Chapter 1694 Bruce Wayne and the Sorcerer's Stone (IX)

When the three people who were busy all morning and finally had time to rest returned to the common activity room, the atmosphere in the activity room was unexpectedly solemn. As soon as the three of them walked in, they received the attention of almost everyone in the college.

"What's wrong?" Barry asked cautiously.

"Oh, you're back." Kane just said this, turned his head and looked at them, and then ignored them, and gathered with several other seniors to discuss something.

Little Bruce pushed Barry and signaled him to join the conversation, but Barry felt a little hesitant, and little Bruce rolled his eyes helplessly.

After a while, Kane knocked on the table, gathered everyone together, and he cleared his throat and said.

"I must emphasize to you once again that you are absolutely not allowed to go to the end of the corridor on the fourth floor of the main castle. If you violate other school rules, you may only be punished by labor, but if you violate this one, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

After everyone dispersed, Barry came over. Kane leaned against the door of his dormitory, shook his head helplessly and said, "I heard that someone from Zatara College accidentally entered that corridor and was injured. He has been sent to the hospital now."

"You also know that the college has the most people and is not easy to manage. Maybe someone forgot the repeated warnings of the professor and the class leader and accidentally triggered some counter-magic. All the class leaders of their grades were punished. I don't want to be punished, so, Barry, please keep an eye on the students in your grade, don't really put yourself in the hospital!"

As Kane said, he raised his eyes and looked at little Bruce not far away. Barry also looked back at him and sighed deeply.

At ten o'clock that night, Barry stopped little Bruce on the steps of the floating spire.

"I knew you were going to go out at night." Barry sighed and said, "Don't tell me your destination is the corridor on the fourth floor. Someone was injured there. Don't you know that?"

But Bruce Jr. showed a mocking smile and said, "That's why I'm going. Either follow me or go back to sleep."

"Impossible, I won't let you go!" Barry blocked Bruce Jr. tightly. He was about the same age as Bruce Jr., but maybe because Bruce Jr. had better nutrition, he was taller and stronger than Barry.

Despite this, Barry was uncompromising. No matter how Bruce Jr. pushed him, he would not give way. But at this time, another voice sounded behind them.

"Barry, I think we should go and see together. At least we should know what hurt the student."

Looking at the girl with platinum hair gradually coming out of the darkness, Barry sighed deeply and said, "Harry, are you going to be stupid with him?"

"It's always you who are being stupid. It's you." Bruce took this opportunity to push Barry away and walked forward quickly, saying without looking back, "You can wait here until dawn. I'm going now."

Barry could only grit his teeth and stomp his feet to follow Bruce. Although he knew that this was Bruce's trick, he had no choice. Whether it was his responsibility as a class leader or his conscience, he couldn't watch Bruce die, even if Bruce was very annoying.

The floating spire is a certain distance away from the main castle. They must first cross half of the garden, walk through the corridor, and cross the courtyard in the center of the manor before they can reach the main castle.

And just as they walked through the corridor to the courtyard, Bruce raised his head and squinted at the window on the fourth floor of the castle.

Gothic windows are often tall and narrow, but symmetrical on both sides. At this time, the moon is behind the castle, and the moonlight shines into the corridor through the window, so that the window on the other side can also vaguely see the scene in the corridor.

"What?" Barry said with wide eyes and some horror. He just saw a huge shadow flashing through a window on the fourth floor.

Little Bruce did not seem to be very surprised. He walked forward quickly and said, "It's not difficult to guess. If there are really very important things stored in that room, there can't be no guards."

"The professors reminded all students not to go to the corridor on the fourth floor, perhaps because the guard is very cruel and cannot be dealt with by students. They are not worried that students will steal treasures, but that the guards will hurt students."

"Their worries are justified." Barry caught up with him and raised his voice and said, "The guards have already hurt the students."

"This is not the point at all." Little Bruce looked up at the window again, quickened his pace and said, "If it's not to prevent students from stealing treasures, then who are they protecting from?"

"Have you ever thought about why they put guards in the school that are far beyond the students' ability to deal with, instead of just setting up a few tricks to deceive the students?"

Barry is not stupid either. He heard the implication of Bruce's words, so he tentatively said, "Could this be a trap?"

"It must be a trap."

Bruce sighed softly and said, "And if I'm not mistaken, the monster guarding there is the tree demon Sergei."

Barry and Harley took a breath together. They had seen Pamela's dryad partner during the day today. Although the tree was not a towering tree, it was at least four or five meters high and had branches. The leaves are lush, and the arm named Pato is much thicker than their thighs. If the dryad named Sergei looks the same as his brother, it is indeed not something that the students can handle. .

