Anton has extensive experience in affecting souls and magic by adjusting memories.
At first, the Forgetting Curse was used to modify the memory of 'Tom's Remains', making it extremely pure, thereby releasing the powerful 'Tickling Curse'. The effect was so good that even Dumbledore was affected by it. Chapter 182
Later, Anton gained more insights into the six elements of the soul and the black thread of the soul, and even found a better method than the Forgetting Curse.
If people's memories can be taken out of the head and stored in a pensieve, does that mean we can dress up these memories beautifully and stuff them back into the head again?
The answer is yes.
Anton conducted such an experiment on a dark wizard who planned to frame him, and the effect was great. Chapter 771
"This is actually an understanding of different levels of memory."
Anton happily told Dumbledore the difference, "The Forgetting Curse actually cannot change the memory at all, so it is difficult for people to notice that they have been cast on the Forgetting Curse."
Today Anton and Dumbledore came to Fudge and asked him to lead the way to Barty Crouch Jr. in the prison.
Scrimgeour from the Auror office was also here. He had obviously been informed of what the two wizard elders were planning to do and removed all the Aurors stationed around the cell.
"Huh?" Anton looked at the cell curiously, "I have lived here before, and I was detained in this cell before being imprisoned in Azkaban."
Speaking of this, he looked nostalgic, which made Fudge and Scrimgeour look weird.
Dumbledore ignored Anton's occasional nervous attacks and just looked at him curiously, "Can't the Forgetting Curse change the memory?"
This was obviously a very novel statement, and even Fudge and Scrimgeour looked over curiously.
"Yes"
Anton opened the door with ease and looked carefully at Barty Crouch Jr., who was bound by magic to a chair. One of his eyes turned into azure blue, surging with electric light, and his observing gaze seemed to be watching something.
A white mouse used in experiments.
"The Forgetting Curse affects the 'thinking' among the six elements of the soul." Anton raised his hand and gestured to his head, "Or what we often call 'mind', 'thoughts in the heart', etc., in fact
The Imperius Curse, Legilimency and other magics are also aimed at this level."
"The memories retrieved by our thinking have their own way of operating, and after changing our thinking, the memories we retrieve from the depths of memory change their shape."
"In fact, not only the 'Forgetting Spell' can change the 'memory in thinking', any aspect of the six elements of the soul that is affected will have a profound impact on this."
Seeing that they didn't understand, Anton thought for a while, "Let me give you an example. For example, if a wife misses her husband after his death, the past memories will become a little tender. But if the husband is active, active, or even cheating,
, those memories of the past will be filled with anger and suspicion.”
"Whether it's tenderness or jealousy and anger, it's all a distortion of memory."
"This is the relationship between thinking and memory."
"So the memory called up by changing the thinking is inconsistent with the 'reality'."
Anton slowly walked up to Barty Crouch Jr., grinned at the dark wizard who looked at him angrily, waved his wand and pointed it at his eyeballs, "Cereus!"
A magical light like plasma poured in from Little Barty's eyes.
Anton continued to explain his theory casually, "The memory retrieved in thinking is what we often think of as memory. I call it surface memory."
"The memories deep in the other party's mind that are observed through certain magical means are called inner memories. These memories exist deep in the soul, some have long been forgotten by us, and some with the passage of time and different emotions,
Changes in perception and so on are also undergoing changes to a certain extent.”
"It brews in time along with our emotions, will, experiences, etc., with the traces of time. This level of memory is what I call the 'memory' among the six elements of the soul. It is what we want to change now.
."
The snuff box flew out of the pocket of the wizard's robe, opened in mid-air, and a pensieve taken from Old Deng's office floated in front of little Barty.
Following the pull of the wand in Anton's hand, a ball of milky white light floated out of Little Barty's eyes and fell into the basin.
Anton brought the Pensieve to the table next to him and put it down, pointing at little Barty, "You see, his confused look now is the common symptom of 'amnesia' we have, and he can't remember anything.
"
"But if you look at people who have lost their memory, you will find that they carry with them certain patterns of behavior from the past."
"This is simply miraculous. Every baby does not have these at first. Only by constantly experiencing everything in life can the complex behaviors that can be developed still remain in them."
"At this time we will be surprised to find..."
Anton looked at the three of them with a guiding face, wanting them to give an answer, but unfortunately they didn't.
Dumbledore looked thoughtful, Fudge's face was filled with confusion, and Scrimgeour looked at him intensely, expecting him to answer.
Anton curled his lips and continued, "We will find that there are memories deep in their hearts, but no matter how we search, we can only find that their heads are empty."
"This is because 'deep memory' exists in higher dimensions."
"This kind of deep memory is the most real. It records all the observations of the world by intelligent beings, what they see with their eyes, touch with their skin, smell with their noses, hear with their ears, and all the information."
"And the dimension that stores our 'deep memory' or 'real memory' is called the 'river of time'."
"All observations of the world by all intelligent beings build this long river of time."
Anton took out a lot of potion ingredients from the snuff box and quickly prepared them. He continuously put the juice of certain plants or materials collected from magical animals into the crucible to brew the potion potion.
"Today's best way to peer into real memories is with a time-turner."
"But remember, although individual memory can hardly affect collective memory, collective memory can still be changed."
"There are many ways to collect history, cover up history, or even change history. This is another level of operation."
Anton waved the magic wand in his hand, causing the crucible to float in the air and be wrapped in a ball of flame. After a while, pink mist began to rise inside.
