Chapter 54: New Mission: Finding the Hidden Horcruxes

Zhang Hao held the fangs of the basilisk and stabbed it the black notebook.

Black ink poured out of the notebook, like blood.

There was a faint wail around him, like a dying person who was tormented by illness, full of unwillingness.

It took a long time for these strange phenomena to slowly disappear.

Dumbledore's face was a little complicated, a very good student fell into the dark abyss, which was inseparable from his teaching back then.

When he was younger, he didn't think things as well as he does now, and in the process of teaching Tom Riddle, he didn't fulfill his responsibility to guide, but blindly guarded and monitored.

Young people can save if they make mistakes, but the indifference of those close to them will push them into a darker abyss.

Obviously, Dumbledore had understood this later, and what had happened had become a pimple in his heart.

"A Horcrux was destroyed like this?" he said in a trance, "we are one step closer to destroying Voldemort." ”

"Yes, Professor. Zhang Hao nodded and said, "The Horcruxes made by Voldemort when he was a student are indeed relatively easy to destroy. ”

This was a reminder that Dumbledore would soon wake up to the fact that there might be a few Horcruxes to find!

"Where will the rest of the Horcruxes be?" he muttered to himself, "where are we going to find them?"

"Where is the best place for Horcruxes?" Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Where is the most secret for Voldemort? We have to think from Voldemort's point of view, the most secret place for him must be very suitable for Horcruxes." ”

Dumbledore thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It seems that in the next few days, we will be busy again!"

......

After talking for a long time, Zhang Hao finally left the principal's office.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have changed someone's fate. But for a while, he couldn't think of anything.

"Hao! I heard that Dumbledore is looking for you?" Harry asked curiously, "What is he looking for you?"

The kid admired Dumbledore, but his dislike of conformism and his resistance to contact with professors meant that he always liked to collect information about Dumbledore from others.

"We destroyed this together, it's the secret of Voldemort's power. Zhang Hao took out the black notebook that had been destroyed, weighed the notebook and said, "You must not know what this is, right?"

Everyone nodded, but Draco's face was wrong.

"I know this notebook and have seen it at home. He said with a pale face: "Before school started, my father took this notebook and took me to the Blotte bookstore. I haven't seen it since, and I didn't expect it to appear at Hogwarts. ”

"Don't think too much about it, what your father did has nothing to do with you. Zhang Hao said in a low voice: "You just need to find your own position." ”

Everyone looked at Draco, they knew the seriousness of the matter, and if he didn't make the right choice, they risked losing a friend.

"But what is my position?" Draco said bitterly, "My father is going to do something bad, can I stop it?"

"You can persuade him!" Ron exclaimed, "You are his son, and he will definitely listen to you." Let him change his ways as soon as possible! Otherwise, next year, some of us will be used by him. I don't have to worry about him using Ginny, but it must not happen again. ”

Draco kept his head down and didn't speak, unsure if his father would heed the advice.

Zhang Hao smiled and comforted: "Something like Ginny probably won't happen again, after all, there aren't many things like notebooks." ”

The mood of the crowd was much better, and Harry asked curiously, "What the hell is this black notebook, and why can it cause so much damage?"

Everyone stared at the notebook curiously, obviously wondering about the question as well.

Zhang Hao thought about it for a while, and finally decided to give them a science popularization.

"It's a Horcrux, a Horcrux that belongs to Lord Voldemort. ”

Although everyone had heard that this notebook belonged to Voldemort, they were still a little shocked to hear it again.

But, what is a Horcrux?

Hermione said blankly, "I've never heard of the word Horcrux, and I haven't seen it in the library. What exactly is a Horcrux?"

"A Horcrux is an evil magical item. Zhang Hao patted Draco on the shoulder and said, "If you knew what a Horcrux is, I'm afraid you wouldn't worship Voldemort." ”

Most of the children of the pure-blood family worshipped Voldemort, and many did so even when he lost power.

Draco was one of them, and although he did a good job of concealing it, the fear in his eyes was mixed with some adoration every time someone mentioned Voldemort.

He always thought that no one knew, and he didn't know that everything had been seen through by Zhang Hao.

"What? this kid worships the mystery man?" Ron said angrily, "This is unforgivable, let's kill him!"

Draco glared at each other and didn't say a word.

"Don't do this, Ron!" Zhang Hao soothed: "It is human nature to worship the strong, believe me! As long as he knows why Voldemort is strong, he will lose interest in worshipping Voldemort." ”

"Horcrux-related?" Harry asked, "Horcrux makes him stronger?"

