Chapter 419 Beautiful objects can also bring extreme dangers

Because they were in a remote location, Lin Xia called several times but failed to call the clerk.

She had to step out and wave before catching the attention of one of the clerks who was moving a container.

The clerk put down the container and walked towards Lin Xia: "Can I help you?"

Lin Xia nodded and said, "Yes, can you get me a flash firework explosion?"

"Flash fireworks exploding candy?" the clerk repeated the name of the candy, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes, "It seems our store does not carry this kind of candy."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, and Harry and Ron who came later were a little surprised.

Ron said loudly: "No way, the flashing fireworks and exploding candy are in the container behind us!"

The clerk also shouted back, "No way, I am responsible for handling the purchase and receipt of goods these days, and I have never heard of this kind of candy!"

At this point, the clerk looked at them suspiciously, with an unkind expression: "You couldn't have just mentioned a candy that our store doesn't have and come here to find trouble, right?"

Ron was angry and took a few steps forward to confront the clerk.

Lin Xia intervened in their conversation at the right time: "I'm sorry, sir, we want a candy, but it says 'Flash Fireworks Explosive Bomb' on it. We can't take it out. Can you take it out for us and have a look?"

The clerk agreed and followed them, chanting: "The name [Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy] sounds cool. If the store manager really buys it, there's no way I wouldn't know about it..."

Then when the clerk walked into the deepest cabinet, he looked at the candies that shone with silvery white light. He was instantly fascinated and couldn't take his eyes away.

He walked over step by step, almost pressing his face against the transparent window, and murmured in admiration: "This candy is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful candy..."

The little wizards followed the store clerk and their hearts trembled when they saw this kind of candy again.

No matter how many times I see these candies, every time I want to sigh, it turns out that there are such beautiful things in this world.

Lin Xia suddenly stretched out his magic spell and cast a "flash spell"!

A dazzling white light flashed across their eyes, like a very fast meteor. The little wizard's mind was instantly attracted by the dazzling white light and he regained his consciousness.

Lin Xia said quickly: "Don't look at these candies. Sugar will attract your attention and make you lose your mind. These candies are dangerous!"

She turned to look at Harry: "Harry, how did you find these candies?"

Lin Xia noticed that while Ron, Hermione and Draco were all attracted to these candies, Harry was barely able to stay conscious and did not need her to wake him up with a flashing spell.

This should be the reason why he was not fascinated when he saw these candies before and was still able to leave.

Harry has a certain resistance to these sweets!

Harry said: "There is a secret passage in the cellar of Honeydukes store, and I came here from Hogwarts through this secret passage.

After coming out of the cellar, I saw the counter. Because I was lost, I walked around and saw these candies.

But the road here was blocked, so I left to go somewhere else, and soon saw you. "

Ron did not dare to turn his head towards the candy. His self-control was very low. Once he saw the candy, he would not be able to hear or remember anything.

Because he didn't look at the candies, he didn't know what the clerk's current situation was, so he quickly asked: "Has the clerk taken out the 'Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy' yet?"

Lin Xia glanced at it and shook her head: "No, the clerk was completely fascinated. He wished he could lie down on the transparent window."

Hermione lowered her head and said calmly and rationally: "Something's wrong.

Before the clerk came, he claimed that he had never seen this candy before. After he came, he acted like he had never seen this candy before, and he was even more intolerant of temptation than us.

If the Honeydukes store really purchased this kind of candy, it’s impossible that they didn’t know how tempting it is, and the store clerk couldn’t have never heard of it. Could it be that these candies were not purchased from the Honeydukes store, but someone deliberately placed them here? ? "

Draco looked at Lin Xia with a solemn expression: "If it's the latter, what is their purpose?"

A vague idea flashed through Harry's mind, but he didn't catch it.

The next second, Lin Xia's calm voice sounded: "There is a festival recently, which is the peak season for selling candy."

The little wizards looked at each other and said in unison: "Christmas!"

