Chapter 22 You Can Call me...Tom Riddle!
Rolf grabbed Pete and slammed him against the glass jar.
His head smashed the glass in an instant, half of his body went through it, a large amount of water poured into his lungs, and the dwarf's body twisted desperately like an eel.
In the glass jar, there was also a gray head the size of a Quaffle. He had no body, only thick arms with severe varicose veins on both sides of his head.
This was obviously another freak!
The freak opened his gray dead fish eyes, suddenly clamped Pete's head with his arms, opened his mouth wide and bit his nose, tearing it hard, and blood kept oozing out.
Pete was immediately in excruciating pain, and just when he was about to suffocate, the hand pulled him out again and threw him to the ground.
Pete's nose was bitten off, and it felt as if it was burned. He reached out and touched it, and his body trembled in pain and cold sweat ran down.
The dwarf turned over with difficulty and tried to open his eyelids. With his vision blurred, he looked up and saw a young face that he still remembered.
[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It is really useful. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Pete suddenly opened his eyes wide. It was this blond boy who gave him money tonight... and asked if the mermaid was beautiful, which caused him to be beaten by Skander!
Rove looked down at the dwarf who was sitting limply on the ground, pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "You are right, this mermaid is really beautiful, so I want to take it away."
"Mr. Skander, someone is robbing..."
Before Pete finished shouting, he was kicked in the head by Rove. His head hit the ground directly and he fainted on the spot.
The boy walked to the box, looked inside, and sighed, "How did it become like this?"
Misangla, whose long hair was scattered in the water like a golden lotus, heard a familiar voice. She raised her head in disbelief, and when she saw the boy, she was stunned.
The girl burst into tears at this moment.
"Okay, it's okay." Rolf was silent for a moment, knocked on the box, and smiled, "Stay here for a while, I'll take you out."
The boy closed the lid and put it back into his black suitcase. He picked up the box and walked out of the tent.
The tent of the Mysterious Circus, like his box, also used the Traceless Extension Spell to expand countless spaces. At this moment, he was in a place where all kinds of deformed creatures were.
In addition to the small fist-like monster just now, there were also Catwoman and Spider-Man who performed not long ago.
These are not normal magical creatures, but deformed species. They are either the result of magical experiments or the mating and hybridization of magical animals of different species:
A giant python with one head and two bodies; a centaur with three arms, one leg and two heads; a turtle child with a tortoise shell covering its back; a vampire with bark on its skin...
Of course, in addition to these living creatures, there are many conjoined creatures that have been made into specimens and soaked in formalin.
In the corner, Rolf also saw two skeletons, one hugging the other in a strange posture.
The hugged skeleton has no problems and is the skeleton of a normal human, but the other one...his spine is crooked, his head is shrunk in his shoulder blades, and one leg is obviously shorter than the other.
There is also a golden inscription engraved under the skeleton:
Quasimodo and Esmeralda of Notre Dame de Paris.
In addition, there are two finger bones of Galileo; the mummy of Ramses the Great; the heads of Cromwell and Wang Mang that have been patinated; Einstein's brain slices...
Skander is obviously not only a fan of deformed species, but also likes to collect the remains of various wizards and famous Muggles... His interests are very diverse.
Rolf passed through the deformed species area and soon entered the magical creature area, where there are more magical creatures:
Furry rat pigs as big as cows; stinging sphinxes; giant piranhas; terrifying horned lizards with sickle-like claws...
Many dangerous magical creatures, even the boy has never seen them before.
But compared to Rolf and Newt's boxes, a suitable living environment is specially arranged for magical creatures... The magical creatures of the Mystery Circus are all locked in magic cages.
They are all tools for performances!
Rolf had promised Captain Carlos not to conflict with Skander, and he wanted to leave, but this time...
After finding Myrcella and seeing so many "treasures", the boy didn't know why he suddenly didn't want to leave.
After all, he was a person who convinced people with reason, and at least he had to tell Skander some of his "reasons".
Rolf was silent for a moment, and walked quickly to a huge cage.
In the cage was a magical creature, with black stripes behind the ears, and silver-gray back and outer limbs, which looked very much like a mountain lion.
This is a panther...a magical creature in North America, it can walk upright, and its eyes have the ability of hypnosis and legilimency.
This panther, which was supposed to run in the Appalachian Mountains, was now covered with scars and looked malnourished, with many marks of being whipped.
Rolf suddenly pulled out his wand, pointed the tip of the wand at the magic lock, and after an explosion, the cage was opened.
The cat-leopard came out carefully, looked at Rolf deeply, and ran away quickly.
There was a commotion in the tent, and the magical creatures in other cages also roared excitedly like a swarm of bees in a hive.
But at this moment, a scream sounded in the tent. It was obvious that there was magic on the lock, and if it was forced to open, it would trigger an alarm.
At this time, the curtain at the tent exit was also automatically sealed.
Luofu didn't pay attention. He walked to the second cage and released another horned camel.
As the boy walked toward the third cage, he felt something picking at his ankles.
Luofu looked down and saw dark fingers tightly clamping his calf, climbing up his thigh.
A goblin dagger appeared in his hand and cut off the arm. The broken arm squirmed on the ground, and the fingers kept opening and closing.
Soon, a group of dark wizards emerged from the ground. They were wearing cloaks and hoods, sliding towards him. Under the hoods, their eyes were empty.
This is a group of inferi!
Rolf waved his wand, and a red light fell on an inferi. The curse split his face in half, creating a bone-deep crack that penetrated the cheek.
But the Inferi did not shed a drop of blood. They seemed to be unconscious and still staggered towards the young man.
"Where did the thief come from?" A voice like a bell rang in the tent: "How dare you act wild in my mysterious circus?! I don't want to live anymore!
"
Skander, who was disturbed while taking a bath, appeared in the distance wearing a cloak. With terrible anger on his face, he stared at the blond boy surrounded by the inferi.
"Boy, who are you?!"
Luofu turned to look at the middle-aged wizard. He bowed gracefully and said with a smile:
"Mr. Skander, you can call me... Tom Riddle."
