The sudden sound made Rossi's heart skip a beat. When he looked for it, he saw a male ghost with an almost transparent body standing against the wall.
He looked haggard, and his slightly bulging eyes were wide open.
But what attracted Rossi's most attention was the shackles hanging around his neck and the faded blood stains on his robe.
"Bloody man...what's going on?"
Rossi had some impression of his image, but when he spoke, he couldn't remember his name.
"?? (Ghost), level 77, HP: ?/?."
"Is it necessary to set the level of these inconspicuous ghosts in the original work so high?"
Seeing the message floating above the other party's head, Rossi couldn't help but cursed and explained: "Hello sir, we don't mean any harm."
"Whether you have any malicious intent or not is not a question that I need to consider."
The ghost's voice was hoarse and cold, "All I have to do is capture you and hand them over to Dumbledore..."
"I advise you not to try to resist, otherwise I will go crazy, hahaha! Even the people I love will be killed."
The ghost laughed nervously, raised his wand and pointed it at the four people, as if he didn't want to talk to them anymore.
"No chance to negotiate at all!"
Rossi sighed inwardly and turned slightly sideways to look at his companion.
"What should I do? It's obvious that I can't beat him!"
Rossi couldn't help but smile as he instantly understood the meaning from Irene's innocent and anxious eyes.
After a simple eye contact, Rossi was about to speak when he heard Abo suddenly say loudly:
"Disperse and run!"
As he spoke, the wand in his hand drew rapid circles in the air.
"Confinement quickly!"
"Huh? Why is this like this?!!"
Seeing this, Rossi was stunned. "What my eyes express is: follow him to see Dumbledore!"
Feeling dumbfounded, Rossi had no choice but to cooperate with his companions in casting a spell on the ghost, hoping to stop his pursuit.
"The human form appears!"
"Confinement quickly!"
Use the Revealing Curse to prevent the opponent from using Shadowless to dodge, and then add a Confining Curse.
"In this way, even if he has a high level, he can always delay it for a while."
With his brain running rapidly, Rossi quickly rushed towards the large staircase leading to the second floor.
While stepping on the stairs with one foot, she turned over nimbly, using invisibility to hide her figure, and returned to the first floor silently, wiping the handrail of the stairs.
He looked back at the ghost not far away who screamed and broke free, and then glanced at his companions who were running in other directions. Rossi was about to escape from the passage next to the stairs into the first floor of Hogwarts underground, when he heard a sudden sound beside him. There was a "squeaking" sound of the door opening.
The startled Rosie immediately stopped and stood on the spot, looking intently, but he saw that the door of the administrator's office behind the grand staircase was opened from the inside.
An elderly man with a thin face and eyes like lightbulbs came out. He was holding a cat in his right hand and a lantern in his left hand, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's going on? Barrow?"
"A stranger has broken into Hogwarts, Filch!"
"What!"
Filch looked at him in surprise, walked up quickly and said, "Did you let him escape?"
"It's not him, it's them!"
While they were talking, the invisible Rossi sneaked in while the door of Filch's office was still open.
As soon as she entered the door, the pungent fish smell immediately made her regret setting foot in this office.
This office is not big, just big enough to accommodate a bed, a filing cabinet, and a set of desks and chairs.
There are many shiny silver chains and handcuffs hanging from the ceiling within reach, which are used by administrators to punish students who violate disciplines.
"Barrow, wait until I close the door, and I'll go find them with you!" Filch said in a tone full of malice.
…
Hearing the conversation outside, Rosie ignored the unpleasant smell and subconsciously walked quickly to the desk and hid herself.
boom!
Rosie heard the door to the room being slammed shut, and the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
"Phew, it's safe for now!"
After taking a long breath, Rosie's figure appeared in the small room.
Waiting for the invisibility CD to be turned on, Rossi professionally looked at the filing cabinet aside.
However, as soon as she got closer, the lavender light on the cabinet door gave up her intention to look through the files.
"I remember, isn't Filch a squib? Why is there still an aura of magic lingering on this cabinet door..."
Rossi muttered silently in his mind and turned his attention to the desk drawer.
The drawer looked tiny and had scratches all over its surface.
"I wonder if there will be anything good in this..."
Thinking of this, Rossi pulled it out with force.
However, in the next second, countless strange-looking items poured out of the drawer and spread all over the floor in a matter of seconds.
"Oops, I got into trouble..."
Sitting on these items, Rossi glanced at the office door guiltily, and stood up with difficulty while holding on to the office chair with only half of the backrest exposed.
Just as he was about to leave, his eyes were attracted by a piece of blank parchment gently attached to the pleated skirt.
"Hey, this parchment, could it be the Marauder's Map?"
"Ding, get a special magic item: Marauder's Map - Hogwarts (limited time prop): After opening it, a detailed map of Hogwarts (including most of the secret passages and how to open them) and the characters that appear on the map will be displayed. Everyone’s location. Turn on the spell: I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things; turn off the spell: the prank is over. Available time: 60 minutes. If the use time is exceeded, the prop will be automatically destroyed."
"It's really it!"
Rosie read the system prompts in surprise, then held up the parchment and whispered, "I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things."
"Ding, mission two, exploring the hidden places in Hogwarts, has been completed (Completion: 100%)."
As the map of Hogwarts gradually emerged on the parchment, system prompts also followed one after another.
"Huh? Dumbledore has returned to Hogwarts, and Snape is with him..."
Looking at the name displayed in the principal's office on the map, Rossi muttered silently and then looked away.
"Harry and Hermione are standing in a series of rooms between the fourth and third floors. Well, Ron is in another room not far from them. Have they passed that level of wizard chess?"
While thinking about it, Rossi suddenly saw the cursor with Filch's name on the map running rapidly down from the third floor.
"In such a hurry, could it be that he found me opening the drawer?"
His eyes scanned the room for a week, "Or, did he leave some special warning here?"
Thinking of this, Rossi didn't dare to stay here any longer. He immediately walked to the door through the strange objects on the ground, opened the door and ran out.
With the help of the Marauder's Map and the concealment effects of the Disguise Spell and Invisibility, Rossi was able to reunite with the three Erins who were being hunted by the Hogwarts staff.
"What an amazing map."
In a Y-shaped secret passage on the fourth floor that connected the armor corridor and the prize display room, Irene looked at the ever-changing graphics on the Marauder's Map and admired sincerely.
Abo next to him nodded in agreement, and then said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that it can only take 60 minutes."
"It's good, it doesn't need to be used all the time."
Regarding the limited time limit, Rossi is very satisfied, "It's limited time, just use it at critical times!"
"Well, limited-time props should be used at critical times."
Jiang Jing agreed, and then said, "But what I care about more is its suffix."
Erin asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Think about it, since there is the Marauder's Map - Hogwarts, will there be the Marauder's Map - the Ministry of Magic, or even the Marauder's Map - Brantania?"
This is a very logical inference. Abo nodded in agreement: "That being said, it is quite possible."
…
Seeing that they were getting further and further apart, Rossi quickly interrupted them:
"Oh, don't think about that now. The nearby NPCs have all gone away. Please hurry up and record these secret passages and how to open them. Let's set out to find another magic stone!"
