All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced - Chapter 1041: Train Ghost

Harry got off the Knight Bus and felt terrible. He squatted on the side of the road and retched.

"You not only need to practice magic, but also your body. If you don't have a good body, others can teach you a lesson with their fists."

Tao Yu felt helpless to complain about Harry's weak and malnourished body. He indeed didn't eat well at his uncle's house.

Right now, he doesn't even have the ability to do initial training, so he needs to make up for it first.

"Oh I feel better, thank you, what is this? I feel more energetic, wow, this feels good."

Not only did Harry recover, but he felt better than before. His mind was clearer and his eyesight was much better.

He felt that he could be more efficient in reading now.

"This is Bafei's brain-stimulating agent. It can also increase your memory, spirit and even magic power for a period of time. Let's go."

Harry followed Tao Yu happily, pushing his luggage cart towards the platform.

At this time, Tao Yu was very envious of the person in front of him who was walking easily, with his luggage floating behind him and casting an illusion spell.

I am still too green.

But thinking about the fact that some of the textbook contents that Tao Yu studied in a month have turned into this, one wonders how mysterious and terrifying the real wizarding world is.

Because he had met the Weasley family in Flourish and Blotts in advance and had heard about the way to enter Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, and now had mastered a few spells, Harry, who was not a complete novice in magic, also successfully sensed some differences in the platform.

“It should be here, right?”

Harry said to Tao Yu uncertainly

"Yes."

"In fact, the magic world has also noticed the problems brought about by the development of technology in the human world, and some wizards are working hard to learn. This steam train is one of the verification products. However, the efficiency of the wizard team is really low..."

Tao Yu sighed as he looked at this antique train. Compared with the speed of the overall technological explosion of mankind, the wizarding world really lacks changes.

Once there is a lack of variables, it is easy to become lifeless and immersed in the glory of the past.

"Hi, Harry! Tao Yu! I'm here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ron, who had striking red hair and was wearing an old robe, kept waving his hands excitedly.

His loud voice also attracted the attention of many young wizards who were getting on the bus nearby, including many senior students.

"Harry? Is his name Harry Potter?"

"The Boy-Who-Lived?"

"I heard it was."

"I saw him when I bought books at Flourish and Blotts. It was him."

"..."

It has to be said that when Harry first appeared, he was quite well-known, and Ron's voice immediately attracted a lot of curiosity.

Harry said with some complaint.

"Well, he is indeed an idiot."

Tao Yu saw Ron covering his mouth because he realized something was wrong, and he couldn't help but shook his head.

"I'm going to get in the car first, you can handle it yourself."

……

"That idiot Malfoy is such a cocky bastard."

Because of Ron's big mouth, Harry was watched by many people and even attracted Malfoy's strong friendship.

However, this naughty kid Malfoy didn't know how to make friends at all. His condescending attitude directly aroused Harry's disgust. The two sides even had some conflicts and finally parted unhappily.

When they came to the carriage and found Tao Yu, they discovered that in addition to Tao Yu, there were two other little wizards sitting in the carriage.

One is fat and looks a little dull, and the other is a beautiful girl with fluffy hair. However, this little beauty's front teeth are a little wide, like a little rabbit.

"Oh, it might be a bit crowded. Hi, my name is Ron Weasley, and this is Harry Potter, and I'm friends with Tao Yu."

Ron introduced himself first and also explained the reason why he squeezed in.

Hermione held out her hand generously.

Although she suddenly came from the Muggle world to the wizarding world and had to take the train to school alone, Hermione still maintained a very energetic momentum.

She really felt that she couldn't keep up with the kids in the wizarding world, so she worked hard at home during the summer vacation to prepare for the textbooks.

And before, when he saw Tao Yu use a flying spell to pull out the toad, he was also shocked and became more certain of his guess.

When this matter was mentioned again, Ron squeezed into the carriage, clasping his hands together and apologizing to Harry and Tao Yu.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Harry lacked friends since he was a child. Although Ron was like a piece of shit compared to Tao Yu, for a kid of this age, he didn't care so much.

In terms of the compatibility between the two, it is still very high.

Although Tao Yu has read all of Li Hen's books during this period, relying on the authority of his own "knowledge", he can re-analyze more insights every time he reads them.

The Standard Spells are divided into levels one to seven, with each grade having a corresponding book. If you don't look carefully, you may not be able to tell them apart, and no one pays attention.

When Harry heard Hermione say she was also from the Muggle world, he was very happy and said:"That's a coincidence. I also grew up in the Muggle world. If I hadn't received the notice, I wouldn't have known about it. The same is true for Tao Yu."

Harry's words surprised Hermione. Although she was very happy to meet three companions from the Muggle world at once, she never expected that Tao Yu, who had used the Flying Spell before, was also one of them!

Hermione's surprised expression made Harry look proud.

