Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Her long, dark golden wavy hair cascaded over her fair, dazzling shoulders, covering her entire back.

Ron didn't even know how he got there. As he stretched out his hand, he said like a fool:
"This...is so beautiful!"

"But why aren't you wearing the pink one?"

Ron had assumed Hermione would wear a pink dress as prophesied, but it seems that's not the case.

Seeing Ron's reaction, Hermione took his hand, her face beaming with an undisguised smile.

How did you know I almost chose pink?

"Just guessing, but this outfit looks even better, absolutely gorgeous!"

"Just like the swan Professor McGonagall described."

Hermione, who had originally wanted to ask more questions, immediately lost interest after hearing Ron's next few words, and all that remained on her face was a slight smile.

"Ahem, Your Highness, please come in!"

Ron walked to the entrance of the auditorium and said in a pretentious manner.

Hermione let go of Ron's hand and immediately took his arm.

Compared to the frustration and sadness of the last time.

Having a second chance, Ron made different choices and gained a completely different experience.

However, these two people completely forgot about the people who were just beside them.

corridor.

Ginny stood on the steps looking down at Harry, flashing a row of white teeth.

Harry recognized his dance partner at a glance.

However, Ginny is still the same person, but she is now incredibly charming.

Harry only spoke up in disbelief after Hermione and Ron got closer.

"Ginny?"

Holding up the hem of her silver skirt with both hands, she carefully descended the last few steps, also wearing high heels.

Her long, fair, and dazzling legs crossed beneath the silver skirt.

She walked gracefully to Harry.

Harry's gaze was forced to fall on a magical place.

When she realized this was inappropriate, she looked up and saw that Ginny's face and shoulders were flushed red.

"It's time to go in, Harry."

With a rosy complexion, Ginny finished speaking, took Harry's hand, and followed him into the Great Hall.

Who are they?

"Are there any other girls this pretty in our college?"

"That one was probably Granger, but I don't know about the other one."

"But she's too beautiful."

"It's absolutely gorgeous."

"Alright, children, come in, the ball is about to begin."

Professor McGonagall appeared at the doorway at some point and gave a reminder.

Come in.

The entire auditorium was now covered in blue and white transparent ice crystals.

At the very front of the auditorium stood a Christmas tree still covered in white snowflakes.

The space where the candles were originally suspended is now filled with crystal-clear snowflakes that keep dancing in the air.

As the melodious sounds began, the ball officially commenced.

Two unexpected figures appeared from the entrance, stepping through the snowflakes.

"Two babies?"

"Is that a hibiscus?"

"So beautiful, more exquisite than any doll I've ever seen."

Everyone was amazed as they watched the figure dancing in the snowflakes.

Cheng Xiao had only one thought: the shapeshifting technique was really good.

He had originally planned to return to his normal physique and lead a dance, but unexpectedly, Hibiscus used shapeshifting magic to become a baby.

Such was the lively atmosphere of the ball.

Besides the three main characters, Harry, what Cheng Xiao found interesting was...

That leaves only the love story between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons.

Of course, it wasn't just Cheng Xiao who was curious; it's safe to say that most people present would inevitably look at the two of them.

After all, it's hard not to attract attention when people of that size are dancing together.

Cheng Xiao also overheard a secret story between the two.

The reason why Hagrid, who is of mixed race of giant and human, is shorter than Mrs. Maxim is not because he was not fully developed.

The root cause lies with his father.

Because his father was not a human being, but a human being with dwarf blood, also known as a dwarf.

This also meant that when Hagrid was three years old, he was able to put his father on the dining table with one hand.

Upon hearing this secret, Cheng Xiao said he found it hard to contain himself.

After the dance ended, Cheng Xiao naturally gained a female admirer.

That was the female warrior, Fleur Delacour.

Cheng Xiao could only say that he was a bit overwhelmed, because he really didn't have time to film a campus romance idol drama.

After all, Voldemort was still waiting for them.

"Water! Put the golden egg in the water!"

A sudden heat emanated from his ear, and by the time Cheng Xiao understood what it was, the delicate, pink baby in front of him had returned to normal.

