Chapter 797

There is a dark place in everyone's heart.

Someone once said that where there is light, there must be shadow, but the shadow is always hidden behind, which is often not as clear as light.

But if you suddenly turn around, you will find that you are so close to the shadow, as if you would fall into it with a light step.

"Hermione, look at me."

In the responsive room, Maka sat face to face with her. At this time, there were only these two chairs in the room. Even Harry, Ron and even Luna could only wait quietly in the corridor outside.

It can be seen that Hermione looks very uncomfortable. At present, she may not be ready to tell some truth.

Or she didn't want Maka to know that she was actually jealous of Luna.

But Maka didn't ask anything.

"Look at me, breathe in and out... Don't think too much and let yourself really relax. Now I start asking you some simple questions. I think it should help you restore your calm."

In this empty room with only two people, Maka's voice is particularly clear.

Hermione heard that he seemed to put his voice as soft as possible, and the slightly relaxed vocal cords trembled with the air to produce familiar pronunciation and tone, with its consistent easygoing style.

Just this way of speaking made Hermione feel very relieved.

"So..." Maka asked calmly with a smile on her mouth, "does it need a license issued by the Ministry of magic to raise swallowtail dogs?"

"Required."

"What fertilizer can effectively increase the growth rate of luminous grass?"

"The droppings of the lunatic."

"Can the leaves of Mandela grass be used for cooking?"

"Yes."

"Which member of the wizard Council in the 14th century defined 'man' as' any creature in the magical world that walks on two legs'

"Speaker burdock Malden."

"What is the trade name of a chocolate cream sandwich bar launched by Mars magic food company in 1990?"

"Mars stick."

"The fifth usage of dragon blood..."

When Maka asked these questions, although her tone was very light and slow, she spoke very fast.

Obviously, he knew that Hermione would be able to answer these questions, which almost included many subjects and common sense of life. In order for the other person to fully concentrate on continuous thinking, he must ask questions at a fast pace.

In fact, Maka originally wanted Hermione to empty her mind as much as possible, but this method similar to ancient wizard meditation is not easy.

To this end, Maka simply did the opposite and filled Hermione's thinking completely with a large number of fast-paced questions.

And this can make Hermione no longer have the strength to think about other things.

Seeing that Hermione had gradually entered the state of full thinking, Maka knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved. However, although Maka has only two steps to do, the second step is much more difficult than the first step.

While continuing to ask Hermione all inclusive questions, Maka suddenly took out the staff and placed the top of the staff between him and Hermione.

The next moment, I saw a faint Rune suddenly outlined on the top of the staff, and continuously spread out layers of invisible fluctuations.

This is the soul rule rune, and it's the one Maka learned from the enchantment tablet. Through countless studies and gains from Sarah, Maka has preliminarily understood its significance.

Through this rune, he can arouse other people's desires, but if used in reverse, he can also appease some abnormal desires.

Yes, according to Luna and Ron's hasty narration, Marca had some numbers about Hermione's strange.

A moment later, Maka cancelled the transmission of magic, and the soul rule Rune dispersed quietly. When the invisible ripples that spread out disappeared, he conveniently put away the staff.

"The last question," makaro said in a soft voice, "who wrote the sentence 'when you stare at the abyss from a distance, the abyss also stares at you'

"What... What?"

Hermione suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Maka suspiciously.

"Well, I think you are indeed a qualified resident of the magic world," Maka suddenly leaned back in her chair and said in a relaxed tone. "The sentence just came from a famous Muggle scholar whose name is' Friedrich William Nietzsche '."

"... 'the abyss is staring at you too'," Hermione chewed this sentence and couldn't help feeling sad. "It's really a creepy word."

"In fact, not necessarily," Maka shook her head. "If you regard something as an 'abyss', it will really become an abyss. When you fight against the abyss, the process of struggle will often turn into another abyss ①..."

As Hermione listened, Marka reached out and shook her hand in front of her, as if to tell her not to keep her nerves so tight.

"So, um... Although this may be inappropriate for me, but..." Maka said seriously, "just face up to your inner thoughts. You don't have to choose to only make yourself miserable because you take into account the feelings of others."

Hermione was stunned when she heard the speech, and a moment of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but soon more firmness appeared.

"It's really... It's not up to you!" she pursed her mouth, and a little more ruddy on her pale lips, "but since you said so... Can I punish you, Marca?"

"Er..."

This time, Marca was a little stunned, but he followed and nodded.

The next second he nodded, a slap suddenly appeared in his vision and began to enlarge at a very fast speed. He leaned back almost reflexively and grabbed each other's wrist.

"Oh, sorry! My body moved involuntarily..."

Marca quickly loosened her hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Come on, you can do it again. I'll hold back this time."

But Hermione sitting opposite turned her mouth, hugged her chest with both hands and hummed softly.

"Forget it," she said slightly discontentedly, "compared with these, you'd better think about what to do next... Among Ron and Harry, I think Harry should have a problem, don't you think?"

Seeing Hermione talking about the subject, Marca put away her smile and put her thoughts on something more serious and important.

"Well, I think so, too."

"So... What happened to Harry? Why did he..."

Hermione certainly knew nothing about halber's resurrection. In fact, she knows little about the rumors about helbo. After all, she can't find much information in ordinary magic books.

"I've had some ideas about it," Marca said. "Just now I'm anxious to help you solve the problem. Harry hasn't had time to deal with it."

"That --" Hermione frowned slightly. "Where are they now?"

"It's outside," Maka said immediately. "Don't worry, the sound inside can't be heard outside, because the inside and outside of the room are not in a continuous space."

"Did you remind Ron?" Hermione couldn't help worrying.

But Maka just shook her head.

"I think it's probably the right choice not to remind Ron," he said, pausing again. "After a while, you pretend you can't get back to normal and lead Ron away from Harry. And I'm in charge of Luna..."

"No," Hermione interrupted immediately, "they don't need you to take care of them, especially Luna. Just leave it to me... That's it!"

With such a quick finish, she also deliberately stared at Maka for a few eyes, which meant it was self-evident.

Maka couldn't help laughing bitterly - come on, the persuasion just now made Hermione stronger than before.

"All right, all right!" he had to surrender. "Then my idea will be used as an alternative... Then I'll give the rest to me."

When the two of them finished their discussion in this room, Marka immediately stood up and walked to the door with Hermione.

……

"Click."

Hermione unscrewed the brass door handle. Then she opened the door and went straight out.

"Hermione, are you all right?" Ron was the first to see the door opened. As soon as Hermione came out, he hurried to this side, "well, it seems much better..."

While he was talking, Harry, who was not far away, immediately looked over and looked at Hermione in a hurry.

"Oh, I don't think I --"

Hermione first smiled at Ron and walked towards him. But when she crossed each other's shoulders and "happened" to see Luna coming, the smile that had become natural suddenly stiffened.

"No, don't come!"

At this time, Maka also appeared at the door of the response room. But he deliberately didn't look at Harry's direction, but his eyes fell between Luna and Hermione.

"Calm down, Hermione." he slowed down and said slowly, "it's okay, you can... You just bury the idea in your heart too deep. Only by facing it squarely can you get rid of its bondage..."

At this point, he turned to Luna and said, "don't worry, a little closer to Hermione can help her get rid of her troubles."

However, Luna only took one step forward, and Hermione ran to the other end of the corridor like a frightened rabbit.

Makaton winked at Ron, who was still in a daze.

"What are you waiting for? Chase!" he said, patting Luna on the shoulder. "Go too and try to get close to her slowly."

With that, he turned suddenly and waved his hand at Harry.

"Harry, you come with me!"
