Chapter 501 Assassination in the Ward

Hermione was somewhat flattered and shook Mrs. Longbottom's hand and said, "Mrs. Longbottom, I didn't expect you to know me."

"Yes, Neville told me about you. You once helped him get through some difficulties, didn't you?" Mrs. Longbottom said to Hermione kindly.

But soon, she looked at Neville with a stern look and said, "But he doesn't have the talent of his father, I have to say..."

Mrs. Longbottom said while looking towards the two beds inside.

Noticing Mrs. Longbottom's gaze, Ron couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? Is that your father over there, Neville?"

Hearing Ron's words, Mrs. Longbottom seemed a little surprised. She looked at Neville and asked sternly: "Neville, haven't you told your friends about your parents?"

Neville took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling, shaking his head slightly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Longbottom immediately said angrily: "Neville! This is nothing to be ashamed of! You should be proud, Neville, proud! They sacrificed their sanity and health not to make their only son ashamed of them. .”

Not far away, Linn and Irina watched Mrs. Longbottom's accusations against Neville and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Even if the Longbottoms were Death Eaters rather than heroes who saved the world, Neville, as their child, would never be ashamed of them!

Neville treats his parents as a secret that he doesn't want to reveal, not because he is ashamed of them, but because... he lacks their company...

When his friends are showing off what kind of toys their parents bought for him, what kind of delicious food they made, and where they went to play, should he tell his friends that his parents live in Have you never been with him in the hospital? !

Mrs. Longbottom said loudly: "This is nothing to be ashamed of! My son and daughter-in-law were tortured crazy by the mysterious man. They are Aurors, very respected in the magical world, and very talented. The two of them... …”

Mrs. Longbottom's eyes were attracted by the person stepping out of the hospital bed.

It was a woman in pajamas. She was Neville's mother, Alice Longbottom, but she looked thin and haggard, completely different from the photos of the Order of the Phoenix that Lynn and Irina had seen from Dumbledore. So mellow and happy.

At this time, Alice's hair looked completely white, messy and dry. She clearly looked like an old man, but her behavior looked like a timid little girl.

Alice gestured timidly towards Neville, holding something in her hand.

The sharp-eyed Irina noticed that it was a wrapper of Chuibao Super Bubble Gum. Obviously, Alice's ability to regard this worthless candy wrapper as so precious must have something to do with her only child.

After all, emotion, especially family affection, is the most valuable added value!

Linn walked forward slowly. He looked into Alice's eyes. He quietly followed the trajectory of Legilimency's magic power and mobilized the magic power in his body.

However, Linn did not want to use Legilimency on Alice, but to explore the state of Alice's soul in a similar way to Legilimency.

Driven mad by the Cruciatus Curse, Alice is definitely not suffering from a simple mental illness.

You must know that the Cruciatus Curse is a completely black magic, and it also causes great harm and destruction to the soul.

Generally speaking, if a wizard is tortured by the Cruciatus Curse once, his soul will be left with a scar that can never be erased.

This is also the reason why wizards who have encountered the Cruciatus Curse can't stop trembling when they hear the incantation of the Cruciatus Curse, even after they recover.

The reason why Irina was not afraid of the Cruciatus Curse, and even learned it and used it against those dark wizards, was because Linn protected her soul with alchemical equipment.

If the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse to the cursed person is a skin injury, then the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse to the soul of the cursed person is a serious internal injury.

If we ignore the trauma caused by the Cruciatus Curse to the soul, then the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse to the wizard's body is not enough to be included in the ranks of the Unforgivable Curse.

People are not afraid to go out because of the bumps and bumps they encounter in daily life, right? !

"Chaotic, complicated, fragmented..."

Linn murmured in a low voice, which was the feedback given by his Legilimency after probing Alice's mind.

In Linn's perception, Alice's soul seemed to be chopped into pieces by thousands of sharp knives. Although it was still a whole and she still maintained an independent personality, her soul was already fragmented inside.

Alice's soul was like a package of crispy noodles that had been completely shattered by violent squeezing and beating, but retained its value because of its intact packaging.

Not only that, the soul power that was shattered in the soul shell was also entangled together under the influence of an evil black magic, just like a tangled ball of twine, messy.

After seeing such a scene, Linn sighed helplessly.

It seems that time travelers are not able to do everything.

Soul magic is really a complex and profound subject...

Among the abilities Linn mastered, those related to soul magic were only well-known magics such as Legilimency and Occlumency, as well as soul alchemy methods such as illusion arrays.

When it comes to healing soul wounds, Lin En has no way.

Studying soul magic is tantamount to allowing Linn to go back to five years ago and learn alchemy from scratch.

If we talk about a demon king-level wizard who has conducted research in the field of soul magic, then there is absolutely no way to escape Voldemort.

However, the other party has studied soul magic for so many years, but what is the result? !

Voldemort chose the stupidest method to split his soul into seven Horcruxes to escape death and dream of eternal life.

This is like a college student who has studied advanced mathematics for more than ten years, but when faced with a simple question like "one plus one", he stupidly gave the answer of "three".

"They are all very brave heroes, Lady Longbottom."

Lynn said so.

Mrs. Longbottom nodded softly to Linn, and then left with Neville.

After learning about Neville's family, no one was interested in staying here anymore. Harry stood up and planned to walk out of the ward.

But just when Irina was about to follow everyone out, a startled glance from the corner of her eye made her frown and stop.

"What's wrong, Irina?"

Linn noticed Irina's expression and asked.

Irina looked at the ugly plant on the bedside of the patient named Broderick.

According to the therapist, it was supposed to be a gift from the patient's friend.

But if Irina saw it correctly, that plant was not an ordinary crab orchid, but a devil's net!

In other words, this was a carefully planned assassination! (End of chapter)
