"Harry, are you too sleepy? Think about the books we have been searching for in the library for a long time..." Hermione said worriedly, watching Harry's abnormal behavior desperately searching around in the empty corridor.

"No," said Harry madly, "that voice! That, that voice said...didn't you hear it?"

Ron and Hermione were stunned and stared at him.

"...I'm so hungry...I've been a long time..." The voice became weaker and weaker. Harry was sure it was moving, but the speed was too fast. He hadn't yet distinguished which direction he was moving, and the sound could no longer be heard.

In the end, he had to quickly leave the corridor on the second floor with full of doubts and strange eyes. Even he was wondering if he was really exhausted and had no meals, so he had hallucinations?

...

...

"…I smelled the smell of blood…I smelled the smell of blood!…Murdered…it’s time…”

"What?!" Pei Chen was yawning and sorting out the manuscript, hoping to make another skill book, but he hadn't been able to close his eyes for several days, and his sleepiness was rising, and his brain was not so enlightened. After hearing this sentence in a daze, he casually said and continued to do his own thing.

Two or three seconds later, he suddenly stiffened all over and screamed strangely: "Damn! What was that just now?"

Pei Chen, who realized it later, realized that the words he heard were the hissing of snakes, but because he also knew the words of snakes, he understood it all at once, and he had not noticed something was wrong for a while.

Of course, it is also possible that he has been confused by the manuscript he compiled himself.

Pei Chen suddenly stood up, and his movements were so great that he knocked over the chair behind him, but he ignored it at all, but closed his eyes instead. In an instant, the spiritual power field spread out to the maximum extent, but because of the suppression of the castle itself, it only barely spread to a range of more than 100 meters and less than 200 meters.

However, even though he was so fast, he missed the first move before, but he did not catch anything and everything was normal.

"Tsk! Is it running so fast?" Pei Chenqiang cheered up. He didn't believe that he had an hallucination just now. Not to mention anything else, just in his gravitational field perception, there was indeed a long strip of things with very large mass that quickly slid over. This is absolutely nothing wrong. After all, no matter how powerful the hallucination is, it is impossible to be so outrageous.

He pressed the things on the table with heavy objects, closed the window, pulled the curtains, and then opened the door and walked out.

Recalling the general direction of the massive object just now when passing through his gravitational field, Pei Chen thought about it, turned left as soon as he went out, and his mental power was fully activated and began to scan the surroundings continuously. He had reason to suspect that a terrible big snake passed by here just now, which aroused his interest.

However, he cannot be eaten as a food. He is already very tired, and his mental power value is at a low point. Now he has turned on a radar to search in a large range, and it is not a standardized use of skills. The consumption of mental power is like the flowing water with the gate open, which cannot last too long.

In addition, Hogwarts Castle itself is crazy and often changes and changes are made on its own. It is really hopeless to find the big snake that comes from where it is unknown!

However, Pei Chen was not disappointed. He didn't feel that a big snake that suddenly appeared and whose body was much larger than his current demon body would really walk through the entire castle silently without leaving any trace. Not to mention anything else, as long as one person saw it, he could find clues.

Just when he felt that his mental power had fallen to a critical point, he was hesitating whether he needed to go back and take a break. When he came back, footsteps came from behind him. The Gryffindor trio appeared at the corner of the corridor behind him and saw him.

"Professor Lyle!"

Pei Chen turned around and couldn't help but yawn again: "Ah, it's you! Why are you so late? What are you doing?"

"We're going to the library..." Hermione replied, looking very annoyed. "Several books of "Hogwarts, a school history" have been borrowed. The person who registered to borrow did not say when they would pay it back. When I asked Mrs. Pins, she refused to say..."

"Professor Lyle, what are you looking for?"

Harry couldn't help asking when he saw Pei Chen looking around and listening intently. He didn't know what he was looking for.

"Oh--this!" Pei Chen didn't care and answered the question casually. "When I was in the office just now, I suddenly heard a strange sound, so I chased him out. But now I can't find it everywhere, it's really strange... Uh, why are your expressions so weird? Is something happening?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Harry said ecstaticly: "Professor Lyle, have you heard it too? That voice, that voice said-"

"'Other'?!" Pei Chen reiterated the pronunciation of the word strangely, and suddenly remembered something he had forgotten, that is, Harry knew the snake language like Salazar Slytherin a thousand years ago. If it were him, it would be not difficult to understand that the low hissing sound could be heard and automatically understood as normal.

