Chapter 185: The Real Role of The Resurrection Stone

Alvin was stunned. He immediately thought of something and asked Arya next to him.

"What happened here recently?"

After a moment of hesitation, Arya said, "There has been a Death Eater living here, and about a week ago, because he killed a customer who came to Knockturn Alley, we solved it."

Arya is still a little ashamed to talk about this matter. After all, this is considered her negligence.

Alvin set a strategy for them long ago to ensure customers' safety in Knockturn Alley to attract more people to shop here.

The troublesome thing is that the personnel composition in Knockturn Alley is very chaotic, and some people who need to do business here for a long time to make a living are fine.

Like this Death Eater who was killed by Arya and the others just to avoid the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, living in anonymity here is very difficult to control.

Instead of questioning Arya, Alvin asked her to take him to the place where the customer died.

Sure enough, not far from where the man died, Alvin saw a silver-white phantom again.

He deliberately closed the surrounding of the Resurrection Stone so the phantom was not absorbed immediately.

Upon closer inspection, this phantom is somewhat similar to the ghosts of Hogwarts. Still, only a human figure can be seen blurred.

With a thought, he released the restraint of the Resurrection Stone, and the phantom was also absorbed.

"It's alright. Let's go back."

After speaking to Arya, Alvin took Arya's hand and Returned to the manor.

After that, he hurried to his laboratory.

Arya, who was left confused, stood where she was.

She didn't see any phantom just now, so she didn't know what Alvin had found.

At this time, she thought Alvin had come back in a hurry to investigate her fault.

Unexpectedly, he left without saying anything.

Inside the laboratory, Alvin rubbed the Resurrection Stone and probed into it.

The two phantoms that had just been absorbed immediately appeared in his perception.

Alvin was already 80% sure that this phantom was the Soul. Still, these phantoms were too vague, and he also left two points of other possibilities.

At this moment, two phantoms thirst for Alvin's magic power, instinctively wanting to absorb the magic power that came in.

Alvin tried to input more magic power. After the conversion of the Resurrection Stone, the magic power became a strange substance, slowly repairing the two souls.

"Is this what the Resurrection Stone really does? Repair the Soul?"

Muttering to himself, Alvin's eyes flashed with excitement.

With the addition of strange substances, they gradually condensed into shapes. The outlines appeared on their faces, but Alvin couldn't stand it anymore.

In just a few minutes, he has output nearly two hundred scales of magic power.

Alvin drank a few potions to speed up the magic power recovery. He waited until the magic power was full.

Alvin chose a soul to instill this time, and after repeating it several times, he finally succeeded.

The state of the Soul at this time is somewhat similar to the Voldemort that Alvin saw in his first year.

The restored Soul was released from the Resurrection Stone, and he soon woke up.

When the Soul saw Alvin, there was a surprise on his face.

He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something.

But there was no sound, only a wave of thought fluctuations passed into Alvin's mind.

"Save me! Someone is going to kill me!"

He also found that something was wrong, raised his hands, and looked at it. The Soul looked at Alvin in disbelief.

"You found out too? You should be dead."

Alvin spoke very calmly as if it were as simple as saying what have you eaten.

Dejectedly putting down his hands, this Soul recalled everything and accepted that he had died.

"Can you hear me?"

Alvin asked again, and Soul nodded.

"Tell me your name, answer some questions, and I can help you fulfill the last wish."

Alvin offered his own price and always liked to trade for equals.

Soon, there was another wave of fluctuations in that Soul.

"My name is Bruce, Bruce Alexander."

"What are you doing in Knockturn Alley?"

"I'm in the potion smuggling business. I heard that there are always high-quality potions for sale in Knockturn Alley. I plan to buy a batch and sell it to Croatia."

Alvin nodded and continued, "Can you describe in detail what happened after your death?"

Bruce hesitated for a long time as if thinking about how to express it.

Finally, when Alvin was a little impatient, he said it outright.

"I fell under the dark wizard's curse and finally died because of excessive bleeding. When I died, my perception was I leave my body, and simultaneously, two choices emerged subconsciously in my perception."

"Choice?" Alvin thought but did not interrupt Bruce's description.

"Go on, or stay."

"I don't know who gave the two options. Of course, I chose to stay. I didn't want to die, and my Soul stayed where it was."

"I watched others move my body, but my soul couldn't move."

"I thought I would become a ghost and stay in this world, but my soul has become weak with the passage of time."

"Gradually, many memories left my mind. I can't even remember my wife until just now. I got my lost memories back."

Alvin fell into deep thought after listening to Bruce's story.

The choice that Bruce just mentioned reminded Alvin of some things he had asked the ghost of Gryffindor.

He once asked to Nearly Headless Nick why he could stay on the world and become a ghost when very few people can do that.

"Wizards can leave their mark on the world so they can walk as ghosts where they have lived and walked."

"Few wizards choose this path because they are not afraid of death. They just remember other people in this world."

"Sometimes, I also regret choosing this path and becoming an existence that does not accept in the underworld and does not accept in the world. In fact, I don't belong to this side, and I don't belong to that side."

When he heard these words, Alvin didn't understand. That even if few people were not afraid of death, the number of ghosts would not be so rare.

As far as Alvin knows, less than a hundred ghosts are left in the whole of England.

But now, after listening to Bruce talk about everything that happened after his death, Alvin has a general understanding.
