Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God - Vol 7 Chapter 9
As for the world after death, the names of the world, every nation, every country, and even every sect are different.
It can be the underworld, the underworld, the secluded capital, the Huangquan Hirazaka, or the corpse soul world and the pure land.
But no matter what people call it, the only thing that can be confirmed is that it must not exist in the real world where living people live.
You simply can’t find such a vast land in the real world, and you can’t see two moons overhead at the same time.
One of them is blood red, the other pale, hanging high in the gray sky of the underworld, and they seem to be in different spaces and even the universe, and they are irrelevant.
Even though he had seen it before, seeing such a miraculous sight again, Harry couldn’t help but be amazed by it.
However, he also knew that he did not come to the underworld to swim in the mountains and waters this time.
So after calming down the confusion caused by the change of time and space, he immediately started to act. ?
Compared with the last time, the place where Harry descended this time was closer to the edge of the ruins of the castle? This can be seen from the fact that the surrounding ruins are lower.
Harry cautiously walked towards the outer side of the ruins. Along the way, not to mention the chirping of insects and birds, not even the sound of stepping on the ground, as if the whole world was surrounded by a magic called “Silence”. shrouded in array.
Of course, if you think that the entire underworld is a dead silence like this, you are very wrong.
Harry took the “Black Book of the Dead” and walked out less than a few dozen meters away, when a lower temperature suddenly hit him.
Immediately afterwards, a grotesque, eerie-looking thing slowly approached him from not far away.
? Looking from a distance, those guys were crawling on the ground like a huge, bloated shapeshifter.
When I got close, I saw this thing. It turned out to be more than a dozen different individuals, pinched together like plasticine.
Some of these individuals were dressed in medieval clothes, with a long sword in their hands, a leather armor, and no pants.
Others are dressed in modern times, holding muskets broken in two, and wearing traditional kilts.
Of course, most of them didn’t even have a piece of clothing, only a shriveled body with bones as the main body and attached parts? Air-dried muscles.
And these guys themselves are not intact, some of them have broken hands and feet, and some have a large hole in their chests, as if they were pierced by a solid shell.
Harry even saw that one of the guys was almost identical to Hogwarts “Headless Nick”, with just a little bit of flesh connecting his head to his body.
That’s right, these guys are just a group of lonely ghosts wandering in the underworld. Just by looking at their clothes, you know that they must have been dead for a long time.
However, unlike the ghosts in Hogwarts, these ghosts in the underworld do not seem to have any consciousness. They neither speak nor find fun by themselves, but only wander in this dead space. Wander again.
Harry was also taken aback when he saw these guys, too frightened to breathe.
The last time he descended into the underworld, it was in the heart of the castle ruins, where he encountered an army of ghosts that were more elite than these stragglers.
As soon as he showed up, no, he didn’t show up at all, and those ghosts rushed towards him like cats that smelled fishy.
There were even some ghosts, who shot their bows and arrows at him before they even got close, so frightened that Harry didn’t even wait a minute, and fled back to Yangshi in embarrassment.
Only later did he learn from Clark’s mouth that in front of those lonely ghosts, a soul projection like Harry with a living breath on his body can be said to be extremely attractive.
After all, yang qi is very rare in the underworld, and only the occasional living souls who have strayed into the underworld can be attached to it.
But this time, the Lonely Ghosts behaved very strangely. Facing Harry who was carrying yang energy, they turned a blind eye and drifted away from him.
Seeing the ghosts gradually disappearing, Harry breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that magic wands can’t be brought to the underworld. At this time, he only had a heavy “Black Book of the Dead” in his hand.
This thing is not bad as a shield, but as a weapon, it is not enough.
But why didn’t these ghosts attack him?
Harry was very puzzled, and suddenly, he realized that his experiment this time seemed to be a little different from the previous ones.
He looked down and found that he was actually wearing a pure black robe that seemed to absorb all the light.
Strange, when he came a few times before, he was all naked!
Harry touched the robe curiously, and found that the fabric of the robe was very silky and soft, as if touching a puddle of water.
Could it be that this thing made those lonely ghosts ignore him?
At this time in the real world, relying on the Psion’s [Mind Link] ability, Clark also successfully got in touch with Harry.
Facing Harry’s question, he explained directly: “This is – your – invisibility cloak.”
“What-invisibility-clothing?”
Perhaps because the distance is too far, there is still a delay in communication between the two.
But after hearing Clark’s words, Harry immediately understood.
He remembered that Clark had told him the story of the Three Brothers of Death before, and said that the invisibility cloak that they had inherited from the Potter family was a corner cut from the robe of the God of Death.
Since it is the leftovers from the clothes of the God of Death, it can naturally be brought to the underworld and play a role.
With the baby to protect himself, Harry naturally felt a lot more relieved.
Under Clark’s instructions, he began to look around the ruins of the castle.
After walking around for a few laps, apart from encountering a few waves of ghosts in the middle, all I saw was the dark masonry wreckage.
Not only that, because there is no sound in this underworld, and the surrounding colors and scenery are very monotonous, a sense of loneliness also began to hit Harry’s heart.
In less than half an hour, Harry had already begun to look around anxiously, and he even thought that it would be very good for some ghosts to chase him at this time.
Fortunately, Clark quickly realized this, and a warm, soothing power, along with his intermittent words, passed into Harry’s heart.
“Okay-ready, ready-execute-next step!”
Harry, who received the order, hurriedly cheered up. He turned his steps and found the least number of the group of lonely ghosts who had just met him, and then hung far behind.
