Chapter 294 The Moving Skeleton
"I have discovered one thing. Almost every wizard's gathering place is hidden in a Muggle city, and there are basically some inconspicuous small agencies set up to facilitate their entry and exit."
Zhang Qi stood at the end of the alley, looked at the wall in front of him, and cleared his throat.
"Spiders hate light."
Zhang Qi said to the graffiti-covered wall at the end of the alley.
"Crack"!
With a slight sound, the wall slowly sunk inwards, and then opened to both sides, revealing a section of road that was large enough for three people to pass side by side.
"Come on, this is the alley where Professor Snape lives."
Zhang Qi took Astoria's hand, and the two of them stepped onto the damp, mossy stone road together.
"Then do you know which small building the godfather lives in?"
Astoria looked at the path, which was even more sinister than Knockturn Alley, and subconsciously tugged at her collar.
"If I remember correctly, it should be the 13th."
Zhang Qi glanced at the stained road sign next to him and frowned slightly.
"It should be somewhere deeper, let's go."
The two of them had no choice but to walk forward slowly on the moss-covered path.
"Ah, this should be it."
After walking for a while, the two stopped in front of a gloomy small house.
There is a very dirty wooden sign in front of the small house. Under the large stains, the number 13 can be vaguely seen.
"Well, although the godfather doesn't care too much about his personal image, it's a bit too much to live in such a dirty place."
Astoria asked suspiciously as she looked at the house in front of her that could almost be called a dangerous building.
"Well, maybe it's the house he rented"...
Zhang Qi also felt a little unsure, but he did find that all the houses here were so dirty, so he didn't think much about it.
"Dangdang"!
Zhang Qi stepped up the stained steps with some hesitation, then knocked on the door.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
"Crunch"...
With the sound of friction between the door shaft and the door, the door of the cabin slowly opened on its own.
The space inside is so dark that even the hybrid's excellent eyesight cannot see very far.
"Uh, are you sure we're on the right track?"
Astoria took a step back and looked at the sign again.
On the sign that was mostly covered by stains, the two numbers 13 were indeed written crookedly.
"It seems that I saw it right, but why is it so cold here? I always feel like there is something weird about it"...
"Professor Snape did say that he lives here, so let's just go in."
Zhang Qi was a little nervous, but he still went in bravely.
"Crunch"~
The wooden floor had holes due to disrepair, and it made a creaking sound every time you stepped on it.
The two even suspected that if they came here at night for a few more years, they would probably smash through the floor and fall into the basement.
"Well, this should be Professor Snape's home. After all, no one else would put such disgusting specimens in their living room."
GuZhang Qi used his flashlight to shine on a shelf next to him, which was filled with parts of various magical animals.
"Heart of a five-legged monster"?
Astoria leaned forward and frowned as she looked at a malformed heart.
The heart was beating continuously and ejecting blood, and the splashed glass bottle was filled with crimson liquid. However, there was a fleshy suction cup at the lower end of the heart that sucked the bottom of the bottle and kept leaving it along the wall of the bottle. The blood was sucked back again.
"Yeah, disgusting creature."
Zhang Qi shook his head, and then turned the flashlight in his hand.
"Uh, um, Astoria, does Professor Snape still have a hobby of collecting such things?"
When the light of the flashlight swept across a white object standing in the corner, Zhang Qi was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
It was a complete human skeleton. There was no flesh and blood on the white skeleton, and the black eyes stared blankly in the direction of the two of them, which made people feel extremely penetrating.
"Ah? What is this?"
Astoria was also startled, and they both stopped and looked at the white skeleton.
"Although Godfather likes to collect some rare materials, I can guarantee you that he has no interest in this kind of thing! He definitely did not put this thing here by himself!"
Astoria nervously touched her waist and grasped the handle of the pistol.
"Reveal your true colors"!
Zhang Qi gently pointed at the skeleton.
There was a bright light on the fingertips, and then the skeleton began to emit a faint fluorescent light.
The fluorescence once became very bright, but soon slowly dimmed again, and finally went out completely.
"This thing has no disguise, and there are no traces of black magic on it. It's really a ghost. It must be the skeleton of some poor person."
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to Astoria and asked in surprise:
"Eh? What's wrong with you? Why is your face so white? Can this thing still scare you?"
Zhang Qi was very surprised and looked at the girl whose face was pale with fright, and frowned in confusion.
"You, behind you"...
Astoria raised her hand tremblingly and pointed in the direction behind Zhang Qi with her finger.
"The skeleton moved"!
Astoria finally let out a piercing scream.
After Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately ran over here, looking back behind him as he ran.
The skeleton was shaking its shoulders, and then used its hand bones without any flesh and blood to grab the steel pillar used for fixation, and pulled its pelvis off the steel bar.
The skeleton, which finally regained its freedom, also moved its shoulders. It seemed that it was tired of standing there and wanted to walk around.
"Skeleton Soldier"?
Zhang Qi suddenly thought about the compendium of dark magic left to him by Slytherin, which detailed the appearance of many undead creatures.
The skeleton in front of me is not an ordinary corpse, but a skeleton soldier refined by the necromancer!
The status of the skeleton is slightly higher than that of the Inferi, because the Inferi's body is rotten and can easily be knocked down directly.
These skeletons have been refined with special magic mirrors, and the bones on their bodies are as hard as pig iron. An ordinary sword can only leave a little white mark when struck.
In those dark ages, except for the Paladins and hordes of wizards, no one could deal with the large number of skeletons!
