Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Hagrid sighed, a mixture of satisfaction and weariness, and waved his hand.
"Let's go, back to the castle."

The four children looked at each other, then turned and walked silently and quickly toward the brightly lit silhouette of Hogwarts Castle in the distance.

Harry walked at the back and couldn't help but look back one last time.

early morning.

Griffin Dorm Room.

The firelight from the fireplace illuminated the faces of the three people.

After Harry finished recounting everything he had experienced.

Hermione looked at him and asked in return.

"Then why did Hagrid say that only these two unicorns have died recently?"

"The first one was a few weeks ago."

"That period was when we first enrolled. It's impossible that Voldemort came to Hogwarts with us, right?"

"Then how did he survive before?"

“I just asked Hagrid specifically, and unicorns are only found in the Forbidden Forest in all of Britain.”

Harry shook his head in confusion; he didn't know the answer either, but he reacted quickly.

"I just guessed why Professor Snape stole the Philosopher's Stone."

"He wasn't doing it for himself, he was doing it for Voldemort. The Philosopher's Stone could grant immortality."

"With this Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort, who was severely injured back then, can rise again."

"He will be able to return!"

Ron, standing nearby, touched himself and asked timidly, "Oh, red hair!"
"If he comes back, will he kill you, Harry?"

Harry nodded: "I think if he has the chance, he'll do it tonight."

"Fortunately, Mr. Centaur appeared just in time."

Ron nodded: "Okay, actually, before worrying about that, I was worried about the Potions exam next."

Hermione looked at the two of them and said, "Wait, wait."

"Have we forgotten something? You need to know who Voldemort was only afraid of?"

"It's Headmaster Dumbledore. As long as Headmaster Dumbledore is here, Harry, you're safe."

“That’s the legendary Dumbledore. No one can hurt you, Harry.”

Hermione quickly winked at Ron as she spoke.

Ron may be slow to react, but he's not stupid.

Quickly nod in agreement:

"That's right, we are absolutely safe inside the academy."

"With Dean Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall here, this is the safest place."

"Oh, right. And the furball. Hagrid said that no one but him and Dumbledore can take anything from behind the furball."

Harry Potter was indeed relieved to hear what his two friends said.

But whether you're truly at ease or not, only you know.
-
Forbidden forest.

"Hagrid, release Buckbeak. The Forbidden Forest needs it now."

Professor McGonagall's voice was extremely cold.

Hagrid listened for only a moment before nodding.

Buckbeak, the flying creature, is indeed a skilled patrolman.

What Hagrid and Professor McGonagall didn't notice when they collected the unicorn's carcass was...

The silver blood that the unicorn had dripped along the way had all disappeared.

This also includes those inside the unicorn.

Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

After all, someone has already been unfairly blamed for this.

And it's solid.

Other squads with similar intentions, upon seeing the empty blood pool, knew perfectly well that someone had beaten them to it.

And they also know who it is.

After all, among the four main god squads, there is only one known vampire.

It's perfectly normal for vampires to have some ability to manipulate blood.

However, Gunnir and his team were indeed right.
-
Zhongzhou Team, a world within a pot.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen blood that's silvery-white and looks like mercury."

"But what's the use?"

"Or is it delicious?"

Li Xiao asked curiously.

Zheng Zha shook his head: "I didn't drink anything."

"And after seeing Voldemort drink it, I had no appetite at all."

"I even want to eat vegetarian for two days."

After the joke, Zheng Zha's expression turned serious:
"The blood of this magical creature should be beyond what we know blood to be."

“If I hadn’t exchanged for the ability to manipulate blood beforehand, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to get these things under Professor McGonagall’s nose.”

"But what's the use?"

Li Xiao touched it: "Stop looking."

"If it's the unicorn's corpse, we might still have some use for it."

"After all, there are quite a few spells in the Bible of the Dead that can resurrect such creatures."

"For example, the spell you used before to summon Cerberus."

"The carcass of a unicorn should also have a similar use."

