Chapter 584: Final Discovery
PS: I'm sorry that this ending dragged on for too long due to personal reasons.
-------------------------
Faced with the invitations of various interests in the wizarding world, Darren decided not to respond for the time being, fortunately, when he was with Hermione last night, he had already communicated, and knew that now as Harry's closest stakeholders, the Weasley family has not made any statement, so he can use this to excuse himself, in fact, this delay is largely due to him, on the one hand, waiting for the news of the Coral Spiral search, on the other hand, it is necessary to coordinate with him, after all, it is also a very important member of this interest system, so important that Hermione cannot be replaced, just like Mrs. Weasley has the final say in everything at home, but he couldn't decide anything for Mr. Weasley at the Ministry of Magic.
In addition to those invitations, Darren simply dealt with the affairs of the group during this period of time, and then went to the "Magic Research Center" again to learn about Duo Ling's situation, after all, he brought the person, no matter how he had to explain to Hu Jianjun and others, in fact, he was not too worried about the final result, because even if he couldn't make Duo Ling wake up, it was still easy to ensure that there were no problems with his body, after all, for this kind of thing, potions are much better than modern potions in chaos.
"After our examination, this girl's condition is very special, there is no magic reaction found on her body, which means that she is not under a spell," as usual, Snape came to receive Darren, "As for potions, we have not found any known ingredients of potions and poisons, but in terms of symptoms, there is something very peculiar. β
"A very special place?"
"Yes, do you remember Regulus?"
"Oh, of course, but could it be that Doling would be like that?"
"Don't worry, no," Snape glanced at Darren, "The potion that Regulus drank will not only allow him to move his body after death, but on the other hand, it will also protect his body from decay and damage, while maintaining its basic self-healing ability, otherwise, after so many years of soaking in the lake, even the iron will rust." β
"But," Snape frowned as he turned his head to Doling lying on the hospital bed, "and what she had in her was the complete opposite. β
"The opposite?"
"Yes, judging from the results of the magic test and the poison test, this girl's body is completely fine, everything is normal. β
"Is this called everything normal?" Listening to Snape's words, Darren said that it was incomprehensible, this Duo Ling had been unconscious, and her body was fast, no, it was already stinking, and when he arrived at the "Magic Research Center", he thought it was a corpse, he went to Southeast Asia, and he contracted some special fetishes...... Fortunately, wizards have potions to deal with all kinds of strange things, so there is no smell, but, how can a living person, a normal living person stink?!
Looking at Darren's skeptical expression, Snape said unhurriedly, "Of course, this depends on what your 'normal' standard is. β
"Standard?"
"This little girl's body, from the point of view of a living person, is quite dangerous, but what is her current state?"
Snape's current performance, Darren feels as if he is back to the situation when he took Potions class, it seems that the other party's habit has not changed, and he deserves to be a professor, but this is normal in the Magic Research Center, because there are a lot of professors from Hogwarts in it, and there is no vacancy, how can he stuff people......
"What state ......" I heard that Doling was hit by the head, Darren felt that this was a special kind of magic, so he didn't check it seriously at all, speaking of which, now he is far less interested than before, if he can get in touch with this kind of thing when he is still at Hogwarts, he will definitely try his best to figure out what is going on, and then go down to Voldemort, or Harry, doesn't it mean death......
Looking at Duo Ling, who was still unconscious, Darren unfolded his magic power, carefully sensing the other party's body, and found no changes, except for relying on magic potions to stop the symptoms of corruption...... Wait, corruption?!
Only the dead, as well as the inactive body tissues of the living, will rot, Doling is still alive, and she has no signs of sepsis and poisoning, how can this be?!
"She looks alive, but on a soul level, she's dead," Snape said in his characteristic voice.
"The soul plane is dead?" Darren was taken aback, but then became confused, "What do you mean 'the soul plane is dead'?"
"It's about death and souls, and it seems like you've not worked as hard as you did in school all these years," Snape glanced at Darren out of the corner of his eye, "I think you know that, in general, the soul and the body correspond to each other, and it is only when the body dies that the soul is faced with the choice of leaving or staying." β
Darren nodded, because Harry's resurrection stone was in the magic research center, and the power in it had already been studied enough, but it was safe, and when people knew its true effect, naturally no one thought that it could be used to resurrect the dead.
