The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"Are you awake?"

Astoria opened her eyes and found that she seemed to be lying on a comfortable large bed with white curtains next to her.

Infirmary?

"I feel like you may be the first student in the thousand-year history of Hogwarts to faint in class due to hypoglycemia due to lack of food."

Xia Mi covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh after saying this.

"You mean, I fainted from hunger"?

Astoria covered her face in embarrassment.

"I thought it was my blood curse that recurred"...

"Actually, it's true that your blood curse has recurred, but I gave that big snake a good beating for you, but it consumed your mental energy and a lot of blood sugar. As a result, you overslept this morning. Go to the cafeteria for breakfast”…

This time it was Xia Mi's turn to smile awkwardly and scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Snape was so frightened by you that he immediately asked Zhang Qi to carry you from the Potions classroom on the ground floor to the infirmary on the third floor. During this process, Zhang Qi's head accidentally hit the infirmary. You two were almost lying side by side on the doorframe."

"Ah this"......

Astoria scratched her head, a blush on her face.

"What? You like him?"

Xia Mi said with a smile.

"No"!

Astoria yelled angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let me tell you something serious. Do you want to completely get rid of the nightmare of the blood curse?"

Xia Mi suddenly said seriously.

"Is there any way you can free me from this disgusting curse"?

Astoria asked in surprise.

"Yes, Zhang Qi will come to visit you in about an hour. And just now, Madam Pomfrey peeled an apple for you and put it in a bowl on the bedside."

Xia Mi pointed to a silver bowl on the bedside table, which contained chopped apple pieces.

"But people who are conscientious will occasionally forget things. Pomfrey forgot to take the fruit knife away after peeling the fruit for you."

Astoria looked in the direction of Xia Mi's finger. There was a sharp fruit knife next to the silver bowl on the bedside table.

"So what exactly do you want to say?"

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Astoria's heart.

"When your roommate Zhang Qi comes to visit you, he will sit in front of your hospital bed and turn around to get the silver bowl on the bedside table so that he can feed you the apples in it."

Xia Mi paused and then continued.

"I want you to hide the fruit knife under the quilt first. When he turns around to get you an apple, all you need to do is poke the knife into his neck and twist it a few times. This will bleed. It will be faster."

"Kill him and your curse will be lifted."

Xia Mi looked at Astoria with a smile.

"How? Do you want to do this, my lord"?

----------------------

At this time, Zhang Qi didn't know what was happening in the infirmary. He was standing in front of a strange tapestry on the 8th floor of the castle, marveling at the curious content on the tapestry.

"There are really wizards who are interested in trolls"...

After sighing at the strange abilities of ancient wizards, Zhang Qi began to look at the tapestry and recite silently in his heart:

"I need a room that is just for me, one that no one can enter without my permission."

A ball of white light began to appear on the wall to the left of the tapestry. After the white light dissipated,A gorgeous oak door appeared on the originally smooth wall.

Zhang Qi opened the door without hesitation and walked into the room behind the door.

Behind the door is a 60x60, 3600-square-meter room. The ground is paved with exquisite solid wood floors, and the walls are made of stone bricks that don't look so eye-catching. The whole room is empty without any furniture.

The Room of Requirement is really the answer to every request.

"Okay, now I need an interrogation room, one that is fully equipped and can be used at any time."

Zhang Qi said silently in his heart again.

The room quickly darkened. I don't know when the floor on the ground had been replaced by mossy stone bricks, and several burning braziers appeared.

There were several long iron handles wrapped in coarse cloth sticking out from the brazier. They were the handles of the soldering iron.

On the shelves nearby are many instruments of torture that are terrifying to look at - hammers, chisels, whips...

Zhang Qi even saw an iron coffin with spikes inside in the corner of this room!

"I need a cage that is a little more slender, but not too high. The requirement is that an adult can be stuffed in it, and it cannot sit down or stand up straight."

With a crisp popping sound, a blood-stained cage appeared in front of Zhang Qi's eyes.

"almost".

Zhang Qi nodded, and then dragged an unconscious person out of his suitcase that had been cast with a space extension spell.

That was Marcello Weiss. Zhang Qi effortlessly picked him up with one hand, turned around with his left hand, slapped him twice, then threw him into the cage and closed the door. And locked.

"Good afternoon, Foreign Affairs Officer Marcelo Weiss."

Zhang Qi said with a sneer.

"Now tell me who your accomplice is, and maybe you can survive."

"You, what are you talking about, I, I don't understand."

Marcelo Weiss stammered.

"Then I will help you recall your memories."

Zhang Qi continued with a sneer.

"Your main duties in the company are purchasing and auditing, but not long ago you suddenly discovered some unusual accounts in the company's annual statements, one of which was for a trip to Ukraine."

"The name of that abnormal account is to go to Ukraine to acquire weapons and equipment from the former Soviet Union, but you think the matter is not that simple, because the company's main industry is the manufacturing of cutting-edge weapons. This kind of thing should be acquired by a fool like Nicolas Cage. Yes. So out of strong curiosity, you continued to investigate."

"Then you find that a rebellion broke out in Ukraine around the time the company went to conduct the transaction. This time is very suspicious, because the rebellion is the most chaotic moment for a country. If you want to get anything confidential, you can do it here. Time has slipped in, so you think the company probably wants to get some information about the Far East."

Having said this, Zhang Qi sighed and then continued.

"Originally nothing would happen if you only checked here, but unfortunately Mossad found you at this time and expressed its hope to cooperate with you to obtain this information. Under the temptation of money, you agreed, completely betrayed the company."

"As a result, after you used the company's own channels to conduct screening, you successfully found out that Zirol Company was not trading weapons at all, but smuggling something, and the clues were cut off here. Your culprit is you I got the opportunity to go on this business trip and planned to let you escape, but I didn’t expect that you would fall into my hands in the end.”

"As for what that thing is, I guess you already have the answer in your mind, right?"

The look Zhang Qi looked at him almost froze his soul.

“Nuclear, nuclear briefcase”…

Marcello Weiss pursed his lips and used all his strength to say these words.
