Chapter 411: The Most Special Bottle
Behind a screen in the school hospital, Harry, Luo Nade, and Ma Erfu were lying on three side-by-side hospital beds.
After a while, Zhang Qiu came in hurriedly. She pulled a chair and sat on the edge of Harry's bed, asking anxiously: "I came back after calling the embassy. Now the most important thing is, are you sure the one who attacked you last was a magenta knight?"
"Yes, and he also extracted something from me. I feel like I have lost the ability to transform again."
"This must be a trap," Ma Erfu hid his gloating very deeply, making a look of regret and hatred. "That mysterious person has been looking for No. 1 for a long time. That pink knight must have followed the Moon Knight in. He can be invisible."
"Yes, he should have also run away invisibly at the end," Luo Nade said, holding his head. "At that time, I vaguely saw a silhouette."
"First of all, what can be determined is that the knight who attacked Harry is called Decade. His special ability is to copy the abilities of other knights. My master has been wondering why he handed over the belt so readily back then. Now it seems that it is very likely that he has already secretly copied a belt."
"Then could the mysterious person who gave me the belt be Decade?" Ma Erfu asked. "He is obviously trying to extract something from No. 1, so he has been asking me if I have seen No. 1."
"No. 1, why am I No. 1?" Harry was also a bit confused.
"The first Kamen Rider, his name is not Kamen Rider No. 1, but just Kamen Rider. This was originally just a legend that was theoretically possible. Master's uncle didn't expect anyone to really transform into No. 1, because this represents the cornerstone and origin of the entire Kamen Rider series. No. 1 is the embodiment of the concept of Kamen Rider itself."
"What is the special nature of No. 1?" Harry couldn't figure it out.
"The first contact with the Sorcerer's Stone, were you harboring the intention to protect others in your heart?" Zhang Qiu sighed. "The actual first contact, coupled with the anchoring of fate, the special nature of No. 1 fell on you."
"Then what he extracted from me, could it be this special nature..." Harry said very fearfully.
"Yes, but there is no need to worry. Just now Master's uncle told me that what they should have extracted from you is the 'Knight System' energy bottle, and once the energy bottle is finalized, it can be replicated."
"Replicated?"
"Yes, the factor that has truly restricted the mass production of the Knight System is not the output of belts and bottles, but the adaptability between people and bottles," Zhang Qiu explained. "The special thing about the 'Knight System' bottle is that its adaptability is extremely strong, and it has an adaptability of over 70% with anyone."
"Then the matter is very clear," Harry sighed. "Who would pursue mass-produced Kamen Riders? I'm afraid it's only Yanayev."
"Yes, he has already formed a wizard army. If he equips them with mass-produced Kamen Riders... I dare not imagine." Zhang Qiu also revealed a difficult look.
"Ah?" Ma Erfu obviously didn't understand.
"Let me explain the whole process of the matter, or my reasoning," Harry sighed. "From the beginning, after buying the Knight System, Yanayev immediately began to seek mass production..."
"But if he just wants mass production," Luo Nade interrupted him, "isn't it enough for everyone to be issued a belt and two empty bottles?"
"No, that would only create a bunch of colorful, uncoordinated scattered soldiers. He wants everyone to transform into the same kind of knight, so that he can exert the disciplinary advantage of the army."
"And if the form after transformation can be finalized, the cost of making belts can also be greatly reduced," Zhang Qiu added.
"Yes, this is also a point... So Yanayev would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy Croz, because he also couldn't find two elements with high adaptability at the same time, so the puzzle of mass-produced knights is single-bottle transformation technology + Knight System bottle."
"So the one who has been writing to me is a Soviet?" Ma Erfu said in surprise.
"Yes, so he asked you to help find No. 1," Harry sighed. Before the information about No. 1 appeared, he didn't think in this direction at all.
"And this time, it is obvious that the Soviets used the Moon Knight. The Moon Knight must have learned from the vampire's grapevine that Snape was not there, so he decided to come over to find the diadem—although I don't know what he wants the diadem for," Harry continued to analyze. "He shouldn't know where the diadem is specifically, so he chose to force us. After Decade appeared, the Moon Knight chose to escape, which actually shows that they shouldn't know each other."
"And Decade didn't make things difficult for us, it was really a life saved," Ma Erfu sighed.
"I think Luo Nade's initial guess was right. Decade must have followed the Moon Knight, and the Moon Knight followed us. He was troubled that he couldn't get into the Room of Requirement, so he could only wait for us to come out at the door."
"He couldn't stand in the corridor brightly, right? Unless..."
