Chapter 50 Devil Pepper Curry (Modified, Rewritten Twice, Typos Have Been Corrected)

After entering the gate, one can see an open stone chamber, which is a rectangular room at least 10 yards square by visual inspection. Allen looked around the room. This is a room with a distinct Indian style. The floor is made of chlorite. An obelisk stands at the entrance, small at the top and large at the bottom, with a pyramid-shaped top. The decoration in the room is rich and luxurious, and the colorful reliefs on the stone walls have faded, but the four-handed man and the wheels of the three-wheeled chariot he drives are faintly visible on the wall.

The raised arcs and miscellaneous copper craftsmanship on the murals with complicated lines have been incompletely peeled off. This room should have been carefully decorated, although now only dust remains.

Staring at the vaguely four-handed male image on the mural, Allen thought of the moon god described in the information left by Albert, but the style of this mural looks a bit weird and inconsistent, and it is probably from the native British believers. Only then will there be such a situation where a variety of cultural styles are forcibly mixed and matched.

There are three huge stone doors in this stone room - one on the left and right walls, and the third one is directly opposite the entrance. They lead to the depths of this place...

The hiss of the rain and the howl of the wind were occasionally drowned out by loud thunderclaps. The room still looks solid, at least for the most part. Even though the violent sound of the thunderstorm almost shook the ground, only a small amount of dust leaked from the cracks in the rocks of the ceiling.

However, the leftmost door in the stone room was constantly pounding and pounding. It showed signs of fragility, and seemed to vibrate slightly with every roar of thunder and every impact.

Suddenly, with a particularly violent thunderbolt, a door was knocked open at the same time, making a piercing cracking sound, and smashed into their respective doorways. Amid the flying smoke and dust, Allen saw a large group of rats behind the door. They also seemed to be frightened by the momentary collapse, and retreated back.

After a moment of sluggishness, the mice rushed out of the door opening one after another. Allen thought they must have been frightened by the thunder, and ran away in panic, and their screams echoed in the room. However, Allen soon discovered that these mice were different from ordinary mice. Their eyes were red, and there was a reddish-brown unidentified sticky liquid on their teeth. Bite indiscriminately, and at the same time as they bite hard, black sparse and sticky excrement is sprayed from their anus, which is not like the granular excrement of normal mice, and is almost mushy and liquid. Biao splashed on the floor and other mice. As they walked on the floor, they left trails of black feces, yellow urine, and red and black blood...

Allen's stomach twitched, his throat was itchy, and he overturned his previous thoughts. These mice were not frightened by the thunder, and they were probably suffering from a contagious disease, so they showed such a crazy state on a large scale .

Allen, who was in the state of the illusion spell, clenched the staff in his hand, and he slowed down his breathing and stayed there quietly until after a while, he confirmed that even if these mice made a lot of noise, There was nothing else to come out to check, so he faced the group of mice.

Following Alan's moving footsteps, the mouse, which is sensitive to sound, stopped abruptly, and raised its nose, revealing its chisel-like teeth—the disillusionment spell can hide the body, but it has no effect on sound and smell. , the mice found it.

Allen quickly looked around the room, and was relieved to see that there were no flammable or flammable tapestries in the stone room.

"Freeze in place." (The spell designed by the director in the second part of the movie version.) Allen swung his wand in a big way to cast the freezing spell. The purple light flashed on their bodies, and they were all frozen in place, only the small eyes that were gliding and gliding could still blink.

"The fire is raging." A cone-shaped scorching flame spewed out from the tip of Allen's staff,

As his blazing flames surrounded the rats that were frozen in place with their fangs and claws, and spread up along the fur, there was the smell of burnt flesh in the air, and there were sounds of skin cracking and grease being ignited and stabbed in the ears. The sound of cheering.

Allen just used the freezing spell to immobilize these guys first to prevent these fire-ridden mice from running around. Seeing the piles of ashes left on the chlorite floor after the burning, Allen frowned. He didn't want to step on the ashes of these mice, "sweep away in a whirlwind." Some dust is swirled and sucked away.