"Earlier I said that what she had in her was the opposite of Voldemort's potion because it made the girl's soul think that she was dead, even if she was alive, and it was because of this that her body showed such symptoms. β
"That's why she's always unconscious, and she still has corpse spots and corpse stench?" Darren looked at Doreen.
"Yes, because that's what the dead should look like. β
"So, is there a way to lift it?"
Snape sighed and shook his head, "We've found the cause of her body's problems, but it's not clear exactly how they affect her soul directly. β
"Soul impact?" Darren thought for a moment, "Aren't there a lot of black ...... Oh, can magic have this effect?" he had to reset the wizarding world's classification of magic, and he couldn't change it back.
"Yes, but those spells are very different from this," Snape explained, and now the Magic Research Center has gathered the magic data of the whole country, although there are certainly still fish that have slipped through the net, but the "cheats" of each family correspond to each other, so that the effect of checking and filling in the gaps and learning from each other's strengths is absolutely "explosive", which is also the reason why Darren was able to successfully dig up many masters, and after this incident, the other party also realized the meaning of his "change", not to mention that many of them once thought it was a "new invention" It turns out that someone has made it 800 years ago (correct), and this one thing alone is enough to make people feel heartbroken......
"So far, the similar soul magic we have been exposed to has only had an effect on one aspect of the soul, but this one is all-encompassing, and the effect is continuous. β
"Continuous," Darren frowned, "can't you use a soul spell?"
"It is a very dangerous thing to have an effect on the soul through magic, because the soul is a very wonderful thing," Snape thought for a moment, "Magical items, in a sense, are delicate and changeable, and previous spells can only be changed to a certain extent. β
"So, how did this head bow do this?"
"Then I'm afraid you're going to ask for a 'stone axe,' and according to your description, we don't even know how it gets to the human body. β
After listening to Snape's introduction, Darren knew that there was probably no way to drop Duo Ling here, so he could only wait for Hu Jianjun's news to see if there was any other way, and after chatting a little more, he asked casually, "How did you find out that Duo Ling had a soul problem?"
"For that, it's a good thing you sent her here, otherwise, no one would ever find out. β
"Why?!"
"Because, now all the wizards in the UK who can 'take the mind of the gods' are all in the Ministry of Magic and here, and the one who is most sensitive to the abnormal sense of the soul is the 'mind of the gods'. β
Although he can, it is his personal experience of "Regent Remembrance" that makes Darren know the power of this magic, so after the situation is under control, he uses the name of "Lord Voldemort", the master of "Regent Remembrance", to try to get the Ministry of Magic to pass a targeted bill to strictly control it.
Under the terms of the Act, the Dementors, like the Animagus, must be reported to the Ministry of Magic, and anyone who deliberately conceals them will be punished in Azkaban, and will face life imprisonment or a complete renunciation of magic if they are found to have violated the rules......
Even if the report is passed, the wizard who has mastered the "Regent Thoughts" can only be used if he becomes an Auror, and it is illegal to use it under any other circumstances, and not only that, except for being an Auror, every wizard who can "Regent the Mind" must indicate to the other party that he will "Regent the Mind" before it comes to negotiations and exchanges involving interests with the other party!
Therefore, now for a wizard, "Regent Mind" is a very troublesome skill, if it is not for some extent this is a skill similar to bloodline, I am afraid it will disappear in a short time, of course, the trouble is only relative, anyway, Darren himself is a monopoly business, the other party has no other choice, but this also saves a lot of time, both sides only need to clarify their interest rate, and then take an acceptable median value, especially time-saving......
Darren didn't hear Snape's displeasure, this guy was even more proficient than himself, and of course it was within the scope of the bill, "So you noticed Doling's anomaly?"
"There is always a difference between the living and the dead, and of course, it has to be examined very carefully, after all, her soul just 'thinks she is dead'. Darren nodded in agreement, he didn't find out anyway, of course, he didn't care, is it old......
In addition, for ordinary people, the situation of a soul like her treating herself as a corpse is naturally very difficult to deal with, because this is not a corpse, but the phenomenon that manifests itself is like a corpse, but it is not a problem for wizards at all, it is nothing more than a spell and a potion.
