Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 144: Escape
Matthew Wakefield forced himself to calm down.
The more critical the situation is, the more important it is to remain as calm as possible.
He looked at Tom Gaunt's ferocious, distorted face, and the other party actually knew his name... There is no time to think about how he knew... But one thing is certain, he must be for From that book...
Matthew's left hand shrank toward his waist without leaving a trace.
He knew very well that he would definitely not be Tom Gunter's opponent; now he can only hope that the book... hope that it can control his body again like that day in the fighting club... that There is a chance of escape.
"That's right, there are eight secret passages between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade," Matthew replied calmly, "Most of them were built during the goblin rebellion in 1612... there is no Doubtful, one of them leads from the third floor of Hogwarts Castle to the basement of Honeydukes Candy Shop!"
"It seems that one day, I didn't follow you into that candy store. It really was a mistake," Mr. Gunter sneered, "But today, I won't be lost again!"
"What do you want, sir?" Matthew moved his left hand slightly half an inch toward his waist, and he asked, "Is that the book?"
"Yes... that's right..." Mr. Gunter suddenly showed an uncontrollable smile on his face, making his expression look particularly ferocious, "I have been waiting for a long time... since more than a year ago Start... no, since eleven years ago, I have been waiting..."
"I can give it to you, it doesn't belong to me..." Matthew continued calmly, "It's just that there is one thing..."
Before he finished his sentence, Matthew suddenly felt that Mr. Gunter's eyes, which were already full of bloodshot eyes, became even more red...
At the same time, a powerful force came from the red light...it was impossible to resist, it was impossible to resist...it was as if all thoughts had been seen through, and there was no desire to speak...
He could no longer see what was in front of him, and pictures flashed through his mind like a movie... Matthew Wakefield, like a piece of meat on a chopping board...
On the lawn of Wetton Road, he took the letter from Hogwarts from the postman... In the room in Diagon Alley, Penelope Clearwater was introducing Hogwarts to him... …He wore the Sorting Hat and heard the Sorting Hat put him in Slytherin...Agnes Lestrange came up at the banquet and asked if he wanted the rice pudding...Part 2 In a transformation class, Professor Edward Troka taught him to learn to observe and imagine, to be decisive and cautious...
"Get out!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from my mind.
It was Matthew's voice, but the tone of his speech was completely different from his usual, appearing extremely indifferent.
"Ah——"
A scream sounded from the ear at the same time, it was the scream of Tom Gunter.
The familiar image of the Shrieking Shack is back, and it all feels real again.
Matthew saw that Tom Gaunt was covering his eyes, as if seeing something he shouldn't have seen... He looked very painful, and even traces of blood leaked from the gap between his fingers... ...
This is an opportunity, no doubt about it!
…
With the fastest speed, Matthew pulled out the wand from his waist with his left hand.
Aiming at Mr. Gunter, who has not yet fully recovered, his voice is loud and calm:
"Expelliarmus!"
A bright red light shot out from the wand!
The body is still under her control, Matthew can feel it... But she thinks that the disarming spell used this time is no worse than when it was in the duel club...
Countless dust was lifted from the floor, and the situation in front of me was somewhat unclear.
I don't know if the spell hit the opponent or if it caused any damage to the opponent...
Matthew also had no time to take care of those things. Without hesitation, he jumped into the secret passage on the floor.
The secret passage is not too deep, and you can reach the bottom in at least a few seconds.
Matthew looked up at the entrance above. Obviously, Mr. Gunter had already reacted, and he was trying to get into this secret passage.
Matthew will not give him this chance——
"Disarm... Disarm... Disarm..."
While retreating, he desperately released the strongest spell he could use towards the entrance of the cave.
A stream of red light spewed out.
There was a tremor in the surroundings... Apparently this is the first time that this secret road with a history of hundreds of years has experienced such a strong vibration, it can't hold it anymore... From time to time, clods of soil fall from the side...
Matthew didn't care.
Even being buried alive in the tunnel here is a better ending than being captured by a terrible black wizard... After all, even if you are "buried alive" here, there is still a possibility of being rescued... What's more, the secret There is a high probability that the other side of the road is connected.
"Disarm you!"
There was another bright red light, and then there was a loud noise at the entrance of the secret passage ~IndoMTL.com~ It seemed that the entrance over there had collapsed.
Matthew quickly turned around, bent his waist very low, and at the same time moved forward as fast as possible...
…
The tunnel stretches forward from time to time, and the road becomes narrower and narrower.
There is no sound behind him, Tom Gunter seems not to follow...
Matthew only felt that he was very tired. When he was hit by Tom Gunter's "Instinct", his whole body became extremely weak... Then he was like crazy, and used it at least twenty times Disarming spell, so that now the left hand holding the wand is shaking constantly.
He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth in pain and inhaled forcefully, and at the same time he ran with his back bent...
About ten minutes later——
The tunnel begins to **** upwards slightly.
Matthew knew that Hogwarts was not far away.
You only need to climb this uphill to enter the territory of Hogwarts... Then you will be protected by Hogwarts' protective magic... At that time, he will be safe...
Matthew did not stop, but cheered up even more.
There seems to be a small curve ahead, and a glimmer of light appears on the other side of the curve.
Exit... The exit is coming...
Matthew strode over...
Then he stopped.
…
Tom Gaunt was on the other side of the corner, and he was sitting there lounging.
His dark red eyes are particularly conspicuous in the dark cave.
The previous ray of light came from the yew wood wand in his hand.
He raised his head and looked at Matthew with disdain: "The escape game is over!"
Then, Tom Gunter's body turned into a cloud of black mist, and Matthew Wakefield, caught off guard, was drawn into the black mist, and then he lost consciousness.
