Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 24 Keeping a Secret
Lu Yunkai threw the notebook of unknown origin into the Room of Requirement, and then went straight back to the dormitory.

He stuck his head back on the bed and covered his head under the quilt.

He didn't feel very grateful for his vigilance.

Although he soon realized that he was bewitched by the magic in that notebook, so he wrote down those questions about Chris in the notebook in a daze.But at a certain moment, he really wondered if it was a mistake for him to have Chris by his side.

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

Although, only for a moment.

At that moment, the notebook keenly grasped the change in his mentality, and then secretly tried to separate him and Chris.

Although it later realized that its alienation behavior had exposed it, and tried to make it up, it made Lu Yunkai feel that something was wrong with it, but this still made Lu Yunkai feel ashamed.

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

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

Chris squatted at the head of Lu Yunkai's bed, thinking about it.

"The crown just now, if you throw it in Knockturn Alley, you can sell it for hundreds of thousands of Galleons! Meow! Otherwise, when you can leave Hogwarts for the long vacation, go directly to get the notebook and the crown together Come out, then go to Knockturn Alley and sell them all..."

"That crown cannot be sold."

Finally unable to stand 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 a lot of things to hide from you. It's normal for you to suspect me. Don't feel sorry for me."

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

"Just like you, everything on your mind is written on your face." Seeing Lu Yunkai's shocked look, Chris nodded in satisfaction, "That's what black magic is. Pulling in the direction of darkness, do you still have the confidence to say that you can face similar temptations in the future?"

"...All right! I'm being arrogant." Lu Yunkai sighed.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a positive way to solve the problem just now when I was bored in the quilt and complained about myself!

Why didn't I think about apologizing to Chris?This kind of issue involving trust, as long as the two parties are not honest, something will happen sooner or later!Didn't he finally fall into the hole that the notebook dug for himself?

"Meow, you don't have to be too scared. If black magic is really so incomprehensible, the mysterious man won't die." Chris smiled and cheered Lu Yunkai up, "Okay, cheer up and continue. Let's practice potion making!"

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

"You should keep your spirits up!" Chris was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunkai's performance, "It's normal to be tricked by black magic when you are unprepared, if you really can't swallow this breath, go to Learn Occlumency!"

"Occlumency? What's that?"

"A spell that can block other people's detection and influence on your mind. Jessie learned it before to avoid the mysterious man and his Legilimency."

"Legiliency? What is that?"

"A kind of spell... Meow, you can just understand it as the mind reading technique that Muggles say." Chris shook her head, "Anyway, no matter what it is, you should move for me, and don't lie here complaining about 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 related books!"

"Meow! That's right! To deal with the negative emotions caused by black magic, the most beneficial weapon is to cheer up!" Chris 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 sleep?"

"Meow, it won't hurt to sleep less, let's go!"

"……it is good."

Lu Yunkai nodded.

****
"Lu...Lu Yunkai?"

"...Ah! Professor Quirrell! Why are you here?" Lu Yunkai raised his head and was shocked when he saw Quirrell standing behind him.

He almost rummaged through books related to Charms in the library, but he couldn't find any books on Legilimency. In the end, he had no choice but to ask the librarian Mrs. Pince.

Then Mrs. Pince gave a warning.

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

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

"It's...it's okay." Quirrell waved his hands again and again, "Although...although this magic is... controlled by... controlled magic, it is not forbidden... Forbidden. It's just that Hogwarts is not teach."

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

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

"That's it! I see."

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

It says Occlumency.

"Excuse me. I'll read the book first! If I have any questions, I'll 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 lap, noticed that Lu Yunkai's body was trembling slightly.

"Meow? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Go ahead and sleep with you."

"Meow?" Although Chris was a little doubtful, she continued to close her eyes and fell asleep.

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 the book.

According to the book, this Occlumency is divided into two steps. The first step is to completely close one's brain, so as to completely clear the emotions and thoughts in one's head.

It is not difficult for ordinary people to achieve no thoughts and no thoughts, so Lu Yunkai did it very quickly.

Then I quickly entered the second step of practice: after closing the real emotions and memories in my brain, put another part I want to show.

very difficult.

It's not just a lie: it's about believing in the lie from the bottom of your heart, and you can't even let people find out that you forced yourself to believe the lie...

This is simply infinite nesting dolls!
Therefore, Lu Yunkai decided to reduce the difficulty a little first.

Appropriately release a little scattered and chaotic "memory", and then practice slowly to "deeply process" this part of 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 when he was young started to learn magic. He should feel that he lacks love to some extent, right?Will become paranoid?Will there be "blind worship" of power?

Anyway, it is an existence that is completely opposite to itself.

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

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

Perhaps because of practicing Occlumency, Lu Yunkai has become more sensitive to his own consciousness and feelings. The moment he met Professor Quirrell just now, he felt keenly that Quirrell seemed to want to probe his body. idea.

Instinctively, Lu Yunkai knew that it must be Legilimency.

But he still tried his best to suppress that instinctive guess: This is the same logic as that nesting doll.

He didn't know if Quirrell believed him. He realized that Quirrell wanted to know what he was thinking, because he didn't dare to think.

Quirrell left, and left a sentence of willingness to teach Lu Yun to open the Occlumency.

But Lu Yunkai didn't even have time to rejoice, and immediately thought of a more terrifying question: Has Quirrell used Legilimency on himself before?If so, did he know of the existence of that system?
That's why he asked himself if there was a Philosopher's Stone here?Do you just want to confirm that you can indeed 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 Lu Yunkai's real thoughts?
What will he think?
The more he thought about this matter, the more Lu Yunkai couldn't stop his body from shaking.

"Chris..."

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

"That... you can help me secretly keep an eye on Quirrell when you have time!"

"Meow?"

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

"Okay, meow!" Chrissy responded very simply, "But he probably doesn't have time to trouble you recently."

"Because Snape was bothering him?"

"Meow, more than that. The things in the Forbidden Forest also want to clean him up."

"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, I listen."

"Let's go back to the dormitory at night! There are so many people here." Chris continued to bury her head and fell asleep.

Lu Yunkai nodded and took a deep breath.

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

This Occlumency was really, really, really useful, and he had to learn it as soon as possible.

Because he really has too many secrets!
