HP's Platinum Temptation

Chapter 91 Speculation

"Cough, cough, cough..." When Lucius' feet landed on the ground, he was choked by a burst of cold air that was originally lingering with the smell of fireworks, and he coughed violently.

Because before going to the cave, Lucius had granted Lambert's elf the right to apparate directly into his manor, so he landed in his garden.

In a seaside cave full of water vapor, a simple raging fire still caused a violent burning that spread instantly.This can only show that the high-concentration fuel oil prepared by Winter is really very effective.

But in Winter's scheduled plan, one factor was missing.Because of the long-term closure of the caves by the sea, although three or five living visitors would not suffocate due to lack of oxygen, it is still an environment relatively lacking in oxygen.The consequence of the sudden violent combustion is that the oxygen in the air is instantly evacuated, and the air tumbles violently.The main contents of the three explosives were thus brought into contact in advance, triggering a violent explosion.

However, when Lucius arrived at his manor, Narcissa, who had already moved safely, didn't have enough energy to pay attention to her husband who was blackened and embarrassed by the smoke.

The atmosphere in the garden at this time seemed to be a state of tense preparations for war.The transparent crystal coffin was placed in the center of the garden, and heavy chains were wrapped around it.Just by visual inspection, it can be seen that the crystal coffin loaded with a lot of 'ballast' will be a very heavy weight.But this giant that should have been crushed to death on the ground is now throbbing violently.

It could be seen through the transparent coffin wall that Regulus who was trapped inside was struggling desperately.If it hadn't been for the liquid that Winter filled inside in advance to increase the resistance of Regulus' actions, the transparent crystal coffin didn't seem to be enough to take on the important task of trapping Regulus Infernal Black.

Not only was Narcissa and the house-elves around the coffin busy suppressing its 'liveliness', Lucius even saw Snape who wasn't in his home originally.

"What's the situation?" Lucius had to speak out to attract the attention of the other two living people present.

"Oh, Lucius, how did you do this?" Narcissa, who was already anxious, became a little more worried after seeing Lucius's appearance clearly.But before Lucius could answer her own question, she anxiously asked another question: "Where's Henry?"

"He was taken away by another house elf, probably back to Lambert Manor. What's wrong?" Lucius' first reaction was a little annoyed, but realizing that Narcissa's tone was somewhat anxious, he reacted There must be a reason for the other party's problem.

"Why isn't he with you? I think we might need his help. Regulus has been struggling violently and we can't calm him down. Severus was called by me to help. But if you don't know No matter what the liquid in the coffin is, Severus can't just add other potion ingredients." Narcissa explained the current situation very quickly: "And if there is one more person to help fix Regulus, We also have more choices. Henry seems to know more about Inferi than we do."

"The liquid inside is called formalin, which comes from Muggles. It is said that Muggles are specially used to soak and store corpses. As for Winter," Lucius looked at the stalemate in front of him, and thought about himself The scene before leaving the cave, the tension on his face mixed with helplessness and puzzlement: "He probably won't be able to get through in a short time."

"What's the matter, did something happen to you in the cave?" Narcissa asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

"No, it wasn't me who was injured, it was him. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered an injury, but poisoning." Lucius hesitated for a while, and after confirming that Regulus could not break out of the coffin for the time being, he continued to explain just now What happened in the cave: "He asked the house-elf to prepare a high-concentration combustion accelerant in advance, and then asked me to bring the potion material that is the main ingredient of Muggle explosives. He wanted to destroy all the corpses, Let those innocent victims get spiritual relief. But our act of taking Regulus did not arouse the reaction of other ghosts. With the water isolation, he was worried that he would not be able to achieve his goal. So he drank er The dream potion ignited the fuel after drawing all the corpses out of the water."

"Evil dream potion? He drank it? Himself? Henry himself?" Narcissa asked four consecutive questions in surprise: "Merlin!"

"Yes, himself." Lucius nodded heavily.

"But why? He didn't have any necessary reason to do this. I mean, it's the potion of bad dreams. Although it's not a fatal poison, it's..." Narcissa's expression of astonishment grew stronger.

"I don't know either." Lucius shook his head puzzled: "He drank it before I realized it. The moment the potion was finished, all the corpses climbed up, so I lit the fire. The elf sent me back, and I didn't have time to ask."

"Oh, that's true." Narcissa looked back at Regulus' situation worriedly: "But we need him now. Severus, what antidote does the Ermen Potion need? I mean... "

"It is written in the book that after taking the Potion of Misfortune, people will have a painful feeling that life is worse than death. But it is not fatal. It belongs to the poison on the list of prohibited drugs. There is no antidote. After taking the complete potion, it will make people weak for two to three times. Days." Snape quickly answered Narcissa's question, the expression on his face didn't change much compared to the Malfoys.

