Chapter 25 In the Forbidden Forest

"Are you sure Quirrell will come tonight?"

"Meow! Of course! Stop talking!"

Chris growled a little irritably.

Lu Yunkai could only shut up.

He raised his head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the branches.

Amidst the dark clouds, the moon barely peeks out. Tonight is really a good time to sneak up and follow!

"Meow, he's here!"

"oh!"

Lu Yunkai buried his head in the pit again, leaving only a pair of eyes above the ground.

I saw a figure appearing not far in front of Lu Yunkai, with a cloth belt almost as wide as his shoulders wrapped around his head. It was Professor Quirrell.

The usual kind smile and a little bit of timidity were gone from his face, replaced by an indescribable viciousness and determination. That look made Lu Yun's head tremble.

He suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Lu Yunkai. After looking for a while, he shouted in a low voice:

"Come out! I know you're there!"

Lu Yunkai's heart beat wildly following his words, but he still didn't move.

In the dormitory two days ago, Chrissy told him that recently it had discovered that Quirrell would sneak into the Forbidden Forest every half month, and when he came out, he had something that Chrissy was very familiar with. the taste of.

After hearing what Chris said, Lu Yunkai decided to enter the Forbidden Forest to have a look.

He understood that Chris must have wanted to come in for a long time, but because of the Acromantula in the woods, she had been waiting for an excuse to "protect the master" like tonight.

Lu Yunkai prepared for this night for two whole days: he went to the library to check the potion formula for a long time, and spent money to buy a lot of materials from the system, and then spent a day and a half refining those materials. It became four bottles of magic potion.

They are: body-shaping potion, breath-concealing potion, odor-covering potion and natural breath potion.

There must be a lot of potions with duplicate effects, but Lu Yunkai doesn't care.

Safety first.

And this behavior that Chris complained about as "overly cautious" showed its value at this moment: Quirrell seemed to clearly feel that there was something in this direction, but he couldn't see it.

In Quirrell's eyes, the pit where Lu Yunkai was lying was just a pile of leaves.

For a while.

Quirrell, who seemed to be sure that no one was around, finally relaxed and untied the cloth from his head.

The scene that appeared in front of Lu Yunkai's eyes at the next moment made him almost gasp: there was not a single hair on Quirrell's head, but there was a face on the back of his head! !

"Master, it's safe." Quirrell's voice sounded extremely humble.

"Yeah, but I feel there's something else over there."

The face on the back of his head spoke. The hoarse voice made Lu Yunkai's heart beat a beat slower.

"I'll check again."

Quirrell didn't seem to have the courage to disobey the master who grew on the back of his head, and hurriedly ran all the way to where Lu Yunkai was lying.

The auspicious suit bought for a gold galleon is not eye-catching at all among the fallen leaves.

Lu Yunkai was secretly glad that he had gone the extra mile in preparation.

"Master, it's safe." Quirrell said to the face on the back of his head again.

"It seems I'm too weak." The face said hoarsely again.

"Let's go find the unicorn now!" Quirrell didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing Quirrell leaving, Lu Yunkai wanted to chase him, but saw Chris jumping directly in front of him, blocking his way.

"Meow, don't follow me. The potions you drank don't look very useful. If you are discovered, you will be in trouble."

"It's here..." Lu Yunkai looked a little disappointed as he looked at Quilo's disappearing figure in the distance.

Quirrell was just a few steps away from discovering him, and he also knew that it would be dangerous to catch up.

"Meow, otherwise, you stay here and don't move, and I will follow you secretly. This way, even if the eight-eyed spider comes to trouble me, I can still say that I came to find you in the Forbidden Forest."

"It's dangerous for you to go in!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Otherwise, let's forget it..."

"Meow, it's okay! I'm a cat! I want to hide my tracks, how could the Twolegs find me!" Chrissy shook the cat's head, "Then I'll go first."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai nodded, "You must be careful!"

"Meow! I know it well."

Kris dodged and disappeared.

Lu Yunkai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chris's agile figure. He just seemed to have seen Chris's figure grow several times larger and then become transparent.

This cat... is not a cat after all!

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and shook his head, climbed out of the pit, used a cleaning spell to remove the leaves and loose soil on his body, and then sat on a fallen tree trunk nearby.

It was surprisingly quiet in the Forbidden Forest at night, without even the sound of insects.

