v4 Chapter 31： My will

There are not many new things in the second week of school.

On Thursday, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Moody announced that he would take turns to recite the Imperius Curse on each of his classmates to demonstrate the magic of the spell and see if they could resist its influence.

Just as he said, there was a bang in the classroom, and all kinds of discussions suddenly appeared like a flood of mouths, surging violently.

Casting an unforgivable curse on another wizard is punishable by life imprisonment. The little wizards did not expect Moody to dare to do so.

Moody didn't pay attention, but Hajime greeted the students to take turns and recite the Imperius Curse.

Under the influence of the spell, the students made the most abnormal behavior one after another.

Blaise hopped around the classroom three times, Pansy imitated a squirrel, and Neville performed a series of amazing gymnastics movements, which he could never do under normal conditions. None of them seemed to be able to resist the spell, they all returned to normal after Moody eliminated the spell.

"Draco Malfoy," Moody said in a rumble voice, "it's your turn."

Draco shrugged and walked to the center of the classroom. Moody raised his wand, pointed at Draco, and said, "The soul is out of the body!"

Schelling noticed—the second before Moody’s chanting, Draco's eyes flashed a green light, and black energy began to emerge from his body again, and his entire temperament changed drastically, making it a lot more gloomy.

Imperius Curse had no effect on Draco. Draco stood still, looking at Moody with a smile.

What Schelling saw was that the black gas was like a smart dragon, flying around Draco's brain. At the moment the Imperius was cast, the black gas replaced Draco and was dissipated by the Imperius. .

Draco smiled contemptuously, "Professor Moody, it seems that the Imperius Curse is not as difficult to resist as you said!"

The audience fell silent. Moody frowned deeply. To be honest, he hadn't thought about this result at all.

He had thought that Draco might be able to fight the Imperius Curse with willpower, and the two might even wrestle over the will to control the mind, but he never thought that the Imperius Curse would be directly invalidated. He said nothing, waved his hand, motioned for Draco to return to his seat, and then called out the name of the next person to the list.

The next person is Schelling.

Xie Lin showed a confident smile and walked to the center of the classroom with his head swaggered.

Imperius Curse? Xie Lin sneered secretly in his heart, let you see my will!

Although Schelling has not actually cast the Imperius Curse, his understanding of the Imperius Curse can throw away this fake mood for dozens of blocks.

The true principle of Imperius Curse is to use magic to paralyze the cerebral cortex and prefrontal lobe of the human brain, so that the subject loses reason, logic and decision-making power, and is dominated by external factors that affect emotions. To put it simply, people who have lost the ability to make independent decisions will feel happy about obeying outside orders, and can't help but want to continue to indulge in the emotions that obedience brings.

The most effective way to fight against Imperius is not Occlumency. The enclosed and hidden part of Occlumency is actually human emotions (author: limbic system), not cognitive, rational, and logical abilities.

Of course, this does not mean that Occlumency is completely ineffective against Imperius. By practicing Occlumency, people can have a stronger control over their emotions, and emotions are not easily affected by the outside world.

To fight the Imperius Curse, what is needed is stronger emotion and stronger will!

When Moody chanted "The soul is out of the body", Xie Lin first felt his thoughts and worries swept away. In a certain corner of his mind, a light and fluttering sense of pleasure seemed to be bred out. But in the next second, Meredith's face flashed across Schelling's heart, and a fiery anger rose up. The extremely cold reason and calm returned to Schelling, the little flame that represented a sense of pleasure. It was extinguished before it ignited.

Schelling smiled, "Professor Moody, if it's just this level of magic, it doesn't seem as scary as you said! Is it really necessary for us to learn to resist this curse in 4th grade?"

Professor Moody’s face was ugly. Two consecutive misses made him unable to continue this way of education. He had previously said vowedly how important it is to learn to resist the Imperius Curse, blowing the power of the Imperius Curse to the sky. , Even a large number of experienced adult wizards have suffered miserably, and they were beaten twice in a row. Now it is estimated that the Imperius Curse is the same thing in the eyes of other little wizards.

