After separating from Coraline, Rosie felt a little heavy.
The invitation event was completed, but she was not happy at all because of the reward for completing the task. Instead, she felt very uncomfortable.
In order to protect Rosie, Coraline made Voldemort agree to let Rosie go three times in exchange for the second volume of "The Book of Melina", and in exchange for her resentment containing Grace's astral body and mental body nuclear fragments.
"Fragments of the core of resentment (disposable props): fragments peeled off from the core of resentment, which contain special power derived from the soul. This prop can be used in conjunction with the special scene of resentment. Creatures that die in the place of resentment, 10% of the experience of its current level will be absorbed by this item and fed back to the holder."
Looking at the diamond-shaped fragment in his hand, Rosie finally understood what Grace wanted to do at that time.
She led us to Wu's Orphanage, obviously intending to kill us and seize our experience with the core of resentment.
Haha...I am really an injustice. She deliberately tried to harm us, but I still had to save her.
After muttering something depressed in his heart, Rossi finally sighed and chose to put the overall situation first.
…
A few minutes later, St. Mungo's Hospital's Curse Injury Unit.
Seeing the therapist raising his head and moving the fragments of the core of resentment away from the lens of the magic prop that looked like a microscope, Rossi immediately asked:
"How about it, Mr. Lancelot? Are Grace's astral body and mental body contained in the fragments of the core of resentment?"
"Judging from the characteristics displayed in the fragments, what is contained inside is indeed the astral body and the mental body."
"Are you sure it's Grace's?"
Rossi asked worriedly, "What I mean is, could the mental body and astral body here belong to someone else or be mixed with someone else's consciousness?
If so, will another person's consciousness be awakened with the help of Grace's body? "
Seeing Lancelot looking at her blankly after hearing the question, she explained:
"What I mean is, if someone uses a method similar to making a Horcrux to split their soul or astral body or mental body into this fragment, can we identify and remove it?"
"Haha, Miss Rossi, you are so cute that you would have such an idea!"
Lancelot couldn't help laughing, "First of all, the soul is exclusive. The mental and astral bodies of others cannot be integrated with one's own soul.
Secondly, the reason why Horcrux is called evil black magic is not only because it requires a cruel death to make, but also because making it is also an extremely painful thing for the maker. I think no one will endure it. With such pain, my soul is trapped in such a fragment.
Of course, even if someone does choose to do this, it will be detected by this magic microscope, so don't worry about that. "
When she heard that she could find out, Rosie immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This game was too evil. Although such worries were a bit fantasy, she still had to beware of this happening.
"By the way, sir, when do you plan to treat Grace?"
"In two hours, I still need to make some preparations."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll come back in two hours."
After walking out of Lancelot's office, Rossi returned home and quit the game.
——I got the fragment of the Resentment Core and gave it to the doctor at St. Mungo's. The doctor said that Grace would be treated in two hours.
After picking up his phone and sending a message to Lu Yi, and then attaching a screenshot of the description of the Resentment Core Fragment and a video of the conversation with Lancelot, Rossi sat quietly in the room and waited for the other party to contact him.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the other party knocked on the door of his room.
"Rossi, you did a great job. I have already reported this matter. The commander in chief appreciates your performance very much."
Lu Yi walked into the room and said with a smile.
"Appreciation?"
Rossi chuckled and asked casually: "Just verbal praise? Isn't there any more practical reward?"
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, the expression on Lu Yi's face suddenly froze, "If you have any requirements, you can make them, and I can try to apply for you."
"I want to go into that alien spacecraft and have a look, is that okay?"
After asking in a joking manner, she then added, "You came to me specifically, didn't you just want to tell me that Commander Hu gave me a verbal praise?"
"Uh...that's not the case."
After habitually checking the room for a few times, Lu Yi shook his head with a wry smile and returned to the topic, "Researchers from the combat center have assisted Grace in re-logging into the game and are monitoring various data on her body in real time.
