Chapter 161 Midnight Labor
The two souls of one body seem to be so cool, it is simply the standard fit for the protagonist.
But this is definitely not a good thing in fact. The soul is different from the concept of personality. Consciousness is the carrier of the soul. Excessive strength of mental power will affect the body. If the physical attributes cannot keep up, it is easy to be rushed into the head by a huge amount of mental power. What's more, two completely different souls?
No matter how weak one of them is, the repulsion is certainly present. Professor Quirrell and the parasitic soul have to endure inconsistency and pain from both the body and the soul while the consciousness is overloaded.
Two completely different soul phenomena are intertwined, and whether they are fusion or mutual exclusion, or even one side swallowing the other side, the process is not very wonderful. The best example to understand is the magic skill of taking over the body of the Nascent Soul, taking over the body of the soul, etc. If there are really no side effects, the cultivation system will have long unified the entire multiverse!
It’s enough for a bunker. With that time and condition, how many strong people can’t accumulate it?
Pei Chen crossed his fingers and held his chin with his fingers. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he put on a very classic pose. Of course, it would be even better if he had a pair of glasses that would have strangely reflected. "Student Zhang Qiu, do you say Professor Qiluo took his tasteless purple headscarf since August this year?"
Qiu Zhang recalled carefully for a few seconds, and then nodded with certainty.
"This is interesting... He is not an Indian? Why did he suddenly wear such a strange scarf?" Pei Chen continued to flip through the written records in the girl's carefully crafted notebook, and soon found the reason for Professor Quirrell to wear a hijab.
"Okay, garlic...this is definitely nonsense!"
He fiddled his hair and recalled the classics he had read over the days. As for some magical common sense, garlic does cause damage to vampires. But in game terms, it is just "slight damage". The effect is not as effective as flowing water, and it is not as critical as a knife and knife attack like a silver weapon.
To put it bluntly, it is the kind of thing that is so irrelevant. It is a dream to rely on garlic to fight off vampires. Compared to this, you may have a better effect on squatting on your head and squatting, and at least you won't anger those vampires who claim to be the nobles of the Dark Night.
"And the smell emitted by Professor Quirrell's headscarf is definitely not the smell of garlic, it's just very similar... The smell of garlic is not so disgusting." He narrowed his eyes, and the deeper he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. "Don't you think that his approach is more like hiding something deliberately? For example, under his headscarf, he is actually bald, and he has no hair to hide it like this..."
Pei Chen said in a joke-like tone that he had no reason and was full of malicious speculation, but at this moment, there was a rhythmic knock outside the door, knocking twice, three times each time, with very precise intervals.
He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he realized that when there were people in the room, people outside could not open the door, so he could just cover the door gently so that someone could come to him. But with such a polite and polite way to knock on the door, wouldn't the person coming to Professor McGonagall?
Such a strange thought flashed through his mind, and Pei Chen shouted: "Please come in."
Then he saw a tall witch wearing an emerald robe pushing the door and coming in.
...
...
"Oh my god, are the professors going crazy?"
Ron looked like a 'Damn it's teasing me', and his face was extremely gloomy and wonderful. At this moment, he really felt that the school's decision-making level had forgotten to take medicine... the medicine could not be stopped!
At eleven o'clock in the night, when everyone was resting, Harry, Ron and Hermione got up and left the common room, and went downstairs to the foyer, because Filch was already waiting there, and their punishment began tonight.
Everyone didn't speak much, just worried about the upcoming punishment - they still don't know what the content is about, so they've been a little nervous. Another thing is that Hermione and the two boys don't like each other and really have no common language, so the trio has been silent.
If Hermione is in a bad mood, then Ron is gloating because he doesn't meet the conflict between the eyes and characters. Generally speaking, things like this are relative. When Hermione thinks Ron is a bastard, Ron also thinks Hermione is annoying. Although she knows that this time she was just dragged down by herself and others, he is still very happy to feel that she has been pulled over and dies without any worries...
"Come with me," Felch said, lighting up a light and leading them out, "I think you should think twice before you want to violate school rules in the future, right?"
He looked at them squintingly and continued, "Oh, yes... If you ask me, I have to say that working and suffering are the best teachers... I'm sorry they abolished the old-fashioned punishment method in the past... Hanging your wrists and hanging you from the ceiling for several days. I still have those chains in my office, and I often put them on oil, and maybe it will come in handy one day... Okay, let's go, don't think about running away. If you run away, you won't have any good results."
His sarcastic tone made three children, who were only eleven years old, feel that what happened next might be a bad thing.
"Where are we going?" Ron was the first person to realize that the situation was unexpected. He thought that he and others should go clean and clean up the prize showroom, just like what his twin brothers often do.
