Chapter 42: The heart is like water, and Tom will be met again
Scientists have found that the human brain is an idle machine.
Even during sleep, the brain moves through dreaming, let alone in normal study life.
It can be said that our brains are thinking all the time, all kinds of new ideas are springing up, generating sparks of wisdom.
While most of these sparks are meaningless, just because we haven't found them doesn't mean they don't exist.
And when Clark fell into the training state of Occlumency, the generation of this spark of wisdom was obviously slowed down.
At this time, Clark's mind was clear, there was no murmur, fear, joy, sadness, anger and other emotions all left him, and the whole person fell into a kind of tranquility that is difficult to put into words.
Clark enjoyed this wonderful feeling very much, as if he had been running, and suddenly slowed down, and the whole person was relaxed, both mentally and physically.
And amazingly, this state is different from being comatose and sleeping, Clarke's consciousness is very clear, even clearer than usual.
Sometimes slow is fast, and when the speed of running slows down, we can enjoy the better scenery along the way.
And when the speed of thinking slows down, we can focus more on those fleeting sparks of wisdom.
In this state, Clark suddenly remembered some of the contents of "Close Your Brain" that he had read a few days ago, and the knowledge in those books began to flow in his mind, like a waterfall, flashing in front of him.
Combined with some of his current feelings, he immediately comprehended the above content that was originally considered to be babbling.
It turns out that the knowledge recorded by those predecessors is not really illogical and chaotic, but because they are like this, people's thinking is inherently imaginative and unpredictable.
They just record it all as it is.
"When you don't look at this flower, it will die with you; When you come to see this flower, the color of this flower is understood for a while, and you know that this flower is not outside your heart. ”
All the contents of the book that Clark recalled in his mind suddenly condensed into this sentence in this instant.
I think, therefore I am, so it is.
The so-called brain defense training is just to see your own heart clearly.
Just like the Buddha of Shenxiu, the founder of the Northern Zen sect.
The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror.
Always wipe diligently, don't make dust.
The training of this brain defense technique is clearly a kind of cultivation method that constantly purifies the mind, and as for other falsified memories and deceiving others' spiritual thoughts, it is just a small path derived from it.
It's ridiculous that Lockhart and Snape ignored the role of this method of cultivation, and instead thought that the later fake memories were a higher level.
The delusion in his heart was shattered, and Clark suddenly woke up from his state of meditation.
The noisy shouting in the downstairs lounge, the howling wind outside the window, the softness of the bed sitting underneath, and the joy and pride of mastering the Occlumency technique...... It returned to Clark's mind again, causing him to frown deeply.
If I had not seen the sun, I would have endured the darkness.
This is how Clark feels now, as if all of a sudden, from a leisurely vacation, to a busy workstation, and the next vacation is far away.
For ordinary people, the tranquility of the closed state of the brain is simply the supreme enjoyment, and that kind of mental relaxation is ten times stronger than going to the bathhouse to be a horse and chicken.
It's no wonder that Snape's knowledge of Occlumency is so deep, and the guilt and love for Lily, the fear of Voldemort and the hatred of Dumbledore torment his heart all the time.
Perhaps only by maintaining a closed brain at all times could Snape live like a normal person.
Of course, none of this has much to do with Clark.
Just now he seems to have set off the system information again.
"Ding, through studying, you have experienced a special state of mind, and thus obtained the information of the specialty [Heart is like stopping water]."
[Heart is like stopping water]: The professional expertise of the warrior monk, the heart is like stopping the water, and the waves are not prosperous. A long period of Zen practice will make your mind extra powerful, and when fighting against the psychic spell, your intelligence will gain an extra +1. - Woman, it only affects the speed and power of my punches. (You'll need to do a full Occlumency training session and invest 1000 XP to get this skill, with a current progress of 0/1.) )
It seems that his sudden withdrawal from the Occlumency Surgery just now cannot be regarded as a complete training.
Clark looked at his experience points again, and after a few days of fermentation, the influence of the Hogwarts School Magazine began to decrease and decrease, which was reflected in the experience points, that is, the growth had stopped.
But even so, the first issue of the Hogwarts School Magazine gave Clark 1410 XP, which means that 141 people fully agree with and understand Clark's article.
Don't think that this number is too small, you know, people read magazines and newspapers, more like having fun, this is not a class, how can so many people listen to you carefully.
It's like a short video software, there are many anchors who spread knowledge, but their attention is not as much as a fraction of a video of Ikawano dancing.
Now Clark has 1801 experience points, and if he doesn't level up, he can just exchange for the [Heart Like Water] specialty.
Anyway, there was no major danger recently, Clark did not hesitate, immediately adjusted his sitting position, and devoted himself to the training of Occlumency.
Over the course of one night, plus 1,500 XP, Clark was able to earn the [Heart as Water] specialty.
After experiencing it, this specialty is a bit like a constant state of weak brain occlusion, which can make people more calm, not easily affected by the outside world, and it is worth the money.
Now that Occlumency is in the door, Clark doesn't hide it, and goes straight to Professor Lockhart and asks him to instruct him on how to take the next step - weaving false memories.
Under the dual effect of the threat of money, Lockhart knows everything, and teaches him all the means of making up his memories.
However, contrary to Clark's imagination, this method should actually be divided into two stages, which are to disguise emotions and make up stories.