Now, you need to enter the game and conduct all-round video recording while the NPC is treating Grace. "
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"You'd better take someone with you and record the video at the same time to avoid omissions."
"No problem, is there anything else?"
"No, you can start taking action."
"Don't worry, there are still nearly two hours."
Smiling lightly, Rossi looked into Lu Yi's eyes and said after a moment, "In fact, I heard from the commander-in-chief last time, 'Confirm whether the medical plan in the game can really affect reality.' While I was saying this, I kept thinking about a question."
After a slight pause for two seconds, she continued:
"Just because I mentioned that I had looked for a doctor in the game, and they said that retrieving the core of resentment would help Grace recover basically, the commander-in-chief is willing to let all the players in our base listen to my instructions. Isn't this too much? Is this too much fun?
So, I was wondering, did the combat department get any information from other channels? "
"Rosie, there are some highly confidential matters that are really not convenient for you to know right now."
Regarding her speculation, Lu Yi did not deny it, "When this matter is over, no matter whether it is successful or not, I will submit an application to my superiors and tell you some confidential things."
"I hope you mean what you say."
After that, Rossi looked at him deeply, then turned around and lay down in the game cabin, "Please close the door for me, thank you!"
…
Two hours later, in the game, in the ward of St. Mungo's Hospital.
Rossi and Jiang Jing stood on both sides of the hospital bed, looking unblinkingly at Lancelot who was treating Grace with a silly smile on her face.
With a gentle wave of his right hand holding the yew wand, Grace fell into a deep sleep.
The spell used by Lancelot was the sleeping spell that Jiang Jing had also learned, but in terms of the effect of the magic, it was more than a little stronger than him who only had one level.
Immediately afterwards, at the moment when the fragment of the core of resentment was gently thrown up by Lancelot, his wand also touched the fragment of the core of resentment.
At the same time, a gray and hazy light suddenly spread out from the fragments of the core of resentment, and disappeared into Grace's head in the blink of an eye.
Vaguely, Rosie saw Grace's twisted and elongated face in the beam.
It lasted like this for a few minutes, and the fragments of the core of resentment floating in the air suddenly shattered into powder with a "bang".
"Success!"
Seeing this, Lancelot breathed a sigh of relief, put down his wand and said, "She should be able to wake up in a few minutes. You guys wait here. I have to go drink a cup of coffee to replenish my energy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me." .”
Walking to the door, he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, her etheric body is damaged, and she should be emotionally unstable and uncontrollable. There is no way to treat this. If she shows aggression, put her Just knock him out."
"OK!"
Nodding in response, the two watched Lancelot leave.
"Do you want to continue recording?"
Glancing at Grace, who was still sleeping, Jiang Jing cast his eyes on Rossi, "How about just quitting the game and asking Lu Yi and the others to force her offline to confirm?"
"Keep recording, wait and see!"
Rosie shook her head and said, "Just in case, let's wait until she really wakes up."
The two waited for about three more minutes. Grace began to breathe rapidly. The next second, she suddenly sat up from the bed, opened her eyes and looked to both sides.
The moment she saw Rossi and Jiang Jing, her expression immediately changed and she asked manically:
"What is this place? What have you done to me?"
Rolling his eyes in his mind, Rosie ignored her question and asked instead:
"Grace, what is your real name in real life?"
"What do you want to do? Why should I tell you?"
Grace burst into tears suddenly, "It's not just that you stole my hidden mission, but you still want to cause trouble for me in reality?"
Too lazy to look at her, Jiang Jing said to Rosie speechlessly:
"Rosie, I suddenly feel that saving her was a wrong decision."
"It doesn't matter, we are not doing it for her anyway."
Glancing at Grace, who was still crying, Rosie shrugged, "Let's go, we're getting ready to log off."
With that said, she disapparated and left the hospital.
