Chapter 1889: Chapter 1038: Train Paranormal_4
“But considering his twisted nature, if he assimilates into the eerie atmosphere and develops a sense of belonging towards it, treating himself as one of its kind, then attacking wizards would not be impossible. However, this ghostly presence has yet to reveal any issues other than isolating the external world for now…”
From Voldemort’s choice this time, it should be possible to judge what his current state of mind is.
Outside the train window, it had completely turned dark, pitch-black, and shadows seemed to wriggle faintly in the darkness.
The train itself seemed to possess some protective magic, as the darkness seeped into the carriage slowly and was resisted by the illumination from the tip of the magic wand.
Yet even so, from the gaps at the window, darkness appeared to be slowly flowing in like liquid, crawling in like pitch.
The train’s interior walls and ceiling began to show signs of mottled erosion, and the surrounding temperature fell, with breaths exhaling white mist, a sense of fear began surfacing in the heart.
An eerie atmosphere began to permeate, whispers hovered on the ears, it felt as if one were in a dream, with a heavy head.
“Was it still infiltrated by Dementors? Or is it inherently this eerie trait, absorbing the fear of the entire train of young wizards to replenish itself?”
A phantom of a brass book seemed to flash in Tao Yu’s eyes, this ghostly presence was very silent, but the basic rule seemed to be to invoke inner fear, the greater the fear, the stronger the ghostly presence. Once reaching an extreme, it can devour the entire soul with fear, turning the flesh into a ghost servant in the ghostly presence!
One could say the resistance method is simple, just eliminating fear and negative emotions, but there is still this invasive feeling similar to Dementors.
The most vulnerable, Harry, was already starting to look pale.
If it weren’t for the potion given by Tao Yu earlier that was still in effect, he might have already passed out.
“The Patronus Charm can break it, but my Guardian God…”
At this moment, a slight embarrassment appeared on Tao Yu’s face, but controlling and simply emitting dispersing light should protect for a while, at least safeguard this small compartment without much issue.
Meanwhile, Tao Yu turned to Quirinus Quirrell beside him and said,
“Professor, this kind of darkness seems to evoke fear in our hearts, according to what I read in books, it seems a bit similar to the traits of Dementors.”
“Oh, oh, you’re right, little wizard, you are very good.”
Quirinus Quirrell turned to glance at Tao Yu, though stuttering, he truly and sincerely gave praise.
While so many students didn’t notice, this first-year little wizard who just started school saw it clearly.
“So I think maybe the Patronus Charm against Dementors can be used to resist it.”
“I, I am very sorry, I am not good at the Patronus Charm, if there are any classmates who can, please try.”
Quirinus Quirrell stuttered and said, completely unable to bring any sense of security to everyone.
And there were quite a few senior students here too.
Although the Patronus Charm is relatively obscure and difficult to learn spell, there were finally several sixth and seventh-year students beginning to try.
“Expecto Patronum!”
“Expecto Patronum!”
Voices rose and fell one after another, but most students could only summon a hazy white glow.
Only a very few could condense into the physical form of animals.
This indeed reflected the varying abilities of Hogwarts students.
Once the glow of the Patronus Charm appeared, it indeed dispelled much of the chill within the carriage, and the feeling of stirring fear in the heart was also dissipating.
After everyone had finished, Tao Yu also pulled out his magic wand with a casual flick,
“Expecto Patronum…”
The brilliant light illuminated the entire carriage.
All the darkness in this carriage was swept away, even encroaching towards the ghostly presence outside the carriage.
However, the tip of Tao Yu’s magic wand did not emit any animal but purely a gentle white light, making those illuminated feel warm at heart.
Only occasionally, it seemed as if there were tiny tendrils waving at the tip of the magic wand.
But because the light was too dazzling, no one could see clearly…
