Chapter 17 Night Tour

As someone with an overpowered personality, Louis was quite confident in himself and had no doubt about whether he could complete the mission independently.

In the world of Detective Dee, he would at least have earned the title of "Hanging Spirit" in the Snake Spirit.

He was even more certain that Professor Snape would definitely be dubbed "The Oil Spirit".

Thinking this, he unconsciously knocked on Catherine's door.

A wisp of eerie green flame suddenly shot out from the crack in the door, almost licking his hair.

The door opened, and the senior's pale skin appeared exceptionally white under the moonlight.

Her cold gaze swept over Louis, and after a long while, she said coldly, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

As she spoke, a faint green flame suddenly burst into flame above her index finger.

"Miss Wallace," Louis said with a slight bow, smiling elegantly, "please forgive my abruptness in inviting you for a walk in this quiet night."

Catherine snorted and was about to close the door when Louis quickly stopped her, putting on a sincere smile: "Senior, will you take me to see the Forbidden Forest?"

"The Forbidden Forest is not your home, Junior Deer," Catherine said coldly. "I think you should understand that such a dangerous place is not for a small animal like you to venture into."

Louis didn't say anything, but handed her a bag of magical glacial water.

"Try it, and in exchange, I can provide you with this magic water."

Catherine glanced at the vintage leather bag, unscrewed the lid, and took a small sip. After a moment, she slowly said:

"Very good, you've successfully convinced me."

She squinted her eyes, feeling her magic power rapidly recover, and felt quite comfortable.

……

It seems that Catherine's night-time exploration skills are no less than those of the Weasley twins. She and Louise not only perfectly avoided the patrolling Filch and his Mrs. Loris, but also very quickly found a secret passage and walked out of Hogwarts Castle with ease and elegance.

"Your birch sap—is there any more?" Catherine licked her lips with her pink tongue, still wanting more.

"Birch sap?" Louise didn't immediately understand what her senior was talking about.

"What other magical liquid could Little Deer have found besides birch sap?"

Louis was speechless for a moment, then rubbed out another bag of water and handed it to his senior.

"Let me know if you want more."

Now it was Catherine's turn to be speechless. She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that the reward for taking the fawn to the Forbidden Forest was only a bag of water, but it seemed that she had misunderstood.

This time, she began to truly take Louis seriously.

But Catherine had no interest in knowing Louis's ways; everyone has their own secrets.

She didn't want to lose this interesting junior student—and perhaps now she could add another nickname: "water dispenser."

"My needs... are quite large." The senior decided to test Louis, completely unaware that her words were ambiguous and suggestive.

"Don't worry, I'll meet any of your needs." Louis didn't realize he was being suggestive, and his words reassured his senior.

Most locations look completely different at night compared to during the day, especially places like the Forbidden Forest, which sounds scary just from its name, adding an extra layer of terror.

The woods under the cover of night were like a ghostly realm, and Louis stood outside the woods, his steps hesitant.

"Scared?" The senior's voice drifted over at just the right moment.

"It's a bit scary, but still acceptable."

How could Louis, a man, back down? This wasn't about completing a mission anymore; it was about upholding his manly dignity.

Besides, he is a seasoned proletarian fighter, so why would he be afraid of ghosts?

It must be said that the trees outside the Forbidden Forest are quite unique—just like the twisted, grotesque trees in Halloween cartoons.

Walking along the forest path, the atmosphere was unusually eerie and terrifying. It was unclear what kind of magic had been cast upon the Forbidden Forest, but a strange white mist permeated the air.

September nights in Scotland are still quite chilly; even with a school uniform robe over his shoulders, he felt a bit cold. Louis instinctively pulled the robe tighter, trying to keep warm.

With a howl, a wolf's howl rang out. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. Turning his head, he saw his senior's hand gripping his arm tightly. It hurt a lot, and her long robe was wrinkled from the grip.

"What's wrong?" Louis asked with concern, looking at his senior's pale face.

"It's nothing."

Catherine's voice was as arrogant as ever, but Louis keenly noticed that, contrary to his usual self, she was not sarcastic.

"You're scared, Senior Wore."

"Shut...shut up." A blush crept onto Catherine's pretty face.

She tightened her grip, causing Louis pain.

The system alert sounded at the right time, and the light screen on the panel slowly lowered, changing the mission description to "Find an evil cave on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest".

"Huh, what's this?"

Louis looked in the direction Catherine was pointing, and a cave-like cave came into view under the bushes not far ahead.

"It looks like a cave... Shall I go in and take a look? You wait for me outside."

Louis saw the pop-up quest prompt that said "Kill the dark creatures lurking in the cave," and in the spirit of seeking fortune in danger, he decided to go in and take a look.

The recommended level is still 10, and there shouldn't be any water elemental wave highlands situation.

Catherine looked at Louis with a questioning gaze and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in the cave?"

"I've loved adventure and treasure hunting since I was a kid," Louis lied without batting an eye. "My years of experience have honed my intuition, which tells me there must be treasure in this cave."

You can't blame him for deceiving Catherine. Could he really say, "I have a mission to clean the cave"? His senior probably thinks he's crazy.

Sometimes the truth is more outrageous than a fabricated story.

"You really are a fearless newborn deer... You have no idea what's in the Forbidden Forest." Catherine's tone was tinged with mockery. "With your reckless and daring personality, you'd probably be more suited to Gryffindor. I really don't know why you were sorted into Slytherin."

"Actually, I originally wanted to go to Gryffindor too," Louis shrugged. "But the Hat thinks I should go to Slytherin... I know what's in the Forbidden Forest. The Weasley twins said they saw giant spiders, oh, and ghosts..."

As luck would have it, just as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew by, carrying with it a sound that was neither crying nor sobbing.

"Fine, to avoid upsetting your little animal friends, let's go in together." The senior's tone was firm, but she tightened her grip on Louis's arm.

As the weather gets cooler, remember to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold.
