Because the scene at this time was not right, Hermione could only suppress her anger again.

She glared at Ron and then analyzed, "It seems we need to catch the key and then insert it into the keyhole of this door."

"Key? There are countless keys here; how can we distinguish them?"

Harry looked at the keyhole, frowning and asking hesitantly.

Darren immediately said, "Someone must have come in just now, so that key should have been caught before... Look!"

He looked up and pointed to one of the keys.

Harry saw that key among the countless keys.

It was a silver key with drooping wings, as if it had been roughly grabbed and stuffed into the keyhole.

"Darren is really smart!"

Hermione said with admiration.

Darren shook his head somewhat embarrassedly, looking particularly shy.

"Oh, Darren, you can't be like this. When girls tease you, if you are like this, they will tease you endlessly, which is particularly annoying.

You should learn from me, argue with them, argue until they cry or argue back with you, this way..."

Ron said excitedly.

The rest of his words were directly ignored by Darren. Learn from you, the secret to staying single?

No, he just liked the feeling of being teased by girls. Ron didn't understand at all what kind of happiness that was! Darren shook his head and didn't think about those things.

He looked at Harry getting on the broomstick with a nervous expression and quickly said, "Brother, let me do it!"

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +50]

"Alright, let me do it. Brother will be fine!"

Harry liked this kind of activity very much. Although this was the school's broken broomstick, he still rode it happily.

After some searching, he found the target. Finally.

Harry took down that key.

He stuffed the key into the keyhole with force and then rushed into the room with Darren and the others.

The door closed instantly.

They felt that if they were one step slower, they might have been stabbed into a honeycomb by these keys.

"Oh my god!"

Just as Harry was still feeling lingering fear, Hermione's exclamation pulled back his thoughts.

He turned his head to look.

This was a huge chessboard. Huge chess pieces stood on it. Black and white pieces stood opposite each other. What should they do? They looked at Darren.

Darren thought for a while, then used Obscurus and rushed over crazily. He charged through, and after smashing many chess pieces, he ran across this chessboard.

He then pretended to be panting and said, "A bit difficult. I'll go over now and bring you guys over!"

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100] [Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +80]

"No, no, no, Darren, you just stand there!"

"Yeah, you alone can't bring us all out!"

"These chess pieces will recover quickly. You might be beaten to death by them. You just stand there!"

Harry and the others refused Darren's proposal in a jumble.

Darren was always simple. If they agreed, they were worried Darren would use his life to send them over.

Better forget it.

"We might have to play chess to get past."

Ron looked around and said with admiration, "It's not that I'm talking about you guys, it's just that your chess skills are not very good... let me do it!"

[Ding, detected a scene where the Saintly Father System can be utilized. Now issuing a temporary task:

When Ron is about to sacrifice himself, the host should stand in front of Ron at the last second and push him out, saying:

Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine!]

[Ding, after completing the task, obtain the reward Fire Resistance. Does the host accept the task?]

Fire Resistance? That's quite powerful!

Speaking of which, it seems the last level has fire. The system wouldn't have prepared it for him in advance, would it?

It really was his thoughtful system. [Accept] Darren chose to accept. Then he looked at Ron.

As time passed, the sweat on Ron's face became more and more. Finally, when there were only two steps left, Ron said, "This is the only way... I will be eaten... and then you can checkmate the King, Harry!"

His eyes were firm; clearly, he was prepared to die. Darren didn't speak; he was staring tightly at Ron's position.

It wasn't far. If he used Obscurus, he could jump over directly without triggering other chess pieces.

He was playing the Saintly Father, but he couldn't hold them back.

If he triggered other chess pieces and caused Ron's efforts to be ruined, his character might collapse.

So, when Ron stepped forward, ready to be "eaten," Darren suddenly ran to Ron and pushed Ron out of the chessboard.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Fire Resistance]

Fire Resistance: Any fire will not cause any harm to the host. Beautiful!

Darren almost laughed out loud.

For the sake of the character, he managed to hold it in.

Ron looked at Darren in astonishment. How did he get from there to here in one go?

However, he still shouted loudly: Be careful!

The White Queen's stone arm smashed fiercely toward Darren's head, and Darren raised his fist to meet her.

With a boom. The White Queen shattered into pieces.

"Brother, hurry!"

After the White Queen shattered into pieces, Darren sat on the ground, looking at Harry with a pale face.

"Darren!"

Harry called out with worry, even wanting to rush over. But his calmness stopped him.

Harry moved three steps to the left.

He looked at the White King with trepidation.

The White King took off the crown on his head and threw it at Harry's feet... They won!

All the chess pieces gave way for them one after another; they could now walk freely on the chessboard.

Harry quickly ran to Darren. Only then did he notice that Darren's back was covered in cold sweat.

"Darren, how are you now?"

Harry asked with worry, and he even felt Darren's body trembling. Why was he so stupid?

Clearly, he was also scared to death, but why was he always so self-sacrificing?

Harry thought with sadness and admiration.

He actually hoped more that Darren could be safe and sound, rather than always standing in front of others.