"That voice really exists? Isn't it Harry's hallucination?" Ron opened his mouth, and his words made Harry extremely angry. Can he still play happily?

"Ha, probably not." Pei Chen chuckled and explained to Harry, gaining the boy's gratitude gaze, but the next moment, the two people who could hear the snake speech were both pricking their ears at the same time, and the expressions on their faces also frozen.

"It's going to kill!" Harry shouted suddenly, and then climbed the stairs in three or two steps, regardless of the confusion on Ron and Hermione's faces.

Before the other two people could react, they felt a blue shadow flash in front of them, and even Professor Lyle disappeared in an instant. They turned their heads and looked, only to see the dark blue clothes floating over the corner of the stairs that Harry had just rushed up.

So fast! They were shocked and then they chased after them.

Harry ran around the third floor, and Professor Lyle floated more like a ghost. Ron and Hermione followed behind breathlessly, and the four men kept turning around a corner and came to the last empty aisle.

"Harry, what's going on?" Ron said, wiping the sweat off his face. "I can't hear anything..."

"Oh my god! That..." Hermione suddenly took a breath of air conditioning, and tremblingly stretched out a white and pink finger to point ahead, "Look, Professor Lockhart...what is going on?!"

The corridor in front of them was empty, but at the end, there was a figure standing there quietly, without moving. Although the torch on the wall was a little dim and faint, both Hermione and Pei Chen could see the figure clearly at a glance and quickly met the number in the database in their minds.

Gidro Lohart, the new professor of dark magic defense at the school.

"Is it really him? Hermione, you won't admit your mistake, right?" Harry still felt that the scenery in the distance was blurred, so he said in such a puzzled way.

"It's not wrong. He just gave us the first class this morning! Have you forgotten?" Hermione said sharply.

Pei Chen walked slowly, squinting his eyes and carefully identifying it in the darkness. Finally, he saw clearly that it was Mr. Gidro Lohart, but he kept smiling at a pair of clean and bright armor and fiddling with his hair. His body was as stiff as a wooden board, his eyes wide open and staring straight.

There was no more anger on his body, and it was like a realistic wax man, or a stone carving.

Behind Pei Chen, Gryffindor and the other two approached carefully. Harry almost slipped, but Ron and Hermione grabbed him. After seeing what it was, the three of them stood motionless for several seconds. Then Ron said, "Let's get out of here quickly."

As a result, Hermione's glare.

"Should you try to rescue me? Professor Lyle." Harry said not very fluently.

"Listen to me," said Ron, who insisted on his own idea. "We don't want to be discovered here, and it's Lockhart anyway... Well, I won't say it anymore, Hermione, don't glare at me!"

Pei Chen thought quietly, and the three of them had to stand quietly aside, not daring to breathe. After about a minute, Pei Chen suddenly said something stupid: "There are words on the wall!"

There was something shining on the wall in front of them, but because the stone statues of the Lockhart brand were too eye-catching at the beginning, they didn't notice it at the first time. The three of them slowly approached, squinted their eyes and carefully identified them in the darkness. Between the two windows, on the wall one foot high from the ground, there were some writings, and the emblem light shining under the reflection of the burning torches-

“The secret room was opened.

Be alert if you are enemies of the heirs.”

“…”

The crowd was strangely silent for a moment, and finally Ron said in a trembling voice: "Secret Room? What is that... what?"

"I don't know," Pei Chen shook his head, stretched out his hand to touch Gidro Lohart, but the touch felt cold and stiff, really like a stone. "Well, I'm indeed petrified. I don't know if it's an advanced petrification curse or something else. I can't get rid of such a negative state...but there may be a rescue."

The demonic power easily invaded the body of the stone statue and quickly flowed away in the various veins of the petrified Professor Black Magic Defense Technology body. Pei Chen came to this conclusion. He looked around and said, "Well, this is Professor Gidro's office nearby. Let's find a way to move him back first, so don't let other students discover it... Uh, it's too late."

A low noise and playful sound of students, like the sound of thunder in the distance, made the three of them pale in an instant. From one end of the corridor where they were, the sound of several feet climbing up the stairs came, and then, several female students, who were obviously Gryffindor, pushed and squeezed into the corridor from the end of the corridor.

When they saw the stiff Professor Gidro Lohart's unsightly slutty stone statue, in an instant, all the lively and chirping sounds suddenly disappeared. The air seemed to have some kind of terrifying deterrence, terrible quiet!

Pei Chen sighed in his heart, then raised his hands and blocked his ears.

The next moment, several sopranoes made a grand debut—
Chapter completed!
