Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Harry looked at the three Malfoys sitting together, and Ron whispered:
"Don't be surprised, many bad wizards come from Slytherin."

"Especially the Malfoy family."

"what!"

Harry suddenly spoke up.

Ron, seeing Harry take a step back, quickly steadied him and asked in surprise, "Harry, what's wrong?"

Harry Potter rubbed his forehead: "I don't know either, my forehead hurts again!"

"Again, were you in pain just now too?"

Harry quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm fine."

"But who is that person sitting next to Hagrid?"

Ron looked in the direction Harry was pointing and said:
"It's Professor Snape, the Head of the Slytherin House and the Potions Master."

"Flanders once said that it's best not to be late for this teacher's class, or the consequences will be severe."

"What's wrong, Harry? Do you know Professor Snape?"

The man shook his head.

Because at that moment, McGonagall also called out the next name.

"Ron, Weasley."

Upon hearing the name, Harry quickly pushed his friend aside.

Ron swallowed hard.

Only then did he walk up.

After taking a deep breath, he put on the Sorting Hat.

"Ah, this feels so familiar!"

"Another Weasley."

"Oh, this is the most prolific family I've ever seen, and they've even managed to avoid Muggles and Squibs perfectly."

"One comes in every year, oh no, last year there were two!"

"So, I already know which college it is."

"Gryffindor!"

Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he heard those four words, because he was terrified of being assigned to Slytherin.

If that's the case, he'll be in big trouble.

Ron soon saw his three older brothers stand up, cheer, and wave at him.

Three minutes later.

"Next up, Harry Potter!"

After Professor McGonagall uttered a name.

The previously noisy auditorium fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

All the professors in the front row turned their gazes out.

There’s more to it than that.

All the students in the audience were also eagerly waiting.

After all, these four words have been famous for more than a decade.

It could even be said that all the students present grew up listening to the stories of Harry Potter.

And they never expected that this time, they would actually see this person, alive and well.

Harry patted his chest and slowly walked forward.

Dumbledore, Hagrid, Snape, Quirrell, and McGonagall all nodded.

Harry Potter then sat down and put on the Sorting Hat with a serious expression.

The spirit of the Zhongzhou team.

"I bet 100% that Dumbledore cheated."

"He definitely has a way to control the Sorting Hat."

"When I first saw this scene... look, look! Did this guy make a move?!"

Li Xiao's gaze drifted over and he saw Dumbledore tapping his finger on the table.

The Sorting Hat spoke at the same time:
"Disaster!"

"too difficult!"

“Harry Potter seems very courageous, not a bad person at heart, and very talented.”

"Oh, and I also saw that little Harry was eager to prove himself."

"What a promising child!"

So, which college should you be assigned to?

"Alright, Harry, since you've made up your mind, then it's Gryffindor~~~"

Congratulations to Gryffindor House.

As soon as the four words were uttered, everyone at the Long Table, represented by Gryffindor, cheered excitedly.

This time, they were more excited than when welcoming any new student.

Hermione and Ron, who had already been assigned to Gryffindor, were so excited that they immediately hugged each other.

They had just hugged each other when they paused in surprise and then let go.

Then Ron turned around, blushing, and shouted:

"Harry, come here!"

"quick!"

Harry happily trotted over and sat down next to Ron.

After it quieted down.

Professor McGonagall looked at the list in her hand:

"Lilia Wayne!"

Although the Zhongzhou team members had tried their best to ensure that they did not have any special reactions.

But hearing that name still gave me a jolt.

Because this name is Lolita.

The little girl, just like the new students, felt a mix of excitement, anticipation, and unease.

With that expression, Li Xiao even felt he could go and receive an Oscar.

The little girl covered her mouth and took a deep breath.

Then he went up, put on the Sorting Hat, and sat down quietly.

In fact, Zheng Zha and the others had discussed this before deciding to send Loli and the others to Hogwarts School.

What exactly are the capabilities of the Sorting Hat?

Mind reading? Personality assessment?

