Chapter 192 Secret
"It's broken. I'm lost. The right hand technique actually failed." Ma En said while looking at the mark he made.
Hermione next to her rolled her eyes: "I told you a long time ago that this wall will move..."
Ma En turned around and felt that the wall was not too thick, and he began to have bad ideas in his mind: "How about..."
"Go this way." Esther sighed and walked to the front to lead the way.
After twists and turns, it took the three of them more than half an hour to reach the exit. At this time, no group of people came out. Mrs. Huo Qi outside originally wanted to blow the whistle, but when she saw that it was the three of them again, Put the whistle back.
The game played by the three of Ma and En is somewhat different from that of normal little wizards. They did not encounter any little monsters blocking their way, nor did they encounter any strange questions. After answering, they will be given a hint on where to go, which is just simple. They played a maze, or in other words, they played a real maze. They relied on Esther's memory and calculation of the activity patterns of each board to get out of it.
Unlike when they were inside, which was completely soundproof, when they stood at the exit, they could hear the shouts of the little wizard coming from inside, and from time to time there were some sounds of chanting spells, which was a little noisy.
There is no referee in this game, and the blocking creatures in it can at best stun people and prevent them from getting hurt.
Soon the real number one appeared in front of them, Beauxbatons' school beauty Fleur Delacour. Marne never thought she was very beautiful, but the mixed-race Veela still had some natural allure.
"Team No. 1, Team No. 16, it took one hour and 7 minutes, congratulations!" Mrs. Huo Qi then took a small medal she made and put it around the neck of team leader Fu Rong.
In this competition, there was only one referee, Mrs. Huo Qi, who also served as the award giver. She very considerately made a few small signs.
As the first team came out, more and more people came out from behind. In about an hour, all the teams came out of the maze.
Mrs. Huo Qi began to call the roll, and Ma En planned to "clean up" the maze after the roll call. This space will be used in two days, so this place is reserved to occupy space.
"Number 17!"
"exist!"
"Team 18!"
"exist!"
...
"Team 100!"
"exist!"
"Number 101!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
Two voices with exactly the same tone of voice came from two corners at the same time.
Ma En, who lowered his head to chat with Esther, quickly raised his head and glanced at both sides. Two teams of identical people were in two corners.
He frowned, remembering something, and quickly pulled up a stone wall from the ground to separate the two teams of identical clones, preventing them from meeting each other.
"Dear?" Esther looked at Ma En who suddenly released his magic, feeling a little puzzled.
Marn called Patrick and asked him to bring Margaery over. He turned around and explained: "It may be a time turner. They can't be allowed to see each other."
"What's wrong, Marn?" Margery has already arrived at the scene. She was writing teaching materials just now, and Patrick suddenly brought her here. She hasn't figured out the situation yet.
Ma En explained to her the reason why he called her.
Margaery nodded slightly, clicked her fingers twice, then her face quickly turned a little pale, she pointed to the team on the left and said: "This team is the people who returned to the opening 2 minutes ago. They made some mistakes." Chazi couldn't change back, and their memories were deleted, so we don't know what happened."
"Did the entire team have a memory spell cast on them?"
"No, it's everyone present, except you three, me and Mrs. Huo Qi..."
Her voice was not loud, only she and Ma En could hear it.
Ma En thought about it for a moment: "In other words... someone was guarding near the exit, sent them back two hours ago, and then stood guard at the door to let them from the future come over to take over the present ones, and erase their memories... Is that right? "
"It may be that their memories have been cleaned very clean. Although the traces are obvious,... the most important information is missing."
“You can’t see what they’re going through, can you?”
"Yes."
Ma En blew out a hot breath through his nose, and a spark fell on the ground. The little wizards below who were wondering why he separated the two sides were all chattering about what happened.
But soon there was a scream from the right, and the people there disappeared.
This time, I didn’t use the Marne search. A chubby, somewhat bald man came out of the maze exit.
"Good afternoon, Marne," he said with a smile.
"Comptin...it turns out to be you."
Margaery looked into his eyes and frowned, as if she had seen something strange.
"Don't bother, Miss Langley, you can't see anything. A dead man has no thought."
"What do you mean?" Ma En frowned and looked at him.
"I am just a corpse now, a corpse that can move and talk, but my soul," he tapped his head lightly with his wand, "is already somewhere else, even if you can see it Whatever I ordered, I left it forcibly for you to see."
"Comptin, I thought you were from our side."
"Of course, of course, I was still standing with you just before the holiday, but if I die... who wouldn't be afraid of death?"
This sentence is somewhat contradictory, but Marn can understand it. Marn has seen him before, probably similar to Lockhart, but his appearance has not changed withered...
"Were you...sucked away by Voldemort?"
Comptin shook his head: "I have to thank you for this, Marn. You don't know how much black magic he created to deal with you, and you don't know how scary those black magic are to ordinary people like us."
Ma En was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'm not interested in hearing your thoughts. Tell me what you have done."
"Nothing, just put a seed in their body, that's all."
"seed?"
"Yes, they will become like me when the time is right...for example, when their parents insist on staying here."
"Then why did you use the time turner to remove their memories?"
"For fun?" Comptin pinched his chin and rubbed it slowly before laughing, "Or...I did something else? Need a little time? Of course I know you can remove their magic and destroy the seeds, but this is just In the beginning, it was just a warning, a warning to you and their parents."
"You are such a bastard... Comptin..."
"From a human to this ghost, your thoughts will always change... Goodbye, Marn, my good friend."
Comptin didn't wear a hat on his head, but he still made a weak gesture of taking off his hat, and then fell to the ground stiffly.