He then blended into the students of Beauxbatons.

The second day of the ball.

Before Cheng Xiao could even remind Harry, the three of them arrived.

After the three of them mysteriously led Cheng Xiao to a corner, Harry finally spoke:
“Brother Cheng, Cedric just found me and told me about a place, a bathroom on the fifth floor that has been abandoned.”

"He told me it was a good place to take a bath, and he also told me to bring the golden egg and think things through in the water."

"Hermione was right there at the time. After Cedric left, Hermione guessed that the golden egg must be in the water to provide clues about the next level."

Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly:

"Yes, Cedric is right."

"Actually, Furong already told me yesterday. Of course, I would have known even if she hadn't said it. So let's go, you three."

Although Cheng Xiao already knew the location and requirements of the second level, he did not refuse to go through the story again.

And going forward, Cheng Xiao will be very glad he made this decision.

Because they knew about the Zhongzhou team after Cheng Xiao entered this world.

How could we possibly do nothing?

Hogwarts School of Management, this thousand-year-old school, has gone through who knows what.

Anyway, starting from the third floor of the castle, there are large areas of abandoned rooms and classrooms.

And the legendary bathroom on the fifth floor is no exception.

After pushing open the door, the bathroom looked much cleaner and tidier than the other places they had been to before.

As the magical torches lit up, the water pipes in the pool began to turn on automatically, releasing warm water.

Saw this scene.

Cheng Xiao, Harry, and Ron all looked in unison at the only woman present.

Hermione blushed as she realized what was happening: "I'll go out and wait for you. You'd better hurry."

"And Harry, Ron, you two really had to wash yourselves, you two are starting to smell."

After saying that, he ran out and closed the door.

The three of them then showed a relaxed smile.

Soon after, the three naked men entered the pool.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

Ron leaned against the edge of the pool and unconsciously groaned.

With the help of bath products, the three of them quickly produced a cloud of foam.

After cleaning, Harry's gaze fell on the golden egg.

Cheng Xiao also took out his. The three looked at each other without saying much, and all took a deep breath.

Then he plunged in headfirst.

After Harry and Cheng Xiao nodded to each other in the water, they simultaneously turned on the rotating mechanism on the golden egg.

Ron had already covered his ears.

As the mechanism for the two golden eggs was activated, the golden eggs that bloomed in the water did not emit that frightening and unpleasant sound this time.

Or perhaps, the sound was transformed into something else entirely in the water due to the different medium.

A pleasant and captivating feeling.

Yes, it's the feeling that's not the sound.

Because Cheng Xiao was certain that their ears did not receive any sound waves.

Rather, it's more like a mental fluctuation.

It's like a tape recorder, except that a tape recorder records sound.

The golden egg recorded a mental fluctuation.

Amidst the pleasant and melodious ripples of the mind, an indescribable message rushed into their minds.

"Find us, where our voices are heard!"

“We can’t sing on the ground. You only have one hour to find the treasures we’ve stolen.”

This message is repeated continuously.

It wasn't until the time to hold their breath was up and they started to feel suffocated that Harry and Ron snapped out of their daze and surfaced.

Cheng Xiao also looked up. He had always known what was going to happen, so he hadn't paid much attention to the golden egg, thinking it was just a temporary prop.

But now Cheng Xiao feels that this thing is also a treasure.

This was the first time he had ever seen a device capable of recording mental fluctuations.

And since it's possible to record mental fluctuations, can't it also record a mental skill?
(Not bad, not bad. This thing can be used by Zhan Lan.)
Cheng Xiao felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Since he transmigrated, none of the various items he acquired seemed suitable for him; they were all given to other members of the Central Continent team.

At this point, Harry and Ron, who were breathing heavily, finally recovered.

After exchanging a glance, the two said in unison:
"I know, it's the Great Lake, the mermaids in the Great Lake."

Harry said, "An hour should be the time requirement for the second level!"

Ron nodded in agreement.

Fearing that Cheng Xiao might not understand, the two explained again: "The big lake is the body of water next to the academy that connects to the sea."

"I had heard Hagrid say before that there are mermaids in this lake."

"This must be what was mentioned in the golden egg."

