Chapter 207: Yin Corpse in the Lake

Hearing Kreacher's words, Sirius rushed forward.

Looking at him, it seems that he wants to rush into the lake to find Regulus's body.

"Don't, Sirius!"

Looking at Sirius, Harry and Hermione screamed, but Dumbledore stopped him at the last moment.

"Let go of me!" Sirius gasped, "I'm going to find Regulus. ”

"I can understand your feelings, Sirius, but we have to be careful. Dumbledore whispered, "This black lake is very dangerous, and you've heard Kreacher's descriptions and know what lies inside. In addition to the Yin Corps, there are also these lakes."

"I'm not afraid of danger, and I'm not afraid of corpses!"

"I know, but you didn't do Regulus any help by rushing straight into the lake, you were doing it a disservice. ”

Sirius was silent, and gradually calmed down.

"Very well, let's move on, Kreacher just mentioned the island in the center of the lake, and the stone altar that was originally used to store Horcruxes, I want to go there first. Dumbledore continued, "You guys follow me, remember, don't step into the water. ”

He walked around the shore of the lake, Aven and the others following him closely.

Their footsteps echoed as they stepped on the narrow rocks of the lake.

As they went, time passed, but the scene around them remained the same: the rough walls of the cave on one side, and the boundless, mirror-smooth black lake on the other, with a mysterious green light shining in the center of the lake.

No one spoke, and the place, and the silence, was oppressive and unsettling.

Evan had been looking into the lake, the pitch-black water was as bright and smooth as black glass, and although he couldn't see anything, he knew that below the calm surface of the lake, countless hideous corpses were looking at them just as quietly.

"How long are we going to go like this?" said the little wolf, his voice echoing loudly in the silent darkness.

"There was a big boat that could take us to the center of the lake, but Kreacher couldn't remember where it was. Kreacher shuddered, punishing himself by tugging at his ears.

"Don't worry, we'll find it. Dumbledore stopped Kreacher.

"I don't understand why I have to go up to the island in the middle of the lake and go straight into the lake to find Regulus."

"Unless we're unlucky!" said Dumbledore, "you can try, Sirius, and don't touch those lakes with your hands, use magic or throw something into them, and see what happens." ”

The little wolf picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake.

With a loud noise, countless pairs of hands as dead as marble stretched out from the calm lake.

These hands appeared suddenly, without warning, as if they were coming from hell.

A second later, the lake boiled instantly, and the hands of the dead bodies covered the entire surface of the lake.

They struggled and twisted, as if they were trying to catch something in the air.

Seeing this, Hermione screamed and grabbed Evan's right arm tightly.

Evan also took a step back, looking at the crazy lake with palpitations, although he was prepared, his heart was still pounding.

Sirius and Harry's faces were similarly bad, and they stared at the lake in a daze, the number of corpses in front of them completely exceeded their imagination.

After a few seconds, the corpses and ripples vanished completely, at an uncanny speed, as if they had never existed. And the stone that Sirius threw into it also disappeared completely, not sinking to the bottom of the Dao Lake, but being decomposed and dissipated by force.

"Professor!" Harry shouted, his voice sounding much sharper than usual, almost not like his own.

"You see, it's not the right way to wake them up. Dumbledore said calmly, "There are too many corpses to wipe them all out, and we must find the place where Regulus was dragged into the water." ”

"What are we going to do if they rush out?"

"Like many creatures that dwell in cold and darkness, they are afraid of light and warmth, and we can use fire if we need to. Dumbledore said calmly, "The light and warmth that fire brings can effectively restrain them!"

"But," Harry still had horror written all over his face.

"You must know that there is nothing to be afraid of the dead, just as there is nothing to be afraid of in the darkness. Dumbledore stared at the dark lake, "Voldemort didn't think so, and judging from the situation here, he must be secretly afraid of these two things." In this matter, he once again exposed his lack of wisdom. When we face death and darkness, we are afraid of nothing but the unknown. ”

No one has expressed an opinion on Dumbledore's opinion, and no one has argued.

It could be seen from their expressions that everyone did not agree with what Dumbledore said. The thought of the huge lake in front of them filled with dead bodies made them feel terrified.

Perhaps only a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore was qualified to say this, and he was fearless about everything, even death.

Evan struggled to recall the information he had just read about the Undercaster from the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Magic": the creation of the Undercaster was not the traditional magic of the British wizarding world, but came from the evil witchcraft of some parts of Africa, where the local wizards turned the "cursed resurrected corpse" into a "terrible puppet" servant who could be manipulated.

In those tribal traditions, the Yin Corps was considered a warrior or guard of the dead who did not care about their own safety.

They have many uses and are also easily recognized and respected by other tribesmen.

Only the corpses of those who have made great contributions to the tribe are eligible to be made into Yin corpses and continue to guard the tribe after death, which is the supreme glory.

When this witchcraft spread to Europe, after centuries of development and change, it was gradually transformed by dark wizards into what it is now, becoming a pure black magic.

Compared to African witchcraft, these Yin Corpses made by dark wizards may be slightly weaker individually, but they are simpler and equally fearless, and are considered one of the most evil forms of black magic.

To make a Yin corpse, it is necessary to use a corpse that has just died, and judging from the area of the huge lake in front of you, there are a large number of Yin corpses inside.

Evan didn't know how Voldemort found the corpses, which meant slaughter.

The corpses were dressed in normal Muggle style, and it was likely that they were killed by Voldemort and other Death Eaters during Voldemort's rise. (To be continued.) )
