Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 114: The broken soul
It is indeed a troublesome thing to go through the discharge formalities suddenly. Maca waited for a long time at the door of the "Snow Witch" before finally waiting for Celine.
When Maca saw Celine, her mother was floating beside her, showing no sign of waking up.
"Come in..." Celine said, opening the door with the key.
The layout of "Snow Witch" has not changed, but the tables and chairs inside have been covered with a thin layer of dust. Once the house is unoccupied, it will soon become like this.
Combined with the current situation of the owner of this private restaurant, it is easy to give people the illusion that "the house and people are decadent together".
followed Celine to the second floor, which was an arc-shaped corridor extending out against the wall. On one side is the door, and on the other side is the carved wooden handrail that can see the hall downstairs.
The first thing that catches the eye is the various souvenirs in the gallery. They are produced all over the world, along the long corridor, souvenirs are also displayed in front of Maca from new to old one by one.
Each of those souvenirs seemed to tell of Celine's mother's splendid life.
At the end of the corridor, a portrait is hanging. When Maca walked up to it, the woman inside gave him a peaceful smile.
"That's a self-portrait of my mother when she was young..." Celine said, "Please here."
As she said, she opened the wooden door of the last room. It seems that this is her mother's bedroom.
When Maca glanced in the bedroom for the first time, he didn't have many accidents.
There is nothing else here, except for the plain single bed and a dressing table, all other places where things can be put are cleverly arranged with all kinds of wonderful souvenirs.
Probably, this is Celine's mother's only hobby in her life.
Maca helped Celine lift the quilt, and then Celine put her mother on the bed carefully. At this time, Maca took out a bottle of tonic and poured it into Celine's mother.
"This will keep her stamina so that she can be checked more safely..." Maca explained, "Well, she can swallow on her own."
After , he continued: "Let your mother take a break and let the potion work its due role. Let's go out first..."
"Sorry, I think I'd better use the curse as little as possible outside the school-you move the tables and chairs first, we need a large enough space." Maca pointed to the middle of the hall. Opened his mouth and said.
Celine immediately waved his wand when he heard it, and used a floating spell to stack the tables and chairs against the wall.
"Is that enough? If it's not enough, I can get rid of the bar--"
"No, that's enough." As Maca said, she walked to the edge of the hall and started to take things out.
includes a thick notebook, several rolls of blank parchment, quill and ink bottles, his self-made fountain pen, and several potions bottles of different models.
He is obviously about to start drawing the rune pattern he figured out by himself again, the kind of rune pattern that looks like a Muggle circuit diagram.
"You can sit for a while, or go to your mother's place to watch-I know you should be very worried," Maca said, "When I'm done, I will call you."
Celine hesitated, then nodded silently.
Maca didn't care about her either, but leaned over and lay down on the floor, flipping through her hands and pondering carefully.
The steps to be done this time are not much different from what he did last time. It's just been a while since the first attempt, and during this period, Maca also checked his soul several times.
At this moment, there have been a lot of improvements in the structure of the formation and the combination of runes.
What he has to do now is to fine-tune the data for Celine's mother.
Not long after, he drew a rune pattern on a blank parchment paper that suits Celine's mother's needs. In terms of its accuracy, compared to the first time, obviously it has made a lot of progress.
After many calculations, Maca poured a whole bottle of mercury-like liquid with a bright metallic color in the center of the hall. After that, the liquid spread quickly, and quickly flowed throughout the hall.
Suddenly, the floor of the hall was completely covered by this liquid, as if the entire floor had become a huge mirror.
After pouring the liquid, the Maca immediately ran to the wall-he had to run away while the liquid hadn't solidified, so as not to leave footprints and affect the formation of the formation for a while.
After , he began to dispense the ink needed to draw the pattern.
Time is passing bit by bit...
The Maca who has entered the state is highly concentrated, and habitually ignores the passage of time completely. It was not until he had prepared the ink and finished drawing the entire pattern, only then did he discover that there were several plates of cold food on the steps of the stairs.
Maca subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the corridor on the second floor, only to see Celine lying on the carved wooden handrails, silently looking at the mirror-like floor of the hall.
On that floor, there was a purple-black rune pattern that seemed to have no pattern at all, with mysterious blue fluorescence occasionally looming.
