Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Myrtle's memory is shocking, and what she describes is very reminiscent of Undine Adjani, except that there is one less knocker.

In order to prevent the mistake of being too pretentious, Mesa immediately added a few more questions. Although Myrtle's answers were a bit vague, it was basically possible to identify the crying girl as Adjani.

What exactly is the problem, and why are there such big discrepancies between the two statements?

According to Adjani, Myrtle was not in the girls' bathroom at the time and was alone.It was precisely because there was no one else that the perpetrators chose this location to launch their attack.

But according to Myrtle, she was in the girls' bathroom at the time, but no one else saw her.From Myrtle's perspective, there was no attack, only Adjani herself crying.

Chaos, chaos, chaos again, the truth of the campus attack becomes more confusing.

But the strange thing is that Mesa feels that there is only a thin veil between herself and the truth.Once the veil was lifted, Mesa was able to determine the true identity of the perpetrator.

After getting what he wanted, Mesa bid farewell to Myrtle at the right time.He behaves like a scumbag who always gives up. He is so ruthless that he refuses to admit his mistakes even if he puts on his pants.

However, the silly Myrtle has not yet realized Mesa's true face, and the milky-white ghost reluctantly bids her farewell.

When he was leaving, he even made a horrifying but affectionate suggestion: "When you come here next time, would you like to visit my cubicle, where my body was originally lying?"

Although this proposal was slightly scary, Mesa was not scared to run away, and he deceived Myrtle again.

If nothing else, Mesa will never come back to this girls' bathroom, and visiting Myrtle's cubicle will be "in my lifetime."

Walking on the road to the common room, Mesa and Lilia looked solemn. They were both struggling with whose words were more credible.

When the two turned a corner under the marble stairs and walked into the underground of the castle, Lilia finally couldn't help it anymore.It's hard to keep some words in your heart without saying them.

"I think Undine Adjani lied," Lilia said, "but why did she do this?"

After Adjani was discharged from the hospital, neither Mesa nor Lilia bothered her. Instead, she took the initiative to come over and told her about her strange experience in the girls' bathroom, and even made a very excessive request.

Since Adjani took the initiative in everything, why did she lie?If she needed Mesa's help, shouldn't she tell the truth?

"Is she worried that if she tells the truth, you will regard her as a lunatic?" Lilia continued, "But after she made that crazy request, it is difficult for us not to regard her as a lunatic."

After much thought, Lilia felt that there was no need for Adjani to lie.

I am a normal person, and it is difficult for normal people to understand what a madman does. Lilia can only comfort herself in this way.

"Is there a possibility that neither Adjani nor Myrtle is lying?" Mesa said, his frown finally showing signs of loosening.

Lilia asked in confusion: "What do you mean? If neither of them lied, then why is there such a big discrepancy?"

Judging whether Undine Adjani is lying or not is based on the difference brought by Myrtle's memories.If no one is lying, these differences should not exist, and the two people's statements should be similar.

Compared to the neurotic Adjani, Myrtle is obviously more trustworthy.It's not that Mesa's beauty trap worked, but that this matter had nothing to do with Myrtle, and she didn't need to deceive the two of them.

"What I mean is that Adjani did not lie." Mesa said, "but there is a problem with her memory. The man who appeared in the girls' bathroom may not exist at all. Remember, Adjani herself said it , she didn’t see the person knocking on the door.”

Lilia suddenly stopped. She grabbed Mesa's sleeve and said, "The more I think about this, the more evil I get! If there is something wrong with Adjani's memory, then why is she crying so hard? I I can’t figure it out.”

"The reason..." Mesa lowered her voice mysteriously, "I think it may be that Professor Binns's course was too hypnotic, and Adjani fell asleep when she was extremely sleepy."

In an instant, Lilia's eyes rolled to the sky.

Undina Adjani was already in sixth grade, which meant she was at least sixteen when the attack occurred.No, it’s not a matter of how old you are, it’s just that only babies can cry and make noises that are annoying!

Lilia slapped Mesa a few times in embarrassment, neither light nor hard, more like giving Mesa a back slap.After such a gag, the gloomy feeling that came up subsided unknowingly.

"Then was she stimulated by the attack, which caused confusion in her memory, or was it caused by the Imperius Curse, or was her memory directly modified?" Lilia put away her tricks and continued to ask.

There must be a reason for memory errors, and if you find this reason, you may find more clues to continue the investigation.

Collins Belinda, who only lives between the lines, was also attacked, but she never mentioned the attack to anyone.According to information provided by Penelo Crevat, Belinda lost that bad memory.

If placed in a Muggle society, Belinda would have suffered from psychogenic amnesia. She had lost her memory of the hours before and after the traumatic event.

In the magical world, in addition to amnesia, there is also the possibility that the memory has been modified (erased) by the perpetrator.

That's why Lilia had this suspicion, thinking that Adjani's memory might have been artificially modified.Various magics, such as the Oblivion Curse and the Soul-stealing Curse, can modify a person's memory.

Mesa also believed that Adjani's memory was modified, but he and Lilia had different ideas, or in other words, they were opposite.

"I agree with some of your points," Mesa said, "but I think the person who caused Adjani to have false memories was herself."

"You mean she modified her memory herself." Lilia found it difficult to accept this statement for a while, "But didn't Adjani say that Professor Dumbledore gave her some help?"

If Adjani's memory is messed up and there are signs of artificial modification (regardless of who modified it), didn't Dumbledore notice it?

Mesa smiled and said: "Maybe Dumbledore discovered it, maybe Dumbledore didn't notice it. Who can say for sure what's going on in the mind! Even a master of Legilimency can't see through everything."

Then, Mesa said something very unflattering. He said: "If Legilimency can really detect everything, then it is really a must-have skill for perverts. He doesn't need a sniper to know everyone's color. "

Although Lilia didn't know the meaning of "sniper", she thought of the "pervert" mentioned above and could tell that this was not serious talk.

As a result, the gangsters' exciting punches were once again staged in the underground corridor.

"Tell me, tell me what you are thinking," Lilia said. "I feel like if I continue to think like this, my brain will be burned out."

Lilia gave up, she didn't want to work hard.Two campus attacks and a large number of inexplicable clues that were difficult to distinguish between true and false made Lilia deeply suspect that she might not be very well-informed.

"The brain breaks down when you don't use it. It only gets better the more you use it," Mesa said.

Mesa had a startling idea, an idea that had no trace of evidence to support it, an idea that bordered on crazy.

"I suspect that Wendina Adjani is not one person, but two or more." Mesa said slowly, "That is, multiple personalities. Thanks to your reminder for this."

Lilia pointed at herself in confusion, and suddenly thought of the contrast between Adjani's before and after that night, and her reminder to Mesa.

"Multiple personalities..." Lilia repeated the word, "So is she really crazy? Is there something wrong with her brain?"

Mesa nodded and said: "This is my personal guess, and there is another bigger idea behind this guess. It's just that I still need evidence to support it, it's just empty talk."

"Uh...why do you look at me like that?"

Lilia's eyes were strange, and Mesa couldn't understand the meaning.

"I think what I said before is absolutely correct. You two are fellow patients." Lilia said quietly, "Both of you have brain problems, and the problems are huge!"
