It was an ordinary but powerful kick that landed right on the lock core, easily separating it from the wall. He fell to the ground, stirring up a circle of weak wind and waves.
There was no ordinary furniture in the room, only various electronic devices that looked like electronic products in the secular world, which were placed neatly and orderly.
It looks neither like a cabin nor a guest room in a castle, but more like a top laboratory in a university.
"What are these things?"
The things in this room were not recognized by the knowledgeable Moody. He had never seen those strange crystal plates, lenses, and square iron boxes in the room.
But Hu Xiuwu and Hermione, who grew up in a normal society, guessed roughly. Hermione frowned and said uncertainly: "These should be electronic devices from the Muggle world."
Moody said, "I remember that you can't use Muggle-made things in Hogwarts?"
Did he leave school for too long and Dumbledore updated the Hogwarts wards? Did he also want a WLAN signal?
Hermione explained: "It seems that Behemoth's things are half alchemical and half electronic products, so they are not affected by the Hogwarts barrier. Behemoth also gave Lingyu and Tianshi a universal translator."
Hu Xiuwu nodded in agreement, proving that it was true.
Moody used his short stick to poke the equipment on the tripod, which was still working and had lights on. "What are these things used for?"
Hermione shook her head in bewilderment. She entered Hogwarts at the age of eleven. Strictly speaking, she only had an elementary school education. As she had stayed in Hogwarts for so many years, she could recognize simple computers and mobile phones, but she had never seen other professional equipment.
Walking around the instruments that she didn't quite understand, Hermione saw an opened golden egg placed in a transparent container.
Although the shell of the golden egg cracked like a petal, it did not make the same harsh sound as the golden egg in Harry's hand. Hermione guessed the secret of the golden egg and thought happily:
It turns out that the secret of the golden egg can only be revealed when it is placed in water! Great, I will tell Harry when I get back, and then I will know the content of the second challenge of the Goblet of Fire.
Hu Xiuwu also saw the golden egg, and he also understood the secret of how to obtain the golden egg, but his mind was not entirely on this. Just because Hermione did not recognize the instruments in the room did not mean that Hu Xiuwu did not recognize them.
Although Hu Xiuwu had never seen some of the instruments, he could guess roughly what they were from the units and data displayed on the screens.
Gyrotheodolite, magnetometer, scanner, ultrasonic sensor...
A complete set of surveying instruments!
Chapter 260 Sneak Attack
In this room, apart from the computers used for calculation, research and data summary, the rest are all surveying tools used in civil engineering. From this point of view, Behemoth came to Hogwarts with ulterior motives.
Their purpose of participating in the Goblet of Fire this time is not just to interfere in the internal affairs of the European continent and declare to strengthen their leadership position, but also has a more hidden purpose.
They are trying to understand the secrets of Hogwarts.
The formation that can silently transform multiple innate extraordinary people into wizards at once.
As long as they can get the formation diagram, they can learn from its essence, improve the SP biological potion, or use Behemoth's financial resources to create a small magic society and train Behemoth's own wizards.
But Hogwarts not only has a barrier that interferes with electrical appliances, it also has Dumbledore, who is known as the number one man in the West, although Behemoth has never valued personal bravery.
No matter how strong he is, we can't defeat him even if all of us attack him together.
But with the 'hero' Sean not following orders, stealing the most core secrets of Hogwarts under Dumbledore's nose, he still felt a little uneasy.
They dared to hide in the cabin, relying on the fact that Dumbledore would not carefully check the passengers' vehicles and taking advantage of the fact that the old man did not understand modern technology. They hid the fluctuations of modern technology under the aura of the magic ship and quietly conducted a comprehensive survey of Hogwarts.
I didn't dare to go to the principal's office to steal the design drawings of Hogwarts, but the huge Hogwarts was right there. As long as I could get complete data, I could still reverse the internal formation diagram of Hogwarts.
Although he didn't dare to confront Dumbledore head-on, Behemoth had the courage to do things behind the scenes, and it was a big one.
