Lin Ze I don't know how long it has been.
It could be a few minutes, it could be a century.
He felt like he had been broken into thousands of pieces and then thrown into a blast furnace to be burned.
Pain was beyond description of what he felt.
Just endless torture and howling.
In the end, he only remembered that he couldn't scream anymore and could only lie on the iron floor like a dehydrated fish to maintain the most basic breathing.
"Huh... huh..."
The floor beneath him was soaked with sweat.
After an unknown amount of time, the burning heat in his body finally slowly faded away, and he felt that something was coming out of his skin, or rather growing, but he lay there motionless, unable to check.
Lin Ze lay down for a long time before regaining control of his body, holding his arms and getting up from the ground.
His movements were very slow, like a newborn baby familiar with its body, cautious and careful.
Lin Ze looked down at his hand. The back of his hand was covered with a layer of fine scales.
The jet black scales, with a dark golden sheen on the edges, spread from the back of the hand to the wrist, and then to the forearm. The entire arm was tightly covered by this thing.
The scales are very thin, adhere to the skin, feel cool and smooth, like a pair of natural armor.
Lin Ze's brain buzzed.
He almost rolled to the wall and grabbed a broken mirror.
The person in the mirror is still him, but it's not quite him anymore.
The face was still the same, except that there were some fine scales on the cheeks near the ears, and a few flakes sprouted from the forehead, glowing with a faint black light under the dim light.
The eyes are still black, but there is a gold line in the pupils.
Lin Ze looked at the mirror speechlessly, what is going on?
Dragonite?
"Handsome is quite handsome..."
Especially the golden threads floating in the eyes, he is so handsome, right?
He stretched out a finger and tapped the scales on his forearm with his nail.
The scales make a crisp sound.
"It's just... you can't take this thing back, right?"
He rolled up his sleeves again and found that there was no gap between the scales and the skin, as if they were born on his body.
Lin Ze's face fell.
"Fuck, Bados, you piece of shit, I've been tricked by you this time."
He stood up cursing, raised his feet and went to Bados, only to find that the other party was already hard...
"Fuck, nothing will happen to you if you die, how can I see anyone like this!"
There was only one thought in his mind right now: how to get rid of these scales.
He tried using "Transfiguration Spell" to make the scales disappear, but it had no effect.
So he decided to try "Severing Charm".
As a result, Charms only produced a string of sparks when it hit the scales.
I went! This defensive power... although... but... it doesn't seem so hard to accept now...
"Ahem..."
Suddenly there was a slight cough behind him, and Lin Ze felt that the blood in his body was like a burning engine, driving him to bounce up instantly.
In just one breath, he ducked in front of the man in the suit, with a speed comparable to the short-distance "Apparition".
Lin Ze subconsciously grabbed the man in the suit by the neck and drove him through the bulkhead. The sea breeze mixed with the salty smell rushed in.
"Bang--"
The two of them fell into the sea, and the splash was two meters high.
Sea water came in from all directions, and the man in the suit choked a few mouthfuls of water, fluttered his hands wildly, and made indistinct whimpering sounds. There was no trace of the proud aura he had when he was possessed by Tom.
Lin Ze grabbed his collar, kicked off his feet, and led the man to the surface of the sea.
The man in the suit was flapping wildly under his hands, squealing like a rooster with its neck strangled.
Lin Ze held him with one hand and paddled with the other hand towards the direction of the boat.
After boarding the ship, he threw the man in the suit on the deck.
He saw his own reflection in the water stains on the deck. At this time, black scales had covered his body, glowing with dark golden lines under the moonlight, extending from his neck to his cheeks. The scales on his forehead were even more arrogant.
He cursed in a low voice, but found that there was a strange echo in his voice.
It seems that the stress response just now seems to have activated a certain function in the body.
Looking at the man in the suit again, his eyes were half-open, his mouth was half-open, and saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Tom?" Lin Ze shouted tentatively.
No response.
"Mr. Riddle?"
Still no response.
Lin Ze stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the man in the suit. The man's eyes followed his hand and turned twice, then he smiled stupidly, showing his white teeth.
"Hey... fish... so many fish..."
Well, it seems that Mr. Riddle is no longer here, but this person seems to have become a fool.
Lin Ze sighed, ignored him, turned around and walked back to the cabin.
The cabin was in a mess, and Bados's body was still lying in the corner, as hard as a dried salted fish.
Lin Ze walked straight to the suitcase and took out the diary.
The moment he took it, his fingers trembled as if there was an electric shock.
A strange feeling spread from the fingertips.
The next moment, he "saw" a dark shadow curled up in the diary.
Obviously, that is Tom Riddle that has returned to the diary.
"You are lucky." Lin Ze muttered and stuffed the diary back into his arms.
He looked down at his hand, and saw dark golden lines flowing slowly under the scales.
The strange feeling just now was still amplifying.
He closed his eyes and the outline of the entire ship appeared in his mind.
There were several blurry light spots at the bottom of the cabin, as faint as candlelight in the wind.
Lin Ze frowned and looked toward the bottom of the boat.
Is there anyone else down there?
He walked down the stairs, his boots stepping on the iron steps.
The further down you go, the stronger the salty smell becomes, mixed with an indescribable sour odor.
The bilge was separated by a locked iron door.
Lin Ze didn't hesitate and kicked him over.
The iron door was kicked away like pieces of paper.
Lin Ze blinked.
He felt that he still had some energy left in the kick just now.
Damn it, am I still a human being?
Lin Ze was muttering in his heart.
There was a cell at the bottom of the bilge, with several rusty iron beds placed side by side. Several people, both men and women, were lying on them. Some were covered with dirty blankets, and some were only covered with a layer of sacks.
They all had metal rings on their bodies.
Lin Ze counted, there were seven people in total, one of them had lost his breath.
Of the six people left...
Huh? That woman is...Bellatrix?
Damn...
Lin Ze suddenly felt a strange heat emanating from his body when he saw this crazy woman Bellatrix.
He stared at Bellatrix for a long time and felt his body move forward involuntarily. He was so frightened that he quickly gave himself "Freezing Charm".
This is...
What are the side effects of the medicine?
It's a pity that Bados is dead, and no one tells him what to do with his current condition.