"Yes, Voldemort's strength is inseparable from his talent, but the main reason is that he used evil methods to create Horcruxes. Zhang Hao's face was heavy, and he explained word by word: "In the magical world of the Middle East and Egypt, there is a demon called the Lich. Their souls are held in special soul boxes, and only empty bodies move around in the human world. Most of the lichs were born by magic, and a small number of them were made by wizards who actively modified themselves in special ways in order to pursue immortality - there is no shortage of such wonders in the pursuit of immortality. The Horcruxes I'm talking about are similar to the Lich's Soul Crates, but they're infinitely more evil and cruel than them. ”

Zhang Hao is not just talking nonsense about the lich, he has collected information about the magic world of various countries, as well as various legends of gods and monsters.

The legend of the Lich has been passed down since ancient times, and he certainly does not ignore it.

"Hiding your soul in a soul box?" Hermione felt creepy as she crossed her arms and said, "And this weird magic?"

"Of course, there's more weird magic than that. Zhang Hao said solemnly: "Making Horcruxes is one of them, the Lich's soul box holds a complete soul, and the Horcrux holds soul fragments. The reason why Voldemort is so strong is because he split his own soul and used vicious means to plunder the magic of the sacrifice. In other words, if you are willing to use that evil means, you can also become stronger. ”

The friends looked at each other, this statement was too surprising to them.

"Can we become as strong as the Mysteries?" Draco subconsciously asked, "Is there no requirement to make a Horcrux?, or are there any side effects?"

If it had been before, he might not have thought about it so far-reaching.

Zhang Hao's influence on him is gradually taking effect.

"Requirements, or side effects, of course. Zhang Hao smiled: "Splitting the soul is a very dangerous behavior, and if you are not careful, you will become an idiot - even if you succeed, your IQ will drop." So to make a Horcrux, you have to be brave enough. Then, be prepared to bear the side effects. ”

After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Draco instantly lost interest in Horcruxes.

Zhang Hao has always laughed at his low IQ, if he sacrifices his few IQs to make Horcruxes, God knows how stupid he will be.

In that case, wouldn't he be played to death?

"You're saying that as long as Voldemort still has Horcruxes, he won't die?" Harry said with sudden joy, "So now that you have destroyed his Horcruxes, does that mean he can be completely killed?"

"It would be great if that were the case!" Ron said happily, "The mysterious man who can be killed, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Hermione and Daphne smiled, but Draco was still reeling from the loss of his collapsed faith.

Zhang Hao suspects that Regulus Black was the same as Draco when he knew Voldemort's secrets.

They are essentially the same kind of people, they are all the rich second generation of pure-blood families, they all worship the powerful people in the world, they love their families very much, and they all have contradictory bravery and cowardice in their personalities......

Perhaps because Draco was an only child, he was spoiled a little more thoroughly - perhaps the only difference between them.

Everyone was happy, and they seemed to think that Voldemort was dead.

Zhang Hao couldn't bear to pour cold water at this time, but if he didn't let them know the real situation, he might suffer a big loss in the future.

"Maybe you're rejoicing too soon!" he said in a regretful tone, "We don't know how many Horcruxes Voldemort made, so it's too early to say that Voldemort was defeated." ”

The smiles of the friends froze, this is really cold!

"What other Horcruxes does he have?" Harry said through gritted teeth, "We're going to find all the Horcruxes and destroy them one by one!

"Of course," Zhang Hao said with a smile, "This is our next task, and it's up to you to complete this task, Harry!"

"Rely on me?" Harry wondered, "Why rely on me? I think everyone can, right?"

The others were also puzzled, wasn't it just looking for something? Just looking for it, why did they say it was up to Harry?

Zhang Hao pointed to the scar on Harry's forehead and asked, "Remember last year, when you met Voldemort, the scar had a strong burning pain. ”

"Yes, that feeling hasn't been felt since Quirrell's death. Harry said as a matter of course, "That's just a warning, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Horcruxes." ”

"No!" Hermione retorted, "Perhaps your warning will only take effect if you see something related to the mysterious person." You've been in a lot of danger this year, but the scars haven't reacted, right?"

Harry thought back to the time when Quidditch was playing, and the Bludger had been chasing him, and the scar had not moved.

It's the same when encountering a basilisk, and the scar doesn't react at all.

His eyes became a little confused, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "I don't seem to know myself at all!"

"Hermione was right, you've always been in contact with Voldemort. Zhang Hao didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "When Voldemort killed you, the spell seemed to rebound, and some of his soul fragments fell on you. You are not born with a Parseltongue, but have inherited some of his magic. ”
