Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 158 The first victim!
In Hagrid's Hut, Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting on the sofa.

This was not the first time they came to this place. Now they were just like at home in Hagrid's hut. For these little guys, this place felt more like 'home' than their dormitory.

"Did you notice Professor Su's expression just now? He was not surprised at all that the chickens in the chicken coop were killed." Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron.

"So, Hermione, you don't think that Professor Su killed those chickens?" Harry was stunned by Hermione's words.

"Why not? Remember Hagrid once said that he wanted to move the chicken coop to a new location because Professor Su thought the chickens were too noisy." Hermione said seriously.

"Killing all the chickens because they are too noisy, what kind of logic is that?" Harry was shocked. "I don't think Professor Su would do such a thing. Besides, even if he did it, he only killed the roosters. There was no need to shake the egg yolks."

"It's just a guess." Hermione tilted her head. "I just thought Professor Su's expression was a little strange."

"Maybe Professor Su really didn't do this, but he is also closely related to it." At this time, Ron spoke.

Hearing this, Harry and Hermione looked at Ron curiously.

"Have you forgotten that weird little raccoon? It might be the murderer." Ron proposed a possibility.

But this made Harry frown. "Ron, how can you say that? Rocket is a very good guy. I have been helping Professor Su prepare lessons during this period of time. He has been helping me all the time."

"You can't tell what's hidden deep inside a person by looking at his face. Don't forget, it's not an Animagus. It's a real freak." Ron said casually.

Just then, the door of the house opened and Hagrid's huge figure walked in.

"Hagrid." Harry and the other two stood up quickly.

"Oh hi, I'd love to entertain you, but as you can probably tell, I still have a lot to do, so you can sit here for a while until I finish solving the problem with the chicken coop," Hagrid said.

"We can help you with that."

Harry said quickly, then he looked behind Hagrid curiously.

"Where's Professor Su?"

"Su, he said he suddenly remembered something very important and wanted to have a good talk with Rocket, so he left first." Hagrid explained casually.

But his words seemed to confirm Ron's guess, and he turned his head sharply to look at Harry and Hermione.

"See, I was right, this matter is indeed related to that little raccoon!"

"No Ron, it's just a guess, you don't have any evidence." Hermione shrugged her shoulders and Harry nodded. "Rocket would never do that."

Ron looked at Hermione with wide eyes. "Hey, you were the first one to suspect Sue."

Only Hagrid looked strangely at the three people who were caught in the quarrel, not knowing what they were talking about.

On the other side, Suze rushed back to his staff lounge without stopping, and saw Rocket had already gotten up early, and was fiddling with his tablet computer.

Rocket turned his head when he heard Suze open the door.

"How was your first class?"

"Not bad." Su Ze responded, then he threw the book in his hand directly onto the table and quickly came to Rocket Raccoon.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Noticing that Su Ze's face looked a little bad, Rocket Raccoon stopped and asked.

"Something did happen." Su Ze sighed, rubbing his brow, and continued, "A monster ran out, and I just had a face-to-face encounter with it in the corridor."

Hearing this, Rocket Raccoon was not afraid at all, but instead smiled with excitement.

"Not bad, we found the guy who threatens this world so quickly. I thought it would take several months to investigate the cause of the fire."

"what?"

Su Ze was stunned when he heard this. It took him three seconds to realize that Rocket Raccoon had misunderstood, so he waved his hands and began to explain.

"No, no, no. The threat I'm talking about isn't the unknown energy, but the threat that already exists here. There's a snake monster sealed in this castle, and now it's been released. That thing is extremely threatening, and we have to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."

"The original threat?" Rocket Raccoon blinked.

"This world is a novel, remember? The threat in this part of the plot is the snake monster. But I didn't expect it to be released so soon. It should be the influence of the butterfly effect or something else." Su Ze sat down on the bed.

"It's just a snake monster. Although I haven't read the novel, as a children's book, that creature shouldn't be very threatening." Rocket Raccoon smacked his lips.

"It would be great if that's the case." Su Ze rolled his eyes. "The basilisk's poison is very strong, and anyone who touches it will die. Moreover, it is so huge that ordinary magic can't do any damage to it. That's not all. The most powerful thing about that thing is its eyes." Su Ze quickly explained the origin and ability of the basilisk to Rocket Raccoon, which made Rocket Raccoon's face become worse and worse.

Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but open his mouth wide as he listened to Su Ze's description of the basilisk's various terrifying abilities as if it were an Arabian Nights story.

"You mean, there is a terrifying giant snake in this castle that will kill anyone it sees, and this snake is controlled by some evil spirit and wants to kill all creatures that don't have wizard blood?"

"Hmm." Su Ze raised his eyebrows.

Rocket Raccoon cursed, jumped up, and stood on the bed. "Is old man Dumbledore crazy? Such a threatening monster is right under his nose and he didn't take any precautions!?"

"In fact, Dumbledore didn't know about the existence of the basilisk. Hogwarts Castle is full of things, and many places are forbidden. No one can fully explore the castle, including Dumbledore. Moreover, the basilisk had been locked in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Su Ze sighed and said seriously, "That is a secret room set up by one of the founders of Hogwarts. It is the kind that ordinary people can't find at all."

"Then what should we do? Wait for death? No, wait."

Rocket Raccoon said, then suddenly thought of something and continued.

"You said before that this is a plot that happened in the novel, so we just need to kill it according to the original novel."

"That's the problem. The basilisk was killed by Harry in the end, but 90% of his killing was due to luck. Apart from that, the Sword of Gryffindor and Dumbledore's Phoenix are all indispensable elements." Su Ze was a little helpless.

"Then what should we do? Let's try whether you can withstand the gaze of that snake after you transform into Thanos?" Rocket Raccoon glanced at Su Ze.

"Gambling with my life is not my style." Su Ze shook his head. Although he felt that he had a high probability of withstanding the glare of the Basilisk by transforming into Thanos, he didn't dare to try it lightly without being 100% sure.

If his boat capsizes in the ditch, he won't have anywhere to cry.

After a moment of silence, Su Ze continued, "The only creature known to be immune to the basilisk's gaze is the Phoenix, and in the entire wizarding world, only Dumbledore can control that creature. I just asked Hagrid when Dumbledore would be back, and he said he didn't know either."

"I think we should tell the other professors about this, otherwise it will be too late when something really happens." Rocket Raccoon thought for a while and spoke.

"I thought so too. If this gets out of hand, Hogwarts will be closed down." Suze stood up and turned to look at Rocket Raccoon. "I came back to tell you this news in advance. The basilisk's target is Muggles. We are no different from sitting ducks."

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just a little raccoon." Rocket shuddered.

"It's true that you are a little raccoon, but in this universe, you are no different from an Animagus or a cursed person. God knows if the basilisk will come to your door. I felt a deep malice when I was in the corridor today."

At this point, Su Ze also waved his hand. "I'm going to find Professor McGonagall now. You stay here and don't run around. There are no pipes near the staff lounge, so that thing shouldn't be able to get in."

At this moment, Rocket Raccoon's ears suddenly moved slightly.

Then it suddenly called out to Su Ze who was about to go out.

"Wait a minute! Did you hear anything?"

Su Ze immediately stopped moving when he heard that. He kept walking without moving, holding his breath and listening.

Sure enough, a slight commotion mixed with screams came into Su Ze's ears.

Su Ze and Rocket Raccoon looked at each other quickly, and the expressions of both of them changed suddenly.

"It's broken, something happened!"

Without any hesitation, Su Ze opened the door and rushed out quickly. Rocket Raccoon was also very fast. He picked up a short-range cannon beside him and caught up with Su Ze.

After leaving the dormitory, Su Ze soon arrived at the Ravenclaw common room next door. Most of the students were still in class at this time, and only some lower grade students who had no classes stayed here.

From a distance, Su Ze saw a group of people gathered at the corner ahead.

"Make way, make way, let me in and see what's going on." Su Ze shouted and pushed the crowd apart.

Noticing Suze's arrival, the panicked little wizards immediately made way for Suze to go in and check the situation. Rocket Raccoon, due to his relatively short stature, easily squeezed in the innermost part.

When Rocket Raccoon saw the little girl lying on the ground, pale and motionless with a terrified look on her face, he immediately gasped.

“Oh my god.”

Looking back at Su Ze, I saw that Su Ze's face had also become gloomy.