"That's right. Mr. Ollivander described Tao Yu as a natural born wizard and he has mastered many spells. We worked at Flourish and Blotts bookstore during the summer vacation and borrowed a lot of books there."

Harry introduced them one by one, looking very proud of them.

"Cool! You've already mastered spells before you even start school. That's amazing! You don't look like a little wizard from the Muggle world at all."

"Oh my god, why didn't I think of that? I missed a lot."

Hermione scratched her head in annoyance, but when she thought about how she hadn't finished all the first-year textbooks in one summer vacation, especially the practical magic, it seemed that working at Flourish and Blotts would not be of much help.

At this time, she also keenly discovered the problem and stared at the cover of Tao Yu's book for a long time.

"You're reading 'The Standard Book of Spells, Sixth Grade'? Isn't this supposed to be a sixth grade book?"

Then how can I keep up?

It’s over. I’m going to be the last one…

……

Although the journey on the train was somewhat boring, the peers still had a lot of topics to talk about. Three of them were from the Muggle world, and Ron was a big mouth, so he also talked nonstop about some interesting things in the wizarding world.

Ron also brought out his pet Scabbers, a hairless mouse with a finger missing.

The appearance of Scabbers reduced Hermione's appetite a lot, but she also knew that this might be the little wizard's pet, just like Neville's toad.

"This is my brother Percy's former pet. It has been in my house for a long time and is very well behaved."

Ron introduced Banban as if he were presenting a treasure, and Tao Yu took a look at him with great interest. Just one glance and Banban squeaked and crawled into Ron's arms, as if he was a little scared.

This kind of timid character and endurance is actually very strong.

It's just that Ron didn't know how terrifying Tao Yu's talent was. But as a mature wizard, Pettigrew knew clearly that the student in front of him was different from other students. That meaningful look almost made him think that he was being seen through.

"It's a very special mouse. It's not like ordinary mice."

Tao Yu smiled. Actually, now was not a good time to catch Pettigrew. Pettigrew was still a "hero" because all the blame was on Sirius. Even if it was abnormal for him to hide in the Weasley family, he could explain that he was worried about the revenge of Voldemort's remnants.

"Well, you can still read the Daily Prophet in Azkaban. Sirius originally knew about it through this. When the Daily Prophet has a chance to be on camera one day, it should be enough to put it in there."

But just when Tao Yu was thinking of this casually, his expression suddenly froze and he sensed something strange.

"What the hell... this isn't magic..."

Turning my head and looking out the window, I saw the steam train was turning and I could just see white steam gushing out from the front of the train. But soon, the white steam seemed to turn black and covered the entire train.

The sudden change scared the little wizards on the train, especially the freshmen, many of whom screamed.

However, senior students were also on this train. The head of each grade came out first, centered on the senior students, and quickly calmed the emotions of the young wizards on the train.

"Don't worry, everyone. Please keep quiet."

"We have already called the teacher on duty. Our Muggle Studies teacher, Professor Quirinus Quirrell, is in the car now."

The senior students drew their wands and walked in the train aisle. Although the lighting spell at the tip of the wand was only the simplest spell, the light it emitted dispelled the darkness and brought a sense of security to the young wizards.

Quirinus Quirrell used to be the teacher of the elective course Muggle Studies. He had a very solid theoretical foundation, which was why he was chosen as the teacher of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

However, when he was traveling outside and preparing to enhance his practical ability, he was encountered by Voldemort, and the spirit parasitized on the back of his head, causing him to become mentally abnormal and become a stutterer, cowardly, timid and afraid of the light.

But this time, he was the only teacher on the train...

A hint of contemplation flashed across Tao Yu's eyes.

This is not the power of the wizarding world, but some kind of strange arrival.

And this wasn't just a coincidence.

It was normal for the wizarding world to study some strange things. Either some students had brought sealed contraband directly from home and it was opened here, or it was something Voldemort and Quirinus Quirrell did...

Ron couldn't help but shrink his neck at this time, seeming to feel a little frightened.

Neville, who had rarely spoken, spoke for the first time. This boy, who always had a bad memory, managed to speak a fairly complete sentence this time.

"Well, I heard my grandma say that there have been some strange and bizarre incidents recently, so she made a crystal ball for me. If I touch it, it will turn red."

Neville timidly took out a hot crystal ball that emitted red light from his arms.

Ron also wailed at this time.

His father works for the Ministry of Magic, so he is well-informed about this information.

"Dear students, please keep quiet..."

Just at this moment, Quirinus Quirrell, the only professor on the train, seemed to have inspected the current carriage. Quirinus Quirrell spoke with a stutter and did not look reliable at all. He had a turban wrapped around his head, covering the back of his head.

Quirinus Quirrell, who was standing in the aisle, also looked at Harry deeply, but soon turned his head back and continued speaking.