After the floor was restored to cleanliness, Allen just walked towards the broken door directly opposite the entrance. It was a long and deep corridor. Alan took his steps lightly. He walked to the end of the corridor vigilantly. There was another stone door. He used the method of entering the door before to use his wand to pry behind the door again. Alan screened He held his breath, unlike last time, this time he heard the sound of human conversation.

Allen heard a man with a thick Indian accent and a weird English speaking triumphantly: "You lose, just feed the devil pepper directly, of course the rats will not react after eating it. You have to be like me, make it spicy." Curry will work."

Immediately afterwards, an angry man with a native British accent said in a rough voice: "Since the effect is so amazing, then after these crazy mice calm down, I will clean it up for you."

"That's impossible! I won the bet, of course you go. You have to fulfill the bet and drive these crazy rats to the spiders." The man with an Indian accent refused confidently, "You British gentlemen want to Broken promise?"

"Okay, I'll go... I shouldn't bet with you." The man with a British accent said reluctantly, followed by a blunt sound, as if he kicked something down. There were rustling footsteps behind the door, but they stopped after a few rings, as if the man was still unwilling to leave.

"Howard, you coward, don't be afraid, spiders don't have that good appetite. There are so many mice here, they don't lack food, not to mention the intruders we threw in a few days ago, they may not come in a hurry to eat them, and they won't attack. Yours." The wizard with an Indian accent saw the fear of the other party and said nonchalantly, "And they are just spiders, are you afraid even if you have a magic wand? I promised your mother to take care of you, and they are not peanuts, so you won't be allergic to them." Deadly..."

"Rajesh, you just haven't been bitten by a spider!" The man with a British accent named Howard retorted, "You, a guy who dares to talk to women only after drinking, dare to call me... I knew I wouldn't go through this mess." water..."

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer to the stone door. Allen stepped back a few steps and stood against the wall. The stone door opened. There were many broken and rotten tables in the room, and some rusty iron tools were spread on the table.

The wizard with a British accent was relatively short in stature, dressed in all black, with a scooped up lid and a big nose with a small round cap on his head. He looked like a Jew, and he walked out muttering angrily. The room was closed with a stone door, and Allen glanced at the room that was about to close the door, and saw a tall and thin wizard in Indian costume standing inside, doing some reptilian skin surgery on the skin of some reptilian creature that was stretched open by the wooden frame. deal with it.

Then he made a judgment, and felt that just opening the door and going in did not directly solve the safety of the Jewish wizard, so Alan turned around and followed him quietly.

The Jewish wizard saw that the corridor was empty and there was no mouse. Although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't think much about it. After all, the light at the end of the corridor and the collapsed stones showed that the door was broken. It's too spicy, maybe she should let her mother taste it or something.

The Jewish wizard began to quicken his pace, and walked impatiently to the room where Allen had killed the mouse before.

When he walked to the broken door and saw that there was no trace of a mouse outside the door, and the ground was cleaner than before, he realized that something might be wrong.

Just when he was about to turn around and call for someone, following the immature male voice yelling out of nowhere, a 'bat spirit curse', a creepy feeling crawled all over his body, he could clearly feel it coming from the inside of his nasal cavity. At first, there were many furry things crawling out of the nasal cavity, and soon they rushed out of the nostrils.

At the same time, the Jewish wizard felt the right hand that was holding the wand being pulled violently. He was startled and angry, and tried to hold the wand that had almost been released. Can't shout out either. Then the soft little hand holding his hand seemed to explode with strength, and his little finger was broken with a "Gada".

The Jewish wizard didn't hear the sound of the wand falling to the ground, and the falling wand had already been picked up by Allen.

The Jewish wizard's eyes widened. Under his horrified gaze, more black bats turned from his boogers began to crawl towards its head. Soon, his entire face was covered by bats with flapping wings. , the Jewish wizard waved his arms indiscriminately, trying to drive them away from his face, but more and more bats covered his face, and he even began to struggle to breathe.

