Chapter 140 Escape Game 2
Ved touched a pumpkin leaf next to him with his wand, and the leaf turned into a brass bell.
He rang the bell, attracting everyone's attention.
"Well, let me announce the rules."
"This is the first time we play this game, so we can keep the rules simple."
"Everyone is divided into two camps. Fred, Harry, and I are the black team, responsible for the hunt."
"The rest of you are the white team, you can flee, hide, and of course fight back."
"Hagrid is the referee."
"The game time is thirty minutes. After the whistle blows, you have one minute to hide or prepare. One minute later, the black team starts the 'hunt'."
"After thirty minutes, if anyone in the white team survives, the black team fails; if no one in the white team survives, the black team wins!"
"The rules are - no evil spells are allowed, no magic items other than wands are allowed, being hit by a spell is considered 'death', and the 'corpse' is not allowed to provide any form of help to companions."
"A group that violates the rules will be considered a failure immediately."
"Is everything clear?"
Everyone nodded, and Fred blew a whistle: "Let's get started! I can't wait!"
Hagrid brought a big rock in advance, and he climbed on it and sat down, so that the whole venue was in his sight.
"Children, are you all ready?"
"Yes!"
The little wizards who had already divided into two groups raised their wands and shouted loudly, even Hermione and Padma couldn't help but shout.
"Okay then." Hagrid smiled happily, held the whistle in his mouth, and blew it hard!
"Beep--"
A clear and sharp whistle sounded, and the white team immediately ran in all directions along the gaps between the pumpkins.
As for how to hide or fight back, everyone had already had an idea in the past few minutes.
Hagrid stared at the pocket watch seriously, and after a minute, he blew the whistle again.
"Black team, let's go!"
The three people in the black team did not set off immediately.
Wade and Harry immediately cast the Shield Charm on themselves, and Fred shouted: "Wow! Shield Charm... I don't even know it yet!"
"Do you need help?" Wade pointed his wand at him.
"Thanks." Fred said. After Wade cast the Shield Charm on him, he looked down and asked, "It seems to be different from the ordinary Shield Charm?"
"Wade's Shield Charm can last about ten minutes." Harry reminded, "Ordinary spells can block two or three."
"Then I understand." Fred said, looking at the tall pumpkin next to him, and asked, "Can I climb on this?"
Wade said, "If there is no law prohibiting it, it is possible."
So Fred climbed up.
"Want to go together?" Wade asked Harry.
Harry shook his head: "Only thirty minutes, it will be faster to search separately... I don't want to lose."
"Okay, good luck."
Wade didn't hesitate and immediately chose a direction to walk. Harry walked along another narrow road.
It was very quiet around.
The tall pumpkins looked like small houses.
The air was filled with the fragrance of plants, and vines intertwined underfoot, connecting invisible traps.
Harry didn't want to lose, and Wade naturally didn't want to lose either. Even if his opponents were all students, he would go all out.
Wade tapped his wand on his head, and his body immediately became invisible among the pumpkins like a chameleon.
He pointed down again, and the faint footsteps disappeared.
He searched along the winding road for a few minutes, and then heard a burst of rapid breathing and smelled a faint fragrance.
Padma hid behind the pumpkin, holding the wand tightly in her right hand, and occasionally looked out to see if anyone was looking for her.
She didn't see the wand so close at hand until a red light suddenly appeared in her sight!
"Bang!"
The thin invisible armor shattered like a soap bubble, and the girl was hit by the spell and fell directly.
Before she lost consciousness, she thought angrily and puzzledly: "Why didn't I see anyone?"
...
"Just half an hour... just hold on for half an hour!"
Hermione muttered, while quickly moving a few pumpkins together to form a crude barrier.
Then she pulled a few more vines together and looked out through the gap.
No matter who passed by nearby, she could take action in advance and take advantage of the opportunity!
"Petrification!"
When Hermione heard Fred whispering the spell, the petrification spell had already fallen from the sky!
She looked back in surprise, and when she fell like a stone sculpture, she saw Fred squatting on the pumpkin, grinning:
"Several pumpkins are so close together, it's too conspicuous to see from above, Hermione!"
"Petrification!"
Another petrification spell flew out from the side and hit Fred.
George jumped out and looked at his brother, and was about to cheer for victory, but he was hit by the spell right after.
"Fortunately, there is the Shield Charm."
Fred muttered, picked two leaves and covered George's surprised eyes.
"You are a corpse now, brother."
Fred said proudly, stood up and continued to "hunt down".
"Fall unconscious!"
Two or three spells flew from the side at the same time, the armor broke with a "pop", and Fred fell next to his brother in the same posture.
George, who could only move his eyes, blinked happily.
"Sorry, we can't undo the spell for you right now."
Theo apologized and immediately ran in the other direction.
He, Michael, Neville, and Ryan only separated at first, and soon reunited.
"There are fewer people in the black group and more people in the white group. Vader is looking down on our strength!"
Michael said seriously: "We must teach them a lesson and be a gangster next time!"
The remaining three nodded seriously.
No matter how good the relationship is usually, now they are all rivals!
…
Hearing the sound coming from the other direction, Harry immediately knew that he must be looking in the wrong direction.
He distinguished it carefully, then ducked and moved quickly in the other direction.
When he turned a pumpkin, he was caught off guard and looked into Ryan's eyes.
Ryan, who was setting up a trap with Michael, was stunned for a moment before shouting: "He's here!"
Harry didn't know he could react so quickly.
Before he had any consciousness in his mind, his hands and feet began to move on their own——
"Expelliarmus!"
Ryan's wand flew out.
Two spells flew over each other. Harry tripped over a vine while dodging. He rolled forward and threw the spell before he could get up!
"Fainted! Fainted! Fainted!"
The light of the spell flew, one flew towards the sky, one hit the pumpkin and bounced back to Theo, and another hit Neville.
"Outflank him!"
Michael yelled and ran over from both sides with Ryan!
