Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 24 Keeping Secrets

Lu Yunkai threw the notebook with unknown origin into the Room of Requirement, and then returned directly to the dormitory.

He threw his head back on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.

He didn't feel lucky for his alertness.

Although he soon realized that he was bewitched by the magic in the notebook, so he wrote down the questions about Chris in the notebook in a daze. But at a certain moment, he really doubted whether he had made a mistake in letting Chris follow him.

It has too many secrets that it keeps to itself. It's dangerous.

Although, only for a moment.

At that moment, the notebook keenly grasped the changes in his mentality, and then very covertly tried to drive a wedge between him and Chris.

Although it later realized that its alienating behavior had exposed it and tried to save it, which made Lu Yunkai realize that something was wrong with it, it still made Lu Yunkai feel ashamed.

Chris has done so much for herself, yet she has done nothing for it, yet she still doubts it? Why!

And just when Lu Yunkai fell into deep self-examination...

Chris squatted on the head of Lu Yunkai's bed and thought to herself.

"The crown just thrown into Knockturn Alley could be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold Galleons! Meow! Otherwise, when you can leave Hogwarts during the long vacation, go and pick up the notebook and the crown together. Come out, and then go to Knockturn Alley and sell everything..."

"That crown cannot be sold."

Finally unable to bear Chris's thoughts, Lu Yunkai popped his head out from under the quilt.

"Meow, are you finally willing to speak?" Chris stretched out her paw and patted Lu Yunkai's head.

"you……"

"Meow, I don't blame you. I have hidden many things from you. It's normal for you to doubt me. Don't feel sorry for me."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You look like that, whatever is on your mind is written on your face." Chrissy nodded with satisfaction when she saw Lu Yunkai's shocked look, "That's what black magic is like, it can take advantage of the momentary shake of people's hearts to turn them into Pulling in the direction of darkness, do you still have the confidence to face similar temptations in the future? "

"...Okay! I'm getting arrogant." Lu Yunkai sighed.

Thinking about it this way, just feeling sorry for yourself in bed doesn't seem to be a positive way to solve the problem!

Why didn't I think of apologizing to Chris? This kind of issue involving trust, as long as both parties are not honest, something will happen sooner or later! Didn’t you end up falling into the hole that the notebook dug for yourself?

"Meow, you don't have to be too afraid. If black magic is so unsolvable, the mysterious man will not die." Chris smiled and gave Lu Yunkai another boost, "Okay, cheer up and continue. Let’s practice potion making!”

"I want to take a day off today." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I'm a little uncomfortable being plotted by a notebook like this."

"You'd better cheer up!" Chris was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunkai's performance. "It's normal to be plotted by black magic without warning. If you really can't swallow this, just go Learn Occlumency!”

"Occlumency? What is that?"

"A spell that can block other people's exploration and influence on your mind. Jesse learned it specifically to avoid Legilimency from the mysterious man and his men."

"Legilimency? What is that?"

"A kind of spell... meow, you understand it as what Muggles call mind reading." Chrissy shook her head, "Anyway, no matter what it is, you move it, don't lie here and feel sorry for yourself!"

"Mind reading? I'm a little interested in this." Lu Yunkai cheered up, "Let's go! Go to the library, let's look for relevant books!"

"Meow! That's right! The most useful weapon to deal with the negative emotions caused by black magic is to cheer up!" Chrissy nodded and jumped on Lu Yunkai's shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"Eh? You were out shopping all night last night, didn't you want to sleep?"

"Meow, it won't hurt if you miss a little sleep, let's go!"

"……good."

Lu Yunkai nodded.

****

"Lu...Lu Yunkai?"

"...Ah! Professor Quirrell! Why are you here?" Lu Yunkai looked up and saw Quirrell standing behind him, and was startled.

He looked through almost all the books on Charms in the library, but could not find any books on Legilimency. In the end, he had no choice but to ask the librarian, Mrs. Pince.

Then she was warned by Mrs. Pince.

"Just...just now...Mrs. Pingsi told me that you...are you looking for banned books?"

"Ah!! I'm sorry, Professor Quirrell! I didn't know Legilimency was a spell in the forbidden book! I just heard about this spell and was a little curious."

"No...it doesn't matter." Quirrell waved his hands repeatedly, "Although...although this magic is...controlled magic, it is not a forbidden...forbidden skill. It's just that in Hogwarts it's not... teach."

