Chapter 197： 1 other soul

In the middle of the night, Hogwarts Castle was empty, and Filch, the administrator who was patrolling every day, was still lying on the bed in the infirmary. Professor Sprout's mandrake is not yet mature, and Mr. Admin will have to wait until the end of the semester to continue wrestling with the students.

However, since the news of Sean's disappearance has spread all over the castle, the students who witnessed the corpse of the basilisk did not dare to come out and hang out in the middle of the night.

Sean walked fast in the silent stone corridor, his direction was Professor Dumbledore's office.

He just thought of an excuse, that is, he didn't know if Mr. Principal would believe it.

However, before he could reach the eighth floor, after passing through the hall of the auditorium, he happened to meet three people.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Scamander.

"Merlin's beard! Sean!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed in disbelief.

"Oh, professors, good evening." Sean responded awkwardly.

He didn't expect that in the middle of the night, several professors didn't sleep, and it seemed that they had just walked out of the staff lounge.

The three professors almost ran over, and they carefully inspected Sean's body while muttering "Thank God..." in their mouths.

"Shaun, where have you been?!" Professor Flitwick screamed.

He had just cast several spells in a row, all of which were to strengthen the body. At this moment, his wand was still shining. It was a courage spell, which could effectively counteract the weak state, and had a certain effect on curse spells. repression.

Feeling a warm current rising up in his body, Sean's body that was weak and cold suddenly warmed up.

"Thank you for the spell, Professor Flitwick, I feel better," Sean thanked.

Professor McGonagall is carefully examining Sean for any injuries, but apart from the haggard face caused by not eating for a long time, Sean is actually fine.

The favor of unicorns can replenish energy, but the human body still needs food and water.

"Sean, where have you been?" Seeing that there was no big problem with him, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in a serious language.

"Oh...Actually, I don't know it myself," Sean scratched his hair helplessly, "I seem to have accidentally entered a secret room in the castle, and then I passed out."

"The secret room?" Upon hearing this word, the expressions of several professors became serious.

Of course, more importantly, Sean was in a coma.

Professor McGonagall asked Sean to explain everything without asking questions. She took Sean's hand and walked towards the infirmary.

"I hope Poppy hasn't slept yet... I have to ask her to check your body right away. Newt, please go and inform Albus that he probably hasn't slept at this time."

"Professor, actually, I don't think I have a big problem... I'm just a little hungry. Can I have something to eat first?" Sean was very clear about his physical condition, and he didn't want to bother Madam Pomfrey anymore.

The point is that Madam Pomfrey will most likely let him stay in the hospital to rest and observe the situation - to be honest, the beds in the infirmary are not very comfortable...

"No, many times, there will be dark wounds in people's bodies, but they don't know it. Moreover, some unknown spells will not be revealed on the surface, you must check." Professor McGonagall refused him sternly.

"Oh, okay..." Sean, who knew Professor McGonagall's temper, had no choice but to be pulled to the infirmary.

Madam Pomfrey was apparently asleep, and when Professor McGonagall called her, she had just put a robe over the silk nightgown.

However, her drowsiness did not affect her professional ability. After a careful examination, Madam Pomfrey said, "No problem, but, Minerva, you are right, I think Mr. Wallop should be kept in the hospital. It's better to observe overnight."

"Then can I eat something first..." Sean, who was sitting on the hospital bed, said pitifully.

Professor McGonagall looked at Madam Pomfrey, and after the latter nodded, she said, "I have informed the kitchen, and your food will be ready in a while."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

After waiting for a while, the food was delivered. However, before Sean could separate the fragrant pie, two figures appeared at the door of the infirmary.

Newt came with Dumbledore.

It was the first time Sean saw Dumbledore's expression so complicated, he walked quickly to Sean and grabbed his wrist.

Dumbledore's hands were strong, even a little rough, and the food that Sean had just grabbed fell back onto the plate.

my pie...

Madam Pomfrey subconsciously said, "Albus, you can't treat my patient like this, he..."

Professor McGonagall stopped what she was going to say next, and the ward fell silent.

Dumbledore didn't look at Sean, his right hand grabbed Sean's wrist, and the left hand hidden in the robe seemed to be doing something.

The sharp-eyed Sean found that Dumbledore's left hand seemed to be drawing some kind of symbol.

Runevan... Sean understood at once, this should be some kind of ancient magic of checking type.

His current magical talent is outrageous, and ordinary magic spells can instinctively understand the trajectory of magic power, except for the magic medicine that is not a magic spell, the hopeless rune...

Dumbledore's actions Sean can't understand at all, um, it proves to be runes...

After a while, Dumbledore let go of his hand and looked at Sean.

He smiled: "Sean, it looks like you're fine."

"Oh," Sean blinked, "that couldn't be better."

Dumbledore turned to look at the others, and said softly, "I'm sorry, everyone, but can you give me some alone time with Sean?"

The other professors looked at each other and dragged Madam Pomfrey out of the infirmary.

"Okay, Sean," Dumbledore sat on the edge of the bed, "you can enjoy your food, by the way, tell me about your experience during this time?"

Sean nodded, he took a bite of the fluffy and fragrant pie, chewed it a few times and swallowed it quickly.

Feeling the delicious taste on the taste buds and the hungry moan in the stomach, Sean swallowed and said, "I seem to have strayed into a certain space..."

Dumbledore nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"I have almost no memory of this time, I passed out and saw something..."

