All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 63 Triple Soul

Harry stared at the artificial man's soul. As the artificial man became aware of the concept of "self", this colorless "field" gradually became more active, revealing a vigorous sense of life when observed by the naked eye, like a strong noon. The heat wave rising above the campfire in the sun.

He closed his eyes and tried to sense with his wand.

The artificial human soul imitated Harry's appearance, but it soon realized that it was not Harry Potter, so the image faded away like dust washed by rain.It returned to the appearance of a cloud of mist, and inside the mist there were still many short thin lines in the form of "mayflies", and they were multiplying rapidly.

"What do you see?"

"Lots of short strings."

"Don't be disturbed by the strings of thought, go deep into your soul."

It was only then that Harry realized that these short lines floating in the soul were called "thought strings." He wasn't sure if he had heard this term before, or it might have been de Lin's own creation.

"What are thought strings?"

"The reflection of brain activity in the soul is also the carrier of magic. Thought strings are the projection of memories and thoughts. Each string represents a thinking activity, a bundle of nerve impulses. They are like the flesh and blood of the soul, and young people's thinking strings are full of While fresh, the old man's thinking strings are dry and weak, the wise man's thinking strings are large and quick, and the fool's thinking strings are sparse and slow."

Harry found this statement very interesting, and he also wanted to know what his own thinking strings looked like. He should be young, but he doesn't know whether he is a wise man or a fool.

However, he did not forget about business and tried to penetrate deep into his soul. This feeling was very strange. Harry didn't feel that he was moving forward or backward. He only felt that he was "dive". The density of the thought strings in his magic vision was increasing. They seemed to be surrounding something, as if there was something deep in the depths. a "core".

But Harry saw nothing.

"Mr. De Lin..."

"Wait a moment. Okay, pay attention to the state of these thought strings. The topological structure of the conscious body has been formed."

Harry observed the thought strings carefully, and found that when they crossed a certain limit, they would immediately become lifeless. This limit is a sphere in the soul, and all the thought strings that enter the limit seem to lose their activity, just sliding along the inertia, After leaving the boundary range, it will become active again.

"It seems like there is an invisible spherical space."

"This is the body of consciousness, you can go deeper."

With some fear and prudence, Harry crossed the boundary of the edge of his consciousness. Here, he felt a heavy pressure, his vision was shrunk and blurred, and it was difficult to move forward.

"Sir, I feel uncomfortable."

"This is due to the influence of mind pressure. Don't worry, keep diving."

"clear."

"Now, can you see it? The 'self' at the core of the conscious body."

"Yes, a dark star. It's attracting the strings of thought." Harry felt an innate fear of this void soul celestial body like a black hole, "What a scary thing."

"This is the monster called 'I.'

Harry couldn't help staring into the black hole of his soul.The soul structure called "self" seems to be the brightest gem in the universe, and anyone who sees it will be fascinated.

"Wake up." De Lin's voice came from the distant horizon.

Harry shivered, and finally opened his eyes.

"I feel as if I'm drowning. Sorry Mr. de Lin, I didn't mean to."

Linde waited for Harry to calm down a little, and he began to talk about his theory of the soul.

"You have just seen the two-layer structure of the soul. Memory is the most original and fundamental structure of the soul. The soul that loses memory becomes another person. The way Voldemort made Horcruxes was to tear apart part of the memory. Store it in other things. Doing so will indeed gain immortality, but it will also cause irreparable damage to the soul.

"Human babies begin to remember things when they are four or five years old. At this time, they have already formed a conscious body, and 'self-awareness' appears even later. Between the ages of six and eight, self-awareness will gradually become clear."

Harry thought of the magic development theory proposed by Linde, "Self-awareness will affect the development of magic, right?"

"That's right, the wizard's thinking string is the carrier of magic power. You have also seen what kind of void monster 'self-awareness' is. Once it appears in the conscious body, the thinking string will be restricted to the surface of 'self-consciousness'. When the carrier of magic is reduced, spillover occurs. The birth of a squib is often a premature tragedy."

Harry nodded, "What if there are a lot of thinking strings?"

"The more thinking strings, the stronger the 'self-awareness'. This is a tug-of-war. Therefore, the earlier the magic riot occurs, the more advantageous it will be."

“Did the thought strings absorbed by ‘self-awareness’ disappear like this?”

"No, it won't. 'Self-awareness' does not always exist. For example, when you dream, there is no self-awareness. At this time, those attracted thinking strings will be released again into the consciousness and even the memory. .”

"Why does self-awareness disappear? Isn't that equivalent to death?"

"Self-awareness is not equal to consciousness, let alone life. Descartes has a saying called I think, therefore I am. Many people understand that because I can think, I exist, but in fact, it is because of my thinking that leads to The existence of 'I'. You need to clarify the causal relationship to understand this sentence."

Harry was thoughtful, thinking that if Hermione were here, she might be able to understand.

Linde was a little helpless. Explaining theories to children has never been a comfortable job. When he was a teacher, he was often so angry that his students gave him brain congestion.

"You just need to know that the source of the soul is the memory body, and the function of the soul is the consciousness body."

"What's the other layer of structure?"

"The final soul structure is called the 'thought body'. It may even appear earlier than the memory body. Because it represents the 'name', which represents yourself and others' 'missing' of the name. The thought body is The weirdest, most wonderful, and deepest field in the soul structure. Time will destroy the memory body and the consciousness body, but the thought body can always exist through people's memory."

After Harry understood these words, many questions were answered at once, and many more questions arose.Now he vaguely understood why everyone called Voldemort the "mysterious man". It turned out that the name really had magical powers.

Linde smiled and said: "The thought body can make people become gods, but the conditions are very strict. Magic curses are usually applied to the thought body. In addition, powerful wizards can resurrect the dead through the thought body. Unfortunately, due to the lack of the original The memory body and the split consciousness body are completely different, and the resurrected person is not the one that really existed in history."

These words about resurrecting the dead made Harry's heart suddenly rise with endless enthusiasm, and then was buried by despair. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but in the end he said nothing.

Linde stared at the thin artificial human in his hand, "Give this little thing a name. Let you observe the structure of the thought body, and it can be regarded as making the best use of everything."

Harry stared at the pale, smooth skin of the android and said, "Egg."

When he uttered this name, a layer of "shell", or "armor" or "skin" was quickly attached to the surface of the artificial human's soul.Visible to the naked eye, the soul body has a vague shape and color. If it is clearer, it will be very similar to a ghost.

At this point, the three-layer structure of the soul has been revealed, the teaching is completed, and this one-time teaching aid can be scrapped.

Linde pulled out the soul of the artificial man and stuffed it into the soul stone, and the soulless body quickly turned into a ball of wet ashes.

Looking at this scene, Harry shuddered unconsciously, but the strange thing was that he was not afraid in his heart, nor could he be said to be excited, but only felt a strange longing and a heavy numbness.
