Chapter 176: Slowly Approaching the Truth
The Dementors didn't come down on the front of Nix, and they didn't use the Dementors' kisses. But it carries an aura, leaving nothing but corruption and despair everywhere it goes.
The light around the Knicks vanished, and the happiness left him. The already fragile mind gradually can't suppress the chaos and madness.
Chaos and madness only raged in the minds of the Nix, and the Dementors linked to him and let the chaos and madness unleash. Also because of the aura that comes with it allows chaos and madness to spread.
If there were no Dementors, then the chaos and madness would only affect Knicks alone, and there would be no way to spread it to the outside world. With the Dementors, it's like a breach in the entire, and the water pours out and floods everything.
It's good for the Knicks, at least he'll not have to worry about being affected for a long time, but it's not so friendly to everything around him.
The Dementor's body was mixed with several potion materials, and after being infected with chaos and madness, it began to distort.
In the eyes of the Weasley brothers, the moment the Dementors fell, both Nicks and Cedric were immobilized, and then the two knelt down.
At the same time, the Dementors in mid-air had a problem, and they didn't fall lightly. Zhang Fang and claws were like a drowning man, struggling a few times to no avail and then contracting, his arms instantly returned to his chest, and the cloak behind him wrapped his whole body, constantly collapsing, turning into a small black ball.
The ball exudes a chill, and under the ball, Knicks and Cedric's hair and eyebrows are frosty, and their lips tremble, as if they are in a blizzard.
The grass around them withered and rotted. The scope is constantly expanding. Invisible madness also expands with withering and decaying.
Cedric was the first to suffer, the Dementor attack plunged him into darkness and despair, the chaos and madness made him feel a lot better, but he was affected by the madness and saw countless visions.
I feel better, but my physical condition is a little bad. Flesh sprouts continue to grow on his body, and they look like insects, and several transparent rings can be faintly seen. The granulation grows and then freezes, and the subsequent granulation continues to grow, causing the frozen part to fall to the ground, and then wither and curl into a mass of rotten flesh.
Cedri overcomes the potion that has used the wrong sequence, and is distorted by the madness in the mind of the Nix.
The twins lost their attention to this horrific scene, and drew their wands tremblingly, trying to launch fireworks for help and ask the professor to come and solve it.
"Stand back, kids." A voice rang out behind the two.
They looked back and it was Albus Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took a few steps forward, and the withering plants on the ground made him understand that something bad was spreading. He discovered that there was a plant alive in the withered circle, as if it had been used as potion material by the Knicks, but it was twisting and mutating, becoming more and more unrecognizable.
Dumbledore had a conjecture that what was used as a potion material by the Knicks would be exempt from blight, and the others would simply wither and die, while Cedric had drunk potions so he was just aberrations and would not wither and die.
After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore cautiously reached into the circle. A strange sensation came from the hand, as if the hand suddenly had a mind of its own and wanted to be independent from the body.
He realizes that Cedric and the Knicks must be rescued as soon as possible, and their lives will be in danger after a long time.
Upon closer inspection, Dumbledore decided that the problem was with the deformed Dementor, withdrew his hand, drew his wand, and waved it lightly at the Dementor, sending a spell flying towards the deformed Dementor.
The spell hit the black ball that the Dementor had turned into, but it had no effect, and it was still in mid-air.
Thinking of Ms. Gray's words, the indescribable form was to use the Knicks as an anchor to enter the world, and Dumbledore waved his wand at the Knicks.
"Fainted."
The Knicks fall to the ground unconscious, the source of madness disappears, and everything around him stops. Cedric described it as withered, shaking and falling to the ground.
Behind the Knicks, the Dementor Black Ball lost its strength and fell to the ground with a "snap".
Dumbledore tentatively stepped into the withering circle, and the feeling of a limb fleeing was gone. He walked over to the Knicks and Cedric to check them out.
Nix didn't have much of a problem, but he was knocked unconscious by his spell, and Cedric was a little more serious, his body was like years of malnutrition, and he was forced to have sex with a few young ladies, and the deficit was serious and needed to be made up.
The twins said dryly, "Headmaster Dumbledore, are they alright?" ”
Dumbledore: "It's alright, just bring them back to Madam Pomfrey." ”
George carried Knicks on his back, and Fred carried Cedric into the secret passage. After some distance, Fred said, "George, Cedric doesn't seem quite right, he's too light. ”
"I'm more worried about Knicks, he's been attacked by Dementors, and I don't know if his soul has been sucked away."
The two of them led people to the infirmary with worried faces, and after Madam Pomfrey's examination, she told the twins that they were okay and told them to go back first and visit the patient tomorrow.
Dumbledore stayed put, observing the distorted black orb.
Ms. Gray slowly fell: "Anything to gain?" ”
"You're right, he's too dangerous, and just a little emotional leak can cause big trouble."
"And do you still have to carry out your plan?" Ms. Gray asked.
Dumbledore thought for a while and said, "Go on, since the people around Knicks are fine, it means that he can't leave Knicks on his own initiative, and he won't be fine if he doesn't connect with Knicks's brain." ”
"But you want to ......," Miss Gray said when Dumbledore interrupted her.
"It's okay, Helena, Occlumency can help, and it would be better if Knicks could, cut off his prying eyes."
At first, Dumbledore thought that someone had used the Time Turner to never return to the present to tell Nyx everything and teach him about Potions.
When Lady Gray drinks the potion, she dismisses his speculation and discovers that the Nyx is some unspeakable anchor who tempts him to teach him about potions, presumably with the intention of entering the world. If the Knicks could do Occlumency, they would be able to make the indescribable lose their anchor and be unable to locate.
Looking at the dementor wreckage on the ground, Dumbledore was torn between whether to solve the problem once and for all. He sighed and gave up his inner thoughts, which had too much influence on the students' hands-on.
It means that Hogwarts is no longer safe, and he no longer guards the peace, and all wizards will be afraid and worried that the children who stay at Hogwarts will be harmed, and there will be turmoil in the wizarding world.
Putting away the two Dementor remains, Dumbledore walked into the secret passage, still weighing in his heart which was more harmful to let Nix be tempted or the turmoil in the wizarding world.
