Alan shrugged and spread his hands, "Since Tom has set these things up, wouldn't it be a waste of his hard work not to experience them." ”

“... You're a little disrespectful..."Sirius heard Alan's words and felt that he was really indebted, "If the mystery man knew that you were doing this with his carefully set levels..."

Without waiting for Allen to answer, Sirius walked over to the basin as he spoke, his eyes staring at the basin full of transparent liquid, which had previously emitted a glittering phosphorescence from the pendant at the bottom of the basin in front of him, which resembled a meditation basin, and there was a base under the basin, although it was unrecognizable, Sirius could also detect that the base and the basin were constantly holding very advanced spells.

Thinking that it was the liquids tormenting Regulus, Sirius glared and reached for the stone basin, trying to touch the liquids, but he encountered an invisible resistance, his hands could not reach the liquids, and the hard, indestructible air separated his hands from the poison.

Unconvinced, Sirius raised his wand and made some complex movements on the surface of the liquid, muttering something silently, but there was no movement, but the light from the liquid seemed to be brighter.

Alan waited for Sirius to finish trying before he spoke: "This stone basin and pedestal are very deep magical creations, and the stone basin itself prevents your hand from reaching into it, not separating it, scooping it dry, or draining it, and after drinking it once and then filling it up again after a while." ”

Sirius said with some annoyance, "The few things I've tried have really no effect - I can't touch it, the vanishing charm has no effect on it, and there's no way to transform it. ”

"Your words can only be made empty if you drink them..."Alan motioned to Sirius to look at the spoon of crystals and shells placed on the stone basin, "The magic here is specially made, and if you have time, you may be able to break it if you have the patience and research spirit of Hermione..."

When he arrived at the cave, Kreacher, who had kept himself in a little presence, stepped forward, and his bullfrog-like, low voice was full of pleadings: "Master, Kreacher is willing to drink this venom, in the name of the brave young master Regulus!"

"Get out of the way! you didn't protect him at the time, and now you're pretending to be a good person!I'm coming, I'm Regulus's brother, and I'm supposed to drink them!" Sirius reached for the shell spoon.

After looking at the middle-aged wizard and the elderly house-elf for a while, looking at each other as if they wanted to be heroic and righteous, Alan said angrily: "Although this liquid will bring mental and physical torture to people, it is actually not fatal in itself, and I naturally have a way to solve this problem." ”

The confrontation Sirius and Kreacher's attention shifted from each other to Alan.

"For example, if you just come by yourself, you can find a criminal to bring him over and force him to drink all these poisons..."Allen's finger tapped lightly on the stone basin, "It's just a little delay, it's not a big problem." ”

"I'll drink it! Regulus has drunk it, and so can I!" Sirius looked impatient, "I can't wait! Regulus has been in the lake for too long. ”

"I'm talking about what you're going to say yourself..."Alan glanced at Hermione's frowning but unspoken expression, feeling that this reaction was still much better than she had been a few years ago, and stretched out her palm with some pleasure, and the staff of the Great Arcanister made in ancient times appeared in Ellen's hand, "As soon as my staff touches this pedestal and the stone basin, the magic effect on them will be lifted." ”

"Then what are you dragging so much about?Why don't you do it right away?!" Sirius took two steps forward to grab Alan's staff, but when he got closer, the power of the staff woke him up, and Sirius withdrew his hand and looked at the Dementor's spine, "If you want me to say, you've become more and more wicked since you came back from the Veil last year... What I learned from Durmstrang?"

"I thought you'd want to experience how Regulus felt at the time, to feel what he went through, what he paid?" Alan swapped the staff for his other left hand, picked up the shell with his right hand, and faced Sirius, "Kreacher has felt it, and knows how much Regulus has suffered for him, what about you?"

Sirius thought of the image of Regulus, in Kreacher's memory, crawling to the lake to fetch water with a strong desire, and finally being dragged down to the water by the army of Yin corpses that surfaced and drowned, and for a moment his heart was so painful that he was speechless, and he pressed the position of his chest and heart.

"No!" Hermione immediately shouted, "Don't you see how painful Kreacher and Regulus are in your memory... We don't have to ask for trouble like that. ”

"No! Alan is right, Hermione you're a little girl, you don't understand us men! Sirius looked resolute, "I need to know about Regulus... How I felt at the time..."

"Okay, but don't blame me for not warning you, don't forget what I said when you regret begging for mercy..."

Just as Hermione could never convince Harry and Ron not to take risks, her words only stirred Sirius's ambitions, and he clenched his hand into a fist and waved, "Look, I'll stick with it like Regulus!"

Hermione was beginning to understand why Alan had let her carry those things, it seemed that he had figured out what was going on here before Kreacher handed over his memories, Miss Know-It-All rolled her eyes at Allen, who was winking at her, and pulled the elderflower syrup out of her fanny pack - she now knew that the bottles of unsweetened drinks she had mixed with elderflower juice and ice water were not actually for them.

"Sirius, it seems that you are lucky, Hermione's fanny bag is ready for all kinds of things..."Alan walked over and picked up a bottle and took a few sips of it himself, then turned to Hermione and explained to Sirius, "Sirius, you don't have to drink it all, but I think you can experience how Regulus felt at that time, and you won't regret it when you remember your brother and this incident in the future, you feel unbearable and want to give up and signal." ”

Sirius frowned at Alan's persuasion, and after a little thought, he gave an order to Kreacher, the house-elf who was no longer their family: "Ugly thing! I'll give you a chance to take revenge, and if I can't lift my hand myself, you can pour all the poison into my stomach and don't stop!"

Kreacher, who originally felt that he had been robbed of his glory, suddenly had a little ill-intentioned smile on his ugly wrinkled face at this time, he showed a mouth full of mutilated teeth, and his bulging eyes blinked, and he was about to promise Sirius, but Kreacher glanced at Allen on the side, and immediately realized the change of ownership, and hurriedly bowed low to his new master and made a request: "Master, can Kreacher be allowed to agree to the request of the loser! Kreacher is very willing to help him finish drinking those potions!"

"Sirius, you can stop the experience at any time, and if you want to stop, pat it three times with any hand and I'll stop it for you. Allen tapped the index finger of his right hand three times on the stone basin, "If you don't want to give up and you can't drink it yourself, Kreacher you go and help him." ”

"Kreacher is very grateful to his master!" the house-elf bowed to Allen, his gaze on Sirius, his large pale eyes full of disgust and hatred, and the anticipation of imminent revenge.

Ready, the strange, green light of the potion reflected Sirius's resolute face, he took the shell from Alan's hand and put it in the liquid, unlike when he used his bare hands just now, the shell sank in one fell swoop, and the container was soon filled with transparent venom, Sirius carefully picked it up, facing Eren They even held them up politely.

"For Regulus. Sirius drank it all.
