Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

What Harry and Ron didn't realize was...

The gray-brown spotted creature lying on Ron's lap had been staring at Harry from the very beginning.

Moreover, such a complex look in its eyes doesn't resemble a mouse at all; it's more like an intelligent life form, such as a human!

Watching the three meet in the mental scan.

Zheng Zha opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "The main characters have finally gathered."

"However, everyone, I really don't intend to make a move."

"Ron probably doesn't have much affection for that Scabbers, so losing him won't be a big deal, right?"

"Besides, this isn't Hogwarts territory. If we make a move, we can just be careful and no one will notice."

Faced with Zheng Zha's suggestion, Zhan Lan, sitting opposite him, decisively shook her head.

The beautiful woman, dressed in a medieval-style long dress, toyed with a quill pen in her hand while pondering:
"If we're going to get involved with Banban, I think there's a high chance there will be a side story."

"After all, no one would have imagined that this seemingly insignificant mouse would actually be Harry's parents' best friend."

"Moreover, he was a close friend who betrayed them."

"If it weren't for him, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to easily kill the Potters and ultimately allow Harry to become the savior."

"With these background factors supporting it."

"This Peter Pettigrew, with his legendary background, is worth at least a B-grade side quest."

Zheng Zha understood as he looked at Zhan Lan shaking her head and Ling Dian silently nodding beside her.

If we really take action, there will only be one outcome.

That means the storyline will start ahead of time.

Zhan Lan added, "Don't forget your experiences in Final Destination and The Mummy."

"Entering the later part of the story ahead of time will increase the difficulty to the maximum, even with double or triple rewards."

"It's also not enough to balance the dangers that will come in the upcoming team fights."

"I think this is also the best proof that the other teams are getting along peacefully."

"Whoever starts the plot ahead of time will become the target of everyone's criticism."

"The second point is their current negative score. Under these circumstances, completing the side quests is no different from throwing money away."

"If we really make a move."

Even though Zhongzhou Team is currently the strongest team.

I don't believe we can withstand the other three teams, plus the forces of Zhao Zhuikong, Voldemort, and Dumbledore lurking in the shadows.

"A chaotic battle at that time is almost inevitable."

Zheng Zha shook his head and gave a wry smile. He felt that Zhan Lan was afraid he would take action, which was why she made it sound so serious.

Zheng Zha then thought of something and asked, "Then tell me, is Zhao Zhuikong on this train right now?"

Zhan Lan thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Should be there."

"It's just a pity that this person has a device that blocks mental scanning, and its level is probably not low."

"If this person's abilities are truly comparable to or even surpass those of an assassin like Sakura Sora, then I don't think anyone could find them if they wanted to hide."

Zero suddenly spoke up: "Actually, there is a way to find it."

Zhan Lan paused for a moment, then quickly realized what Lingdian wanted to say.

"You mean Death's coin?"

"Okay, this item is indeed possible to find, but putting aside the accuracy, just the side effects alone..."

Zhan Lan didn't say much, but Lingdian and Zheng Zha both knew what she meant: it was a losing proposition.

Zheng Zha glanced at Zhan Lan opposite him and suddenly whispered, "When Zhao Yingkong mentioned Zhao Zhuikong last time... do you think it might be..."

At this moment, a thumping sound came from the carriage behind Zheng Zha, interrupting the captain who was speaking because his brain was all muscle.

The next carriage.

Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong sat facing each other.

Compared to some people, Li Xiao was still wearing a simple black camouflage uniform.

I sat by the window, eating the Bibi Bott's Every Flavor Beans I had just bought, one by one.

Li Xiao earnestly invited, "Really, won't you have some?"

"The taste is alright, it has a very unique flavor."

Zhao Yingkong crossed her arms and stared coldly at the person opposite her.

However, the Li Xiao of today is not the same Li Xiao of before.

His skin is as thick as a city wall.

Before long, the little girl, who exuded an aloof aura, puffed out her cheeks.

There was no other way, so Li Xiao also bought a bunch of snacks.

It can only be said that every world has its own unique characteristics.

