"Crunch...... Crunch"

The house was already quite dilapidated, so much so that Ning An would make a piercing "creaking" sound even if he just stepped lightly on the stairs.

"Fluorescent Scintillation"

The two of them lit their wands at the same time, unlike the first floor, the light on the second floor was even darker, the windows were covered with heavy curtains, the curtains were covered with cobwebs, it was even dirtier here than the first floor, Ning An had just stepped on the floor when dust was splashed under his feet.

"Wait a minute..."

Ning An suddenly raised his hand and blocked Calidora, who looked at Ning An suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ning An's serious expression, Carly also lowered her voice and asked closer with a suppressed voice.

"Hmm..." Ning An frowned, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you hear anything?" ”

"Voice?"

Calidora pricked up her ears as well

"yes, it's the kind of rustling, as if something is moving." Ning An explained in a low voice.

"Kiln - Kiln"

"Yes, yes, it's very similar, that's the sound." Ning An laughed, Calydora had imitated the voice very realistically just now.

"Uh... Ning An, I don't think I'm imitating" Calidora smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Huh?!"

Ning An involuntarily clenched his wand, sweat gradually oozed from his palms, if there was really something in front of him, he believed that it would not be a gentle and harmless animal like a unicorn...

"Be careful, Carly." Ning An turned around and instructed, Calydora nodded, and also carefully clenched her wand, and the two of them, step by step, walked as gently as possible towards the corridor deep on the second floor.

"Click-" However, after only a few steps, Ning An felt a "creak" under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. He slowly lowered his wand and shone it at his feet.

"Scared!" Ning An'an was startled, and where the wand's light illuminated, there were white dead people's bones scattered irregularly on the ground.

"What is this!" Calydora in the back also saw the white bones and asked in surprise.

Ning An raised his wand a little higher, this time roughly showing the outline of the white bone corpse, scattered on the ground that looked like ribs, skulls, leg bones, and some bones that Ning An didn't recognize, and he seemed to have stepped on a hip bone just now.

Ning An couldn't tell if these bones were all from a corpse, but judging from the fact that he easily stepped on one of them, the original owner of these bones should have been dead for a long time.

In any case, this also seems to confirm Ning An's bad premonition, this old mansion may not be safe.

The two continued to move forward, and at this time, the sound of "rustling" in their ears became clearer and clearer, and Ning An's footsteps became slower and slower. Finally, they came to a room in the middle of the hallway.

Stopping and listening, a strange voice came from behind the door, and it seemed that there was something in the hut.

Ning An made a gesture to Calidora, signaling the latter to blast open the door directly, now Ning An is very confident, he doesn't think that a few ghosts, zombies or anything can hurt him.

Caridora nodded when she saw Ning An's gesture, and the next moment, she calmly raised her wand, aimed at the dilapidated wooden door, and suddenly shouted:

"Divided!"

The wooden door exploded in an instant, and a dark figure could be faintly seen standing in the middle of the room in the smoke and dust, Ning An didn't give the other party any chance to react, he stretched out his wand

"Faint!"

A powerful yellow beam of light hit the black shadow, and under the effect of the impact, the black shadow was directly knocked to the ground, never to get up again.

"Isn't that easy?"

Ning An and Calydora clapped their hands, and then walked into the house. At this time, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Ning An finally saw the black shadow lying on the ground clearly.

It was a terrifying-looking monster, like a hunched gnoll, covered in hair and claws, with a pair of long fangs, and a cyan face that resembled those man-eating trolls.

"Ghouls?"

Behind her came the voice of Calidora's surprise, she put away her wand, and said with some amusement:

"Looks like we've got hurt by mistake... It's not some dangerous guy. ”

Seeing that Ning An looked a little puzzled, Calidora explained:

"Uh... They look scary, but they're just harmless little monsters - many wizards have ghouls in their attics or barns. ”

As she spoke, she showed a look of reminiscence

"I remember when I was a kid I seemed to see one hidden in my stable... These guys usually eat things like spiders and moths, and at worst they just yell at someone they meet and scare you. ”

"But how can there be ghouls here?" Ning An was still a little puzzled.

"Nothing strange...... Voldemort, after all, must have lived here. Calidora hesitated

"Well, but ......"