"Two to three days?" Narcissa covered her forehead with her hand, looking back and forth between Snape and the bouncing crystal coffin, but couldn't say any more words.

"Is there any relative medicine that can help relieve it?" Lucius asked, "It can at least reduce his recovery time."

"I've only seen the basic description of this potion in the rare potion book, and I don't know the specific formula." Snape shook his head without hesitation, expressing that he couldn't help.

"If it was the potion used by the Dark Lord, it should be you..." Lucius couldn't help asking anxiously, but his words were immediately interrupted by Snape's voice.

"I don't think you have forgotten that the Dark Lord himself is an outstanding potion maker. With his prudence, will he let me know the potion formula involving his own secrets?" Snape said impatiently: "If You have no time to think about this useless question, why don't you just think about how to deal with the Yin Corpse. Didn't you conduct any investigation beforehand?"

"We didn't envisage the problem of Regulus needing to be subdued. Who would consider how a dead man should be appeased? There is no other information except that Inferi are afraid of fire and can be burned. Lucius snorted out his nose, and he didn't know whether his anger was aimed at the still alive corpse or himself: "Very good, damn misunderstanding, hmph."

"Did Henry really drink all the potion by himself? Isn't that potion painful?" Narcissa asked.

"Yes, of course it's him, otherwise, who else can persecute him?" Lucius replied affirmatively: "What Regulus can do, he can do, so it's not unimaginable."

"Oh, Regulus." Narcissa looked at the 'man' in the coffin distressedly, her eyes choked with tears: "What are we going to do? Are we going to burn him to death? But...but how could we do that? , he...he can still move...I..."

"Not only can it move, but it's also extremely powerful, far exceeding his level in life." As a Hogwarts classmate and an old acquaintance in the "same grade" in the Death Eaters team, Snape pointed out the key point inappropriately Question: "Being an infernal corpse didn't change his body, but it can make him present like this. What is the reason? Maybe we can use our brains before your reinforcements arrive."

"It's true that Regulus has changed his body. I remember that he was a little thinner than Severus." Narcissa recalled: "His personality has always been very gentle."

"If you think about it from the perspective of 'how to make a living person into a state of infinite strength and no thinking', what is the solution?" Lucius began to think to himself: "If you reverse it, there may be an answer .”

"There is also a clue as to why the Infernal Corpse is afraid of fire." Snape said, while slowly approaching the crystal coffin, observing whether Regulus inside had changed his behavior because of his approach.

"Humans are also afraid of fire. But Yin corpses are not afraid of water." Narcissa murmured along the clues: "If people drown and die, will they look the same as Yin corpses?"

"Obviously not, so the inaccurate description that the Infernal Corpse is not afraid of water is still barely valid. Is there a change in water resistance from the inside to the outside? From a flammable point of view, it can be assumed that the Infernal Corpse is due to low water content. Soaked in water but not How much water, so it can be understood as waterproof. Waterproof, so it is not deformed like a drowned person, so it can be understood that the cause of death is not drowning." Snape stepped forward and analyzed backwards.

"Of course it's not drowning. I haven't heard that after drowning, you will become an infernal corpse." Lucius couldn't understand the significance of the result Snape deduced.

"Then what was the cause of his death?" Snape asked back: "From Mr. Winter, it can be seen that the potion of bad dreams is not fatal. But after being pulled into the bottom of the water by the necromancer, he died, and then became Become a ghost. Is there any clue in this?"

"Uh, what do you mean, is it helpful to study the cause of his death and the current situation?" Lucius asked, while reaching into his pocket: "After the nightmare potion, before entering the water, if there is anything else, it is Horcruxes and this." The fake locket was taken out of his pocket: "Winter asked me to bring it back to Kreacher."

"Merlin!" Narcissa, who hadn't joined the topic but was paying attention to Regulus, suddenly exclaimed, "He stopped, he's looking at you!"

The author has something to say: the relationship between Snape and Regulus is purely fabricated by Yuanyuan, and the original work has not been verified...

Regarding the potion, the original book didn't mention the name, so Yuanyuan made up a name, but the feeling that life would be better than death after drinking it is in the original book.

Regarding the setting of Clay drinking the potion independently, as in this chapter, Regulus can do it, and he can definitely do it.Uh... the premise is that Regulus didn't drink the potion and it wasn't Kreacher...

If Yuanyuan is wrong, please be sure to point it out!
