Justin had been following a girl from Slythrin. Jon knew this from Naughty Ghost.
As Jon had asked Naughty Ghost for help on the first day of the experiment, Naughty Ghost had been paying special attention to Hufflepuff's students during this period of time.
It was mainly to ensure the safety of these students. After all, he didn't know who would be chosen by Jon.
Until today.
After the Duel Club ended, Justin immediately found Stephen, and Stephen reported this news to Jon. Then, Jon found out that Justin hadn't been obedient recently and had been following a girl.
If it weren't for the existence of the Basilisk, Jon would have definitely reprimanded him for this behavior.
Wasn't following a girl a pervert?
But with the Basilisk as a reason, Jon let Naughty Ghost find out who Justin had been following recently.
A first-year student from Slythrin. She seemed to be a little girl from the Gringlass Family. Jon didn't have any impression of her before.
But Naughty Ghost was very clear about this family.
He told Jon about the background of this girl named Astoria Gringlass, as well as some stories about the Gringlass Family. Jon then found out that this girl actually had the legendary Blood Curse on her.
Something like the Blood Curse would make people feel uncomfortable even if it appeared on a Slythrin student.
This kind of magic was really too evil. If Jon didn't remember wrongly, Voldemort's snake was also a victim of the Blood Curse.
But he didn't know what the snake's current state was. Could it still recover its human form?
If Voldemort could use the snake's voice to command his snake, perhaps the human soul inside would still have a chance to gain the upper hand?
Jon remembered that he seemed to have heard a story about this snake called Nagini from Grindelwald. But that story was really boring. It was nothing more than a girl who was under the Blood Curse turning into a Beastman. Later on, she followed Grindelwald and participated in that war.
But when he heard Grindelwald's words, Jon was absent-minded and didn't try to remember what he said.
However, Chown had some understanding of the vicious Black Magic of the Blood Curse.
In short, other people's happiness and sorrow had nothing to do with him. He didn't have extra energy to care about a little girl who was cursed by a blood curse. Moreover, he didn't know that person.
Does the Gringlass Family have any dealings with my family?
Even if there was, it had nothing to do with Jon.
"I heard the door being opened, but the boy you saw is still quite a distance away from the door … He is now walking in that direction."
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question. The pipes in the Hogwarts are basically all connected. There are no random exits. How did the snake monster come out?"
"To be honest, the Basilisk is not as big as you think."
Naughty Ghost explained to Jon, "It is a magical beast with a very long lifespan. The only problem is that it hasn't absorbed enough nutrients for it to grow.
So its size is not particularly big — of course, it is still very big compared to humans.
But the pipes in the Hogwarts have a certain amount of magic capacity when they were first built. You have to know that those pipes themselves don't just exist to transport water. They are also a kind of defense facility in the Hogwarts.
At the very beginning, these pipes were deliberately designed to make it convenient for the Basilisk to freely appear in every part of the castle. In short, this place was designed according to the standards of a battlefield. But now that there is no corresponding war, these pipes have naturally become a channel for the Basilisk to reach any corner of the Hogwarts. "
It was quite sad to say that.
But now, Justin was even sadder.
He picked up his book and walked forward cautiously. At the same time, he looked around vigilantly. His wand was in his sleeve. He could pull it out at any time.
He began to hear a strange sound coming from not far away.
What was even rarer was that Filch didn't appear in the castle tonight, unlike his usual self.
"Right now, he's concentrating on sensing the changes brought about by magic. I'm willing to bet that with his persistent efforts, if all goes well, he can become an official wizard in two years. The magic correspondence courses he's been taking these past few years were not for nothing."
"But he doesn't have a wand."
As Jon spoke, he was also vigilant. He observed the movements below at all times. Not far behind him, the tentacles of the Magic Net had reached here. They were descending vertically according to Jon's instructions so that they could be ready at any time.
As soon as the Basilisk's petrification magic was activated, the Magic Net would immediately extend its tentacles into Justin's body and suck out his soul.
This naturally would not cause any harm, just like when Helga pulled Jon's soul out of his body. The soul leaving the body would only change the life of a living person. A petrified person was like a stone. Even if the soul left the body, the body would not be affected in any way.
It was as strange as time being frozen.
Just as Jon was fully prepared, Justin heard the sound clearly.
It was like the sound of leather rubbing against the floor, and there was also the sound of water. In short, it was not a safe signal.
He closed his eyes.
Originally, when he came here, he should have worn a pair of glasses. However, he was born not short-sighted. Wearing glasses would only make his eyes feel uncomfortable. In such a dim environment, glasses were not good for his timely reaction.
Now, he could only pin his hopes on the ghost protecting him. He hoped that his reaction was fast enough to avoid looking into the Basilisk's eyes before he was attacked.
If he was petrified.
Then he would be petrified.
He believed what Stephen told him. Even if something happened to him, the school would save him. There was also another layer of guarantee, which was that Senior Smith promised to give him a very strange experience.
He was afraid, but he was also looking forward to it.
How many chances did a person have to have such a strange experience in their life?
He had already become a sorcerer from an ordinary human. Now, he felt that he deserved to live a better life.
Thus, the moment he heard the ghost's voice, he opened his eyes.
He saw the Basilisk.