Or is it some kind of divination magic?

Predict future?

The Sorting Hat is a well-known and unique feature of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The accuracy of the ability has always been beyond question.

In the end, Chu Xuan summarized it into one sentence.

"Read your inner self, explore possibilities."

"In other words, to some extent, Harry, Hermione, and Ron are all the same kind of people."

"If we divide a person's personality into four parts, then these four colleges represent four aspects."

"The purpose of the sorting cap is to select the side that is closer to the other side."

However, the only thing the Zhongzhou team is worried about now is being exposed.

However, Chu Xuan thought it wouldn't happen.

Even Dumbledore didn't have complete control over the Sorting Hat.

Of course, it's not so much that we lack the ability, but rather that we don't need to.

The reason is quite simple: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded by four people a thousand years ago, and those four people are the names of the four houses.

The Sorting Hat was naturally created by these four people.

Just as the members of the Central Continent Team were focusing their attention on the little girl.

Snape's eyes, however, were unfocused as he looked in Harry's direction, and he murmured the two names that held great significance for him.

After the sorting hat was put on him, he spoke up again:

"This is incredible, incredible, this little girl."

"I haven't seen such a beautiful girl in a long time. I think she'll definitely grow up to be a beauty. You're special, so where are you going?"

"Oh, it seems the beautiful lady has already made up her mind. As a gentleman, I can only grant her wish. So, yes, Slytherin!"

Loli looked around and, finding nothing amiss, took off her hat.

All four houses are good, and they are even the best except for Gryffindor.

This is because it's a way to reasonably reduce contact with the main trio.

Next, surprisingly, Xin'er was assigned to Hufflepuff and Yue'er to Ravenclaw.

Surprisingly, not a single person went to Gryffindor.

After the last freshman was assigned to Gryffindor.

The entire auditorium became increasingly lively.

Especially the older and new students, their chatter was everywhere.

Professor McGonagall returned to her seat, frowned, and tapped the metal glass in front of her twice.

A deafening clang suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The deafening sound waves resonated throughout the auditorium.

It was as if the entire auditorium was inside this metal cup.

Professor McGonagall's sharp gaze swept around.

One by one, the older students also shut their mouths and resumed the elegance befitting a magician.

Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong glanced at each other and then looked away.

Just after that sound rang out, Honda's tall figure suddenly moved unusually.

(sound?
Oh, I remember now!
The venom parasite's weakness is sound—no, it should be its sonic abilities.
Just as Li Xiao was lost in thought...

The sound disappeared, and the entire auditorium fell silent.

Dumbledore stood up again, stretched out his hands, and said with a smile, "Sorting is complete. Now."

"The banquet begins!"

The last four words were spoken at the same time.

Each of the reincarnators sitting in the chairs leaned back.

Because of a magical fluctuation they didn't understand.

The once empty table and plates were now filled with a dazzling array of food.

Some of the food was even steaming hot, and making sizzling sounds.

And it wasn't just their tables; it was the same for everyone in the entire auditorium.

Corn, bread, mushroom soup, whole roast chicken, kebabs, French fries, fried chicken legs, and even a variety of pre-cut fruits.

Chen Zilong swallowed hard: "I need to talk to Yue'er about learning this magic so she won't have to cook anymore."

Zheng Zha nodded in agreement, because he suddenly realized something.

The entire team hadn't eaten for over a day since morning.

Compared to the few people whose minds were filled with food.

Xiao Honglu and Zhan Lan both closed their eyes at the beginning, but they opened them quickly and shook their heads regretfully.

The way this food appeared is very similar to how it appeared after they exchanged it in the God's Space.

They were both just finished and both appeared and disappeared without a trace.

Ron stared at the food closest to him and began to swallow his saliva frantically.

That was a huge plate of fried chicken legs.

The chicken leg was coated with a layer of flour, fried to a golden color, and topped with a layer of cumin.

Moreover, each chicken leg looked like it had just come out of the oil pan and the oil had been drained.

