Welcome to my mansion, a house without a chapter.

Chapter 82 Welcome to my mansion, a house of no return (4/6 Seeking first subscriptions!)

"You stay here, I'll go out and check."

Krum swallowed hard and said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Noah, with a tearful voice, said the remaining teammate:

"Come on, bro, let's not split up. That's how people die in horror movies!"

Krum:

66

Has the victim identity already been automatically assumed?

The two of them, one in front of the other, holding their wands, cautiously moved towards the door.

Fortunately.

It was a person who broke in.

They're still a bunch of pathetic Hogwarts students, like wolves and foxes.

The leader was a beautiful young woman with long, dark golden hair neatly tied back.

however.

She was soaked to the bone, and strands of her dark golden hair clung to her face.

The robes were soaked with water, and their original color was no longer visible.

Only his eyes still shone with a bright and determined light.

The remaining two team members were just as ruthless as she was.

It seems they've even forgotten to use spells, focusing solely on getting on their way.

Is it really necessary to work that hard?

Krum was surprised.

But the other party seemed to be a normal human being, not the demons and monsters in the paintings.

Krum was somewhat relieved.

He was about to speak when they suddenly burst into cheers:

"We're here! We've arrived!!"

"May Merlin protect you!!"

"We've successfully shaken off that monster! We're finally safe!!!"

They kept shouting.

Apart from the girl in the lead, the other two collapsed to the ground like the most devout believers, crying out and thanking Merlin repeatedly.

Krum: ?

When did Hogwarts become a gathering place for fanatics?

He silently retracted his raised foot and took two steps back.

However, at that moment...

Krum paused.

Suddenly, I realized a serious problem!

Didn't you encounter any traps at the entrance?

No, you just got in so easily?

Gemma Farley looked up, her eyebrows furrowed, and said coldly, "No."

At this moment, she was utterly exhausted.

Along the way, she could hear the monster's low growls from time to time.

It was as if they were right behind her, their hot breaths sizzling against the back of her neck, urging her to keep moving forward without stopping.

When they arrived at the mansion, there were only three people left, including her.

One of them was Hamburg, whose mental health was on the verge of collapse.

Let's find the door key quickly and finish this quickly.

This is what everyone thinks.

the other side.

Upon hearing Gemma's answer, Krum's eyes widened in surprise.

...Where's the promised private shark trap?

So, it's just their team getting to enjoy it all by themselves?!

Here it comes again; that feeling of being targeted is back.

Krum couldn't help but look up, glancing warily left and right.

Knowing he was the first to arrive, it was impossible for anyone to have arrived before him.

He always felt that something was lurking in the shadows, watching them suffer with pleasure.

After the two teams rested for a while...

Krum shared:

"This mansion is dangerous; we couldn't find the key on the first floor. I think we should cooperate—" His words were interrupted.

"Are you the first one here?!"

Among the Hogwarts students, a young man with bloodshot eyes, acting like a madman, shouted frantically:

"Before you, was there anyone else?!"

Krum frowned at the very offensive way the question was phrased.

But considering the other person's mental state, he still replied:

"No. I was the first one here."

As he spoke, he proudly raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

One is that compared to his previous high spirits, he is now more tired.

Upon hearing this...

Hamburger immediately grinned and burst into laughter:

"I knew it! Ethan Vincent definitely didn't make it to the manor! He probably died on the way! Hahahaha!"

He was cursed by Gemma Farley and clutched his neck in discomfort.

"If you can't learn to shut up, then never speak."

Gemma spoke slowly and deliberately, each word dripping with icy coldness.

His cold expression betrayed a hint of anger.

"Ethan Vincent? Your first-year wizard?" Krum said. "How could he have arrived at the manor before me?"

"Or rather, he simply couldn't possibly cross the Great Swamp."

"He doesn't have that ability."

The words fell.

Krum suddenly shivered.

That feeling of being watched rose up again!

And it's even clearer than before!

A chill ran down his spine, and Krum couldn't help but tighten his wand, his breathing quickened, and he looked around in fear!

What exactly is that being lurking in the shadows?!

Who exactly did he offend?!

Gemma brought up the subject: "You just said you can't go up to the second floor? Why?"

Krum paused for a moment, then said, "Come and see for yourself."

The group walked through the hall and looked at the staircase leading to the second floor on the side.

At the top of the stairs, a nearly two-meter-tall living painting stood out in astonishment!

"roar!"

The painting depicts a lifelike Cerberus, roaring and staring at them with hunger.

Krum: "Anyone who gets close will be burned by the flames. Forcing your way through will only invite an attack—what's wrong with you guys?"

Gemma Farley's team was completely stunned.

That familiar roar... wasn't it the monster that had been chasing them all along?!

How did you end up inside the house?!

In an instant.

It's like pulling back the covers and finding a terrifying demon saying "hi" to you.

My sense of security was suddenly shattered.

Aaaaaahh ...

One of the contestants suddenly let out a piercing scream!

Then he turned and ran without looking back!

They ran outside and disappeared into the rain.

Krum and Noah watched this scene with amusement.

I felt an invisible fear slowly creeping onto my skin, like a lover's touch.

The devil is smiling.

"Impossible... This is impossible... How could it be an oil painting... No, impossible!!!"

The mentally unstable young man, Hamburger Caro, seemed to realize something, but his brain refused to believe it.

His eyes were filled with shame and he staggered back a few steps while still kneeling before collapsing to the ground.

Clutching his head, he frantically muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

The other girl leading the group, Gemma Farley, was the one who first opened her red lips in surprise.

Then, surprisingly, he relaxed and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

I'm not in a hurry anymore, and I'm not flustered.

I simply sat down and closed my eyes to rest.

Krum:

Rather than the competition, the Ministry of Magic should first examine the mental state of the Hogwarts students.

Nothing seems normal.

It's as if Hogwarts harbors a demon that torments them constantly.

one way or another.

Gemma Farley seemed to know something.

Krum had no choice but to sit down and wait, just like her.

I feel extremely frustrated and anxious.

They waited until nightfall the following day.

Apart from those two teams.

A team from the French school of magic, Beauxbatons, arrived, including the team of seeded player Fleur.

Hogwarts has another team arriving, a team of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

However, what is surprising is...

Not a single person arrived at Iphamoni School.

The entire army was wiped out.

What exactly happened to them?

This uncertainty made the atmosphere even heavier.

at last.

As midnight approached, the once-silent mansion finally began to change.

The Cerberus painting that blocked the stairwell disappeared after the ground was repaired.

It transformed into a magical force, flowing upwards into the sky.

Krum jumped to his feet, staring intently at the flow of magic, his gaze traveling all the way to the third floor.

Then, his eyes widened in disbelief!

"Snapped!"

Like the opening ceremony of a stage.

A light came on and shone on the figure standing on the third floor!

Black hair, blue eyes.

Her beautiful face was like that of a porcelain doll; her smile was lovely, but devoid of any warmth.

It was as if it were just a humanoid creature wearing human skin.

A deathly silence fell over the crowd; everyone was stunned.

Only Gemma Farley, as if she had expected it, smiled.

Ethan Vincent, a first-year wizard at Hogwarts who was deemed absolutely doomed, opened his arms.

He looked down at the crowd staring at him dumbfounded and spoke with amusement:

"Gentlemen, welcome to my mansion—"

"A house where one cannot return."
