Chapter 33: Disappearance
Coming to this desolate world from the whirlpool again, the previous black bird has disappeared, after careful observation for a while, Bernard carefully came to the front of those feathers and carefully observed, and the previous feeling is the same, in Bernard's perception, there is still nothing in front of him, but he did really see these feathers, Bernard, who suffered from nothing at hand, finally helplessly picked up one of the feathers with his hand, and this time the matter is bigger!
Bernard definitely didn't expect that looking at a fluttering feather would be so heavy, just now, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a soul state now, he would definitely flash to his waist, but that's it, at that moment just now, Bernard also had a feeling of falling into the abyss, carefully looking at the feathers in his hand, Bernard was very curious about their form, whether this is an entity or a soul state, but unfortunately he can't experiment now.
Carefully looked at a few other feathers on the ground, the painful Bernard still firmly stretched out his hand, but unfortunately there is no one now, otherwise he will definitely laugh off his big teeth, the usually well-dressed Bernard is now holding a few small feathers with a painful face, and then squeezed out of the whirlpool with difficulty, just now, when passing through the whirlpool, Bernard clearly felt a sense of rejection that seemed to be nothing, and the thoughtful Bernard wrapped these feathers with his body, That's why he used such an embarrassed appearance to get out of the whirlpool.
And it was this drill that triggered the next series of things, and before Bernard, who had just stood still in the air, had no time to catch his breath, the whirlpool behind him began to slowly shrink, and then the altar that was still emitting light suddenly dimmed, and a strong light came one after another, shining on Bernard's body, no! There are also those few feathers, Bernard, who originally thought that this was the end of the matter, didn't know why so many things happened, which was completely different from his previous assumptions, and today all this was beyond Bernard's expectations, which made him very annoyed, this feeling of not being in control, really powerless.
And just when Bernard was helpless, two more things floated over, and it took Bernard a lot of effort to distinguish that this pair of crystal clear and faint yellow light should be the eyes of the basilisk, which surprised Bernard! The pair of eyes as big as wheels before had become so small now, but compared to the things next to him, Bernard felt that he could still accept it, after all, he really couldn't accept that the heart of the basilisk was as big as it was now.
It looked like a deflated balloon, the surface looked crumpled, wrapped in green juice, and emitted a fishy smell, just when Bernard was still entangled between these two things, a force slowly attracted Bernard to the altar, the heart of the basilisk, the eyes of the basilisk, the soul of Bernard, the feathers of the black bird, the four things were arranged regularly on the altar, which made Bernard feel a little bad.
This seems to be the magic that I designed to shape the body of the "demon" I summoned for myself, but now there is no spiritual life here! No, I can't say no, looking at my position, it seems that I am the spiritual life, this discovery makes Bernard feel very uncomfortable, although the development of things is finally in his own estimate, but this is definitely not the result he wants.
Realizing this, Bernard still brainstormed wildly, although all this is similar to his own expectations, but after all, there is still a little difference, that is, the "demon" that should have appeared in the previous assumption did not appear, and now the main body of the soul as a shape is Bernard.
The second point is that he didn't expect that there would be any basilisk eyes and heart that were preserved, which is also inconsistent with his own assumption, and as long as there are variables, there is a chance, but unfortunately, what he summoned from the previous world is not a spiritual life, and he glanced at those feathers in disappointment, Bernard made a decision that ordinary people dare not think.
That's the reverse operation of the meditation method, speaking of this meditation method, since the last soul source supplement experiment found that the meditation method is actually acting on his own soul, Bernard's meditation every day for a while has become a necessary homework every day, although there is no particularly strong effect, but Bernard feels that his magic is running more and more smoothly, and, he seems to be more and more compatible with this body, of course, this is Bernard's inner thoughts, how is it, But there is no experimental data to support it, after all, the soul is not as easy to measure as magic.