"Wait a minute—" Ning An was about to say something, but was abruptly interrupted by Calydora, who was shocked and pointed to a sofa in front of the fireplace next to the room.

"What the hell!"

Ning An only then did he realize that on the sofa he didn't pay attention to, there was clearly a figure in a dress, and the white hair seemed to be an old man, and he was facing away from the two of them at this time, and for some reason he didn't react to what happened just now.

For this strange situation, Ning An and the others were also confused, the two glanced at each other, and slowly walked around to the front of the side of the sofa.

Ning An only then found that the old man was leaning on the sofa, but his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep. They walked up to the old man and saw a silver-haired old man in a simple dress, his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around him.

"He's not dead, is he?"

Ning An asked guessingly, and as he spoke, he squatted down, carefully put his fingers in front of the old man's nose, and snorted tentatively. ”

The fingers didn't feel any breath, whether it was breathing in or out, it seemed that it was a dead man sitting here.

"Startle me...... Ning An stood up again, shook the hand he had just stretched out, and said lightly:

"It looks like it's all a false alarm."

"Don't you think it's strange?"

But Calydora did not furnish her brow, she supported her chin with one hand, and tapped her head lightly with the other wand, and said:

"The corpse you stepped on in the hallway has turned to bones... But look at this man—"

As soon as Kalidora said, Ning An reacted, yes, no matter how the person before died, the person in front of him died too strangely. Although he had no breath, his body was still full, and although his skin was wrinkled, it was no different from a living person. The most important thing is that there is no sign of decay anywhere it is exposed, whether on the face or on the limbs.

This also surprised Ning An, according to the degree of dust accumulation in this house, no matter how you look at it, it has not been inhabited for a long time, and this old man should not have died recently.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind the two, and Ning An instantly took out his wand, turned around, and pointed behind him.

"Wait—it's me!" It was Daphne.

She saw Ning An put down her wand, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and said:

"I thought you were going to give me a stun spell."

"You've always been so reckless, and I'm glad I don't know the Killing Curse."

"I searched all over the first floor and couldn't find the notes you mentioned, and you two didn't come down for a long time, so I came up to look for you."

When Daphne came to the strange corpse and listened to Ning An and Calidora's explanation, she smiled excitedly again.

She smiled mysteriously at the two of them:

"In that case, why don't we put a few spells on this guy?"

"Aren't you afraid that this guy will turn into a zombie in the next second, jump up and bite you." Ning An scoffed Daphne.

"There's no other way to do it, we can't bring him back, and maybe such a strange corpse has something to do with Voldemort's notes?"

Daphne's last sentence touched Ning An, there is no reason why such a strange corpse would appear here, maybe it could really be a clue to find the note.

Caridora also nodded, the three of them had been looking for so long without yielding, and it seemed that they had to study this corpse.

"Okay, but we'll have to be careful."

Ning An nodded solemnly, motioning for Daphne and Calydora to step back. Then he raised his wand, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly shouted with a blessed heart

"Recover!"

He didn't understand why he used this spell, as if it was a glimmer of inspiration, and then a wave of energy struck the corpse of the old man in front of him.

"Hiss-huh-" After the spell struck the corpse for a moment, to everyone's surprise, as if the corpse had been tricked, the old man sitting on the sofa jumped up suddenly, like a diver who had just finished diving, opened his mouth wide, and desperately gulped in the dusty air.

"Ahh

Although the three of Ning An were a little guarded, they didn't expect a spell to directly bring the corpse back to life. Daphne sat down on the floor, and the other two were no better, both gasping.

"Here's what's going on!"

Ning An didn't understand the situation in front of him, but he quickly calmed down, and without giving the old man more time, he raised his dark wand and shouted quickly at the old man:

"It's all petrified!"

The spell shot out from the wand, but what everyone didn't expect was that this old man who looked old suddenly squatted at a speed that was difficult for humans to achieve, and actually escaped Ning An's magic.

"Ahem... Whew, ahem... Who are you, who have come to my house—what is the purpose? The old man squatted on the ground, coughing and breathing heavily, looking really suffocated.

"Who are you! How could this be your home. Ning An subconsciously shouted at him.

"Me? Am I William? Ralph? Baron Lesenbra! It's the owner of this room! The old man roared.