Camouflage emotions require users to observe and understand the production and performance of various emotions first, and then simulate them, and the rest is a long period of practice to reach the point where practice makes perfect and the mind can be withdrawn from simulated emotions.
As for making up stories, Clark was quick to get started.
Because he was an online writer who hit the street in his previous life, what a golden chapter, pretending to be forced to slap his face, a sense of expectation, not to mention the door clear, he also has a little experience.
In contrast, the wizard's logical thinking ability is somewhat lacking, which leads to a difficult problem to make up a false story that can echo from beginning to end and has no logical problems.
But for him, it's still very simple.
While Clark was learning to falsify memories with Lockhart, a second issue of their Hogwarts Magazine was published.
In this issue, although the other content sections are a little bland, Clark still managed to find the breaking point, that is, his pet, the black dragon Nobeta who is being kept in the Forbidden Forest at the moment.
In fact, as early as last semester, this news had spread to the British wizarding world with the return of the students, after all, how could a child not like to show off.
But it had always been gossip, and there was no official notice, and this time, Clark took Colin, accompanied by Hagrid, into the Forbidden Forest, and gave Nobeta a set of close-up full-body photos in the makeshift fire dragon field.
This kind of exclusive interior photo, coupled with some introductory materials of the fire dragon, immediately detonated the enthusiasm of readers again.
Unlike Muggle World, parents in the wizarding world did not worry about their children's safety at Hogwarts because there was a fire dragon in the school.
I don't know if these parents really have big hearts or trust Dumbledore, they are even proud and proud of the fact that Hogwarts has a dragon, and they have sent letters urging the school to build a dragon breeding hall as soon as possible and open dragon training classes to students.
Hagrid, of course, had mentioned a few words to Clark about this period, but since the last time he met with the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, the matter of running a dragon farm has been like a stone in the sea, and there has been no response.
Clark knows that the calmer the sea, the more dangerous undercurrents are often hidden, and in the same way, the fact that there is no movement in this matter now just proves that the forces involved in this matter are engaged in a series of confrontations.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to intervene in it for the time being, and this kind of big event that vaguely involves the confrontation of extraordinary forces in several countries is like a big grinding wheel, and all he can do is wait.
It's still not enough, whether it's soft power or hard power.
Clark thought to himself.
Fortunately, he is still young and has unlimited potential, and the second issue of the school magazine that has just been released has contributed 730 experience points to him.
Therefore, the first thing to do now is to steadily improve the strength, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king.
For example, he could drain a Horcrux named Tom Riddle first.
After planning for so long, preparing so well, and even going a little further, it was time for a third contact with Voldemort's diary.
As the saying goes, there are only three things, and this time, he must take Tom Riddle down.
Clark directly chose a dark and windy night and sneaked into the suitcase.
And as he got closer, Voldemort's diary seemed to sense something.
Before Clark could make a move, he took the initiative to turn the page, obviously in a closed living room, but it seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the page turned over with a clatter, stopping in the middle.
And this time, the diary didn't come out of the diary like before.
Clark was surprised to find that a small square that looked like a miniature TV screen suddenly appeared on the paper in the middle of the page.
He subconsciously walked over, keeping his eyes close to the small window, and before he could react to what was going on, an invisible and powerful suction force came from the window, and then the whole person involuntarily fell forward.
Clark danced his hands, trying to keep his body balanced.
It's a pity that it's too late, and the small window is constantly enlarging and enlarging in front of his eyes.
Clark only felt as if his body had suddenly lifted off the ground, and he fell headfirst into the window of the page, into a swirling cloud of colors and shadows.
When he felt his feet fall on solid ground and stand firmly, the blur around him suddenly became clear again.
Clark knew at once where he was, and the large room full of desks and chairs was the Hogwarts classroom he knew so well.
At this time, there were still many people in the classroom, and Clark saw some unfamiliar faces all around, except for the teacher on the podium, who looked very much like Dumbledore when he was young.
His beard was not so white, nor was it so long, and it was vaguely clear that the headmaster must have been a handsome young man when he was young.
In front of the middle-aged Professor Dumbledore, a handsome senior student was standing there talking.
He had just completed a very complex advanced Transfiguration, and was now telling his classmates about some of his skills in Transfiguration practice, and received a round of applause and praise from Professor Dumbledore.
Obviously, after Clarke's first two rough treatments, the remnant of Voldemort who was lodged in the Horcrux also learned to behave.
This time, without waiting for Clark to communicate with him, he directly took him into his memory illusion, and did not give him a chance to refuse at all.
Such a rude behavior is only afraid that it will make this remnant soul who is not rich in magic even worse.
But it has to be said that this is also meaningful, just a manifestation of a scene, with Dumbledore, a familiar classroom, and students in the classroom, which is enough to make most Hogwarts students lose their vigilance.
It can be seen that Tom Riddle when he was young, his IQ was still online.
Of course, this may also be because he succeeded in reading some of the "desires" in Clark's heart this time.
As for why crave to put quotation marks?
Because these emotions perceived by Tom Riddle's Regency are also false memories that Clark has constructed in his heart through brain defenses.
He just brought some feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred from his previous life here, and then combined with the dilemma he had encountered in Transfiguration before, which misled the remnant soul of the Dark Lord in his youth.
If it weren't for the memories of his previous life, just with his current identity as a pure-blood wizard who has been smooth sailing since he was a child, it would be really difficult to imitate the feeling of struggling in ordinary life and blushing in the bustling world.
