followed the mana fluctuations and didn't walk far before he saw two sides confronting each other in the hallway.
On one side, there was the professor and Dumbledore. On the other side, there was Grindelwald with his arm raised.
From afar, there was Dumbledore's fierce voice. "Where is Bach?"