"I, we should have encountered some strange events recently. We need to find the rules to deal with these events. For now, there is no good magic to dispel them directly. We can only alleviate them."

Wizards have the convenience of magic, so it is easier for them to deal with strange events than ordinary people, and it is also easier for them to find patterns.

But while Quirinus Quirrell was giving a simple explanation, Tao Yu was constantly looking at him.

Although Quirinus Quirrell had Voldemort's scar on the back of his head, and Harry seemed to be sensitive to the scar, it was probably just some residual effect.

Then, feeling the darkness surrounding the train, Tao Yu immediately felt refreshed.

"Voldemort wants to use his current broken body to control the weirdness? Good man, this seems to be in line with his character. He suddenly attacked in the car. Was it because Ron called out Harry's name and caused extensive discussion among the young wizards?"

Tao Yu was not sure if this was the reason, but now he was certain that the black fog was related to Voldemort.

In order to be resurrected, he would do anything possible, not to mention that Voldemort already has Horcruxes. Even if he didn't have Horcruxes, there are still some balanced means in the weirdness that can accomplish an alternative resurrection!

"In the early stages, there seems to be very few powerful and strange creatures with their own ghosts. This should be something that Voldemort has worked hard to find, or even cultivated. And this time his target is Harry? Or a whole car of little wizards..."

In terms of his character, Voldemort is at best a village bully, much worse than Grindelwald.

But from beginning to end, he seemed to have very complicated feelings about Hogwarts.

To pure-blood wizards, Voldemort was still considered blood and subordinates that could be recruited.

It is unlikely that he will target all the younger generation of the British wizarding community at Hogwarts.

“If Voldemort still had his own reason, after he started to use weirdness, he should have been able to perceive the trouble and threat of weirdness.

“But considering his twisted mentality, if he integrates into the weirdness and forms a sense of belonging to it, and regards himself as one of the same kind, then it is not a big deal for him to attack wizards brazenly. However, this ghost den, apart from isolating the inner and outer worlds, has not yet revealed any other problems…”

It was completely dark outside the train window. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, but you could vaguely see various shadows twisting in the darkness.

The train itself seemed to possess a certain protective magic, and the darkness that seeped into the carriage was not fast, and was also resisted by the illumination from the tip of the wand.

But even so, darkness seemed to be flowing slowly in from the gap between the car windows in the form of liquid, climbing like asphalt.

The walls and top of the train began to show some mottled signs of erosion. The temperature around was also dropping. A puff of white air could be seen with every breath. A sense of fear began to emerge in my heart.

"Has it also been integrated with the Dementors? Or is it just this weird characteristic that absorbs the fear of the entire carload of young wizards to replenish itself?"

The shadow of a brass book seemed to flash in Tao Yu's eyes. This ghost den was very quiet, but the basic rule seemed to be to arouse fear in one's heart. The greater the fear, the stronger the ghost den. When it reached its extreme, it could devour the entire soul with fear, thus turning the physical body into a ghost servant in the ghost den!

The method of resistance is simple, just have no fear and negative emotions, but there is still a sense of erosion similar to that of Dementors.

Harry, who had the weakest resistance, began to turn pale.

"The Patronus Charm can be broken, but my Patronus..."

Tao Yu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face at this time, but if he controlled himself and just emitted the dispelling light, it should be able to protect for a while, at least it should not be a problem to protect this small room.

At the same time, Tao Yu said to Quirinus Quirrell next to him:

"Professor, this kind of darkness seems to arouse fear in our hearts. According to what I read in the book, it seems to be somewhat similar to the characteristics of Dementors."

Quirinus Quirrell looked back at Tao Yu, and although he stuttered, he expressed his sincere approval.

So many students didn't notice it, but this first-year wizard who had just entered school saw it clearly.

"So I think the Patronus Charm against Dementors may be able to resist."

"I-I'm sorry, I'm not good at the Patronus Charm. If any of my classmates know it, they can give it a try."

There are also quite a few senior students here.

Although the Patronus Charm is a relatively unpopular and difficult spell to learn, several students in their sixth and seventh grades still began to try it.

"Call the gods and call the guards!"

"Call the gods and call the guards!"

Only a very small number of people were able to condense the physical image of animals.

This actually shows that the abilities of Hogwarts students vary greatly.

When the light of the Patronus spell appeared, it seemed to really dispel a lot of the gloom in the carriage, and the feeling of fear in the heart was also dissipating.

After everyone else had finished, Tao Yu also drew out his magic wand and swung it casually.

The bright light illuminated the entire carriage.

All the darkness in this carriage was swept away, and even invaded the ghost den outside the carriage.

However, no animal power came out of the tip of Tao Yu's wand. It just emitted a gentle white light, which made everyone who was illuminated by it feel warm in their hearts.

Only occasionally there seemed to be tiny tentacles waving at the tip of the wand.
