Chapter 293: In-depth Study of Boggart
"Under what circumstances were these data obtained?" Yang Tian asked puzzled.
At this time, a scholar responded with an embarrassed look on his face, "The thing is, there is a colleague in our team who is particularly afraid of the Niffler because of some experiences when he was young. In order to ensure the safety when collecting texture difference points, we asked that colleague to transform the Boggart into the Niffler before conducting the experiment. Because of this, the texture difference points we found can make the transformed Boggart have the ability to transform into the Niffler."
"But how do you define the original form of Boggart?" Yang Tian continued to ask in confusion. "In the information I have read, no one has ever seen its true form; or it can be said that it exists in any form!"
"That's right. It's because Boggart can exist in any form. So in our definition, we just set any form as "1", and based on "1", we can transform into other forms, such as "2" or "3" and so on. This is also an important step forward." The respondent revealed a hint of pride in his words.
However, Yang Tian keenly noticed the problem, or in other words, their current research direction had deviated from the correct track.
Yang Tian stared intently at those seemingly coherent but confusing texture differences, thinking about the two unique skills of Boggart - Transfiguration and Legilimency... He couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
"That's right, it's the power of telepathy!" Yang Tian thought to himself, then he concentrated and used the powerful power of his mind to outline a magical structure.
The next moment, his eyes lit up and he shouted loudly, "Prepare a large cupboard for me immediately. The bigger the better. It would be best if the space inside the cupboard is cast with a traceless extension spell! In addition, bring the Boggart here as well!"
His tone was full of urgency and excitement, as if he had discovered some extremely important secret.
Upon seeing this, the group of Transfiguration experts couldn't help but show excitement on their faces. Except for the group of people who went to prepare according to the order, the rest of the people had already started whispering.
"Is this another inspiration? Today is the first day of the new semester!" Adrian muttered softly.
“Who knows, but he does look alike! Let’s hurry up, inspiration is often fleeting.” Siara hurriedly ordered.
After hearing the conversation between the bosses, the group couldn't help but speed up their movements...
After a while, a shabby-looking cabinet was brought to the scene.
Yang Tian gently waved the ancient magic wand and released an Eagle Eye spell in the kitchen cabinet; after thinking for a while, he cast a trace into it that could sense the surrounding objects; then he walked back to his original position with satisfaction.
Then, a scholar followed his request and threw the Boggart he had just taken into the cupboard...
When the cabinet door closed, the image of a Niffler quickly emerged in Yang Tian's mind. However, without its target to imitate, it became confused almost instantly, and the next moment it turned back into... a cloud of turbid mist?
Yang Tian was a little confused. Could this cloud of mist be the true form of the Boggart? He couldn't help but start adjusting the angle of the Eagle Eye spell and observing carefully...
After a long while, Yang Tian had a bold guess in his mind, and he immediately gave an order to the intelligent computer: "Based on telepathy, analyze part of the Boggart's lifeline structure." In fact, he just gave this order with the mentality of giving it a try. No matter what the result is, he will not be disappointed.
Time passed by, but the scholars around did not dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the genius's wonderful thinking. Even Professor McGonagall, who came back from get out of class, did not attract everyone's attention. Professor McGonagall also noticed the strange atmosphere around her and could not help but ask what happened. When she learned that Yang Tian seemed to have a new inspiration, she could not help but be overjoyed.
About half an hour later, Yang Tian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly showed excitement. But in a flash, when he completely integrated the analysis results in his mind into his memory, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When the experts and professors present saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.
Professor McGonagall, who was familiar with Yang Tian, could not help but ask directly: "Yang Tian, what happened? Don't just focus on managing your expression. If you have any new discoveries, please tell us so that we can discuss it together."
Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Yang Tian quickly replied: "Professor, don't worry, this is what happened. I was actually impressed by the professors' good vision. They actually chose such a difficult creature as our research object... How should I put it? It is definitely the most difficult research target so far, no doubt about it."
In fact, Yang Tian was not making up stories. You know, the first sentence of the analysis given by the intelligent computer was: Boggart is a hybrid organism that combines the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and this is the basis for it to change into various forms of organisms.
Good man, this is the first time Yang Tian has faced a so-called hybrid organism. This reminds him of the contents of the "Five Elements Chaos Sutra" he had obtained before. Of course, compared with the five elements of chaos described in the book, this Boggart is simply incomparable, at most it is just a prototype that has not yet entered the door. But even so, it is enough to shock him...
However, Yang Tian would never reveal the detailed information no matter what.
Although the experts didn’t know the details, they were dumbfounded when they heard Yang Tian’s words. Siara also said in disbelief: “Tell me the details.”
"Well, the first thing we want to say is that the difference in texture that you found is not from the Boggart, but from the Niffler." As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a bomb exploding in the crowd, causing an uproar.
"Sniff?" the experts exclaimed.
"That's right, because I have done in-depth research on the Niffler. So..." Before Yang Tian finished speaking, a group of experts had already nodded seriously in agreement.
Seeing this, Yang Tian didn't waste any more words, but smiled and continued to explain: "The research angle I chose is the characteristics of Boggart. First of all, I need to explain that the true form of Boggart is a ball of mist. The reason why I opened the cupboard just now was to observe the Boggart's body when no one was around through the Eagle Eye Spell I just created." He deliberately didn't mention the matter of Trace Thread, otherwise, it would be too much trouble.
As he spoke, Yang Tian used the ancient magic wand to draw out a strand of silver memory thread, showing the image of Boggart's true form to everyone.
Suddenly, exclamations rang out again...
