From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Inside the bronze door, there is a gloomy scene.

The first thing that catches the eye are four long, almost decadent brown tables, the placement of which seems to be intended to imitate the furnishings of the Hogwarts Great Hall. The table was covered with black candles, emitting a dark light. The food on the gray dinner plates was completely rotten or moldy, exuding an unpleasant smell.

There was also a stage at the front of the hall, and a band was playing a heart-wrenching tune with a strange instrument. After Helena's introduction, Xiven learned that this strange instrument is called a music saw. It is usually played with a bow and can produce a unique ethereal sound.

Xiwen felt that the ethereal sound of this music was ethereal enough, but it was a bit hard on the ears...

At this time, a group of ghosts were performing wonderful performances amidst the music.

Everyone in the team has a lost head and a strong ghost horse. They ride on the horse and continuously throw the head in their hands, and the next team member catches it and throws it up again, and so on. Circled around the stage.

The ghosts in the audience watched their performance and cheered continuously.

After several consecutive turns, they suddenly stopped and split into two teams, one on each side. The poor house elf waiter in the audience helped them bring up two rings with a hint of wisdom, and erected one on each side of the stage.

The two teams used long-handled poles on horseback to hit each other's heads into each other's rings. The ghosts in the audience spontaneously recorded the scores for them, and they had a great time.

Xiwen watched it with interest for a while, feeling that this activity was somewhat similar to the Cuju he had heard of before, except that the ball turned into a head, and the neck of the ghost playing with the ball was empty...

"Doctor Strange, Ms. Grey, it's been a long time since I saw you!" came an enthusiastic voice.

Xiwen turned around and saw a ghost wearing a tight-fitting top and a particularly large wheel-shaped collar floating over.

"Hi, Sir Nicholas, long time no see!" Sivan greeted him.

"Hello, Nicholas." Helena also nodded to this very qualified ghost.

"What have you been busy with recently? Why haven't I seen you?" Nicholas floated to Xiwen and patted him on the shoulder, asking.

"What are you busy with? I'm locked up!" Xiwen was very frank about this, because he had already seen Bloody Baron in this hall.

"What's going on?" Nicholas frowned and asked.

"I am suspected to be involved in the destruction of the castle's magic node." Xiven shrugged and said innocently. "But I actually don't even know what a magic node is."

"So you were imprisoned for two months?" Nicholas raised his head in surprise and asked in shock.

Then his head fell off...

Xiwen: "..."

Nicholas calmly lifted his head that was tilted to one side and put it back on his neck.

"I'm sorry, Strange, it was just an accident." He adjusted the position of his head and said distressedly. "I didn't expect that wearing such a big collar wouldn't stop me."

Xiwen twitched the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "Maybe you can wear a larger closed lav collar top."

Nicholas actually thought about the possibility and nodded solemnly.

At this time, the bloody Barrow came over with a sinister face.

He was as skinny as a stick, his eyes were straight, and his body was covered in silver blood. Wherever he went, other ghosts automatically made a large space for him.

"Why do you, the murderer who destroyed the castle, dare to come out?" Bloody Barrow asked sternly.

Xiwen would not tolerate his bad temper and immediately pushed back: "Then I suggest you go to the principal's office on the eighth floor now and directly question the person who made the decision to release me."

Their eyes collided, neither of them giving an inch.

"Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's fight the worst Barrow and the annoying Strange! Let's celebrate!"

A sharp and unpleasant voice suddenly resounded over the hall.

The atmosphere of the confrontation was interrupted. Xiwen turned his head with a black line on his face and looked at the little man with a pair of evil black eyes and a big mouth.

Bloody Barrow became a little angry and shouted angrily: "Peeves, if you don't want to die, get away!"

Peeves was obviously very afraid of Barrow. He shuddered after hearing Barrow's words, and then left the scene in a flash.

After Peeves' interruption, Xiven also lost interest in tit-for-tat with Barrow here, and took Helena to prepare to go to other areas. After finally getting out, why should we become unhappy because of a madman?

"Wait!" However, Bloody Barro was not ready to let him go.

"Do you have any other advice, Mr. Barrow?" Xiwen turned around and said gloomily.

Helena also turned around at the same time and said coldly: "Barrow, don't be ungrateful."

When Bloody Barrow heard Helena's cold words, he looked a little lonely, but he still stood stubbornly and said fiercely: "I don't know what method you used to deceive Helena, but I will not tolerate you. If you continue to harm her, I will personally drive you out of this castle!"

"Barrow!" Helena was instantly angry when she heard Barrow's words and said loudly. "I repeat, Stephen did not deceive me or harm me! What happens between us has nothing to do with you!"

Xiven held Helena's hand, looked at Barrow with the same annoyance, and said impatiently: "This is endless, isn't it? Use any moves quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

Bloody Barrow no longer hesitated and pulled out a bloody scimitar from his waist.

"Do you still want to kill me physically?" Xiwen looked at the knife in his hand amusedly and asked.

"It can't kill you, but it can at least make you temporarily weak. That's enough!" Barrow said fiercely, and then rushed towards Xiwen.

Nicholas was so anxious when he saw this scene that he wanted to stop Barrow, but he slapped him and pushed him aside. Other ghosts who wanted to break up the fight did not dare to step forward because they were afraid of Bloody Barro. The leader of the Headless Hunters seemed to want to rush down, but he was too far away.

Faced with this scene, Helena resolutely stood in front of Xiwen.

"Haha." Xiwen suddenly laughed, took Helena's hand and pulled her behind him. "Just watch the show from behind, I'll deal with him right away."

Then he also rushed towards Barrow.

Barrow's knife is very sharp, with a hint of heart-stopping energy attached to it, and seems to be able to really cause harm to ghosts.

When the knife struck, Xiwen subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it, but forgot the identity of the ghost at this time. The fighting method of floating in the air was obviously different from the fighting skills on the ground, so he underestimated the distance that Barrow's knife could cover and overestimated his dodge speed.

The knife hit Xiwen's left shoulder hard, making him stunned for a moment.

"Stephen!" Helena exclaimed, about to rush forward.

"Don't come here, I'm fine!"

Xiwen raised his hand and stopped Helena's movement. Then he looked at Barrow, took a breath, and stabilized his mind that had just been suddenly weakened.

Barrow does seem to have an ability that other ghosts do not have. His knife can really cut off other people's energy. This is simply a magical skill to restrain ghosts!