Hermione said quickly: "This candy is so confusing. We can't even walk when we see it. We don't know what impact it will have if we let it out. We need to report it to the professor."

Ron frowned: "This is not Hogwarts. Does the professor care about these things?"

Draco nodded: "Yes, because most of the candies in Honeydukes store are sold to Hogwarts students."

Harry was wearing an invisible hood and was a little nervous, not wanting the professor to notice that he was here.

He asked: "Should I report it to the professor just because it is confusing? Maybe this candy is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. Maybe there is no harm in it?"

Hermione said seriously: "No, Harry, there is a danger in confusing people too much!"

She didn't know what she thought of, and waved her magic wand, summoning a water mirror.

Through the principle of refraction, she adjusted the water mirror left and right, and finally let everyone see the clerk's condition from the side mirror.

It's strange to say that when they look at the candy directly, they become distracted, but when they see the candy through other objects, they are fine.

In the water mirror, the clerk was still lying in front of the display window, staring unblinkingly, muttering to himself, all words of praise.

Hermione said: "He's been like this for at least five minutes."

Ron swallowed, and he suddenly thought of himself, was he just like the store clerk when he was confused?

That would be too ugly!

Draco stared at the clerk in the water mirror, thinking of a possibility, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think that if I attack the clerk now, will he be unable to react in any way?"

Others suddenly realized.

No wonder they think this state of losing consciousness is not good. It turns out that they cannot save themselves when in danger!

Harry asked: "Lin Xia, what should we do now?"

Lin Xia thought for a while and took out a crystal ball from the traceless telescopic ring.

"We recorded the situation here and gave it to the store manager, and asked him where this batch of goods came from. If he didn't come in, then who put it here deliberately, the store manager should want to know more than us."

She paused and said with some uncertainty: "I felt the power of the evil god's whispers from these candies. It's probably because of this that you were deceived, but because of the transparent display window, I can't verify it. "

"By the way, I have the Leaf of Awakening."

Lin Xia took out the leaves and distributed them to other friends, "Just in case, if you accidentally see the candy, you'd better take the leaves. The power of these candies is no worse than the real banned books."

Everyone immediately took the Leaf of Awakening.

Even so, no one dared to risk their lives and looked at the candy again to test whether the leaves of wakefulness could resist the confusion effect.

The only thing that can be perceived is that after taking the leaves of clarity, they all feel clear-headed and refreshing.

Lin Xia and others walked out of the counter, quickly found the store manager, and handed the crystal ball to him.

After seeing the picture, the store manager had a serious expression on his face and asked, "How did you find out?"

Lin Xia said: "We walked in and saw it by chance. When we entered, we saw the clerk maintaining this posture.

We accidentally saw the candy and almost walked over, but luckily we heard a sharp sound that woke us up. "

Harry hid his body in the invisibility cloak and took a special look at Lin Xia.

Her statement embellishes much of the reality.

The store manager asked confused: "Sharp, but we haven't heard anything before."

Lin Xia said calmly: "To be precise, I heard a sharp sound. I came to my senses first and then woke up the other friends who were walking towards the candy."

The store manager glanced at Lin Xia for a few times, then focused on the outstanding student badge she wore on her chest. He seemed to understand something and quickly said:

"The information you provided is very important. Please wait a moment. I need to contact Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. It is very likely that you have discovered items dropped by the evil world."

He explained: “Recently, the Ministry of Magic has seized a batch of items contaminated by the evil gods’ whispers. These items have very similar effects to candies and mainly confuse people’s spirits.

It doesn't seem to be harmful, but if a fallen wizard sneaks up on a person while he's being confused, it's basically impossible to fight back.

In addition, prolonged exposure to these items may cause the wizard to become corrupted and mentally unstable. "

The store manager also learned about this information through the Daily Prophet.

