HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 168 Entering a Dormant State

Holding Draco, I slowly descended. As our feet touched the ground, I severed the bloodline of the divine beast White Tiger and returned to my original form.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back.” I reached out to take Draco’s hand, but for some reason I hesitated for a moment. In the end, I raised my hand and took Draco’s hand, leading him toward Hogwarts Castle.

“Ayers.” Draco didn’t know why, but he felt a strange sensation in his heart. He sensed that Ayers, who was walking ahead of him, seemed to be acting strangely.

"Hmm." I just responded quietly, cast a 'Confusion Charm' on the two of us, and walked ahead of Draco, leading him back to the Slytherin common room.

At the same time, each of the people they were trying to woo felt something was off, as if something had happened that made them unhappy.

"Ayers, aren't you going back?" Draco followed me back to the Slytherin common room. When I suddenly stopped, Draco felt for some reason that there was something off about the atmosphere between us.

"Draco, I think I left something in the Forbidden Forest. Why don't you go back first?" I let go of Draco's hand and said to him with a smile.

"Do you need me to go back with you to look for it?" Draco didn't know what was wrong with him; he felt that his emotions were very strange.

"No need, you go back first. I probably won't be going back to the dorm tonight." The sadness of being rejected by Draco felt endless in my heart, but I didn't want to do anything bad to Draco. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Ayers, are you really alright?" Draco reached out to take my hand, but I unconsciously dodged it.

We both paused for a moment. I didn't want him to touch my clenched fist, as if I had clenched it too tightly, my nails digging into my flesh. I didn't want Draco to know.

Draco was surprised by my dodge; he hadn't expected me to avoid his touch.

"My hands are cold, you should go back first. I might still have some things to take care of." I'm starting to feel like escaping this Slytherin common room.

"Alright then." Draco felt that since I had just rejected his confession, it was normal for me to flinch at his touch.

"Go back to sleep early, it's already very late." I gently stroked his platinum-colored head with my other hand.

"Okay, I'm going back now. Goodnight." Draco turned around and left for his dorm room under my watchful gaze.

Draco didn't turn around to look at me. I stood there with a gloomy expression, and only turned and left when Draco was completely out of sight.

By now, the patrolling professors and deans should have returned to their dormitories to rest.

I leisurely made my way to the entrance of that secret room again.

"Open (Parseltongue)" As I watched the sink in front of me open, I cast a levitation spell on myself and slowly descended into the hole. Because of the previous incident where Severus discovered me, this time I said "Close (Parseltongue)" to the hole as I went in.

Then I closed my eyes and let my body sink into the abyss of darkness. When I finally put my feet on solid ground, I had already put away the gold-rimmed glasses I was wearing.

Its golden eyes were very conspicuous in the darkness, making it look like a wild beast lurking in the shadows.

They were waiting for their chance to strike, as if they were waiting for some prey.

'Crunch, crunch' As I walked, the rubble on the ground and the bones that the snake monsters had eaten were crushed little by little by my footsteps.

[Jin: Beep beep beep—Host has reached 30% loss of control. Please control your emotions as soon as possible.]

[Night: Beep beep beep—Host's tyranny level detected at 30%. Please control your emotions as soon as possible.]

(I'm in control)

I discovered in my past life that I was a very emotional person. I was either completely carefree or caught in an emotional storm, where even the slightest unpleasant feeling would be amplified infinitely.

I walked step by step into the depths of the cave, to a huge door with strange snake symbols and markings carved on it.

"Open (Snake Language)" This is the third time I've been to this secret room; I know it like the back of my hand.

The door slowly opened, and a musty smell wafted out.

Upon entering the secret room, I saw a huge space.

Upon entering the secret room, the first thing you see is a narrow passageway.

The walls of the passageway shimmered with green light, as if the eyes of a snake were watching me.

I glanced at those eyes with displeasure; the snakes' eyes seemed to be avoiding my gaze.

The passageway was covered with black stone slabs, which were engraved with strange patterns and symbols that gave people the creeps.

Walking along the passage, I came to a huge cave.

Hanging from the cave ceiling are some huge stalactites, which shimmer with a green light, as if snake venom is flowing.

The cave floor was covered with black stone slabs, which were engraved with strange patterns and symbols that gave people the creeps.

In the center of the cave stands a huge statue.

The statue depicts Salazar Slytherin, holding a wand whose tip glows with a green light.

The statue was surrounded by some huge snakes whose bodies shimmered with green light, as if they were guarding the statue of Salazar Slytherin.

Behind the statue is a huge stone gate.

The stone gate is engraved with the Slytherin symbol—a snake—along with some mysterious runes and spells.

Only those with Slytherin blood can open this door.

"Come out (in parsnip)." As soon as I said this, the enormous basilisk obediently slid out from the darkness.

Compared to its master, the aura emanating from this master's companion was far more terrifying.

"Can you curl up into a ball (snake language)?" I didn't call the snake out to bully it; I just wanted it to curl up so I could lie down. I wanted to process my unhappiness on my own. I know I'm going through an emotional storm, and I won't bother others. I prefer to process things on my own.

What I didn't know was that, due to my loss of control and tyranny, all the potential targets outside suddenly sensed that something might be wrong with me and started looking for me.

And I never expected that I would fall into a deep sleep; I had only intended to take a nap.

[Gold: Ding—Host system upgrade detected. Entering hibernation mode.]

[Night: Ding—Host detected to be in a self-evolutionary state, entering hibernation]

While I was asleep, I didn't notice the different changes occurring in the two systems. The sugar daddy wanted the system to be upgraded, while the night was making me evolve.
