Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mirror of Eris (End)!
The next morning, the snow had not yet melted.
"Want to play chess?" Ron asked.
"I don't want to." Harry said.
"Why don't we go down and see Hagrid?"
"Don't go...... There you go......"
"I know what you're thinking, Harry, you're thinking about that mirror. Don't go again tonight. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know. I just had a very bad feeling -- and besides, you've gotten away so many times. Filch, Snape, and Lady Loris were wandering around. What if they see you? What if they bump into you? ”
"You speak like Hermione."
"I'm not kidding, Harry, don't go."
But there was only one thought on Harry's mind, and that was to go back to the mirror. Ron couldn't stop him.
Liu Jiecao didn't participate in the matter of looking at the magic mirror at all on the surface, so he naturally couldn't express his opinion in front of the two.
By the third night, Harry was already familiar with the road. He walked as fast as he could, not realizing he was making a loud noise, but he didn't meet anyone.
Liu Jiecao continued to broadcast live this time, and he and his friends have been waiting for that opportunity to appear.
Ah, Harry's mom and dad were smiling at him again, and one of his grandpas was nodding happily. Harry sat on the floor in front of the mirror. He's going to stay here all night, with his family, and nothing can stop him. Nothing! Unless—"So to speak—you're here again, Harry? ”
Liu Jiecao and his little friend's eyes lit up. I know it's coming.
Harry felt his internal organs freeze to ice. He looked behind him. Sitting at a table by the wall was none other than Albus. Dumbledore. Harry must have walked straight past him. He was in such a hurry to look in the mirror that he didn't notice him at all.
Liu Jiecao knew the original plot for a long time, and also knew that Harry was able to come here because he was originally arranged by Dumbledore and was guided over intentionally or unintentionally.
Now, Dumbledore's appearance is actually a signal.
"I—I didn't see you, sir."
"It's weird. After becoming invisible, you actually became short-sighted. Dumbledore said. Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on his face.
"So to speak." Dumbledore said, sliding off the table. Sitting on the floor with Harry, "You, like the thousands of people before you, have discovered the joy of the Mirror of Eris. ”
"I don't know what it's called, sir."
"But I'm guessing you know its magic by now, right?"
"It's- oh - makes me see my family—"
"And make your friend Ron see himself as the president of the boys' student council."
"How do you know—"
"I don't have to be invisible." Dumbledore said mildly. "So. Can you think about what the Mirror of Eris has shown us all? ”
Harry shook his head.
"Let me explain. The happiest person in the world can use the Mirror of Eris as an ordinary mirror, that is, what he sees in the mirror is his own appearance. Got something? ”
Harry was thinking. Then he said slowly, "The mirror allows us to see what we want...... Whatever we wanted......"
"Yes and no." Dumbledore said softly, "It makes us see only the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts." You've never seen your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron. Weasley had been dwarfed by his older brothers, so he saw himself standing alone. It's the best of them all. However, this mirror can neither teach us knowledge. Nor can they tell us the truth. People spend their time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven mad because they don't know if everything in the mirror is real and if it's possible. ”
"Tomorrow the mirror will be moving to a new place, Harry, and I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it one day, you have to be prepared. It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life, so remember it. All right; Why don't you put on that wonderful cloak of invisibility and go back to sleep? ”
Liu Jiecao's face changed, knowing that he had made a mistake. He seems to have misremembered the plot, and he thought he would have another chance.
The faces of the three people from the earth are not good-looking, they are less familiar with the plot than Liu Jiecao, so it is naturally impossible to remember this kind of detail. Liu Jiecao made a mistake, and they also made a mistake together.
The Immortal Sect had already shown a disappointed expression, and he felt that there was no play. He knew that Dumbledore would take the mirror with him when Harry was gone.
Liu Jiecao wasn't thinking about this, he knew that he had a deviation in his memory of the plot, but didn't he create this world by himself? Why is there a deviation but it doesn't go on according to my own memory, but it seems to be based on the original plot?
It seems that this has never happened in the previous world creation.
He thought about it, and he always felt that this matter was extremely important. Couldn't help but look at the three people from Earth.
The three of them may not have a clear memory of the plot, but the memory should still be in their brains, unlike Liu Jiecao, who seems to have completely misremembered. At best, the three of them had forgotten......
In this way, the theories proposed by the photosphere in the past continue to be relevant? Can a fantasy world be supported by the perception of others? Even if the Creator is wrong, will he make up for it with the help of other people's memories?
