Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"How could this happen? How could this happen! Did you see it? I was almost smashed to death!" Ron yelled incoherently after regaining his strength.

"Yeah, thanks to Dean's quick response." Rolf walked to the entrance of the corridor to check and found that the stone gate had completely blocked their way back.

"You're not bad either. You used the Crushing Curse right away..." Dean swallowed back the second half of the sentence "It's a pity it didn't work." It was a bit too hurtful to say it.

Rolf didn't pay attention, but suddenly pointed to the top of the corridor exit and said, "Look there is a line of writing there - it seems to be some kind of hieroglyphics."

"If you want to avoid disaster, you can only move forward, not backward." Dean read softly.

"You actually recognize this kind of weird writing?" Rolf looked at Dean in shock.

"Haha, just good luck." Dean laughed dryly, "I happened to see a book introducing this kind of writing in the restricted section of the library."

Dean can only talk nonsense now. He can't tell Rolf. In fact, the system helped translate this sentence.

"It seems that there are many interesting books in the forbidden book area. I have to read them when I have time." Rolf said to himself thoughtfully.

"Hey, can you two care about me?" Ron said resentfully.

"Aren't you okay? You look like you were just a little frightened. Do you need me to hold you in my arms to comfort you?" Rolf teased.

Ron didn't react at all, but Dean got goosebumps all over his body. Imagine that scene, it was so terrifying.

Dean believed that Rolf was definitely taking the opportunity to connotate him.

"I didn't tell you!" Ron said angrily.

"If we had seen this sentence earlier, maybe Ron wouldn't have subconsciously retreated and triggered the crisis just now." Dean looked carefully and found that this line of ancient Egyptian text was actually carved on the inside of the corridor exit. But you really can’t find it if you don’t look carefully.

"So it's my fault? I'm the one who hurt myself!" Ron obviously hadn't fully recovered from the frightening moment just now, and he was inevitably a little resentful.

"I didn't mean that. - There is no retreat now, we can only continue to move forward." Dean said and walked forward. .

"Are you too bold? Why don't you test it first?" Rolf complained after taking two steps to catch up.

Ron even wished he could stick to Dean.

"Didn't you see that sentence? 'If you want to avoid disaster, you can only move forward, not backward.' Literally, as long as we don't retreat, there will be no danger. And I found that the test spell didn't seem to work. What's the use, otherwise Ron wouldn't be in danger - don't forget the anti-curse circle on the stone gate." Dean analyzed calmly, "Rather than looking forward and backward, it's better to find a way out quickly."

Dean noticed that Xiu Xiu, who was being tracked by the Magical Beast Tracking Technique, was about to run out of the sensing range - Xiu Xiu's safety gave him the confidence to say so.

"Don't worry too much. I think Madam Pomfrey will soon find out that we are missing and will report it to Dumbledore, who will definitely rescue us." Rolf said easily, "At least there is no lack of air here. , we don’t have to worry about being suffocated to death.”

"I'm not as optimistic as you. Don't forget that you deliberately angered her before. I'm afraid she will go to the ward after dawn and find that we are missing." Dean poured a basin of cold water.

"Then we'll wait until dawn." Rolf didn't panic at all.

"What if we don't last until dawn?" Dean asked.

"Ah!" Ron let out another shrill scream at this time, and both of them were almost numb.

"What's wrong with you?" Rolf felt inexplicably annoyed.

"Look there!" Ron raised the wand that lit up the luminous spell and pointed to the heights.

Dean shook his wand, and a bright light shot up into the sky, illuminating the direction Ron was pointing. The three of them gasped at the same time: there was a huge black dog head there.

"Tsk~ It's just a dog-headed statue." After carefully identifying it, Rolf pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Why does it look like a wolf's head to me?" Ron said fearfully, "Or a werewolf's head!"

"Don't scare yourself. Have you ever seen a werewolf with such short hair?" Rolf sneered.

"These are not the main points. To be precise, this should be a jackal head statue." Dean said.

Rolf looked at Dean with admiration: "Yes, you actually know so much about ordinary beasts and can distinguish between wolves and jackals."

Dean did not respond, but controlled the light and illuminated it from top to bottom. Now the three of them could see clearly that it was a huge black statue with the head of a jackal and a human body. What shocked them the most was this statue. He held a gleaming spear in his hand.

"Does it look familiar?" Dean asked.

"For example, if I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the God of Death in Egyptian mythology - Anubis?" Rolf lived up to his family background and extensive knowledge. He actually recognized this kind of thing that was not paid much attention by the British wizarding community. gods in exotic mythology.

"Death..." Ron muttered before slumping down again.

When they discovered that it was an Anubis statue, the system threw out a task, allowing Dean to roughly understand where they were now.

"Quest: The Mystery of the Pyramids

In the process of capturing Sniff, you are accidentally sucked into a black hole and enter a mysterious pyramid, where there are many unknown secrets.Explore the pyramid and discover its secrets.

Rewards: Unlocked with task completion.The current progress is 2%. "

It seems that the system has taken into account their experience in the corridor.

In fact, when Dean saw the sentence in the corridor before, he had a vague guess in his mind - the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt are so unique that they will leave a deep impression once they are seen.

Dean quickly went through the knowledge about the pyramids in his mind, and sadly found that no matter in his past life or this life, all he knew about the pyramids was Anubis, mummies, curses and other mysterious legends, which seemed to be helpful in improving their current situation. The situation was not helpful.

"Ron, be strong, that's just a myth and legend, and it's from Egypt!" Rolf encouraged Ron after giving him a hand.

"Will he suddenly come alive and attack us?" Ron asked, looking at the ten-meter-high statue of Anubis.

"The statue, it's just a statue!" Rolf said calmly.

"In the wizarding world, there are many statues that can be resurrected." Dean reminded in a low voice.

Ron almost cried after hearing this, and Rolf couldn't help but shrink his neck and said disapprovingly: "That's because the wizard cast a spell on those statues. Don't you think..."

"Okay, I'm just kidding." Dean interrupted quickly. It would be terrible if Rolf had the magical property of a crow's mouth.
