Dobby concealed the most critical tool for committing the crime from Harry, because he had to abide by the prohibition of the house elves, and he still couldn't pass the level in his heart;
Hagrid has been trying his best to cover up the possible 'suspect'. He categorically denied that he had anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets, but when Harry pressed him, he kept secret about the past 50 years ago;
Even Dumbledore had concealed Hagrid's past and the opening of the Chamber of Secrets from Harry before, and now Harry could guess his reason, it was nothing more than not wanting to create a rift between him and Hagrid.
Concealing key details out of personal emotion is the most feared situation in the investigation, but the reality today has given Harry four consecutive critical blows.
Maniacally flipping through the book at hand, Harry couldn't calm down at all.
Now it is Filch and Mrs. Norris who have been recruited, who will be after this?
If Hermione is like them, what should I do...
"Irritable, impotent and furious, dazed and decadent... very good, very good~"
"Who?!"
Hearing the voice suddenly, Harry woke up suddenly, but then he realized that something was wrong.
The timbre of the voice this time was different from what he had heard the last two times. Although it was equally low, with a hint of obnoxious gloating, it didn't have the vicious feeling it had before.
And the place where the sound is made is not in the wall or ceiling, but right beside you!
"After waiting for so long, your emotions are finally extreme enough to be able to hear what I said, so please open me up~"
"Open... Are you in this book?"
The deep voice sounded again, and Harry was able to confirm its location... It was the strange book he borrowed from the restricted section of the library that was speaking!
Suspiciously picking up the strange book in his hand, Harry turned to a certain page and found a blurred outline of a human face on it.
From the looks of it, it should be the guy who was crying and howling in the pages of the pages when he was flipping through the pages of the restricted book section for the first time!
Chapter 130 The Seventh Mood Is Affected by a Strange Book
"Who are you?" Harry asked warily, staring at the pages of the book spread out on the table.
"I'm just a spirit left in the pages of the book. The real me is already dead, so you don't need to know who I am." A mocking voice, "It's you, who have been studying my theories these days, but you are so influenced by me, this is so interesting~"
"I'm influenced by you... This joke is not funny at all."
Harry raised his wand sullenly. He was not in the library now. If this broken book dared to speak ill of him again, he would set it on fire.
"Not affected... Heh, don't you think your emotions have become weird recently?" Wei Shu sneered, "You have become irritable, and even gradually lost your original calm, and now you are suffering from After the blow, I almost fell into a slump...Do you dare to say that this is not influenced by me?"
"You?" Harry's face froze when he heard this, his abnormal mood these days was actually because of this guy!
"The practice of releasing the magic power actually started after you read my book, but this practice is not so easy. These days, you not only can't find your clues, but you may even get confused because of the constantly diverging emotions. Isn’t it fun to affect people around you~”
After listening to the strange book, Harry gritted his teeth secretly, and forced himself to suppress the urge to burn the other party with a fire.
Before co-authoring with him, he hit a wall everywhere, and this guy actually got in the way!
Dumbledore and Dobby should not have been affected much, so...the reason why the Weasley brothers and sisters and Hagrid rebelled against themselves is actually also affected by their own divergent emotions?
"However, you are indeed not bad." After some ridicule, the strange book changed into a tone of approval, "At least your spiritual will is strong enough, and you also know how to use magic spells to maintain reason. There are not a few people in this book, but you are the only one who can hear my voice when the mood fluctuates violently."
"Even if that's the case, what's the use? Could it be that you can solve my current predicament?" Harry let out a long sigh. He felt very tired now, and he didn't want or have the energy to argue with this weird book.
"Although I can't completely solve your problem, I can provide you with some extra help." The strange book said complacently, "For example, I should be able to solve the magic power you are worrying about and the secret room. Can help."
"You know about the Chamber of Secrets..."
"Let's talk about the release of magic power first!" The voice of the strange book became extremely sharp in an instant, "With your current mood, it's a pity not to use it for cultivation. As for the secret room, when you have a small success in learning, I will Nature will tell you."
"Okay..." Harry responded dully, and finally chose to compromise.
His current mood is affected by the strange book. Even if he uses the Mirror to Stop Water spell, he may not be able to completely restore his original calmness. This state is not suitable for investigating cases, because many important details will definitely be missed.
So it's better to learn from this weird book first, at least let it relieve the emotional impact on yourself.
"Very well, let's get straight to the point. Do you know why you can't inject magic power into your voice?" Wei Shu began to talk with satisfaction, "That's because your ideas are not firm enough! One thing, if you If you don’t even believe it yourself, how can you expect others to believe it, and expect it to finally come true?!”
