Chapter 63 Stimulation
Harry walked in a passage about ten feet wide, with mottled walls on the left and right that reached the ceiling.
It was even darker here than before, and the only glimmer of light was just enough to allow people to see their fingers clearly, because Harry bumped into the wall when turning, Harry remembered that he could still use his wand to make some light .
The surroundings are so quiet that one can hear one's own heartbeat, and in the dark and endless corridor, a cloud of white mist floats from time to time, which looks a bit like the fluorescence emitted by ghosts.
This maze is like a magical relic buried deep underground for thousands of years. The water seeping from the walls nourished the large green moss growing in the corners, and also made the dark brown floor tiles extremely slippery. To avoid falling, Harry turned to the side. He moved his body step by step, looking funny like a crab.
The road behind him quickly disappeared into darkness, and the road ahead was still at a loss. Harry, who was pale, had to admit that this maze, which had an atmosphere similar to that of a tomb, was the scariest place he had ever seen in his life!
"Could it be that Professor Brian has personally explored this maze?"
The ethereal silence and panic made it difficult to figure out the speed of time passing. Harry felt that he had been wandering in this seemingly endless maze for an hour, but in fact, he might have only been in it for less than 2 minutes.
"At least, you can't lose to Malfoy—"
Harry pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the constant urge to turn around and continue exploring.
The area covered by the fluorescent light emitted by the wand is a stereotyped scene, but it is this boring and boring picture that invisibly catalyzes a person's imagination of scary pictures to the extreme. Harry can hardly imagine, and Ron Or how Hermione will behave after entering this maze, and Neville, I am afraid that he will faint here directly.
"Could it be that in this kind of ghost place, Professor Brian deceived everyone and he just wanted to scare everyone with this gloomy maze?"
Gritting his teeth and walking forward for a while, Harry, who has never encountered any kind of breathing creature, popped this idea into his mind, but thinking about Professor Brian's behavior style, he felt that such a possibility existed. The odds are slim.
The surroundings became even more gloomy. With the help of the wand's fluorescence, Harry could see that every breath he exhaled formed a condensed mist in the air, feeling like walking into a cold room.
Tick, tick--
The further we walked, the more humid the air became, and Harry's hair was stained with countless fine drops of water.
Finally, a different scene appeared on the road ahead. Harry's heart was pounding non-stop. The only thing that gave him a sense of security was the wand in his hand and the cold and hard wall.
"It turned out to be just a small river."
After Harry finally saw what was on the ground, the hanging heart finally let go.
In the narrow corridor, a ten-foot-wide water channel lay across the ground, completely blocking Harry's way forward.
Why did Professor Blaine make a small canal here?
In the dim light, Harry stood on the embankment and carefully looked at the river, which was covered with dark green algae, with a large rotten log floating in the middle, and smelled like a stinking ditch. Questions arose in his heart.
The way back was still hidden in the darkness, Harry had a premonition that Snape was standing in an invisible place waiting to see his jokes, as long as he took a step back, he would immediately jump out with that disgusting look With a sneering face, he announced that he had lost the 'courage contest' with Malfoy!
Gryffindor, a symbol of courage, lost to people from Slytherin College in the contest of courage, and Harry felt that he would rather be drowned in the river in front of him than face such a 'terrible' ending.
call!
Harry let out a heavy breath and made up his mind, no matter what, he must not stop here!
Ten feet is not a distance that can be easily jumped, but as the youngest Hogwarts Seeker in the past century, Harry, who is covered in sports bacteria, is not difficult. He set his sights in the middle of the ditch On the rotten wood that squeezed the algae,
"Professor Blaine got a piece of wood here just to help us cross the river—"
Thinking of this, Harry took two steps back, took a deep breath, and then made a leap with all his strength, stepped heavily on the 'log' in mid-air, and easily jumped over the river ditch.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the current, it was colder than the tunnels he had explored before, and for no reason, Harry always felt that danger was approaching quietly, so when he came to the other side of the canal, he continued on without turning his head. Walking forward, the figure quickly disappeared nearby.
Tick, tick.
The water vapor in the air liquefied into water droplets when it met the wall, which was as warm as ice, and smashed into the center of the canal drop by drop, disturbing the piece of 'wood' that was sinking and floating in the water, which was used by Harry as a pedal. Under the influence of the water, the 'wood' floated to one side, and soon touched the bank of the canal.
No one noticed, in the boundless darkness, a hand of color and pure white marble suddenly emerged from the water, and was clasped on the solid ground.
The environment in the maze is not constant. Apart from the winding and twisting corridors, there are also some small rooms with semi-circular high domes. I don't know what they are for?
Relying on the first glimpse of entering the classroom, and the vague memory of the route and direction he walked, Harry judged that he had probably reached the center of the maze, which made him a little happy, because at least judging from the speed of progress , he is slightly better than Malfoy!
Now, in front of him was a straight corridor, and Harry raised his wand so that the fluorescent light from the tip could find it farther away, but everything within thirty feet was nothing new, only a few steps away Outside, a large damaged hole appeared on the ceiling, and the inside of the hole was also dark.
"Where did Professor Blaine discover such a place—"
Having come here, Harry is basically convinced that Professor Brian has probably restored a certain area he has been to. This kind of complex and detailed maze cannot be created entirely by imagination.
Thinking of this, Professor Brian's young and handsome face appeared in Harry's mind, as well as the smile that often hung on his face that seemed not to be disturbed by any accidents. He thought he already knew a little about Professor Brian, and Harry suddenly I realized that I never seemed to see his true face under the veil of mystery.
Compared with just now, Harry, who had gradually adapted to the darkness and silence, walked much more briskly.
He became more and more convinced that Professor Brian took painstaking efforts to get out of this eerie maze, just to test everyone's courage, those words in the corridor before and the magic contract he took out were just to make them feel Just nervous.
Think about it too, so far, the heirs of Slytherin have only petrified Filch's cat, Colin and Justin, but that's all, up to Principal Dumbledore, down to the professors of each subject They were all very nervous. If Professor Brian's words were really used to scare people, the little wizards might suffer casualties. I'm afraid no one would be able to bear such serious consequences.
Thinking about this, the oppressive and cold atmosphere around him became much more friendly. Harry wiped the sweat from his brow, and a smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Sly Professor Bryan!"
Harry muttered, he didn't forget that Professor Bryan set a 10-minute 'breakthrough time' for each group of people, if he didn't leave the maze before that, then he and Malfoy would be judged as If you fail, even if your 'maze exploration' progress is higher, there is nothing to be proud of.
Many thoughts flashed through Harry's head, for example, why there is no trace of Malfoy up to now, for example, will Snape break the rules and secretly point Malfoy to a more convenient way to get through the maze? The way. From what he knew of Snape, it wasn't impossible.
Thinking of this, Harry became a little irritable again. He rubbed his sore right shoulder, and prepared to speed up and leave here as soon as possible. But just before Harry started to take a step, a sharp, fearful sound suddenly came from the darkness ahead. The roar made Harry turn pale again!
