Chapter 109 Head-to-head confrontation
"I wanted to remind him." Ron squatted beside Lockhart, pulled out his wand and held it in front of everyone, "This is a bad wand."
As early as when Lockhart raised his wand, Ron noticed the tape wrapped around it. He wanted to kindly remind him, but who knew...
Hermione patted his shoulder and was about to praise him for his good work. Suddenly, the ground shook and the rocks on the roof began to fall. Harry and Draco quickly protected Aphrodite.
"Hermione, Ron! Run!"
The huge rock fell to the ground, just blocking Afro and the others from Ron and Hermione.
The earthquake lasted for a few minutes and then stopped, as if nothing had happened.
"Hermione, Ron. Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Two strong voices came from behind the stone. Afro and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, but were stumped by the situation before them.
"What now?" Ron shouted at them again.
Harry and Draco argued for a long time about whether to wait for Ron. Finally, under Avro's physical adjustment, the two reached an agreement, leaving Ron and Hermione to clean up the fallen rocks, and they went to find the Chamber of Secrets.
They held up their wands and carefully illuminated the path beneath their feet. The faint light cast their figures on the wall, leaving behind terrifying and distorted shadows.
The wet ground snapped under their feet, and Draco accidentally stepped on a small animal bone. The sound of wood breaking attracted the attention of Avro and Harry.
"Be careful." Afro lowered his wand and shone it on the bones of small animals scattered all over the ground. "No matter what you encounter, close your eyes and run!"
Draco and Harry nodded and surrounded Avro on both sides, protecting the only girl attentively.
The three men turned a corner of the tunnel and saw a huge wheel-shaped object attached to the wall at the end of the tunnel.
"What is that?" Draco looked at Afro in confusion. Afro shook her head and wanted to go forward to take a closer look, but was held back by two hands.
"I'll go." Harry pushed Aphrodite to Draco's side, and looked at Draco meaningfully with his blue-green eyes, indicating that he should protect her.
The fluorescent wand swung across the dark space, and a green, disgusting snake skin clung to the ground.
Harry, who was disgusted, tried hard to restrain himself from looking at it. After struggling to get past the snake skin, Harry finally saw the pattern on the stone wheel clearly.
Harry's heart was beating fast for some reason. He stared at the wheel with the two little snakes entangled in front of him, at a loss as to what to do.
His sweaty hand gently touched the emerald eyes, and the cold touch made Harry's heart tremble.
He cleared his dry throat and uttered those strange words in a low and hoarse voice.
"Turn on."
The wall split in the middle, and the two snakes separated with it. The wall slid smoothly to the sides like an elevator door opening and disappeared.
There was a dim candlelight in the wide stone chamber. Many small snakes were carved on the towering stone pillars. A girl wearing Slytherin robes stood in the middle of the stone chamber, and next to her stood a tall and handsome boy wearing the same robes.
"You came."
The two people's eyes passed over Harry standing at the door and fell on Afro who was in the dark.
"Liv."
Afro, who hadn't heard this name for a long time, felt both familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had heard someone else's name.
Draco and Harry's expressions froze for a few seconds, and no one noticed that Avro walked in alone.
"Don't act like we know each other very well." Afro's expression didn't seem to change, but in fact he kept poking at 23's little window in his heart.
"2333, hurry up! Go to the link! I want to buy props!"
In the first real head-on confrontation, 23 also seemed flustered. It turned on all the system defense systems that could be turned on and adjusted the host's maximum value to the highest limit.
And according to what Afulo said, all the props were prepared.
"Xiao Afu, everything is ready! Now implement the first step of the plan! Teach it to do it again!" Although 23 can't go out to help, he is still very professional in the atmosphere group!
Draco and Harry came to their senses and ran a few steps quickly, following Afro at a distance of two steps like two loyal knights.
Parkinson didn't seem to notice Draco, her attention was all on the blonde girl.
"They came to you? Do they look down on me? Or do they overestimate you?" The villain system controlled "Tom" to speak sarcastically, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Afro's chin and lifted it up. His red eyes met his clear eyes.
The girl's clean and clear eyes seem to be able to see into people's hearts.
When Draco saw a boy who looked like a senior student strangling Avro, he raised his wand and ran forward impulsively.
"Tom" ignored him completely and waved his hand, and everything stopped.
Afro gave him a weird smile and tilted her head to save her little chin.
"Then you are not an AI in fake skin."
There was a laugh from the other side, and Tom leaned down slightly and stared at Afro. He smiled, with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"You're bound to lose!" Afro turned his wrist with confidence, and the palm of his hand where the props should have appeared was empty.
Afro's smile froze on her face. She turned her wrist several times, but the props did not appear, and even the system in her mind stopped responding.
"You and your friends all lose."
Tom calmly looked at the flustered Afro, and casually glanced at Draco and Harry who were standing still. He stretched out his hand and pinched Afro's neck, gradually increasing his strength.
The air in her chest became thinner and thinner, and double vision began to appear in front of her eyes. The instinct for survival made Afro slap the big hand clasped on her neck.
"I once gave you the opportunity to follow me and help reshape the rules, but you chose to rebel."
"That time...it was you..."
Afro listened to the words of the villain system and recalled the night in the Duel Club when she was led to the Forbidden Forest by Parkinson and watched him pluck chicken feathers for half an hour.
Tom pinched Afro's neck and moved closer, his tall nose almost touching her face, "Now I just want you to watch!"
As the oxygen became less and less, Afro's consciousness became more and more scattered. Different faces appeared in front of her, including relatives and friends from her previous life, as well as her parents and friends from this life...
As "Tom" exerted force, the girl's feet slowly left the ground.
The second before Afulo's consciousness was about to fade away.
A familiar voice seemed to have traveled through time and fell into her ears like the sound of nature.
"Wake up! Afro!"
