Harry opened his mouth, but said nothing, his fear was almost at its peak, for he remembered the clumps of ashes, and he had no doubt that something would happen to him.

The possibility was so terrible that he couldn't breathe for a while.

What a strange thing, he had an unparalleled fear of death, yet his heart beat extra strong, bravely keeping him alive. But it had to stop, and it had to stop soon.

An irrepressible fear came like a tidal wave, and the funeral-like drum beat in his heart, and all kinds of strange thoughts rushed to his mind for a while, and he didn't know if death would hurt.

Is it like the Avada Curse, with only a dazzling green light flashing, accompanied by a jumbled sound, as if an invisible behemoth flew through the air, and then the person who was attacked died?

The Grim Reaper's footsteps hurried, and he ruthlessly swung out the Soul Hooking Scythe that was invisible to the mortal eye, and then there were no visible scars on the person's body, but the life had disappeared in the body?

But the Avada Curse was at least able to leave a complete corpse, and the corpse would not show any visible scars.

Compared to an ancient and evil terrifying unknown magic capable of burning the entire inhabitants of a town to ashes at the same time, the Reacher's Curse is simply a younger brother, and there is no comparison...... Not to mention that it won't leave scars, it's simply a corpse that is completely crushed and scattered!

How can such an encounter not be frightening?

Listening to the strange and approaching voice, Harry was in a state of despair, limp and unable to ...... He ran in a panic in the fog for several minutes, not finding out where the original house and the team were, but exhausting his physical energy.

And he had nothing in his hands, not even a wand, and could only close his eyes and wait for death in the face of unknown danger in the mist.

And yet—

"I ...... I'm Harry, Harry Potter......" A sense of luck from the aftermath of the catastrophe still lingered in every cell in his body, and the boy felt his voice tremble a little, "What about you?" Who are you? ”

He stared at the pale-faced man and asked suspiciously, just thinking that he didn't have to die, it was really good.

"Harry Potter?" The man repeated in confusion, then shook his head vigorously, and then waved his hand desperately at the boy, "Okay, let's not talk about this now, get out of here quickly...... Find a place to hide! Don't let them find out! ”

"What?" Harry was slightly stunned, a little unable to understand what the other party meant.

"They're coming! They're coming! ”

The man seemed to be very frightened, just waved his hand again and again, repeated this paragraph in such a crazy whisper, and then he looked around for a moment, and then rushed into the mist without hesitation.

The sound of running footsteps quickly faded away, and almost at the same time, from the direction where the man had rushed before, there seemed to be a large hula sound in the distance, what seemed to be a flock of birds, and what seemed to be a flock of bats.

There is no doubt that -

Whatever it was, they were coming here at a rapid pace!

“……！！”

The boy felt his scalp explode in an instant, and his heartbeat, which had just managed to calm down, was close to the limit of the human body in an instant, even worse than the state he had just been.

This is actually very normal, he doesn't know that human beings have the ability to adapt to any emotion, and the fear caused by constant fright often does not continue to rise, but begins to weaken, because people are most frightened when they are caught off guard.

And if all kinds of fright points continue to appear and continue, then as long as the person is not a fool, then the person has already subconsciously prepared for the next stimulus...... In short, it's resistance.

On the other hand, if a person has just relaxed after being startled, and suddenly encounters another startle point at this time, then his fear will be more intense than the first time.

Harry is like this now, he just thought that there was no danger, and subconsciously let his emotions soothe, and the whole person relaxed, but reality immediately slapped him!

The boy didn't froze for even a second, Quidditch's training and actual combat, although it didn't improve his own physical fitness much because it was carried out on a broomstick, but at least it exercised his agility and reflexes, as well as his judgment.

He ran almost without thinking, and quickly rushed in the direction where the man had disappeared.

The situation here was so weird, the sounds were tingling and creepy, and with all the terrible signs and terrifying associations before, Harry didn't dare to stay where he was for a second.

And he wasn't familiar with it at all, and he hadn't even been able to find the house he had stayed in before.

In such a situation, how many options does Harry have? He could only follow in the footsteps of that strange man, trying to fight for a chance to survive, and this was the only chance.

