Chapter 90 Clues

Mike believed that he would never make a mistake. There were only a few female ghosts in Hogwarts, and Ms. Grey was definitely the tallest among them. So even if the female ghost who was talking to the Bloody Baron had her back to him, he could be sure that it was Ms. Grey.

The two ghosts seemed to be arguing about something. The Bloody Baron, who was usually taciturn, was very excited at this time, gesticulating as if he wanted to refute something. Unfortunately, Mike was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

Just as Mike was about to get closer to hear more clearly, Ms. Grey suddenly turned her head and looked in his direction.

In the dim light, a delicate face suddenly appeared. Although she was a little haggard, it could still be seen that Ms. Grey must have been a great beauty when she was alive.

After Ms. Grey turned her head to look at Mike, she stopped talking to the Bloody Baron and disappeared into the wall in a flash.

Seeing this, the Bloody Baron did not chase after her. His expression, which was a little ferocious due to excitement when he talked to Ms. Grey before, calmed down again.

Mike was now certain that there must be something on his body that could be sensed by Ms. Grey, otherwise she would never have discovered him. You know, ghosts have very poor perception abilities. Fortunately, the Bloody Baron did not mean to avoid him, otherwise Mike would have gone crazy.

Mike walked out of the dark corner, and the blackthorn wood wand had appeared silently in his hand.

Ordinary wizards did not have the means to harm ghosts, so the Bloody Baron did not care about Mike, nor did he have any intention of communicating with Mike, and walked straight into the depths of the corridor.

Mike was not surprised by the Bloody Baron's reaction. To be honest, he had met the Bloody Baron many times before in the corridor outside the Requirement Room. The Bloody Baron always had a tone that kept people at a distance, and he would not respond even if someone greeted him. But Mike had done enough homework before coming here, so he was not afraid that Baron would ignore him.

"Please wait a moment, Sir Baron." Mike said.

However, as usual, the Bloody Baron did not stop at all and continued to float forward.

Seeing that he was about to disappear into the wall, Mike spoke again: "Barro, how does it feel to kill your beloved with your own hands?"

Hearing Mike's slightly mocking voice, Bloody Barro, whose body had almost completely disappeared into the wall, froze. Then he slowly turned around, and a thin face appeared in front of Mike.

"I... didn't!" Barro said word by word.

Seeing his reaction, Mike felt relieved.

But Mike made a very annoying expression on his face and continued, "You don't have to deny it. I already know the truth. It's normal to turn love into hate. You abandoned your teacher Salazar Slytherin for Helena. Doesn't your conscience hurt? What's more, that woman knew your feelings for her, but she kept you hanging for decades. Hahaha, do you know what we call your brother's behavior now? A dog licking until he has nothing in the end!"

What Mike said was not aimless. According to the historical records of Hogwarts, Slytherin left Hogwarts in the first few years after the school was established because of the disagreement with the other three giants on the enrollment philosophy. As Slytherin's proud disciple, the Bloody Baron should have followed Slytherin to leave, but he stayed in Hogwarts until Ms. Ravenclaw ordered him to find her daughter.

Then it is easy to guess what happened. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. The only person in Hogwarts who could make the outstanding wizard Bloody Baron stay was Helena. It is not surprising that his long-term admiration for Helena turned into deep hatred after Helena's rejection.

After Mike spoke out his investigation results and his own guesses, Bloody Baron's face, which had been frozen for thousands of years, finally became angry.

"I didn't! I saved Helena! Otherwise, she would have been devoured by that demon!" Bloody Baron's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying. While roaring, he grabbed Mike with both hands.

In an instant, a bone-chilling chill rushed into Mike's body.

Mike was too familiar with this chill. He had felt a similar chill on the night when his mind was bewitched by the light door. It was this chill that pulled him out of his insane state.

But after Mike felt it carefully, he found that this chill was obviously different from the previous one. The previous chill gave him the feeling of a cold wind in winter, giving people a sharp feeling like a knife. But the chill released by the Bloody Baron did not have this feeling, but instead had a faint smell of blood. The chill

spread very quickly, and soon began to spread from Mike's chest to the surroundings. Mike's reaction was also very fast. The magic wand in his hand, which had been ready for a long time, shook violently, and shouted:

"Armor protection!"

As the spell was recited, a layer of translucent shield enveloped Mike, and at the same time, the chill was isolated from the outside. The chill in Mike's body lost the supplement of external energy, and was quickly eliminated by the magic power in Mike's body.

Mike shivered fiercely, raised his head and was about to continue questioning Baron, but found that Baron was very wrong at this time.

Barrow looked like he had seen something terrifying, and his originally ferocious face became even more terrifying at this moment. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Facing Barrow's strange reaction, Mike raised his wand in front of him and pointed it at Barrow, ready to release more armor to protect himself. Judging from the situation just now, Barrow's ghost is obviously different from other ghosts. He can cause certain damage to living people.

But Mike's action made Barrow react.

"Devil! You are the devil!" Barrow pointed at Mike with a trembling finger and screamed, "No! Don't come over! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me!"

Barrow screamed and flew towards the wall, and soon disappeared in the corridor.

Mike was shocked by Barrow's reaction. He didn't look like he was pretending just now, as if he had really seen a demon just now.

Suddenly, Mike seemed to think of something and reached out to touch his face. Although it was smooth and there was nothing unusual, Mike knew clearly that there was an invisible and hideous claw mark at the place where he touched.

In the dim corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, Mike smiled slightly, and he felt as if he understood something.