The reverse operation meditation method is Bernard's speculation, and under the irrigation of the soul source, the self-operation meditation method can successfully repair the cracks between the souls, so can you split your soul by running the reverse operation? No one can answer this point, but in this situation, in his own magic design, the core of shaping must be spiritual life, and there is no way to avoid this, so the source of this soul is very important.
Now that his soul is regarded as the soul core, finding a new core is Bernard's top priority, so if the reverse operation meditation method is successful, can he tear out a small piece of soul fragment with his soul origin that far surpasses others and become the core of this magic array?
Under the domination of such thoughts, Bernard resolutely reversed the meditation method, and then a pain more terrible than the tearing of the body brought Bernard to life, and he fainted, what the fainted Bernard did not know was that, as he expected, the soul power from Quirrell and Voldemort, which was not so closely bound to his soul origin, was separated first.
But it seems that these are not enough, it seems that there is still a little bit of short, and the magic array once again extracted a force from Bernard's soul, this time, although it does not seem to be much, but it makes Bernard's soul dim all of a sudden, and then slowly returns to his body.
And in the end, this soul power was like a seal that lit a bonfire, the green magic fire was burning, the snake eyes, hearts, feathers, and soul fragments were thrown into the flames, and then they were burned out, and finally the flames gradually disappeared, and the light of the magic array gradually dimmed, and finally, the entire secret room returned to its previous cold appearance, except for the sound of water, there was nothing.
If anyone is there, they can see that Bernard is lying on the ground as if he is dead, and next to him, a dark, yellowish bird's egg, like the size of a quail egg, lies there quietly, what the unconscious Bernard does not know is that this bird egg will bring him a different life, he also does not know what the consequences of his soul-tearing act today will bring him, all this, he does not know, he just lies quietly in the secret room until ......
On the other side, the missing Professor Rochefort has become a hot topic of discussion, because Professor Rochefort did not appear again until the end of the semester, many people say that it was the monster in the secret room that robbed Professor Rochefort, which caused a lot of panic, but then the attack that did not appear made another theory very loud, that is, Professor Rochefort protected everyone, and the monster in the secret room died together, and the students argued, the professors did not care, But the disappearance of a professor is a big deal, and Dumbledore has to give everyone an explanation, especially since Bernard's identity is so special, which makes him a headache!
"Albus, do you really want to do this?" Professor McGonagall asked softly, seemingly unreceptive to the result.
"Yes, Minerva, I tried my best, but just like the spread among the students, Bernard really seems to have died with the monsters in the secret room, you know, the secret room was really opened, but after Bernard disappeared, the attack did not happen again, and besides, I also know from Harry, in fact, Bernard has found some clues, well, that is, when Harry was attacking before, he actually heard some strange sounds, and no one else could hear them."
Dumbledore paused and continued, "And these Bernards know all of this, and, according to some clues I have, there should be a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets that has lived for nearly a thousand years!" Dumbledore could not continue, but was interrupted by Professor McGonagall's screaming.
"A thousand-year-old basilisk! Albus, you're sure you're not kidding. Professor McGonagall's mouth was wide open, much larger than usual, and her face was incredulous.
"Indeed, Minerva, also, the location of the Chamber of Secrets will take me a while to determine, don't ask me how I know, I have my own source of information." Dumbledore looked at what Professor McGonagall wanted to say and said this, after listening to Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall really stopped asking, obviously this kind of thing had happened before, and everyone already had some tacit understanding in their hearts.
"So, if our speculation is true, then Bernard is probably gone with us forever." At this point, Dumbledore paused again before continuing: "I know you don't think it's good to close the coffin so early, but there's only so much we can do, a special contribution award, a pension, the last thing I can get for Bernard." ”
As if stimulated by Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall opened her mouth silently, but was unable to say anything, and finally had to hide her face and leave. Seeing Professor McGonagall leave, Dumbledore took out a black diary from the drawer, and watched it quietly, doing nothing, and the portraits of the old headmaster hanging on the wall did not communicate as fiercely as usual, but secretly communicated with his eyes, carefully, and the whole room fell into an eerie silence.
