Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 274 Are you saying that I left my soul behind?

The white mist gradually shrank and turned into a garden full of birdsong and flowers.

Li Weide blinked and looked at the familiar scene around him.

"Huh? When did I fall asleep?" Li Weide scratched his head and muttered.

"Are you looking for me?" A pleasant voice came from the front.

In the pavilion in the center of the garden.

The senior student was still wearing the green robe.

She was sitting in an armchair with her back to Li Weide, drinking tea.

"Yes... I have made some discoveries, and I think you might be interested." Li Weide walked over with ease.

He came to the front of the senior sister, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"It seems that it must be a very important matter." The senior student poured tea for Li Weide slowly.

As Li Weide grew up, the senior student began to immerse herself in the research of how to purify the "residues".

Because he didn't want to disturb his senior sister's plans, Li Weide rarely came to see her again.

This time, Li Weide took the initiative to request a meeting with the senior student, so of course the matter was no small matter.

"Something happened to us today, and this thing reminded me of you," said Li Weide.

The senior student picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything.

Clearly, she was listening.

So, Li Weide began to tell everything that happened in the Forbidden Forest today.

Dark creatures cause chaos, ancient magic, parallel worlds, people who have been switched, lost memories, and more...

After Li Weide told everything, he found that the senior sister's fair hands were tightly gripping the teacup, and even her knuckles were white.

Obviously, she also thought about her own situation.

"You mean... I'm not actually the me of this world, but the me of another world?" the senior asked hesitantly.

Li Weide pondered and said, "I thought so at first, but then I thought about it carefully... Your situation might be a little special."

"A special situation? However, according to your previous theory of parallel worlds, the place where my body is should not open the passage to the parallel world. Because there are not so many kinds of dark creatures in my body..." The senior student raised the question again.

Li Weide sighed and said, "Senior, don't forget, the reason why so many different kinds of dark creatures are needed is because the black magic energy they emit can produce a huge amount of ancient magic when it collides with each other, and thus, for some reason, opens up channels between parallel worlds... And you... Where else in this world has as much ancient magic as you do?"

The senior student frowned and said, "But according to what you're saying, wouldn't parallel worlds be overlapping around my body every moment?"

"Senior... you have a shielding cloak on..." Li Weide continued, "Before you were sealed in that place, your magic power was not that strong, and it was still hidden on your body, able to be controlled and restrained at any time. Therefore, it would not cause the emergence of a parallel world."

"And after you were sealed, the magic power and residue in your body happened to be sealed by the shielding cloak. Therefore, it still did not cause the emergence of a parallel world! Therefore, something must have happened to cause the ancient magic in your body to riot!"

Li Weide continued, "...I want to ask...what was your state like when you felt your consciousness was attacked and lost your name and memory? Did anything special happen?"

The senior schoolmate raised her eyes to look at Li Weide, and after a while, she nodded and said, "Yes..."

Li Weide suddenly became excited, "So, what happened?"

The senior student said slowly, "Actually, I haven't mentioned this to you before... I endured for many years, and finally on that day, nightmare magic reached a new level."

A hint of joy flashed in the senior's eyes. "Back then, my consciousness and my body had been imprisoned in one place, motionless for nearly twenty years! You have no idea how much I wanted to be free... No! Freedom is too much of a luxury! I just... wanted to move... even if it was just a few fingers?"

"So, when I found out my nightmare magic was powerful enough to allow my soul to leave my body... you know how happy I was? I was so happy I almost went crazy!"

"Although my soul can't leave my body too far, that is also the most precious freedom! My soul can move around! This is much better than when I started, when even moving a finger was a luxury!"

"That day, my soul stood not far from my body, frantically spreading its consciousness in all directions! Furiously experiencing the hard-earned freedom..."

"I've never tried to probe my consciousness so far before, and the touch it brought back was so clear... I still can't forget the joy I felt at that moment..."

When the senior sister said this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face...

Then, the senior sister's smile disappeared and a frost appeared on her face.

"Then...that happened. A part of my consciousness was attacked. Then...I lost my name...until today." Li Weide sighed. "When you were frantically using Nightmare Magic, letting your consciousness wander wildly, did the magic power in your body experience a brief surge?"

