Hogwarts time travel

Chapter 394 Mechanical Seance

Unlike most of the evils caused by childhood circumstances, Jack has a kind of evil in his bones, which has nothing to do with education, has nothing to do with the environment, and only has to do with his heart.

Many people have seen children grab bugs with innocent hands and kill them in various ways, but this does not mean that children are evil, it is just that no one told him that it is evil, he is following his instinct Just act.

It is the instinct of biological evolution to use the strong to bully the weak and the weak to prey on the strong. Without the plundering of high positions to low positions, the food chain will stop and the ecology will collapse.

But human society is not the animal world. If we want to develop orderly, the barbaric law of the jungle needs to be covered up. The West is called "religion", because they control the manic side of human society, and indirectly make many people with evil intentions give up doing evil.

But just like war, evil also accompanies human civilization. There will always be some people, even if they have been educated by the rules, they still cannot give up the idea of ​​doing evil. empathy.

Jack is neither of the above two categories, he does not kill people to trample on the rules, he also has emotions, not a robot.

He is rather special. What he enjoys is the ritual sense of withering life. This kind of emotion that is contrary to public perception basically establishes the background of Jack.

If killing people is a good thing in human society, he would become a saint, but human society is not crazy, so in the eyes of the public, he is a murderer, but Jack thinks that other people are also mentally ill.

So Mr. Murderer opened the cage where Holly and David were held.

The two walked out of the cage in doubt, looking at Jack's half-smile face.

"I have hidden something in the hearts of both of you. As long as the host dies, the door will open and you can go out."

"Are you kidding me?" David questioned.

"No kidding, you all have it in your heart, and you only need one thing to open the door, that is to say, if one of you dies, the other one can leave."

"Do you think we are stupid?" Holly said with contempt on her face, "If we beat you, we can get out."

"Then you need to find me first?" Jack laughed loudly, his body dissipated like a bubble, leaving the two of them looking at each other.

"It's really gone." Holly touched Jack's original position to make sure it wasn't an illusion.

"It may be caused by the distortion of the light." David scanned the room, looking for a way out.

This is a secret room surrounded by iron plates on all sides, including the ceiling. There are no windows and doors, and only an unknown light source illuminates the room dimly.

David walked to the edge of the wall, moved along the wall little by little, groped on the wall with his hands, and soon found a vertical gap extending from the position of his head to the ground.

Touching to the left, it is natural to touch a horizontal line. If there is no accident, this is the door of the secret room.

There was no keyhole visible to the naked eye, so David went back to the two cages and looked, but couldn't find anything similar to a key structure.

If there is really no key, is the key really in each other's hearts as Jack said?

To escape and kill each other?Don't be silly, before that time, David will sacrifice himself first even if the situation is desperate.

When David was thinking, he saw Heli walking over in panic.

"What's wrong?" David asked.

Holly stretched out her hand to show him, and found that the position of her finger was already wet with water.

There is no water in the secret room, where does the water come from?

David suddenly realized something, and hurried to touch the floor, and found a layer of shallow puddles, water was constantly flowing out from under the floor.

If the room does not have drainage, the room will soon be filled with water, and they will not be able to live without air.

But now they don't feel stuffy, maybe there is a vent to let them out.

After comforting Heli, the brief panic disappeared, and David regained hope, and continued to grope on the wall.

This time He Li was lifted up by him, reaching out to touch the high wall.

David had a hard time lifting, and Holly was very thin, and the reason he couldn't keep up was his frailty.

Not everyone can resist the sequelae of the Cruciatus Curse.

However, Heli lived up to her trust, she touched a bulge smoothly, tore it lightly, and a thin piece of paper fell off, revealing the fist-sized ventilation duct behind it.

"Damn it!" David and Heli cursed at the same time.

Because they saw that the pipes can be closed, and when the water level is reached, the madman outside will close the ventilation pipes and let them drown.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to pass through such a small pipeline.

"What?" Holly asked David.

"There must be a way." David stroked the wall lightly with his hands, and he remembered Jack's crazy talk about his difficulty in obtaining magic, and said that he could not break his magic...

Is there something special about yourself?

David closed his eyes, trying to feel the abnormality in his body, but he didn't feel anything except the growing exhaustion in his body.

Is life really going to end here?

The water was up to their ankles, but they still had no way out.

"Whoa-"

A knife fell into the water, causing a high splash.

David hurriedly looked up, only to see Jack closing the skylight with a smile and gesturing to them.

David squatted down slowly, trying to pick up the knife, but was grabbed by a hand even faster.

It's Holly.

"If one must die to get out of trouble, then I would rather that person be me." Heli said firmly.

David was dumbfounded, are you mentally ill?Why commit suicide?In any case, it is not to the point where suicide can solve the problem, right?

And even if they commit suicide, the door may not open, because Jack is probably lying to them.

David noticed something wrong, Holly was by no means a brainless idiot, and her abnormality was probably affected by "magic".

Thinking of this, David stepped forward quickly, and slapped Heli's beautiful face hard.

Holly was stunned by the slap, and the knife in her hand fell into the water.

"What's wrong with me?" Holly looked at David suspiciously.

David breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, only to see Jack's resentful eyes flashing past the skylight.

Then there was a dull sound of iron striking.

"Boom-"

what sound?

"Boom-"

It came again.

"Boom boom boom——"

As if they had found a trick, the voices became more and more dense, gradually connecting into a series, and soon, with a muffled sound overhead, the skylight was opened, and a fluffy little head stuck out.

"need any help?"
