Chapter 48: Aragog

readx;?“ What time is it? ”

"It's faster, it's better if she doesn't come. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infow?w?w?.?”

Hallie herself is a super atomic clock, and she can tell what time it is without looking at her watch or spells, and it will be the appointed time soon. Although she is very grateful to this senior sister for bringing her information and a hundred contract books, Harley still doesn't like her (I'm afraid that normal people don't like the BL book when she is drawn), and it is best to be captured by Snape on the way.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is not subject to Hallie's will. As both hands of Ron's watch pointed to zero, the shadows in the doorway twisted, and a nasty figure appeared in front of Harley's eyes.

"Arrive on time, let's go."

The senior sister picked up Harley and walked outside.

"Hey... Senpai..."

"Don't be a senior sister, I have a name, you haven't played or played, senior sister, you cursed me to be how senior sister is..."

"That..."

"My name is Nobuko Kudo, whatever you want to call it, as long as you don't curse me. By the way, don't think about it, my family has nothing to do with that Grim Reaper elementary schoolboy..."

Hallie was dazed when she heard this, and she understood the stalk of the senior sister (Ba Asami), but what kind of stalk was the Grim Reaper elementary school student. Since you don't want to be called senior sister, then just call me by name, as long as you don't think I'm rude.

It seems that including my sister, I don't like the word "senior sister" very much, and I will really turn around when I am always honored as a senior sister? I must let Ginny change it another day, and don't call it anymore, Senior Sister or something.

"Kudo also came to study abroad from RB?"

On the way to the Forbidden Forest, Harley kept stirring up the topic, hoping to get to know more about this senior sister.

Hallie used to know very little about Nobuko Kudo.,After motherhood, I learned in the girls' circle that there was a BL club among the senior girls in the school.,This Kudo senior sister is the initiator.,After drawing a lot of bl fanbooks before her motherhood.,So I stayed away.。 But now this senior sister has clues in the secret room in her hands, and she has to collect as much information as possible.

"Even though I'm from RB, I actually grew up in London because my father was the head of the company's UK bureau."

This made Harley breathe a sigh of relief. Since he is a Japanese expatriate living in the UK, the possibility of having a connection with Xana in RB is very low. I don't have to worry about Xana being polluted and becoming a rotten girl after she comes back from a summer vacation.

Woohoo!

As he passed by Hagrid's hut, Toothtooth barked when he heard the movement, and Ron looked at Harley and pointed to the door, asking if it might be useful to take Hagrid's dog with Tooth to patrol the Forbidden Forest on a regular basis.

"We don't have teeth."

Hallie thought about it for a moment and shook her head. This dog proved to have little combat effectiveness during his trip to the Forbidden Forest last year, that is, it was used to strengthen his courage and run faster than anyone else when he encountered danger.

"Are you ready?"

Hallie and her party gather their gear one last time at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Although there were outsiders, he still pulled out the full set of equipment in consideration of the danger, Ron put on a low-light night vision device, not to mention, Harley also gave an extra laser gun to defend himself, and Ron's broken wand was still broken.

"I've got my own means, so I'd better use these gadgets for Ron."

Nobuko Kudo didn't ask for night vision devices, and she was very calm about Ron's gun, so she didn't even look at it a second time. This made Harley, who was still worried that the senior sister would scream when she saw these equipment, breathed a sigh of relief and became more curious about her identity.

"Let's go."

A team of unmanned reconnaissance planes was released to open the way, and the group headed towards the interior of the Forbidden Forest while observing whether there were spiders on the ground. It didn't take long for the harvest to take place, and two lone spiders in the meadow were hurrying away into the shadows of the shadows.

"Keep up!"

The drone floats in the air to track and draw a road map, and Harley carefully follows behind, patrolling the spider's path through the Forbidden Forest. It was a long way from the path that had been trodden on, and everyone was fighting with all kinds of weeds, trees and vines.

"Kudo, what kind of magic are you? It's amazing. ”

Harley and Nobuko Kudo were floating forward, so that they could avoid the vines and grass beneath their feet. Harley herself relied on an anti-gravity device, but she didn't expect Nobuko Kudo to have a similar method.

"It's just a normal levitation charm."

"It's not ordinary at all."

The two of them floated and walked in front, but Ron, who was unable to float behind, wore a robe and used his hands and feet to become poi.

"I'm really... Walk... Can't walk ......."

Ron finally couldn't walk anymore, sticking out his tongue and lying on the ground, his clothes torn a lot.

"Stop, the spider ran away. Get up for me! ”

Ron was still lying on the ground like a dead poi. In the end, Harley simply used levitation to float Ron and tied a rope and dragged him away.

It's been more than an hour since he entered the Forbidden Forest, and now it's a completely unfamiliar depths of the Forbidden Forest, and even his air combat training with Xana rarely goes deep into this area. I didn't feel much when I skipped through the sky, but now that she was down to earth and went deep into such a remote and dark place, Harley also felt a little hairy.

