Chapter 546 Critical
Chapter 546 Critical
What should I do?
Although he seemed to be in a passive position, Harry was actually clear-headed. His brain was working rapidly as he felt the body temperature behind him. This was the real Zhou Fu, not the fake one in the secret realm.
I haven’t seen her for such a long time, how come she’s taller than me?
Harry was thinking in a mess, but in fact his tentacles had already spread throughout the Hogwarts Castle.
The boundary at the far end of the Black Lake had begun to disappear gradually. This was what he and Dumbledore had planned from the beginning, to divide the entire wizarding world into several areas, and then investigate them bit by bit and throw out all the spies.
After a period of time, merge again.
But I didn't expect that guy's next move to come so quickly.
What to say now? Neville and Cedric are reluctant to go to the new world, but this is not an option. If they don't go in, they will disappear now.
Time is continuous and space and time are indescribable.
He thought about it, controlling his eyes so as not to roll around randomly to avoid being noticed by the people around him.
All of a sudden, the situation went from light to dark right under their noses. The moment Harry saw Zhou Fu, he had already been prepared.
They are all disobedient.
I don't know what will happen to Zhou Fu if she betrays that guy? Can the Qingcheng Mountain over there protect her?
Harry didn't know, but the safest plan was to send everyone present to the Room of Requirement.
Very urgent.
Maybe Neville didn't remember, but Harry remembered that these two guys had shown abnormalities from the very beginning and appeared as unique variables at the most critical moment.
Harry sorted out his thoughts and felt happy. It seemed that he had to rely on himself in the end.
Dobby the elf, who had been ignored by everyone, relied on Harry's control over the castle's authority to quietly lurk beside Neville. His big, round eyes looked at his master who seemed to be held hostage with some worry.
But at this moment, the master's voice sounded in my heart.
"Let some of them, including an elf, retreat first. They work for me. If they really fail, they will not have a good ending. The place to go is in Snape's office on the first floor below ground. There is a fireplace passage that I quietly opened."
Although little Dobby was unwilling, he still obeyed his orders even though his master was right next to him.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Although Dumbledore knew Zhou Fu's background, what happened behind the scenes in Qingcheng Mountain still made him wary of this mysterious woman.
He trusted Cedric and Neville and was sure they would not hurt Harry, but that was not necessarily the case with Zhou Fu.
But when did they become a group? Dumbledore had calculated everything, but he still couldn't connect these three unrelated people.
At most, Cedric and Neville had been quieter recently. Harry had mentioned their abnormalities to himself, but just like other people with abnormalities, they were only abnormal for a moment and then returned to normal.
The remaining so-called anchor points were also sent back to their original world one by one by Harry.
Georges was somewhat dissatisfied, but at this moment, the hope of survival was right in front of him.
Harry must wake up and willingly turn himself into a bead, then someone will naturally send him into the belly of the person in the secret realm.
The most critical step.
He suppressed his extremely disgusted thoughts and followed the group of people up little by little.
Dobby soon appeared, and he followed Georges quietly, ready to listen to his master's orders at any time.
The spiral staircase that usually seems a bit crazy now stays in place peacefully.
As Dumbledore was walking up the stairs, he suddenly asked Cedric, "There are still some students and two professors in the Slytherin common room on the underground floor. Aren't they going in?"
"They went in, but had no way to pass the screening and had no choice but to stay in this world." Cedric didn't say anything, but Neville explained.
Dumbledore nodded slightly. Zhou Fu, who was taller than him, looked at him warily. Harry's neck was a little red from being strangled. His heels tapped on the stairs little by little, making a tapping sound.
Dobby at the back clenched his fists and wanted to rush out very much.
No, it’s not the time the master said yet, I have to go ahead.
Seeing that everything was just as its owner had expected, it left and arrived at the eighth floor in advance. It took out a huge box from a classroom. There was a small bottle in the box with some dirt stuck on the cork, hidden in the cracks.
Several people came to the House of Requests. This house had abandoned its former seclusion, and the door was wide open. It seemed to be the last boundary. There were some figures behind the blue halo. They looked at the figures that suddenly appeared in the door with some surprise.
A strange girl supported Harry Potter and walked up with Dumbledore. Then the aperture gradually expanded and Draco could easily see Cedric and Neville standing by like door gods.
The aperture suddenly opened, was it because of their arrival?
Or because the space has become extremely unstable, this channel will disappear soon.
Harry asked me to pick him up, could it be this time?
Draco wanted to take action, but a voice in his heart quietly stopped him.
It was unknown when Harry would be able to communicate with him mentally again, but he felt very excited.
Zhou Fu, a dangerous person, cannot enter that space with these children. This is Dumbledore's only reason for coming here. Moreover, her position is unclear and she seems to have some dealings with that guy.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore said, "Okay"
He put his wand on his belt, then spread his hands and slowly stepped into the aperture.
"Your goal has been achieved. Come in, children."
Is Dumbledore so easy to obey?
This was the thought of almost everyone present. They were all a little confused as to what he wanted to do.
But the goal has been achieved. Zhou Fu looked at Draco on the side and asked, "How long can this limit last?"
Draco looked at the aperture that was still expanding. From the outside, he could even see the dilapidated cave inside.
Dumbledore seemed to have let down his guard and looked with interest at the people who were staying quietly in the cave and the little light at the end of the cave.
"It turns out there are snowy mountains outside. What an amazing place." He exclaimed, feeling very relaxed.
Neville led Cedric in, and Dobby hid in a small corner, confused. Should he open the cork? Things were not quite the same as his master had described.
Harry didn't expect this, but great strength can make miracles happen. No matter if he was sincere or not, he couldn't get out once he got in.
