harry potter book of crimes

The atmosphere on the high tower platform became a little weird.

It was obvious that the two parties were enemies, but they were able to get along peacefully instead of fighting; it was obviously a negotiation, but instead they began to discuss and argue around a few gossips; it was obviously our side's questioning, but it soon turned into the other side correcting their mistakes.

What is going on?

"Why do I feel like I'm back in class listening to the professor's lecture?" Neville whispered to Hannah from the side.

"Well, I feel the same way." Hannah nodded secretly.

Yes, after the Lord of the Living Corpses appeared without warning, the negotiations did not begin, but everyone unconsciously reminisced about the taste of attending lectures at Hogwarts.

In fact, the "Black Professor" sitting in the armchair in front of him is still talking -

"Actually, when I first saw you, I discovered that you, you, and you... you all have the aura of soul rules in your body. Yours is 'anger', and that sword is very powerful when used properly.

; Your word is 'arrogance', which is easier to control than the other branches; and your...oh? Is it 'lust'? Your mastery of this branch is much higher than theirs

, it’s a pity that the most powerful power of this branch is only passively released. You don’t want to become a mobile source of disaster, so you can only restrain yourself and not use it.”

The black finger tapped lightly on Harry, Safina, and Delphi one after another. Each time it pointed at a person, it calmly and naturally stated the strength that the other party relied on most.

However, since he has just admitted his identity as a demon, it seems that it is not so unacceptable that he can see this. After all, these demons who came into the world are themselves derivatives of the rules of the soul.

It is not impossible to even directly say that they are part of the rules of the soul.

However, this guy had already told Harry and the others their secrets, but everyone still had almost no understanding of this self-proclaimed "greedy" demon and master of living corpses beyond the surface.

This feeling is not good at all!

But no one, including Harry and the other three, wanted to hear what the other party said about the rules of the soul.

So that guy...is still talking.

"...So I think you should be the ones who can best feel the different powers of each branch of the soul rules and the spiritual meaning contained in them." The lazy black figure continued to talk leisurely, "You should think about it yourself.

Now, what kind of power has the soul rule lent you? And what impact has it had on you? If you hold 'anger' in your hand, are you really angry all the time? If you have mastered 'arrogance', then you

Are you really being arrogant and arrogant from the bottom of your heart? Especially you, 'Lust'... Oh, forget it! Although we devils have no gender, I still learned something while learning your human language -

—It does seem impolite to talk about this in the presence of an unmarried lady."

After waving his hands slightly and skipping the question for the time being, he finally said:

"In short, don't take the 'big sin' too superficially and one-sidedly. And this... is what I want you to understand before I come here to start negotiations with you today. If you don't understand this,

, I’m afraid I can’t say anything about the content of the subsequent negotiations.”

From the beginning of the debate to the second half of the "lecture", he was almost all talking alone, and the other people present seemed to have really become students, unable to get a word in at all.

And it was only now, when everyone realized that the other party had finally finished speaking, that someone was able to speak:

"Now that you've finished speaking, can the negotiations begin?"

The person speaking now was Mr. Blois.

But in fact, if the other party hadn't come back to this topic in the end, even he, a person who was on the edge of the matter, might not have been able to think of it so quickly.

However, just when everyone thought that today's negotiations were finally about to officially begin, they saw the Lord of the Living Corpses calmly shaking his head.

"No," he said, "although I also want to start now. After all, no matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, the time of both of us will become extremely precious. However, unfortunately, it is not possible yet - people can

Not all are here yet!”

"No one's here yet?" Hermione, who finally recovered from the content about soul rules just now, couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Who else is there?"

But the other party still said calmly:

"Didn't we agree at that time? You can prepare the time and place as you please, and only three of us will come to the meeting. This is one of the many sincerities I have shown to you. However, if three people come forward to negotiate, this is already

This is the minimum we have here, so I can’t be the only one talking to you, right?”

"That's no problem," Hermione said. "In fact, the preparations I arranged are mainly for self-protection. As long as you don't do something today, how can we take the initiative to trouble you?"

"Well," the other party nodded slightly, but then shook his head slightly and said, "I believe that the purpose of your preparations is mainly for defense, but... you all seem to have misunderstood something? In fact, most of the living zombies are

It's true that you call me 'Master', but I am a devil after all. In addition to some guidance that I think is necessary, the future of the living zombies still needs to be fought for by themselves. I am not qualified and have no need to do it for them.

Making too many decisions.”

It was agreed that three people must be three people. It seems that the other party has already considered this. It's just that the master of the living zombies is coming too fast now, and the twin living zombies seem to have to wait a little longer to catch up.

arrive.

"I didn't expect that the twins still have a position in the zombie clan that can make decisions for the whole clan?" Ginny said softly to Hermione beside her.

"Well," Hermione nodded, "I didn't expect that... Oh, it must be the long-haired girl zombie, right? She is indeed very smart."

Because the words of the Lord of the Living Corpses are very persuasive, although everyone may not completely believe what he says, at least there are no obvious loopholes to exploit on the surface.

There were only three people on the living corpse side, which was indeed interesting enough, but now only one has arrived - even though this master of the living corpse is undoubtedly the most important person, everyone has no choice but to sit or stand and continue to wait.

And it was only then that everyone who had gained some leeway noticed that Luna, who was sitting opposite the target and was temporarily pulled by Hermione to be a negotiator, had not said a word yet.