Sean let out a breath, thought about his words, and said: "I was on an empty island, but it was strange, where the clothes I was wearing were not the clothes I am wearing now, and it felt strange to me there. ...intimate and comfortable. However, below the sky island is the magma earth, all the ground is magma, it gives me a bad feeling there, like a lot of negative emotions gathered together... When I wake up When I came, I was already lying in the castle..."

Sean said the reason he thought of, that is, the wonderful place in his body-the place where 'arrogance' resides.

This is not just to hide his experience this time, Sean is going to use this to reveal a little bit about what's going on in his body. He knew nothing about this situation, and this ancient knowledge, apparently Dumbledore knew more than he did.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Dumbledore frowned and fell into deep thought.

Sean stuffed the pie in his mouth, trying to keep his swallowing voice as low as possible.

After a while, Dumbledore said slowly, "Sean, that's probably the world in your soul."

Sean swallowed the last bit of food, and nodded after licking his lips. In the soul world, he had already had this idea.

Dumbledore continued: "You should also understand your own particularity... In fact, I have been thinking about a problem for a long time."

His lake blue eyes met Sean's: "I was thinking, what is the essence of 'arrogance'?"

"Essence?" Sean frowned, this was a question he hadn't thought about.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "I originally thought that it was a special bloodline or some kind of powerful dark force that resides in your body, but according to your description, I have a bold idea... "

He took a deep look at Sean, and his voice suddenly contained an intractable meaning.

"'Pride,' maybe another soul..."

Sean stayed where he was. He never thought that Dumbledore would come to such a conclusion.

The power in his body is another soul... Sean looked down at his body almost uncontrollably.

Dumbledore continued: "Remember the Blurred Vision I mentioned to you? I told you that the Blurred Vision is a place between reality and the underworld, where there are often only undecided souls and various Strange magical creatures. Beyond the key, the Mirage is inaccessible."

"If it is described in inaccurate terms, that is, as a wizard, you can often see the blurred illusion only after you die - yes, except for extremely special circumstances, living people can't see the blurred illusion. ."

Sean took a deep breath, he understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"Professor, are you saying that the place I entered is not only my soul world, but also a blurred illusion?"

Dumbledore nodded: "It's just a guess, but it's very likely - given your particularity, I tend to think that the world you entered is actually a part of the illusion that is exclusive to you."

"Remember the prophecy? 'Guilty is born from darkness', in the wizarding world, most people believe that the power of darkness comes from various negative emotions in the human world, and its essence comes from the underworld. So, if 'arrogance' is true From the underworld, it makes sense that the world in your body belongs to the blurred illusion."

Sean nodded with an ugly face. He originally thought that 'arrogance' was a huge force that was uncontrollable, but there was another soul in his body, which made it a little difficult to accept.

The power of thinking and another soul are two completely different concepts.

Dumbledore smiled: "Don't worry about it, Sean, the more thoroughly we understand the nature of things, the stronger the ability to solve problems, the more you understand 'arrogance', the more you can control his chances. The more. It's actually a good thing to think elsewhere when it's already happening isn't it?"

He spread his hands: "No matter what, you are still Sean Wallup now, and you will always be Sean Wallup in the future, you are you."

Sean smiled bitterly: "Professor, that's right, it's just a little bit heavy."

"Then let's change the subject," said Dumbledore with a smile, "I didn't expect you to stray into some mysterious space at Hogwarts - please forgive me, there are too many secrets in this castle, and I too Can't tell all. Thankfully, you're fine, and you even have a good appetite."

Looking at the bare plate, Sean scratched his head: "Oh, I'm starving, and the pie is delicious."

"It's best not to eat too much after you've been hungry for a while - but it looks like you don't need to be in moderation. Later, when you return to the lounge, another supper will be delivered."

"That's great—oh, professor, you mean, I can go back to the lounge now?"

"Of course, you can go back and have a good sleep - I have to go out, because of your disappearance, some misunderstandings need to be cleared up." Dumbledore stood up straight.

"Misunderstanding?" Sean asked suspiciously.

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly: "The misunderstanding is quite serious. An old man who played on the topic picked a few unlucky ones, but things should still be within the controllable range... It should be..."

After saying this, Dumbledore didn't explain any further. After he said hello, he disappeared into the firelight.

"Eh... Professor?" Sean was dumbfounded. He hadn't had time to talk about the fact that he used the Phoenix Tail Feather but didn't respond. Who knew Dumbledore would retreat so quickly.

Forget it, wait until tomorrow, just in time to talk to Professor Dumbledore about wanting to learn Runewen... Sean muttered.

After greeting several professors, Sean walked towards Ravenclaw's tower.

As he ascended the final sections of the spiral staircase, he heard two familiar voices.

"It's been a week, Hermione..." There was sadness in the soft, soft voice.

"He's just gone... just gone..." The other voice was firm and serious, but downcast at the end.

Hermione and Daisy? Why are these two still outside the lounge...

Sean took a few steps up and saw two girls at the door of the lounge.

The two of them looked in a bad mood, and they were all listless, and even Sean behind him couldn't find it.

"Let's go to the forbidden book area tomorrow and look for it. Maybe there is a book that records that Hogwarts has other secret rooms..." Hermione said.

Daisy nodded vigorously, then stepped forward and pulled the knocker.

"In the cycle of the world, which comes first, life or death?"

Both frowned and thought.

At this moment, another boy's gentle voice rang out.

"The two loop infinitely, establish rules, and create the world."

The door opened, and Hermione and Daisy turned their heads in unison.

"Sean!"

"Sean!"

Two surprise voices sounded together.
