Chapter 581 Experiment Diary
It has been a week since Colin Creevey was attacked.
Everyone is finally no longer forgetful, especially wizards born in Muggle families. They are very careful about matters that are related to their own lives, for fear of becoming the next Colin Creevey.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
Albert has been very busy recently and is preparing to make first contact with Tom Riddle's diary. Because he had learned from Quirrell's mistakes, Albert did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that he could control everything.
Quirrell completely underestimated Voldemort back then and thought he could control him, which is why he ended up like that.
Albert did not dare to underestimate Voldemort at all, even though the Tom in the diary was just a young wizard.
After he was fully prepared, Albert took out the box containing Tom Riddle from the Room of Requirement and studied it.
At this moment, Albert is making preparations for research. He will not let Riddle know his true identity. God knows whether he can sense the specific situation outside the diary.
After all, at the end of the novel, Riddle ran out of the diary.
Albert threw the Lockhart hair he collected earlier into a small cup of compound potion that was as thick as syrup. When the hair came into contact with the potion, it immediately hissed and bubbled.
After a few seconds, the potion turned as dark blond as Lockhart's hair.
“I wish this stuff tasted better,” Albert muttered. Although he didn't have any expectations for this, he still drank all the compound potion in the cup in one go.
The taste of the compound potion is really hard to describe, a bit like overcooked cabbage, which made Albert want to gag.
“Damn it!”
Albert coughed twice, and he could feel the effect of the compound potion taking effect.
【After the compound medicine entered the stomach, a terrible burning sensation quickly spread from the stomach throughout the body, reaching to the fingers, toes and even all over the body.
I can feel that my internal organs are churning. If I hadn’t taken the compound medicine, I even doubt that I would have suffered from any serious disease, and I might have died on the spot at any time.
Recommendation: People with serious diseases should not use compound medicines to avoid getting sick while taking them. 】
Albert's consciousness is still strong. At least after taking the compound potion, he can still control the quill next to him to record his feelings after taking the compound potion in the diary.
Albert stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked up at himself in the mirror. Due to the effect of the potion, he was breathing heavily, and his facial features were squirming and deformed like hot wax, looking extremely weird and oozing.
It was a terrible feeling, as if the skin all over the body was melting like hot wax. 】
Seeing helplessly, his hands began to get bigger, his fingers became thicker, and his whole body swelled due to the effect of the medicine.
Fortunately, Albert had put on a new robe in advance, so his clothes were not torn due to the deformation of the compound potion.
The transformation only lasted a few seconds. It came suddenly and went away quickly.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, the person panting was no longer Albert, but Lockhart, who was dressed a bit sloppily.
Everything stopped.
“I really don’t know how little Crouch continued to take the compound potion for more than half a year.” Albert took a deep breath and looked at his current body. He was still a little unaccustomed to it.
“Sure enough, the endurance of wizards is not ordinary.” He muttered, and after arranging his clothes a little, he began to look up the records of the compound potion he had just taken, and wrote down some personal experiences in it.
After Albert finished writing, he walked towards the box where the diary was placed. It was a box made of dragon leather, which could effectively isolate magic.
There is also a wooden box in the dragon leather box, which is made of the guardian tree. Albert has cast a strong protective magic on it, which can effectively isolate the black magic. Even the secret detector cannot detect the black magic inside. trace.
As for whether these protections can effectively block the penetration of Horcruxes, Albert actually doesn't know, but even if there are these protections, he would not want to carry the Horcruxes with him.
The third floor is the box made by Nico Flamel. After Albert opens the box, he uses the magic control gloves to take out the diary from the metal box.
Of course he would not touch the Horcrux directly with his hands. Even if he wore dragon skin gloves, Albert did not want to touch the Horcrux directly to avoid being affected by the Horcrux.
After placing Tom Riddle's diary on the table, Albert took out various styles of dark magic detectors purchased by the house elves.
The first is the looking glass, which is a dark magic detector that looks like a glass top. When Albert placed it next to the diary, it did not light up or rotate, which meant that there was no suspicious person around.
【Looking Glass does not react to Horcruxes. 】
The quill pen wrote this sentence in the diary.
【Sure enough, Tom Riddle's Horcrux cannot be considered a human being, so the looking glass did not react. This also proves why the Human Trace Curse did not react to Tom. 】
Next, Albert took a slender gold rod detector and poked it in Tom's diary. The honesty detector had a certain attraction without touching the diary, and the tip emitted a faint light.
【The honesty detector responded, proving that the diary was indeed enchanted. 】
Then there is the secret detector. Unlike the honest detector used to detect hidden spells and hidden magical objects, the secret detector is an auxiliary tool used by the Ministry of Magic to detect dark magic items. As long as the detector touches a dark magic item, it will A buzzing vibrating alarm will sound immediately.
【The secret detector responded, proving that the diary is indeed a dark magic item. 】
【Routine testing has been carried out on Tom's diary, and it is currently unknown whether Tom Riddle in the diary can peek into the outside world. 】
At the end of the novel, Riddle is powerful enough to appear outside the diary, and can even use a wand like an entity. He doesn’t know what situation Riddle is in now, but he has to guard against it.
Next, he started to drip ink on the diary. The ink shone brightly on the diary for a second, and then it seemed to be sucked into the paper and disappeared without a trace.
Albert was anxious to write in the diary, but continued to drip water on the page.
It's just that this time it was ordinary water droplets, and the water droplets were not absorbed by the diary, but made the diary wet?
【Riddle's diary was actually wet with water. Does that mean it can be ignited by flames? 】
Albert began to try to control the gloves to tear off a page from the diary, but failed. Even if he used the cutting spell in the end, he could not damage the diary.
Sure enough, just as he remembered, the Horcrux was protected by strong magic and would not be destroyed at will.
But...why does the diary get wet with water?
This is unreasonable?
【Can I soak the diary and tear out the pages?】
After Albert thought about it, he recorded the idea and prepared to test it another day.
He now left a page of the diary exposed alone, looking like a prisoner about to have his head chopped off.
“The flames are blazing.”
Albert raised his wand and tried to burn it on that page. The flames ignited, but soon went out again without causing any damage to the diary.
Next, I tried using an ordinary flame, but still failed.
【Fire cannot cause damage to Horcruxes. (You can consider Li Huo.)]
After a simple test, there was still no sign of Tom Riddle appearing.
【Perhaps, you can consider using "the threat of throwing the diary into the cesspool" to see if you can force him out. 】
" He wrote in his experimental diary, but this line was quickly spent, "Forget it, after all, I have to try to conduct communication research on Tom next, and it will be bad if it makes a stink." "
“Hello, Tom.”
The quill wrote according to Albert's wishes.
This line of text flashed on the paper and was sucked in, leaving no trace at all.
However, there was no other reaction in the diary.
"Ouch! Are you already wary of me?" Albert couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said, "This won't work."