The spell used by Allen is called the Bat Essence Curse. The reason why he didn’t use the petrification spell and fainting is because Allen had to ask him to get information about this underground cave and about Albert from him. ——The Bat Mantra comes from "The Book of Spells", the author is Miranda Gosack, who was born in 1921. When she was born, her family was already a little poor. As the youngest of nine sisters, she found that she always It was hard to get the older sisters to listen to her. Therefore, she sometimes borrows this spell invented by herself to keep them silent for a while to give herself enough time to speak. Therefore, the "Book of Spells" contains this kind of curse that can be regarded as black magic. The content has been controversial, but Miranda Gosak points out that the inclusion of moderately aggressive spells in the textbook helps prevent students from settling disputes with more dangerous spells.

For such a place where intruders can be caught and fed to spiders at will, Allen thinks he should be more careful. In fact, if the person who caused the accident was not his eldest brother, Ravenclaw's rationality told him that he should give up this mission , directly go back to the adults to solve it - of course, if this matter is seen by the Gryffindors, they will probably think that the cowards of the Eagle Academy students have started to coward.

Taking a deep breath, Allen made up his mind and raised his wand to the upper right, and then drew an hourglass shape in the air that almost popped out, and a spell hit the Jewish wizard's chest. (Author's Note: There are some spells on the official website and surrounding areas, which give specific swinging postures.)

The wizard arched his body in pain, clenched his hands into fists, and grabbed his chest with bruised veins, exposing his hairy chest. Then, his body twitched continuously, and he collapsed on the ground. Distorted and deformed, his limbs and torso took on strange postures. Those deformed bone spurs pierced his tiny nerves and his internal organs, and the unbearable severe pain was transmitted along the nerves to his brain. The wizard's body seemed to be pierced by thousands of small knives at the same time. He wanted to scream wildly and moan, but the effect of the bat spell made him suppress all the pain in his mouth and he could only let out a low growl. vent.

Seeing the effect of this spell, Alan's head sank slightly, his brows furrowed and his lips pursed. He was eager to know the news about his brother Albert, so he used this cruel transformation torture spell in desperation, and decided to subdue him before asking to avoid wasting time, but the damage caused was a bit unexpected for him who used it for the first time .

This spell is different from Cruciatus in the Unforgivable Curse. People who are hit by the Cruciate Curse will feel piercing pain all over the body, but the spell itself will not cause physical harm, but the Cruciate pain will make the caster feel pain. Those who are hit are even more miserable. If they keep casting the spell, the people who are hit will go crazy in pain and even die. Compared with the Cruciatus Spell, although the Transfiguration Torture Curse is also a cursed black magic, its principle also has the characteristics of Transfiguration. It tortures the victim by transforming the victim, and eventually leads to its death.

The Transfiguration Torture Curse is not suitable for use in combat because the spell-casting gestures are more complicated than ordinary spells and the casting speed is slow, but it is more suitable for torture than the Cruciatus in the Unforgivable Curse. Because although the Transformation Torture Curse will bring intense pain to people, it is controllable. As long as it does not damage the bones around the opponent's mouth, it can at least ensure that the recipient can still communicate normally. The pain caused by the Transfiguration Torture Curse is due to the physical pain caused by the transfiguration effect. For wizards, it is a very convenient and curable spell. As long as it does not cause fatal damage, it will not cause death. With Ruchu and a cup of potion Bone Spirit, he can be alive and kicking the next day. The damage caused by Cruciatus is often irreparable, especially after the most crazy person, so it is planned as one of the three unforgivable curses. (Author's Note: The famous Gilderoy Lockhart stated in the second book that this transfiguration torture curse was the spell to "kill" Mrs. Norris, but Dumbledore soon discovered that Mrs. Norris did not death, but only to be petrified.)

"What are you going to do in this kind of place?" Allen temporarily stopped the transfiguration torture spell. He didn't want to waste time playing hide-and-seek with these people in this cave. He kicked the Jewish wizard who had fallen to the ground and asked directly. , "I undo the bat on your face, but if you dare to call me a magic spell, I can kill you."

The Jewish wizard who nodded repeatedly found that the bats had been dispelled. Although his physical injuries did not worsen at this time, he was still in great pain. His whole body trembled slightly, and he said clearly in pain: "This is the native believer... used to sacrifice Temple of the Hindu moon god...Please spare me, sir, I did nothing...Huh? How did you..."