At the beginning, the Youyou Baishu world almost collapsed, but it was only because of the cognitive addition of the white crow that it was supported and continued. Although Liu Jiecao's creation technology became stronger and stronger, and he no longer needed other people's cognition to join in to support the world, he still didn't change this rule and still existed there.
The facts in front of us prove this, and what the Creator remembers is wrong, but it is made up for by others. Maybe. This is also because of the relationship between the intervention of the Book of Creation, if there is no coordination of the Book of Creation, perhaps this kind of completion may not be able to exist.
But. This is a matter for the future, and if you make a mistake in calculation, you will have to bear the result. Although his face was ugly, Liu Jiecao still decided to see the end.
Harry stood up.
"Sir- Professor Dumbledore? May I ask you a word? ”
"Needless to say, you just did that." Dumbledore smiled, "You can ask me one more question, though." ”
"When you look in the magic mirror. What do you see? ”
"Me? I saw myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks. ”
Harry's eyes widened.
"There are never enough socks to wear." Dumbledore said, "Christmas came and went, and I didn't receive a pair of socks. People insisted on sending me books. ”
Harry wasn't until he got back to bed. It occurred to me that Dumbledore might not be telling the truth. However, when he pushed the spots off the pillow, he thought: That's a matter of privacy.
Liu Jiecao wanted to tell Harry about this. He will understand the truth later.
Maybe. Dumbledore would deceive and conceal Harry many times after that, but this time it was Dumbledore's rare truth.
The meaning of wool stockings is family affection, which is the most precious thing Dumbledore has lost, this is the biggest regret of his life, he can only see his relatives in the magic mirror, and there will be no other exceptions.
Dumbledore convinced Harry not to look for the Mirror of Eris again, so the cloak was folded well for the rest of the Christmas holidays. Place at the bottom of the box.
Because he was no longer needed for the time being, when Liu Jiecao borrowed a day from him. It was a success.
Liu Jiecao and the Immortal Sect, they haven't completely given up yet, even if the Eris Magic Mirror and the Philosopher's Stone in it can only take another risk, it is impossible to get another chance in front of them.
However, the Cloak of Invisibility is still one of the three holy relics of the Grim Reaper, and the great opportunity to take advantage of Harry's depression and not need to use the Cloak of Invisibility is enough to study, even if it is only for a day.
A day later, combined with the analysis and research of the two of them, combined with the data, they were able to imitate the simplest invisibility cloak, of course, this is a one-time invisibility cloak with a time limit, and it has no effect when it expires. The original version of the Cloak of Invisibility only lasted ten minutes, and it could have been detected by some magic, but as a good start, it was pretty good.
What's more, Liu Jiecao and the Immortal Sect can still continue to make technological progress, and the approximate data of the real invisibility cloak is already known, but now the problem is just a lack of technology, and it is impossible to conduct further analysis and research, and it is still possible to continue to work hard.
If it weren't for the use of the method of "making a wish", the power of using Liu Jiecao's copied telekinesis ability "Wandering Scarlet Man" that could turn words into reality, even if the two joined forces, it would be impossible to completely record the data of the invisibility cloak.
For Liu Jiecao, although this invisibility cloak is only an illusory product in the outside world, but in the fantasy world, it is true to say that it is real, and it still needs to act according to the rules of this world, otherwise Liu Jiecao does not need to be so troublesome.
On the other hand, after returning the invisibility cloak, Liu Jiecao directly noticed that Harry's mental state had not improved.
Harry wished he could easily forget what he saw in the Magic Mirror, but he couldn't. He began to have nightmares. Over and over again, he dreamed that his parents would disappear in a sudden flash of green light, and at the same time there was a loud sound quacking and laughing.
"You see, Dumbledore is right, the Magic Mirror might drive you crazy." When Harry told Ron and Liu Jiecao about these dreams, Ron said this.
And Liu Jiecao directly suggested that Harry should be diverted, otherwise he would only continue to torture himself and would not be able to get relief.
Hermione came back the day before school started, and she saw it differently. She had mixed feelings, on the one hand, she was horrified that Harry had gotten out of bed and wandered around the school three nights in a row - "What if you get caught by Filch!" On the one hand, why Lilianicol. Lemay was deeply disappointed that he had not figured out who it was.
Even if she already knew that it was from Liu Jiecao, but under the premise of being banned, she couldn't take the initiative to remind the two of them. (To be continued......)
