Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 181: The Basilisk is Captured Successfully

October 31st happened to be a Saturday, and if nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Fu would have to take action. Sainz spent most of the day in the dormitory staring at the Marauder's Map.

I originally wanted to remind my roommates to be careful, but I couldn't find a legitimate reason, so I could only pay more attention to their whereabouts on the map.

Fortunately, they stayed outdoors most of the time during the day, with Adam staying with Katie Bell and Ben circling the Black Lake.

Ginny Weasley's trajectory during the day was a bit confusing.

He came out of the Gryffindor common room late in the morning, wandered around the second floor for a while, went out of the castle again, went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and finally disappeared from the Marauder's Map. Sainz guessed that he probably went to the vicinity of Hagrid's Hut.

Sure enough, a while later Jerry came to report that he saw Ginny outside Hagrid's hut, but she didn't do anything unusual. She just stood in Hagrid's vegetable patch for a while, apparently checking the pumpkin vines that had been picked.

After Hagrid came out, she chatted happily with Hagrid for a while and then left. Later, she walked back to the castle, stopping and starting. She did not stay in the hall during lunch time and went straight back to the lounge.

Maybe she took a nap or ate something in the dormitory. In the afternoon, she came out of the eighth floor and went into the women's bathroom on the second floor. She stayed there until dark.

Sainz was shocked, it seemed that he really had to take action.

He came out of the dormitory and went straight upstairs. When he passed the lobby, he smelled the sweet smell of pumpkin pie. The dinner was already being prepared in the auditorium.

Professor Flitwick's shrill cheers could be heard through the side door. "Very good, Weasley, just carve these big pumpkins into beautiful shapes, oh... very beautiful levitation spell, Miss Clearwater!"

Sai had already eaten in advance and went to the corridor on the second floor in stealth, but did not see any water on the ground.

"Tom, check the corridor on the third floor. Is there any water there?"

…………

"You are amazing. There is water in the corridor on the third floor, and it is now flowing out from under the bathroom door."

It looks like Moaning Myrtle has indeed changed places tonight.

Speaking of Moaning Myrtle, Sainz felt a headache again. In his memory, she seemed to often lose her temper in the bathroom and make water everywhere.

At the beginning of school, someone thought that everyone was a ghost and other ghosts could not touch any objects, so how could Myrtle turn on the faucet or splash the water in the toilet.

He thought he had remembered it wrongly, and believed that Myrtle was always the one who took the blame for others and that it was actually someone else who spilled the water. However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

Once he saw water seeping out from under the door of the women's bathroom on the second floor again. He asked Tom, who had been watching here, whether he had seen anyone go in. Tom said firmly that he had not seen anyone go in.

Sai couldn't suppress his curiosity any more, so he waited outside the door for a long time. After making sure that no one was using the toilet inside, he pushed the door open with shame.

After entering, I found that there was indeed only a ghost sulking by the toilet, and no one else.

As a boy, he was bound to be ridiculed and mocked when he entered the women's restroom. He deserved it.

These are all fine. The key situation is that after Myrtle mocked him, she suddenly jumped up and dived into the toilet. It was as if she had thrown a stone into the toilet, and the surrounding floor was wet with splashes of water.

Sainz could feel the question mark slowly rising on his forehead at that time.

"?"

Moaning Myrtle can actually touch physical matter. Although this ability may not be strong, she can really touch physical matter!

This isn't spooky at all!

Great, another Hogwarts Mystery has been successfully added!

What makes the Gold Digger special compared to other ghosts?

The most special thing is that she was killed by a basilisk!

Could it be that the basilisk's gaze has such a special function? !

He shook his head to get rid of the question mark on his forehead and focused his attention on what was in front of him.

"Tom, Jerry, I'll be leaving it to you two for a while."

"Don't worry?"

"Leave it to us!"

"Okay, let's meet this guy together."

Time passed quietly and it was past seven o'clock. On the Marauder's Map, Harry and the other two were seen heading towards the dungeon classroom, presumably to attend the ghost party.

Suddenly, Ginny, who had been quietly staying in the bathroom on the second floor, suddenly disappeared from the Marauder's Map!

"coming!

Tom, go call Jerry, and everyone come to the second floor. Each of you will go in one direction and guard one end of the corridor."

"Roger that!"

After arranging the two people, Sainz sneaked to the corner of a staircase leading to the third floor and stared at the live map.

About twenty minutes later, Ginny Weasley suddenly appeared in the girls' bathroom on the second floor again.

Sure enough, no other name appeared on the Marauder's Map.

The next moment, Jerry said excitedly, "Sainth, it's out. What a big snake! There's a big snake following the little witch. It's probably about 17 or 18 meters long and about 30 centimeters in diameter. It's in the corridor, just coming out of the bathroom!"

After hearing this, Sainz understood what was going on, but he was still a little excited. "Jerry, ignore the kid. Keep an eye on the snake and see where it goes."

"I'll go check it out... to the other side."

"It went to the other side. All right, keep me updated on its movements and be ready to hunt it down!"

"...Hey...it's coming back again, and now it's heading towards you, with the little witch following behind..."

"That's great. It saves me from having to chase it. I can just trap it and put it in a cage!"

Sainz had already set up the pre-deformed titanium alloy cabinet in front of him like a mousetrap, with his entire body buried behind the thick titanium alloy plate to ensure that he could not look the basilisk in the eye.

To be on the safe side, he also wore a pair of opaque glasses on his eyes. After putting them on, he only had a narrow field of vision to the sides and under his feet through the gaps around the lenses.

"Here it comes, Sainz, its head has entered the box you ambushed, haha... you are too mean... the box has become exactly the same as the corridor. If it were me, I would have been caught in the trap too!"

Hearing Jerry say that the basilisk's head had entered the box, Sainz no longer hesitated and immediately pulled in the net to prevent it from swimming back after hitting the bottom.

The large titanium alloy box that was open like a city gate suddenly shrank. Before the basilisk could react, nearly a cubic meter of titanium alloy was tightly wrapped around its head.

"I got it!" Jerry said excitedly.

Sainz jumped out and saw that, just as the pre-planned plan had shown, the basilisk's head was completely sealed with titanium alloy, without eyes and fangs. The so-called level 5X magical creature was nothing more than a loach with its head clamped.

At this time, Sai only needs to think about it, and the basilisk's head will immediately be pierced into a sieve by the sharp spikes that suddenly extend from it, or squeezed into a meat paste by the suddenly contracted titanium!

It's that easy to plan ahead and catch a big snake!

After Sainz came out, he did not stop. In order to prevent the basilisk from moving around and hurting Ginny who was following behind it after its head was locked, he conjured a long titanium alloy shaft and multiple chains to lock the basilisk's body while sealing its head with metal.

Looking at it at this time, it was just a sausage on a skewer, helplessly placed in the corridor, twisting vigorously.

Yes, it is indeed much larger than described in the original trajectory, but it does not reach the size shown in the "movies".

It's neither more than twenty feet nor more than twenty meters, but somewhere in between.

He waved his hand and put the basilisk away.

What should Ginny do?