…
Half an hour later, Rossi, who was chatting with Jiang Jing, received the call.
"Rosie, Grace is awake, but she has some mental problems."
Lu Yi's voice paused for two seconds, "Just like the doctor in the game predicted, her mood is very unstable and easily out of control even after leaving the game."
Actually woke up? ! !
Although she also guessed that Grace might wake up, Rosie was still very surprised when it actually happened.
If you become stupid or die simply because of the game, although it is a bit cruel, it is still acceptable.
After all, the game cabin is connected to the player's brain. It can damage the brain and cause brain damage, or even stimulate the body through the cranial nerves to cause cardiac arrest. Although this is a bit mysterious, it may not be possible with the level of technology in this world.
"While she was receiving treatment in the game, what happened in the game cabin? Did it perform any treatment on Grace?"
"No, judging from the feedback from various precision instruments and the videos from high-speed cameras, there was no change at all in the game cabin from beginning to end."
"Could it be hypnosis?"
Rossi tried to ask, in this world, hypnosis can indeed change people's cognition.
"It's impossible, no matter how brilliant the hypnosis is, it can't be hidden from the precision instruments in our base." Lu Yi asserted.
"Um...okay!"
She took a long breath of helplessness and said, "Although there is no other discovery, it has been confirmed that the treatment plan in the game can affect reality. This can be regarded as completing the goal set at the beginning."
After a pause, she turned to ask again: "By the way, didn't you say that after this matter is over, you will tell me some confidential things?"
"Well, that's the real reason why I came here in person."
Looking across their faces, Lu Yi said solemnly, "Roxi, Jiang Jing. What I am going to say next is a secret belonging to our combat department. Whether it is in the game or in reality, you must keep it absolutely confidential. If you can Can you do it?”
War department secrets?
Looking at Jiang Jing, Rossi nodded vigorously: "I will keep it a secret!"
"I will never tell anyone." Jiang Jing promised immediately.
After hearing the two people's assurances, Lu Yi nodded slightly:
"Before the Grace incident happened, we got some information from a Muggle-born player. In this game, the medical methods that appear in ordinary society can be reproduced in reality. Not only medical treatment, but also other things, such as military industry, smelting, etc., can be reproduced in reality."
"Perhaps those methods were moved from reality into the game?"
Jiang Jing asked in confusion, "This possibility should be high, right?"
"No!"
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "According to our investigation, there are many things, including some theories, that have never appeared in our world."
In our world?
As a time traveler, Rossi was confused by his statement. According to what he said before, shouldn't it be described as "in reality"?
I was suspicious in my heart when I heard him continue:
"You must be wondering why I use the term 'our world'?
In our combat department, quite a few researchers believe that the game Harry Potter is a real world, or in other words, a world that is infinitely close to reality.
And that game cabin is actually just a medium that allows the player's soul consciousness to enter that world. "
"Why do you have such a suspicion?"
"They believe that in this era of global unification, if this game can continue to exist under official investigation, then the people behind the game are very likely to come from the universe or another world...
The reason why the game cabin is a medium is because of the player's state after entering the game. Even the most advanced official game cabin, when people use it to play games, the cerebral cortex will still change due to what they see in the game.
But this game cabin allows players to immediately enter a state like deep sleep the moment they log in to the game. No matter what they encounter in the game, they cannot change the fluctuations in the cerebral cortex.
Especially after what happened with Grace, more and more people believed in this speculation. "
Uh... It sounds like this conjecture seems to be reasonable, and if so, then what happened to Grace will be explained.
Nodding in thought, Rossi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yi, "You must have some purpose in telling us this, right?"
"Yes! If you come across any knowledge about the principles of magic and occultism in the game, I hope you can study it with all your heart and record it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jing, who thought his idea was exaggerated, couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think the magic in the game can be used in reality?"
Hearing this, Lu Yi spread his hands and said: "This is a request from the superior, and it is just a try."
