Chapter 218 Dementor Research (Please collect, subscribe, and recommend)
When Ryan returned to the dormitory, everyone was asleep except Scabbers, who was pretending to be asleep. However, Ryan thought it didn't matter if Scabbers knew about his night out. After all, as a Gryffindor student, it was nothing strange to be out at night.

But because Banban was there, Ryan didn't dare to go to the Wanjie Grocery Store at this time. It was not until the next afternoon after class that he took the opportunity to hide in a bathroom and enter the Wanjie Grocery Store.

As soon as he entered the grocery store, Ryan saw that the Dementors that were tied up into a ball had much lighter black smoke on their bodies than when they were thrown in yesterday, and they also looked weak, not as lively as when they were caught yesterday.

I have to say that this net made of cotton thread that has been soaked in talisman water and rooster blood and enchanted in advance can really restrain dark creatures. I think if left alone, the Dementors may disappear completely in a few days.

Thinking of this, Ryan quickly assembled the portable altar, and then used the cotton thread to hang talismans around the altar. He shook a Dementor from the net into the altar.

After the Dementors entered the altar, a milky white protective layer quickly rose around the altar, and then some runes fixed the Dementors in mid-air, motionless.

Everything was ready. Ryan first used life magic to try to detect the condition of the Dementor, but the runes that flew out disappeared after hitting its cloak and a puff of gray smoke emerged. It was obvious that the cloak hindered Ryan's magic.

Its cloak actually has anti-magic detection capabilities. Seeing this, Ryan took out the obsidian ceremonial sword that could work on spirits that he had obtained from the pyramid temple from the counter next to him.

According to a fan fiction I read in my previous life, the Dementor's cloak might be a very precious magical raw material. Judging from the current observations, this is very likely.

So after Ryan waved his wand to summon his own patronus and used his mental skills to protect his soul, the first thing he did was to cut off a piece of the Dementor's cloak with an obsidian knife.

Unfortunately, the cloak turned into black smoke not far from the Dementors. At the same time, another section of the cloak grew on the Dementors' body to fill in the lost part.

This should be the same as the clothes Mystique wore when she transformed, they are all part of their bodies. Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly realized that this means that when Mystique transforms during a mission, she is -

Okay, stop, now the focus is on the Dementors. Since the cloak and the Dementors are one, it means that the Dementors are energy creatures, and the energy of most energy creatures can be exhausted. Thinking of this, Ryan commanded the hairy crab patronus to keep cutting off the Dementors' cloaks and erasing them with the energy on his body.

As the Patronus continued to erase the Dementor's robe, the Dementor became weaker and weaker. Finally, it could no longer condense the robe, revealing its gray and rotting body.

"This looks terrible." Ryan complained, waving his obsidian knife to try to get some samples from the Dementor.

The blade can feel obvious resistance when cutting into the Dementor's body, which means that the Dementor is not a spiritual creature, but has its own body. The process of cutting the sample is smooth, but unfortunately, like the cloak, all the cut samples quickly turned into black smoke. Afterwards, you can see that the Dementor's body slowly grows back the cut parts.

However, perhaps because of the excessive consumption before, Ryan felt that the Dementor became more illusory as a whole after growing out the cut part. This was also proved by the obsidian knife cutting. If it felt like cutting barbecue before, now it felt like cutting a pile of cotton wool.

"Now we can only study the whole." Ryan, who failed to slice it, sighed and began to chant life magic. Soon, the runes flowed towards the Dementor again. Without the cloak's obstruction, the runes successfully sank into the Dementor's body and began to transmit various data to Ryan.

"Not alive, but not dead either. This is a really strange creature." Ryan frowned as he received the data from the Dementor. But apart from this conclusion, there seemed to be a strange mist on the Dementor that prevented Ryan from obtaining further information. "I can only try this trick." Ryan thought and took out a mud ball from the space bag on his waist. This was made from the dust on the tombstone in Uncle Jiu's world, and was generally used to communicate yin and yang. After discovering that the Dementor was between yin and yang, he came up with a new method.

Ryan used the magic water to dissolve the mud pill, then took out a brush and dipped it in the mud water to draw a spell on the Dementor. For safety reasons, Ryan first drew several runes on his right arm with the magic ink he mixed himself.

As expected, as soon as his hand penetrated the barrier, the Dementor suddenly attacked. A strong suction force came out of its mouth, as if it wanted to pull Ryan's soul out through his arm.

At this moment, the rune on the right arm suddenly emitted a golden light and nailed the Dementor in place.

"Okay, let me see what secrets you are hiding." Ryan muttered as he began to draw runes on the Dementor.

After drawing a dozen runes, Ryan heard a sound similar to breaking glass coming from the Dementor's body, and then a large amount of disorganized information with black smoke was transmitted into Ryan's sea of ​​consciousness through the previous runes.

"Soul attack, is this a desperate move?" Ryan calmly transformed his merit power into a barrier to block the black fog, while filtering out the information mixed in it.

With the last wave of attacks, the Dementor's body was completely exhausted and turned into black smoke. Ryan ignored the situation on the altar and closed his eyes to sort out the harvest.

More than half an hour later, Ryan opened his eyes and finally figured out what the Dementors were.

This kind of monster is actually composed of soul energy and various negative emotions scattered between heaven and earth. Dementors rely on negative emotions to glue soul energies from different sources together to form a monster between life and death.

The reason why Dementors absorb positive emotions from humans is because pure negative emotions can only make them live by instinct like a wild animal. Only after absorbing enough positive emotions as a balance can the consciousness evolution of Dementors be greatly promoted.

In addition to positive emotions, Dementors also need the souls of intelligent creatures to strengthen their souls and make them evolve. However, simply absorbing the free soul energy in nature is too slow and takes a lot of time to evolve. This is why Dementors are eager to put down their hoods and suck in complete souls directly.

Only after these two points of evolution are met can Dementors truly complete their evolution into intelligent life.

Dementors that become intelligent beings will automatically become the leaders of the group. According to the information read from this Dementor, there are more than a dozen leaders in Azkaban, and there are two leaders among the Dementors that came to Hogwarts this time.

"I've broadened my horizons today. I got to know a life form that I've never seen before." Ryan thought as he sat in a chair behind the counter.
