Chapter 569： farce (1/2)

”what happened?”

Catrina heard the noise coming from the door and looked up suspiciously at Albert and Isobel, who had hurriedly returned to the House of Request, wondering what they were doing.

Albert ignored Katrina, and since he took out a piece of parchment from his robe pocket, he unfolded to confirm the exact location of Ginny Weasley at the moment.

If the basilisk is released from the secret room, Ginny Weasley will definitely be near the basilisk.

However, the situation was not the same as Albert thought. Ginny Weasley was in the Gryffindor common room at this time, not wandering in Hogwarts Castle.

So, just a farce?

Albert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the detection ball was just a test product, and it wouldn't be surprising even if something happened.

Isobel stared at the footprints of ink dots on the map in Albert's hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, she saw Albert pull out another more detailed map again, which was the live spot map that she had seen before. Albert spread the map of the live spot and carefully inspected the corridors around the responsive house, and found no footprints of any creatures.

The absence of footprints does not mean that there are no creatures around.

At least, as far as Albert knows, animals without names don't seem to work. Those spiders, mice, and cockroaches with no names can't be displayed on the live spot map.

Only cats like Filch, or other students who have named pets, will appear on the live spot map.

Albert is not sure if the basilisk has his own name.

However, one thing is certain, Voldemort's diary cannot be displayed on the map. To a certain extent, Tom's state is worse than ghosts or even the most humble spirits.

Albert didn't know whether the basilisk had a name, but seeing Ginny Weasley in the common room, he was probably sure that it was just a false alarm.

But why did the detection ball react?

Albert regained his sight on the detection ball. After entering the room of responsiveness, the reaction disappeared completely.

”Sure enough, is it Oolong?”

It is said that the detection range of the scope is one mile, and the detection scope of the pocket scope should not be that wide. And the detection ball in his hand is purely a product made by imitating a sight glass, and its range is definitely not one mile in radius, but it should be more than enough to cover the castle.

Well, if that's the case, it's clear.

Although Albert felt that this was just forcible self-comfort, he really couldn't find other reasonable explanations.

In short, Ginny Weasley did not walk outside, which really relieved him a lot.

Of course, there are other possibilities. Perhaps the Hogwarts Castle pipeline extends in all directions, and the Basilisk was moving in the pipeline just now, but appeared very close to Albert, and was caught by the detection ball.

The entrance to the secret room is not just in the bathroom on the second floor.

To be honest, this possibility is not high.

Otherwise, Tom would not have controlled Ginny Weasley to enter Slytherin’s secret room from the entrance of the girls’ bathroom on the second floor. The crying Myrtle often moved there. If you entered, you would also need to specifically pick out Myrtle’s absence. when.

”Are you all right?” Isobel asked worriedly.

”It's okay.” Albert shook his head and said: ”It's probably a false alarm, this thing really needs improvement.”

”What are you doing?” Katrina looked at the two people whispering together.

”It's nothing, let's go back first.” Albert took a deep breath, took Isobel's soft palm, and exhorted, ”Also, it's better not to run around.”

With that said, Albert and Isobel left the responsive house together. The detection ball began to heat up again, and finally split from the middle, completely broken.

Albert was speechless immediately.

He somewhat understood why he didn't get the certification of the skill panel after he made this thing.

”The basilisk problem must be resolved as soon as possible.”

Albert admires those who are ignorant. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing.

”Sure enough, all of this is Tom's fault.”
