Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

Chapter 54 The Reverse Tree

After the crow disappeared, Sirius stood there at a loss.

His mind was in a mess, with suspicion, shock, confusion, regret...all the emotions mixed together, but when he tasted them carefully, there was only bitterness left.

I don't know how long it took, but Sirius sighed with a complicated mood.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the huge library in front of him, with a different light in his eyes than before.

······

The coin has two sides, and the front and back are flipped.

At this time, the crow that disappeared in front of Sirius appeared in an empty bedroom on the fourth floor of the Black House.

And as soon as it emerged from the air, it immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Sirius's intuition was not wrong, and something was indeed wrong with it.

But that's not a bad thing, since the reason the state is off is that it accidentally triggers the sight.

Therefore, it made a prompt decision and prepared to seize this hard-won opportunity and experience the mystery...

In fact, it had the opportunity to experience the horizon prophecy "personally" before that - the time it "parasitized" Trelawny.

However, at that time, its attention was mainly focused on the inheritance of the Trelawney family, and that was the first time it "parasitized". It did not have a good grasp of the ability to "parasitize", plus the three Harrys Monitoring, and finally weighing various situations, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, he cautiously gave up the opportunity, but waited for Trelawney to be backlashed by the sight and lose the ability to resist before proceeding to "parasitize".

But it was not completely without gain. At least it felt the residual effects of a vision backlash.

That was a great inspiration to the state when it first grasped the horizon prophecy.

Therefore, this time when it felt that the boundary between the spirit body and the physical body had become blurred, as if all the sensations in the body were merged into one, leaving only a magical vision, it immediately thought of the vision.

At this moment, the crow, who was sleeping to fully focus on the field of vision, did not see some broken pictures or directly obtain some revelations as recorded in Cassandra Trelawney's notes, but was in deep sleep. The moment we entered the unknown territory, we were washed away by many incomprehensible symbols.

Those symbols are very vague, making it difficult to see the details. It seems that they are no longer flat or three-dimensional and can be described. The crow becomes dizzy after just one glance, his thinking is confused, and it is difficult to control his mental state.

This makes it difficult to maintain the horizon, which inevitably begins to collapse.

At the same time, Crow could feel as if his soul was being sucked in inch by inch by a black hole, and an indescribable sense of restraint filled his heart.

But the next second, this feeling of restraint disappeared. After all, its body and spirit were in perfect harmony.

But as the crow gradually regained consciousness, the vision that had lost its foundation finally ushered in a complete collapse.

But at the moment when he was excluded from the mysterious realm, Crow unexpectedly captured an extremely clear picture:

It was a tall, upside-down tree that seemed to be made of misty light, just like the projection of an unimaginable, indescribable towering tree——

At the top of the projection, the diffused tree roots formed a shape like half of the sun's ring, and emitted wisps of real and illusory dark light that seemed to contain all colors and all possibilities;

On the slender body, there are several bare, asymmetrical, and weird-shaped forked branches. But if you look closely, you will find that those branches seem to be countercurrents that are difficult to describe in words and branch out into countless tributaries. the long river of waves;

The tree crown at the bottom is connected to a whole starry sky, like the shadow cast by a giant tree, and the dense nebulae like cracks in the starry sky correspond to the veins on the leaves;

At the same time, there are clusters of amorphous vortices rotating irregularly on the surface of the upside down tree, which makes the whole tree seem to come alive all of a sudden, becoming a mysterious and majestic existence.

Suddenly, at the moment when the crow saw this picture clearly, it felt that the unknown existence in the picture cast a substantial "look" at it and outside the picture!

The picture "in front of me" suddenly shattered. The crow felt as if it had been hit hard, and let out a very heavy groan, and opened its eyes uncontrollably.

It looked directly at the great existence that should not be looked at directly!

The next second, an unstoppable change occurred, and Amon transformed directly back into human form, lying on his back on the ground.

He raised his head slightly, and small cracks suddenly appeared on the monocle worn on his right eye.

In the air, illusory rays of light stretched out and connected to his body.

Immediately afterwards, these lights were like the mouthparts of insects, and began to squirm and suck Amon.

Amon seemed to have shrunk, and his whole body began to shrink in proportion.

Life, soul, magic... everything about him disappeared as quickly as if it was taken back by the original creator.

If this trend continues, in less than two seconds, Amon's existence will completely disappear, all traces will be erased, and no one will remember him, as if he has never been in this world.

But the strange thing is that even at this critical moment of life and death, there is still no panic on Amon's face, and he still maintains a smile after his face gradually shrinks.

The next moment, a miracle happened!

The strange lights suddenly cut off, and Amon's body quickly grew in size.

In just a few seconds, Amon returned to his original appearance.

However, the crystal monocle still looked damaged.

Amon slowly got up from the ground without changing his expression, and lightly shook the wizard's robe. The wizard's robe was instantly clean.

Then he reached out and stroked the monocle of his right eye. After a few seconds of silence, he whispered two words:

"The reverse growth tree."

Then there was another silence.

This word is the knowledge Amon just gained from that picture - the only knowledge.

Amon had some guesses about the identity of the strange upside-down tree in the picture he saw.

That's why he doesn't understand why he only gets one name.

After all, with his current status, if he "sees" that kind of thing, he will either directly transform into a monster, or he will have his head stuffed with a large amount of useful or useless knowledge, and then transform into a monster. In other words, he should simply transform into a monster. No time to think and react.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

This abnormal situation is like a beacon in the darkness, as if it is specially designed to remind Amon.

Therefore, Amon was not panicked at all.

For him at that time, he had to either win the bet and survive this sudden crisis, or lose the bet and lose everything.

This is very exciting and interesting, just like a roulette with only one chance: a person takes a revolver and puts one or more bullets in it. After spinning the wheel at will, he closes the wheel and presses the button against his temple. Pull the trigger, take a shot, and if you survive, you'll get a huge bonus.

Of course, normally, Amon would never let the situation slide into such a dangerous situation.

But what happened this time was too unbelievable, far beyond what Amon could have expected - the divination seemed to be wild and completely unrealistic, but in fact it was very "realistic" because the information and personality were divination. Fundamentally, any form of divination cannot be separated from these two points, and the latter is the source of backlash for divination.

In this world, there are almost no wizards or magic items higher than Amon.

As for anti-divination methods, if you want to achieve the level of counterattacking the fortune-teller, you also need to use personality.

Therefore, Amon basically did not consider the risks of divination - in fact, Amon did not have no guesses about some things, but the problem was still that the gap was too big, and some things could not be organically connected.

Even now when I think about it, it feels like I was hit by a meteorite when I went out to play soy sauce. It was so ridiculous and suffocating!
