Chapter 159 The only one who can fool Batman is Batman After leaving the Great Hall, Hermione did not return to the dormitory. She didn't dare to go back. Whenever she was alone, she felt that someone would come out and brutally kill her at any time. So Bruce gave a more appropriate suggestion. "Katoom has a little nest, and it's very cozy in there." Bruce said, "You can sleep there from now on. I'll be right next to you. You can rest in peace and don't have to worry about anything." Hermione accepted the offer. After Hermione fell asleep at Katum's house, Bruce lay in his bed with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time. 'Tomorrow, Hogwarts will be in a state of panic,' he thought.
Bruce tried many times on the stone bridge alone when the party was held. As long as you walk across the stone bridge, you will be immediately teleported back to the castle. I just suddenly returned to the castle and didn't feel anything unusual. Hogwarts, I can't leave anymore. "Katum, since the outcome is already determined, I decided to give it a try." Bruce said to the owl, "Now the whole Hogwarts has entered the Chamber of Secrets murder mode, I decided to join in, even if it is a bad ending, I have to see it. "Katum, you are sure you can salvage everything, right?" "No!" said the Owl suddenly. Bruce was stunned and sat up directly from the bed. "Are you kidding!" He said urgently, “I have doubted everyone, even my mother, but I have never doubted you! "You said everything could be salvaged, and I didn't even ask you for the details! "Because you're the only one who has my complete trust, and now you're telling me you're lying to me!" Looking at Bruce's anxious look, Katum shook his head. "That's not right," he said. "I'm not a human being." "Do you have to be so picky about words at this time?" Bruce was about to go crazy, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something. Picking out words? He asked tentatively, "So what did you mean by 'wrong' before?" "Hogwarts is not in chamber of secrets mode right now." Katum said naturally, "A closed room murder refers to a murder method in which the murderer uses a series of means to make all the evidence of the murder point to the closed space where the victim is located, without a second person, and the victim is not committing suicide.
“The masterpiece is The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe. “Our current mode should be called the Snowstorm Villa Mode, also known as the Isolated Island Mode. “My representative work is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.” Bruce was speechless for a moment. He fell back on the bed with a thud, muttering, "No one survived, no one survived." If the current situation continues, I won’t be able to find a solution. Hogwarts, the ending is that no one survives. "I thought they would be able to find out quickly if they were such obvious bad guys." Bruce said disappointedly, "I didn't expect that either. After all, we are all children. Who would have the heart to vote to kill someone? "Snape was here, so he should have been able to provide some guidance, but who could have imagined the result..." What happened to Snape also left Bruce puzzled. What does it mean to wander in an empty castle for hundreds of years? This is simply impossible! "Katum, do you have any thoughts?" Bruce asked. "No, but what does it matter?" Katoom spread his wings, the Time Turner pendant hanging from them, glowing. "Haven't we already decided to use a bad ending to explore more clues?" "Is this your method?" Bruce couldn't help but laugh, "I knew you didn't tell me the truth before!" Katum had repeatedly stressed to him before that he should not play with time. Using a time-turner to change the past will never give you the future you want. But now Katum has slapped himself in the face. "What solution have you come up with?" Bruce said, "I don't want to go back in time and create some flashpoint world." "I've always known how to really go back in time, I just didn't tell you." Katoom also grinned, "After all, I am King Katoom! Whatever comes into my hands, I will squeeze it, oh no, make the most of it. "All treasures are valuable only when they are owned by me, Katum!" Bruce nodded. "Then I'll believe your lies."
