Hogwarts founder returns to campus

Although this Copernicus has been to many mysterious places for exploration, this is the first time for him to visit the swamps of Suffolk.

There used to be a couple of notorious killers here, dubbed the "Swamp Killers" by the media in the 60s. After killing five victims, they buried their bodies in the swamp.

The bones of the five victims have not been found until now. It is said that the swamp bound the five victims.After every heavy rain, the victims will turn into monsters and take revenge on every passerby.

Over time, this swamp has become an inaccessible and dangerous place, and occasionally some daring explorers will not go deep into the depths of the swamp to find out.

Copernicus took off his glasses and wiped off the mist with the hem of his t-shirt.He regretted not going home to bring his custom-made anti-fog glasses.

But when he thought about the nagging of his family, he felt that his parents' nagging might be more terrifying than these legends.

After graduating, Copernicus did not follow his father's wishes to work in an investment bank, but became an explorer of mysterious events, specializing in finding all kinds of strange things that appeared in England.

He interviewed an old man named Dirk in a coastal pub in southern England.

The old man showed him a tattered dry air mattress, saying that in [-], a dirty flying lizard pierced his air mattress.

Although the old man named Deke insisted that this incident was true, no one else had relevant memories.

And Dirk's swearing appearance made Copernicus feel that this matter was not that simple.

After that, he went to Loch Ness in the northern part of the Scottish Highlands, trying to photograph the true face of the Loch Ness monster, but he also encountered a similar thing.

During the few days of staying in Loch Ness, an unimaginable thing happened: he woke up from the shore drenched, and the recording pen he carried with him contained a complete description of the water monster. Here, the sound of entanglement after encountering a water monster.

But there was no memory left in his mind, as if the memory had been erased.

Even if he made a special trip to North America for special psychological counseling and tried to restore his memory, he still couldn't recall what happened that day.

However, these strange things did not make him give up this hobby, but instead made him more fanatical.

Because he remembered that his grandfather once told him that when his grandfather participated in the construction of Charing Cross Road, he found a blank area in the design plan. After going to the site for field inspection, he found that the blank area just disappeared. .

Therefore, Copernicus had reason to believe that the world was not complete, and some parts of it were hidden and could not be known by ordinary people.

And his pursuit in this life is to be able to find out that hidden world one day and make it public so that his parents can recognize his work.

After the heavy rain, the fog became thicker, and the surrounding visibility became lower and lower. Only the rumble of the diesel engine in the cargo compartment of his beloved pickup truck could provide some comfort to his throbbing heart.

Now that he is ready, the lifejacket and kayak have been checked repeatedly to ensure that they are normal, and then a lock is buckled into the hoop on the kayak. This is his last guarantee.

In addition to the regular and noisy roar of the diesel generator, the pickup's cargo bed also has a custom-made traction device, which is connected to a wireless controller he sewed into the glove.

In case of an accident, he only needs to hold his fist and trigger the controller inside, and the traction device can pull him back to the shore through the steel cable, which is also his last safety guarantee.

Copernicus dried the moisture from his hair with a towel, put on the prepared headlamp, turned over the kayak, and started paddling the paddles, heading towards the depths of the swamp.

The meadow in the swamp is very dense, and the shadows are intertwined in the mist, as if they are all monsters lying in ambush at the bottom of the swamp, carefully camouflaged, and ready to eat at any time.

He did his homework before coming here. There will be some noises in the swamp. These sounds usually come from amphibians such as water snakes living in the swamp. If you hear the sound of thumping, then it is some birds living nearby The sound of taking off.

In fact, he just didn't want to be so afraid of himself, even though he enjoyed this feeling very much now. Stimulation, anxiety, fear, several kinds of feelings appeared in his mind at the same time, which made him feel extremely excited.

Snapped!

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.Accompanied by the gust of wind was a soft sound.

The colleague who appeared in the light sound, the kayak in motion sank inexplicably.

Copernicus felt that his heart missed half a beat, his mouth became dry instantly, and his right eyelid also began to beat.

coming?

He felt as if the mute button had been pressed around him, and it became extremely quiet. It seemed that even the faint roar of the generator that could be heard on the bank of the swamp had completely disappeared.

There is still some distance from the center of the swamp, and those explorers have not mentioned that strange things will happen in this place.

Could it be that he is so unlucky?Haven't even reached the center yet, and you've been attacked?

Thinking of this, Copernicus immediately began to force himself to calm down.

The humid air around has the thick earthy smell unique to swamps, and that's all...

There is no rancid smell, no fishy smell, and no strange smell that monsters may emit...

Perhaps a daring wetland waterfowl landed on the kayak?

After all, there was only a gust of wind and a soft noise just now, which might be the sound of a water bird retracting its wings.

Copernicus comforted himself in this way, and after fixing the oars, he slowly turned the kayak back with his hands.

Because he had heard a legend that a werewolf would bite off the neck of someone looking back, so he pressed his other hand firmly on his neck.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

He seemed to be able to feel his skin colliding with every water molecule floating in the air. This simple movement of turning around and turning his head seemed to take as long as a century.

"What are you afraid of?"

At the same time as the sound appeared, the control of all the buttons was released at once, and the world returned to normal.

Copernicus felt that the soul that almost left his body returned to him, and when he turned around, he saw an unknown person.

In the dim environment, he could vaguely see that this was a young man with short black hair and long-sleeved casual clothes. What caught his attention most was the pair of black eyes that seemed to glisten, with a deep and indescribable magic power.

"I'm afraid of you! You scared me to death! I thought I met a monster!"

As Copernicus said this, he suddenly felt his mouth dry up again.

This is not right!

There should be only his kayak around, so where did this boy appear from?

For an instant, information about the Swamp Killer appeared in his mind.

Most of those killed by the pair of swamp killers were minors, and the oldest was only 13 years old, about the same age as the boy they met now!
