"I think I've found the captain's whereabouts..." Kiki said in the team channel. Because she was riding the horse-shaped water monster, her search speed was greatly increased, and she quickly found the large rock that hid the underwater passage.

Kiki: I found a suspicious underwater passage. It's very wide. I think if the captain sees it, he'll definitely go in and take a look!

Hagrid: Wait a minute, I see what looks like people from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement have gone into the water and are heading your way!

Qiqi was startled and quickly rode the horse-shaped water monster into the nearby water plants. She hid in the disguise of the horse-shaped water monster, and no one could see her.

Yuxi finally escaped the pursuit of the horse-shaped water monster. Fortunately, Zhuobi also emerged from the mirror, though he looked somewhat disheveled. From a distance, they saw several black dots approaching the water from afar.

Zhuo Bi quickly cast a head-diving spell on himself, dived into the water, and hid in the seaweed with You Qian. You Qian pointed to the black dots and gestured, "Follow them!" Zhuo Bi nodded quickly, and the two of them swam far behind the group towards the underwater passage.

As darkness fell and it was time for dinner, Harry and many students were reluctant to return to the castle. They stood anxiously on the high platform in the middle of the lake. The outcome of the competition was already decided: Krum was first, Cedric was second, Harry was third, and Fleur was fourth. At least they had all returned safely with their closest friends and family. However, Bai Lin had been in the water for nearly eight hours and there was still no news of him.

Dumbledore loudly reassured everyone, but the Ministry of Magic staff, under Barty's orders, prohibited anyone from going into the water under the pretext of "safety issues." They kept emphasizing that a professional underwater search team had just been dispatched to carry out a rescue operation and asked all students and teachers to return to Hogwarts Castle to wait, but no one was willing to listen.

Hermione and Cho Chang were both rescued from the water, still wrapped in thick blankets, but neither of them wanted to leave. They just clung tightly to the railing of the platform. Tears streamed down Cho Chang's face. Cedric was at a loss for what to do (for some reason, although Cedric had successfully invited Cho Chang to be his dance partner at the Christmas ball, they had not yet become boyfriend and girlfriend).

"It'll be alright...it'll be alright..." Harry murmured, wrapped in a blanket and leaning against the railing. He couldn't help but glance at Snape beside him, whose brows were furrowed and whose expression was uncertain.

"Professor, do you think... Kaelin might be in trouble?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

Snape said with great certainty, "If it's just the kind of difficulty you're facing... he should be able to win easily in ten minutes. You know he personally captured Peter Pettigrew and killed the Tyrannosaurus Rex that Peter controlled with the Imperius Curse..." He paused, and Harry keenly sensed Snape's hesitation.

Snape lowered his voice and said, "It seems the Ministry of Magic... has increased the difficulty for him..."

"Like the first match? They've prepared an even more powerful monster for him?" Harry asked urgently.

Snape remained silent, staring intently at the still lake. Like him, Karkaroff seemed to know more, but he too stared coldly at the lake, unwilling to leave, as if anticipating something—perhaps the triumphant return of Whitescale, or perhaps the sight of Whitescale's cold, lifeless corpse.

Harry had clearly asked the wrong person; someone else obviously knew the inside story. Hagrid, who had already reported the information to Dumbledore, came to the bushes on the east bank. Now the woods were pitch black, and no one could see that the half-giant had dragged a large bundle out of the bushes and spread it out on the lakeside. It looked like an oversized seal skin. Hagrid awkwardly crawled inside, and when he spread his limbs out, he looked like a promoter for a seal show in an aquarium—a big fat man dressed in a seal mascot costume.

Hagrid the seal struggled to move along the shore before finally rolling into the water. If Bai Lin were there, he would surely give him a comical award and tell him that among many marine creatures, seals are not particularly good swimmers, which is why they are hunted as regular food by killer whales and polar bears.

Underwater, Kiki waited quietly at the entrance of the dark underwater passage. After a while, she saw five people wearing black sharkskin diving suits, with bubble head spells on their heads and long poles in their hands swimming over. At the end of their poles was a bright underwater magic lantern, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

Although Kiki wasn't very familiar with the rules and systems of wizards, she had a keen sense for dark wizards. Just by looking at these five people, she knew they weren't good people.

