Chapter 40 'Soul Stitching'
After experiencing it twice before, Sherlock is already extremely familiar with reacting to the mark on his left arm.
But being familiar does not mean being used to it.
On the contrary, the sudden burning sensation in the library made him stunned.
The first two reactions were made, one was when I met Malfoy and his son at Lihen Bookstore, and the other was when I bumped into Neville at Hogwarts school.
Now he is in the forbidden book area, which is usually a place where students are forbidden to enter. There are no people around him, only countless banned books on the bookshelf.
The burning sensation on the left arm did not come to an abrupt end this time, but was unpredictable.
This strange reaction made Sherlock frown.
He took a few steps back, retreated from the forbidden book area, and returned to the regular book area where students studied, while the burning sensation on his left arm quietly disappeared.
Then, he moved forward again and walked back into the forbidden book area. The burning sensation on the mark also returned. The feeling was like the mark was prompting him in this way.
Sherlock fell into deep thought.
He covered his arms and began to walk in the first row of bookshelf in the forbidden book area. The closer he got inside, the burning sensation on the mark became stronger, until he reached the sixth-last row of bookshelf, the burning feeling reached a peak.
Keep walking backwards, and the feeling begins to weaken.
Upon realizing this situation, Sherlock felt more and more that his guess was right. The mark on his arm was trying to tell him what information, and the source of the information was on this row of bookshelf.
He stood in front of the sixth-last row of banned bookshelf, stretched out his left hand and gently swept through the first row of banned bookshelf.
The burning sensation remains.
He continued to cross the second row of banned books.
Still not changed.
And just as his fingers touched the first book in the third row of books, a slight tingling sensation like a needle suddenly stimulating his left arm!
The burning sensation then subsided, as if it had never reacted.
But Sherlock already knew the mind that it wanted to get this book.
He gently pulled out the thin magic forbidden book from the bookshelf, and then the light next to her saw the name of the book.
"Soul Stitch"
The title of the book is handwritten in black ink. Judging from the writing of letters, it was not long since it was created.
The whole book is very thin. If you look at it briefly, it is only a dozen pages of paper. It is called a book, but it is more like a note.
The texture of the book is somewhat similar to parchment paper, but the thickness is obviously thinner.
Sherlock stared at the title of the strange book for a moment, and instead of opening it immediately, he walked towards Mrs. Pins and registered for the book borrowing.
While registering, he stared at Mrs. Pins' expression obscurantly.
She didn't change much from beginning to end, as if she was just an ordinary banned book.
From the cover of the book to Mrs. Pins' reaction, the book looks ordinary.
But Sherlock, who had already walked out of the library with it, knew very well that something that could make the mark on his left arm react would definitely not be an ordinary thing.
Back at the office, he locked the door from the inside, and then sat at the desk with the book "Soul Sewing", facing it face up and laying it flat in front of himself.
In the magic world, basically adult wizards will warn their children a little.
Don’t open magic books, boxes, and bottles that don’t know the origin!
This sentence is just like parents in normal society, reminding their children to pay attention to the traffic coming and going before crossing the road.
Even Sherlock, a "rookie" who has only been in contact with the magic world for four months, has heard countless warnings from adult wizards to the little wizards.
Faced with such books of unknown origin, he naturally knew the correct way of treating them.
He pulled out his magic wand, and Sherlock first used it to gently knock on the book cover to check whether there were traces of magic inside.
Then he used a general cracking curse to target the book.
After a breeze passed, no change occurred.
In the last step, he took a step back and slightly raised his wand one meter away from his desk.
The first page of the book was opened and happened without any accident.
From afar, Sherlock saw the title page, which was blank and there was not even a trace of ink.
The wand rose again, and the blank title page was turned over. On the first page, he finally saw the content of the book.
Even though there is no accident until now, he still did not move forward, but stood one meter away and began to read the contents of the book.
【When I escaped from death and escaped from Noka Town, I realized that my state was wrong.】
[Although the long-term abuse did not drive me crazy, it still caused damage to my soul.]
[Of course, at first I just doubted it, but after a series of self-tests, I determined my current situation.]
【My soul is torn apart.】
[The impact of this tearing cannot be seen normally, but the soul is the key to magic. Because this tearing has deviated my magic level, and the power of using spells is not as powerful as before.]
[I know I have to find a way to solve this problem. My enemies will come to me again. I must ensure that my strength cannot decline.]
[The first method that appeared in my mind was potion. As the most common method of healing for wizards, perhaps among the millions of potion formulas, there is a soul healing item.]
[I wrote a letter to ask my teacher, but he told me that no magic potion can affect the soul of a wizard. The manifestation of the potion can only be reflected in the body, and magic is the reflection of the soul.]
[Okay, the teacher at least provided me with direction. Magic is the reflection of the soul, especially those ancient magic.]
[I searched through almost all ancient magic books. There are countless people targeting the soul, but no one has healed the soul.]
[Ha! The wisdom of our predecessors is just like this. Since there has been no such magic since ancient times, I will create it myself.]
[The healing of the soul is very troublesome, but it is fortunate that the soul is like the body. If it is damaged, it will repair itself, but this time is very long.]
【Especially in the tearing state, the difficulty of repair is even more difficult.】
【Just when I was in a dilemma, a Muggle surgery inspired me.】
[When the body of the Muggle produces too large wounds, they will use needle and thread suture to reconnect the wounds to accelerate the degree of healing.]
【It seems rough, but this is actually a very wonderful idea.】