Although he had never actually seen it, the clerk's reaction was very similar to the phenomenon reported in the newspaper.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said: "We are still students and can only come to Hogsmeade on weekends. Why don't I leave my contact information with you and contact me when you need us? We will definitely come forward to vouch for you. ”

The store manager thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

The most important thing is that there is a crystal ball that records the scene. With the images in the crystal ball, many problems can be discovered.

Let the little wizard stay just in case.

The store manager slapped his chest and swore that he was definitely not complicit in the world of evil spirits, and he had never known anything about "glitter fireworks exploding candy"!

Where did this batch of sugar come from?

When Lin Xia and others left, she also reminded the store manager: "You have been short of manpower recently and have to buy a lot of goods every day. Maybe someone took a fancy to the chaos in your store, so they quietly put the pollution of the evil world into your store. things.

If you want to minimize the risk, you still have to manage the store well, such as guarding dangerous places first so that no one will discover you. "

The store manager immediately said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will do it now!"

After Lin Xia and others left, they walked to another street.

But she has been secretly using a supersensory spell to amplify her hearing.

She seemed to have walked to the other side, her mind always focused on the manager of the Honeydukes store.

Just listen to the store manager say: "Strange, how did they find that place? I pass there every day, why didn't I notice there was something wrong with that place?

When were these candies put out? Were they there yesterday or just today... If they were not top students at Hogwarts, I would suspect that they put them here on purpose..."

After the store manager finished talking, he called a few clerks over and asked them to put red lines on the three rows of shelves near the deepest part, prohibiting entry.

After the clerk finished, the manager asked them: "You walked into the deepest shelf, didn't you find anything?"

The clerk said confusedly: "Is there anything there? Nothing!"

Another clerk said: "Yes, manager, we didn't find anything."

"Manager, why did you seal that place? There is nothing there!"

The manager was also confused, "Didn't you see that there is another person in the innermost? And there are silver candies!"

"No, we didn't see anything."

The manager: "But the crystal ball clearly... Wait, come and see if you have found these scenes."

The clerk was silent for a long time and said: "The environment shown in the crystal ball is indeed the environment of the deepest container."

"I also saw a few candies, which I saw when I just sealed them, but I didn't find Renhe silver candy at all."

"Could it be that the place was deliberately set up with many obstacles to prevent us from getting close?"

Lin Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, paused, and turned to look at Harry who was invisible.

She finally figured out where the wrong feeling in her heart came from!

If the silver candies were really secretly placed there by the evil god world, just to detonate the disaster brought by the "flash firework explosion candy" at Christmas, then they would definitely hide it from people in the early stage and not be discovered.

So the place where they put the candies must have cast many spells that prevent people from approaching.

For example, "obstacles", "avoidance spell (wizard version)", "cover up the truth", "fake and true"...

Lin Xia said seriously: "Harry, tell me the truth, did you really walk in accidentally?"

The weather is very cold today, and small snowflakes are floating in the sky.

Harry seemed to be peeped into the secret, and there was a moment of silence.

Hermione and others didn't understand, looked at Lin Xia with a solemn expression, and subconsciously didn't speak.

They were all waiting for Harry's answer.

Hermione thought about it, and her hand was still holding Harry's hand. She touched the silk-like cloth and lifted it forward-

Harry appeared in front of everyone.

He seemed a little panicked, wearing very little, his nose was frozen red, and his eyes looked red.

"I didn't take you there on purpose. I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Lin Xia comforted him: "Harry, I'm not saying you want to hurt us, but I want to ask how you know that place. Did you really walk in by accident? Can you tell me the truth?"

To prove herself, Lin Xia said: "I have been using the extrasensory spell to listen to the conversation between the manager and the clerk of Honeydukes.

They can't find that place at all. If it weren't for our crystal ball recording it, they would think we were lying."

Draco looked solemn: "You mean, they can't get in?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "No, they can't find it at all."

She looked at Harry and said word by word: "That place, if you don't look for it on purpose, you can only be found at a certain critical point, otherwise it will be ignored.

So, Harry, did you really walk in by accident? You can't find that place by accident." (End of this chapter)
