Matthew Wakefield forced himself to calm down.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to stay as calm as possible.

He looked at Tom Gunter's ferocious, twisted face. He actually knew his name... He had no time to think about how he knew it... But one thing was certain, he must be doing it for the book. Coming...

Matthew's left hand shrank toward his waist without leaving any trace.

He knows very well that he will definitely not be Tom Gunter's opponent; now he can only hope for that book...hope that it can control his body again like it did that day at the fighting club...that way he can escape. A glimmer of hope.

"Yes, there are eight secret passages between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade," Matthew replied calmly. "Most of them were built during the goblin rebellion in 1612... There is no doubt that among them One leads from the third floor of Hogwarts Castle to the basement of Honeydukes Candy Shop!"

"It seems that I made a mistake when I didn't follow you into that candy store one day," Mr. Gunter sneered, "but today, I won't follow you again!"

"What do you want, sir?" Matthew's left hand moved slightly towards his waist another half inch, and he asked, "Is it that book?"

"Yes... that's right..." An uncontrollable smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Gunter's face, making his expression look particularly ferocious, "I have been waiting for a long time... starting more than a year ago... No, I have been waiting since eleven years ago..."

"I can give it to you. It's not something that belongs to me in the first place..." Matthew continued to say calmly, "There's just one condition..."

Before he finished speaking, Matthew suddenly felt that Mr. Gunter's bloodshot eyes became even redder...

At the same time, a powerful force came from the red light...unable to resist, unable to contend...as if all thoughts were seen through, and there was no privacy at all...

He could no longer see what was in front of him, and pictures flashed through his mind like a movie... Matthew Wakefield, like a piece of meat on a chopping board...

On the lawn of Witton Road, he took the letter from Hogwarts from the postman... In the room in Diagon Alley, Penelo Crevat was introducing the situation of Hogwarts to him... He took Wearing the Sorting Hat, listening to the Sorting Hat sorting him into Slytherin... Agnes Lestrange came over at the banquet and asked him if he wanted to eat the rice pudding... Chapter 1 Transfiguration In class, Professor Edward Trocca taught him how to observe and imagine, be decisive and cautious...

"Get out!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from his mind.

It was Matthew's voice, but his tone of voice was completely different from his usual, and seemed extremely cold.

"what--"

A scream sounded from the ears at the same time, it was the scream of Tom Gunter.

The familiar images of the Screaming Shack are back, and everything feels real again.

Matthew saw that Tom Gunter was covering his eyes, as if he saw something he shouldn't see... He looked in pain, and there was even a trace of blood leaking from the gaps between his fingers...

This is an opportunity, no doubt about it!

……

Matthew pulled out the wand from his waist with his left hand as quickly as possible.

Aiming at Mr. Gunter, who had not yet fully recovered, his voice was loud but calm:

"Expelliarmus!"

A bright red light shot out from the wand!

Matthew could feel that her body was still under her control...but she believed that the disarming spell used this time was no less effective than when she was in the Duel Club...

Countless dust was lifted up from the floor, and the situation in front of him was somewhat unclear.

I don’t know if the spell hit the opponent or caused any damage to the opponent...

Matthew had no time to care about those things. Without hesitation, he jumped into the secret passage on the floor.

The secret passage is not too deep, and you can reach the bottom in at least a few seconds.

Matthew looked up at the entrance above. Apparently, Mr. Gunter had reacted and was trying to get into this secret passage.

Matthew wouldn't give him this chance——

"Expelliarmus...Expelliarmus...Expelliarmus..."

While retreating, he desperately cast the strongest spell he could towards the hole.

Streams of red light spurted out.

There were some tremors in the surroundings... Apparently this secret passage with hundreds of years of history experienced such a strong vibration for the first time, and it could no longer hold up... From time to time, clods of earth fell from the side...

Matthew didn't care.

Even if he is buried alive in the tunnel, it is a better ending than being captured by a terrifying dark wizard... After all, even if he is "buried alive" here, there is still the possibility of being rescued... What's more, the other side of the secret passage One side is most likely open.

"Except your weapons!"

There was another bright red light, and then a loud bang was heard at the entrance of the secret passage.

It seems that the entrance over there has collapsed.

Matthew quickly turned around, bent his waist very low, and moved forward as quickly as possible...

……

The tunnel stretched forward from time to time, and the road became narrower.

There was no sound behind him, and Tom Gunter didn't seem to be following...

Matthew only felt that he was very tired. When he was hit by Tom Gunter's "Legilimency", his whole body became extremely weak... Then he went crazy and used the disarming spell at least twenty times. So much so that the left hand holding the wand is shaking constantly.

He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth to inhale painfully, and at the same time ran with his waist bent...

About ten minutes later——

The tunnel began to slope upward slightly.

Matthew knew that Hogwarts was not far away.

He only needs to climb this uphill to enter Hogwarts... Then he can be protected by Hogwarts' protective magic... By then, he will be safe...

Matthew did not stop, but cheered up even more.

There seemed to be a small curve ahead, and a glimmer of light appeared on the other side of the curve.

Exit...the exit is coming...

Matthew strode over...

Then he stopped.

……

Tom Gunter was on the other side of the corner, sitting there lazily.

His dark red eyes were particularly conspicuous in the dark cave.

The previous faint light came from the yew wand in his hand.

He raised his head and glanced at Matthew disdainfully: "The escape game is over!"

Then, Tom Gunter's body turned into a black haze. Matthew Wakefield, who was caught off guard, was sucked into the black haze, and then he lost consciousness.
