Chapter 185 Inexplicable Hatred

Katerina did not use the Illumination Charm, but suddenly turned the iris of one eye orange, and the pupil also expanded a lot, larger than the pupil of a dead fish eye. This is not a real dead eye, but a local Transfiguration that simulates the eyes of an owl.

Science has found that owls are more than 100 times more sensitive to dim light than humans, so Chen Bin had long asked Old Deng how to create this owl eye technique suitable for wizards. In the end, based on the Muggle biology paper and Old Deng's Transfiguration attainments, now in addition to Chen Weiguo's Nama family and Old Deng have mastered this secret technique.

After walking fifty meters, Katerina encountered a fork in the road, then cast a Disillusionment Charm on herself and ambushed here.

The second whistle sounded, and Harry entered the maze. Katerina soon saw him appear at the fork in the road, and after watching him choose a road at random, she followed him all the time.

Not long after, the third and fourth whistles sounded in the distance, and all four warriors entered the maze.

Harry kept looking behind him, as if he felt someone was watching him in the dark. The maze kept getting darker, and the clear sky began to turn into a real night sky. Soon, he came to the second fork in the road.

"Show me the way." He held the wand flat on his palm and said softly.

The wand turned a circle and settled on the hedge on his right. He often walked and stopped to determine his current position and to make sure that this was the way to the center of the maze.

Catalina followed him silently not far away, occasionally stopping to sense the marking spell on Harry's clothes.

When he left the hall, the strongest white wizard in Europe had marked his clothes all over his body, and Harry's position could be sensed by reading magic with the same method.

Not before leaving the hall after dinner, but when he went to the meeting room to meet Dursley, he marked it, ensuring that he would never fly out of Dumbledore's Five Fingers Mountain that day.

Harry's progress was still unimpeded, so smooth that fear appeared on his face. There were no monsters in front, no traps at the corners, and it was always empty.

Katerina often stopped sensing and tried to detect the location of Crouch Jr.

Crouch Jr. could not guide Harry which way to go, so he must be hiding nearby to clear the obstacles in the maze in advance.

Crouch Jr.'s parents are also wizards, and his father is an iron-blooded combat wizard. Therefore, the magic power of Crouch Jr. born from the combination of the two will never be low, and he once got 12 E (good) or above in the O.W.L.s exam.

In other words, his starting point is higher than others. He has achieved top results in theory and practice before graduation, and became a Death Eater after graduation. Therefore, he must have learned some powerful dark magic, and it is not an exaggeration to even regard him as having the strength of an elite Auror.

The maze has been silent all the time, and Harry's expression gradually tightened. He walked around in twists and turns, and was carefully prepared for battle at every corner, but there was not even a hair.

"Monster-be careful!" A figure rushed out from the corner.

Anyone who heard this accent knew that the caller was Delacour. As soon as the sound was heard, Harry immediately stuck to the inside of the corner, allowing her to pass directly past his hiding place.

He waited for a while, but the monster still did not appear, so he had to look around the corner.

There was no monster there, only a pile of minced meat and shells. It was a super-giant blasting-tailed skrewt, which exploded and died seven or eight meters outside the corner.

"Wouldn't she look back?" Harry muttered in a low voice.

Kate chuckled when she heard it.

Would the blasting-tailed skrewt suddenly explode? It was obvious that Crouch Jr. killed it.

Harry was about to step over the minced meat, but suddenly a scream came from not far away.

"Ah——"

Such a shrill female voice, as if being ravaged by hundreds of giants, screamed heartbreakingly, shook the sky, and cried to the Great Wall...

Then, the scream suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled her throat and choked her throat.

Harry was so nervous that he was sweating. Or maybe it was his sense of justice (Chuunibyou) that made him suddenly turn back and try to find out the scene of the murder.

Kate, who was following him, almost couldn't hide herself. She didn't expect him to suddenly go back the way he came. In a critical situation, he used black smoke and Qinggong to turn the corner quickly, and then stuck to the hedge and didn't move.

White smoke is too dazzling, but black smoke and Qinggong are the best way to hide.

When Harry ran by, he didn't realize that there was actually a chameleon standing between the hedges less than 30 cm away from him. If Kate's bust was a little more plump, it would probably be rubbed by Harry's arm.

Harry turned around for a while and finally found Fleur lying on the ground near the corner. Krum, whose life or death was unknown, was lying next to her.

Fleur was lying on her back, and she could still unconsciously utter "Mmmmm Ahhh". However, Krum was not as lucky as her. He lay on his side on the ground, his face covered with blood, and a few missing teeth were scattered on the ground.

Judging from the way they were lying, Krum had used magic to stun Fleur at close range, and then was knocked down by the monster that came out from the corner. There were traces of animal footprints on the ground, extending from their side to the corner.

