All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 117 "The Secret of the Soul" (Revised)

The first thing that Allen thought of was naturally the Room of Requirement, and Allen was already very good at going to the Room of Requirement to do what he wanted to do.

With the thought of "I need a comfortable, quiet place to read a book", Allen walked three times in front of the tapestry of a troll beating Panama silly on the eighth floor of the castle. A door suddenly appeared in Ai. In front of Lun.

Walking in, the Requirement Room turns into a forest bookstore, a breathing reading space: green plants are spread throughout the space, and you can see different trees, flowers, and landscape sketches. Alan is very suspicious that the designers moved a corner of the Forbidden Forest into the Room of Requirement.

A bookshelf in the shape of a giant green tree is filled with books.

Allen randomly pulled out a book, and the name on the cover was "Merlin Loves Me"! Allen flipped through it casually and stuffed the book back on the shelf in a state of laughter and laughter. Which fantasy romance novel was this written by a boring wizard?

Unwilling to give up, Allen walked to another branch in the opposite direction and pulled out a book - "Cold Steel". Opening a page at random, rows of poems burst into Allen's eyes:

Heaven is always imprisoned in our suffering,

Hell is lost in our paradise.

……

The three devils didn't deserve to die like that;

Have you seen my annotation?

My friend, we will meet again!

It’s a collection of poems! Allen shook his head, stuffed the book back on the bookshelf, and gave up the idea of ​​hunting for treasure here. Let’s turn our attention back to “The Secret of the Soul” first.

Holding the book, Allen looked away from the bookshelf, looking for a suitable place to read.

I saw round rattan cushions scattered on the lush and soft grass, and there was a white rattan swing next to the wall on the right. "Next time, it seems that I need to add a setting more suitable for male readers before entering... "

Fortunately, Allen discovered that on the log floor with grass on the left side, there were extremely comfortable-looking leather armchairs and a large reading table. Above them, round chandeliers cast a moderately soft light. Beside the table, there is actually an old-fashioned bronze trumpet-flower-shaped gramophone, with some records neatly stacked aside. All this creates a quiet and comfortable reading environment for Allen.

"The only drawback is that there are no drinks. You have to bring some tea next time you come in." Rolling his eyes, Allen sat comfortably on the leather armchair and spread out "The Secret of the Soul" on the reading table.

In an instant, a piercing, blood-curdling scream pierced the peaceful silence - this book was screaming! Alan slammed it shut, but the scream didn't stop, a high, insistent, deafening tone.

"Silence!" Allen took out his wand and cast the spell at an astonishing speed. This book felt like someone was grabbing it by the throat, and the shrill voice suddenly stopped. But his arm hit the miscellaneous jewelry on the table, and the debris flew everywhere, hitting Allen's cuffs.

Allen used the repair spell and cleaning up to restore the place to its original state. Since this book was placed in the forbidden book area, it naturally has a reason for being banned, although the really advanced and dangerous methods of making black magic and Horcruxes have been banned by Dumbledore. Lido went into the principal's office.

After sitting down and being fully mentally prepared, Allen gently opened the pages of the book. With the blessing of a powerful silent spell, Allen's ears were no longer subject to abuse. Allen concentrated on reading the words and pictures in the book. In it, Allen found that although the chapters about Horcruxes had been artificially torn out, only some relevant context was left. After reading it carefully, Allen was disappointed to find that the book did not introduce anything more than what Allen already knew, and no specific implementation methods were introduced at all.

After briefly flipping through the books, Allen discovered that in addition, the books also introduced knowledge such as "second soul", "salvation of the soul", "where does life come from, and where does death go". Interestingly, a lot of knowledge is similar to the idealistic philosophy of the Muggle world.

In addition, this book is also very literary. After the author introduced the black magic about the soul, he actually had Yaxing to write a few comments.

For example, in a short poem apparently written about Horcruxes, the author wrote:

Alcohol is the best at confusing people;

Death is the most dramatic.

Immortality steps on the edge of death,

The withered lives cried one after another.

Hatred rejects God’s justice,

The darkness forgets everything

……

It wasn't until his stomach growled that Allen was shocked to realize that he was addicted to books and missed dinner. It was probably almost the curfew time, and now he had to go back to rest.

This book must have a suggestive and hypnotic effect on the soul, making people addicted to it unconsciously. Allen was secretly frightened and became more vigilant about this book.

Allen took out some snacks sent by Mrs. Harris from the system storage compartment and filled his stomach with black tea. Afterwards, he threw "Secret of the Soul" into the storage space and hurried back to the dormitory. As expected, Edward had become accustomed to his roommate's brief disappearance and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

After washing, Allen also laid himself on the soft bed, put aside all thoughts, and fell into sleep.

However, this night, Allen did not have a good sleep. Muggles were tortured to pieces; magical creatures that cried bitterly and were worse than dead; strange soul fragments; shrill and sharp screams...these sounds turned into images. He had horrific dreams one after another, engulfing Allen mercilessly.

And with Allen's mental strength, he couldn't get rid of it even though he knew it was a dream. At this time, a sentence from the book emerged in Allen's mind, "If you can't look up at the stars and embrace the light, please join me in the boundless darkness!"

Suddenly, a stream of clear water flowed from my mind to my heart, and all the restrictions collapsed in an instant, turning into snowflake-like fragments that flew away and disappeared without a trace.

The system alarm that turned into a mechanical and sharp sound made Allen not feel disgusted at all, but full of gratitude - it was the system that pulled him out of the endless nightmare, otherwise he would not have known that he would be shattered in one picture after another. How long does it take to wake up from the horrific scenes and tragic experiences of different creatures?

But what does this mean? Will everyone who reads this book be invaded by book consciousness, or will consciousness have conditions to filter out intrusions?

In this regard, Allen prefers the latter. Otherwise, if a strong man like Albus Dumbledore had read this book and been corroded by the dark power, the world would have long been plunged into war. How could it be what it is today? Mutual non-aggression and peaceful coexistence between wizards and Muggles. Although after reading some old newspapers and related books collected by the family from decades ago, Allen felt that Gettler Grindelwald’s attitude towards the law of secrecy was to a certain extent. It was said that he was right, he did predict something, but it was a pity that he was born a little early. When the Internet really developed, Allen didn't think wizards could hide as easily as now.