"Our current operation on Barty Crouch Jr. is aimed at the 'inner memory'. It does not need to affect the river of time, but it can skillfully use the power of the river of time."
"Let him be in a confusing illusion of inner memory and deep memory. To use our common words, it is sudden hysteria."
"The lack of clarity about self and misjudgment of his id caused his Animagus to be in a constant state of confusion."
"He will treat some actions that are not his reactions as natural. This deep-seated confusion touches the root."
"At this time, we can easily ride in. He will regard us as him."
The firelight disappeared, leaving only a shallow layer of bluish liquid in the crucible. There seemed to be countless translucent threads swimming inside, stirring the liquid and boiling.
Anton poured the potion into the pensieve, looked down at it for a moment, and looked at them excitedly, "Done!"
He snapped his fingers, and the milky white light group in the pensieve, which was slightly glowing with a layer of blue light, floated up again, drew a beautiful line in the air and disappeared into little Barty's eyes.
A sinister smile appeared on Little Barty's dazed face again, and he looked at the people in the prison with a sneer, "My master will come to save me! You will all die! You will all die!"
Anton ignored him and just looked at Dumbledore, Fudge and Scrimgeour, "The magic to be used at this time is the 'Twisted Prison'. It is a variant of the Cruciatus Curse, which can build or release the depths of the soul in our hearts."
space.”
"This was invented by Neville Longbottom. He explained his research to me and believed that this spell can not only cure the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse, but also has many effects. For example, it is deliberately forgotten by the self because it seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
Some of the memories can be retrieved using this magic."
"Twisted Prison!"
Anton waved his wand lightly.
Suddenly, several of them disappeared in front of little Barty.
"Why did Merlin's beard suddenly turn black!" Fudge screamed in horror and looked around. There was only darkness here, nothing, no light, shadow, and sound. It was so quiet that it made people's hearts tremble.
"Using 'Legilimency' to connect little Barty's 'thinking', we can observe the outside world through all his perceptions, if he does not deliberately use 'Occlumency'." Anton explained, seeing Fudge still
He was just fooling around over there and just kicked him out of the depths of Barty's heart again.
I'm afraid this guy doesn't know the magic of Legilimency.
"This method is somewhat dangerous for ordinary wizards, because we are highly connected to other people's thinking, and their thinking will continue to affect our thinking, just like the situation where black magic erodes the heart."
Anton explained some key points to Dumbledore and Scrimgeour in detail.
"Using the 'Ray of Sunshine Spell' is a good way, or simply relying on firm will can also be done, as long as we can always maintain firm belief, although it is not easy."
"Another point to note is that we must escape from the depths of the soul of the person we are possessing before he dies."
"Otherwise we will be completely imprisoned in the depths of our minds that rely on the radiation of the 'river of time'..."
"perhaps……"
Anton rubbed his chin and raised his eyebrows, "Probably the person we possessed was completely forgotten by time and disappeared into the long river of time. At that time, when we lose the carrying space, we will also die, or from the long river of time.
Creampie? I don’t know about that.”
"There are also ways to save it. It's a matter of time. Using a time converter is definitely a good idea."
"If we prepare a ritual, such as telling anyone that we will enter a closed place where no one can see anyone, or plan to hide our appearance and go on vacation somewhere, that is the most consistent idea of ritual magic. We use time
Converter rescue becomes much easier.”
"Those who are rescued from the long river of time will come out of that sealed and uninhabited place mentioned before."
"Of course, based on the magic theory of collective consciousness, it is best not to tell others that it is difficult to go to a certain place we are going to, otherwise others will be confused, and this disbelief will interfere with time."
Anton waved his wand again, "Twisted Prison!"
It was as if the folded space was unfolding again, and Anton, Dumbledore and Scrimgeour were ejected straight away.
In Fudge's eyes, it was as if his eyes were half-dazzled, and three figures appeared and popped up from behind Barty Jr.
"This method is too dangerous!" Scrimgeour gasped and looked at Anton in horror.
He was not very proficient in the magic of Legilimency, and there was no way to ensure that he was always connected to Barty's perception. Most of the time, he was immersed in endless darkness.
The soundless, lightless darkness eroded and devoured his heart at an extremely terrifying speed.
There is no worse feeling than this!
"Anton, what is the 'ray of sunshine' magic you just mentioned?" Scrimgeour felt that he needed to learn this, otherwise if he planned to lurk into the depths of Barty's soul and go to the Magical Congress of the United States to find out
If he gets the information, he will die deep in Barty's soul.
"Oh, I'm sorting out my manuscripts recently and plan to publish a book called "The Patronus Curse and the Three Unforgivable Curses. You can read it then."
When Anton and Scrimgeour were talking, Dumbledore looked at Anton with a complicated expression.
He had always known that Anton was deeply involved in the path of magic, but he never thought that he had reached such a depth.
This magic, which Anton calls the 'spiritual bus', seems evil, but it actually incorporates countless top-level knowledge of magic.
About the soul, about transfiguration, about time, about the mind, about the nature of magic...
Too many.
Dumbledore can clearly feel what Anton is doing - he is constantly integrating everything he is good at!
What kind of passionate love for magic can have such motivation to trek towards the unknown ahead without stopping, gradually getting further and further away?
Anton gradually caught up with him, Grindelwald, and Tom.
Little by little, I stand on the same peak as them.
Now we are leaving them behind little by little...
Everything is not rootless.
Dumbledore seemed to see a legend being created, rising slowly, so dazzlingly.
