Chapter 169: Upgraded Imperius Curse
"Ho!"
Breaking free from the quagmire called nothingness, as if back on the water, Christine instinctively took a sharp breath, her eyes wide open. At this moment, a teardrop jumped out of his eye socket and rolled down.
"Tick knock. ”
Her head was blank, and in a trance, she subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. It was a cup of rippling hot cocoa, held in his right hand. Tangible warmth keeps pouring into the palms of your hands.
At this moment, her nose was sore.
"Christine, Evans, come and see!"
This is the voice of grandma, she suddenly looked up, and in front of the TV, there was a white and chubby doll, struggling to hold on to the ground, trying to stand up.
"What's wrong? Grandma. ”
A crisp voice sounded, and the camera turned to the upstairs, and she saw her younger self walk out of the door and see her holding little Evans, whose face was full of freckles, and watched them walk downstairs.
"Quick, turn back! Kevin is getting up!"
"Oh, good!"
Next to the camera is the voice of Grandpa George.
"Oh my!"
When the camera pans back, the doll is gone. The grandmother on the side, holding her cheeks in her hands and opening her mouth wide.
"Where's Kevin?"
Next to the camera, Grandpa asked.
"Oh, Kevin!" was his own voice.
"Wow!" followed by the voice of little Evans.
The camera quickly rotated and focused on the stairs. There, when I was young, I was holding a doll that I didn't know when I threw myself into my arms, with a surprised smile on my face. Little Evans on the side was full of amazement.
"How did he get there?" Grandpa's voice rang out.
"I know, I know!" little Evans jumped to his feet excitedly, "That's how he flew over, didn't he, Kevin?" The outstretched fingers, drawing a long arc, landed on the tip of the doll's pink nose, and rubbed it teasingly.
"Babble!"
The doll kicked her legs as if dissatisfied, raised her lotus arms, and scratched her nose with her little fat hands like meat balls.
In the camera, everyone laughed. They didn't seem to care about the first signs of abnormality in the doll, in their eyes, it was just a baby who needed to be cared for, but a member of the family.
Christine laughed too, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Oh, Kevin!"
"I'm here, Christine. ”
The other hand, also surrounded by a burst of warmth, was a pair of powerful hands. Christine turned her head blankly, and she saw Kevin, looking at herself with concern. Behind him, outside the intact window panes, the gold-leafed privet branches were still covered in a thin layer of snow.
"Is this a dream?" she froze.
"No, it was just a dream. ”
An unfamiliar voice came from Kevin's other side, she turned her head along the way, and the moment she saw it, she was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Henry, no, is a scholar. She covered her mouth and corrected the salutation.
"Just call me Henry. ”
It was the man who replied, and he changed back from elven form to his previous form. This journey, what it was like when it started, and what it was like when it returned.
Christine wanted to ask why the famous scholar came here, but after coming back to her senses, another thing immediately occupied her entire mind.
"Evans ......"
She muttered, turned her head, and on her right, Evans, still with her eyes closed and her face uncertain.
"What's wrong with him......"
Recalling everything that happened in her dream, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
"He's going to be following K-Subject, 0218, on his way back to the Death Eaters' headquarters. The man laughed.
"As a scholar, you must have a way to cure him, right?" asked Kevin.
"As an academic, you don't always have a way. But as Phoenix, that's fine. ”
Facing Kevin's suddenly widening eyes, the man responded to the usual movements that he used to do when he was the patron saint, tilted his head, and blinked.
"Oh! It's you!
Kevin exclaimed, overjoyed.
"Phoenix, what do you often tell me about Phoenix?" Christine looked the man up and down, her eyes full of disbelief, "Mr. Henry, is it Phoenix?"
"It's like a fake. The man spread his hands and grinned.
Christine was speechless.
"Oh yes, Phoenix, what can you do to save Evans?"
Coming back to his senses, Kevin hurriedly asked.
"Here it is, Mr. Henry. ”
Christine was even more eager than Kevin, leaving her seat and pulling the man to Evans.
The man shook his head with a smile.
"My solution, as I said in the dream, is to erase the personality, but it is this evil personality that is erased. ”
"Then let's erase it quickly. ”
Christine couldn't wait, and the thought of the last scene in her dream made her feel uncomfortable.
"Eh, didn't I say that? The man held out his hand to Kevin.
"Huh?" Christine was dumbfounded, "You, aren't you Phoenix?"
At this time, Kevin stepped forward and walked in front of the two, beside Evans.
