harry potter book of crimes

No matter how dull you are, once you see Malfoy's contradictory behavior of running away while shouting for help, you will probably be able to see some clues from it.

Not to mention, Maka is a type of person who is relatively sensitive to other people's psychological activities.

Therefore, in the process of thinking while chasing Malfoy, he not only quickly deduced some possibilities, but also had some guesses as to why Voldemort did this.

In fact, due to a series of studies on the Bewitched Monument, he also had a quite detailed understanding of Voldemort's past state. He had also thought about it before, in fact, after Voldemort was resurrected, he was always in some kind of very dangerous situation.

situation.

According to the contents of the "Book of Sins", Voldemort has almost become a humanoid self-propelled explosive that will detonate from time to time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can be completely eroded by the power of the Bewitched Monument at any time.

And since even he understood this, wouldn't someone like Voldemort not understand it?

Therefore, Malfoy may indeed be Voldemort's back-up, but he is definitely not doing this for some "ambition" similar to the past, he is just doing it for himself.

In other words, Voldemort has most likely managed to transfer the power in his body to Malfoy. As for the opportunity to transfer the energy...

"Maybe this is his 'death'...?" Maka, who was following Malfoy running wildly, thought in her mind.

Back then, Voldemort discovered the method of making Horcruxes from the secret area of ​​the Hogwarts library, and after confirming its effect, he decided to create his own Horcruxes. Moreover, he thought that making only one Horcrux was not enough.

After the insurance, he produced several pieces in succession.

This undoubtedly shows that he is very afraid that death will come to him one day.

Since he is so afraid of death, what will he do when he discovers that he is very likely to have his will taken away by the power of the Bewitched Monument?

No longer afraid of death once or twice, he chose at a certain moment to completely give up the extra strength he had gained from his own impulse.

He didn't dare to bet - he didn't dare to bet that the strange energy would give up after his death; he didn't dare to bet that the next time he was resurrected, the power of the Bewitching Monument would not be as strong as if it were attached to his bones.

Like gangrene, it follows the weak connection between the soul fragments.

"Thinking about it this way, Voldemort's 'death'... is really a bit suspicious."

Maka sighed secretly in her heart, then hurried forward a few steps, and then slowly stopped in the forest clearing with sparse tree shadows.

"Malfoy, can't you run anymore?" He looked at the figure not far in front of him and said casually, "In order to wait for you to stop, I have been chasing you on the mountain road for so long. Look back.

You have to thank me properly."

"McLean——"

Maka walked in front of him, looked him up and down, then turned her head and nodded towards her shoulder.

"Xiaoba, that's it."

After he finished speaking, he saw a small black dot immediately jump to the back of his raised hand, and then he easily turned over from the sleeve and got in. It was obvious that at this time, Malfoy was already covered in sweat.

There was a faint layer of grayish white.

"Let me tell you the truth! The black energy on your body is very distinctive, so unless I stop you in this way, I can only..."

After putting away the spider, Maka tentatively explained to Malfoy. Although he didn't finish what he said, there was actually no need for him to say more. The black aura on Malfoy's body was the same as that emitted by the Black Death Apostles.

He is extremely resistant to conventional spells, and if Maka uses the power of rules on him, half of his life will be taken away on the spot even if he does not die.

"I... understand..." Malfoy responded with difficulty, "McLean, please save me... I don't want to..."

"You don't want to lose yourself, do you?" Maka nodded, "Then, first of all, tell me, how long can you maintain this state?"

"I don't know..." Malfoy said, "When I was in school, I just turned around and didn't know anything... No, it wasn't that I didn't know at all, but my consciousness suddenly became blurred. And there.

After that, I vaguely felt as if the little bit of consciousness I had left would be completely wiped out by it..."

"In other words, will it turn back to the 'violent mode' before?" Maka said thoughtfully.

He was naturally very interested in the status of people controlled by the Bewitched Monument. But it was just because that power was possessed by Voldemort that he had no intention of exploring it in detail. But it was different with Malfoy.

.