The same goes for snacks; they're quite delicious, in fact.

Aside from the luck-based Multi-Flavor Beans and Skittles, the Magic Chocolate with its rich texture and the sugar threads and feathers that hit the taste buds are a blessing for dessert lovers.

Since we're both reading anyway, it won't affect anything.

So the little assassin didn't refuse much.

Harry's carriage.

Hermione looked at the silly Harry and Ron.

Especially the way Ron is holding his wand right now.

Hermione looked her up and down before exclaiming in surprise, "Are you about to use magic?"

"Oh, let me take a look!"

With that, Hermione gestured for her to enter and then crossed her arms.

Ron feigned composure in the face of the sudden appearance of audience member number two:

"Ahem, let me clear my throat first."

"Then... sunshine, daisies, sweet cream, turned this silly mouse yellow!"

Ron pointed his wand, and a beam of yellow light fell on Scabbers, who was eating a cookie.

However, after landing, Scabbers yelled as if he had been electrocuted, and then jumped directly onto Harry.

In a flash, it darted under the table.

"Hmm, the color doesn't seem to have changed?"

Harry looked at Scabbers under his seat and said uncertainly.

Seeing this, Hermione burst out laughing.

Then, looking at Ron in disbelief, he said:

"Are you sure you just used magic and wasn't playing a prank?"

"It doesn't seem to be very effective, of course I mean it's not very effective."

"I've also tried a few simple spells at home myself."

"Actually, they are all quite effective, and they should be better than changing color."

Hermione said, taking her wand from her right inner pocket and sitting down opposite Ron and Harry Potter.

That is the spot where Ron just sat.

"For example..."

Hermione pointed her wand at Harry's glasses.

The two haven't reacted yet.

All that could be heard was his shout: "Restore to its original state!"

Click.

Harry saw the tape between his eyes float down, and then the previously broken metal pieces somehow rejoined.

Harry took off his glasses in surprise, just as Hermione had predicted.

The glasses were completely restored to their original condition, with no trace of the original glasses.

Ron, standing beside Hermione, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

And the glasses in Harry's hand.

"Flander taught me several times before I had a chance to succeed. You're a freshman too, how do you know magic?"

"And he's so skilled at it?"

Hermione said helplessly, "I only looked at a couple of spells after I bought the wand."

"As a result, these magic spells were learned very quickly."

"And it's also very easy to use, isn't it?"

Hermione, who was speaking, quickly noticed the unusual mark on Harry's forehead.

The tone of voice unconsciously rose:
"Wait, are you Harry Potter?"

Seeing Harry nod, Hermione nodded with a strange look and said:

"What an amazing person!"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hermione Granger."

"So, who are you?"

After Hermione finished speaking, she abruptly turned to look at Ron.

Ron quickly popped the chocolate out of his mouth and then said, "My name is Ron Weasley, nice to meet you."

Hermione nodded, then stood up decisively.

"You two would better change into your robes; I think we'll be there soon."

"Oh, right."

“Ron, there’s been something dirty on your nose ever since I came in.”

"You know what? It's right here!"

Hermione pointed to a spot on her face.

Then he turned and left.

After eating another half piece of chocolate, Ron quickly lowered his head and blushed as he rubbed his nose.

Woo--

The whistle sounded again.

The train also began to slow down.

After hurriedly changing into their matching wizard robes, Harry and Ron tidied up the snacks in the carriage.

While packing my luggage.

"Oh, Harry. You don't need to take your luggage."

"After the welcome party, your luggage will be taken directly to your dormitory according to your assigned school area."

"All you need to do is tidy it up."

Ron quickly reminded him.

Harry then put it down.

That's when the train came to a complete stop.

A very familiar voice rang out from outside the train.

"We've arrived. Older students, please help the first-graders open the doors and then organize their disembarkation."

"All first-year students, please gather here."

"Hurry up. First graders, don't be shy."

"Keep up, everyone keep up."

On the side of the red steam train, one by one, large doors were pushed open.