And although the man is strange, he doesn't look dangerous, and it can be seen from his performance just now, what threat can he have?

These were all moments of lightning and fire that happened between the subconscious, thought processes that even Harry himself was not aware of, and he had already made judgments based on the most basic intuition-

Through such a scene of shared suffering at first sight, a preliminary trust was established in that strange and strange man...... It's a pity that the boy is still too young to find anything strange about this situation, and he doesn't suspect it.

……

……

"Quick! Come on in! Hurry up! ”

"Wait, it's too late! Don't be silent! Get down! Get down ......"

"Don't look up! Don't look at ......"

Fast, low, and hurried voice, as if the speaker had gone mad, Harry couldn't help but add a sense of urgency to his fear, and he didn't have time to think about it before he could pounce on the spot!

His body slammed on the ground and rolled into a dry ditch on the side of the street, he only felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, and all his internal organs were displaced, and he couldn't help but snort, but he bit his lip tightly.

The sound of the bang is near! It's getting closer!

He closed his eyes tightly, turned his face downward, and lay motionless in the weedy ditch, holding his breath not daring to make a sound......

The boy could almost imagine a myriad of black torrents of unknown things flying over his head.

Time seems to fly by, and it seems to stand still.

I don't know how long it was, but in the silence, Harry was patted on the head, and when he looked up, he saw the pale man crouching beside him, and the other man gasped for breath and said:

"Oh my God, I thought I was going to die this time...... Thankfully, they didn't find it. ”

"What are they?"

Harry looked up at the sky and was relieved to see that the foggy landscape had returned to his surroundings and had become calm and silent.

"They're nothing, they're just a bunch of vampire bats, part of that damn Dracula......" the man grimled wryly and fearfully, "that vampire has pretty much destroyed the town, and you see it." ”

"Dracula? Wait, why Dracula? Harry opened his mouth wide, "Isn't he a fictional character?" ”

Although a few days ago, when everyone was discussing the vampire race, he was not very good and in a particularly bad state, but he still heard some words.

- The current mainstream belief in the wizarding world is that Dracula, the famous vampire figure, is not a real entity, but a story created by a Muggle writer based on some inspiration from the lore.

"Dracula is Dracula, what fictional character?"

The other party, in turn, also had a strange expression, "He has already destroyed our entire town, won't we know who he is?" ”

“……”

“……”

Harry was speechless for a moment, but quickly realized that the so-called mainstream ideas were not necessarily the correct truth.

You only need to look at those ancient dragon species that were born out of thin air and shocked people's eyeballs, and compare them with the magical world's cognition and knowledge of fire dragons, how huge the error is, and you can know.

Thinking so, he subconsciously looked at the other party's appearance carefully, and then found with some horror that this seemed to be a ...... People who are out of touch with the times.

A young man who looks like an aristocratic gentleman, but his face may have been bloodless due to excessive fright, and his clothes are very reminiscent of those knights of the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries.

But there is no sense of disobedience, as if he is indeed a person who lives in that era, and the temperament on his body is perfectly combined with abnormal clothing, which makes it impossible to find out the slightest disharmony.

That's right! Sirius said before that looking at the degree of desolation of this town, considering the defense of various spells, the mountain city was not completely destroyed, but I am afraid that this ancient town has been dead for more than a century or more......

If the other party is really a townsman, how can he survive until now, and what does he rely on to survive until now?

Such a thought flashed, and Harry subconsciously felt a terrible chill, but it was not like he had no contact with ghosts, and he didn't feel too much fear.

The boy subconsciously looked around, and then noticed that the town shrouded in fog did seem to have undergone some changes, and seemed to be more complete than the one he had seen before......

It's as if he used the meditation basin in the principal's office in the two days before his departure to break into other people's memories and return to the past history in disguise.

Harry's heart skipped a beat, and he thought he might have found the reason...... Maybe it wasn't a meditation basin, but it must be a magical field with a similar effect, enveloping the town.

It's like an echo, recording what happened in the past, and you may have let your spirit body break into this place while you were sleeping.