But the truth is that Felch led them away from Hogwarts Castle and strided through the dark ground.
Felch's tone was cheerful, making people wonder if he was picking up gold when he came out. If he had no ears to block it, he might have to grin behind his head: "You probably thought you would have fun with your two troublemakers? What a pity that their labor time is arranged the day after tomorrow, boy - you are going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out safely, even if I guess it is wrong, I will allow you to come and help your brothers share some of the labor..."
Ron couldn't help but let out a strange scream on the spot, and the somewhat disrespectful words at the beginning: "Oh my god, are the professors going crazy?"
He stopped and protested loudly, "We can't go to the Forbidden Forest, there are everything there! I heard there were werewolfs." Seeing his two fights, his face turned pale, he was obviously scared. Who could have thought that the price of violating the school rules was so high just by recklessly saving people? It was simply normal to die in the Forbidden Forest.
"That's all you can blame yourself, right?" Felch said, his voice happily. "Before you get into trouble, you should think of these werewolfs, right?" His slutty look made Ron almost unable to help but punch him hard in the nose.
But he didn't dare, because it was already a forbidden forest. If the school administrator was beaten again, what would the next punishment be? Although he didn't know that in the ancient Eastern country, there was a saying that "two crimes were punished together, and the crime was one step further", but subconsciously, Ron instinctively thought of Snape's old bat smiling at him, looking dissatisfied with the look of wanting and dissatisfaction, eager to find someone to vent...
Hagrid strided towards them from the darkness, with teeth following behind. Hagrid carried his huge stone bow and hung a full quiver on his shoulders.
Harry's heart was merry; it wouldn't be too bad if they were to work with Hagrid.
"It's almost time," he said, "I've been waiting for half an hour. How about it, Harry, Hermione?" The big man obviously didn't know the wrong way between Hermione and the two. He just had a good impression of the Eastern Wizard. The love of Aiwu and Wu also covered Hermione, and he greeted the girl with a smile.
"We shouldn't be so polite to them, Hagrid," Felch said coldly, "after all, they came here to receive punishment."
"That's why you're late, aren't you?" Hager said with a frown at Felch, "I've been teaching them a lesson, huh? This is not the place for you to teach people. Your mission is completed, and from now on, Professor Lyle and I are responsible for it."
"I'll be back at dawn," Felch said, "to pack up their wrecks." He said viciously, then turned toward the castle, the lamp swaying and disappeared into the darkness.
Haeger glared at Felch's back with dissatisfaction, then looked at the three of them and said in a low voice: "Prepare to set off, we don't have much time to waste... Listen carefully now, what we are going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want anyone to encounter danger. Come here with me first."
"Since it's dangerous, why do we still have to do it?" Ron mustered up the courage to say. If possible, he really didn't want to enter the Forbidden Forest.
"It's very simple, because you violated the school rules and don't want to be dismissed." Haeger said lightly, then led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Ah!" Ron screamed in surprise. He saw the two blood-red spots in the jungle, which were clearly the eyes of some animals! Hagrid looked at him dissatisfiedly, then raised the lantern in his hand, illuminating a path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black jungle. There, the new young professor stood in the shadow of a big tree with a smile, looking at them, his red eyes full of smiles.
"Professor Lyle?!"
The three of them shouted in surprise. They were confused before and didn't listen to what Hager said. Now they realized that Pei Chen was acting with them. Looking back on the bloody scene of him killing an adult mountain monster a few days ago, although they felt scared at the time, they really felt extremely safe now.
"Why did it come so late?" Pei Chen asked Haeger.
"Don't mention it, Filch...ahem, he taught the children a lesson for a long time, so he was delayed." Hager obviously wanted to curse a few swear words, but when he turned his eyes on the Gryffindor trio, he swallowed a word he didn't have time to spit it back.
"Is that true?" Pei Chen nodded, without commenting.
"Look over there," said Hagrid, "Did you see the shining thing on the ground? Silver-white? That is the blood of the unicorn. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something, and it was not very serious, but if it weren't for Professor Lyle's two unicorns he caught back last time, we wouldn't have found it. We must try to find the poor unicorn and free it from its pain."
At this time, Hermione walked to Pei Chen and pulled the corner of his clothes: "Hey, Lyle?"
Her voice was very soft. But Pei Chen still heard it. He lowered his head and asked, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Do you think..." Hermione originally wanted to ask if the Forbidden Forest is really dangerous, but she was afraid that the other two bastards would look down on him, so she temporarily changed the problem and changed to another more obscure way, "How about this Forbidden Forest?"
"It's like Hogwarts! It's outstanding and powerful, and it's a hidden dragon!" Pei Chen replied with no time to think.
