Chapter 195: Thrills from the Depths of the Soul

A house like this with a whole floor is really interesting; the living room is on the second floor, just like a self-built house in the countryside.

Several children sat around the living room chatting; they were all peers and knew each other, so they didn't talk with any restraint.

John, on the other hand, was like a curious baby, looking left and right.

Although this place was a bit dilapidated, to be honest, compared to the Titus house, this gave him more of a feeling of what a wizarding family should be like.

Of course, this was still because the decoration of the Titus house was too special.

"Ow!!"

Suddenly, a "Tom" cry was shouted from John's mouth.

Harry and the others, who were chatting, turned their heads one after another and found that John's finger was tightly clamped by a small silver box.

It wouldn't come off no matter how he shook it, he couldn't pry it open with one hand, and he even tried biting it directly.

Harry, Ron, and the others laughed out loud when they saw it, because they had also been bitten by that thing when they were cleaning up before.

Now seeing John get caught, they naturally couldn't help but gloat.

After a lot of tossing and turning, John still couldn't open it, so he had to look at Hermione helplessly and call out weakly.

"Hermione~"

"......"

Seeing this, Hermione covered her forehead helplessly, sighed, got up, and came over to help John pry open the "biting" box.

"I told you not to touch things randomly, but you wouldn't listen."

When Hermione put the silver box back in its place, she didn't forget to lecture John.

John scratched his head embarrassedly, but still smiled and said.

"It's all placed here, so at least it's not something dangerous..."

As he spoke, John curiously reached for a multi-angled silver object that looked like a clip.

As a result, the next second, the silver object seemed to come alive and crawled up John's arm!

"Yikes, WTF!!"

John was startled, hurriedly shook his hand, and threw the silver object away.

Plop.

The silver object fell directly to Harry's feet, and the next second.

"Ahhh!"

Seeing the silver object crawl directly into Harry's pant leg and up his leg, Harry, who was still laughing at John, jumped up and started breakdancing on the spot.

Ron laughed out loud again after seeing his good brother get caught.

As a result, not long after laughing, in Harry's wild kicking, the silver object was thrown out again and landed on Ron.

"Harry, haha, uh, ahhhhh!"

Ron was laughing when he was startled by the silver object, and he fell backward with his chair, scrambling to pull the silver object off, but the silver object crawled directly into Ron's clothes along his neckline.

Now it was Harry's turn to mock Ron.

The scene was once very chaotic, but inexplicably funny.

For example, the twins and Ginny had been laughing their heads off just now.

And John, the culprit, was trying to make a tactical retreat but was grabbed by the ear by Hermione.

"Hiss! I'll be good, I'll be good, Hermione..."

"I won't touch things randomly, really."

John cried out in pain and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Hermione then let go and poked John's head with annoyance.

(Am I really being good?. JPG)

Seeing Hermione walk away, John aimed at a locket in the very corner.

Hmm, that thing looked the most normal and definitely wouldn't cause any trouble.

John glanced at Hermione's back, then stealthily reached out and took the exquisite locket into his hand.

Hey, look, nothing happened.

As a result, the next second, he only felt a strong sense of dizziness and horror coming from the depths of his soul.

This feeling did not come from his own soul, but from the other soul within his body.

It seemed to be telling him to throw this locket away immediately!

Plop.

John subconsciously let go, and the locket hit the floor with a dull thud.

The exquisite silver frame didn't show even the slightest scratch.

And the screaming from the depths of his soul also came to an abrupt end in a lingering sense of relief.

Hermione, who hadn't walked far, heard the noise and sighed.

She knew without thinking that it must be John touching something he shouldn't have touched again.

"John, you again..."

She turned around to say something, but saw John standing there blankly, his expression very ugly.

Under his feet was that exquisite locket.

After discovering John's abnormality, Hermione was also startled and hurriedly came to John's side.

"John, what's wrong with you?"

She held John's pale face with one hand and grabbed John's hand, which was still hanging in the air, with the other, looking at him with full confusion and worry.

This call also attracted the attention of the others, who immediately stopped the commotion and looked at John.

"I, I'm fine."

John finally calmed down, looked at Hermione, and then looked at the locket under his feet with some suspicion.

He had just said that the things placed here were definitely not dangerous, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

In his view, this should be a dangerous item that would harm the soul.

Hermione followed John's gaze to the locket under his feet and bent down to pick it up.

"Wait, Hermione!"

John immediately reached out to stop Hermione, fearing that Hermione would be hurt by this locket.

He was safe and sound because of the protection of another soul; he was worried that if Hermione touched it, it would harm her own soul.

Because it was also Hermione's first day here, she didn't know what this was, so she obediently listened and didn't touch it.

But Ron and the others on the other side were confused.

Ginny walked over first, picked up the locket directly, and was completely fine.

John looked at Ginny in shock, and Hermione was also confused.

Ron also came over, looked at John, then looked at the locket, and picked it up.

Likewise, absolutely nothing happened.

"John, what's wrong with you?"

"This is the locket we found in a cabinet crack when we were cleaning up two days ago. Except for the fact that it won't open no matter what, there's nothing special about it."

Ron asked him strangely.

At this time, Harry also walked over. He looked at the locket and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, but it was very faint, so faint that even he didn't care or didn't notice.

Hearing this, John frowned. Could it be that he was hallucinating?

Thinking this, John reached out toward the locket in Ron's hand again.

Just a light touch of his fingertips.

The first second, no feeling.

The second second, still no feeling.

The third second, that sense of horror from the depths of his soul came again, and there was more of a "why is it here again" feeling than the first time.

John pulled his hand back abruptly, took two steps back, his brain buzzing.

Seeing John's strong reaction, Hermione immediately supported John, and Ron also hurriedly moved the locket back a bit.

"Th, this, what's going on? Could it be that this thing only harms you?"

Ron looked at the locket in his hand in surprise and asked suspiciously.

John naturally didn't know the specific reason.

But if there was any difference between him and them, it was probably that there was another soul in his body.

Because his own soul didn't feel any discomfort; all the discomfort came from the feedback of the other soul.

Therefore, rather than saying the locket was targeting him, it was better to say it was targeting the other soul in his body.

It was as if that soul had encountered some extremely terrifying existence. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
