Chapter 166： creepy murderer

It was late at night, and the lights everywhere in the castle gradually went out. England ushered in a rare good weather, a night without heavy rain and dark clouds, the stars shone on the earth, casting a mysterious veil on Hogwarts.

In the open space near the playground, the professors temporarily built a simple open-air chicken coop, and Hagrid lived in the log cabin next to it. In order to ensure his personal safety, there are no secret passages that can lead to water pipes nearby. And if the basilisk swam across the ground, the defensive spell arranged by Professor Flitwick would be activated instantly.

The army of roosters, provided by the generous Mr. Wallup, is currently huddled to sleep by the wall, although it is an open air environment, but Professor Sprout has placed a few pots of warm-blooded vines by the wall, which will heat up non-stop. .

In the wooden house, Hagrid walked out with a lantern. He stretched his neck and looked into the chicken coop surrounded by stone walls. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he walked back to the warm room.

Soon after, Hagrid's muffled snoring came from inside the house.

The stars in the night sky became brighter, and the cool night wind blew across the castle. Beside the stone wall, a rooster with his head tucked into his neck, perhaps a little cold, shook his head.

In an instant, without any warning, a sharp wound appeared in its throat. The rooster wanted to flap twice before dying, but for some reason, it didn't even have the strength to lift its wings.

There was a slight fluctuation in the air on the empty wooden roof.

In the chicken pen, with the fall of the first victim (victimized chicken), it was like a chain reaction. The sleeping roosters fell one by one, as if an invisible blade was constantly cutting open their throats.

Just when the prisoner took action on the next victim, a mutation occurred.

A faint light appeared on the nameplate that read "Wallup Farms Gifted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry", and an inspiring binding spell instantly enveloped the surrounding area.

The originally empty wooden roof, the transparent air twisted, and Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall lifted the invisibility cloaks on their bodies at once.

Two powerful wizards stretched out their wands, and the Manifestation and Patronus charms spewed from the tip.

However, the Manifestation Charm did not work, and no outlines appeared in the field.

The three silver cats belonging to Professor McGonagall scurried to the stone wall at once. The silver light on their bodies was brilliant, but nothing happened except to alarm the chickens.

"Invisibility Cloak?" Professor Flitwick frowned, then waved his wand, and the wind surged. However, apart from blowing chicken feathers, nothing was seen.

At the entrance of the castle, several other professors who had been hiding all along also quickly rushed to the scene.

"No one caught, Minerva?" Professor Sprout asked.

"Run..." Professor McGonagall's face was a little ugly.

They adopted Sean's idea this time. After borrowing Harry's Invisibility Cloak, the fit Professors Flitwick and McGonagall first hid in Newt's suitcase, and then crept up to the wooden roof. superior.

Among the chickens, Newt, who knew a little about alchemy, made a few temporary arrangements. He made a few nameplates into temporary magic props. As long as the rooster wearing the nameplate was attacked, the binding spell on it will start by itself.

In the plan, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will cooperate immediately after the binding spell is activated. In order not to let the heirs in the castle see the flaws, Sean even insisted that they found the president of the male and female student council whom they had trusted to drink the compound decoction and pretend to be two people, in order to deceive the heir behind the scenes.

But what the professors didn't expect was that the murderer would actually be invisible, and he wasn't trapped by the two's spell.

A gloomy Snape stepped forward. He grabbed a **** that had just died and gave it a look, then pulled out his wand and chanted a few more spells.

"The throat was simply cut by a sharp weapon. There is no poisoning or black magic." He said coldly.

Everyone else looked at Professor McGonagall, waiting for her to make a decision.

"We need to think of other ways. That guy who can be invisible is difficult to deal with, and our failure to return this time has also revealed our own purpose," Professor McGonagall said with a headache, "It should be fine tonight, leave alone. Come with Hagrid."

The professors looked at each other, everyone shivered when the cold night wind blew their necks.

…

"Didn't catch it?" In Professor McGonagall's office, Sean opened his mouth in surprise.

There shouldn't be a big problem with his own plan. Only a few people know about Harry's invisibility cloak. In order to prevent possible inner ghosts in the castle, he even used the compound decoction - you know, Snape I'm not happy to provide these things.

Professor McGonagall nodded, then told Sean all about last night.

After listening, Sean rested his chin with his hand.

The other party still shot, which means that there is no inner ghost in the castle, or in other words, the inner ghost does not exist at the professor level. Invisible enemy, but revealing spells, etc. don't work?

Sean couldn't understand, the magic world is amazing, but he has never heard of a creature that is not affected by magic spells, that triggering restraint spell should be able to hit...

Unless the opponent's speed is ridiculous... but it can't be a wizard, and there is no such invisible and extremely fast creature among magical beasts...

How can there be a creature that is not affected by the spell... Sean's brow furrowed hard.

Professor McGonagall did not disturb his thinking. Although Sean's plan was unsuccessful, in her eyes, this little wizard has proved his wisdom.

And he looked like Albus when he was thinking... The eyes under Professor McGonagall's glasses flickered. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

On the other side, Sean, who was struggling to understand, had already set his suspicion on some mysterious power. He even wondered if a certain guilt had been revived in advance. Otherwise, the spell would not take effect. How could this happen? Explanation, the other party is not a ghost...

etc! Sean's eyes widened suddenly.

Ghost, yeah, how did I forget that guy?

Seeing the change in his expression, Professor McGonagall asked softly, "Sean, did you find something?"

Sean raised his head: "Professor, will ghosts be affected by magic spells?"

"Ghost? Of course not," Professor McGonagall said with some doubts. "You suspect that the murderer is a ghost? But ghosts can't be invisible, and they can only have very little impact on the real world, such as splashing a little water or something. - Severing the neck of a creature is not something a ghost can do... wait!"

Suddenly, Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.
