Chapter 16 The Dark Wizard
John and Michelle rushed out of the tunnel immediately and looked around cautiously.
Fortunately, they found no trace of the mysterious guest.
The entire basement had not changed much from when they came before. Various instruments and biological specimens with unknown functions were placed haphazardly on the shelves, glowing with a strange green light, making it look eerie and terrifying.
The huge pile of corpses was still piled in the center of the basement.
Those mysterious visitors seemed to have done something in the past two days, resulting in a few more fresh corpses there.
This also filled the entire basement with a terrifying smell of blood mixed with rancid smell.
Although this was not the first time he had seen her, John's scalp was still numb now that he was back in the basement.
The homeless people also saw everything in front of them.
However, it seems that because too many weird things happened tonight, which exceeded their acceptable limit, they did not show much reaction.
This is good news.
If they were paralyzed with fear in a place like this, then John had no time to care about them.
By the faint light emitted by the turquoise gems on the ceiling, John quickly found a passage.
Through this passage, everyone came to a brand new room.
This place is only a little smaller than the previous basement, and is fully equipped with all daily necessities and furniture, as well as various crucibles and weird instruments.
"John! Look! That's where the exit should be!"
Michelle said excitedly.
As she spoke, she pointed at an iron door on the opposite side of the room.
The iron door was placed at the end of a short flight of steps. The door was ajar and not securely closed.
And through the open gap, you can easily see the river flowing quietly outside.
This is enough to prove that John's plan is absolutely correct!
There is indeed a passage to the outside world hidden in this basement!
They are about to succeed!
Michelle was overjoyed and was about to continue saying something, but John covered her mouth.
"Stop talking! Something is wrong!"
As John spoke, his eyes kept falling on a coffee table in the room.
There, there was a half-cup of still hot coffee steaming.
It was obvious that someone had just drunk half of it.
In this case, where is the owner of this cup of coffee?
"squeak--"
A wooden door on the side of the room was opened.
John and others subconsciously followed the sound and saw an old man in black robe looking at them blankly.
There was also a hint of surprise in John's eyes.
The old man in front of him was not the mysterious guest he expected, but an old human man with a normal build!
But since he's already here, it doesn't really mean much whether he's a human or a monster.
"run!"
John roared, dragged Michelle and ran towards the iron gate.
The other homeless people were now frightened.
Following John's actions, they became confused again.
When the old man in black robe saw this, he finally reacted and said ecstatically:
"Merlin! There are so many materials delivered to your door! How wonderful! Here comes the magic wand!"
A short wooden stick on the coffee table instantly flew into his hand, and then he flicked it violently.
"Quickly imprison him!"
"Click——"
The iron door that was originally ajar was closed and locked. John and Michelle bumped into it due to inertia, but they did not open it.
"The pure iron gate is 3 inches thick, and the lock bar at the seal is 1 inch thick." The old man in black robe held a magic wand and said with a smile, "Don't waste your efforts, let's just surrender without hesitation!"
John and Michelle looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
It's not difficult to break open this iron door with the magic power of the two of them, it just takes a little time.
And the old man in black robe would not just sit back and watch them break down the door.
So, the only choice is to fight!
"Duo——"
The two of them turned around almost at the same time, stamped their feet on the ground, and rushed towards the old man in black robe.
Michelle is faster than John.
She passed John, picked up a chair and threw it at the old man in black robe.
"Oh oh oh! What a rude little girl. It will be difficult for you to get married in the future!"
The old man in black robes was teasing, but his men showed no mercy at all. A red light instantly lit up when the wand was flicked.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Bang——"
The wooden chair in Michelle's hand was knocked away, and even Michelle himself was staggered by the huge impact.
The old man in black robe raised his wand again.
Fortunately, John has already arrived.
He took advantage of the opportunity when the black-robed old man's attention was attracted by Michelle and sneaked around. He rushed out from the blind spot of the black-robed old man's field of vision and punched the black-robed old man on the waist hard.
John's blow exerted magic on it as usual.
Zhen Lun's strength can be said to be greater than that of many adults.
A crisp sound broke out from the waist of the old man in black robe who was hit, and he fell to the ground in pain.
Taking advantage of the victory, John pursued the attack and raised his arm to continue hitting the old man in black robe on the head.
And this time, the magic in his body responded to his emotions.
I saw a flash of blue light in John's eyes, and a large amount of magic energy actually formed a sharp blade on the surface of John's fist.
If this was a direct hit, the old man in black robe would probably have his head split open!
However, at this moment, the old man in black robe was seen raising his wand slightly, and he was not seen chanting a spell. A burst of pure magic power burst out, knocking John away directly.
Michelle caught John with a flying swoop and asked anxiously:
"John, are you okay?"
John didn't answer, but the old man in black robe not far away poured a tube of green liquid into his mouth with a look of pain on his face.
"It hurts! Damn you guys! I originally planned to capture you alive and let you live a little longer!" The old man in black robe stood up with support on his waist. Perhaps the medicine had taken effect, and the pain on his face gradually dissipated, "But I
Now, pay attention instead!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
"boom--"
A bolt of emerald green lightning cut through the space, and a massive amount of malice emerged, leaving a long green mark on John's retina.
At the critical moment, the magic power surged in John's body.
With the help of magic power, he grabbed Michelle at an almost weird speed and turned sideways, narrowly escaping the blow.
Looking at the big hole made by the emerald green lightning on the ground, John looked cold and said loudly:
"Don't be stupid. If you don't want to die, come to me! Don't forget that you have drank poison!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the homeless people present changed.
Some people even had a look of cruelty on their faces and quietly touched the old man in black robe.
Seeing this, a sneer flashed across the face of the old man in black robe.
He didn't think that these Muggles and two little wizards could do much harm to him.
The only person who surprised him was John.
He still had some impression of John.
If his memory was correct, John was still a Muggle a few months ago, but now he has turned into a young wizard with magical talents!
Is this a spontaneous awakening of John's magical talent, or is it...
"boom--"
A loud noise interrupted the black-robed old man's thoughts.
He frowned and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that the iron door leading to the outside world had been broken with a big hole.
A woman wearing a nun's robe was slowly walking in from the cave entrance.