Next, under the guidance of the strange book, Harry had a deeper understanding of the magic that he had been studying for the past two years.
The so-called magic is actually a power that can change reality and make people's wishes come true.
When any wizard releases magic, he must think about the goal he wants to achieve in his mind, and cooperate with the spell to form a fixed magic.
If these links cannot cooperate perfectly, the magic effect released will naturally be greatly reduced, and even lead to some extremely serious consequences.
For example, when a wizard casts Clear Water like a Spring, what he thinks about is a volcanic eruption, so what comes out of his wand may not necessarily be something.
It is precisely because the release of magic needs to be guided by one's own thoughts, so the wizard must recite the magic spell correctly, because the essence of the magic spell is actually a specific language used for self-hypnosis.
I need blazing flames, I need Alahoo to open, thinking like this in my mind, saying like this on my mouth, supplemented by the movements of my hands, and finally a complete magic can be formed.
And on this basis, if you want to enhance the effect of magic, you must rely on strong emotions or emotional resonance.
Harry fully agrees with this.
He has understood before that the three unforgivable curses require the caster to be able to cast them with extremely malicious emotions.
To put it simply, if you want to successfully release the Avada Kedavra, you must have a murderous intention, which is the so-called resonance.
The stronger the killing intent in his heart, the better the effect of the Killing Curse. The Killing Curse released by the Death Eaters can easily take away a person's life, but if it were an innocent child who hadn't experienced much in the world, he might even kill a mouse. I can't die~
"So, if you want to successfully inject magic power into your voice or eyes without the guidance of a magic spell, you must first firmly believe that your voice and eyes really have this effect!" The strange book ends He made a conclusion for Harry, "And the source of this belief is the extreme mood swings in you!"
"I probably understand, but... how do I do it?"
Harry has almost understood the theoretical part so far, but he is still at a loss as to how to operate it.
"Control your emotions as much as possible, and let yourself fully believe in the effect of magic power through repeated self-suggestions." The strange book guided Harry in detail, "For example, if you want to inject magic power into your voice to hypnotize others, you must first Unswervingly believe that your voice can hypnotize yourself!"
"Hypnotize yourself... I'll give it a try~"
After silently saying "Mingjingjingshui" several times in his mind, Harry tried to relax his tense mood, closed his eyes, and began to imitate the way he slept, letting out soft breaths from his mouth.
"Attention is self-suggestion, not completely emptying the brain! Your magic power must continue to operate, and you must not relax!"
During this period, the strange book kept reminding Harry. Whenever Harry became sleepy due to physiology rather than magic, it would wake Harry up immediately.
Harry didn't know how long he had been brainstorming about 'sound can hypnotize', and finally at a certain moment, there was a faint, almost undetectable ripple in the voice that came out of his mouth.
And he also suddenly felt an uncontrollable drowsiness, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Did you succeed so quickly? It seems that the talent is really good~"
Seeing that Harry fell into a deep sleep due to the magic of the voice, and the pages of the strange book trembled slightly, he seemed quite satisfied with this.
Chapter 130: Luna can be regarded as a bosom friend
Early the next morning, Harry got up again and felt refreshed, as if all his tiredness and stagnation had been swept away.
"Hey... book spirit, book spirit?!" Harry vigorously shook the strange book beside him, hoping that the other party would respond.
Of course, out of respect, Harry casually named the other party.
He slept so soundly last night that he felt as if he had passed out suddenly and had no memory of many things, so he wanted Shu Ling to talk to him.
As a result, he shook it for a long time, but the strange book in his hand didn't respond at all, as if the book spirit didn't exist at all, and the experience last night was just an illusion.
"Book spirit... yes, communicating with it requires extreme emotional fluctuations~"
Thinking of the strange book's advice from yesterday, Harry tried to concentrate, silently recited 'I'm very manic now' hundreds of times in his mind, and finally managed to get in touch with the book spirit before he was about to throw something to vent his anger.
It's just that Shu Ling doesn't want to talk to Harry now.
"From now on, I won't take the initiative to influence you anymore. You can do your own things during the day. If you want to communicate with me, try to control your emotional fluctuations through self-suggestion as just now!"
"Okay~"
Harry knew that this was a new stage of training, so he accepted it decisively.
Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for this book spirit to help him cultivate for no reason, but at this stage, there was definitely no harm in accepting the other party's teachings.
As for whether the other party has a plan for him or something else, Harry just needs to be more careful, and when the time comes, the soldiers will cover it up~
"Let's go investigate the scene again, I hope Hagrid hasn't cleaned up the chicken coop yet."
