"Snake whisper, you?" puzzled Dumbledore's azure eyes beneath his half-moon glasses.

"It's just a matter of studying to master an unknown language, and at the time I thought it was a Slytherin ability, how powerful did I think this language contained?" Ryan smiled as he stared into Dumbledore's eyes. "It turned out that the snake language had no special powers, just a simple alien language. I gave up on learning when I found out, but I learned some simple snake vocabulary in the process, so I'm just going to give it a try. ”

"It's better to try, at least than to do nothing. Dumbledore nodded, then let the other three leave first. "It's not like more people is better now, Voldemort is good at demagoguery, and I'm afraid that too many people here might have a negative effect. So now you'd better go downstairs. ”

Sirius nodded and led Kreacher downstairs, Hermione gave Ryan a worried look as she went downstairs. Ryan smiled back to reassure her.

"It's nice to be young, isn't it?" Dumbledore's voice came from behind him as everyone went downstairs. He had just placed the locket on a tattered cabinet and winked at Ryan. "Alright, let's get started. Do you need anything else to prepare?"

"I'm sorry, Professor, I need a prep. Ryan said as he took out eight silver spikes from his space bag and nailed them around the locket box in the cabinet, then used a red rope with runestones to wrap them around several times to connect them.

"Eastern means?" Dumbledore leaned in to look at the runes carved into the stone. "I can feel that this is for the soul. Well, we have to be cautious against Voldemort. After feeling Ryan's arrangement for a while, Deng Liduo nodded approvingly.

Ryan took a few steps back after setting up the circle, and Dumbledore stepped forward and stood on the edge of the cabinet, pulling out the Gryffindor dagger and aiming it at the locket in the center of the circle. The locket trembled slightly when it felt the dagger approaching it, but fortunately, the locket had not absorbed much human life and soul after being stored in the cabinet for more than ten years, and all it could do in the face of the threat was to tremble.

"This dangerous thing really needs to be destroyed as soon as possible. Dumbledore looked at the fluttering locket and whispered. After turning heads to Ryan to:

"Ryan, I'll count to three, and you'll use the Parseltongue to open the locket, and I'll use this dagger to deal a fatal blow to the soul of Voldemort hidden inside. ”

"Good. Ryan nodded in agreement.

"So. After Ryan pulled out his wand and posed, Dumbledore went into action. "One...... Two...... Three...... Ryan!" Dumbledore shouted as he pointed his dagger at the Horcrux.

After receiving Dumbledore's order, Ryan immediately hissed loudly at the locket in a parseltongue voice: "Open!"

The small gold lid of the locket popped open with a click. Behind each of the two small glass windows was a living eye blinking, black and bright, like Tom Riddle's eyeballs before they turned red and their pupils turned into a line.

A strange black mist emerged from the locket, and Ryan immediately felt a great deal of pressure coming from the magic array. The evil force to which this pressure belonged even partially broke through the defense of the magic array and leaked out.

"I see your heart, Albus Dumbledore. A voice hissed from the Horcrux, and Voldemort's defenses in the locket began to work. Although he couldn't manipulate the Slytherin artifact, he made the soul inside an offensive effect, attacking the most vulnerable side of the Horcrux's soul.

"You are an unfortunate man who longs for a happy and harmonious family but never gets it. Your best friend betrayed you and killed your sister. It also makes your only living relatives refuse to recognize you even if they are close to you. Now all you do is to atone for your sins, but you will never be able to protect what is most dear to you, Albus Dumbledore!"

From the two small windows of the locket, from the pair of eyes, a grotesque soap bubble-like thing emerged, and soon the thing rose from the locket and became the image of a young girl.

This man Ryan had never met, but he knew it was Ariana, Dumbledore's premature sister, and a scar on his heart forever. This was a big irritation for Dumbledore. Ryan could see tears streaming down his cheeks.

Oops, Ryan thought of this and suddenly urged the mana of his whole body to input into the magic circle, suppressing the power of the locket box in an instant. At the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue and shouted with the sound of wind and thunder from Lei Fa. "Professor, do it!"

With the soul inside the Horcrux weakened, Dumbledore was immediately freed from the effects of Voldemort's Horcrux. The sword flashed, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into the locket.

Ryan heard a metal clash, followed by a long scream that touched his soul. Ryan subconsciously unleashed a defensive spell, but the Horcrux didn't have the dying blow he imagined. The girl's apparition vanished, leaving Dumbledore standing there with his dagger in his hand, looking down at the locket.

Ryan's eyes also fell on the locket, and he found that the glass of the two small windows inside the locket had been punctured, the strange eyes were gone, and wisps of light smoke came out of the colorful silk lining of the locket. The remnant of Voldemort's soul that had been kept in the locket was gone. The oppressive feeling in the room dissipated with it??。

"Professor?" asked Ryan, a little worried, as he saw Professor Dumbledore standing motionless. Dumbledore wiped his face with his hand and straightened up.

"You heard it all. The headmaster asked in a deep voice.

"This—" Ryan didn't know what to say now, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about anything. Seeing that Ryan was a little nervous, Dumbledore comforted: "There is nothing in my past that cannot be known to others, the reason why you rarely hear about it can only be said that I am relatively old, and most of the people who know these things are gone." ”

After saying that, Dumbledore smiled bitterly: "Seriously, I was a little worried about you at first. Because I think you're very similar to me when I was younger, and you're crazy about all kinds of knowledge—"

For the next five or six minutes, Professor Dumbledore gave a rough account of the history he had gone astray in his youth. Finally, he looked into Ryan's eyes and said seriously: "You are better now than when I was younger, but I still hope that you must remember to pay attention to the people around you no matter what." Don't wait for a loss to regret it. ”

Ryan nodded seriously, he knew that this was the summary of the lessons of an old man's life. The reason why I told Ryan today is purely out of an elder's concern for the juniors, hoping that the juniors will not make the same mistakes as him.

"Well, I guess we've been here a little too long. Call Sirius and them now, or they'll be worried. After saying everything that had to be said, Dumbledore told Ryan to go downstairs and call the others up.

Ryan nodded and went downstairs to call someone.
