Chapter 796 Facing the Abyss

There is a dark place in everyone's heart.

Someone once said that where there is light, there must be shadows, but shadows always hide behind, and are often not as clear as light.

But if you turn around suddenly, you will find yourself so close to the shadow that you will fall into it with a light step.

Hermione, look at me.

In the Room of Requirement, Maca sat facing her. At this time, there were only these two chairs in the room, and even Harry, Ron and even Luna could only wait quietly in the corridor outside.

It can be seen that Hermione's expression is very uncomfortable, and she may not be ready to tell the truth at the moment.

In other words, she didn't want Maca to know that she was actually jealous of Luna.

However, Maca didn't ask anything.

Look at me, breathe in, breathe out...don't think too much, let yourself really relax. Now I'm going to start asking you some simple questions, I think this should help you regain your calm.

In this empty room with only two people, Maca's voice was particularly clear.

Hermione heard that he seemed to be making his voice as soft as possible, and his slightly loose vocal cords trembled with the airflow to produce familiar pronunciation and intonation, with his usual easy-going style.

Just this way of speaking made Hermione feel extremely at ease.

Then... Maca asked calmly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Does a license issued by the Ministry of Magic be required for raising swallowtail dogs?

need.

What fertilizer can effectively increase the growth rate of Nocturnal Glow Grass?

The excrement of the moon demented beast.

Can mandrake leaves be used in cooking?

Can.

Which member of the Wizarding Council in the 14th century defined 'man' as 'any creature in the wizarding world that walks on two legs'?

Speaker Burdock Muldoon.

What was the name of a chocolate cream filled bar that Mars Magic Foods introduced in 1990?

Martian stick.

The fifth usage of dragon blood...

When Maca asked these questions, although his tone was very gentle, his speaking speed was quite fast.

Obviously, he knew that Hermione would be able to answer these questions, which covered almost everything from many subjects to common sense in life. And if the other party wants to fully concentrate and think uninterruptedly, he must ask questions at a fast pace.

In fact, Maca originally wanted Hermione to empty her mind as much as possible, but this method similar to the ancient wizard's meditation is really not easy.

For this reason, Maca simply did the opposite, completely filling Hermione's thinking with a lot of fast-paced questions.

And this will make Hermione no longer have the energy to think about other things.

Seeing that Hermione had gradually entered into a state of full thinking, Maca knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved. However, although there are actually only two steps for Maca to do, the second step is much more difficult than the first.

While continuing to ask Hermione all-encompassing questions, Maca suddenly took out his staff and placed the top of the staff between him and Hermione.

The next moment, I saw a faintly visible rune suddenly outlined on the top of the staff, and continuously spread out layers of waves invisible to the naked eye.

This is the soul rule rune, and it is also the one Maca learned from the Bewitching Tablet. Through countless researches and the harvest from Sarah, Maca has initially understood its meaning.

Through this rune, he can arouse other people's desires, but if it is used in reverse, it can also appease some abnormal desires.

Yes, according to Luna and Ron's hasty narration, Maca already knew something about Hermione's strangeness.

After a while, Maca canceled the transmission of magic power, and the soul rule rune quietly dispersed. And when those invisible ripples that spread out also disappeared, he also conveniently put away the staff.

The last question, Maca said softly, Who wrote the phrase 'When you are gazing at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you'?

What... what?

Hermione suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Maca with a puzzled expression.

Well, I think you are indeed a qualified resident of the wizarding world, Maca suddenly leaned back on the chair, and said in a relaxed tone, The words just now came from a famous Muggle scholar, his name is 'F Riedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche'.

...'The abyss is staring at you, too', Hermione chewed on this sentence, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her. This is really a creepy sentence.

Actually, not necessarily, Maca shook his head and said, If you regard something as an 'abyss', then it will truly become an abyss. When fighting against an abyss, the process of struggle often turns into another An abyss ①...

When Hermione was fascinated, Maca stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, as if telling her not to keep her nerves so tense.

