Allen's first thought was naturally the Room of Absolute Gratification! And Allen was already very good at doing what he wanted to do in the Room of Absolute Gratification.
With the thought of "I need a comfortable and quiet place to read", Allen walked three times in front of the tapestry of Panama on the eighth floor of the castle. Then, a door suddenly appeared in front of Allen.
Walking in, the Room of Absolute Gratification turned into a forest study room. This was a breathing reading space: Green plants covered the entire space, and different trees, flowers, and landscapes could be seen. Allen suspected that the designer had moved a corner of the forbidden forest into the Room of Absolute Gratification!
A bookshelf in the shape of a giant green tree was filled with books. Allen casually pulled out a book, and the title on the cover was "Merlin Loves Me"!
Allen casually flipped through it, and stuffed the book back on the shelf, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Which bored wizard wrote this fantasy romance novel? It was very trendy!
Unwilling to give up, Allen walked to another branch in the opposite direction and pulled out a book – "Cold Steel".
Casually turning to a page, rows of poems entered Allen's eyes:
Heaven is always imprisoned in our suffering,
Hell is lost in our paradise.
… …
The three demons should not have died like that,
You have seen my label,
My friend,
We will meet again!
It was a book of poems! Allen shook his head, stuffed the book back on the shelf, and gave up the idea of looking for treasures here. It was better to finish reading "Secrets of the Soul" first!
Holding the book, Allen's gaze moved away from the shelf, looking for a suitable place to read. He saw a round rattan cushion scattered on the dense and soft grass, and on the right side of the wall, there was a white rattan swing!
If these were not satisfactory, there was an extremely comfortable leather armchair and a large reading table on the wooden floor on the left side of the room, which was covered with grass. Above them, a round crystal lamp sprinkled a moderate soft light.
Next to the table, there was an old-fashioned bronze trumpet-shaped phonograph, and some records were neatly stacked to the side. All of these created a quiet and comfortable reading environment for Allen.
"The only flaw is that there is no coffee, otherwise it would be more romantic!" Allen rolled his eyes and brought out a pot of Ceylon black tea from his Ravenclaw Tower.
Then, Allen sat comfortably on the leather armchair and spread "Secrets of the Soul" on the reading table.
In an instant, a mournful and hair-raising scream pierced the peaceful silence — the book was screaming!
Allen slammed it closed, but the scream did not stop. It was a high-pitched, continuous, and deafening.
"Silence!" Allen took out his magic wand and cast the spell was astonishingly fast. The Book seemed to be choked by someone's throat, and the mournful scream of screeching. But his arm hit the teacup on the table, and the tea splashed everywhere, wetting Allen's cuff.
With a thought from Allen, Miaomiao's wizard robe automatically cleaned and dried. Taking a sip of tea to calm himself down, Allen felt that he should have thought of this. Since this book was placed in the forbidden area, there must be a reason for it to be banned! For example, the absolutely forbidden black magic, or the method to make soul tools!
After mentally preparing himself, Allen gently flipped open the book. With the blessing of the powerful Silence spell, Allen's ears were no longer abused.
Allen focused his mind and calmly looked at the words and pictures in the book. Among them, Allen found the method to create a soul tool. After reading carefully, Allen was disappointed to find that in the book, there was no introduction beyond what Allen already knew.
After briefly flipping through the book, Allen found that in addition to this, the book also introduced knowledge such as "Second Soul", "Soul Redemption", "Where Life Comes From, Where Death Goes" and so on. Interestingly, a lot of the knowledge was similar to the idealistic philosophy of the Muggle world.
In addition, this book was also very literary. After introducing the black magic of the soul, the author even had the mood to write a few comments.
For example, in the chapter "Making Soul Tools", the author wrote:
Alcohol is the best at confusing people,
Death is the most dramatic.
Immortals step on the edge of death,
Withering lives cry.
Hatred forsakes God's justice,
But the darkness forgets everything.
…
It wasn't until his stomach made a rumbling sound that Alan realized that he was addicted to the book and missed dinner! It was probably already past midnight. He had to go back and rest.
This book must have a hypnotic effect on the soul, causing people to be unknowingly engrossed in it! Allen was secretly shocked and raised his guard against this book.
Allen took out some snacks sent by Mrs. Harris from the system storage and filled his stomach with black tea. Then, he threw the book "Secrets of the Soul" into the storage space and hurried back to the dormitory.
"Awakened Master" Edward lived up to his name and had already entered a state of deep sleep. After washing up, Allen sank into the soft bed, threw away all his thoughts, and fell asleep.
However, Alan did not sleep well that night. Muggles that had been tortured to the point of being bruised all over; magical creatures that were crying bitterly and living a life worse than death; strange soul fragments; shrill and sharp cries … These sounds turned into terrifying dreams that mercilessly devoured Alan.
Even with Allen's mental strength, he could not escape from the dream even though he knew it was a dream. At this moment, a sentence from the book appeared in Allen's mind. "If you can't look up at the starry sky and embrace the light, then please fall into the boundless darkness with me!"
Suddenly, a clear stream flowed from his mind to his heart. All the shackles collapsed in an instant, turning into snowflake-like fragments that scattered and disappeared without a trace in the dream.
"Warning! Warning! The host's mental strength is abnormal. An unknown body of consciousness has invaded! " The gentle and sweet voice of the school belle turned into the sharp mechanical voice of the system. However, Allen did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, he was filled with gratitude. It was the system that pulled him out of the boundless nightmare. Otherwise, he did not know how long he would have to sink into those terrifying scenes and the tragic experiences of different creatures! This was equivalent to saving his life!
However, the system said that an unknown body of consciousness had invaded. What did this mean? Would anyone who read this book be invaded by a body of consciousness, or would they have to satisfy the conditions of being invaded by the body of consciousness?
