The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 183 Transformed Elbows and Armpits
The number of attackers far exceeded Ryan's imagination. He felt that this could not be explained by secret infiltration. After eliminating all the impossibilities, the only possibility was that there was a traitor inside Carterobrush.

Thinking of the traitor, Ryan felt like he had forgotten something. After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes: There was something wrong with this Professor Ferdinand.

Ryan recalled that no one here was abnormal, whether it was Professor Sprout or the students, because they had been together for a long time. Only Professor Ferdinand, although he was gentle and his every move seemed normal, even his habit of touching his mustache from time to time was not much different from what he saw before the start of school. But in every move, this Professor Ferdinand always had an unnatural and deliberate feeling.

This is why Ryan felt something was wrong on the road, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, in this case, only by assuming that Ferdinand did have a problem and speculating with the greatest malice could he feel this seemingly insignificant difference.

According to conspiracy theories, this Professor Ferdinand was probably a product of someone drinking Polyjuice Potion and then switching the potion. And judging from the fact that he could easily answer the questions of the Hogwarts students in fluent English along the way, this pretender should be a wizard with a higher academic education, and since he was sent in to infiltrate the inner circle, he should be a core member of the enemy.

After screening like this, it is estimated that the only possible person is a former saint of the Chimera Society. Thinking of this, Ryan held the wand in his sleeve and slowly approached Professor Ferdinand.

Professor Ferdinand was surrounded by several students, and the professor was comforting them. Ryan walked up to Ferdinand and took advantage of the gap between several students asking questions and said, "I heard that the organization that ambushed us this time is called the Chimera Society. I wonder if you have heard of it, Professor?"

"Of course..." Professor Ferdinand's face suddenly changed when he said this. Because just as he said this, he realized that Ryan had just asked him a question in German. The real Professor Ferdinand did not speak German.

After confirming the other party's identity, Ryan was about to raise his wand to cast a Stunning Spell on the fake professor and prepare to capture him alive and interrogate him. A large sixth-grade Slytherin boy next to him saw Ryan raising his wand and suddenly grabbed Ryan's right arm and moved him to the side, shouting, "What are you going to do to the professor?"

Oh my god, how could there be such a stupid teammate at this time? If he wanted to show off, he could do it at another time. Ryan really wanted to get rid of this troublemaker now. Because of his interruption, he had already lost the initiative and things were sliding into a more troublesome place.

Sure enough, when he found that he could no longer hide, the fake Professor Ferdinand suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face and reached out to grab Alicia, the second-year Ravenclaw girl closest to him, in an attempt to take her hostage. But at this time, Hermione suddenly rushed out from the side and knocked Alicia aside, but she tripped and was caught by the fake because she was half a beat slower.

Isn't this just adding to the chaos? Ryan felt that things were completely out of his plan. Just as he was about to do something, he saw the impostor throw the wand in Hermione's hand aside. Then he threw a small ball at Professor Sprout, who had already reacted and raised his wand. The ball quickly sprayed out dark green smoke after landing.

Under the cover of smoke, the impostor knocked the ground with his wand, and a hole with a diameter of more than one meter appeared on the ground. He jumped directly into the hole holding Hermione hostage.

As soon as he jumped in, the hole began to shrink, and the others were so flustered by the smoke that they didn't notice this at all. Ryan had already shaken off the big Slytherin guy at this time, and when he saw the hole slowly closing, he jumped in without hesitation.

It was very dark at the bottom of the cave, and Ryan could only feel the wind whirring past his ears. Suddenly, he heard a sound of someone falling into the water from below.

It seems that there is a water surface below. Thinking of this, Ryan adjusted his body posture and fell towards the place where the sound just came from. ——Plop, wow. With a crash, Ryan felt that he fell into a pond. The water temperature here was very low, and he shivered involuntarily.

Just as he was about to float to the surface to start searching, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and strangled Ryan's neck. Ryan could feel that there were webbed fingers on the tips of the fingers that were strangling his neck.

This is human body modification. It seems that these crazy people from the Chimera Society actually dared to harm themselves. Their courage is not much less than that of Voldemort, the guy who even cut off his own nose.

But it was obvious that such a transformation was very conducive to fighting in the water. He quickly grabbed Ryan's hand holding the wand, and then used his other hand to push Ryan's head into the water. Ryan tried to punch him a few times, but found that he had hard and slippery fish scales on his body, and he had no power at all.

If Ryan was an ordinary wizard, he would definitely suffer a great loss, after all, when the hand holding the wand is controlled, the general wizard will lose the ability to fight, but Ryan is different from most ordinary wizards. He has his own back-up plan. At least after mastering the Zixia magic skill, he has no problem holding his breath in the water for seven or eight minutes.

So during the struggle, Ryan pretended to be short of oxygen and moved slower and slower. The impostor also relaxed his vigilance as Ryan's resistance became weaker and weaker.

Soon Ryan's body movements slowly stopped. After seeing this, the Chimera Society's traitor put his hands through Ryan's armpits and swam hard to the surface of the water, apparently trying to move him to the shore.

Ryan took this opportunity to use the Zixia magic skill, and then with the greatly increased strength of his arms, he suddenly clamped the opponent's arm under the armpit, and at the same time pulled the mechanism of the hidden blade on his wrist.

The hidden blades on both arms shot out, and then Ryan tried his best to stab the hidden blades backwards and upwards. Fortunately, he had learned martial arts before. With the help of Zixia magic, he could bend his wrists to an angle that normal people could not bend, so that the hidden blades in his hands could pierce the opponent's vital points.

The fake also sensed the danger. He tried to distance himself from Ryan, but he couldn't dodge with his two arms clamped by Ryan.

The enchanted hidden blade easily pierced through the fish scales on the impostor's body. Then, when Ryan felt the hidden blade piercing deeply into the human body, he turned his wrist and twisted it hard.

Wizards may be much stronger than Muggles in terms of individual abilities, but most wizards' bodies are as fragile as Muggles'. Although the impostor behind him used magic to change his body like Voldemort, he did not change as thoroughly as Voldemort. The internal organs protected by fish scales are still as fragile as those of ordinary people.

Soon, the fake with severe liver and spleen damage stopped moving and slowly floated to the surface of the water. Ryan followed it to see what was going on.