"It's just a pity that if we move the corpse, we might alert the enemy."

"After all, Voldemort still thinks he's hiding very well."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Chen Zilong looked up curiously from the corner and asked:

"But I'm a little curious."

Does the fact that Voldemort didn't attack Harry Potter mean that Zhao Zhuikong didn't team up with him?

"After all, this opportunity is arguably the closest the two have ever come to each other in all of these horror movies."

This is also the most likely time Voldemort has managed to kill Harry.

Chen Zilong's words plunged the Zhongzhou team into a brief silence.

The fact that Voldemort didn't attack Harry this time is indeed an important signal.

Li Xiao leaned back in the wooden chair, her fingertips tapping unconsciously:

"Not necessarily. You should know that Zhao Zhuikong is a man whose thoughts are hard to fathom."

He might feel that now is not the best time, or Voldemort's condition is not 'suitable'...maybe."

Li Xiao paused for a moment.

"He's waiting for bigger chaos, or for a more tempting prey to appear."

Chen Zilong frowned: "Even greater chaos? You mean..."

“The magic stone,” Zheng Zha replied in a deep voice.

"No, it should be the grand finale, the grand finale of the first season!"

Wearing a white lab coat, Zhan Lan appeared behind the group at some point.

After adjusting his glasses, he continued:

"Haven't you noticed? According to the countdown from the main god, if the plot unfolds as expected, we most likely won't experience the final ending, which is Professor Quirrell being petrified by Harry and subsequently killed."

"Although I don't know where he is or what he did, I think he will push this ending to happen sooner, and only in this way can there be enough chaos."

"If Zhao Zhuikong really wants to use Voldemort, or get something from him, the real opportunity will be when the Philosopher's Stone is taken away."

At that time, Dumbledore would inevitably be tied down, Hogwarts' defenses would be at their lowest, and Voldemort's power would return to a dangerous level, making the situation more complicated... and more suitable for him to fish in troubled waters so he could get what he wanted.

Cheng Xiao, who had been quiet all along, stood up from Saito Hajime's shoulder and asked the question that most of the people present were asking:

"So what does Zhao Zhuikong want?"

Zhan Lan shrugged under everyone's gaze:

"Don't look at me, I don't know."

"What I just said was just my speculation."

"By the way, Chu Xuan said he should have gotten the unicorn blood by now, and asked me to come and get it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha took out a silver-white sealed jar from his storage ring and handed it to Zhan Lan.

Li Xiao then turned around and stretched.

"Just wait, I think the plot is about to speed up!"

"hope everything is fine."

Zheng Zha listened and gave a bitter laugh, because he didn't know why.

Every time I hear someone say this, I have a bad feeling.

And it turns out that is indeed the case.

In a magical world that involves two super attributes: "time" and "luck".

How could we possibly just follow the established procedures step by step?
The magic academy was shrouded in a distinct white mist in the early morning.

From a distance, the white snow on the ground and the white mist in the air blended almost into one, adding even more color to the already mysterious academy.

A thick, spindle-shaped green leaf drifted down from the gray-white stone steps as a cold wind blew.

The insects on the leaves are slowly wriggling.

Paji.

As the shadow passed, the pattern on the sole of the shoe perfectly matched the shape of the caterpillar.

So much so that after the figure walked past, the caterpillar looked up and looked back.

As Hashimoto walked down the stairs, he was playing with his phone in one hand, his index and middle fingers tapping buttons in a strange manner.

"Turn left, look up in thirty meters!"

Hashimoto muttered as he did as instructed.

Then I saw a group of older female students walking together across a high platform.

Dressed in gold and red striped magic robes, they were having a lively discussion about the first lesson that was about to begin.

That was the advanced Transfiguration technique taught by Professor McGonagall.

But just as they were walking across the platform...

At the edge, a magic wand fell down without warning.

It bounced off the bottom and then rolled a few times.

