Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

Chapter 226 Halloween Event - Ghosts 8

"Hurry up, hurry up! Follow up!" The urging voice was hoarse and weak, but it was enough for everyone to hear.

The sound of chaotic footsteps didn't stop.

The rustling sound of cloth rubbing against each other is particularly prominent in the quiet corridor.

Occasionally, the muffled sound produced by the collision of wood blocks and stones immediately raised people's vigilance, and subconsciously looked towards the location where the sound sounded.

It wasn't until he found out that the movement was accidentally made by his own people that he breathed a sigh of relief and put his hanging heart back into his stomach.

Under the reproachful eyes of everyone, the instigator put his hands together in apologetic manner and begged everyone for mercy with a flattering expression.

With this good attitude of admitting mistakes, everyone then looked away, let him go, and continued to move towards the direction of the Astronomy Tower.

……

"Follow me closely." Tom stood on the edge of the roof and instructed the Slytherins who were casting the spell of concealment on themselves after rushing to the Astronomy Tower.

Then, before they could respond, Tom stepped forward.

(Don't ask where the railing is, the question is that the plot at this time requires it to disappear temporarily.)

The body fell with the gravity, and in the eyes of everyone, only a piece of clothing was flying due to inertia and air currents, and then disappeared quickly.

Regarding this scene, no one showed any panicked expressions. Instead, they clenched the broomstick in their hands, straddled their long legs and made a riding posture, their eyes were fixed on the direction where Tom had just fallen, and they were always ready to take off.

A slender figure rose slowly, wearing long robes.

Everyone hastened to move their broomsticks and lifted their feet off the ground.

With his hands behind his back easily, Tom flew away in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone also moved the broom handles and flew in the direction Tom was going away.

……

Tom and his party quickly arrived at the open space outside the Forbidden Forest where Afu had manipulated their hands and feet, but they didn't go down alone, but stopped quietly in mid-air above the open space.

Because they are so close, even if the environment is dark, everyone can barely see everything in the open space below.

"Hiss—" Everyone gasped in unison.

Facing the open space below, just one glance is creepy.

A huge, fat worm resembling a silkworm chrysalis lay across the open space, its head and tail completely beyond the scope of the open space, and part of it sank into the surrounding dense woods.

The reason why the insect's head and tail can be distinguished is entirely because its abdomen near the castle is continuously "breeding" "ghosts".

Although he has figured out the source of the "ghost" birth, Tom's expression is not relaxed at this time.

'Things are a little tricky. Tom stared at the worm's rising and falling belly, and thoughts raced through his mind.

But soon, Tom made a decision.

"Attack those things with all your strength." Tom pointed to the "ghosts" that had just been "born" and rushed towards the castle.

"As for it, it's not the best time yet." The "it" in Tom's mouth obviously refers to the fat bug.

Everyone understood what Tom meant.

Fat Chongzi is the source of all monsters, if he succeeds, he will definitely get a lot of points.

But the huge returns come with great risks.

Not to mention that the fat worm must be a tough nut to crack. If it does something, who knows what kind of counterattack it will have.

Besides, just looking at its size, it shouldn't be someone who can be easily defeated in a short time.

If people from other colleges noticed the movement during the attack and attracted all the students from the school, they might make wedding dresses for others.

Another point, in theory, as long as this fat bug exists, there will be a steady stream of "ghosts" appearing, which means a steady stream of points.

At present, they don't know how many "ghosts" have been put into the castle. If they rush to kill the source now, it means that the total number of points everyone can get tonight will not change.

In the case of no change in the total number of scores, there is not much difference in the total scores of the four colleges (the information obtained before coming to the Astronomy Tower), which intensifies the difficulty for Slytherin to compete for the first place, and it is impossible for Slytherin to compete for the first place in the personal ranking. Widen the gap between Slytherin students and other house students.

All in all, it is not cost-effective to solve the fat bug now.

At least we have to wait until everyone gets enough points.

They checked each other's eyes, there were no idiots present, and everyone understood what Tom meant.

So they all started to score points with secret joy.

……

In the auditorium, following the rapid increase in Ravenclaw's total score and the rise in the ranking of a large number of Ravenclaw little wizards, there were obvious changes in the two lists.

In the string of numbers representing Slytherin scores, the first few digits began to scroll rapidly.

And on the personal list, some of the names with snake-shaped emblems began to jump up a lot.

When they moved to a certain ranking range, the growth rate of their points remained the same, but because the difference in points between each ranking was larger than that of the previous positions, the speed of ranking fluctuations slowed down again, but this upward momentum No intention of stopping at all.

"What... what happened again?" Professor Sprout looked at Professor Slughorn in a daze.

Professor Slughorn had innocence written all over his face.

Although Professor Slughorn really didn't know what happened this time, his sophisticated and "insidious" image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Except for Afu, no one took his blank expression at this time to heart.

Professors: That's him!This bad old man is always good at acting!During the game in the afternoon, I don’t know how many holes were dug and how many people were buried!

"Slytherin may have found a gathering place for a large number of targets," Professor Flitwick speculated.

Afu, who knew everything, hid her achievements and fame deeply, with a proud smile on her lips, and her eyes wandering towards the direction of the open space.

Although the auditorium was far away from the open space, and there were a lot of buildings and trees in between, Afu could clearly see everything that happened in Hogwarts after all.

Although the open space was close to the Forbidden Forest, Afu couldn't control the Forbidden Forest like a castle, but who said Afu couldn't see it?

Use the outer wall of the castle as the medium, and randomly choose a suitable lookout point as the eye.

------

This part of the Halloween event at night is very worthless-everything.

What evil could Afu have?She just wants to exercise the psychological quality of the little wizards!
