Chapter 513 The Future No Longer Spins
Ahead was the rotunda, and the half-open wooden door looked as if a "Silent One" had just come out of it.
Hermione had no time to consider whether there was any danger inside; at least for now, she had to go in first.
The spacetime collapse behind them was relentlessly pursuing them, creating a powerful sense of pressure.
She pulled Adam along, following the green line in the projection, flying two meters close to the ceiling before plunging towards the ground, stopping abruptly just before impact.
"Break down the wooden door! There's no spacetime anomaly there!" the mechanical boy suddenly spoke.
Hermione flipped her wrist and squeezed the wooden door into a tight ball.
The interior was now revealed, allowing him to continue his analysis.
Adam seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, and his computing power seemed to have been freed up.
"The gravity readings in the lobby are perfectly normal! The situation inside is safe and stable!"
Although I don't know why, this is obviously good news.
Hermione was finally relieved of her tension. She accelerated with the robot and rushed into the room.
"Wait, what if the Honkai energy spreads in from here?"
Watching the runes outside the door disintegrate and dissipate one by one, and the chaotic storms gradually engulfing the path she had come from, she asked with some unease.
Adam, meanwhile, had already begun to scan the rather strange circular hall with its twelve doors with his eyes.
"This place is like the eye of a hurricane; the disturbances outside don't seem to affect it."
This simple explanation at least made Hermione understand that this might be the only safe zone.
"According to the information, the circular room will start rotating after all the doors are closed, and we've already destroyed one of them, so it shouldn't be moving now, right?"
Apart from the one behind her, Hermione looked at the other passageways and exits, which were exactly the same and almost indistinguishable.
Only then did she realize that, apart from the one she had broken, many other wooden doors had also been opened or damaged, and the hall would not rotate even if they did nothing.
These doors connect to rooms such as the Brain Hall, Death Hall, Time Hall, Prophecy Hall, Planet Hall, the Permanently Locked Room, and the Office of the Silent One.
The Department of Mysteries was established even earlier than the Ministry of Magic. It was the highest-secret department directly under the jurisdiction of the Wizarding Council during the Wizarding Council era.
Those uninvited intruders will be stumped in the Rotunda.
"Motion is relative. We don't feel the room spinning, perhaps not because it's actually still," Adam said, not optimistically.
"If the previous speculation about the eye of the hurricane is correct, it means that, on a spacetime level, this hall is still rotating, to the point that it is generating quite powerful and unusual spacetime phenomena around it."
Hermione also became serious. Adam's deduction made a lot of sense. The stability here at this moment most likely foreshadowed chaos in the other rooms.
An unknown white light still filled the entire space, making it appear quite bright.
"We need to go to the Time Hall, but the information doesn't mention which door leads there, and it's impossible for a wizard from fifty years ago to have written these things in the book."
"It seems we'll have to try them one by one, but at least we can take a look at these ones that have already been opened and damaged from the outside."
The two walked to the first door that was pushed open wide and peered inside.
"Oh, it's the Brain Hall!"
A table and a huge glass water tank that looked like a swimming pool—the furnishings were quite striking. However, one wall in the room had vanished into thin air, leaving only a few remnants connecting to the brightly lit next room.
The water tank was empty, containing neither water nor brain. It seemed that the brain-like creatures, having broken free of their restraints, had pushed open the door and flown to the upper floors.
The two then turned to another door next to it, which had been violently blown open. As they cautiously peered inside from the edge of the rubble, they discovered that all the furnishings inside were gone, as if a tremendous force had ripped away the entire room. From here, they could see the ceiling of the reception hall above, and the courtroom on the floor below, but it was pitch black there, as no light from upstairs penetrated down.
This is also the room next to the brain hall, from which you can see the empty water tank across the way.
"It's the Hall of Death," Hermione whispered.
This entire room was probably dug up by Lucius, and it was precisely because of his brutal actions that the other rooms were leaked.
"And the other side?" Adam pointed to the left side of the Death Hall room.
Not only was the wall connecting to the brain hall removed, but the walls of the room on the left were also gone.
"I think it's that room that's always locked." Hermione concluded after just one glance at the door.
There was still a strong magical power remaining on it, firmly sealing the door. Even she or Grindelwald would probably have to put in some effort to break it.
Through the hollowed-out death hall, the two could see directly into the locked room, which was empty, as if it were just an abandoned house.
"There's no further description in the documents. Do you know what's in this room?" Adam asked.
Hermione shook her head somewhat uncertainly: "Dumbledore—he mentioned it to me in casual conversation, only vaguely saying that it contained the greatest and most terrible power," but I don't know what he meant.
Adam shrugged. "That sounds ominous. Lucius Malfoy's destructive violence has unleashed 'the greatest and most terrifying power,' and I suspect that's the source of the powerful dark magic you mentioned."
Hermione nodded in agreement; those brain jellyfish might have mutated because of this.
"At least we've easily eliminated four doors now, which significantly reduces our options."
But luck didn't seem to be on their side.
Hermione pushed open three more doors, which led to an elevator, the Silent One's office, and the Planetarium.
The simulated celestial bodies in the Planetarium inexplicably possessed a terrifying gravitational pull, but thankfully the witch reacted quickly and closed the door.
The elevator shaft turned into a dark void that seemed to stretch endlessly. Standing at the doorway, the two of them felt as if they were standing on the edge of the universe, gazing inward through the door frame.
Hermione saw many red phone booths floating among them, falling in different directions, and she guessed that the plane she had just been in was doing the same.
There were not only red phone booths, but also blue ones, and there were even figures inside, but Hermione, for safety reasons, did not plan to go over and say hello.
The office of the Silenced Man is completely safe, but it looks cramped and oppressive.
"Do we really have to push open the last door to get to the Time Chamber?" Hermione complained irritably, as if this whole thing was straight out of a silly adventure novel.
She used gravity magic to push open another door, but unfortunately, it wasn't the Time Hall again.
The white light seemed to have avoided this large, deep room, which was dark yet tinged with a faint glow.
The towering scaffold stretched as far as the eye could see, covered with thousands upon thousands of hazy, indistinct shapes.
"It seems to be the Hall of Prophecy, where countless prophecies made by prophets since the time of the Wizarding Council are preserved."
Hermione hesitated; she wanted to go in and take a look.
The prophecy Grindelwald made for her still lingered in her heart, causing her to think about it from time to time.
As an hindsight observer, she also wanted to see the prophecies of the other prophets.
"Are the gravity readings inside normal?" she asked Adam.