However, this arrangement was fine for deceiving a fool like Harry, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was full of mistakes.

Krum was lying on his side on Fleur, with his face and wand facing Fleur. Was he lying on his side to attack Fleur who was lying flat, otherwise how could he have fallen so skillfully?

There were obvious scars on the knuckles of his left hand, and the blood was still flowing, as if the skin at this position was broken by uneven small particles of hard objects after he hit a hard object with his fist continuously. To put it bluntly, he mercilessly smashed his nose and teeth with his left fist, and these wounds were caused by hitting his teeth.

In addition, the animal footprints on the ground were even more ridiculous. There were only footprints leaving them, but no traces of it walking. Could it fly? Then why didn't it fly away?

Therefore, the most crude and simple inference is that Crouch Jr. used the Imperius Curse to control Krum to attack Fleur, and then maintained a side-lying position, holding the wand in his right hand and pointing it at Fleur, and his left hand kept hitting his head until he fainted.

The animal footprints on the ground were of course laid by Crouch Jr.

Harry probed the noses of the two people, and after confirming that they were not in danger of life, he picked up their wands and fired two beams of red sparks into the sky.

Catalina took advantage of the time to stand still and immediately used another partial transfiguration spell of the simulacrum type - pit transfiguration.

Snakes usually have a concave pit between their eyes and nostrils, and the heat-sensing cells in the pit can detect external heat, trigger nerve impulses through the trigeminal nervous system, and transmit them to the visual quadrigeminal in the brain, turning into three-dimensional vision.

Simply put, the principle of this transfiguration is the thermal imager.

The human brain and the snake brain are completely different. Even if humans are given the ability to detect thermal energy, they still cannot construct three-dimensional thermal imaging in their brains. Instead, they have a visual sixth sense - although the eyes cannot see, the brain will visually add color to the invisible person with thermal energy.

Kate saw a spherical object with thermal energy sticking out from the corner, which was Crouch Jr.'s head after he put on the invisible cloak.

If he can even block thermal energy, hum, Kate has super weak fluorescent powder in her hand. Just a breeze spell was needed to evenly spread around, and through the owl eyes spell, a cloaked figure as dazzling as a torch could be seen.

Since there were only two warriors left, she and Harry, Kate did not intend to hide. She slowly retreated to the corner of the original road, removed the illusion spell on her body, and pretended to have just arrived.

"What happened?" Kate pointed her wand in Harry's direction, but she did not expect him to shoot a beam of disarming spell in response.

"I am Katerina, are you Harry?" Kate easily flashed the red light and slowly walked to Harry's side.

"Don't come over, we are competitors." Harry saw Kate's face clearly, but he did not put down the wand in his hand.

The two were now five meters apart, not close or far, but just enough to talk face to face.

Kate smiled and said easily: "I was commissioned by Moody to take the double championship with you. Tell me what happened to the two warriors lying on the ground..."

"I told you not to come over." Harry continued to point his wand at Kate, his face flushed with anger, and hatred in his eyes.

Yes, it was hatred.

"Calm down, I won't hurt you... Don't..." Kate said softly, trying to calm Harry's nervousness.

But it didn't work, Harry shouted again: "Don't come over!"

Kate was a little angry, and she flashed to close the distance between the two. Harry only had time to shoot red light, and Kate had flashed to his side and cast the unarmed disarming spell, that is, to take his wand with one hand.

A wizard of Harry's level can only raise an armor spell on the front at most. If he wants to expand it or make it into a 180-degree arc, will he not need magic in the next battle?

"You don't have a weapon, I have a weapon, and we can have a good talk." Kate shook Harry's wand and asked with a smile: "Why do you suddenly hate me so much? Because of Hermione?"

Harry was still in a petrified state, as if he didn't believe that he was defeated so easily by Kate.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'll knock you down." Kate's threat was very effective. Harry immediately came back to his senses and said nervously, "I want to get the trophy."

"Then let's get it together and let the other two schools see how big the gap between us and them is..."

"No!" Harry didn't finish listening to Kate's words and immediately rejected this suggestion.

"Why?" Kate thought about it and suddenly smiled evilly: "For Hermione? Do you want to win the trophy alone to prove that you are the strongest?"

Harry didn't answer, but the blood on his face had spread to his ears.

At this moment, the fake Moody and McGonagall arrived at the same time.

The fake Moody asked immediately: "What happened?"

McGonagall didn't speak, kneeling beside the fallen students to check their conditions.

Kate shook her head and said, "I don't know. I just came here and saw Harry standing here and these two lying on the ground."

Harry glared at her resentfully, and then told Professor McGonagall about the incident.

After discussing for a few words, the two professors signaled that the game would continue. The two warriors on the ground were lifted up by the magic of the two professors and were ready to be sent out of the maze.