Harry and Ron also came out with the flow of people, along with Hermione not far away.

And the three figures behind Hermione, always holding hands.

"Hi, Hagrid!"

"Oh, Harry."

Two figures embraced.

Of course, Harry could only cling to Hagrid's leg.

Although the two had only been apart for half an afternoon, it was long enough for Harry.

Ron, who had been following Harry, also looked up at Hagrid. Looking at this colossal figure, easily three meters tall and clad in an unknown fur coat, he spoke with utmost seriousness:
Wow!

After greeting the new students, Hagrid then called out to everyone disembarking from the train:
"Alright. The older students can go directly to the auditorium. The first-year students, come with me here and wait."

Hagrid, with a group of children around him.

These first-year students followed Hagrid around like a bunch of little mice.

Harry whispered, "Hagrid, what are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for your classmates."

"classmate?"

Ron looked around and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

Hagrid whispered, "They're exchange students, supposedly from other magic academies."

"I don't know the rest either; I only found out about ten minutes earlier than you guys."

Hagrid straightened up after he finished speaking.

Because the last carriage of the train had already opened.

Dozens of tall men and women walked out under the watchful eyes of all the first-grade children.

"so hot!"

"so beautiful!"

"This lady is so pretty!"

"That one is pretty too!"

"No, this one is the prettiest!"

To be honest, in the Main God Space...

Especially after the alliance was formed, Zheng Zha and his friends understood a principle after seeing the good looks of the other teams.

All that is powerful is not ugly.

After all, those genes naturally come with an extraordinary beauty-enhancing effect.

This has resulted in the fact that none of the senior deities who are now stepping off the train are ugly or unattractive.

Even more so, Zheng Zha of the Central Plains team and Gunnir of the Arctic Continent team became the two most outstanding players.

He had black hair and black eyes, and a handsome yet eerie face.

Another one, in terms of both skin tone and appearance, is more in line with local aesthetic standards.

Hagrid stepped forward.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, everyone."

Gunnir nodded with a smile: "Hagrid, I've heard so much about you."

Among the first-grade students.

Ron glanced at the figure across from him eating chocolate and subconsciously touched his pocket.

The more he touched it, the more something seemed off.

Harry quickly noticed his new friend's little tricks.

She covered her mouth and whispered:

"What's wrong, Ron?"

Ron turned his pockets inside out: "The chocolates I just put away are gone."

Harry: "Did you leave it in the carriage?"

Ron: "Although I don't know why, I suspect this person took it."

"Look at me, look at me, I'm the one eating chocolate."

Harry followed Ron's gaze.

That was a figure standing in third place.

If it weren't for Hagrid, Harry would have thought he was just an ordinary person.

No, it should be said that each of the last group of people to get off the train was an ordinary person.

That is, Muggle.

However, there is one exception.

She was the woman with long pink hair whom I met when I was buying a wand.

Since this woman bought a magic wand, she must be a magician, right?

"Let's go, everyone, now that everyone's here."

"This is where we board the boat!"

Hagrid did not linger at the station or talk to these so-called exchange students.

Because the welcome party has a set time limit.

"By boat?"

"Do we need to take a boat to get to the school?"

Harry tugged at Ron's clothes and asked.

Ron nodded: "I forgot to tell you, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is on a small island off the coast."

"So after getting off the train, you still need to take a boat, but my terrible brothers said it's very close and you'll be there in no time."

Harry nodded, looking around with great curiosity.

As dusk fell, on a dock, in the center of each small wooden boat was something resembling an oil lamp.

However, Zheng Zha and the others knew that this thing was neither an oil lamp nor an electric lamp.

Because Hagrid just waved his old umbrella and all of these lights came on.

Furthermore, this wooden boat can move automatically without needing to be rowed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zheng Zha wished he could simply stuff the ship into the Demon-Refining Pot.

After all, these are real magical items.

However, this person also knows that this is just the beginning.

The real highlight is Hogwarts.

Not to mention the professors inside.

The freely disseminated magic and various infrastructure alone are enough for them to study and learn. (End of Chapter)