"The transformer of the Moon Knight is a person in the school," several people said in unison.
Harry's expression was unusually complex. He knew there was a vampire in the school: Nikola Karnstein. But that was just a shy little boy. Could he be the Moon Knight? This possibility was very small.
No, impossible. Harry soon remembered that stadium attack. Nikola and the Moon Knight appeared at the same time. Obviously, they were two people.
"Not necessarily," Harry shook his head. "The transformer of the Moon Knight can disguise himself as a person in the school. He just needs to put on a Hufflepuff robe, who can recognize it?"
"But how did Decade avoid people's eyes and ears?"
"He also has invisibility ability in the knight form, which is what Luo Nade noticed," Harry explained. "He might have started to suspect me long ago, so when he noticed that the Moon Knight was going to trouble us, he chose to follow the Moon Knight."
After a short silence, Zhang Qiu spoke: "Perhaps that's it. After all, our Sorcerer's Stone contact experiment is not a confidential matter, Harry's first-grade experience has long been spread, and everyone knows that you are one of the anchors of fate, so it is very possible that Yanayev suspected you were No. 1 from the beginning."
"So he gave the belt to Ma Erfu," Luo Nade said thoughtfully. "He must be trying to use Ma Erfu to test Harry."
Ma Erfu's face was even worse at this moment—thinking that he could obtain the Knight System was also because of Harry, which made him feel like a fish bone in his throat.
"And Slughorn also asked about Harry's transformation form," Zhang Qiu touched her chin. "Perhaps it was someone in his relationship network who asked, because he himself looked like he didn't know anything."
After all the doubts were discussed, Zhang Qiu sat with them for a while, then said goodbye and left.
The three people in the hospital ward didn't have many common topics, but at this moment, they were beaten to cancel the transformation one after another in the same room, and the injuries they suffered were similar, so at least they could sigh together.
Harry's sigh was the most sorrowful. He originally thought he could finally unlock the knight transformation, but because of the special nature of the knight form, he fell into a trap that the Soviets had laid for a long time. But it was also okay, at least it was confirmed that the energy bottle that matched him best was the Knight System bottle, so he could try to capture one to use after the Soviets put it into mass production.
Luo Nade and Ma Erfu, Harry looked at the two people on the left and right again. Their progress was minimal. He really didn't know when they could truly grow up and be able to scare Yanayev's knight army like the wizard army that Deng Buliduo and Voldemort scared Yanayev.
Is this possible? This is not very possible. Harry sighed. At this moment, he had already started a race with Yanayev—unless he hoped that Ge Xuan had left a backhand to deal with Yanayev, but he was afraid that he would rather share this world with Yanayev.
Harry took another look at the two rivals standing back-to-back beside him, and another question arose in his mind. Or, when will I be able to regain my own knightly power and take on the role of Britain's deterrent myself?
Time passed in a blink of an eye. Although the three of them didn't communicate much during their hospitalization, Harry could feel that the mutual hatred between Luo Nade and Ma Erfu had indeed slightly eased. After being discharged from the hospital, they should also consider a matter worthy of attention: the Christmas dance was just around the corner, and the dance partner had not yet been settled.
To be precise, Luo Nade's dance partner had not yet been settled. Harry could always be with Zhang Qiu. He was just thinking about whether Luo Nade would invite Hermione, or whether Hermione would break the precedent to invite Luo Nade, or whether Luo Nade would be willing to compromise with reality and accept dancing with another girl without Hermione.
They could wait a little longer, because on December 16th, a wave of transfer students was about to arrive.
On the morning of the 15th, Harry and Luo Nade gathered together to watch the brand-new exchange student list, and after browsing three times, they didn't find Elena's name.
"Here," a light voice came from behind, followed by someone pulling Harry's sleeve out.
"Oh, you two," Harry looked at Jin Ni and Yifu who were smiling evilly. "What's the matter?"
"This year's exchange includes boarding activities. I want to bring a classmate home, and spend Christmas together. The old Sir is not there, so... just assume he agreed?" Yifu said with expectation.
"Me too," Jin Ni said, grabbing Luo Nade's hand.
"Forget it, whatever, you are happy," Harry didn't intend to be the one who spoiled the fun.
"Me too," Luo Nade shrugged and repeated.
Looking at the two who left jumping, Harry and Luo Nade realized one thing at the same time: this year's exchange students were still fifth-year students, which meant... no one would board at Hermione's place.
Luo Nade began to steal joy, while Harry began to worry. Donald obviously changed his cards, and he had to increase his vigilance. ===== CHAPTER 412 =====