"Is this so?" Lu Yunkai's eyelids twitched, "Then Professor, can you teach me?"

"You...are too young to...can't learn this." Quirrell shook his head.

"That's it! I understand."

"But if you...if you want to learn...Occlumency, I...I can teach you." Quirrell glanced at the book open in front of Lu Yunkai.

What is written above is Occlumency.

"Excuse me. Let me read the book first! If I have any questions, I will ask you for advice." Lu Yunkai smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Okay." Quirrell nodded and left.

Lu Yunkai lowered his head and continued reading.

Only Chris, who was sleeping on his knees, noticed that Lu Yunkai's body was trembling slightly.

"Meow? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "You continue to sleep."

"Meow?" Although Kris was a little doubtful, she still closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Lu Yunkai looked at the book about Occlumency in the book in front of him, but his mood could not be calm for a long time.

Just now he was practicing Occlumency according to what the book said.

According to the book, this Occlumency technique is divided into two steps. The first step is to completely close your brain and completely clear the emotions and thoughts in your head.

It is not difficult for ordinary people to have no thoughts or thoughts, so Lu Yunkai did it quickly.

Then we quickly entered the second step of practice: after sealing off the true emotions and memories in our brain, let go of the other part that we want to express.

very difficult.

This is not just about making up a lie: it also shows that you believe the lie from the bottom of your heart, and you can't even let people find out that you forced yourself to believe this lie...

This is simply an infinite matryoshka doll!

Therefore, Lu Yunkai decided to lower the difficulty first.

Appropriately release some scattered and chaotic "memory", and then practice slowly to "deep process" this part of the memory.

Anyway, he has two memories, each of which is a real "self".

He was just trying to supplement, expand, and rationalize the memory of the former Lu Yunkai: For example, the child who was abandoned and abused since he was a child started to learn magic. He should feel a lack of love to some extent, right? Will he become paranoid? Will you have "blind worship" of power?

In any case, it is an existence that is completely opposite to myself.

But just when he was obsessed with making up stories, Professor Quirrell suddenly came, which startled him.

However, that wasn't the reason why he was trembling just now.

Perhaps because of practicing Occlumency, Lu Yunkai became more sensitive to his own consciousness and emotions. The moment he looked at Professor Quirrell, he felt keenly that Quirrell seemed to want to explore his... idea.

Instinctively, Lu Yunkai knew that it must be Legilimency.

But he still tried hard to suppress that instinctive guess: This is the same logic as that matryoshka doll.

He didn't know if Quirrell believed it or not. He realized that Quirrell wanted to know what he was thinking, because he didn't dare to think about it at all.

Quirrell left, leaving behind a message that he was willing to teach Lu Yun Occlumency.

But Lu Yunkai didn't even have time to rejoice when he immediately thought of a more terrifying question: had Quirrell used Legilimency on himself before? If so, does he know about the existence of that system?

That's why he asked himself if there was a magic stone here? Do you just want to confirm that you can actually interact with the system?

But just now he used Legilimency on Lu Yunkai. What did he see? Is it what Lu Yunkai wants him to see, the personality and memory of the child worker in the beer hall, or is it Lu Yunkai's true thoughts?

What would he think?

The more he thought about this matter, the more Lu Yunkai couldn't stop his body from trembling.

"Chris..."

"What's wrong? Are you cold? Then wear two more clothes when you go back!" Kris looked up again in a daze and looked at Lu Yunkai.

"Well...if you have time, help me keep an eye on Quirrell!"

"Meow?"

"I suspect he already knows the secrets of my system."

"Okay, Meow!" Chris responded very simply, "But he probably doesn't have time to cause trouble for you recently."

"Because Snape was giving him trouble?"

"Meow, not only that. The things in the Forbidden Forest also want to deal with him."

"Forbidden Forest?"

"Don't you want to take care of this? Are you sure you want to know?" Chris tilted her head and looked at Lu Yunkai.

"You say it and I listen."

"Go back to the dormitory tonight! There are many people here." Chris continued to bury her head and sleep.

Lu Yunkai nodded and took a deep breath.

No matter how much Quirrell knew about him, one thing was certain.

This Occlumency technique is really, really, really useful. He must learn it as soon as possible.

Because he really has too many secrets!
