Chapter 725 Next, conquer the magic!
After devouring the souls of three Death Eaters, the Dementors drifted away. They floated over Azkaban Prison, like loyal guards of the gates of hell, so evil that it made people shudder.
The execution is over!
Scrimgeour led the Aurors forward and after a brief check of the Death Eaters' condition, he said expressionlessly, "Take them back!"
Several Aurors drew their wands and controlled the bodies of the three Death Eaters to float up...
Or the body?
These Death Eaters are not truly dead, their bodies are still alive, they have just lost their souls.
Is this death?
Andy couldn't explain it clearly.
In the magical world, the body decays, but the soul does not. As long as the soul is immortal, it is not considered true death.
Where do the Death Eaters' souls go?
At the moment when the Dementors devoured the soul, Andy felt the breath of the dimension of death.
So...does the soul go to the death dimension?
At this moment, Andy thought of Dumbledore's words again: For those who are very clear-headed, death is just another great adventure!
What exactly is death?
Is physical death true death?
Or does it mean that only when the soul goes to the dimension of death can it be considered true death?
More than a decade ago, Voldemort was hit by a rebounded Killing Curse, and many people said that Voldemort was dead.
But Dumbledore said that Voldemort had simply lost his power.
He became a wandering spirit!
A wandering spirit is different from a ghost.
Ghosts are really dead! Although they can live forever in the world, for ghosts, this is a torture more cruel than death.
Also, what is the soul?
Why can the soul be immortal?
There are too many questions bothering Andy's mind, making it impossible for him to calm down and think quietly.
……
The Aurors left with the bodies of the Death Eaters.
Andy didn't stay long. After watching the Dementors floating in the sky for a while, Andy came to the edge of the island.
"Professor?" Andy called softly.
Snape's figure slowly appeared.
Seeing this, Andy also lifted the Disillusionment Spell.
"Professor, have you found anything?" Andy asked first.
Snape: "..."
This question is not easy to answer.
Dementor's Kiss...it's evil, and cruel.
The souls of the Death Eaters were devoured by Dementors.
Ok……
and then?
Snape was a professor, at least he had been.
He felt he should say something instead of saying he had discovered nothing.
But he's not good at this.
Without waiting for Snape to answer, Andy asked again: "Professor, do you think those Death Eaters are really dead?"
"Their bodies are still alive!"
"I heard it, they still have a heartbeat!"
This question made Snape feel relieved.
"Collins, what do you think death is?" Snape asked back.
"Death of the body..."
Andy raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "Or maybe the soul cannot survive in this world?"
"Well...that's not right!"
"Ghosts can exist in the world for thousands of years. They have memories, thoughts, and even clear self-awareness. Although they cannot touch physical objects, ghosts do retain their memories of their previous lives."
At this moment, Andy was really conflicted.
The more you know, the more questions you have.
Fear will also come with it.
Andy even had a creepy guess - humans might just be creatures kept in captivity by some unknown entity.
The wizard's power comes from this unknown existence!
Just like the world in a painting created by a wizard.
Maybe the real world is just a bigger painting?
"Collins!"
Seeing that Andy's thoughts were a little confused, Snape said in a slightly heavier tone: "Everyone has a different understanding of death, but you must first know... what is living!" Death can be a philosophical issue or a practical issue.
From a realistic point of view, the three Death Eaters can only be regarded as the living dead, or vegetables.
But they have no soul.
There is no hope of recovery.
After a moment of silence, Andy suddenly said, "When the Dementors devoured souls, I felt the breath of the death dimension."
Snape frowned slightly. "The arch?"
"Yes!" Andy nodded.
Snape was silent for a while, then said: "The Dark Lord has said more than once that he has gained eternal life."
"The Horcrux preserved his soul, which allowed his body to be reborn infinitely... just like that resurrection ceremony."
Speaking of Horcruxes, Snape's tone was somewhat complicated.
He didn't want to discuss this with Andy.
So he just stopped there.
"Horcrux..."
Andy had a vague understanding.
Voldemort's way of preventing death is to intercept the flow of his own soul.
It turns out that this method is feasible!
As long as the soul fragment in the Horcrux is not damaged, the owner of the Horcrux will not truly die.
From this perspective, at the moment of physical death, the soul will also be harmed, and this harm will cause the soul to die along with the body.
If you want to prevent death, you must protect the soul.
Even if it's just a part!
“I think I understand a little bit.”
At this point, Andy's tone became much more relaxed.
Andy actually has only one purpose: to study death and explore the truth of the dimension of death.
That's being alive!
Horcruxes could certainly do that, but Andy didn't want to split his soul.
However, the Horcrux also gave Andy some important inspiration.
When you are alive, the soul and the body will be connected.
When the body dies…aging, disease, injury…whatever causes the body to die, the soul dies with it.
So the function of the Horcrux is to protect the soul.
The elixir of life made from the Philosopher's Stone is intended to slow down the aging of the body.
Then the problem is coming!
What is the difference between a dead soul and a living soul?
It's the mind!
Andy thinks so.
How are ghosts formed?
It's obsession!
Because obsession is part of the soul.
The reason why ghosts feel pain is that they only have obsessions but no other emotions.
They cannot feel happiness or pain, they cannot touch any physical objects, they have obsessions in their hearts but cannot fulfill them. They can only suffer day by day, sinking in the unattainable obsession.
Ghosts can only feel one thing, and that is the obsession before death.
This is their only soul!
"call--"
Andy exhaled lightly, "Professor, let's go back!"
This time, the harvest was great!
As Andy's research deepened, many things came to light.
The truth about magic!
The truth of the world!
Now, these secrets are no longer out of reach.
Andy suddenly felt fortunate.
His own magic power has been integrated into his soul.
"The magic power already belongs to me!"
But this is just the beginning.
Next, all Andy has to do is conquer the magic!