After just following him for a while, he discovered that the walking rules of these ghosts are very simple, and it can even be said to be monotonous and boring.
They are like a group of machines, they will only walk repeatedly according to a fixed route, neither thirsty nor tired, nor deserting.
“That won’t work,” Harry muttered softly.
His mission for this experiment was to try to bring back a ghost from the underworld.
Only if this step is successful, in the future, after he finds his parents, he can bring them back to the world in the same way.
Harry just thought for a moment before coming up with a plan.
He opened a section first, and then secretly took off one sleeve of the invisibility cloak he was wearing.
The arms full of living breath were exposed to the air of the underworld. Among the wandering wild ghosts not far ahead, four or five ghosts soon left the team and stopped.
They shook their terrifying heads and began to look behind them.
Seeing that he had lured too many enemies, Harry hurriedly used the invisibility cloak to cover his arms again.
After those ghosts found that the tempting breath disappeared again, they turned around in disappointment, but they were already left behind.
Not long after they walked out, Harry, who had distanced himself, continued to repeat the same trick.
This time, the last of the five ghosts was drawn to Harry’s yang again.
In this way, Harry managed to find a ghost who was alone, but how to catch it and bring it back?
“Come on, use the invisibility cloak!” Clark’s prompt came.
Harry dared to step forward and found that as long as he was wearing the Invisibility Cloak, even standing in front of these ghosts, they couldn’t see him.
This time Harry let go of his hands and feet. He looked closely at the ugly monster and found that it only had one foot. As for the other one, it only had a bare calf. No wonder it fell at the back of the line. .
“Hurry up—you—can’t—stay too long!” Clark’s urging came intermittently.
Harry didn’t dare to delay, and hurriedly went behind the ghost, looked around first, and after confirming that there were no other ghosts, he quickly took off his invisibility cloak and slammed it over the ghost.
Originally, when Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak, the ghost in front of him was already restless, but when Harry put the Invisibility Cloak on it, the ghost returned to calm again.
“Come back!” Clark urged again.
Harry didn’t dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the “Black Book of the Dead” and sang the sacred hymn of returning home.
It’s just that when he was leaving, he didn’t forget to hold the ghost tightly in his arms.
As the hymn about Osiris was sung, a strange force began to condense under Harry’s feet.
When this hymn reached its climax, a thick yin qi was like a fountain, breaking through the ground under Harry’s feet in an instant, sending him and the ghost into the sky.
Harry had experienced this a few times before, and he didn’t show the slightest panic, but instead tried to maintain a stable posture in the air.
Finally, after the thrilling experience that seemed like a roller coaster, Harry’s eyes returned to color again.
The bright light illuminated him again, and even the ordinary sound of breathing was so pleasant to Harry’s ears.
Just before he could continue to enjoy this feeling, a strong force suddenly pulled him out of the center of the magic circle.
On the other hand, after dragging Harry out of the magic circle, Clark immediately touched the mechanism of the magic circle.
A colorful magic shield quickly trapped the invisibility cloak in the magic circle, along with the ghosts under the invisibility cloak.
At this point, Harry, who had recovered his senses, looked at the center of the circle nervously and asked Clark, “How is it, have we succeeded?”
“I don’t know either,” Clark shook his head. “Let’s take a look first.”
As he said that, he triggered several other effects of the magic circle again, injected sufficient negative magic power into the circle, and at the same time increased the restraint of the magic circle.
After all the preparations were completed, Clark waved his hand and used the magic circle to control a whirlwind to lift the invisibility cloak in the center of the circle.
As if he got what he wanted when he opened the blind box, Harry jumped up immediately when he saw the ghost exposed to the light after the invisibility cloak was lifted.
“Fantastic!” he exclaimed excitedly, even more happy than the first place in the exam.
But before he could continue to be happy, the ghost who had removed the protection of the invisibility cloak suddenly struggled violently, opened his mouth and let out a silent but heart-piercing wailing.
Then in front of Clark and Harry, as if soaked in sulfuric acid, it quickly weathered and disintegrated, and finally turned into a plume of blue smoke that dissipated in the air.
“What’s the situation?” The smile on Harry’s face turned into astonishment before it disappeared.
Clark rubbed his chin, looked at the various materials and notes on the desk, and said his own guess.
“Maybe it’s because ghosts can’t survive in the Yang World. Looking at it like this, it’s obviously not suitable for the surrounding environment.”
“But there are so many ghosts in Hogwarts. Besides, isn’t there a legend of ghosts in the wizarding world?” Harry was still a little unwilling and quickly retorted.
“You said it too, it’s all legends.”
Clark explained very calmly: “The pure soul is actually a very rare species in the magic world. If you want to exist, the weather, the right place, and the people are indispensable.”
“There are more existences like banshees, vampires, and ghouls in the magical world.
As for the ghosts of Hogwarts, although they look the same as the soul, they are actually a completely different being. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Its core essence is more similar to the resident spirits of Hogwarts. The existence of those ghosts is completely dependent on the special environment of Hogwarts and the energy provided by the castle behind them. ??”
“Then what should we do?” Harry asked worriedly. ?
Clark flipped through the documentation again.
“Maybe next time we can try to carry out this business at night, and the Yin Qi in this magic circle can be strengthened again.
Of course, the best way is to find an alchemy tool specially designed to protect the soul. ???”
Saying that, he closed the book with a “pop”
“Okay, that’s all for today’s experiment, pack up, and we’ll go to your godfather’s house in a while.”
Although he was still very unwilling in his heart, Harry could only honestly leave the basement with Clark.