There were too many unexpected incidents yesterday, and Harry's mood was also affected by the book spirit, which made him a little too impatient when searching for evidence, and he might miss some small clues.
And now that I think about it, Lockhart's behavior is also very suspicious. Counting the matter of Fanchu Zhang before, he made two shots but made trouble twice. Is it really just because he is an idiot?
In addition, there was also the timing of Filch's accident with Mrs. Norris. To be honest, in Harry's view, this incident would not serve as an alibi for Lockhart, but would aggravate his suspicions!
Thinking of this, Harry hurried to the chicken coop, only to meet a blond girl with a drawing board on the playground.
"Luna, you just came back from Black Lake?" Harry asked curiously and concerned, "The school is not safe now, why don't you find someone to accompany you?"
"Because no one wants to accompany me, and it's safer outside than Hogwarts Castle."
Luna's answer was still the same, with a natural meaning revealed in the plain, and she didn't care about being isolated by others, and in those silver eyes, there was a light that seemed to know everything.
"Ha... I'm really a little excited to hear you say that."
Harry said that if he had met Luna last year, even at the risk of being punched by Hermione and Luna, he would definitely hug this smart girl seriously.
It's safer outside than Hogwarts... This is a perfect bosom friend~
If Harry knew how to play some traditional Chinese musical instruments, he would definitely be playing a piece of Gao Shan Liu Shui at this moment.
But what Luna said was absolutely correct. Slytherin's chamber of secrets was undoubtedly built in the castle, so the monsters in the chamber of secrets would only launch attacks inside the castle, and would never run to the playground outside.
The reason for this is actually very simple. Hogwarts has a group of outstanding teachers headed by Dumbledore. Therefore, whether it is Quirrell Voldemort last year or the old monster in the Chamber of Secrets today, this so-called Boss can Light, then death is certain!
"So, you still haven't started painting today?" Looking at the still neat paint box in Luna's hand, Harry knew that Luna still hadn't finished the 'homework' left by him.
"The color of the lake is getting worse and worse. I don't want to draw this black lake on paper, and I'm not in the mood right now..."
When mentioning the Black Lake, Harry even heard a trace of deep worry from Luna's tone.
Has the water quality of the Black Lake deteriorated in a short period of time?
If this guess is true, then is there some connection between this unusual change and the secret room in the castle...
"What are you going to do?" While thinking, Harry heard Luna's question.
"I want to go to the chicken coop that had an accident yesterday to check again... Uh, do you want to come with me?"
Harry suddenly realized that he could take Luna to investigate together.
If she really has tetrachromatic vision, maybe she can help herself find more details by distinguishing colors.
"Okay, if you think I can help." Luna nodded with wide eyes, and very nicely agreed to help Harry.
"Let me get the drawing board and paint for you...By the way, where is the necklace around your neck?" When the two rushed to the chicken coop together, Harry thought that Luna would be very tired carrying the drawing board, so he helped her put it away. Things are placed in the space ring.
And at the same time, he also discovered that the wine cork necklace that Luna had been wearing before disappeared.
"It should have been stolen by my roommate as a prank. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not the only thing I lost. I'll post a notice to ask for it at the end of the semester." Luna seemed to appreciate this kind of malice from her classmates. .
She kept her eyes fixed on the ring on Harry's hand that was supposed to belong to her mother's relic. She obviously cared about it very much, but she didn't intend to question Harry at all.
Looking at Luna beside him, Harry couldn't help feeling that he might learn a lot from this girl.
Her calmness and open-minded attitude towards isolation and targeting are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"This... it really is a step too late."
After the two arrived at the chicken coop together, looking at the crime scene that had been cleaned up with only a little bit of blood left, Harry could only sigh deeply.
Speaking of which, I blame myself. I heard that Filch and Mrs. Norris were recruited yesterday, and I was a little too impatient, so that I didn't ask Hagrid to continue to protect the integrity of the scene before leaving.
"Well, let's check again to see if there are any clues that are lucky that they haven't been destroyed." Harry shook his head helplessly, and began to search hard in the almost empty scene that had been cleaned.
"There will be, because there is no perfection in this world."
"So no matter how meticulous the crime is, it will definitely leave a hole in the end, right?" Harry smiled knowingly. Luna's words really encouraged him a lot.
She may not know how to search the scene professionally, or even what evidence is, but she is willing to help herself sincerely and has been encouraging herself.
Ravenclaw's first-generation weirdos and second-generation weirdos are investigating cases together, which feels pretty good~
Not to mention, maybe we can consider opening a campus detective agency in the future?
"This should be what you're looking for."
After the two searched in the empty chicken coop for a while, Luna suddenly raised a spiky hair!
