Chapter 139: Out of Body Experience
"Please."
"I can take you there, in exchange for resurrecting me," the journal remnant wrote on it, "but you'll have to learn a few words of Parseltongue before you can get in." β
"No," Ricardo said after a moment's silence, "I have a spell that will solve this problem. β
β¦β¦
Red and fiery trance......
A spell that wandered in his mind. His consciousness began to blur, and he only felt that the world was spinning, his eyes and ears were ringing, and the things around him seemed to be pulled away from something, swaying from side to side.
"Now, follow all my commands......"
In his empty head, the sound of Voldemort wrapped in magic echoed. Then, the sound invaded his consciousness from his brain, reaching his soul, but it didn't make him feel any pain, enveloping him like a frog boiled in warm water.
Boiled frogs in warm water, yes, boiled frogs in warm water. He knew it was dangerous, but he couldn't help but sink.
But when Voldemort's spell invaded his soul and was about to see his memory, Ricardo frowned, and then, the involuntary feeling disappeared, and he opened his eyes, and instead of the darkness that had been struck by Voldemort's spell, he was ...... The top of the office?
He seems to have become a Piao, and he is really out of his body......
His soul literally left his body and flew lightly. He moves outside of his own body, free, as if in a dream, but with a real sense of smell and taste, only the sense of touch disappears, and he passes through any entity he touches.
fluttering like a legacy of independence, feathering and ascending to immortals.
He thought so.
Ricardo took a deep breath and let himself slowly descend. He saw the body take a deep breath and look excited.
"That's a pretty good spell," said the remnant soul in the flesh, "an hour of soul dwelling......
That's right, soul swapping, you must have at least two souls and one body at the time of the experiment, and this is one of the few spells in the magic book that Ricardo does not use.
It may seem boring, but in fact Ricardo believes that it will skyrocketing to his knowledge of the soul. For this reason, Ricardo decided to participate in this experiment.
"But...... Why do you believe in me so much? Unafraid...... Have I taken you away? β
Ricardo's soul rolled his eyes, and he was still pretending to be confused? I must have done something!
Besides, the desire for flesh and blood can't fade with time...... If you use it once, you will think about it a second or third time, and the only one who can cry out is me, and so ......
"Remember Lord Grindelwald's famous quote?" He asked rhetorically, "For the greater good, I will reassure you, and you will not do that." β
"Maybe," the remnant stretched with his body, "I thought you would say that you believed me." β
"I remember you told me," Ricardo squinted, "faith is the most unreliable thing in the world, and only the binding of interests is the greatest eternity." β
"Alright," the remnant laughed, "for the greater good, I will enter a beautiful place on your behalf today. β
ββ¦β¦ Where? β
"Girls' bathroom. Don't worry, I won't use invisibility spells. β
ββ¦β¦β
Soon, they came to an abandoned girls' bathroom, and Ricardo was keenly aware that he had been nearby.
It was after that ghost party that Ricardo chased after the place.
The remnant controlled the body as it walked towards an ordinary sink and expertly found a copper faucet with a tiny snake carved into one side.
Seeing the appearance of the remnant, Ricardo narrowed his eyes.
The guy's remaining memories...... Isn't that great?
The remnant soul stared at the micro-shaped snake carving, and at the same time moved its head, and said softly, "Open." β
It wasn't English, but it was a strange "hissing" sound, and in an instant, the faucet was covered in a brilliant white light, and began to spin, and then the sink began to move. In fact, the sink sank, revealing a pipe wide enough for one person to slip into.
The remnant strode in, casually closing the door in snake language. Ricardo's soul followed.
"At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and it was only through people, and it was dozens of steps back, and suddenly it was enlightened......"
But that's just his wish. In fact, as soon as he entered, he began to slide down. The avoidance is filthy, pitch black, and seemingly never-ending. He could see many other pipes leading out of the side, but none of them were as large as the one he was on.
Twist...... Revolve...... Steep descent ......
He knew that he had slipped far deeper than the school and the dungeon.
The cold air whistled by, but Ricardo didn't feel anything, he couldn't perceive everything that happened to him.
It was as if he had suddenly been put in the perspective of a reader, quietly watching the play outside his body, and he could only watch everything happen.
Conscious...... It seems to be closer to the soul.
But why? Why can't consciousness be pinned on the body itself, but on a soul as a carrier?
Suddenly, he remembered the magic card he had forgotten for a long time. The last thing he came to his conclusion before he stalled was that it would be better to write the cards with the blood of magical beasts, so that the spells would be more stable and the magic patterns on the cards would be less affected by the paper material itself.
Magic pattern-blood-card, this is also a kind of trinity, is this related to the trinity of consciousness-soul-body?
Or, is the world indeed idealistic, an evolutionary history...... From the consciousness, to the soul, to the body?
Impossible, decades of materialist education in his previous life made him quickly reject this view, idealism is indeed easy to explain everything in the world, but if you are immersed in idealism and surrender everything to idealism, then there is no need to explore anything.
The body and soul cannot be explained by the inert thinking of idealism, and unless Ricardo finds sufficient evidence to prove it, everything is in vain.
The reason why consciousness favors the soul, and even inhabits the "essence" in the soul, must have another deep meaning.
In addition, having the soul independent of the body really deepens the perception of soul magic, and he adds a new sense of some spells, just to experiment with the remnant soul when the time comesβpreferably, the remnant will turn against him, so that he will not be afraid to use some high-priced magic.
As Ricardo's soul pondered all this, there was a "bang", and his remnant-controlled body shot out of the end of the pipe and landed on the wet floor of the stone tunnel. The underground passage is large enough for people to stand on, and it is pitch black all around.
He was covered in slime and stared into the darkness ahead.
With a wave of his right hand, a ball of flame appeared, and the remnant began to set off, walking in the wetland, and the footsteps were extremely loud.
The underground pipe was so big that he could only see a small distance ahead. In the firelight, his shadow was reflected on the wall, looking extremely terrifying.
