Chapter 409 Memory Curse and Soul-Stealing Curse
Behind the study in the apartment, there is actually a special little secret room.
At this moment, in the very center of the secret room, there was a long desk.
On the desk, five unattended pens were automatically writing something.
These were the five automatic pens that Li Qin had previously crafted.
When Li Qin was renovating the apartment, he thought of placing these five automatic writing pens in the apartment.
However, this thing cannot be seen by people, so Li Qin specially used a magic spell to open this secret room.
In this way, these five pens can continuously replicate some things from Li Qin's memory within this secret room.
Nowadays, most of the three great classic books and novels have been reproduced.
At the speed of the mechanical pen, it should be finished in about two more days.
Li Qin was reading in his study when time slowly passed.
Before we knew it, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Li Qin then put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up from the chair.
After sitting in the chair for a long time, Li Qin felt his body was a little stiff, so he subconsciously stretched and moved his body.
Seeing that Li Qin moved, the two pet dogs that had been lying on the ground immediately got up and came to Li Qin's side.
Upon seeing this, a faint smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's face.
However, he was going out to do some business and naturally couldn't bring his two pets with him, so he said to them:
"I have to go out later. You guys have fun on your own. Go and rest when you're tired."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu and Bai Xue first ran around Li Qin twice before very sensibly leaving.
Li Qin didn't care whether the two pets played in the apartment or went back to rest.
Anyway, given their intelligence, they'll definitely be fine.
Li Qin left the study and went to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
Tonight, Li Qin does not plan to visit those kind-hearted people, but instead plans to visit the senior executives of Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po.
This is related to the publication of the reproduced novel, in other words, it is related to Li Qin's collection of emotional power.
Naturally, it has a higher priority than collecting money and gold.
Now, Li Qin is quite adept at visiting people; in fact, he can be said to be very skilled at it.
What spell should be used to seal off the environment? What spell should be used to deal with the guards? And what spell should be used to guard against unexpected events...?
He was very experienced in all of this.
This time, however, his goal was not to obtain anything material from the targets, but rather to interfere with and influence their memories.
Of course, Li Qin also knew that human memory is continuous.
Although he possessed amazing magic, if he made too many changes, people would notice something amiss.
Therefore, when Li Qin used memory spells before, he mostly only blurred the memory of the target.
Or perhaps we could make some modifications as a matter of convenience.
There will absolutely be no extensive modification to the self-defined memory.
It was precisely because of Li Qin's cautious approach that none of the people he had visited had noticed anything unusual until now.
Even though they sensed something was wrong, they never considered the possibility that their memory was faulty.
Li Qin's intention this time was also merely to make very minor alterations to the memories of the two newspapers' top executives.
At most, he would simply replace his own image with the images of certain people in these people's memories, thus enabling him to establish contact with these high-ranking officials on their behalf.
In this way, he could easily achieve his goal of publishing his novel through these two newspapers.
Because of the importance of the matter, Li Qin was more careful and cautious than before when carrying out this operation.
Of course, it is also more concealed.
Fortunately, Li Qin seemed to be lucky. Although there were quite a few people visiting, there were no unexpected incidents.
Several hours later, Li Qin finally finished his work and returned to his apartment.
"Now I understand why, even though both involve controlling people, the people in the wizarding world love the Imperius Curse so much, but don't value the Memory Curse as much."
Back in his apartment, Li Qin quickly tidied up and collapsed onto the bed.
His eyes were filled with exhaustion.
In the wizarding world, when it comes to controlling other people, the first thing that comes to mind is the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.
However, few people pay attention to memory spells, which can achieve the same goal and are even more subtle.
Li Qin had some doubts before.
After he had just made changes and interference to the memories of nearly twenty people, he had some ideas in mind.
Although using memory spells is more covert, it is also more difficult and requires a higher level of precision.
Using a memory spell to modify someone's memories is like performing an extremely difficult surgery.
Leaving aside the consumption of magic power, the mental consumption is the key issue.
The pressure of being highly focused and unable to make any mistakes can make people more mentally exhausted.
Furthermore, the method of manipulating people by modifying their memories using memory spells is indirect and cannot guarantee 100% success.
That most direct example;
If Li Qin were to use a memory spell to alter the target's memories, he could transform himself into the person the target respected, trusted, or even believed in most.
After altering the memory, Li Qinruo intended to make the target commit suicide.
There is still a high probability that the target will resist.
However, this wouldn't happen if the Soul-Stealing Curse was used.
Once controlled by the Soul-Stealing Curse, the target will not hesitate to kill their own family and friends, let alone commit suicide.
Moreover, compared to the cumbersome use of the Memory Charm, the Soul-Stealing Charm is much simpler and more direct.
As long as the spell hits the target, it's fine.
The key point is that the Soul-Stealing Curse is impossible to defend against, while the Memory Curse has many ways to resist it.
This is why memory charms are not valued in the wizarding world.
But that was in the wizarding world; Li Qin is not in the wizarding world now.
Therefore, although memory spells have many inconveniences, they can be more powerful in certain situations.
However, if the memory spell is used on many targets at once, it can put a lot of pressure on the user.
"Although I'm a bit tired, I've gained a lot, and there shouldn't be any problems with publishing the novel."
Lying in bed, Li Qin's eyes were tired, but a smile appeared on his face.
Just before that, he had visited the leadership of both newspapers.
From the boss to the editorial department...:
In short, Li Qin visited everyone he could think of who could influence the publication of his novel.
Today, Li Qin has become a part of these people's memories, and even a very important one.
That way, he can contact these people tomorrow and finalize the publication of the novel.
Thinking of this, a look of anticipation flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He was really eager to see how much attention his copied novels would attract when they were published in the newspapers.
How much emotional power can one gain?
