Chapter 117: "Secret of the Soul" (modified)

　　 The first thing Allen thought of was the responsive room, and Allen was already very good at going to the responsive room to do what he wanted to do.
With the thought of "I need a comfortable and quiet place to read", Allen walked three times on the eighth floor of the castle, in front of the tapestry where the giant stick beats the Panamanian, and a door suddenly appeared in Ai. In front of Lun.
　　 walked in, and the responsive room became a forest bookstore. This is a breathing reading space: green plants are scattered throughout the space, and you can see different trees, flowers, and landscape sketches. Allen is very skeptical that the designer moved a corner of the Forbidden Forest into the House of Request.
　　 A bookshelf in the shape of a green giant tree is filled with books.
　　 Allen picked out a book casually, and the name of the cover turned out to be "Merlin Loves Me"! Allen flipped through it, and dumbfoundedly shoving the book back onto the shelf. Which boring wizard wrote this fantasy romance novel?
　　 The unwilling Allen walked to another branch in the opposite direction, and pulled out a book-"Cold Steel". Turning a page casually, rows of poems broke into Allen’s eyes:
　　Heaven is always imprisoned in our suffering,
　　 Hell is lost in our paradise.
　　……
　　 The three demons shouldn’t have died like that,
　　 Have you read my mark,
　　My friend, we will see you again!
　　 is a collection of poems! Allen shook his head, tucked the book back into the shelf, giving up the idea of ​​hunting for treasures here. Let's turn our attention back to "Secrets of the Soul" first.
　　 Holding the book, Allen looked away from the shelf, looking for a suitable place to read.
I saw circular rattan cushions scattered on the dense and soft grass, and there was a white rattan swing beside the wall to the right. "Next time, it seems that I have to add a setting that is more suitable for male readers before entering... "
　　 Fortunately, Allen found that on the log floor with the grass on the left, there were leather armchairs and large reading tables that looked extremely comfortable. Above them, the round crystal lamp sprinkled moderately soft light. Beside the table, there is actually an old-fashioned bronze trumpet-shaped phonograph, and some records are neatly stacked on the side. All this has created a quiet and comfortable reading environment for Allen.
　　 "The fly in the ointment is that there is no drink. Next time you come in, you have to bring some tea." Rolling his eyes, Allen sat comfortably on the leather armchair and spread "Secrets of the Soul" on the reading table.
　　In an instant, a shrill, creepy scream pierced through the peace and quiet—this book screamed! Allen closed it abruptly, but the scream didn't stop, it was a high-pitched, constant, deafening tone.
　　 "Silence!" Allen drew out his wand, casting a spell at an amazing speed. The book seemed to be pinched by someone's throat, and the shrill voice stopped abruptly. But his arm hit the miscellaneous ornaments on the table, and the debris splashed all over Allen's cuff.
Alan used repair spells and cleaned up to make this place back as before. Since this book is placed in the forbidden book area, there is a reason for it to be banned, although the black magic and Horcrux production methods that are really too high and dangerous have been dumb Lido was accepted into the principal's office.
　　 Sit down with sufficient psychological preparation, Allen gently turned the pages of the book, blessed by the powerful silent curse, so that Allen's ears would no longer be abused. Allen calmly read the text and pictures in the book. In it, Allen found that although the chapter about the Horcrux had been artificially torn away, it only left some relevant context. After reading it carefully, Allen was disappointed to find that in the book, he did not introduce more things beyond what Allen knew, and did not introduce specific implementation methods at all.
　　 After flipping through the books briefly, Allen found that besides that, the books also introduced knowledge such as "second soul", "soul salvation", "where does life come from and where does death go". Interestingly, a lot of knowledge is similar to the idealist philosophy of the Muggle world.
　　 Besides, this book is also very literary. After the author introduced the dark magic about the soul, Yaxing actually wrote a few comments.
　　 For example, he wrote a short poem about Horcrux, the author wrote:
　　Alcohol is best at deceiving people,
　　 Death is the most dramatic.
　　 Immortality stepped on the edge of death,
　　 The withered life weeped.
　　Hate rejected the justice of God,
　　Darkness forgets everything
　　……
　　 Until the gurgling sound in his stomach, Allen realized that he was addicted to the book and missed dinner. At this time, I am afraid it was almost the curfew, and now he must go back to rest.
　　 This book must have a suggestive and hypnotic effect on the soul, making people unconsciously indulged in it. Alan was secretly alarmed and raised his vigilance towards this book.
　　 Allen took out some snacks sent by Mrs. Harris from the system storage compartment, and filled his stomach with black tea. Later, he threw "Secrets of the Soul" into the storage space and hurried back to the dormitory. Edward has become accustomed to the brief disappearance of his roommate, and has already entered a state of sleep.
　　After washing~EbookFREE.me~ Alan also plunged himself into the soft bed, put aside all thoughts, and fell asleep.
However, this night, Alan did not sleep well, the tortured Muggles; the magical creatures that were crying and dying; the weird soul fragments; the screaming and sharp screams... these voices are visualized. A horrible dream swallowed Allen mercilessly.
　　 With Allen’s mental power, he knew it was a dream, but he couldn’t get rid of it. At this time a sentence from the book appeared in Allen's thoughts, "If you can't look up at the stars and embrace the light, please join me in the endless darkness!"
　　 Suddenly, a clear stream flowed from my mind to my heart, and all the imprisonment collapsed in an instant, turning into snowflake-like fragments, flying away, and dreaming of no trace.
The system siren that turned into a mechanical sharp sound made Allen not disgusted at all, but grateful-it was the system that pulled him out of the boundless nightmare, otherwise he didn’t know what to do in the scene after another. How long will it take to wake up after sinking into the tragic experience of different creatures in the horror picture of
　　 But what does this mean? Is it that everyone reading this book will be invaded by the book consciousness, or will consciousness have the conditions for screening and invasion?
In this regard, Alan prefers the latter. Otherwise, if a strong man like Albus Dumbledore had read this book and received the erosion of dark power, the world would have fallen into war long ago. The non-aggression and peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles, although after reading some old newspapers and related books decades ago in the family’s collection, Alan felt that Gertler Grindelwald’s attitude towards secrecy laws came to a certain extent. It was correct. He did predict something, but unfortunately he was born a little earlier. After the Internet really developed, Allen didn't think that wizards could be hidden as easily as they are now.