The senior was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "Yes... but at that time, I had already given up a lot of cares and just wanted to enjoy my freedom. Hmm... I think the shielding cloak I was wearing might have started to crack after that magical riot..."

"That makes sense..." Li Weide nodded.

"So, you already know exactly why my name disappeared?" the senior student asked excitedly.

"I still need to verify it...but...I need your permission." Li Weide frowned.

"what way?"

"Can I take a look at your body?" Li Weide suddenly asked.

The senior student frowned at him.

After a while, she stood up and waved her sleeves, and the surrounding environment changed instantly!

The garden disappeared, replaced by a small stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is a crystal coffin emitting a faint white light.

In the crystal coffin, the senior sister was wrapped in a black cloak, her face was pale, and her eyes were closed.

Li Weide asked again: "Is it your conscious body or your temporarily freed soul that is talking to me now?"

"Soul." The senior said, "Ever since my soul escaped that time, I never want to return to this imprisoned body."

Li Weide looked carefully at the senior sister in the ice coffin, and then looked at the soul of the senior sister in front of him.

"Are you comparing?" asked the senior student.

"As far as I know, the form of the soul is exactly the same as that of the human body..." said Li Weide.

"Yes."

Li Weide sighed, "It can be confirmed."

"Confirm what?" the senior student asked nervously.

"There is a small black mole on the left side of your neck on your body, but there is no such mole on your soul. Also, you in the crystal coffin have pierced earlobes... but there is no such mole on your soul... Also, the body in the crystal coffin has a mark on the bridge of its nose, which is the mark left by wearing glasses for a long time... Did you wear glasses before?" Li Weide said in a deep voice.

The senior student's face suddenly changed. She rushed to the crystal coffin and carefully observed her body in the coffin. After a while, her lips began to tremble.

"So... what's in the crystal coffin isn't my body?! How is that possible? This is clearly my body... My soul originally came out from here!"

Li Weide sighed and said, "According to the conclusions we reached previously, when parallel worlds intersect, the same person standing in the same position may be transferred to a parallel world..."

"It's obvious that when you were unleashing your nightmare magic, the magical turmoil that occurred opened a passage to a parallel world... So, at that time, it wasn't your consciousness that was devoured... but rather, your actual body disappeared from this world! In its place, your physical body from a certain parallel world..."

"As the magical turmoil gradually subsided, the passage to the parallel world was closed. Your real body and your soul were separated, completely disappearing from this world... Originally, with the disappearance of your body, everything related to it would be erased from this world! Not just your name. In other words, you never existed in this world!"

"But your physical body disappeared, but it didn't completely vanish..." Li Weide looked at the senior student in the crystal coffin. "You from the parallel world have returned. Therefore, you inherited all the memories of your physical body from that parallel world. However, the parallel world you is not the you of this world after all... Your true name was lost in that other parallel world along with your real body!"

"As for this new you... because her soul is also in another parallel world, it is also incomplete. Therefore, her name was also erased from her physical body's mind by some otherworldly power..."

"Biologically speaking, human memory resides in the brain. So, even if you use nightmare magic to maintain your soul's out-of-body state, you're still using the magic power of your physical body. As for your soul's memories, they are still a reflection and copy of your physical body's memories. This is true for souls and ghosts, you know... A ghost without a physical body can't learn new things..."

"You felt like your consciousness was attacked, and you lost your memory of a certain period of time, including your name. It was actually just an illusion. Your physical body was disconnected for a moment, and then automatically connected to a new one..."

"In other words, what you lost were the memories of your original body! As for what you still remember... they are actually the memories originally stored in the brain of this new body."

"That parallel world and our world should be very similar, so the experiences of the senior sister in that world should be very similar to yours. Therefore, you didn't notice..."

The senior student looked at Li Weide with a dull look in her eyes. "In other words, my body ran away, and then left my soul behind..."

"Yes……"

Li Weide said so much, but it is very simple to summarize.

That means the senior sister's body traveled through time, but her soul remained... The entire hardware was replaced, even the memory card was new...