"Xiugo, did you find anything?"
Seeing Hu Xiuwu concentrating on fiddling with the computer, Hermione thought that Hu Xiuwu had cracked the computer password.
Westerners value freedom, and people of the same generation and who are familiar with each other usually only call each other by their names. Hermione now also calls Hu Xiuwu affectionately.
Hu Xiuwu came back to his senses: "No, although I have learned a little programming, the Behemoth program is too complicated for me. I will go in."
“I don’t really understand these instruments.”
Hu Xiuwu rubbed his fingers and lied to Hermione and Moody, not revealing his true thoughts. Although he had not been to the laboratory very often, he also knew a common sense.
All laboratories are equipped with surveillance cameras. It is very troublesome to make a surveillance probe that can be used in Hogwarts. The refining of most magical instruments requires a long refining process and cannot be produced on a factory assembly line.
I didn't know that Behemoth was doing such a big thing behind the scenes, and Hu Xiuwu really ignored it.
But now looking at the magic weapons in this room, you can tell that Behemoth has invested a considerable amount of resources this time. The investment in this project is not small, and it does not need a magic weapon monitor at all.
The camera was hard to find, but the host and hard drive were right in front of it. Hu Xiuwu sat in front of the computer and tried to crack the computer's firewall.
Although Hu Xiuwu studied programming in college, he was not interested in it, so his hacking skills were not top-notch. He could only bully ordinary people with his superior computing power, but compared with the researchers of Behemoth, he was simply a layman.
But he didn't expect to be able to break through Behemoth's firewall. What he wanted was to trigger Behemoth's protective measures and deceive the firewall into thinking that it had been breached, thus triggering the final measure of mutual destruction.
He tricked the firewall, set fire to his own house, burned data, and formatted and erased the hard drive. This dirty trick was taught to him by Er Zhuang.
Thinking of Er Zhuang, Hu Xiuwu felt a little regretful. If he could contact Er Zhuang, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
If you can use a chicken to lay eggs, that's fine.
Moody walked around the room again and searched it carefully with his magic eye, but still found nothing, so he gave up:
"Let's go to the next room."
Hermione and Hu Xiuwu pushed open the door and walked out talking and laughing, followed by Moody.
"Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra!"
The half-open door was suddenly pushed open by a strange man. There was a layer of spiritual light around the man. It seemed that this layer of spiritual light blocked the vision of the magic eye, so Moody did not notice that there was someone on the third floor!
Without saying a word as soon as they met, he struck first like a seasoned killer, and at once he struck three deadly Avada Kedavra.
Three vicious and deadly green lights spurted out from his magic wand, carrying his cold and cruel murderous intent, like ominous deadly poison arrows, shooting towards the hearts of Hu Xiuwu and the other two.
Avada Kedavra, one of the three unforgivable curses.
It is famous in the Western world and specializes in attacking people's souls. Once hit by it, all three souls will be injured and even gods from heaven cannot save them.
Over the past thousand years, the only person who survived the Avada Kedavra curse was Harry Potter.
So after watching the green light sink into the chests of the three people,
The assassin was extremely excited, the aura on his body dissipated, and like a venomous snake, he kept sticking out his tongue, licking the corners of his mouth, and laughing wildly:
"Moody! You didn't expect me to be alive? You finally died in my hands!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be alive, Barty Crouch Jr."
Barty Crouch Jr.'s laughter came to an abrupt end.
The sword light suddenly appeared, like thunder, shining out, like the breeze, arriving in an instant.
"Fuck!"
In the blink of an eye, a swordsman with a sharp blade in hand and a frosty face appeared in front of Barty Crouch Jr.
Cursing, Barty Crouch Jr. kept using Avada Kedavra.
Dense dark green beams of light pushed over like a wall, but when Barty Crouch Jr. raised his hand, he had already exposed the direction of the attack. The sword light left a trail and he nimbly dodged several Avada Kedavra.