"Bring your mother down, here is ready." Maca called to her.
Celine regained consciousness, agreed, then turned around and walked quickly into the bedroom.
ten minutes later...
"No matter what happens, don't be too nervous, I know in my heart. If something happens, I'm ready to stop checking..."
Maca carefully told Celine to ensure that she would not suddenly rush up after the formation was opened for a while.
At this time, Celine’s mother is lying flat at a certain node on the array. On the mirror surface around her, complex purple-black lines and various strange symbols are connected to each other, which looks like It's a mysterious magic ritual.
"...Okay, just stand behind and watch. I'm about to start."
After all, Maca took a step forward, and his left and right feet respectively stepped on the only gap in the entire formation-he still has not solved the magic source problem of the formation. As a last resort, this role of supplying magic power It can only be borne by him himself.
At the moment when Maca’s other foot stepped on it, those symbols and lines seemed to be alive, twisted, trembling and floating, bursting out with a mysterious blue brilliance, covering the entire hall All shine brightly.
Especially under the action of the mirrored floor, the light appears extraordinarily bright, with runes and magic lines floating up and down, looking wonderful.
But at the next moment, in the mirror under Celine's mother, a black mist is slowly forming...
Because the current formation has been improved many times by Maca, the input of magic power is not as fast and massive as the first time, so that the formation of the skull becomes much slower.
Celine’s mother is old after all, and the soul is very likely to be damaged. If the impact is over the meeting, the soul will completely rush out of the body.
When the time comes, it will be difficult to plug it back in again.
After a while, a skull composed of black fog finally formed in the mirror. It slowly opened its jaw and let out a faint growl.
Celine clenched her fists tightly behind her, staring at this mysterious and frightening scene without blinking, and forcibly resisted her own voice.
The skull was formed just below her mother, and the hollow mouth was directly facing her mother, as if to swallow her.
This scene of , Celine will probably be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
In the silent shout of the skull, a humanoid figure floated out of Celine's mother.
No, to be precise, a "half" humanoid figure.
"...it's already mutilated." Maca frowned, staring at the phantom.
But under careful observation, he immediately found something wrong--the phantom was incomplete, yes, but at some of the fractures, you could faintly see strands of black smoke entangled, those things seemed to be ...
"Swallow the soul?" Maca muttered to herself, "...what is that?"
Those black smoke that can be attached to the soul are obviously not ordinary things. After thinking about it, he took a step back for the time being and released the operation of the formation.
Immediately, the light gradually dimmed, the skull immediately disappeared without a trace, and the mutilated soul of Celine's mother returned to the body.
"Celine," said Maca, "tell me about the experience of you and your mother in the United States at that time, the more detailed the better! Especially for some special places or some weird items~IndoMTL.com~Celine At this moment, I haven’t recovered from the shock. I heard Maca speaking at this moment, but I didn’t have time to react for a while.
"Celine?"
"Oh, sorry—" She was shocked, turned her head and looked at Maca blankly, "What did you say?"
……
On the other side, Hogwarts Castle, in the Gryffindor common room.
"Ron, don’t worry, Shaban must have ran there all of a sudden, and he will show up by himself soon..."
Harry is comforting his friend, and Hermione is not here for now.
"It's sleepy all day long, where can it go!" Ron didn't believe it at all. He had been worried about whether Crookshanks was chasing Zebra again—even he had eaten it!
"It's okay, at least these days Hermione has always been holding Crookshanks, it has no chance to run out to find the spots." The comfort just now was not unsuccessful, but Harry was not discouraged, this time he chose to retire Be second.
"Maybe there are other cats?" Ron couldn't help but said, "It's like...like...like Mrs. Loris!"
"Filch's cat doesn't like to catch mice." Harry immediately said, "It only likes to look for students who violate disciplines everywhere, and then report it to its owner!"
"But...but..." Ron fidgeted nervously.
"Stop it!" Harry persuaded, "Or, let's look for it again! Corridors, other dormitories, or some other places, okay?"
"You're right, we should look for it again..." Ron stood up abruptly, and ran up the stairs as he said, "Oh—poor Scab!"
Harry looked at Ron’s back and shrugged helplessly, "He looks like Hagrid now!"
