Chapter 967 I Already Have a Best Friend!
How can this be?
Ivan looked at the two figures in front of him in disbelief and was completely stunned.
They were clearly separated into two worlds, how could they suddenly appear here?
This is fake, this is fake... Ivan kept reminding himself in his heart that Occlumency was slowly running, but everything in front of him did not disappear, as if it really existed.
"Xiaoyun..." Just when Ivan hesitated, the middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes spoke first. The familiar voice and title made Ivan nostalgic.
"How are you doing? Since you left, your father and I have always missed you..." The phantom of the mother in the previous life also slowly walked forward, stretched out her hand, and gently told him her thoughts, her eyes It is full of loving kindness.
Ivan couldn't help but take a step back, avoiding the palm touching his cheek, and couldn't help but look at Orlando and the others behind them.
They seemed to have known their identities for a long time, but they didn't mind. They just smiled and looked at the scene of reunion after a long absence.
Perhaps sensing Ivan's silence, her mother pursed her lips and asked with a hint of confusion. "What's wrong? Xiaoyun? Are you not happy to see us?"
"No, I'm just... so happy." Ivan looked at the two people in front of him, opened his mouth and said hesitantly, his mind going blank.
The moment he saw the two of them, he already understood how to break the magic on the Resurrection Stone, but the uneasiness in his heart eroded his heart like a poisonous snake.
Because this is exactly what he fears the most and is least willing to face...
If his identity as a time traveler is exposed, what will his family and friends think?
Are you accepting it as happily as you did before, or are you furious and think you have deceived them?
Will Asia accept herself? Or turn against each other...
Ivan didn't know and was unwilling to face this situation. That's why he worked hard to improve his Occlumency in an attempt to bury past memories in his heart forever.
Now this scar was torn open by the Resurrection Stone, like a Mirror of Erised, forcing him to look directly at the fear deep in his heart, but giving him the most beautiful sight.
The way to crack it is to take the initiative to break this fantasy and face the cruel reality...
Ivan's hand holding the Resurrection Stone was trembling slightly. He knew that he might be like Dumbledore and would never be able to break through this layer of confusion.
forever……
…
Late at night, at Nofgood House, Ivan, who had been alone on the cliff for more than four hours, walked in tiredly from the door, constantly thinking about the scene just now in his mind.
In order to be able to truly use the Resurrection Stone, he finally exposed the false true face of the illusions, and received endless malice in return.
Except for his parents, Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, and Orlando in his previous life, all the people he knew were resurrected by resurrection stones.
Hermione's sharp words and Asia's desperate, angry, and disbelieving eyes were deeply engraved in his heart... forcing Ivan to close the Resurrection Stone and end everything early.
"Is it not going well? Ivan?" The moment Ivan stepped into the door, an ethereal voice came over.
Ivan turned his head and looked over, only to find that Luna had not fallen asleep as he expected, but was sitting on a chair by the fireplace, holding Xenophilius's notebook in her hand, probably It is specifically waiting for myself.
While a warm current surged in his heart, Ivan also explained softly. "Your previous guess was correct. The God of Death or the maker did leave similar magic on the Resurrection Stone. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to break it."
"This won't be a problem for you, you can always solve the problem." Luna added.
Ivan smiled bitterly to himself. The little witch still had so much confidence in him, but I'm afraid this time it was over. The power of the Resurrection Stone can manifest the most fearful and longing scenes in a person's heart. Even ordinary people know that it is false. can't resist.
Even Ivan regretted that he had snatched the Resurrection Stone from Grindelwald in Nico Flamel's tomb. Otherwise, it would have been Grindelwald who had to face this problem now.
Maybe the difficult Dark Lord committed suicide directly under the influence of the illusion of Dumbledore?
Then everyone will be happy...
Ivan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and then suddenly remembered Luna who had appeared in the resurrected stone tool and questioned him over and over again, and a trace of gloom flashed across his face.
"What's wrong?" The little witch was keenly aware of Ivan's emotional ups and downs and asked curiously.
Ivan hesitated for a long time and then asked carefully. "Would you mind if I hid something bad from you, Luna?"
The little witch looked at Ivan blankly, as if she didn't quite understand what he was saying...
"For example, I took away your other friends..." Ivan tried to make an analogy. "Think about it, I might be a very stingy person. I only want you to be friends with me... so I drive away everyone else who wants to get close to you!"
The little witch tried to think about that scene, and then shook her head.
"That's not important..." Luna said softly.
"Not important?" Ivan was somewhat surprised.
"It's good now...I already have a best friend!" Luna looked at Ivan and said seriously.
Ivan's tense expression gradually relaxed under the soft words of the little witch, and he suddenly realized that maybe things would not be as bad as he imagined.
However, Ivan still had no intention of revealing any news. After laughing, he called Luna to go and have a rest. Staying up late was not a good idea.
The next morning, everything returned to its original appearance. Xenophilius enthusiastically called Ivan and Luna to taste his most famous colorful ball fish soup.
Under the influence of the Forgetting Curse, Xenophilius completely forgot everything about Ivan showing the Resurrection Stone yesterday, and only remembered that they had a pleasant chat.
Ivan glanced at Luna apologetically, and after a brief meal, he continued to the cliff to try to break the magic on the Resurrection Stone.
After two days of constant trying, Ivan was able to remain calm amidst the harsh words of the illusions, but he still could not activate the true power of the Resurrection Stone.
Holding the rhombus crystal in his hand, Ivan sighed, knowing that he had not been able to untie this knot.
On the afternoon of the third day, after dinner, Ivan was about to perform Apparition as usual. However, before that, he was stopped by Luna. The little witch made a rare request.
"Can you go somewhere with me? Ivan?"