It was only then that the Jewish wizard really noticed the attacker's appearance and age—if it wasn't for the pain coming from all over his body and the immature voice of the attacker who had just heard him, even if he had just experienced it personally It was also impossible to regard the eleven or twelve-year-old light-blond boy in front of him as the attacker.

Allen noticed the other person's gaze, but he kept his expression indifferent: "You guys feed people to spiders casually, why? Where did you say that the person who was fed spiders was locked up? What does he look like? "

"It wasn't me... I didn't do it! It was them... They were afraid that the Ministry of Magic would find out what they did... So those fanatics caught him and fed him to spiders..." The wizard's head was dripping with cold sweat, and he watched There was a dazed look on Alan's face, "That's an Auror, a little older than you... looks very similar to you, with light blond hair..."

"Has his wand been confiscated by you?" Allen pointed his wand at the wizard, trying to make his voice that hadn't changed a little bit colder.

"It's broken," the wizard cried when he saw Alan's frown. "It wasn't me, it was my companion who broke his wand."

Allen had planned to break the Jewish wizard's wand just now, but thought that Albert might lose his wand, so he temporarily changed to confiscating the Jewish wizard's wand, and now it is confirmed that Albert's wand was indeed destroyed He decided to give Albert the Jewish wizard's wand to see if he could cast some spells.

"How many people are there? How big and how many are the spiders?" Time was running out, and Allen only asked a few key questions.

The Jewish wizard's body was like soft noodles, with no strength at all, his head dropped to the ground, his eyes did not dare to look at Alan, who started to stare at the ground unconsciously, and fell silent for a while.

Allen snorted impatiently, moved his wand slightly, and the bone in the wizard's left leg suddenly deformed and pierced his thigh as if broken from it, and he let out a more painful scream. The Jewish wizard was terrified, and could no longer bear the pain. His legs were already bleeding, and the ground under him was already stained red in an instant. He begged weakly: "Stop, I will tell you."

"Don't play this game for me, the next time the thing that comes out of your nose will not be a bat, it will be your own cervical spine." Allen threatened after putting down his wand again. In fact, he used this Dao magic can't do such a precise operation at present.

"Don't do it! I'll tell you everything!" The Jewish wizard replied weakly and tremblingly: "There are seven of us in total, and we stay here to use the altar magic circle and the power of the moon to lift the curse on the moon gem. I didn't dare to take a closer look at the spiders, but there were only a few of them. They were pets brought by Indian wizards. They are Indian relatives of acromantula, but they are neither as big nor as powerful!"

Because of the fear and pain, the Jewish wizard's body began to tremble non-stop again, his face was pale as if covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and his clothes were already soaked in the blood gushing from his body. He was worried that Alan would torture himself again, and he could see that Alan was obviously here for that Auror, so he said everything he knew, "We locked that Auror in the spider's room, you go along Go forward through that tunnel, ignore the door in the middle and go to the one on the far right, you can find him. He should be safe for the time being, the Indian wizard I was with used to play musical instruments to attract many rats trying to eliminate the rat infestation here , let them send them to the door by themselves as food for the spiders, the spiders are not short of food, they eat very slowly..."

Allen glanced at the other party and began to turn his bloodshot eyes crazily because of the pain. The movement of waving the wand paused slightly. He raised his head and took a deep breath. His eyes seemed to be attracted by the murals on the wall, and he seemed to escape. He no longer looked at the wizard, but the movement of waving the wand in his hand did not stop: "All petrified."

The Jewish wizard's eyes widened following Allen's spell, and his deep roar became even more frightening, followed by a miserable short pant, and his broken body was bound by the spell under the effect of the spell On his body, it seemed that his body was not his at all. Almost instantly, the skin of his body was bulged and cracked by some deformed bones, blood began to ooze from under the black robe, and the places that had been tortured by the Transformation Curse were in strange shapes.

"Don't blame me, your behavior is even worse than some dark wizards, and you want to feed living people to spiders without any scruples..." Allen said this sentence in a cold voice, which was actually his own excuse, " Howard? Is that the name? If you are lucky enough, the person I am looking for is still alive, and he can cast Healing and Forgetfulness for you, and you can see your mother again."