Although he had never come across the Avada Kedavra curse before, Hu Xiuwu felt that it was similar to the air blowing practiced by a certain community in the City of Four-Nine, both of which directly struck people's souls.
The only difference is that one is a sharp blade wound that directly harms the soul, while the other is a blunt weapon wound that blasts the soul out of the body, but both have the same disadvantages.
If you can't hit the person, everything is in vain!
The sword light in the pupil was getting closer and closer, and even the person holding the sword in the sword light, Barty Crouch Jr., could vaguely see it, and he already felt a faint phantom pain like needles on his skin.
Before the sword arrived, he had already felt the sharpness of the sword energy.
Barty Crouch Jr. subconsciously wanted to use Apparition to leave here, but the next second he remembered that he was still on the Hogwarts campus and could not use Apparition.
Hu Xiuwu was less than five steps away from him. Even though this place was not in Hogwarts, Hu Xiuwu would never let him use any spells.
In the closed cabin, a dragon seemed to flash by, leaving only the dragon's roar lingering in the air.
Sky-high dragon flashes.
The sword swept across, and the wand in Barty Crouch Jr.'s hand broke into two pieces. With the little girl present, Hu Xiuwu didn't want to make the scene too bloody.
Without the wand, Barty Crouch Jr. was not able to cast spells smoothly. With his weak physique, he was no match for Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Xiuwu swung out with his palm, using only 10% of his strength, and the arms of Barty Crouch Jr., who subconsciously blocked his body, were broken. After realizing that he had used too much strength, Hu Xiuwu converted his palm power into soft force and slapped Barty Crouch Jr. away, avoiding the consequence of his chest being pierced by Hu Xiuwu.
"My friend, although you have escaped Professor Moody's magic eye, your breathing is too heavy. You are still not good enough in holding your breath and breathing."
“Oh, by the way, you don’t teach this.”
Just now, when Moody said he wanted to check the next room, Hermione wanted to go out, but Hu Xiuwu grabbed her. Hu Xiuwu heard heavy and nervous breathing at the door of a room outside.
But the strange thing is that although Moody's magic eye did not see anyone behind the house, fortunately he was a suspicious person. Since Hu Xiuwu said that there might be people hiding in other rooms, there would be no harm in giving it a try.
He then used a Transfiguration spell to transform the chairs in the room into the shapes of three people, pretended to be normal, and walked out.
Unexpectedly, I actually caught a big fish.
Moody dragged his artificial leg to the side of Barty Crouch Jr., who was lying on the ground, and said condescendingly:
"Barty Crouch Jr., I remember you dying and how you escaped from Azkaban."
Chapter 261 Accident
Enduring the pain of broken arms, Barty Crouch Jr. struggled to get up from the ground, leaning against the wall with his arms drooping.
Although the pain was unbearable, Barty Crouch Jr. still maintained a sneer on his face, with an arrogant look, and maintained his aristocratic demeanor and arrogance.
Hermione came up to Moody and raised her wand cautiously, aiming it at little Barty: "Professor, do you know him?"
Moody nodded. "Barty Crouch Jr., former Death Eater,"
Barty Crouch Jr. shouted back: "I am still a Death Eater. I am not a coward like Karkaroff. I have never betrayed Lord Voldemort!"
Ignoring Little Barty's call, Moody continued to introduce Little Barty's origins to Hermione and Hu Xiuwu:
"He once teamed up with Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, and Rabastan Lestrange to use the Cruciatus Curse to murder the Aurors Longbottom and his wife, who were both from the Ministry of Magic at the time."
"He was later betrayed by Igor Karkaroff, who was eager to escape the crime, and was sent to Azkaban by his biological father, Barty Crouch of the Ministry of Magic."
A trace of pity appeared on Hermione's face: Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom? Those are not Neville's parents...
After briefly explaining Barty Crouch's first half of life, Moody paused, his magic eyes moving to examine Barty Crouch, who was sweating profusely on his forehead and still glaring back at him viciously:
"As I recall, he was declared dead in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic more than a decade ago. I didn't expect him to appear here."
