Chapter 118: The Secret of the Soul
The first thing that came to Allen's mind was the Requirement Room, and Alan was already very good at going to the Requirement Room to do what he wanted to do.
With the thought that "I need a comfortable, quiet place to read", Alan walked three times on the eighth floor of the castle, in front of the tapestry of the troll stick beating the stupid Panama. Then, a door suddenly appeared in front of Allen.
Walking inside, the Room of Requirement is transformed into a forest book house, a breathing reading space: greenery is spread throughout the space, and you can see different trees, flowers and landscape pieces. Alan is very suspicious that the designer has moved a corner of the Forbidden Forest into the Room of Requirement!
A bookshelf in the shape of a giant green tree is filled with books. Alan pulled out a book at random, and the name on the cover turned out to be "Merlin Loves Me"!
Alan flipped through it casually, and stuffed the book back on the shelf with a smile, this is a fantasy romance novel written by a boring wizard, very avant-garde and trendy!
The undying Alan walked to another branch in the opposite direction and pulled out a book, "Cold Steel".
Turning a page casually, rows of poems broke into Allen's eyes:
Heaven is always imprisoned in our afflictions,
Hell is lost in our paradise.
......
The three devils weren't supposed to die like that,
You've seen my callouts,
My friend
We'll see you again!
It's a book of poetry!Alan shook his head and tucked the book back into the shelf, giving up on the idea of hunting for treasure here. Let's finish reading "The Secret of the Soul" first!
Holding the book, Alan looked away from the shelf, looking for a suitable place to read. I saw rattan round cushions scattered on the dense and soft grass, and there was actually a white rattan swing by the wall on the right!
If that doesn't satisfy you, on the left side of the wooden floor, where the grass is tread, there are extremely comfortable leather armchairs and a large reading table. Above them, round crystal lamps cast a modest soft light.
Next to the table, there was an old-fashioned bronze trumpet-shaped gramophone, and some records were neatly stacked aside. All this creates a quiet and comfortable environment for Alan to read.
"The fly in the ointment is that there is no coffee, otherwise it would be more emotional!" Rolling his eyes, Alan pulled out a pot of Ceylon black tea from his Ravenclaw tower.
Then, Alan sat comfortably in a leather armchair and spread out The Secret of the Soul on the reading table.
In an instant, a terrible, eerie scream pierced the peaceful silence - the book was screaming!
Alan slammed it shut, but the screaming didn't stop, it was a high-pitched, continuous, deafening tone.
"Silence!" Alan drew his wand, casting the spell at an astonishing speed. The book was like someone grabbed by the throat, and the poignant voice came to an abrupt end. But his arm hit the tea bowl on the table, and the tea splashed and soaked Allen's cuffs.
As soon as Eren's thought moved, the Miaomiao wizard's robe was automatically cleaned and dried. Taking a sip of tea, Alan felt that he should think of what he should think, since this book was placed in the forbidden book area, there was naturally a reason why it was banned!
Mentally prepared, Alan gently turned the pages of the book. With the blessing of a powerful silent spell, Alan's ears are no longer abused.
Alan calmly read the text and pictures in the book, and in it, Alan found a way to make a Horcrux. After reading carefully, Alan was disappointed to find that in the book, there was no more to introduce than Alan knew.
After briefly flipping through the books, Alan found that, in addition to this, the books also introduced such knowledge as "the second soul", "the salvation of the soul", "where life comes from and where death goes". Interestingly, much of the knowledge and the idealistic philosophy of the Muggle world have something in common.
In addition to this, the book is also very literary. After the author introduced the dark magic about the soul, there was actually Yaxing to write a few comments.
For example, in the chapter "Horcrux Making", the author writes:
Alcohol is best at confusing people,
Death is the most dramatic.
Immortal trampled on the brink of death,
The withered lives wept one after another.
Hatred rejects God's righteousness,
But the darkness has forgotten everything
......
It wasn't until his stomach rumbled that Alan realized that he had been so absorbed in his book that he had missed dinner!
This book must have a suggestive and hypnotic effect on the soul, making people unconsciously addicted to it! Alan was secretly frightened and raised his vigilance against this book.
Alan took out some snacks from Mrs. Harris from the system's storage compartment and filled his stomach with black tea. Then, he threw "The Secret of the Soul" into the storage space and hurried back to the dormitory.
Edward, the "Awakening Lord", lived up to his name and had already fallen asleep. After washing, Alan also slipped himself into the soft bed, leaving all thoughts behind and falling asleep.
However, this night, Eren did not have a good night, and the Muggles who were tortured to the point of incompleteness, the weeping and weeping magical creatures that were worse than death, the strange soul fragments, and the terrible, high-pitched screams...... These voices were visualized into terrifying dreams, which devoured Alan mercilessly.
And with Allen's mental power, he knew that it was a dream, but he couldn't get rid of it. At this time, a sentence in the book came to Allen's mind, "If you can't look up at the starry sky and embrace the light, please plunge into the boundless darkness with me!"
Suddenly, a clear stream flowed from my mind to my heart, and all the confinements collapsed in an instant, turning into snowflake-shaped fragments, flying and dissipating, and the dream was without a trace.
"Warning! Warning! The host's mental power is abnormal, and there is an invasion of an unknown conscious body!" The warm and sweet voice of the school flower turned into a mechanical and sharp system sound, but Alan did not feel disgusted at all, but was full of gratitude - it was the system that pulled him out of the boundless nightmare, otherwise he would not know how long he would have to sink in the terrible pictures of collapse one after another, in the tragic experiences of different creatures!
However, what does it mean that the system says that there is an invasion of an unknown conscious body? Will everyone who reads this book be invaded by the conscious body, or will they meet the conditions of the invaded person screened by the conscious body?
In this regard, Alan prefers the latter, otherwise, if strong people like Professor Dumbledore and Percival Graves had read this book, the world would have been plunged into war if they had been eroded by the dark forces!
