"... please take a break here. I'll ask the people to bring you some food and drinks... You may know that our family doesn't need to eat, but the master occasionally tastes some of your human food, and there are some reserves in the storeroom. Oh, if you feel bored, you can also go out for a walk - the master told you before you left. You are distinguished guests, There can be no neglect, and we are not allowed to sit on anything that restricts your movement. "

When the corpse who claimed to have worked in Diagon Lane sent everyone to a side hall of Buckingham Palace, he left temporarily, leaving only Hermione and his party sitting in the corner of the former royal hall and looking at all kinds of magnificence around, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Hermione, do I... want to look around?"

Harry hesitated to see that there was obviously no corpse surveillance around him. Originally, according to the plan, he should explore in the invisible state in order to find some secrets that may exist among the zombies.

However, I met the Lord of the corpse once before, and was almost scared back to the team directly. Now, they are overwhelmed by the extra "tolerant" attitude of the corpse family.

In addition, it is very likely that the Lord of the corpse is Marca. The idea has been swirling in his mind. He really doesn't know what to do.

"Well," Hermione frowned and shook her head, "anyway... Sit down first! The Promethean just said he would send something, at least until he came."

"... OK."

Harry paused for a few seconds before nodding and answering.

So the huge side hall became quiet again.

In fact, many people in the team are still thinking about what the corpse who just brought them over said - if they remember correctly, this may be the first corpse individual they met who still retains some clear memory fragments. Although it is said that in fact, we only vaguely remember that there once seemed to be such a clerk in Licheng Bookstore who had worked there for some time.

……

Just as Hermione and her party had just entered the city and were still on their way to Buckingham Palace, the corpse said something casually——

"In fact, I don't remember it very clearly, but I do remember Licheng bookstore. It seemed that the school was about to open and the bookstore needed manpower, so I went there to work as a temporary worker... If I still remember, it may be because... At that time, a batch of difficult magic books came into the store - I don't know which Professor of Hogwarts was special It's terrible to use a book that can bite people! I was badly bitten at that time... Hehe, it doesn't seem very pleasant to remember these memories now. "

"Oh, don't worry too much. I don't remember any of the guests... You said you might have seen me? No, I don't know... I only left some fragments in my head."

"Well... It seems that I used to be a wizarding wizard with poor conditions at home. I don't know if I didn't have a father since childhood. At least there is only a sick mother in my memory... But I can't find a long-term job and life is difficult..."

"In fact, I occasionally think that there may be many people in the world who can retain some memory fragments - just like me. Because you know, I climbed out of the cemetery, which seems a little different from the birth process of the first people... The master said that I may have died before the 'disaster' you said, but I was lucky to get the chance. "

"Yes, the master also said that people like me may retain some memory fragments, and they are more likely to produce wisdom and more complete emotions... I don't know why. After all, I didn't seem to be a smart human before I was born, and I'm not smart now... Do you call us' living corpses'? It's a very appropriate title, but I I don't think we'll like it. "

"... hmm? The professor who ordered the book is called 'Hagrid'? Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have any impression... But don't care too much. After all, I don't miss such a life. If there are people like me, maybe they will care more about their past life, but I don't care much personally... You know, I've had a good life before It's not good. Sometimes I have to go hungry in order to buy magic medicine for my mother. Now, at least I won't be hungry. "

"Of course, my mother died... It doesn't matter. It's just that fate made a difficult choice for me that I can't do. Her illness is too serious and she can only be tortured alive. Maybe for her, going away is a relief... But she can't give up me, and I can't give up her."

"I don't know. I don't remember things related to others, and I didn't seem to have much contact with others before."

From the time the corpse suddenly opened his mouth and talked about his life, he seemed to have been opened up and said a lot at once. His words may not be able to match up from beginning to end, which shows that his memory is really just fragments, and he can't remember too much intermittently.

But obviously, he really wants to keep these in his heart... Or only their "master" has listened to them. However, if some things are held in my heart for too long, the more I will have the desire to tell.

In fact, most living corpses can't control their own desires. Because of themselves, they often have stronger desires and action. This name still retains some memories that once belonged to human beings, which is obviously the same.

However, his desire is just telling, and he doesn't need Hermione and them to do anything else for him. When the words accumulated in his heart were finished, he left without taking away a trace of dust.

As if, at that moment, completely cut off the past.

This made Hermione feel a little uncomfortable. She couldn't tell what it was like. Maybe it's not willing to let a former human turn to the side of the living corpse, or maybe it's some other reason.

In short, it was precisely because of the corpse that everyone seemed a little silent. After a while, the corpse came back and everyone perked up again... Hermione seemed to want to say something to him.
