Harry stared at the artificial man's soul. As the artificial man became aware of the concept of "self", this colorless "field" gradually became more active, revealing a vigorous sense of life when observed by the naked eye, like a strong noon. The heat wave rising above the campfire in the sun.

He closed his eyes and tried to sense with his wand.

The artificial human soul imitated Harry's appearance, but it soon realized that it was not Harry Potter, so the image faded away like dust washed by rain. It returned to the appearance of a cloud of mist, and inside the mist there were still many short thin lines in the form of "mayflies", and they were multiplying rapidly.

"What do you see?"

"Lots of short strings."

"Don't be disturbed by the string of thoughts, go deep into the soul."

It was only then that Harry realized that these short lines floating in the soul were called "thought strings." He wasn't sure if he had heard this term before, or it might have been de Lin's own creation.

"What are thought strings?"

"The reflection of brain activity in the soul is also the carrier of magic power. Thinking strings are the projections of memories and thoughts, and each string represents a thinking activity, a bundle of nerve impulses. They are like the flesh and blood of the soul, and the thinking strings of young people are full of abundance But fresh, the thinking strings of the old are dry and weak, the thinking strings of the wise are large and quick, and the thinking strings of the fool are sparse and dull.”

Harry found the idea amusing, and he wondered what his own mind strings looked like. It should be young, but I don't know whether to be a wise man or a fool.

But he still hasn't forgotten the business, trying to go deep into the soul. This feeling is very strange. Harry didn't feel that he was advancing or retreating. He only felt that he was "diving". The density of thinking strings in the magic field of vision was increasing. a "core".

But Harry saw nothing.

"Mr. de Lin..."

"Wait a minute. Well, pay attention to the state of these thought strings. The topology of the conscious body has been formed."

Harry observed the thought strings carefully, and found that when they crossed a certain limit, they would immediately become lifeless. This limit is a sphere in the soul, and all the thought strings that enter the limit seem to lose their activity, just sliding along the inertia, After leaving the boundary range, it will become active again.

"It seems that there is an invisible spherical space."

"This is the consciousness body, you can go deeper."

With a certain fear and prudence, Harry crossed the boundary of the edge of the conscious body. Here, he felt a heavy pressure, his vision was constricted, blurred, and it was difficult to move forward.

"Sir, I don't feel well."

"This is affected by the pressure. Don't worry, continue to dive."

"clear."

"Now, can you see it? The 'self' at the core of the conscious body."

"Yes, a dark star. It's attracting thought strings." Harry felt an innate fear of this celestial body of souls, which was as empty as a black hole. "It's a scary thing."

"That's the monster called 'I.'

Harry couldn't help staring into the black hole of his soul. The soul structure called "self" seems to be the brightest gem in the universe, and anyone who sees it will be fascinated.

"Wake up." De Lin's voice came from the distant horizon.

Harry shivered, and finally opened his eyes.

"I feel as if I'm drowning. I'm sorry Mr. de Lin, I didn't mean to."

Linde waited for Harry to calm down a little, and he began to talk about his theory of the soul.

"Just now you have seen the two-layer structure of the soul. The memory is the most primitive and fundamental soul structure, and the soul that loses the memory becomes another person. Voldemort's method of making Horcruxes is to tear part of the memory, Stored in other things. Doing so does grant immortality, but it also does irreparable damage to the soul.

"Human babies begin to remember things when they are four or five years old. At this time, they have formed a conscious body, and the emergence of 'self-awareness' is even later. During the six to eight-year-old period, self-awareness will gradually become clear."

Harry thought of Linde's theory of magic power development, "Self-awareness affects the development of magic power, doesn't it?"

"That's right, the wizard's thinking string is the carrier of magic power. You have also seen what kind of void monster 'self-awareness' is. Once it appears in the conscious body, the thinking string will be restricted to the surface of 'self-consciousness'. When the carrier of magic is reduced, spillover occurs. The birth of a squib is often a premature tragedy."

Harry nodded, "What if there are a lot of thinking strings?"

"The more thinking strings, the stronger the 'self-awareness'. This is a tug-of-war. So the sooner the magic riot occurs, the better the advantage."

"Have the thought strings absorbed by 'self-awareness' just disappeared?"

"No, it doesn't, 'self-awareness' is not always there. For example, when you dream, there is no self-consciousness. At this time, those attracted thought strings will be released again into the conscious body, and even the memory .”

"Why does self-awareness disappear? Isn't that equivalent to death?"

"Self-awareness is not equal to consciousness, let alone life. Descartes has a saying called I think, therefore I am. Many people understand that because I can think, I exist, but in fact, it is because of my thinking that leads to The existence of 'I'. You need to clarify the causal relationship to understand this sentence."

Harry was thoughtful, and what he was thinking was: If Hermione was here, maybe she would understand.

Linde was a little helpless. Explaining theories to children has never been a job that makes people feel comfortable. When he was a teacher in the past, he was often enraged by students and had brain congestion.

"You just need to know that the source of the soul is the memory body, and the function of the soul is the consciousness body."

"What is another layer of structure?"

"The final soul structure is called the 'thought body'. It may even appear earlier than the memory body. Because it represents the 'name', which represents yourself and others' 'missing' of the name. The thought body is The weirdest, most wonderful, and deepest field in the soul structure. Time will destroy the memory body and the consciousness body, but the thought body can always exist through people's memory."

After Harry understood these words, many questions were answered at once, and many more questions arose. Now he vaguely understood why everyone called Voldemort the "mysterious man". It turned out that the name really had magical powers.

Linde smiled and said: "The thought body can make people become gods, but the conditions are very strict. Magic curses are usually applied to the thought body. In addition, powerful wizards can resurrect the dead through the thought body. It is a pity that due to the lack of the original The memory body and the split consciousness body are completely different, and the resurrected person is not the one that really existed in history."

These words about resurrecting the dead made Harry's heart suddenly filled with endless longing, which was then buried by despair. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but in the end he said nothing.

Linde stared at the thin artificial human in his hand, "Give this little thing a name. Let you observe the structure of the thought body, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it."

Harry stared at the pale, smooth skin of the android and said, "Egg."

When he uttered this name, a layer of "shell", or "armor" or "skin" was quickly attached to the surface of the artificial human's soul. Visible to the naked eye, the soul body has a vague shape and color. If it is clearer, it will be very similar to a ghost.

So far, the three-layer structure of the soul has been revealed, and the teaching is completed, and this one-time teaching aid can be scrapped.

Linde pulled out the soul of the man-made man and stuffed it into the soul stone, and the soulless body quickly turned into a mass of wet ash.

Looking at this scene, Harry shivered unconsciously, but the strange thing was that he wasn't scared, nor could he be called excited, but just had a weird longing and a heavy numbness.
