Chapter 127 Persuasion
Under the cloak of invisibility of silence.
After Callan gave the instruction, although Snape's thin face showed some hesitation, he still decided to follow silently.
But Lily didn't move.
Instead, she immediately grabbed the two of them tightly with her palms and mouthed to them: "Don't go!"
Obviously, this was already an incident that she felt was dangerous, and she didn't intend to let Callanhu do it.
Karan tried to shake his arm, but couldn't get away.
He blinked, pointed at Lily, and then pointed at the ground.
"You can stay here," he mouthed.
But Lily still didn't let go of her hand. She didn't only consider her own safety, but all three of them.
Snape looked at them left and right, not knowing what to do.
But tomorrow is the day of vacation, and Karan does not intend to delay it any longer.
He glanced at the black shadow floating in the distance, and finally mouthed to Lily: "Don't worry."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled his arm back. Lily was caught off guard and did not hold on to him tightly.
Then, she watched helplessly as Karan ran out of the invisibility cloak on his own initiative!
"you......!"
Lily almost cried out in anxiety. She glanced at Snape, who was still in a daze, and couldn't help but pat him hard.
"What are you waiting for? Chase after me!"
Before Snape could react, Lily was forcefully dragging him towards Karan!
In the dark forbidden forest, three people ran one behind the other.
Without the restraints of the invisibility cloak, Karan was much faster than them.
Lily really couldn't stand the slow speed. After once again avoiding the spreading thorns and branches, she simply pulled off the invisibility cloak and wrapped it into a ball.
This scene made Snape dumbfounded.
"But..." He couldn't help but say it out loud, but after realizing that Lily couldn't hear his voice, he immediately pointed at the invisibility cloak, and then pointed at the two of them respectively.
Lily was so angry that she slapped his finger away. She pointed at Karan who was still running in front of her, with an angry expression on her face. However, her speed did not slow down, but became faster and faster. Snape had no choice but to follow her silently.
They continued through the thick, dark woods.It wasn't until he reached a clearing that Karan slowly stopped.
After a short while, Lily and Snape finally caught up with him.Snape was panting out of breath. Lily looked a little more relaxed than him, but not much better.
She glared at Karan angrily, and while pulling Snape, tugged around the three of them, then unfolded the invisibility cloak again and covered the three of them.
Seeing Lily suppressing her anger and taking care of the two of them, Karan couldn't help but smile.But after Lily flapped her nose more and more angrily, he immediately calmed down the expression on his face, pretended to be serious, and carefully checked their earplugs, and then made a shushing gesture to signal them Look ahead and to the right.
In fact, there was no need for him to signal at all. The two of them felt the inexplicable and strange atmosphere as soon as they arrived at the open space.
In the woods not far away, the mysterious black shadow gradually emerged under the moonlight. Its long black hair was dragged to the ground, its face was like a skeleton, its eyes and mouth were hollow, and its exposed skin was glowing. green light.
Even though they couldn't hear any sound, Lily and Snape couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling.
They recognized each other the first time they saw each other's appearance.
This is a female ghost.
Only then did the two realize why Karan asked them to wear earplugs, because the scream of the female ghost was deadly, which was what they had learned in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Despite this, Snape couldn't help but become nervous. He cast a questioning look at Callan and wanted to carefully protect Lily behind him.
But Lily was obviously not the kind of girl who needed to be taken care of. She also took out her willow wand, with a determined expression on her face. Judging from her momentum, she seemed to be planning to take action immediately if she found something was wrong. Take the two of them away.
Karan gave them a reassuring smile. He fumbled in his pocket for a while, and finally took out a glass bottle filled with yellow potion.
It’s the laughter potion.
The two were stunned for a moment. They watched as Karan unscrewed the cork of the glass bottle. Then the glass bottle automatically floated in the air, left the invisibility cloak, and flew towards the female ghost.
At the same time, Karan grabbed a person with one hand and led them slowly towards the direction of the female ghost.
This time, Lily didn't refuse.
Because she knew that the laughter potion was specifically used to deal with female ghosts, she just didn’t expect Karan to be so well prepared.
It's like it was planned ahead of time.
On the way, as the three of them got closer to the female ghost, an uneasy atmosphere gradually rose in the air. Snape's face turned a little pale, and he felt as if his stomach was about to cramp.
At this time, the female ghost not far away seemed to notice something strange here. Its skull-like face turned around, frightening Lily and almost screaming, but she still covered her mouth in time and just let out a A muffled groan.
But this doesn't seem to work, because the female ghost is already floating in this direction.
Not the obvious glass bottle, but the three people hidden under the invisibility cloak.
Non-being arises from human emotions and feeds on these emotions.
The cloak of invisibility has no effect on non-being.
Because the female ghost doesn't need to see them, it just needs to feel them.
Lily and Snape paused for a moment, and they immediately looked at Karan.
Karan didn't look back, he just narrowed his eyes and stared at the female ghost.
Under the influence of specially enchanted earplugs, they could not hear whether the female ghost screamed.But while the hair slowly stood up, the glass bottle suddenly floated towards the charging female ghost, and poured all the laughter potion inside into its wide open mouth without any hindrance, without even a drop. waste.
The female ghost stopped.
Its mouth, which seemed to never be able to close, suddenly bent into an arc, and then its body began to tremble continuously.
It looked like he was laughing uncontrollably.
Following Karan's lead demonstration, the three of them took off their earplugs one after another, and sure enough they heard a series of laughter.
"Finally solved."
Karan took the glass bottle back and said, "In this way, the female ghost's scream will become a harmless laughter."
Snape frowned and looked at the female ghost. Although it was still laughing, its terrifying appearance still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Lily's expression was the same as Snape's. After looking up and down at the female ghost, she suddenly asked Karan.
"Did you already know that we would encounter a female ghost in the Forbidden Forest?"
Karan shook his head calmly.
"No, I just guessed a little bit. I'm not completely sure."
"I didn't know that there really was a female ghost in the Forbidden Forest."
"So I was fully prepared and planned to take a look at it on the last day of the semester."
Lily stared at him with a suspicious expression on her face. She obviously still didn't believe Karan's explanation.
"It's true." Karan smiled helplessly. He pointed at the female ghost and said, "And, with this opportunity, I can at least confirm that the laughter potion is really effective, right?"
"Anyway, this is the first newt-level potion that the three of us have prepared together."
Lily nodded. Now the appearance of the female ghost was obviously much more convincing than the toad laughing by the black lake.
At this time, Snape suddenly said: "Look, this female ghost... seems to be running away?"