Indeed, in the Harry Potter world, wizards who frequently use the three most dangerous forbidden spells, or other dark magic that kills or tortures people, will gradually be influenced by dark magic, becoming more bloodthirsty and insane, and their appearance will tend to be ferocious and ugly.

This is why, after Voldemort's first death, many Death Eaters claimed they were affected by the Imperius Curse, thus avoiding punishment. This seemed rather hasty and arbitrary. However, the old wizards at the hearings could roughly deduce whether the defendant frequently used evil dark magic simply by looking at his appearance and mannerisms. If the defendant had not used the three forbidden spells and looked no different from an ordinary person, then even if he was not controlled by the Imperius Curse, so what? He could be released if possible.

The five people in front of Qiqi were clearly not the type to be let go easily. These five people, some old and some young, seemed to be descendants of Norse Vikings. They all had messy red hair, and their arms, necks, and even some of their faces were covered in tattoos, making them look fierce and intimidating. They didn't look like they were going into the water to rescue people at all.

Kiki didn't dare to make any rash moves, but said in the team channel: There are five people in total. They should all be those hateful black wizards. They have already entered the underwater tunnel. They seem to know where the captain is.

Before long, Yuxi and Zhuobi arrived. They were astonished to see that Qiqi had tamed an adult horse-shaped water monster. However, Yuxi remembered that Qiqi could also summon a Sphinx as a mount on land, so she accepted it as Qiqi's special ability.

Although the horse-shaped water monster was not very willing, under Qiqi's tyranny, it still cooperated and made Youxi and Zhuobi come along, carrying the three of them into the dark underwater passage.

The underwater passage looks like a giant sea worm that has crawled out of the water, and it is quite smooth due to the back and forth water flow. Some small underwater plants grow on the stone walls of the passage, and if you look closely, they can even emit a faint fluorescent light.

Yuxi and Zhuobi dared not use "Fluorescent Blink". The five dark wizards dozens of meters ahead were their guiding lights. They just needed to follow them closely. The dark wizards were not unaware of the danger, but the horse-shaped water monster was too good at hiding. As long as it swam slowly along the passage wall, it was basically silent. Even if they turned around, they would hardly notice it.

The problem for the dark wizards still lay ahead. The black monsters, attracted by the sea serpent's blood, seemed to have smelled the human presence. They swam over from the other end of the passage, saw the dark wizards' magic lanterns, and sped up to pounce on them.

Only then did the three behind realize what the long poles in the hands of the black wizards were for. They saw that the poles emitted tiny sparks of electricity, which could instantly cover an area of ​​more than ten meters in front of them. As soon as the black monster fish got close, they were struck by the electricity, as if they had been stabbed hard by a harpoon. The intense pain made them flee quickly.

With them leading the way, the three behind them were happy to relax. However, the passage was so long that everyone felt they had probably already swum out of Hogwarts' territory. Only Zobi had a particularly good sense of distance and direction. He said in the team chat: "This passage is strange... We haven't been taken very far, but we're getting deeper and deeper. We're at least two hundred meters underground, but the water pressure hasn't increased much. I guess the water here is also imbued with magic..."

Hagrid: I didn't want to say this... that passage is a little secret... it leads to the Giant Octopus's home, the "Underground Magic Lake," and there's never been any record of it in any literature. I don't know how the Ministry of Magic found out about it; it seems they've set a trap for Kaelin...

Yuxi: That means we came to the right place! Kerry must be inside. Let's stick close! Those five people ahead aren't here to rescue us; they're here to kill us!

Sure enough, after swimming for another ten minutes, they found that the view suddenly opened up, and the black wizards had obviously led them out of the passage and into the underground magic lake.

The black wizards' lanterns attracted many strange fish, but their electric shock poles were very effective, scattering the fish in no time.

Kiki: There's a strong smell of blood in the lake... There must have been a fierce battle here. With that much blood loss, the injured guy must have been a big one!

