Chapter 555 Soul Weapon
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
"I want a body. A physical body."
After seeing that his hidden face was revealed, Black Mist no longer concealed his state and thoughts. Although he still had his original voice, his cold tone already seemed subconsciously alienating.
The request it made made Luke frown.Luna felt displeased.Peeves was deeply disappointed.
Now, Peeves can say that he is definitely not the one who is most familiar with this laboratory.But this black mist.If this black mist has not obtained a method from this laboratory that can transform souls into entities, then it will naturally be even more impossible for him.
What made him feel even more desperate was.This black mist may be able to gain new life with the help of a human body.But not Peeves.It's not that he hasn't tried. No matter how hard the professors guarded him, they couldn't guard against Peeves all the time.After all, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.
However, the results of a few attempts were not ideal, and could even be said to be very poor. After that, Peeves also gave up on the most common way for ghosts to obtain entities.
And not just Peeves, all the ghosts living within Hogwarts are in this state.At least within the scope of Hogwarts, there are no ghosts that can possess living people.
As for whether this is because they no longer have such ability, or whether they are simply restricted by Hogwarts Castle, this is indeed something they don't know.
After all, they couldn't live without Hogwarts Castle, so naturally they had no chance to confirm this matter.
Also, possessing students is too dangerous.Although the professors have relaxed their vigilance enough about the ghosts in the castle.But they are so familiar with the students.Intense classes allow them to meet with a group of students several times a day.
Because there are too few professors.Especially in the lower grades, students cannot rely on course selection to divert students, and all the teaching pressure is concentrated on those professors.
The most important factor affecting memory is repetition.Even if you just look at it and don't really memorize it, you will have enough memory after repeating it many times.
In other words, after one year, professors can understand a class with only a small number of students.Even their small movements can be easily distinguished.The possessed students control their actions, and the best outcome is to be kicked out by the professors.As for the worst outcome...
The ghosts have already died once.They really don't want to experience the feeling of death again.What's more, there is no chance of being a ghost this time.They will literally fall into eternal silence.
Therefore, finding a usable body in Hogwarts Castle is not only unrealistic on an operational level.The vast majority of wizards studying and working at Hogwarts would not agree.
"impossible."
Luke's answer was not what Peeves expected.
"I don't need a living person, a fresh corpse will do."
Kurogiri quickly added his request.
But Luke doesn't think he forgot to mention it in the first place.
"Impossible is impossible."
Luke still shook his head forcefully.This does not mean that he should pretend to be righteous.In fact, if he could really restrain or even subdue the guy in front of him with just a fresh corpse, then he probably wouldn't refuse.
Luke is definitely not a partner in justice.Egoists may try to flatter themselves.But I don’t really believe that the gold on it is my own.
"You want a body, even if it is a fresh body, it will take a lot of effort to transport it into Hogwarts Castle. Because there are many wizards here, most of them will not care about me carrying one. Turning a blind eye to the matter of corpses.”
Luke looked very serious when he said this.But even Peeves, who was not that familiar with Luke, didn't believe what he said.
Peeves still believes that other students can't transport corpses to school, but if you want to say that Luke Gaunt can't do anything, isn't that the same as saying that Dumbledore can't do anything?
Who would believe this?
But Peeves' reaction was also very quick.Of course some people will believe this.That black mist will believe it.No matter how much truth or falsehood there is in what the other person just said.This thing has never left this laboratory. This should be the biggest reality.
In other words, the other party may have some common sense that they don’t know where they learned or inherited.But the other party knows nothing about the outside world.At least I didn’t know that a student would have such power and momentum.
And Black Mist's reaction was not beyond everyone's expectations.
"I can help you. I can give you this condition. All I need is that you bring me a usable body."
Luke heard Kurogiri's eagerness, so he showed some nervousness. He seemed to have been persuaded.
"What about the benefits? What benefits can I get?"
If you feel that the other party's requirements are acceptable to you, then it is natural to negotiate terms.
"I can give you whatever you want! No matter..."
"Don't say useless things. Your ability can't seduce me!"
Luke interrupted Kurogiri directly: "Speak realistically, tell me something you can give now."
Obviously, a capable and motivated person should behave like a capable and motivated person.
"What do you want when you come to this laboratory? You can't give me anything else, but the things in this laboratory are enough to meet most of your requirements."
Seeing Luke's attitude, Black Mist stopped beating around the bush.He didn't know what the guy across from him was capable of.But the greed shown in the fluctuations of the opponent's soul can still be felt.
This is not caused by its ability, but by the person's genuine greed.It's okay, a little desire is a good thing.A person who has desires and abilities is even better.Such talents can be cooperated and relied on.If a person has no desires or demands, then you have to pay attention when he helps you.It’s not that free is the most expensive.
But if you have no desires or demands, you can't guarantee the effectiveness of the other party's work, and whether he will give up the job in the future.
"I initially thought that there would be research on soul embodiment here, but judging from your reaction, this thing probably doesn't exist."
Luke's voice was a little low: "So, Ms. Hufflepuff, what exactly are you studying here?"
"Soul Embodiment... This seems to have been her research direction. But later, I don't know why, she gave up after all. Later, her research direction changed to soul weapons. To be precise, it was a big weapon for the soul. Weapons of scale.”
Heiwu's tone was calm, without any ups and downs.