So, um... Although this may be inappropriate for me, but... Maca said seriously, Just face up to your inner thoughts, and you don't have to choose to only care about other people's feelings. Make yourself miserable.

Hermione was taken aback when she heard the words, a flash of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but soon more firmness appeared again.

This is really...it's not up to you to say it! She pursed her lips, and a hint of rosiness gradually appeared on her pale lips just now, But since you said that...then Maca, can I punish you?

Uh……

This time it was Maca who was a little dazed, but he immediately nodded.

And the second after he nodded, a slap suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and began to enlarge at an extremely fast speed. He leaned back almost reflexively, and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

Oh, sorry! My body moved involuntarily...

Maca hastily let go of her hand, and smiled awkwardly.

Come on, you can do it again, this time I will definitely hold back.

But Hermione, who was sitting across from her, curled her lips, folded her hands on her chest and let out a soft snort.

Forget it, she said with a little dissatisfaction, compared to these, you should think about what to do next...Among Ron and Harry, I think Harry should have a problem, what do you think?

Seeing Hermione talking about the topic, Maca also put away her smile, and put her thoughts on some more serious and important matters.

Well, I thought so too.

So... what happened to Harry? Why would he...

Of course, Hermione knew nothing about Haierbo's resurrection. In fact, she didn't know much about Hai Erbo's rumors, after all, she couldn't find much information about those things in ordinary magic books.

As for this matter, I already have some ideas in my mind, Maca said. It's just that I was in a hurry to help you solve the problem just now, and Harry hasn't had time to deal with it yet.

Then— Hermione frowned slightly, where are they now?

It's just outside, Maca said immediately. Don't worry, the sound inside here will never be heard outside, because the inside and outside of the Room of Requirement are not in a continuous space at all.

Did you remind Ron? Hermione couldn't help worrying.

But Maca just shook his head.

I think it might be the most correct choice not to remind Ron, he said, pausing for a while and then said, After you go out for a while, you can pretend that you haven't recovered and get Ron away from Harry. Pull away. And I will be in charge of Luna...

No, Hermione immediately interrupted when she heard this, You don't need to worry about the two of them, especially Luna, just leave it to me... just do it!

After speaking so quickly, she deliberately stared at Maca a few times, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly—come on, the persuasion just now made Hermione even stronger than before.

Okay, okay! He had to surrender, Then my idea will be used as a backup plan... Then, I will leave the rest to me.

After the two of them discussed each other in the Response Room, Maca immediately stood up and walked towards the door together with Hermione who also stood up.

...

Crack.

The brass doorknob was turned by Hermione, and then she opened the door and walked straight out.

Hermione, are you alright? Ron was the first to see the door opened, and when he saw Hermione coming out, he hurried towards this side, Well, it seems much better...

And while he was speaking, Harry, who was not far away, immediately turned his gaze over, looking at Hermione with a faint haste.

Oh, I guess I didn't—

Hermione smiled at Ron first, and walked towards him. But when she passed the other person's shoulder and coincidentally saw Luna who was also coming, the smile that had become natural suddenly froze.

Don't, don't come here!

At this time, Maca also appeared at the door of the Room of Requirement. But he purposely didn't look in Harry's direction, but instead focused all his eyes on Luna and Hermione.

Calm down, Hermione. He slowed down his speech and said slowly, It's okay, you can... You just buried that thought in your heart too deeply, and only by facing it squarely can you break free from its shackles ...

At this point, he turned to Luna and said, Don't worry, get closer to Hermione, it will help her get out of trouble.

However, Luna only took one step forward, and Hermione ran to the other end of the corridor like a frightened rabbit.

Maca immediately winked at Ron who was still in a daze.

Why are you still standing there, chase after him! He said, and patted Luna's shoulder again, Go too, try to approach her slowly.

After saying that, he turned around abruptly, and even waved his hand towards Harry.

Harry, you come with me too!
