In the middle of the night, in the empty corridor, there are a few silhouettes with magic lights in one hand and wand in the other.

Although they are all wearing Gryffindor school robes, their appearance is obviously much more vicissitudes of life than ordinary students.

Especially the leader, his thick beard and thick dark circles make him look like a weak middle-aged addict.

Perhaps because he was too sleepy, the person at the back of the team suddenly yawned.

Then, as if it was contagious, the other members of the team also fought one after another.

The’middle-aged addict’ who walks in the forefront is naturally no exception.

“Huh~huh?”

However, he just stopped halfway through the fight, turning his head suspiciously and looking around.

Just now, he seemed to see a vague shadow passing in front of him.

It’s a pity that he has searched for a long time but still hasn’t found anything. In the end, he can only attribute it to the hallucinations of his long-term poor sleep, and continue to move forward with a bitter expression on his face.

The yawn was interrupted halfway through, which was uncomfortable.

After they disappeared into the far corner, Link’s fuzzy silhouette finally appeared in the darkness.

“Huh! It’s dangerous!”

Link took a long breath, muttered to himself, and then turned into a vague phantom and rushed towards him again The destination of the trip-the owl tower.

Because all the owls in the night went out to deliver letters, the owl tower at this moment was also empty.

Link was not surprised by this. Instead, he found out the owl usage record covered by a wooden board, and began to copy it with quill.

This is a very necessary work, because according to Draco’s description, the place where he fainted was near here.

This means that he probably sent the diary by owl mail.

Although the people who come to send letters are registered anonymously, if the number is small, Link is still confident that they can investigate their destination one after another.

The reason why Link is so proficient is because this is actually his seventh time here.

No way, the entire group he met just now was exactly the inspector that Professor Snape had mentioned, and Professor McGonagall gave them a name—the picket.

The work of these pickets is very hard, usually not only need to rush into the student dormitory from time to time to search for a pass, but also need to be responsible for night patrols, as well as a carpet-style search for contraband.

The members of the picket team are all composed of 7th grade students who have passed the preliminary screening of the Auror office school recruitment.

Although most of these people will be eliminated in the next training test, and thus miss Auror, the most elite force in the Ministry of Magic.

But passing the initial test has proved that they are the best group of people in Hogwarts.

And because Professor McGonagall promised that the performance of this picketing activity will be directly counted in their next “Auror exam”, so these picket team members even if they have Very arduous studies have to be completed, but they will still devote twelve minutes of vigilance to complete this work.

Let’s take the group of team members previously encountered by Link as an example.

They pass by here on average every 10 minutes and make a full inspection of the owl tower.

This has caused Link’s work efficiency to drop to a heinous point.

However, no matter how low the efficiency is, it will be completed. Link estimates that he will be able to complete a comprehensive analysis of this record tonight.

However, the reality is cruel.

When Link finally copied all the information, he was disappointed to find that he still had no way to find out who Draco had sent the diary to.

Because the day Draco fainted was the day before Valentine’s Day.

On this evening, more than one hundred mails were sent out through this owl tower.

With such a large number, he can’t investigate anything in a short period of time alone.

As for telling Dumbledore to let him investigate.

Link will never do this if it is not as a last resort. The reason is very simple. Link has received news from Snape, and the Auror will enter Hogwarts early due to Dumbledore’s efforts. .

This news made Link completely hopeless for Dumbledore.

Because he obviously only wants to get rid of Tom Riddle, as for Basilisk Arkham and so on, he doesn’t care at all.

Well, this is Dumbledore.

After gritting his teeth, Link finally stuffed the copy of the mailing record into his arms.

Immediately after, he stepped hard on his feet, and the whole person once again turned into a few invisible afterimages and floated back to the corner where he was originally staying.

This is a blind spot for those picket team members patrolling. According to past experience, he only needs to wait here quietly for the picket team members to return to inspect the owl tower and leave safely.

However, after a full twenty minutes have passed, the picket team members still did not appear.

‘Those guys, wouldn’t they be attacked by heir? ‘

The thought instinctively appeared in Link’s mind, which made him uneasy.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally rushed out of the corner where he had been hiding.

Although these guys made him have to divide into several times to complete the collection of the mailing information of the owl tower, they are after all a lively life.

The most important thing is if they are really attacked by that heir.

Then Link now in the past is very likely to catch the other party directly!

In the dark, Link’s silhouette is like a ghost-like walking in the winding corridor.

Through the night vision potion and the perception ability provided by the super-sensing spell, at this moment, there are strips of milk-white light floating in front of him.

These are all magic traces left by the portable magic lamp.

With their existence, Link does not need to distinguish the direction of the picket team members’ actions, just follow these light strips.

At the same time, the super hearing provided by the Super Sense Mantra also made him hear a very strange sound.

It was a series of subtle and weird sounds. At first it seemed to sound like the sound of wind, but when you discern it carefully, you would feel like something being rubbed by sandpaper.

As Link continues to move forward, this sound is also getting louder and louder, and eventually becomes a familiar sound that Link can’t be more familiar with-Basilisk Arkham’s rustling of scales when he crawls. sound!

“I found you!”

Link’s mouth rose up uncontrollably, and then the speed of his feet skyrocketed again, and the whole person rushed out like a bullet out of the chamber.
