Chapter 376 The Brain Captured, the Fear of Facing Time

Andy found this interesting.

This method of attack was well worth learning.

In a fierce battle, if you can suddenly attack the opponent's mind... This invisible attack method is enough to make the opponent make huge mistakes in battle.

What made Andy feel even more interesting was that his Legilimency could not peek into the memories of these brains.

Was it because his level of Legilimency was not high enough?

Or did these brains have defensive magic similar to 'Occlumency'?

'It makes sense. If the Department of Mysteries dares to put these brains here, they must have long since prepared their defences.'

'If every person could freely probe the memories of these brains, the secrets of the Department of Mysteries would have been revealed long ago.'

Since the Legilimency spell was useless, Andy decided to try the brains' method of attack – infusing his own thoughts and memories with magic and then using the magic to attack the brains.

Then…Andy realised that he simply couldn't do it!

It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that he had to use a wand to do it.

But if he used his wand, there would be no point in studying the way these brains are attacking.

'How are they doing it?' Andy was a little shocked. These brains don't have wands.

Andy looked closer at the glass tank again and noticed that these brains were translucent. They were obviously modified brains.

'Interesting!'

Andy raised an eyebrow, took his wand and tapped the crystal vial lightly, casting an undetectable extension charm on it to enlarge the interior space of the crystal vial.

He then used an Engorgement Charm to enlarge the crystal vial, and finally used a levitation charm to control the crystal vial and fill it with some dark green liquid and a brain.

Brain captured successfully!

After shrinking the crystal vial, Andy took out a rag to wipe it clean, and finally put the lid back on – ten centimetres high, the crystal vial contained some dark green liquid, in which a translucent brain floated.

Just this one gain made Andy feel that the trip was well worth it.

If he could crack the secret of these brains, Andy felt that his research into souls, minds and memories would reach a new level.

Plus there's this dark green liquid.

This liquid can keep the brains active, and to some extent, it even ensures that these brains can live forever.

"Hoo..."

Andy let out a breath, calming his excitement a little.

It's time to leave!

Although Andy really wanted to explore the secrets here further, tonight's time was limited, and Andy had to go to more rooms to find more secrets.

Especially the Death Chamber!

Andy has the Resurrection Stone, the legendary Deathly Hallow related to death, which fits perfectly with the Death Chamber.

Andy has a feeling that if he goes to the Death Chamber with the Resurrection Stone, he may gain even more.

This is the confidence that Andy has gained from his two points of talent in Divination, and Andy believes that this hunch is correct.

From the last point added to today, Andy has already gained four Potential Points. This is the result of more than a month of hard work after the summer holiday.

After thinking about it, Andy used three [Potential Points] to increase the [Divination] talent to level 3.

[Divination: 3]

'Almost enough!' Andy thought to himself.

After increasing the [Divination] talent to level 3, Andy did not plan to continue increasing this talent for the time being. Level 3 [Divination] was already enough for Andy to learn divination.

In particular, the third-year divination class only teaches the most basic divination knowledge, and Andy does not need a high talent.

Not only that, Andy can even use the [Potential Points] gained from learning divination to improve other talent attributes.

Before the magic transfiguration, Andy will increase the [Transfiguration] talent and [Will] talent to seven points to ensure that nothing unexpected will happen when he undergoes the magic transfiguration.

'Next year...'

If nothing unexpected happens, Andy will conduct the magic transfiguration experiment next year.

Before that happens, Andy will get everything ready!

The third-level talent in Divination further enhances Andy's ability to sense crises, especially those that are about to happen to him—Andy senses them in advance when these brains attacked him.

This ability to sense crises will increase Andy's chances of survival.

Especially when choosing a Black Door, Andy will make a more favourable choice.

After one last look at the glass tank, Andy turned and left.

Pushing open another black door, Andy found himself in a room full of all kinds of magnificent clocks, big and small, hung in every corner of the room.

Standing in the room, Andy heard a sound that seemed to go on forever: the ticking of clocks.

At the far end of the room stood a bell-shaped crystal glass dome about the same height as Andy. The crystal dome stood on a table and was filled with a surging, sparkling current of air.

Inside the bell, there is a small, brightly coloured object that seems to be made of precious stones, floating up and down.

This object is a tiny hummingbird, but it is not always a bird – it is also an egg.

When the egg rises in the bell, it cracks open with a pop and a hummingbird flies out. The hummingbird rises to the top of the bell and then returns to the egg.

In the process, the hummingbird gets dirty and wet.

'Time Room? ' Andy was a little surprised and didn't quite understand why he had come to this room.

To be honest, Andy had chosen the black door based on a sixth sense.

This perception was not very clear, but when Andy stood in that round room, the door he wanted to open the most was this one.

Andy looked around.

In addition to various clocks and crystal covers, there was also a closet. On the wall where the closet was located, various hourglasses were hanging.

'A room for studying time?' Andy frowned slightly.

In fact, Andy had never come into contact with the magic of the time domain, and Andy did not think that he was qualified to touch the taboo of time.

Of all the known magic domains, the two that Andy felt the most taboo about were the domains of fate and time.

Those who play with fate will also be played by fate.

Those who play with time will also be played by time.

Andy had long ago warned himself that even if he mastered certain time-related magic in the future, he must never, ever use it lightly, and he must never try to use time magic to change the past.

This is an absolute taboo!

'Here...' Andy became a little wary.

For some reason, just being in this room made Andy feel a deep sense of fear.

This fear came inexplicably, and Andy didn't even know where it came from.

But Andy just felt fear.

This is not just fear, but the fear that comes from feeling small and powerless in the face of some mysterious and vast force of nature.