He could vaguely feel that there was another self hiding in the crowd. He changed his appearance and looked at a small number of souls that he had abandoned at the beginning of the plan, and finally met them again at the end of the plan.
Harry could feel the incomparable attraction coming from another self, which made him eager to open his eyes, break free from the restraints of Zhou Fu, and then merge with that guy.
But no.
Georges didn't know whether he should go in or not. The guy said that only if he turned into a bead again would he be able to escape the curse forever.
But Harry was unconscious now, and he glared fiercely at Neville who had just attacked Harry.
The hope of life is right before my eyes. Maybe, maybe, I can get out without having to atone for my sins.
Georges also came in.
Then one after another, Zhou Fu sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, holding Harry. To outsiders, they looked like a close couple, but if you sat closer, you could see that her wand never left Harry's neck, and Draco returned to his original position.
They were all silent, waiting for the cave to close, waiting for the last connection with the world to disappear completely.
Should I throw it away now?
Dobby shook his huge head. His brain capacity was not enough to think about such a complicated problem. He only knew to listen to his master completely.
The pink mist inside the small bottle is flowing slowly.
At this time, Harry's voice sounded again in its heart.
"You sneak in quietly without being noticed, bring the bottle in with you, and then open the cork in the crowd."
Dobby felt that there was something wrong with this command, but with his master now unconscious in front of everyone, it was difficult for him to communicate with him.
"Cover Dobby and let him go in without being discovered." Just when Draco was at a loss, Harry's voice appeared again.
On the other side, Dobby heard his master's voice in his heart, "Draco will cover you, just like usual, you stay on his side."
Dobby swallowed, then looked at Draco, who had been sitting quietly but suddenly stood up, and realized that this was his chance.
Harry, who was pretending to be unconscious, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dobby coming in. He had just looked around but couldn't find the little guy.
Fortunately, fortunately, now we just have to wait for that boundary to close, and everything will be fine.
A countdown appeared in front of Dumbledore. One hour and forty minutes had passed, and there were still twenty minutes left before he could fulfill his promise to Grindelwald.
However, this aperture would not be able to last for such a long time. No matter what Harry's plan was, Dumbledore could see his slightly trembling eyelashes, his uncontrollable sliding eyeballs, and the silver threads that were extremely conspicuous under his gaze.
Neither will succeed.
A child should enjoy the happiness of childhood instead of taking on such a heavy responsibility of saving the nation and the world.
It's fine as long as I and that old guy Grindelwald are held accountable for what we have done.
He suddenly felt very happy, humming an unrhythmic tune and watching the aperture grow bigger and bigger.
Then the entire dim cave was almost completely illuminated, and everyone took this opportunity to take another look at the old school. If nothing unexpected happened, the place that was once full of memories could no longer be seen.
Countless people felt sad, but no one wanted to destroy this place together. They were all glad that they could stay here.
As someone who has extended his hand through the light film, you can leave here when the time comes.
Zhou Fu relaxed her guard slightly. As the person closest to Harry, she knew very well that this guy was pretending to be unconscious. It was just that everyone tacitly agreed on a reasonable reason to come to this place.
Dumbledore came here peacefully, and Harry should be satisfied.
I don't know what's going on between the two of them. They obviously have such a tacit understanding, but neither of them is willing to say a word to each other, adhering to the principle that silence is golden.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there, the aperture has reached its maximum, and the next moment it’s approaching the critical limit it will shrink rapidly, then turn into a point of light, and finally disappear completely.
But there were some noises coming from the other side of the stairs. There was a lot of scrambling and it seemed that the people on the underground floor were released at some point.
They all ran towards the eighth floor as fast as they could. This was their hope for survival, and no one wanted to die here.
The beautiful world should be shared by everyone. They deliberately ignore what they have done and run towards their hopes regardless of everything.
A pet elf blended in with the crowd, using magic to stabilize its body at a level that was neither too low nor too high.
Why couldn't the elves leave? Potter was absolutely talking nonsense. Those idiots didn't know anything and just left.
It had stolen the wand from the man in Snape's office, and was preparing to burst into the Room of Requirement at the last minute.
But how can I avoid being noticed? That is to make the scene into a mess, so that they are all busy controlling these irrational and stupid wizards, and I can reap the benefits.
No one expected that the person imprisoned on the underground floor would suddenly run out. Dumbledore was about to get up and go outside to take a look, but he didn't expect Zhou Fu to put his wand against Harry's neck again.
"You, can't." Then she looked around and finally saw Georges hiding in the corner.
"Can you go out and see what's going on?"
It was obvious that the connection was about to be severed in the next moment, so Georges naturally refused.
Suddenly the sound outside disappeared.
Dumbledore was a little puzzled. After coming to this space, the weak connection between him and the castle disappeared completely.
The silver threads that Harry left in the castle were arranged into layer upon layer of fine barriers. At the same time, some of them were silently broken into dozens of sections, which penetrated into people's bodies by contact with the skin and controlled their minds.
There was one thing he didn't expect.
Harry didn't know if this was the person who sold the information inside, but it was very strange that it appeared here.
Since Zhou Fu sealed dozens of his silver threads, most of them were not enough and some images began to become blurry.
Soon, soon.
The corners of Georges' mouth gradually widened. Cedric and Neville looked at each other. They both breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Zhou Fu who was sitting in front of them. Thanks to her, everything was completed smoothly.
The aperture suddenly narrowed.
Zhou Fu put Harry aside. Now the mission should be completed and he should leave here.
Unexpectedly, Harry and Dumbledore acted quickly, but in different directions.