He said with difficulty: "In that case, we will learn here first." He continued, "The two Mr. Malfoy successfully resisted the Imperius Curse and completely overcome it! You can ask them for advice. Experience, so that other people cannot easily control you."

The rest of the class was spent in a strange atmosphere. The classroom was quiet and no one spoke.

Moody sat on the chair next to the podium, his face uncertain, as if thinking about something.

The other little wizards didn't dare to ask questions, they all bowed their heads to make notes about resisting the Imperius Curse.

It wasn't until the end of get out of class bell rang and Moody's announced that he had left the classroom before everyone started talking again.

The little wizards of Slytherin surrounded Schelling and Draco and asked them to share their secrets. Although the little lions of Gryffindor were envious, they did not dare to ask them rashly.

Schelling looked around at the expectant little wizards around him, then looked at the corner where the Gryffindor little wizards gathered, and said indifferently: "Since Professor Moody wants us to learn this skill, I don't want to hide privately, Gryffindor’s. If you are interested, you can come over and listen. Of course, it's all voluntary and never reluctant."

Gryffindor’s little lions may not have a sense of boring knowledge, but they are quite curious about this combat-related magic. Almost all of them gathered around, and they stood consciously in Slytherin. Behind.

Xie Lin said loudly: "Tell you guys! There is actually no secret to resisting the Imperius Curse, mainly willpower. Can anyone tell me what is willpower?"

Everyone fell silent. Everyone understood the meaning of willpower, but it was not that simple to clearly state the nature of willpower.

"Thanks—" Hermione said, "Oh, I mean, classmate Malfoy, does willpower use reason to fight subconscious desires?"

As expected, it was Hermione, and the answer was straightforward.

Schelling glanced at Hermione. Hermione and his gaze briefly exchanged for a few seconds. Hermione was a little scared at first, but she was desperately cheering herself up, so she looked at Schelling firmly, with a slight gaze. No retreat.

The corners of Schelling’s mouth raised slightly. It seems that in the past summer vacation, he did not grow up just like himself!

Then he glanced at Ron again, um, it seemed that nothing changed, he was still that little kid.

"Classmate Granger is right," Xie Lin praised. "I have another understanding-will is consciousness, something that a person is willing to give up for his own goals, such as giving up sleep and playing in order to get good grades in the exam. For example..." Xie Lin's eyes gleamed, but his voice suddenly became low, "In order to protect the people around me, I have to give up a friendship..."

Schelling deliberately didn't look at Hermione's direction, but Shen Ping Amaterasu clearly reflected in his mind Hermione's red eyes and her lips tightly pressedLearning to fight against Illusion Before the curse, the most important thing is to ask your heart-what is your purpose of learning this? How much are you willing to pay for this? "

"When you have your own consciousness, you have the basis to fight against the Imperius Curse. The purpose of the Imperius Curse is to paralyze our reason, and then use our emotions to dominate us. Our best way to fight is to use stronger emotions. Get rid of the opponent's domination..."

"When someone casts the Imperius Curse, you will have a light and fluttering feeling. You will have a feeling. As long as you let go of your reason, as long as you let go of the control of your body, you will get a certain freedom of spirit. A sense of pleasure."

"At that time, you just have to think about it, if you are controlled, what are the consequences of the person you care about most, or that thing? If you are really enlightened--" Sherrington paused. , He couldn’t help but think of Meredith’s face again, and felt a pain in his heart, but his face still said blankly: “You will be angry, you will be unwilling, you will have a strong, fanatical , The desire to break free of control..."

"I'm like this, I got rid of the Imperius Curse by my will..."

Schelling came back to his senses, only to realize that the little wizards around were looking at him in awe.

"Magic is a very spiritual thing," Schelling said lightly. "The true power of a wizard comes from his heart." He glanced at Draco, and Hermione, "When you have real Enlightened and willing to gamble everything for it, I personally think that you are already a qualified wizard."

After finishing speaking, he put on the night star cloak smartly and left in the path that the little wizards voluntarily let go.
