Chapter Eighty-Three: Chatting
Bang!
The sound of glass bottles shattering suddenly sounded.
Madam Pomfrey knocked over the potion she was concocting, and touched her chest with some palpitations.
Lind's whisper seemed to penetrate the silent barrier released by Dumbledore, reverberating low through the room.
At the same time, all the people in the room, except for Dumbledore, felt a feeling of being watched from the shadows, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously, making their bodies sticky, as if it had just rained on a hot day.
"What sound?" Harry even felt some tinnitus inexplicably, asked a little stiffly, and then saw Dumbledore poke his head out of the cubicle to calm everyone.
"It's okay, I accidentally caused some small accident just now." Dumbledore's words swept through everyone's hearts like a spring breeze, calming them down.
Lind covered her mouth in the cubicle.
"Damn, that's too careless. Is this an existence that cannot be understood? ”
He secretly resolved in his heart that he would never say this name again.
After reassuring the group, Dumbledore turned his head to sit back down, then took out his Elder Wand and solemnly unleashed a few more isolation spells.
"Cthulhu Fordan, that's how you pronounce it, right?" Dumbledore uttered the name again, but it didn't cause that commotion again.
It didn't seem so incomprehensible, Lind thought to herself. In fact, it was Linde's own guess that the other party was Cthulhu, so he just said the name more casually.
But just now the reaction caused by this name was so big, which made him more sure of the identity of the guy who possessed him.
Most of it was the evil god he remembered, the ruler of the old days, the lord of the deep, the being that could not be seen, heard, or imagined—Cthulhu.
Cthulhu comes from the "Cthulhu Mythos", a series of famous novels in his previous life, which he read in his previous life.
Although Linde was a sci-fi fan in his previous life, he didn't know much about the series, and he liked hard sci-fi rather than horror novels like Cthulhu in the skin of sci-fi.
So he doesn't know much about this series, just some basic worldviews.
And it just so happened that when he wanted to get his own body, he said something that Linde knew.
The exact words were: "Ever since that crumb of Geheros woke him up......"
The message contained in this sentence is easy to understand when combined with Linde's basic worldview of Cthulhu.
Like other Greek mythology, Norse mythology, there is also a supreme main god in the worldview of the Cthulhu Mythos.
In other myths, the supreme god is either tall and mighty, and some are extraordinarily intelligent, but the supreme god of the Cthulhu mythos, Azathoth, is an exception.
He is a god of blindness and foolishness, chaos and disorder.
That's right, these derogatory terms are used to describe the supreme god of Cthulhu's worldview.
He is the unintelligible, unknowable, unspeakable chaos creature.
No one can understand His existence and simply call Him 'Azathoth'. His existence is the universe itself, and in this worldview, the whole universe is nothing more than a disordered dream of Him.
His image is described as an amorphous dark, chaotic mass that inhabits the center of the universe.
And the whole universe was a dream of Azathoth, and when he woke up, the universe was shattered.
Chaos and disorder can make his dreams sweeter, which also represents the eternal color of that world - chaos
But among these disordered and chaotic gods, there is an exception.
A living planet made of gas, ash, and liquid iron - the outer god: Geheros.
In the universe, He will always emit a celestial sound similar to an air raid siren, guiding the world to order.
Order would cause Azathoth to be 'woken up', leading to the destruction of the world.
That's what Lind analyzed from what He said. He scolded Gehros for waking him up, so he should be referring to Azathoth.
The reason why Lind guessed that the guy who possessed him was Cthulhu Fortan was because of the huge octopus head that he saw on the wall after his body was controlled by him, and the changes in his own body.
It should be Cthulhu!
That's Linde's guess, and as for the rest, he doesn't know yet.
And the reason he chose to tell this speculation was because he wanted to find out if the wisest man in the wizarding world had heard of the name.
If not, then it is possible to boldly guess that this "Cthulhu" is also an outsider like himself.
"Names you've never heard of, do you know anything else?" Dumbledore stroked his beard.
Linde shook his head, "I don't know, I just know the name, and the rest, it's just the ones I saw in my body at the time."
After I was accidentally caught by Professor Quirrell......
After that, Linde told the story honestly. Including the fact that although you can't control your body, you can see what is happening, etc......
It was until He left the body, and then Linde fainted from exhaustion, and he really passed out.
By the end of the sentence, Harry had fallen asleep, and his friends had left early.
It was already starting to get a little dark outside the window, and Linde turned his head to look. Then Dumbledore looked a little happy on the sidelines.
"Honestly, you amazed me Linde.
I didn't expect that in that situation, you didn't panic, but still remained relatively calm and continued to observe after being possessed. ”
Dumbledore gave him an appreciative look.
Linde spread his hands, looking a little helpless. "I wish I had panicked a little, and maybe I would have burst out with some power, after all, as the old saying goes: people are forced."
Dumbledore heard what he said and smiled, "Linde, do you know the Blood Curse?" ”
"Blood curse? What kind of black magic? ”
"That's right, it's an extremely evil form of black magic. This magic is to seal the soul of a creature in a person's body. One body and two souls grow together.
Over time, the soul of a human will be defeated by the soul of a sealed creature and become a monster. ”
"This ......"
He could understand what Dumbledore said, he had seen it in his previous life, Voldemort's python Nagini was a blood-cursed orc.
"Professor, you mean, I have a blood curse on me?" Linde whispered the words.
Dumbledore nodded, then shook again. "It should be said that it is a thought, and it has been believed.
We used to think you had a blood spell, but now we think it might be an even more horrible spell.
The guy who was sealed inside your body was more like a very powerful wizard, the dark wizard. ”
Dumbledore's guess wasn't a problem from his point of view, as he didn't have a worldview of Cthulhu in his head, he just knew that the guy in Lind's body was called Cthulhu Fordan.
It has an octopus head, fins, and webbed. It's like a dark wizard or the rest of the subhuman race who uses evil sorcery or ritual to transform itself.
If it were Linde's words, he would definitely not dare to say yes: sealed, dark wizard, etc.
Linde analyzed Dumbledore's words, and then tried his best to calm himself down, Dumbledore may not have the blessing of the Cthulhu Mythos worldview, so there are some words that Linde denies.
But as the most powerful and perhaps the most erudite scholar in the world. The rest of what he said was a foregone conclusion for Linde.
For example, Cthulhu is still in his body.
