Chapter 418: Dangerous Trigger

"Hey!" When Harry returned to the dormitory, he found Ron lying on the bed, which made the worry in his heart even greater.

"Oh, I'm a bit sleepy, I want to lie down for a while longer," Ron said weakly.

"You have to pull yourself together, you know I just..." Harry wanted to use Hermione's news to pique his curiosity.

"I don't want to hear it," Ron turned over, back to Harry. "I know I've been troubled by Hermione's affairs recently, and I also know this is wrong, although I might not necessarily find a way to overcome it—but I've decided to at least start by not paying attention."

"You want to forget her?" Harry felt this was a bit difficult. After all, Zhang Qiu had said that fate would always guide the two to pay attention to each other from time to time.

"Pretty much, in short, I can't let her affect my fighting," Ron's voice was a bit frustrated. "Especially now that Saber is lagging behind others."

"Then you should also get up and practice swordsmanship," Harry urged with some dissatisfaction.

"No, it has little to do with swordsmanship, the important thing is my emotions," Ron seemed a bit guilty. "I have to adjust my emotions..."

Harry knew there was no gain in talking to him more. At this moment, he could only leave the dormitory angrily. He wandered aimlessly in the eighth-floor corridor. Suddenly, a somewhat crazy, but seemingly feasible plan surged into his heart.

He needed an opportunity, an opportunity that truly pushed Ron to the edge, an opportunity where someone Ron cared about was also in danger and had to rely on him to rescue. Harry believed that the reason Ron had never grown was perhaps because he had never experienced such a situation.

Yes, the more Harry thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Every time Ron faced an enemy alone, Crimson Knight or Moon Knight, he fought quite well. If he could face Alan alone—no, Alan was an exchange student. Losing to him would at most be a loss of face, even if it was in front of Hermione...

Harry realized at this moment that Donald's scheme was indeed well-thought-out. Alan's identity destined that it was difficult for Ron to have the belief that he "must win" when fighting him. The only way was to use his obsession with Hermione, but from the current point of view, this was instead another trap.

Then the answer was obvious. If one couldn't make a fuss about OOO, one could only make a fuss about Moon Knight. He needed to take a risk, and he happened to have enough means to support him that Ron didn't know about, which was the Queen's Blood.

For a whole day, Harry perfected his plan over and over again in his heart. Then, after the Torchwood gathering, he kept Cui Ge behind.

"I'm sorry that I still need your help this time, but I think this is the only opportunity to get Ron to pull himself together," Harry said. "I need to get him into a predicament. For this, you might need to be both defeated by OOO."

"Hmm... you say the latter part first," Cui Ge scratched his head in distress.

"I'll find a way to get Snape away and lure Moon Knight to appear. Last time it was because Snape left school and went to the Ministry of Magic that Moon Knight slipped into the school," Harry already had a plan in his heart, which was to ask Snape to take Neville to the Department of Mysteries to find Dumbledore's relics.

"Moon Knight appears, and you and OOO are both defeated. Ron will definitely stand up to block Moon Knight without hesitation. This is the best way to get him to find back his fighting heart," Harry said seriously.

"Sounds good, but I feel the outcome of this fight might not be up to me," Cui Ge looked a bit hesitant. "OOO challenging again must mean he has some new reliance. The worst case is—he defeats Double and Moon Knight in a row, and then Hogwarts' face will be completely lost."

"Then things will be a little complicated, I have to go convince Draco..." Harry felt a bit tricky. "Wait a moment, I'll go call him."

"No, wait," Cui Ge stopped him. "I have another plan."

"What?"

"I want to use the Dangerous Trigger," his tone seemed a bit resolute.

"What is that?"

"You know the Knight system can only receive positive emotion amplification, right?" Cui Ge took out a small plug-in with a big red button. "But after inserting the Dangerous Trigger, it can receive the amplification of all emotions, and the power is greatly enhanced."

"But this is bad for the body!" Harry said without thinking.

"Yes, I know, but once in a while shouldn't matter, but that's not the key," Cui Ge took a deep breath. "The key is, after Henshin with the Dangerous Trigger, the negative emotions amplified by the Knight system are very likely to make people fall into madness, and then indiscriminately attack everything around them."

"I don't even know why this thing was invented," Harry's tone carried undisguised rejection. The tragedy of Crimson Knight and Karkaroff was still fresh in his memory. "Clearly the current Knight system has made reasonable improvements, yet they still want to dismantle the protective device—"

"Of course, because there are always those few moments," Cui Ge interrupted him, "when you need to do something that must be done even if you bet your life. I think this is the reason why that master kept the Dangerous Trigger."