Harley remembered that Hagrid had said that when walking in the Forbidden Forest, don't deviate from the forest path, the path that was stepped out of the Forbidden Forest at some unknown time, was a relatively safe route in the Forbidden Forest, and leaving it meant danger, the farther away it was, the more dangerous it was, but this time Hagrid said to follow the spider.

"Oh, it's in the hole, damn it!"

followed, there was a situation that everyone didn't expect, the spider that followed along the way actually drilled a hole, and the drone could only hover back and forth at the entrance of the hole. Harley knelt down on one knee and checked, the width of the hole was not as wide as a fist, and inside was a complex spider web structure dozens of meters deep.

"Hallie, what should I do..."

Being in the Forbidden Forest and losing spiders, Ron was very nervous, holding a laser gun and constantly aiming around, as if there was a monster hiding in the dark.

"Shhhh

Sensing that something was wrong, Harley stopped Ron's commotion and activated the radar to scan. Feedback signals indicate that Ron's nervousness is not unfounded, and several large groups of infrared heat sources are slowly surrounding from all sides. There are even those in the rear, and it is estimated that they have been following for a while, and now they have received support from around and are ready to close the net.

"Kudo, how good are you at dealing with group fights?"

Harley quietly activated her magic channel, telling Ron to put the gun into rapid-fire mode as well. These heat sources are already almost within the detection range of night vision devices, and they are getting faster and faster, which is a prelude to an attack.

"No matter how much you come, you're a big husband!"

Harley was puzzled to see that Nobuko Kudo didn't have a wand in her hand but an extra flower, but now she didn't have time to ask, and the shadows had already begun to attack. Senior sister, let's let the drone block it first, I really can't stop myself from taking care of Rondo.

"Fire-fire!"

Countless magic bullets flashed around Harry, aiming at the monsters that pounced in the darkness.

"Spider! What a big spider! A lot! ”

The explosion of the magic bullet lit up the glade, and Ron was surprised to see spiders bigger than a bull pounce on them from the darkness, and then be torn apart by Harry's magic bullet.

"Merlin!"

Ron howled, firing the laser gun at full speed, desperately shooting laser pulses at the swooping spiders. Having also participated in the basic tactics course of the interstellar infantry (otherwise Harley would not have dared to give him a gun), Ron held his way with the weapons of the future.

"Kudo, you're over there... Well, well done......"

In front of Nobuko Kudo was a large field of red roses, and as soon as the spiders rushed into the range of the rose field, they became swaying, and then Harry's smart drones with security programs happily went up to mend the knives, so they all rushed into the street.

The three of them slaughtered, and soon countless spider corpses were left in the woodland, only a few who were far away escaped without caring about their luck, and the rest were all annihilated.

"Slydrin monsters can't be these guys, right?"

The battle was over, and Ron was on his knees, holding his gun, gasping for air. The battle just now was exciting enough for the guy who had only trained on the virtual shooting range, and it was okay in the battle, but now that the adrenaline level is down, looking at the piles of spider corpses, Ron's legs and stomach are so weak that he can't get up, and he is about to lie down.

"Absolutely not. These spiders are fierce, yes, but they are not Medusa, and they don't have the ability to petrify people. ”

Harley holds the drone's slice analysis report and dismisses Ron's speculation.

On the other side, Nobuko Kudo directed the vines to pile the dead spiders together, these vines have the ability to decompose corpses, and Harley saw that as the vines were wound up one by one, the corpses were shrinking, but fortunately there was no smell.

"Cut, I really didn't plant it, I thought I was going to play with the sea of dogs."

Nobuko Kudo, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, seemed to be still unsatisfied, and the corners of Hallie's eyes twitched at these words. If the spider is really like the sea of dogs of Zerg, then it will be a big trouble, okay, in that case, the best outcome is to retreat from the air with the two of them, and how to find information about the Slydlin monster.

"Let's move on?"

"Still moving forward? Never! I'm going home..."

Ron whimpered in fear.

"Shhhh Listen..."

Click... Click...

There was a strange sound in the distance, mixed with some words, and Harley tried to identify what seemed to be "Aragog"? Countless targets with the same infrared signatures as just now slowly surrounded them from a distance, and it was a few spiders that had just escaped and called for reinforcements.

"The second wave is coming, get ready!"

But this time the spiders did not attack, they just slowly approached the edge of the battlefield just now, lingering in the shadows beyond the firelight, constantly dancing their claws.

"Aragog!"

"Aragog!"

The spiders kept shouting this.

"The Lord is coming."

Kudo-senpai said suddenly.

Before he could finish speaking, the spider colony in the distance suddenly separated, and an oversized spider that had never been seen before crawled slowly. Hallie is full of déjà vu, how can it be like in the movie, the club brother was beaten outside, and the boss rushed to support the scene?

"Stranger, why are you attacking my child?"

It's a spider the size of a baby elephant, and it's very old. Its body and legs were black and gray, and every eye on its ugly head with large claws was covered with a layer of white flakes, and it was blind.

"You attacked first, we just defended ourselves."

Hallie said.

"This is our territory, get out of here!"

Facing Harley and his entourage, who have strong combat power, no matter how you hear this, it feels like a fierce inward-looking.

"Outsiders are not welcome except Hagrid!"

