Chapter 167: Another double attack in the library

"Catch up? Have you forgotten? We have to play a game later." Harry said with disapproval.

The time is approaching 10:40 (meal time will change on game days). If I rush to the library now, I will definitely miss the game.

"I haven't forgotten, but I'm a substitute."

"Robin, the substitute is also very important. If Dobby makes trouble again and loses to Hufflepuff, Gryffindor will be very embarrassed."

Luo Bin: ╮(￣⊿￣)╭, no face? Last year, after beating Hufflepuff in the first few minutes, I thought the opponent was weak. Just wait, Cedric Diggory will know what a strong rival is as soon as he appears.

"Harry, Dobby has learned his lesson from last time and will not disrupt the game again. Don't underestimate the enemy. Just perform normally."

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the long corridor.

"Robin, come back quickly and Wood will curse you to death."

"Harry, stop shouting, it's useless. Hermione's style is to run to the library whenever she has doubts. Robin's style is that if you're sure of something, you can't even pull ten cows back. Let's go, hurry up It’s eleven o’clock.”

Harry sighed, "Okay."

On the other side, Robin turned into the long corridor and called out to Hermione from a distance of about a hundred meters away.

"Why are you following me?"

Hermione paused for a moment, and when Robin caught up with her, she asked as she walked forward.

Luo Bin looked up at the ceiling and said quietly: "I'm worried about you. You're going to chase the monster in the secret room, right?"

Hermione's eyes widened and she was so excited, "You guessed it right, the monster has been moving in the tube, right?"

"Harry always said that 'that voice' seemed to come from the walls and ceiling. No one had ever witnessed an attack, and no one had seen unknown creatures in the corridors and classrooms. I thought maybe The monster has been moving inside the walls and ceiling, so no one has seen it."

Luo Bin said.

Hermione snapped her fingers and said, "That's right. There are pipes embedded in the walls and ceiling of the castle. Using these pipes, you can go up and down the stairs quickly without any problem."

"Moreover, the ducts are not fully sealed. There are air outlets at regular intervals."

"I have carefully recalled that Mrs. Norris, Colin Creevey, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Ghost Nick all have a square air outlet on the ceiling of the corridor directly above the place where they happened."

"Also, Fenrirli's expression when he was petrified and fell to the ground was staring at the ceiling in horror."

"The pipes may be thick or thin, but the monster can come and go freely. This shows that its body is not too big when viewed horizontally. If it is not long when viewed vertically, it would not be in line with Slytherin's characteristics of ambition, arrogance, and arrogance. "

"Emm, what kind of creature is narrow and long?"

After Hermione frowned and pondered for two minutes, she suddenly reached out and slapped her forehead, "A snake is a snake, and the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a snake. Um, we shouldn't be looking through the Arachnida classification books. If we just looked through the snake books, maybe we would have figured it out a long time ago. What kind of snake is the monster?"

She took out a small mirror from her magic cloth bag and whispered: "The last direction Harry looked just now was this long corridor. We can use the mirror to look at the vent and peek at what the monster looks like."

Luo Bin: (╥╯^╰╥), Little Pepper is very smart and very motivated, but when encountering big events, or when she is too nervous and excited, she will do things without thinking. Otherwise, she will not be petrified by the Snake King.

Robin took the small mirror out of Hermione's hand, "In the three attacks, the monster didn't leave any traces, which means it never left the pipe when it hurt people. It would be very dangerous for you to stand under the air outlet. .”

Hermione took out a few small mirrors from the magic cloth bag, "We can use the reflection function of the mirror to stick a few small mirrors diagonally on the corridor floor and wall, so that I don't stand under the pipe vents. , you can also see what the monster looks like.”

Robin took action again and confiscated Hermione's small mirror, "Instead of putting up a small mirror, why not put some photo balls in it."

"No! When Colin had the accident, he was holding a Muggle camera in his hand. Professor McGonagall had doubted whether the camera would capture anything. However, as soon as the back cover of the camera was pried open, the camera burned and melted automatically."

After Hermione finished speaking, she put her little hand into the magic cloth bag again, groped around, and finally took out a ball of air.

"Give me back the mirror."

Hermione huffed when she couldn't find the small mirror in her bag.

Luo Bin stuffed the mirror into his arms (Sea of ​​Consciousness Space), raised his eyebrows and said, "I won't give it to you."

She was only one step away from the truth, but the mirror was snatched away. Hermione was so angry that her face turned red. She stretched out her hand to grab it. Robin hurriedly grabbed the clothes on his chest and ran forward. Hermione saw this and ran after him. Go up.

The two ran until they reached the end of the long corridor, then turned left and entered the dim corridor leading directly to the main door of the library on the first floor.

In the dim corridor, Robin suddenly stopped after running a few steps. After Hermione chased him, she grabbed the witch robe at his back and hit him on the back with her pink fist while saying, "Give me the mirror quickly. "

"No more! Hermione, there was another attack ahead." Luo Bin let out a long breath.

"Liar!"

"I really didn't lie to you!"

Hermione stuck out half of her head from behind Robin in disbelief. When she saw the terrifying scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she screamed uncontrollably.

"Hermione, do you want to go back and tell the professor, or come over and take a look?"

After the screaming stopped, Luo Bin asked warmly.

"Go and have a look."

"good!"

Then, Robin held the pale Hermione in his arms and slowly walked up to the female student with long curly hair.

The curly-haired female student lay motionless on the floor.

She held a small mirror in one hand and a comb in the other. Her head was slightly lowered, and her dull eyes were facing the small mirror held up to her chest. A look of horror was fixed on her face.

Next to the female student lay a petrified man, Argus Filch.

He was holding a mop in his hand, and there was an overturned aluminum bucket next to him, and a large pool of water flowed out.

His head was lowered, his dull eyes bulged out more than ever before, and his face had a complex expression of rage and terror.

Hermione looked at the long-handled small round mirror in the female student's hand, feeling like a small drum was beating violently in her chest, and she felt extremely flustered.

She shrank into Luo Bin's arms and sobbed: "You can't use a mirror to look at yourself, it almost ended up being me."

Robin hugged Hermione back, patted her back gently, and comforted her gently: "No, you are wearing the lucky bell flower necklace I gave you around your neck. No matter who the monster in the secret room looks for, it will not be found." "Fuck you"

Under Robin's comfort, Hermione's mood gradually stabilized. As soon as the two let go of their hands, they saw Professor McGonagall walking towards this direction from the library with a stack of books in her arms.

Wow~

After Professor McGonagall saw the situation in the corridor clearly, the book in her arms fell to the floor with a clatter.

She did not bend down to pick it up, but ran to the female student and Filch with a solemn expression.

"professor"