Cheng Xiao nodded: "In that case, does that mean you're done with Harry's golden egg?"

"Can I have it?"

After Cheng Xiao put away both golden eggs, he set his sights on Furong and Cedric.

Krum wasn't familiar with him, but Cedric should be able to give it to him out of respect for Harry.

As for Furong, Cheng Xiao swore he really didn't want to play with the feelings of an eighteen-year-old girl.

But there's no other way, it's all for a golden egg.

Just as the three were discussing mermaids, a clear, familiar laugh suddenly rang out.

Looking up, they saw a black and white transparent figure propping up its chin and looking at Cheng Xiao and the other two from the ceiling.

Harry exclaimed in surprise, "Myrtle?"

The black and white figure fell.

"Oh, hello Harry, long time no see."

She even gave a shy smile as she spoke.

Ron, standing next to him, shook his head: "No. We clearly saw each other in the secret room last night."

As they spoke, they both sank down.

His body was covered in foam.

After all, she is a woman.

Seeing the two of them like this, Myrtle became even more excited.

"Oh, dear Harry, it seems you've discovered the secret of the golden egg. Did that handsome young man tell you?"

As she spoke, Myrtle actually came closer.

He pressed his face directly next to Harry's.

Ron was startled by what he saw.

Harry asked, "You mean Cedric?"

Myrtle smiled and said:
"It should be him, but he took a long time to figure it out, and by the time he understood, the bubble was almost gone."

As Myrtle spoke, Harry suddenly remembered and quickly gathered all the surrounding foam together.

Cheng Xiao was about to speak when he saw Harry and Ron blushing, but then Myrtle looked at him.

"But that young man wasn't the first one to come here."

"I remember a figure I still remember coming to this bathhouse three years ago."

"Oh, he's so handsome!"

"So handsome it's impossible not to be captivated!"

As she spoke, Myrtle became excited and flew out of the water again, starting to spin in the air.

Without much thought, Ron casually asked, "Three years ago, wasn't that when we were in first grade?"

"Does he come to take a bath too?"

Myrtle stopped spinning and hugged the pillar beside her: "No, he didn't take a bath, but hid something at the bottom of this pool."

Myrtle hadn't even reacted after she said that.

He was grabbed by a small hand enveloped in flames and pressed to the ground.

Just as Myrtle was about to cry after being violently treated, she heard a sentence.

"Don't cry, or I'll punch you every time you cry."

"Now tell me, where is what that man hid three years ago?"

Myrtle immediately stopped crying and pointed to the bathtub that was already covered with foam.

"The bottom of the pool is the very bottom of this pool."

Cheng Xiao left behind the words, "Don't go."

Then it was plunged in again.

At the same time, Moss was taken out of the space bag and split into countless nanobots that explored towards the bath.

Cheng Xiao quickly realized that he had gone to unnecessary lengths.

Because it was the very next moment after Moss was removed.

A mass of the same silvery-white metal emerged from the gap at the bottom of the bathtub.

Harry and Ron, who had also dived into the water, saw these flowing, strange metals pry open a central floor tile.

Then the mass of metal, carrying a yellow scroll, rushed towards Cheng Xiao.

After getting out of the water.

Cheng Xiao ignored Moss, which had already merged into one.

Instead, he immediately looked at the yellow scroll in his hand, which was as thick as an average person's forearm.

Harry and Ron hurriedly pulled on their pants and came over.

"What is this? A scroll?"

Cheng Xiao also frowned.

Without hesitation, I stretched out my hand and opened it wide.

After opening, there is a large "封" (seal) character in the center of the scroll.

Around the character “封” there is a ring of incomprehensible black markings, and the same black lines extend from the top, bottom, left, and right of this ring of black markings.

It formed the shape of a large lock.

Cheng Xiao then remembered something and muttered:
"This is... a sealing scroll from the Naruto series?"

Cheng Xiao vaguely remembered hearing Li Xiao mention it.

There was a time when we faced the Japanese team in a team battle and they used this item.

It can also be considered a type of spatial prop.

However, it's much cheaper than a spatial bag or storage ring. (End of Chapter)
