Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 90 Clues
Mike believed that he would never make a mistake. There were only a few female ghosts in Hogwarts, and Ms. Grey was definitely the tallest among them. So even if the female ghost who was talking to the Bloody Baron had her back to him, he could be sure that it was Ms. Grey.

The two ghosts seemed to be arguing about something. The usually taciturn Bloody Baron was now very excited, gesticulating as if he wanted to argue about something. Unfortunately, Mike was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying.

Just as Mike was about to move closer to hear more clearly, Ms. Grey suddenly turned her head and looked in his direction.

In the dim light, an exquisite face suddenly appeared. Although a little haggard, it was still obvious that Ms. Grey must have been a great beauty when she was alive.

After turning her head to look at Mike, Ms. Grey stopped talking to Bloody Baron, and disappeared into the wall.

The Bloody Baron did not chase after him upon seeing this, and his ferocious expression, which had been caused by his excitement when talking to Ms. Grey, calmed down again.

Mike was now certain that there must be something on him that could be sensed by Ms. Grey, otherwise she would never have discovered him. You know, ghosts have very poor perception abilities. Fortunately, Bloody Baron did not intend to avoid him, otherwise Mike would have gone crazy.

Mike walked out from the dark corner, and the blackthorn wood wand appeared silently in his hand.

Ordinary wizards did not have the means to harm ghosts, so the Bloody Baron did not care about Mike and had no intention of communicating with Mike. He walked straight into the depths of the corridor.

Mike was not surprised by Bloody Baron's reaction. To be honest, he had met Bloody Baron many times before in the corridor outside the Request Room. Bloody Baron always kept people at a distance. Even if someone greeted him, he would ignore them. But Mike had done his homework before coming here, so he was not afraid that Baron would ignore him.

"Please wait a moment, Sir Barrow," Mike said.

However, as usual, Bloody Baron did not stop at all and continued to float forward.

Seeing that he was about to disappear into the wall, Mike spoke again: "Barro, how does it feel to kill your loved one with your own hands?"

Hearing Mike's slightly sarcastic voice, Bloody Baron, whose body had almost completely disappeared into the wall, froze. Then he slowly turned around, and a thin face appeared in front of Mike.

"I...didn't!" Barrow said word by word.

When Mike saw his reaction, he felt relieved.

But Mike made a very annoying expression on his face and continued, "You don't have to deny it. I already know the truth. It's normal for love to turn into hate. For Helena, you abandoned your teacher Salazar Slytherin. Doesn't your conscience hurt? What's more, that woman knew your feelings for her but still kept you hanging for decades. Hahaha, do you know what we call your brotherly behavior now? A dog licker who ends up with nothing!"

What Mike said was not without purpose. According to the history of Hogwarts, Slytherin left Hogwarts in the first few years of the school's establishment because of disagreements with the other three giants on enrollment concepts. The Bloody Baron, as Slytherin's favorite student, should have followed Slytherin to leave, but he stayed in Hogwarts until Ms. Ravenclaw ordered him to go find her daughter.

Then it is easy to guess what happened. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. The only person who could make the outstanding wizard Bloody Baron stay in Hogwarts was Helena. It is not surprising that his long-term admiration for Helena turned into deep hatred after Helena rejected him.

After Mike spoke out his findings and his own guesses, Bloody Baron's face, which had been frozen for thousands of years, finally showed anger. "I didn't! I saved Helena! Otherwise, she would have been devoured by that demon!" Bloody Baron's expression instantly became extremely terrifying, and he grabbed Mike with both hands while roaring.

In an instant, a bone-chilling chill surged into Mike's body.

Mike was very familiar with this chill. He had felt a similar chill on the night when his mind was bewitched by the light gate. It was this chill that pulled him out of his insane state.

But after Mike felt it carefully, he found that this chill was obviously different from the previous one. The previous chill gave him the feeling of a cold wind in winter, giving him a sharp feeling like a knife. However, the chill released by Bloody Baron did not have this feeling, but instead had a faint smell of blood.

The chill spread very quickly, and soon began to spread from Mike's chest to the surroundings. Mike's reaction was also very fast. He shook the wand in his hand, which had been ready for a long time, and shouted:

"Armor protection!"

As the spell was chanted, a translucent shield enveloped Mike, isolating the coldness from the outside. The coldness in Mike's body, without the external energy supply, was quickly eliminated by the magic power in Mike's body.

Mike shuddered violently, raised his head and was about to continue questioning Barrow, but found that something was wrong with Barrow at this time.

Barrow looked as if he had seen something horrible, and his ferocious face became even more terrifying. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Facing Barrow's strange reaction, Mike raised his wand in front of him and pointed it at Barrow, ready to release more armor to protect himself. Judging from the situation just now, Barrow's ghost is obviously different from other ghosts. He can cause certain damage to living people.

But Mike's action made Barrow react.

"Devil! You are the devil!" Barrow pointed his trembling finger at Mike and screamed, "No! Don't come over! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me!"

Barrow screamed and flew towards the wall, soon disappearing into the corridor.

Mike was shocked by Barrow's reaction. He didn't look like he was pretending at all, as if he had really seen a devil.

Suddenly, Mike seemed to have thought of something and reached out to touch his face. Although it was smooth and there was nothing unusual, Mike knew clearly that there was an invisible and hideous claw mark at the place where he touched.

In the dim corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, a smile appeared on Mike's face, and he felt as if he understood something.