Malfoy does not have as deep a magical foundation as Voldemort, so even if he becomes the worst state, he has the ability to completely suppress the opponent. The worst is that Malfoy will suffer a little, but this can be regarded as making Malfoy

One of the steps needed to get rid of the entanglement of the Bewitching Monument.

However, Malfoy seemed a little confused about what Maka said.

"Violent mode?" He paused briefly, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know?" Maka thought for a moment and said, "Oh, that's right -"

Of course Malfoy didn't know, because the reason why he was able to regain himself was entirely because that bewitching will inadvertently created an opportunity for him. If the voice hadn't also awakened his consciousness, he wouldn't have.

Maybe he regained control of part of his body during a period of chaos.

However, since Malfoy didn't know what happened when he was nearly unconscious, Maka had no way of knowing. So far, he has not been able to fully understand the key to the incident.

However, changes always come unexpectedly and quietly.

"Then tell me first, what exactly happened when you discovered something was wrong? And when was it?"

After Maka asked this question, Malfoy paused for a while.

"What happened? Well..." he said, "I just had nightmares. I had nightmares every day for a long time, which made it impossible for me to have a good rest. At that time -"

"Having a nightmare, right?" Maka suddenly interrupted him, "Have you dreamed of something terrible? Is it you?"

"Uh...what?" Malfoy said blankly.

"I don't have much time today, so don't play this trick with me." Maka waved her hand and said, "From the moment your eyes suddenly changed, there is no point in acting in front of me.

.”

"Hmph, is that right?"

When Maka finished speaking, Malfoy, who was still struggling, immediately put away his expression and his tone became cold.

"What should I say? As expected of McClain?" He sneered, "I just pushed him down and you discovered it... It's really amazing, so amazing that I want to applaud you!"

"There's no need to applaud," Maka said with a slight frown, "So, who are you?"

"Huh? Don't you recognize me?" the other party said very naturally, "Who else could it be besides Draco Malfoy?"

It's rare to see such a person be so arrogant when his whole body is trapped by the petrification effect and cannot move. Maka frowned and looked at it again, already thinking about whether to pull it off first.

I took out Malfoy's soul for a preliminary check.

"Should I say you are courageous? Or should I say you are confident?" Maka said casually while thinking about it, "Why, do you think I don't have the ability to remove you from this body?"

"Hey, it seems you haven't fully understood what kind of existence 'I' am..." The other party sneered and said frankly, "McLean, you are indeed very powerful. If it is possible, I definitely don't want to imagine it."

To express hostility to you head on like this...at least not yet."

At this point, he paused for a moment, but then continued: "But once I'm in a situation where I have to confront you in advance, I don't think there's anything to fear."

"How to say?"

Hearing what this "Malfoy" said, Maka couldn't help but feel a little curious. But curiosity was all about curiosity. If the other party made any changes, he would not hesitate to completely complete the petrification effect.

"Didn't I just say the reason?" He replied lightly, "Because, I am Draco Malfoy, do you understand?"

Seeing this guy repeating this sentence again, Maka couldn't help but think for a moment, and finally understood the meaning of his words.

"So that's it..."

The power of the Bewitching Monument is based on a part of the rules of the soul, which Maka has long understood. But when it comes to specifically how to erode the souls of others, the detailed process is difficult to determine.

Maka's temporary understanding of it is that the Bewitching Monument also has a will and "occupies" the object's body in the form of intervening energy.

At the reminder of the other party, Maka suddenly thought of another possibility - maybe it wasn't "occupation" at all, but directly changing the soul of the object.

Therefore, the "Malfoy" in front of him might actually be Malfoy himself!

"In other words," Maka looked at the other person and said, "What you rely on is that I can't kill you directly?"

If he was confident based on this alone, Maka could only say that he was just being smart. However, he obviously felt that his idea was not wrong.

"Isn't it enough?" He glanced at Maka lightly and said, "I - I can be considered one of the people who sees everything you do. It's really amazing. If those things happened around you

If you put it on others, a lot of people will die every time. However, you can make everyone around you safe and sound——"

"Hmph, look at my face... Just now, the other me seemed to be asking you for help! Can you really turn a blind eye to this?"