"I don't think there is any danger in this place! Why are students not allowed to enter? Is it because of that spider?" Lu Yunkai muttered in a low voice.

"That's because Dumbledore has a deal with us."

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was startled and turned his head.

I saw someone behind me!

wrong! That's not human! Although his upper body is that of a strong man, his lower body is that of a horse with four legs!

Is this the legendary centaur?

"Don't be afraid, I have no hostility towards you." The centaur sensed Lu Yunkai's panic and said, "I have been observing you here for a long time. You are here to monitor that evil creature, right?"

"I have been observing you for a long time? Why didn't we feel you were here?"

"This is our territory. It's hard for you to find me." The centaur shook his head, "My name is Firenze."

"My name is Lu Yunkai."

"Well, I know, the person in the prophecy. I came to see you." Firenze looked at Lu Yunkai deeply.

"...Did you get something wrong? The prophecy is about my friend Harry, Harry Potter!"

"There can't be only one prophecy, right?"

"That...Since you call Professor Quirrell an evil creature, do you know what he did in the Forbidden Forest?" Lu Yunkai didn't know how to answer him and changed the subject.

"Doing something very evil." Firenze looked very secretive: "But this is destiny, we can't do anything to disrupt the world."

"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded expressionlessly, "Then I'll sit here for a while, is that okay?"

"Of course, you are our friend." Firenze smiled, "All those who bring destiny to the world are our friends."

"Can you... forget it."

Lu Yunkai shook his head.

He is not a human being, so don't expect him to speak human words.

Firenze did not talk to Lu Yunkai again, but just took two steps back and disappeared into the woods.

Lu Yunkai watched him disappear in front of him, feeling magical and envious, but also a little helpless: he spent so much money and spent two days to make the medicine, not only was it suspected by Qi Luo, but it was also directly seen through by Firenze.

Look at him!

…

Not long after the woods returned to silence, the sound of leaves rustling came from afar. Lu Yunkai turned his head and saw a leopard with a dark body and a looming body running quickly.

Fast and quiet.

When it reached Lu Yunkai, its body suddenly became smaller, and the ugly cat with yellow and white fur that Lu Yunkai was familiar with appeared.

"Meow! Let's go! Quirrell may come out soon." Chris called to Lu Yunkai, and then ran out of the forbidden forest on his own.

Lu Yunkai wanted to ask what happened inside, but seeing that it was so anxious, he knew that he could not delay any longer, so he hurriedly followed it.

One person and one cat sneaked back to the dormitory, and they were almost discovered by the cat of the administrator Filch in the middle. Fortunately, Chris shouted at the cat and scared it away.

It seems that in the latest cat-to-cat competition, Chris should have gained the upper hand...

"Meow! I finally know what that familiar smell on him is."

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Chris couldn't wait to shout to Lu Yunkai.

She seemed full of anger.

"Don't be angry! What happened?"

"Qiluo! That bastard! He actually killed a unicorn in the woods! And drank its blood!!"

"...Ah??"

"Unicorns are our best friends, the most holy, kindest and simple creatures!" Chris roared angrily: "That bastard actually drank the blood of a unicorn! The Moon Goddess will curse him!!"

"Calm down! Or you go kill him now?" Lu Yunkai looked at Chris's appearance, a little bit amused.

"If I could kill him, I would have done it just now." Chris glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely, "You just say sarcastic words!"

"So, now it's basically confirmed that compared with Snape, at least Snape is more reliable, right?" Lu Yunkai tried to calm Chris's anxious mood and changed the subject.

"Anyone who can do that to a unicorn must be a demon!" Chris still seemed to find it difficult to calm down, "Go to Snape and report him!"

"That's not now." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Tomorrow during the day..."

"Meow! I can take you to the place where that bastard killed the unicorn and catch him red-handed!"

"Tomorrow!!" Lu Yunkai roared at Chris.

"… Meow, why are you so fierce!" Chris felt wronged, "How about I go find Snape myself?"

"No." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "You are not allowed to leave the dormitory tonight."

"Meow?"

"You are not in the right state now, and you are prone to impulsiveness. It doesn't matter if you die, but what if you kill me?" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.

"Meow." Chris lowered her head.

The dormitory became quiet.

Lu Yunkai reached out and touched Chris's head.

This time, Chris surprisingly did not dodge.