The smell kept wafting into Ron's nose.

"Harry, I can't resist anymore, I'm eating first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait any longer and grabbed one in each hand and started eating.

In no time, only chicken bones remained from the two chicken legs.

Ron, his mouth greasy from eating, had completely forgotten about the little girl of the same age next to him, showing absolutely no regard for his image.

There was no way around it; Ron's Weasley family was just as Malfoy had described.

Old clothes, old magic robes, old leather shoes, even the wand is old.

Such families in Britain might only be able to afford one bite of meat a day.

This is because they possess magic.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support so many children.

“My dad is a complete Muggle and my mom is a witch. When my dad found out before I started school, he was shocked.”

Hermione's smile grew even brighter as she listened to the new student's self-introduction.

It's clear that this person is in a good mood.

Harry became the center of attention.

Before long, a huge pile of food and drink was piled up in front of Harry Potter.

As for names, aside from the first few and the names of the other freshmen around him, Harry couldn't remember them anymore.

Because there were just too many people introducing themselves.

"Harry, here, this is delicious!"

Seeing the chicken leg handed to him, Harry took a bite and nodded with a smile.

Hermione paused for a moment, but took the soup from Ron and pushed the corn chowder in front of her toward Ron and Harry.

Meanwhile, the students from the four colleges were enjoying their meal.

The exchange students closest to the "leaders" were much quieter.

Even if you say they haven't eaten, they are eating slowly and methodically, bit by bit.

You might think they're eating, but many people haven't touched their food.

But it was at this time...

A semi-transparent head popped out from under a plate of turkey.

"Yo yo yo, beautiful ladies, welcome to Hogwarts... Waaaaah!"

Before the person who had only shown his head could finish speaking, Zhao Yingkong grabbed his neck with her small hand.

This person's words also turned into sobs.

However, it wasn't just people from other teams who looked over when they saw this scene.

Even several professors from the nearby McGonagall came over to look.

However, they glanced at it and then put it back.

Gunnir and Neos understood.

It seems that this player from the Zhongzhou team also has a spiritual bloodline enhancement.

Otherwise, ordinary flesh and blood cannot touch these souls wandering in Hogwarts.

Zhao Ying swung her arm and pulled the man out, throwing him aside.

He then continued drinking the mysterious beverage that had spontaneously appeared in his cup.

"It's the Blood Man Barrow!"

"And Princess Jennifer!"

"Hello, Sir Nicholas, did you have a good holiday?"

A soul dressed in a black and white jazz costume emerges from the food.

"No, not at all, because I also want to attend the banquet!"

"Moreover, the Headless Horseman's hunt has once again rejected me."

Ron, holding chicken legs in both hands, looked up at:

"I know that guy, you're Nick who almost lost his head?"

"Oh, hello, little Gryffindors."

"I prefer you to call me Sir Nicholas."

"You have to understand, in our time, being a knight was a title of honor!"

Hermione asked curiously, "You almost lost your head? How did you almost lose your head?"

Dressed in luxurious attire, Nicholas floated in the air and gracefully bent down: "Like this."

As he spoke, he pulled his head down.

Ron, Hermione, and Harry, the newcomers, were all taken aback.

The delicious taste I was chewing on had lost some of its allure.
-
"Gryffindors, follow me!"

"Here in Slytherin!"

“Hufflepuff’s new students, stay close to me.”

"Ravenclaw students, turn left ahead, this way!"

Loli, Xin'er, and Yue'er greeted each other and then parted ways.

They followed their respective leaders deeper into the castle.

"Everyone, remember this route. This is the shortest route from the auditorium to the dormitory. Of course, the shortest route may not be the one you prefer to take. You just need to know it."

The senior student's calm voice rang out from the front.

The echoes reverberated through the tall, yet somewhat gloomy, stone corridors of Hogwarts.

"The key is to watch out for those steps, the ones right under your feet. Because they can change at any time."

The little girl asked instinctively, "Them?" (End of Chapter)
