Chapter 116 No
Dark night.
Through the thick clouds, the scattered moonlight left only a shallow halo.
Under the transparent invisibility cloak, the young man's face was as cold as the cold wind. Although the black hair on his forehead somewhat dissipated this feeling, his brown eyes intensified the solemnity.
The suitcase floated quietly beside him, moving with his movements.The cold wind could not blow away the invisibility cloak on his body. It could only let the tail end sway a few times and then continue to wrap it securely around his body.
Karan ran quickly in the dense woods. The thorns and branches could not block his path. With the slightly exposed tip of the stick and a slight "split", they always broke off at the right time and fell into the cold cold air. on the ground.
His body was not disturbed in any way. Whenever he landed, after his toes left the ground again, his whole body would glide in the low air for a short distance, just over those complicated obstacles.
He has become more comfortable in using the floating spell without a wand.
"Fractured."
The tip of the ash wood stick in his hand shot another spell, and Karan finally glided out of the jungle where Wolf had lived, landing at the edge of the clearing where Larry was found.
It's finally out.
He thought silently in his heart.
All that was left to do next was to follow the direction of the Thestrals and continue to leave the Forbidden Forest.
But just when Karan turned around, he suddenly paused.
On the other side of the clearing, among the dense oak forest, a black figure slowly floated out.
Karan's heart skipped a beat. Before he could see the other person's appearance clearly, he immediately backed away from the gap behind him. The wand hidden under the invisibility cloak was still pointed in the opposite direction.
how is this possible......
This familiar scene couldn't help but make him think of it. The imaginary black figure wearing a hood appeared so suddenly that he had no time to respond.
No, it can't be Voldemort
Karan suddenly stopped. The signs of injuries to Larry and Andromeda were clearly visible. There were no scars on their bodies, and they still retained a trace of life, so they were not completely dead.
If it were Voldemort, it would be impossible to waste time doing such a thing.
After thinking for a moment, Karan gradually slowed down. He squinted his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the black figure in the distance, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
It seems a little familiar.
The black witch robe and this floating appearance...
At this time, the clouds finally drifted across the surface of the moon, and the silver brilliance spread to the earth again.
Karan took this opportunity to finally see clearly what the other party looked like.
His long black hair fell to the ground, his face was like a skeleton, his eyes and mouth were hollow, and his exposed skin was glowing green. His appearance was like a zombie that Meadows once talked about.
The other party's gaze seemed to be faintly directed towards Karan who was hiding under the invisibility cloak.
The moment he saw the opponent clearly, Karan immediately ran behind him without looking back, even faster than before.
At the same time, he covered his ears tightly with both hands, not daring to leave any gaps.
This is a female ghost.
No wonder......
"what"
Before Kalando could think any more, a strange and terrifying sound suddenly sounded from behind him.
Karan's body staggered suddenly, and he ran away without his life, covering his hands even harder.
It wasn't until he couldn't hear any more sounds that he panted and stopped beside a pine tree.
A small glass bottle floated out of his pocket. While unscrewing it, Karan knocked on the suitcase beside him. After a while, the same frequency sound came from inside.
This is the secret code he and Steve have agreed upon, which is used for the most basic communication.
"It's a really nice suitcase. Even the screams of female ghosts can't penetrate it."
After unscrewing the glass bottle, Karan drank a small amount carefully and suddenly became much more energetic.
This bottle of potion is the perfect sobering potion that Lily made originally. After Karan asked for it, she kept it in her pocket.
"Sure enough, it has a similar effect to Mandrake's cry. In addition to the terrible fatal effect, there is only a slightly less serious coma."
"Just like Larry and Andromeda today."
At this time, Karan finally confirmed who the so-called attacker was.
It's this female ghost, a dark creature.
After Meadows received complaints for harming Callan, he joined some classes on creatures of the dark, including ghosts. Chapter 55
The creature looks like a woman, but hearing its cry is deadly.
But this is not absolute, because at the Halloween dinner, there was a female ghost in the choir of "witch singer" Celestine Warbeck. Chapter 90
But the students at that time did not encounter any danger. At most, their hair stood on end.
This is why Karan felt that figure was familiar, because he was also at that dinner and was deeply impressed by the strawberry pudding that night.
"As for Andromeda and Larry, they were probably attacked by this female ghost. In other words, they were affected."
When faced with this kind of female ghost that has not been communicated with in advance, their screams can be fatal.And the reason why Andromeda and Larry survived was probably because the female ghost at that time had no intention of deliberately causing harm, just like the female ghost in the choir.
But despite this, the two were accidentally affected, and even an effective counterattack could not be made in time.
This is because female ghosts are a kind of non-existence.
This is a type of magical creature that transcends life and death itself, neither being born nor dying.
Non-being is born of and feeds on human emotions.
They are able to fly without physical assistance, something wizards are almost unable to do.
Although this is far from Voldemort's ability to fly, which can only be called floating, but even so, non-existence is quite difficult to deal with.
Peeves, the mischievous elf at Hogwarts Castle.
Become the Boggart that people fear.
And Dementors.
In contrast to these, the female ghost does not even need to appear in front of the wizard if it is not expected in advance, and its cry is enough to be full of fatal danger.
It was under such circumstances that Andromeda and Larry were affected, but their lives were not endangered.
"From this point of view, they should not be in any danger. It is just the scream of a female ghost. Although it is not the same as mandrake, they can still find the right treatment method."
"It's not difficult."
After thinking about all this, Karan reached out and knocked on the suitcase a few more times.
At this time, he had already bypassed that road and rushed back to the edge of the Forbidden Forest from the other direction.As for the way to identify the direction, it is also very simple. I only need a directional spell. The spell shows me the way.
"We're going back to the castle."
After the suitcase opened a slight gap, Karan said to the eyes of Steve and Wolf, who were also exposed: "I suggest not to return to the Forbidden Forest for the time being, and we should not go there again to avoid Encounter similar dangers again.”
Steve turned around and communicated with Wolf for a while, then nodded and said, "Wolf said it's okay."
"By the way," Steve asked curiously before the suitcase was about to close, "Have you seen who the attacker is?"
Karan looked calm.
"No."
The suitcase closed again and floated beside Karan as before.
His whole body was shrouded in an invisibility cloak, and he strode towards the castle.
Karan didn't remember any female ghost appearing in the Forbidden Forest.
But that doesn't seem to be that important anymore.
Because in addition to the basic wearing of earmuffs, there is another way to resist female ghosts.
Laughter potion.