But in Luke's eyes, he could still see the uneasiness in the other party.The mood swings are quite big.Although the other party has a lot of experience from who knows where.But in Luke's opinion, this thing also has some big problems.
Although it has scheming, testing, and operations.But it's too immature.Clearly not much practice.This is too incongruous with the proficiency it displays.
Therefore, the testing must continue.
"Soul weapon, take it out and have a look."
Luke continued.
"Okay, you come closer and uncork the bottle. I am locked in this bottle. The biggest role is to ensure that no one will get close to this bottle. The soul weapon stored in the upper half of it will not be leaked."
As he spoke, Black Mist split his body into two halves, with only the bottom parts connected.I'm actually torn apart.At the same time, he revealed the weird-looking bottle behind him.
This thing is simply too conspicuous.If you get it to one of those magical item shops in Diagon Alley, you can sell it for a good price just based on its appearance.And if it is sold to a Muggle store, the price will only be even more outrageous.
What's more, this thing is obviously not just about appearance.But the inside is not simple either.
Apart from anything else, the string in Luke's head has been tense since the black fog appeared in front of him.The sense of crisis was like a hedgehog, jumping and pricking in Luke's heart.
"Okay."
After a moment of silence, Luke stepped forward and slowly stepped forward.
Luna glanced at Luke worriedly, but in the end she didn't say anything and just silently supported Luke.At the same time, Peeves wanted to say something to remind him, but he didn't have the chance to say anything.The restraint he had just loosened a little was tightened again.There are even preparatory movements to rush forward.
Peeves is really crying.They can both see that the other party has malicious intentions, but Luke's risky behavior seems to have him paying for it in the end...
Luke approached the black mist and the bottle step by step.To be honest, this short journey is actually not easy to walk.Luke's spiritual intuition was a constant warning.Luke himself has raised his vigilance to the highest level.
He never underestimates any opponent.And when this opponent behaves in a very contradictory manner, it is natural that more defenses are needed.
On the other hand, Black Mist looked calm and composed.In fact, they must be on guard.Greed, fear, and crazy emotions are constantly surging.In Luke's field of vision, this thing has turned into colorful black.
"Come on, hurry up."
Black Mist urged.
Luke wasn't impatient.He kept his own pace and got closer to the other person little by little.
At this time, Luke was already close to the black mist's attack range.At this time, the black mist remained unmoved and looked very sincere.
When the other party made no move, Luna actually felt a little relieved.After all, this way, the other party probably didn't lie completely.At the very least, it shouldn't really be trying to lure Luke there and then take over Luke's body.
but……
Luke knew very well that the other party's purpose at the beginning could not be such a simple thing.
He was already standing in front of the black mist.Black Mist compressed its body, making itself flatter and taller.
At this time, Luke was like a high wall in front of him, full of oppression.
But Luke didn't look nervous. He looked at the bottle getting closer and closer to him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Can I just open it?"
"You can see the soul weapon when you open it. But you have to close it immediately. That thing is still sleeping, but if you open it for too long and let it wake up, then you may not be able to close it again. I won’t get into this bottle anymore.”
Perhaps because of his current posture, Hei Wu's voice became a bit ethereal.In fact, Luke was also curious, in what way did the other party make a sound?Luke was certain that the sound was not transmitted from the soul, but came to his ears through the air.
Luke nodded and reached for the bottle.And just when he was about to touch the bottle, a faint blue flame appeared on his hand.And the black mist also hit Luke instantly, like pushing down a mountain of gold and knocking over a jade pillar.
In the blink of an eye, the situation has undergone incomprehensible changes.
Luna subconsciously controlled Peeves to step forward to cover Luke.But before the desperate Peeves could float a few steps away, the black mist was already entangled with Luke.Although Luna was able to be ruthless and let Peeves cover Luke before anything happened to Luke.
But after Luke's accident, Luna couldn't do such a somewhat despicable thing.
Peeves felt his body free again.He looked at Luna strangely.
The relaxation and ease on the little girl's face disappeared at this time, and she trotted forward with her wand in hand with a solemn expression.
"You can go first."
Luna said to Peeves.
There is no explanation of the specific reasons, nor any explanation of what problems may arise in the future.In short, if you don't want to stay here, you can leave first.
As for Luna herself, she was ready to sacrifice herself to help Luke.
Peeves definitely wants to run away.He was sure that he couldn't defeat the black mist.And that black mist is different from other humans.There is a high probability that that guy has the same origin as him, which means that the other person may also be a creation of Hufflepuff.The other party has a way to really kill him.
Peeves never fought a tough battle.It's normal to want to run.
But there was a voice in his heart that kept stopping him.That's not his conscience. Peeves doesn't have that.That's a feeling.If he left this laboratory now, Peeves would definitely regret it.
Without struggling for too long, Peeves' figure suddenly changed and turned into a cannon.And fired directly at the black mist.
Just like Peeves thought.The black mist can hurt him.In the same way, Peeves' attack was definitely much more difficult for Black Mist than that little girl's attack.
So it subconsciously wants to avoid it.
But at this moment, Heiwu suddenly felt that his whole body froze.
"you!"
After seeing that his hidden face was revealed, Black Mist no longer concealed his state and thoughts. Although he still had his original voice, his cold tone already seemed subconsciously alienating.
The request it made made Luke frown.Luna felt displeased.Peeves was deeply disappointed.