Duo Ling was lying down peacefully, and it was also convenient for Darren to contact Shirley Yang, and the current situation was much better than when he was on Coral Temple Island, except that he was always unconscious, no different from ordinary people, this news made Hu Jianjun and others feel a lot more relieved, and told him that they had inquired about the way to lift the corpse, what it was said to be a "corpse pill", the "Danding" that was born from the ancient corpse, but it took time to find it, but fortunately, now Duo Ling's situation is not in a hurry, and he will talk about it slowly.
Leaving these things aside, it wasn't long before Harry's news came out in an unbelievable way......
"Mr. Zur," Darren said, looking at the middle-aged man across from him, "can you talk about your article about Mr. Hank?"
"Oh, that article," he replied, looking at the menu and choosing oneself, "it was a patient sent by the police, and he described a companion he had imagined, or so he thought, a corpse, but more versatile than a Swiss army knife, can you believe it?"
"Can you talk about the specifics? I'm not talking about the patient, it's about him, a fantasy plot. β
"Oh, you're interested in that, want to get some inspiration from it?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Well, as I said in the article, the patient imagined a corpse to act as his companion on a lonely island, and he could sing and dance, and he could chop wood, and fart from time to time, but that was impossible, oh, you probably don't know, first of all, after a person dies, it begins to be decomposed by microorganisms inside and outside the body, and many of these bacteria produce gas. If the conditions are right, the corpse will slowly accumulate gas as the decay progresses, enough to form a certain pressure, and the accumulated air pressure will always look for an exit everywhere, and those natural body cavity openings are the weak points of air tightness, and they are naturally the primary breakthrough targets. β
"For example, the contents of the stomach may be pushed out of the esophagus by air pressure, causing 'vomiting after death', as for the 'fart' of the corpse? It's not impossible for the sphincter to fart out, but as the patient said, the thrust is big enough to be used as a jet ski, which is really magical, you must know that the horsepower of the motorboat that can fly starts at more than 100 horsepower, what is the concept of one or two hundred horsepower? and the same gear as the devastating excavator!"
"Also, according to the description, when the corpse looks at the beautiful woman in the magazine, oh, although it is weird, but it is true that the corpse is reading the magazine, it reacts, but, in the case of the heart not beating and the blood not flowing, this is impossible in terms of power! When the center feels that some organs are going to get up to work, the internal arterial vascular smooth muscle will begin to relax under the signal of the nerve, and the vascular resistance will be reduced, and the blood will pour into the cavernous body, increasing the internal pressure, and the expanding cavernous body will compress its internal and surrounding venous sinuses, which will hinder the blood flow from the inside, resulting in a further increase in internal pressure, further expansion of the volume, and the compression and occlusion effect on the veins will be more significant, so as to form a positive circulation until it reaches a completely firm stateγ β
"Previous perfusion experiments on human corpses have shown that to achieve this, the perfusion pressure must reach at least 85~100 mm Hg, and the final pressure inside it is even higher than the aortic systolic pressure, so without the heart beating to provide blood pressure, it is impossible to react, unless there is magic, or that kind of biochemical zombie, isn't it?"
Darren laughed dryly, but his vest was already in a cold sweat......
"And after death, the body will gradually become stiff, because of energy exhaustion, metabolic waste accumulation, etc., the human muscles begin to harden in batches a few minutes after death. The inability to move, resulting in the joints being locked, and the time it takes for the corpse to reach a completely stiff and straight state varies greatly from case to case, from a few hours to dozens of hours, after which the mortis will gradually be lifted, because the muscle cells will gradually decompose and decay, causing the joints to relax, so the zombie will begin to loosen, however, the guy said that the corpse is strong enough to be used as a flint, The use of axes and shotguns, such an unscientific situation, in addition to being a schizophrenic fantasy, unless it can really only be understood as a miracle of magic, don't you say?"
ββ¦β¦β
Although there was only this news in the end, when Darren saw that person, he knew that the other party was not lying, and he was not hallucinating, which means that Harry's final whereabouts can finally be determined!
But even though Harry is gone, this wizarding world will continue, and so will Darren's life here, not only him, but also his family, everything here......!