Hallie's spirit is shocked, Spider knows Hagrid? These spiders aren't the ones Hagrid is looking for.

"We are friends with Hagrid. Hagrid was in trouble, so that's why we're here. ”

"Trouble?"

The old spider said. Harley felt a little more concerned in her loud clattering voice.

"But why did he send you? Hagrid had never sent anyone to our hollows before, and had killed so many of my children. ”

"I said, you did it first, we're just defending ourselves!" Hallie didn't want to dwell on the issue, "At school, they think Hagrid recently released something to harm the students. They took him to Azkaban. ”

Click, click, Aragog danced his claws angrily, and the sound was echoed by the swarm of spiders.

"But that was many years ago." Aragog said angrily, "Many, many years ago. I remember it well. It was because of this that they let him out of school at that time. They believed I was the monster who lived in what they called a secret room. They thought Hagrid had opened the chamber and released me. ”

"You didn't come out of the secret room?"

"Me!" Aragog said, claw clicking angrily, "I wasn't born in a castle. I come from a faraway country. Before I hatched from the egg, a traveler gave me to Hagrid. Hagrid was just a child, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the crumbs that I had taken away from the table. Hagrid is a good friend of mine, he's a good guy. ”

"When people found me and asked me to take responsibility for a girl's death, he protected me. I've lived in the woods ever since, and Hagrid often visits me. He even found me a wife, Mosag. You can see how prosperous our family is, and it's all thanks to Hagrid..."

Harley felt that the other inhabitants of the forest might have a different view of this, and that no one wanted to be neighbors with a group of carnivorous spiders who were afraid of the soft and the hard.

"So you've never attacked anyone?"

"Nope." Old Spider said resentfully, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt a person. The body of the murdered girl was found in a bathroom. And I've never seen any part of the castle except the cupboards I grew up in. We spiders love darkness and silence..."

"Do you know what killed that girl?" "Because whatever it was, it's back attacking people..."

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound, and the spider swarm was in an unprecedented commotion.

"The guy who lives in the castle." "It's an ancient creature that we spiders fear the most," Aragog said. I remember vividly that when I felt the beast moving around the school, I begged Hagrid to let me go. ”

"And what is it?"

"We don't say it!" Aragog said violently, "We don't name it!" I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that horrible creature. Although he asked me, many times. ”

What is this? I know I just don't say it!

"Alright, I've told you everything I can say, get out of here! Get out of here and don't come back! ”

The spiders are starting to chase people again.

"Then let's go."

I'm afraid I can't ask more, this group of spiders has something to do with Hagrid, and I'm afraid it will be sad to really kill Hagrid and come back.

"Hurry up!"

The spiders retreated into the darkness and quickly moved away.

"Gross..."

Not long after leaving, Ron held on to a tree and began to vomit desperately. Harley knew that Ron was afraid of spiders, and he had endured it so hard just now, and it was good to spit it out now.

"Follow the spiders," Ron said weakly, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "I'll never forgive Hagrid." If we weren't strong enough, we would have become food for spiders before we could speak. ”

"I dare say he thought Aragog wouldn't hurt his friends."

"Hagrid's problem is here!" Ron said, hammering the tree hard, "He always thinks monsters aren't as bad as people make up, look at what happens to him!" Locked up in a cell in Azkaban! ”

"What's the point of him sending us here? I wonder what we've figured out. ”

"Figured out that Hagrid never opened the chamber and that he was innocent."

Ron snorted loudly. Obviously, in his opinion, it would be a mistake to hatch Aragog out of the cupboard, let alone make a big swarm now.

"Kudo, what do you think?"

Harley wanted to hear what Nobuko Kudo had to say.

"My opinion is - secret, I'm sorry I can't tell it. asecretmakesawomanwoman。 ”

It's still like this, I know everything, I just don't say it, I'm not afraid of suffocation.

"But I can give you a hint, hint plus the matter of the Forbidden Forest, you owe me a favor. Don't pass the buck when you need help in the future. ”

"Well, as long as it doesn't violate the oath I once made, and it's within my power and reasonable request, then it's fine."

Harley thought for a moment and agreed to Nobuko Kudo's request according to the Knights' standard answer.

Nobuko Kudo is so mysterious that Harley can't understand it, so she has to keep a vigilance and leave enough back in the promise. The other party's request is reasonable and naturally the best, if you try to play word games to engage in devilish contracts, standard contracts and the right of final interpretation, then the power of the Knights' sacred oath is enough to crush all the devil's tricks.

"The hint is the girl who was unfortunately killed. The old spider said she was found in the bathroom, did you think of anything? ”

"You mean..."

Harley felt like she was one layer away from the truth, but still a little bit.

"What if the girl never left the bathroom? If she's still there..."

"Weeping Myrtle!"

Harry's eyes lit up, and if she said that, the victim was probably the crying myrtle.

If there is one quickest way to find a murderer, it is to ask the victim for the most straightforward way. Especially for the dead victim, if you can talk to the deceased, then in most murders in the world, you can find important clues to the direct murderer.

"Okay, now that you know what to do, I'm going to catch up on sleep."