He closed his eyes. At this moment he finally felt at ease and could have a good sleep. But then Katum slapped him on the face. "Don't go to sleep yet." Katoom said, "Do you know who killed Harry?" “Not 100 percent sure.” Bruce closed his eyes and said, "So I plan to ask tomorrow." After saying that, he really fell asleep. Bruce has been worried too much these past few days. …… The next day, Hogwarts fell into endless panic just as Bruce had expected. The first is the disappearance of Headmaster Dumbledore. The legendary wizard disappeared from his office without any warning. Never find anyone again. Then came the second, even more terrifying thing. The entire Hogwarts Castle has been sealed off and no one can leave. As long as you take a step outside the castle, you will be suddenly teleported back into the castle. At this time, Vice President McGonagall had to step forward, first calm people's hearts, and then organize all the professors to discuss countermeasures together. It happened so suddenly that she had no idea what to do. "Can I Apparate out?" Professor McGonagall confirmed with Professor Flitwick. "I don't know how to put it..." Professor Flitwick's expression was a little strange, "The spell can be used, and I can even feel the feeling of my body being pulled when I Apparate, but after I Apparate, I am still in the castle." "Really……" Professor McGonagall gritted her teeth and tried not to look too worried. She turned to look at Professor Sprout, "Can I use Floo powder?" “Same result.” Professor Sprout said dejectedly, "You can feel the entire process of being transported by the Floo powder, but after landing, you are still in the chimney of Hogwarts Castle." "All right……" Professor McGonagall finally accepted the situation. She had tried the portkey herself before, and the result was exactly as they said.
"It seems that we are completely trapped in the castle." Professor McGonagall said, "How long will the food stored in the castle last?" "About ten days." The house elf in charge of the cafeteria gave the answer, "We are very lucky, we just did some shopping yesterday. "Of course, if everyone can save on food, maybe we can make it through a month." "Province!" There was a gleam of determination in Professor McGonagall's eyes. “It’s not just food. We have to prepare now. When the food is finished, we’ll eat herbs and potions! "If we finish eating all of this, there are still fish in the Black Lake, and there are still a lot of magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest..." At this point, Professor McGonagall glanced at Professor Newt. Professor Newt's expression was more painful than anyone else's. But he did not raise any objections. At this moment, all the children in the castle may face a food crisis. One more day of survival means one more day of hope. Professor Newt has devoted his life to protecting magical creatures. But at this time, how could he speak out against it? When people are hungry, they can do anything. "At least don't let me see it..." Professor Newt said painfully, "Don't let me see it..." Professor McGonagall nodded. She didn't want to see such a scene either. But there is no other way. "correct." Professor McGonagall suddenly looked at the professors and found that there seemed to be someone missing. "Where's Professor Gail Green?" …… Bruce walked in the corridor, passing by countless little wizards. They were whispering and looking uneasy. They all knew what had happened in the castle. It is no exaggeration to describe them as being in a panic at this moment. Bruce ignored all this and went straight to the Hufflepuff common room, heading to the area where senior students usually stayed. There, a handsome boy was lying on the sofa with a worried look on his face. "Cedric!"
Bruce called out the man's name directly. Cedric seemed startled, then he looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Bruce. "It is you!" Cedric sat up, "What do you want from me?" Bruce sat down next to him without any hesitation, lowered his head and lowered his voice to the lowest level. "I know everything." "I know that too." Cedric said absentmindedly, "The castle is blocked and we are all trapped inside." "That's not what I said!" Bruce stared at Cedric, "I'm talking about - the Banquet of the God of War!" Cedric's expression changed instantly. He suddenly looked at Bruce with an expression of disbelief. "you know?" He said, "Then why are you still here? I mean, why are you still sitting here!" Even Dumbledore is missing, how can Bruce act as if nothing happened? "I'm special, don't mind it." Bruce didn't dwell on this topic for too long and got straight to the point. "Cedric, the situation at the banquet is critical now, right?" "……Yes." Cedric really wanted to know how Bruce could do something that even Dumbledore couldn't do. But Bruce obviously didn't want to talk to him any further. He could only follow Bruce's topic. "very dangerous." Cedric sighed, "If the good guys don't vote, they'll be killed by the bad guys. But if they vote, they'll be considered bad guys again. If this continues, we'll all be dead." "Oh?" Bruce's eyes suddenly flashed at this moment. "So, Cedric, you really believe that the bad guys will kill us all!" "How can I not believe it?" Cedric was quite calm, and he responded directly to Bruce's gaze.
"Tell me why you don't believe it, Harry is dead!" "That was not what I meant." Bruce said, "I actually wanted to discuss with you about the bad guy team. I'm here to help you." Cedric looked at Bruce suspiciously. "There are three bad guys, right?" Bruce said, "I was wondering, three bad guys, killing six good guys, how did they reach an agreement when determining the target?" He looked at Cedric with a dim gaze. "At least we need to identify a leader first, right?" (End of this chapter)