"On Saturday, I will use the Dangerous Trigger. First, this is to be able to defeat OOO, and second, it is to force Ron through madness," Cui Ge's voice was still a bit childish, but his tone had an unquestionable quality. "Even if I can control myself not to fall into madness, I will pretend to be."

"You don't have to," Harry frowned. He always felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

"The point is, I don't want to lose to OOO, and I don't want to be both defeated," Cui Ge looked up. "Hogwarts is just one thing, more importantly, I don't want Double—this combination that carries the bond between me and Luna, to lose to those stupid animal worlds."

Harry suddenly remembered where this familiarity came from. He had once stood in front of Dumbledore and the Doctors like this, with his neck stiff, holding the Time-Instant Moment...

"Oh, Cui Ge, I have to say I really, I think we are very similar," Harry laughed dumbly. "Alright, I will respect your decision, and I am also very grateful that you are willing to do so much for Ron's sake."

"Then it's a deal," Cui Ge revealed a smile and gave him a thumbs up.

Harry returned to the dormitory. He did abandon the plan to send Snape away, and instead started talking to Ron about the Dangerous Trigger.

Ron frowned after hearing Harry's explanation, but soon, his thoughts drifted in another direction.

"If, I mean if, the power Cui Ge shows is indeed very strong, and his loss of control can indeed be stopped by me..." he stared at Harry, and Harry unexpectedly found that there was already a flame burning in Ron's eyes. "I hope to borrow the Dangerous Trigger. If I can master that power, or don't need to master it, just defeat Moon Knight before losing control!"

"Just ask Cui Ge to stop me after defeating Moon Knight." He said firmly.

"I think we have other ways to deal with Moon Knight," now Harry began to worry that Ron was too eager to fight, to the point of falling into danger. "You'd better not take the Dangerous Trigger too seriously, this is a side path after all."

Ron took a deep breath, seeming to calm his inner excitement. "Harry, I understand your worry. But I also know that I can't go on like this anymore. I need to step back onto the path of the strong. Moon Knight is a heart disease that must be eradicated, and the Dangerous Trigger is not just a means, but, you know, I feel like I've seen a direction to become stronger."

"You never thought, what if I can completely master that state?" Ron said with burning eyes. "Yes, if I can completely master the power of full Henshin, it will only mean more to me, because this also means that even you will have to look at me with new eyes."

"Calm down, Ron, the story of Mr. Shoichi also told us that the power of so-called full Henshin is unsafe, and it is harmful to the body!" Harry seemed to have grasped a key point of the problem. "You don't have to think that I will look at you with new eyes. I have always known that you are a true strong person, you are just in a bad state recently!"

"Alright, let's see what happens on Saturday," Ron smiled, but he didn't seem to have given up on that idea.

What made Harry feel a bit unexpected was that on Saturday, he saw Alan with his usual confident smile, and another slightly familiar girl figure followed behind him.

"Why?" Harry walked up and grabbed Hermione. "Didn't you agree not to wade into this muddy water?"

"I'm sorry, Harry, I really need OOO," Hermione lowered her eyes and whispered. "This is just a transaction of mutual utilization."

"Ah?" Harry didn't react for a while.

"I know this might look a bit stupid to you... but, I'm thinking," Hermione's eyes were red. "I want to fulfill Alina's wish."

"What?"

"She wrote back to me and explained. It's true that she didn't contact me before because she was afraid I'd worry, but she was also really determined to participate in that experiment, even at the risk of losing control. She said that no matter what, she wanted to have power, wanted to have the power sufficient to control her own destiny," Hermione picked up her small bag. "And she also said, if she really loses control, she hopes that I will be the one to stop her in the end."

"For this point, I must have a Knight system. OOO is the closest and most suitable," Hermione regained her calm. "I have already talked to Alan. He will leave Hogwarts in a month, and by then I will become the new Henshin user of OOO."

"This—" Harry couldn't help but get angry. If it was just Alina voluntarily risking her life, that would be one thing, but if Donald clearly had a foolproof plan and still used this kind of low-level sensationalism to deceive Hermione, just to hit Ron—thinking of this possibility, Harry felt his temples throbbing. Now, he felt Cui Ge had one more reason he had to win.

"Never mind the rest, help me beat him up hard first," Cui Ge passed by, Harry said to him through gritted teeth.

"MaxHazardOn!" The response to him was the sound made by the Dangerous Trigger, and the distinct energy bottle read when the Dangerous Trigger was inserted into the belt, "Fang!"

"No problem," Cui Ge flipped his fingers, and another energy bottle was inserted into his waist, "Joker!"

A violent aura spread from him. ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
