"It's over, the door is locked." Ron's sobbing voice came from outside. "We are finished, we are going to die!"
"Oh... come here!" It was a somewhat rough voice.
Kyle looked out the door, frowned, and put on his invisibility cloak again.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
The lock clicked and the door flew open.
The next second, four panicked little wizards rushed in, turned around, closed the door, and put their ears to it.
After a while, Ron whispered, "He thought it was locked. I don't think anything will happen..."
"Ron, I have a bad feeling."
Harry took a deep breath and said, "Remember those growls we heard just now? I thought they came from this room... What's wrong, Neville?"
As they were talking, Harry noticed that Neville had been pulling at his sleeves. He turned around and found that Neville's face had suddenly turned pale, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead.
Without asking, Harry quickly knew why Neville became like this.
He saw the three-headed dog.
Because he was disturbed while eating, Lu Wei was in a very unhappy mood at the moment. He looked at the little wizards in front of him, and all three heads roared angrily at the same time.
Ron and Neville were both dumbfounded. They stood there stupidly. Although they wanted to run quickly, their calves were shaking uncontrollably.
At the critical moment, it was Harry who reacted the fastest. He fumbled to open the door behind him, and ran out with Hermione, dragging Ron and Neville.
Lu Wei didn't chase after him. He just roared twice symbolically and then lowered his head to eat jerky again.
But Harry and his friends didn't know that, just like the seniors before them, they fled from the fourth floor without looking back.
They ran all the way to the portrait of the Fat Lady and stopped panting.
"Where have you all been?" asked the Fat Lady. "What day is today? Including the two just now, there are actually six little wizards going out for a night walk."
"Don't ask..."
"Pig nose, pig nose..."
The pig's nose was the command, and the Fat Lady, without further questioning, swung forward and opened the door. They stumbled into the common room and sank trembling into the armchairs.
For a long moment, no one spoke, least of all Neville, who looked as if he would never speak again.
"It's strange..."
Hermione caught her breath and spoke first, "Did you notice that the dog was eating at that time?"
"Yeah, it almost ate us," Ron said fearfully, "It must have been thinking about how to eat us all in one bite."
"What are your eyes for?" Hermione said angrily. "I mean it was eating before we went in, and it was three servings of packaged food."
"What does that mean?" Harry asked.
"Don't you guys use your brains to think about it?" Hermione said impatiently: "Remember those roars we heard on the road?
This means that someone had entered the room before us, and that person had used food to appease the three-headed dog. He must have done so for a purpose."
"You think too much. We should thank him." Ron patted his chest and said, "If he hadn't delivered food to the three-headed dog in advance, we would probably..."
"Didn't you notice where the three-headed dog was standing?" Hermione demanded.
"On the floor?" Ron said nonchalantly. "I didn't look at its feet. I was only looking at its head. You may not have noticed that it has three heads."
"It's not on the floor, it's on the trapdoor. It's obviously guarding something."
"Guarding things?"
"Yes!" Hermione stood up and glared at them angrily.
"If you two don't mind, I'm going to bed now... before any of you come up with some clever plan to get yourself killed, or worse... get fired!"
Ron stared at her back, his mouth open in surprise.
"Which one is worse? She really should think it over carefully."
the other side.
After Harry and the others left, Kyle lifted the invisibility cloak again. He walked to Fluffy and tried to open the trap door under him.
At first, Lou Williams pressed on it tightly and refused to let Kyle pass no matter what.
It didn't move its claws until Kyle took out Fox's feather.
"Look, I told you I was here on behalf of Dumbledore, but you refused to believe me."
Kyle said with a straight face: "As punishment, you won't get any Motla rat jerky next time."
When Lou Williams heard this, he got anxious and started rolling on the ground. Then he moved closer to Kyle, and the three big heads looked at him pitifully.
If a tabby cat had made that expression, Kyle would have had no resistance.
But Lou Williams was too ugly and not suitable for this style at all. Kyle felt his forehead throbbing just after looking at him for a second.
In order to have some peace and quiet and for the sake of his own eyes, Kyle could only take out a large bag of Motla rat jerky and throw it aside.
Lu Wei ran over happily.
Kyle ignored it and opened the trapdoor and looked down.
But it was pitch black down there, and I couldn't see anything.

Chapter 158 The Lazy Professor
Kyle took out his wand and reached under the trapdoor.
"Lumos!"
In the blinding white light, Kyle could vaguely see a mass of green vines curled up just below the trapdoor.
"It really is the Devil's Snare."
Kyle put away his wand and called Fluffy.
"Just stay here. If Dumbledore brings someone here later, call me loudly."
"Woooo..."
Lu Wei, who had just finished eating jerky, nodded obediently.
Kyle patted its big head and jumped down from the trapdoor.
"thump……"
The soft devil's net held Kyle firmly like a hammock.
Feeling the soft snake-like tendrils on his body, Kyle did not struggle at all and just lay there quietly.
Three seconds later, the tendrils loosened and Kyle touched the ground. He turned over and stood up, looking at the devil's snare in front of him with a strange expression.
I really don't know what Professor Sprout was thinking. He actually chose to use this thing as a level. It would be better to pick a plant out of Greenhouse No. 3 with your eyes closed than this.
The Devil's Snare sounds very intimidating, but its weaknesses are too obvious. It is afraid of light and fire. A simple lighting spell can render it ineffective.
I don’t know what Professor Sprout was thinking. This level is obviously meant to stop others from moving forward, but he arranged a devil’s snare as a cushion. This is such a waste.
Kyle looked up and around, took a deep breath, and shouted:
"Whose Devil's Snare is this?"
……
There was complete silence all around, with only a few intermittent echoes.
Whose Devil's Snare...
Devil's Snare...
network……
Hearing the noise, Lu Wei curiously stuck his head out and took a look down.
"It's none of your business, go back!"
Lu Wei whimpered and retracted his head in dismay.
Kyle cleared his throat and continued shouting:
"Ahem...Whose Devil's Snare is this? If no one wants it, I'll take it away!"
……
Still no one answered.
After completing the process, Kyle nodded, took out a box from the leather bag, spread it out and placed it on the ground.
Ten seconds later, he had stuffed the entire Devil's Snare plant, including the pot and the mud, into the box.
After doing all this, Kyle clapped his hands and walked towards the next level with the box.
Following a stone corridor, Kyle came to a brightly lit room.
But the room was empty, there was nothing in it, and walking forward was a heavy wooden door.
Kyle pulled the handle and the door opened.
"..."
This... Professor Fuwei is being lazy.
Looking at the dark room in front of him, Kyle hesitated whether to continue moving forward.
It is not difficult to guess from the current situation that, except for Lu Wei and Devil's Snare, the other levels should not have been completed yet.
If we just go back like this, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?
"Forget it, now that we are here, let's see what happens."
Kyle shook his head and took a step forward.
As soon as he stepped in, the originally dark room suddenly became brightly lit.
Looking at the chessboard at his feet and the chess pieces around him that were taller than him, Kyle's mood suddenly improved a lot.
