Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 129

They pushed the old man off the bridge.

He saw the old man's shocked expression. Ah, this.

Won't I be hated?

[Ding, fourth stage mission issued: Turn around and shout behind you: Come at me if you have a problem! What kind of person bullies an old man!]

Huh?

Okay, this mission is a rescue mission!

Now there's no need to worry about this scene card appearing in reality; he was found by the person involved and surrounded by the temple.

Darren breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and shouted firmly at the unknown behind him.

"Who are you? If you've got the guts, come at me. What's the point of bullying an old man?"

[Ding, fifth stage mission issued: Act as if you're being forced to retreat, then jump off the bridge, saying as you jump: You'll never find him!]

Ok.

Darren shook his head helplessly, took a few steps back, a resolute glint in his eyes, and then suddenly jumped off the bridge.

He shouted, "You'll never find him!"

[Ding, sixth stage of the mission has been issued: Find the elderly person and say: You are safe now, go home!]

Darren noticed that the bridgehead he jumped from was actually a large staircase. He landed steadily on it.

The old man from before was kneeling there, looking pitiful.

So he quickly went up to the old man and said, "You're safe now, go home!"

[Ding, seventh stage task issued: After the old man finishes asking his question, answer him: You remind me of my grandfather, I feel very close to you.]

Darren:

Are you not going to have to acknowledge someone as your grandfather?

Chapter 131 Another Heir?!

Darren sighed.

This clearly implies that the fact has been accepted.

He already has many fathers, and many more in the future. So, recognizing another grandfather isn't a big deal.

After Darren accepted the quest, the old man silently looked up at him, then asked with a hint of nostalgia, "Why did you save me like that? You clearly..."

He stopped speaking.

Darren knew it was his turn next.

He looked at the old man, smiled gently, and said, "There's no reason. Perhaps you remind me of my grandfather..."

[Ding! All scene card tasks are complete. The scene card will be projected into reality, and the person involved will recall their memories within 24 hours.]

With the system's voice, Darren returned to reality.

Exhausted this time, he fell asleep with just a blink of his eyes.

Darren is asleep.

Nicolas Flamel, far away in Paris, was awakened.

"what happened?"

His wife looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Ah, Perenel, I have just entered someone else’s mind.”

"The world of the mind? How dare you?"

Perenel exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone's inner world is filled with all sorts of impure thoughts. This is especially true for the inner world of wizards.

Entering a wizard's mental world could very well lead to corruption. One might even suffer mental harm from those wizards.

Once upon a time, a wizard entered the mind of an evil man, and his soul was devoured by the villain.

Then it was as if he had been kissed by a Dementor. Only his physical body remained.

This is something even the most powerful spiritual masters in the wizarding world wouldn't dare to try.

And then her husband actually dared to be so bold!

Hearing Perenel's exclamation, Nicolas Flamel rubbed his head with a wry smile. This had certainly been a thrilling journey.

He didn't just venture into other people's minds; he also encountered Death. Yes, the real Death.

That was something he naturally understood in his inner world.

The moment he saw that figure, he knew with ease that it was Death.

Death came to claim his life, for he had evaded death for far too long.

It was a boy named Darren who saved him.

Speaking of this adventure, Nicolas Flamel also felt that he was very reckless.

He heard Dumbledore say that it was a few first-year students who protected the Philosopher's Stone.

I also heard that one of them was Harry Potter's brother, and that the kid even said that the afterlife was interesting, and that he could live on Darren Potter, whom he didn't like.

This sparked his intense curiosity.

So he decided to observe whether the child was lying, because he desired longevity.

He didn't think anyone would dislike immortality. Immortality was such a wonderful thing.

It allowed him and Perenel to see more of the scenery, and if the Philosopher's Stone hadn't become so useless to them, he wouldn't have been willing to give up this life of immortality.

But now there's a child who says he doesn't like immortality.

This dealt a severe blow to his long-held beliefs.

While he was observing, he became distracted and, without realizing it, found himself in Darren's mental world.

He was stunned when he entered the child's inner world. The child's inner world was so pure.

The air inside is fresh, which means there are no bad intentions.

The fact that it was sunny inside proves the child's pure heart. The fragrance of flowers inside represents the child's noble character.

Inside... there's even a bridge, which represents the child's willingness to sacrifice, kindness, and courage.

The moment he entered, Nicolas Flamel was struck by the scene before him. What kind of person was he?

Merlin, who is said to be a god, probably doesn't have a more beautiful inner world than this child.

Was what he did over the years right or wrong?

If a child with these qualities says they don't like immortality, does that mean immortality is wrong?

He stood at the bridgehead, bewildered.

Who knew that when I turned around I would see Darren.

He was wearing pajamas, a gentle smile on his face. His arrival made the entire space feel even more beautiful.

Nicolas Flamel, ashamed, avoided his gaze. Perhaps, he really was wrong.

But before he could speak, he heard Darren's question.

"Is something bothering you? Can you tell me about it? We don't know each other anyway, maybe talking about it will make you feel better?"

The child's gentle words still echoed in Nicolas Flamel's ears. He had an idea.

Yes, Darren doesn't recognize him now, and once he leaves this space, Darren will forget all about it.

So he voiced his doubts.

He expected to be scolded by Darren, but found that Darren did not reject his ideas at all.

He said, "If you want to live forever, you can live forever; if you don't want to live forever, you don't need to. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things; there's no need to worry about them."

Nicolas Flamel was stunned.

I had heard those words many times before, but this moment was more shocking than ever before.

This resolved most of his inner conflicts.

He was eager to continue the conversation, but little did he know that he would encounter death before he could finish speaking.

This legendary god has actually appeared in the realm of the mind. He's doomed.

Nicolas Flamel closed his eyes and awaited death.

He just felt a little sorry for Perenel. Who knew…

Someone actually managed to interrupt Death's call.

Death's chain was already around his neck, and he thought he was doomed.
