harry potter book of crimes

The walls here are black, the floor tiles here are black, the ceiling here is black, and the twelve doors here are also black.

They are set equidistantly around the circular room on the curved brick wall.

In fact, there are some metal lamp stands on the wall, with three candles inserted on each stand. However, the original blue candlelight has been extinguished, making this room deep underground that has not been invaded by gray fog become like a fog.

The night is so dark... No, maybe it's darker than that, because everything here is black.

With a wave of her hand, Maka pushed open the magic elevator gate that could no longer open automatically, and walked in holding a soft light in her other hand.

"Speaking of which, I have actually always wanted to come here and walk through every hall, because there are still many magical mysteries hidden here that may not be useful, but are mostly complex and interesting."

Maka led Sarah, who was following him closely, and said to herself as she walked inside:

"Look! Behind that door is the planet room. It should have been built by magic by some wizards who liked to study astronomy in ancient times. Entering it is like really stepping into the starry sky. It's just that some planets have been destroyed by magic because they have been running for too long.

It’s not very stable. Pluto, for example, often explodes..."

"I think the room next door can be called the 'Brain Hall'. I guess it has something to do with you alchemists. There is a huge glass water tank in there, which seems to contain brains activated by alchemy. I

I guess that might be another way that ancient alchemists considered pursuing 'immortality'..."

"The room next to it..." Maka said, moving her arm to the left again, pointing to the third door, "Oh, it's the Time Hall. I've been there a few times... and it feels a bit like me.

It’s a delicate fate.”

He didn't seem to want to introduce the situation in the Time Hall to Sarah, and went through it in just one sentence. Soon, his finger pointed at the fourth black door.

"By the way, this is the right room." Maka nodded, "Professor Dumbledore said that there is a power that is 'more magical and more terrifying than death, than wisdom, and than nature.'

, and at the same time... it is also a very important power that is missing in your soul."

"Is this the 'love' you mentioned before?" Sarah said immediately.

"That's just what Professor Dumbledore calls it," Maka spread her hands, "Actually, I don't quite understand what its essence is... I just think that it can be 'love', but it can also be

It's 'sin'."

After the words fell, when Sarah couldn't help but look confused and fell into thinking after hearing it, Maka walked straight towards the door step by step.

"I wanted to pay attention to them before, but it was not very convenient because this is the Ministry of Magic; and then, I no longer have the time... Including today, I can only take a look at this one first, and the others

We have to see if we have that opportunity in the future.”

After saying that, he reached out his hand and gently touched the black door.

"By the way, it's locked...in Dumbledore's words, 'always locked'."

"No one has opened it?"

After Sarah heard this, she finally stopped her thoughts, which seemed to be meaningless to her at present, and approached the door.

"To be precise, it's 'no one can open'." Maka said, "Most of the buildings buried deep underground in the Ministry of Magic have been repaired and rebuilt, but only the Department of Mysteries has always maintained the original appearance of the Wizards' Council.

The appearance of the period. For no other reason than that it cannot be changed by modern wizards' methods alone, including this 'locked' door."

While speaking, his palm was still gently pressed against the door panel, carefully exploring the secret of the door that could not be opened.

"Oh, suddenly I thought about it, I think I should also say sorry to you." Maka said casually, "I brought you here not just to replenish your soul, I also have my own

Purpose Before, you asked me why I didn’t hide myself and study hard, right? In fact, the power hidden behind this door may allow me to take a step ahead of Haierbo and find out the true meaning of the soul rules. While helping you, I am also

Helping myself, this is what I called 'mutual use' at the time."

Having said this, he suddenly stared at the door in front of him and blinked, then suddenly showed a smile.

"I see."

"Is there any way you can open the door?" Sarah asked immediately after hearing this.

"No," Maka shook her head, "I seem to understand without opening the door. This door may be just a 'symbol'. Just like the power here is also just a 'symbol'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly bent down slightly, gently took Sarah's wrist, and slowly put her palm against the door.

"Put your hands on it. This should help you feel the 'power' there more easily. Close your eyes and relax your mind. Don't resist and try to feel it."

After helping Sarah do all this, Maka immediately followed her and closed her eyes slightly, and the two of them stood there quietly with their hands on the door.

Time passed bit by bit, the surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, it was as if the whole world was moving away from the two of them.

Unknowingly, Sarah felt that her consciousness, which had been so clear since her "birth" that year, was slowly blurring here.

"What...is this...feeling."

After a moment, Maka couldn't help but open his eyes slightly and glanced at Sarah beside him. Then, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows secretly.

"So fast?" He whispered to himself, "Well, although it is a 'flawed product', after all, the pure and incomparable soul 'door lock' created by peak alchemy will not have much effect on her.

In comparison, I feel more like a failure."

It was obvious that Maka had indeed understood the nature of this door and the "lock" on the door.

In fact, the so-called "door lock" comes from the "lock" in the heart of every person who stands in front of the door and tries to enter. When you think it is locked, then it is locked.

The heavier the person, the more difficult it is to enter the "door".

And a pure and transparent soul like Sarah might not need the guidance Maka just gave her, and could enter it accidentally by herself.

But for Maca, this is a bit difficult.

"The idea is right, there is nothing wrong with bringing her here," he looked at the closed door and couldn't help but sigh, "I just missed a little bit... I may not be able to open this door...

...even if you already understand its principle.”

"unless"

Suddenly, he took back his hand, looked down at his palm and thought about it secretly.