The female student on the far side noticed this and, without thinking, continued her conversation while crouching down to pick it up.

But at that moment, for some reason, the student who had squatted down lost his balance and fell down helplessly.

And this direction is directly in front of Hashimoto.

A classic "hero" rescue of a damsel in distress unfolded at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early morning.

Coincidentally, Kanna Hashimoto gained not only friendships with a group of older female students.

Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a green magic robe, happened to see this and gained a rare moment of goodwill from him.

Life at the magic academy is no different from the real world, and it is also full of all sorts of unexpected accidents.

However, Hashimoto's appearances became more and more frequent.

This newly arrived exchange student also unknowingly built up a magical level of friendliness.

That's right, it's something similar to encountering NPCs in online games.

Back when Zheng Zha's appearance improved after exchanging bloodlines, Chu Xuan had mentioned a similar concept, but as Li Xiao and the others continued to strengthen it, this concept was long forgotten.

Compared to the Zhongzhou team, the player from the Dongying team has clearly studied this aspect thoroughly.

During a break in class.

Cheng Xiao, who looked like an infant, stood on Xiao Honglu's shoulder. The two were originally discussing the issue of recording the magical information they had just received.

But as the two continued forward, the noise around them gradually subsided.

In the end, it was as if the two of them had been detached from this world.

However, by the time they realized the problem, someone had already appeared in front of them.

This perfectly answered the doubts that had just formed in their minds.

The charming and cheerful girl in the same magic robe did not make the two feel at ease; instead, their expressions gradually became serious.

After all, such an abrupt meeting is not a friendly start.

Xiao Honglu stood still.

Looking at the constantly changing scenery and passersby, he then revealed a thoughtful expression.

However, just as Xiao Honglu was about to speak...

The beautiful girl spoke first with a crisp laugh.

"An improved version of the Muggle-Expelling Charm plus a Muggle-Blocking Charm..."

“That’s right, the new magic that Professor McGonagall taught. By the way, these two spells are not part of any side story.”

"I found you only to exchange something privately."

"It's a Western-style slanted vase from vault number 661."

"I can trade this magic for it, and how about adding an earplug to help me hear the spell?"

After saying this, Kanna Hashimoto tilted her head and revealed a cute smile with her fangs showing.

Xiao Honglu and Cheng Xiao looked directly behind Hashimoto.

There, a senior woman holding a magic wand was standing.

Moreover, judging from the patterns on the magic robe, it should be from Gryffindor.

Looking at Xiao Honglu, Hashimoto spoke again:
"That's right, I asked this student to do me a little favor. In addition to the two spells just now, I added an ear-blocking spell, a magic spell they just learned in fifth grade."

"It is very practical, especially when combined with the other two spells, the effect is outstanding, and it can even be compared with some of your Eastern formations."

Hashimoto spoke again without giving them a chance to speak.

"Are you wondering why I didn't go through the captain? It's actually very simple. Aren't all teams just like your Zhongzhou team?"

"Also, I have no ill intentions. After all, I didn't interfere with the slugs on your bodies, otherwise I wouldn't have let them transmit information."

As she spoke, Kanna Hashimoto reached into the white bag in front of her chest.

Despite the bag being only the size of a palm, Kanna Hashimoto managed to stick her entire arm inside.

Then they took out a bag of pink rice balls with a peculiar aroma, along with a miniature version of a satellite.

"These two are Momotaro rice balls and mental energy shields."

"I just used a shield, after all, I hate being covered by mental energy."

Hashimoto, who had taken out the two items, looked at Xiao Honglu and Cheng Xiao, then glanced down at his phone screen and sighed.

"Trust me, you two."

If I truly harbored ill intentions, I would have already told the captain and the Arctic team about those three adorable children.

"If they knew that your Central Continent team was disguising androids without the Godwatch as newborns, I believe they would definitely have other ideas."

"And I can exchange this information with you. I'll keep this secret for you in this horror movie; all I need is that vase." (End of Chapter)