While they were talking, the three of them had already entered the castle. Only a few night lights were left in the already deserted castle. The candlelight flickered, casting all the familiar things during the day into terrifying shadows.

Barry felt a little timid, and Harley was even more surprised, but little Bruce kept walking forward. The three of them soon went up the third floor and arrived at the stairs of the fourth floor.

Three little heads were neatly arranged next to the corner wall, looking at the huge shadow dangling at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor. It was a giant tree demon that was almost exactly the same as the Pato they saw this morning. It was different. What's more, he looked even more terrifying in the dark corridor. Those two green glowing eyes were like will-o'-the-wisps, and his sharp claws seemed ready to tear apart all invading enemies at any time.

"It's really a dryad." Barry covered his mouth and squeezed out a breath from between his fingers. Harley blinked and said, "Do you still remember? Professor Pamela said this morning that someone borrowed this dryad. , probably used to guard this room."

"Earth's Magic Defense Network..." Little Bruce spat out this word. His tone was rarely mixed with sarcasm, but he said very seriously: "The guys who followed me during the day told me this word. They said this thing. Very important to the wizarding world."

"The energy core of the magic defense network is placed in that room." Harley's tone also became serious. As she said herself, she had only heard of many things in the past and had not seen them with her own eyes, so she believed There are also certain deviations in knowledge.

She knew the existence of green light energy, but she didn't know where this energy came from or how it existed. So thinking along this line of thinking, it would be reasonable to have a core that stores this energy.

Barry was still a little confused, but Harley's tone gradually became calmer. She said: "I was the first to enter school, so I learned some things about the magical world. The magical world has just experienced a catastrophe. You know why. ”

Harry told them about the previous situation in the wizarding world as quickly as possible and in the most precise terms. Barry clenched his fists as he listened.

"So it's all the fault of those human traitors. How could they be so spineless and compromise with those angels and demons? If they hadn't given in step by step, how could the magical world be like this?" Barry said angrily.

"I heard Master Andrew say that sometimes you can't blame them completely." Harley lowered her tone and said: "Angels and demons are so much beyond humans. Humans will fall into their trap if they are not careful. Many magicians I think I have a clear will, but in fact I have been controlled by the devil.”

Little Bruce narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that the dean and professors knew that controlled humans might have sneaked into the academy and wanted to interfere with or even destroy the construction of the magic defense network, so they arranged this trap?"

"It's very possible." Barry said with a higher tone: "Because if this magic defense network is built, then they will really have a hard time, and if it cannot be built, they will be the ones who benefit the most."

"Hiss..." Harley took a breath, and then said instinctively: "Then we have to tell Professor Schiller quickly."

"Why do you think he is trustworthy?" Little Bruce turned to stare at Harley and said, "To put it bluntly, if he had other solutions, why would he set up this trap?"

Harley paused, but she was not persuaded by Bruce. She knew Schiller better than the other two, so she thought that if the energy core was really dangerous, Schiller would not take it so hastily. Put it here.

Since it is here and there is a trap, it means that Schiller may have another plan. In this case, it is better to wait and see what happens.

But at this moment, Barry narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Look, there seems to be someone over there!"

The other two people immediately followed his gaze and saw a black shadow appearing behind the tree demon. He was wearing a black robe, so they couldn't see his face or body shape clearly. They just moved quickly from there. The tree demon rushed over from behind.

The hearts of the three of them were immediately in suspense, because behind the tree demon was the door of the room, but the black shadow rushed to the door and found that there was a lock on the door. The tree demon also reacted quickly, waving his arm full of branches. , and drew directly towards the black shadow.

The shadow was too close, so he instinctively stretched out his arm to resist. After a low cry of pain, the shadow grabbed his own arm, and blood dripped from it.

Seizing the moment when the dryad's movement paused, the black shadow slipped under his arm, and then jumped out of the window. The three of them rushed down the stairs to the courtyard of the castle, but there was no one there.

The next morning, little Bruce, who went to the auditorium for breakfast, fixed his eyes on Schiller.

At this time, Schiller was holding a fork in one hand to fork the bread, while the other hand was always hanging under the table, hidden in his sleeve.

Victor, who came to work part-time, sat next to Schiller, and little Bruce listened to their conversation with his ears.

"What's wrong? Schiller, is your hand injured?"

"It's just a minor injury."

"It's really strange that you can get injured. How did it happen?"

Schiller remained silent, while Anna on the other side came over and said to Victor with a smile.

"He was playing with a paper shredder!"