Yuxi: I'll be thankful as long as it's not Kerry!

The horse-shaped water monster clearly had some deterrent effect on small carnivorous fish. The strange fish were scattered by the electric rod, but they did not dare to attack the three people behind them. Instead, they formed a circle around the two groups from a distance.

The five dark wizards swam straight to the stone island in the lake, which saved the three behind them a lot of trouble. They slowly surfaced, and Yuqian and Qiqi were immediately stunned by the fluorescent plants covering the top of the cave, as if they had entered a magical space from a fairy tale.

"Ampamp!" The first black wizard to surface cursed. He seemed to be their leader, a middle-aged man in his fifties. After swimming for so long, anyone would be exhausted. He dragged his heavy steps onto the rocky island, casually tossed aside the long pole in his hand, and rubbed his back.

"I'm never coming to this godforsaken place again!" the middle-aged black wizard said. He watched his four subordinates climb ashore and couldn't help but curse again, seemingly complaining that the young men were too weak to help their master achieve his great cause.

"Poor Erikson, that old lecher, is he off enjoying himself with his spoils?" The middle-aged dark wizard grumbled as he walked forward. He was quite annoyed that the Viking giant hadn't come to greet him.

However, as he stepped onto a large rock, the small stone island became clearly visible. Catherine was still tied to the stone pillar, but she was no longer mechanically stabbing. Instead, her face was blank, the dagger was lying at her feet, and she was swaying, as if she were still dreaming.

Erikson, the Blood Axeman who was thrown into the lake and torn apart by the fish, was nowhere to be seen. The middle-aged dark wizard also failed to notice Bai Lin, who was not far in front of Catherine. Bai Lin had turned into a stone sculpture, and because of the dim light, he blended into the mottled ground of the stone island and was very inconspicuous.

Neither the Viking giant nor their target was visible, which slightly surprised the middle-aged black wizard. Before he could react, Kiki had already leaped out of the lake on her horse-shaped water monster. The last black wizard was caught off guard and was slammed to the ground by the horse-shaped water monster, whose jaws, like those of a giant crocodile, bit off one of his legs.

The horse-shaped water monster was clearly starving. It dragged the young dark wizard towards the lake. Kiki, Yuqian, and the other two jumped off the monster's back. Without hesitation, Yuqian used "Knockout" on the nearest dark wizard!

The red magical energy struck the unsuspecting dark wizard precisely, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, convulsing as if he had been hit by a high-voltage electric gun.

Yuxi was greatly encouraged by the fact that she had taken down two enemies in an instant, but they were immediately met with a counterattack from three dark wizards.

"Havada Kendawa!" The middle-aged dark wizard who turned around did not hesitate to pull out his wand at the three people who rushed ashore and cast the Havada Killing Curse.

A burst of turquoise magical energy shot out, but luckily Kiki was incredibly agile and tackled Yuxi to the ground. The magical energy struck Zhuo Bi directly, but it was like a sledgehammer shattering a mirror. Zhuo Bi shattered into pieces like glass. It turned out that this was Zhuo Bi's substitute mirror.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Bi's true form had already decisively hidden behind a large rock. He came from the Black Witch Society, and although it wasn't an evil organization, Zhuo Bi was very clear about the way black wizards operated. In this kind of desolate, dark, and windy scene, they either didn't make a move or they didn't intend to leave any survivors.

As Kiki rolled to the ground, she drew the scimitar from her back and hurled it at a nearby dark wizard. The scimitar, like a boomerang, traced a graceful arc and aimed straight for the wizard's neck.

The dark wizard was about to cast a killing curse on the two men on the ground when the scimitar he was thrown at him choked him back, and he instead cast a "protective armor" spell on himself.

The scimitar was deflected by a beam of armor-shaped light and bounced to the side, but Kiki had already achieved her goal. She had led Yuxi to hide in the shadows, out of the black wizards' sight.

The scene in the movie where magic is casually deflected is actually extremely difficult in reality. Since a person only has one life, dodging and preventing the dark wizard from having a chance to aim is the simplest way to deal with the Killing Curse.
