Chapter 2688 Black and White
【Harry Potter and the Book of Sin】 【】
The battle at the school was still fierce. Even though they had reached such a deep cave, the bursts of roars and vibrations from the ground were still faintly detectable.
Although it is unavoidable to be worried about Willie who is alone there to resist the group of enemies, but when thinking that the real powerful enemy may be quietly waiting for each other in front, naturally there is not much room for distraction.
The glowing spell of the wand could not illuminate the entire cave, and the surrounding darkness still silently enveloped everyone, making it impossible to completely eliminate the feeling of depression. As it continued to deepen, the footsteps also unconsciously became heavier and heavier.
Except Maca.
"As I said before, there will be no more trouble, so you can relax too... Oh, look! The remains of the dragon can already be seen. It's big, isn't it? So big that they'd Like living in a cave' is something that people can't help but be confused about."
Perhaps this is also to relieve everyone's depression. In short, Maca seems to be willing to take a few more gossips in this spare time.
It's a pity that the topics of chatting may be endless, but the journey under the feet will eventually have an end.
Maca was right. The skeleton of this ancient dragon was really huge. Before everyone could follow it all the way to the end, Maca, who was walking at the front with a cane, had already stopped.
"Oh, here we are..."
As he said this, he suddenly pushed the wooden stick that was temporarily used as a crutch into the ground with a sudden force, then leaned on the stick and let go of his right hand, pointing forward slightly.
"Did you mention it in the auditorium just now? It's the cave in the crypt that I told you to pay attention to—and that's where it connects."
If Maca didn't say it, the others really wouldn't have noticed that the darkness ahead was no longer pure darkness.
If you look carefully, except that there is still a layer of slightly tumbling black mist around your feet, there seems to be a surging black mist in the shadows that are not illuminated by the light in front. For some unknown reason, the fog was moving in a spiral shape, thinner at the bottom and thicker at the top, like a tornado, expanding upwards until it disappeared into the darkness beyond the sight of the upper part.
And if you want to talk about where the bottom of the pitch-black tornado is connected...
Hermione wanted to see more clearly, so she subconsciously threw the light ball at the tip of the staff forward, but she couldn't help but hesitate before actually doing it.
However, after thinking about Maca's previous statement that there was no danger in this trip, she still threw the ball of light out.
Sure enough, Maca, who was leaning on a cane in front of him, didn't say anything when he saw the light cluster of the Luminous Charm flying over his head.
"Ah! That's—"
Not only Hermione, but Harry, Safina and Luna also saw it. It was a quaint mirror standing alone on the ground. The size is a little taller than that of an adult, the old frame that looks like stone but not stone, and the mirror that looks hazy as if it has been dusted for a long time... At a glance, it is actually very inconspicuous.
If it had been placed in some cluttered utility room instead of a bare, almost empty cavern like this, no one would have been interested in it.

However, at this very moment, there is just such a dusty ancient mirror, and from its mirror surface... To be precise, it is a certain position in the lower half of the mirror surface, releasing a monstrous and strange black mist, which is dazzling. Just looking at it makes my back feel cold.
"Maka, is that... the 'Mirror of Devouring'?" Although Hermione's words were doubtful, her tone was almost certain.
In front of Hogwarts Castle,
Maca tried to destroy it with the help of the meteorite, because it seemed to be Haierbo's only Horcrux. It's a pity that the whole plan failed at the last moment due to Haierbo's interference, and even destroyed most of Hogwarts at one point.
Today, the mirror is still there, and it is still intact. However, it seems that it is no longer Hai Erbo's horcrux - what happened in the auditorium before is enough for Hermione and others to understand, since Hai Erbo's voice took over Maca, from the puppet with the transfiguration technique The moment the sound came from his mouth, his remnant soul was pulled out of the mirror by Maca with the resurrection stone.
"So, what is connected to the mirror is the 'world of the dead'?"
Hermione's mind was still spinning fast. In the auditorium earlier, whether it was Maca or the witch Kern, they only mentioned the vague pronoun "over there". From the looks of it now, it probably refers to the space in the mirror.
"Ah... so to speak... it's not impossible." Maca looked at the misty mirror and thought for a while, "To be honest, it's really difficult to describe accurately, because the 'world' 'over' the mirror , It’s a bit abstract in terms of concept... There is a word in Muggle religious legends called ‘Limbo’, which means ‘the edge of hell’—let’s not discuss whether hell exists or not! Anyway, use this word to describe It refers to 'over there', I think it's not bad! Because after crossing the mirror, it is not the domain of the living, but the soul... It is a new journey in which the spirit and will of the dead merge with each other, and the separation of desires is gradually unified. Well, actually I don’t understand it very well, but if I have to say it, it’s probably the true meaning of ‘death’!”
Having said that, Maca finally turned her head back, beckoned to Hermione and the others behind her and said:
"I won't say much about the things I don't understand myself, let you 'take a look' for yourself! The next few steps are the last way we will go... Remember, no matter what you see Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you... just like what Hermione said just now, because you are the 'living', and the living cannot go to the 'world of the dead'."
...
Black and white, the instant replacement of two diametrically opposed colors in the field of vision, usually brings a very abrupt feeling to people.
But at this moment, there was obviously no transition at all, but Hermione and the others felt as if they came here naturally.
In retrospect, it even gives people the illusion that they have been walking here from the beginning. As for the previous battle in the dark cave and even the Hogwarts auditorium, it was just a dream.
This is a pure white world, the kind of white that is not dazzling. Soft white light enveloped from all directions, there is a unique sense of nothingness, but not annoying.

If you calm down and feel it, I don't know if it's an illusion, but it seems that you can still feel the white light with a little warmth. The calmer the mind, the more comfortable it feels, making people want to just lie down and have a good sleep.
"'Lingbo Prison'...'The Edge of Hell'...Maka seems to say so? But this place doesn't seem to be such a scary place at all?"
Just as Harry was thinking this way, the white around him took on a new change.