"I think Phoenix meant, I think, the Patronus Charm. He guessed.
"Patronus, new features have been developed?" Christine said.
"It's its original function, to banish Dementors. The man said.
"Is there any such thing as this?" Kevin said.
"This is a new spell based on the Imperius Charm with Dementor traits. The spell itself is a dementor that inhabits the soul of the person and dominates the will of the original owner. Outwardly, it is a personality that has the same memory as the original owner, but is born evil, and will only obey the wishes of the spellcaster. Due to its nature, the Patronus Charm is the most effective means of breaking it. ”
From this point of view, the spellcaster, such as Nimowen, has attained a high level of attainment, and has reached the realm of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new. If it weren't for the unexpected harvest in Ugadou before, who had completed all the deciphering work of the Runemo script at once, perhaps he would have visited the spellcaster after discovering the special situation in this Evans.
"Then use the Patronus Charm! or I'll do it. ”
After listening to the man's words, Christine focused on the last sentence, realized that the Patronus spell was effective, and followed the urging, interrupting the man's thoughts. Unlike the two men around him who focus on rational thinking, when the result is fixed, they still have the leisure to discuss their principles. Even when she realized that Evans would eventually be rescued, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Come on, Kevin. The man said.
"Hmm. ”
Kevin didn't have a wand in his hand, he used his right index finger and pressed it against Evans' forehead.
The man still remembered that in the previous dream, the spell that was high-intensity and continuous output, showing the form of lightning, was also a wandless spell.
Faced with Evans's problem, he could have used the inviolable light of creation to directly erase the spell. However, the Patronus Charm is also a good solution. What's more, he wanted to test whether Kevin could still cast spells without a wand with the relatively advanced Patronus Spell, and see if Kevin had worked hard to train himself over the years as he had before he left.
If Kevin can't do it, he will be discouraged by trivial daily life, and he will have a slack mind, only care about the quiet years in front of him, and have no intention of going to the battlefield again and fighting with others. There was no need for the man to let him go to the Dragon Continent to exercise anymore, just wipe out the disturbing Death Eaters for him.
All in all, no matter what Kevin thinks, men will do what he wants. This is the compensation of a child who created himself but suffered from being left behind.
As he thought so, Kevin's fingertips flashed with a silver glint.
Without a word, without a single movement, in less than a second when the fingertips pressed against Evans's forehead, countless silver blossoms emerged, and then submerged into Evans's body.
The brilliance is scattered, and Evans is bright throughout.
"Ahh
As if he had been struck by a blow, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he roared wildly.
The strange situation lasted for a few seconds, and Evans's voice was hoarse, but he just twitched wildly as if he had an epilepsy, and nothing else changed.
"What's going on?"
Even if he was as calm as Kevin, he was a little uneasy when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but ask. At this time, Christine had already stepped forward, hugged Evans with tears streaming down her face, and kept saying reassuring words in her mouth.
"I forgot, it's essentially a Imperius Curse. ”
The man slapped his forehead and stretched out his hand, and two figures were born and appeared in front of Evans.
"Grandpa?"
Two faces from memory suddenly appeared beside him, Kevin was stunned, and Christine was also stunned. The two didn't notice that Evans at this time also stopped convulsing, but his face kept changing, and he seemed to be extremely painful.
"Evans, you'll need your own willpower to break free from the Imperius Curse. Grandpa spoke.
"Come on, good boy, you see, our family is here, waiting for you to come back!" Grandma continued.
Evans was stunned.
At the same time, two sentences woke Kevin, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Evans had settled down a lot, and he couldn't help but look happy, and then said, "Yes, Evans, didn't you say that you would bring me a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"? As a man, how can you break your word?"
At this time, Christine also reacted.
"Evans! Grandparents love you! Everyone loves you! For our love, for grandparents, come back quickly!"
At the end of the sentence, she hugged Evans tightly, hoarse, tears raining down.
"Ho, ho, ho......"
Evans began to sway back and forth, his pupils turned up, like a drowning man, desperately panting, but he couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, the man secretly had magical powers, and then rubbed his chin and looked pensive.
"For so many years, the soul has been gnawed too badly, and the willpower is insufficient. ”
"What does that mean?" Kevin said eagerly.
It means that there is more than one stalemate, and if you want to expel it, you can't do it. ”
"What then?" Christine's face became even more anxious.
"Well, there's a way. Kevin, step up. Next, it's up to me to do so. ”
