A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 38 Memory Segmentation
Imperius Curse!
Owen looked at the face hidden in the darkness, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his body, which was so tightly imprisoned, couldn't dodge decently at all.He had no choice but to instinctively sink his thoughts into the space facing the wall before the blankness and blur brought by the Imperius Curse invaded his whole body.

At this time, regardless of looking forward and backward, this is the only possible way he can think of to deal with the current predicament. Even in the worst case, at least part of his self-will can be preserved.Although he was carrying a few protection and counter-alchemy items given to him by his parents, none of them could resist the strange spell of the other party before, let alone the profound unforgivable curse such as the Imperius Curse.

Although it is possible for wizards to rely on their own will to resist the Imperius Curse, it is obviously impossible for Owen to pin his hopes on such illusory things. Once he is completely controlled, the consequences will be devastating.

Owen opened his eyes in the space facing the wall. The place is bright and quiet, and the tranquility is still there, with wisps of white mist lingering around.The psychedelic feeling brought by the Imperius Curse faded instantly, and his consciousness was extremely clear. It seemed that at least the most basic purpose had been achieved.

Quickly glanced at himself who fell into silence in reality, Owen's thinking was running fast, the more critical he was, the more calm and orderly he could be.

"The best situation is that I can pretend to be controlled by the Imperius Curse, but this requires a lot of luck... My luck doesn't seem to be very good? Let's not think about this..."

"The way to resist seems to be blocked, unless Hagrid or some professor suddenly appears and takes me away..."

"Wait, Voldemort chose to cast the Imperius Curse on me instead of the Killing Curse, which means that he doesn't want to kill people at the moment. That's right, after all, the Sorcerer's Stone is close at hand, and the death of a student will make Dumbledore's vigilance Unprecedented improvement, he is afraid that the situation will get out of control, so he will throw a mouse trick!"

"Choosing to use the Imperius Curse instead of the Oblivion Curse shows that he wants to use me. There are things in me that are worth using for him!" There are just a few possibilities, and Owen has already guessed the general idea.

"Then we can negotiate, at least we can stabilize him!" Owen quickly calculated his bargaining chip.As he had said to Harry, there was no shame in playing it safe, it was a wise choice.In fact, if it weren't for Voldemort's brain being broken, treating his subordinates as slaves, and the ending of the plot being defeated, Owen would not mind standing by his side before growing up. After all, the world of adults is never black and white.

"Thinking about it this way, this camp is really useless, no wonder no one took him to play in the fan novels I read in the previous life..." Owen slapped his head, restraining his wild thoughts.

"Then, I have to prepare quickly, and I don't know if I will fall into the control of the Imperius Curse instantly after leaving the wall-facing space." He muttered in a low voice, and at the same time quickly copied another self in front of him.

"I didn't expect to use this method so soon." He thought helplessly.

Face to face with the dull-eyed replica, Owen quickly stuffed the wand in his hand on the opponent, and then roughly operated Occlumency to manipulate his memory to cut it.

The low level of Occlumency can't resist Voldemort's prying, but it is still possible to cut off part of the memory by turning it into a sharp knife against oneself, but in reality no one dares to do such a crazy thing.However, Owen naturally has no scruples in the space facing the wall.

Enduring the severe pain of his mind being cut in half, Owen separated his previous life experience and the memory of the plot from the memory of this life, and added a part of the memory of the space facing the wall.He stared at the clone's eyes firmly, suppressing the divided memories, his thoughts were like being caught in a whirling kaleidoscope, and he came to the clone in an instant.

Owen clutched his painful head and looked up at "myself" in front of him.After his thinking left, this "self" fell into silence and sluggishness. Perhaps it was the limitation of thinking or soul, and the other party did not have independent consciousness. This is really good news.

Blinking his eyes, Owen didn't know what memory he had lost, but he vaguely knew what he was doing, and he didn't want to delve into it.

Taking a deep look at "myself", Owen closed his eyes and returned to reality in an instant.

Although he experienced a thought storm in his brain, his series of analyzes and actions only took a short moment. When he regained his vision, the figure in front of him was still holding a wand in his hand.

With the lightning flashing again, Owen clearly saw the mixed expression of surprise and doubt on the other party's face, as well as a deep desire to explore, as if he wanted to cut open his head and study it.

It is a good thing that he was not directly controlled by the Imperius Curse, but Professor Quirrell obviously realized that his Imperius Curse had failed, which was another crisis.

Owen sighed slightly in his heart, clutching the kitten Lizi who was struggling in the robe on his chest, and suggested innocently: "Professor, why don't you try to recite it again? Spells, there are always mistakes ..."

The person opposite squinted his eyes and played with the wand in his hand, apparently not thinking that his spell would fail.

"How can you resist my Imperius Curse?" He said softly, with a wonderful hiss, not loud, but extremely penetrating in this rainstorm.That's right, he is very weak now, but he is by no means so weak that even a little wizard can't control it, although the little wizard in front of him has magic power no less than that of an adult wizard.

He waved his wand slightly, and there was a little green light in the surrounding environment, reflecting the faces of the two people mysteriously and deeply.Then, he stretched out his left hand, and the wand in Owen's hand flew into his hand involuntarily.

"If I said that my father read me an ancient spell passed down from generation to generation by the Shafiq family before I entered school, would you believe it?" Facing the other party's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Owen said bravely .

Why is this Professor Quirrell completely different from the one at the beginning?No, even the one at the beginning is not the same as the one who stutters in the usual time!Also, why would he take unicorn blood?Is it true that he is a vampire, as the other students guessed, and he wants to taste the taste of unicorn blood for a while?
"Could it be ghost possession, or multiple personalities?" Owen had a headache, why would Hogwarts let such a dangerous lunatic be a professor!

After dividing his memory of the plot, Owen can only make up his own brain based on limited information.Fortunately, the behavior habits and ways of thinking developed in the past and present lives will not be changed because of this.

Looking into Owen's eyes, "Qiro" had a half-smile expression on his face, apparently not believing what Owen said at all.

"Well, my way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people. I can close my mind before being controlled." Realizing that playing tricks is not feasible, Owen chose to "tell the truth."In fact, this is what he now believes to be the truth.

"This is my innate talent, just like the natural Legitiminator, I am a person who is born to know how to close the brain, but it is more powerful. To be honest, it can work against the Imperius Curse , I didn’t expect it.” Owen glanced around and found that the restraints on his body had been lifted a lot, and he slowly stood up from the mud tentatively.

"Qiluo" did not stop Owen's movements, and his cold but sharp eyes narrowed slowly.talent?Some wizards do have all kinds of magical talents, some are very special and rare, and it is understandable that such talents exist. It is an area that is difficult for even the most knowledgeable wizard to study deeply.

"That's why you practice Occlumency?" He looked down at Owen.

"Yes, I think learning Occlumency will allow me to better control this talent." Owen nodded. "You know, natural talent is always difficult to control precisely."

"Professor, you see, the water-proof spell on my body has failed, can you recite one for me?" Owen pointed to the mud all over his body with a smile, and said with some difficulty breathing in the heavy rain.

"Also, the Imperius Curse is one of the Unforgivable Curses. Once it is used on humans, it will be imprisoned in Azkaban for life." He reminded him kindly.

Owen knew that no matter what, he could not let himself lose all the dominance.And to grasp a certain degree of initiative, we must subtly guide from the topic!
