There is no doubt that cheating in a race is an opportunistic and despicable act that undermines fairness, but if all competitors cheat, then it means that everyone is not cheating and is back to the starting line.

In fact, from the moment the ferocious dragons were transported to Hogwarts, the four students representing their respective schools had already learned through different channels what they were going to face next.

As a certain scholar once said, in the face of sufficient interests, the so-called "morality" is not worth mentioning at all.

What's even more interesting is that instead of condemning those who do anything for profit, most people will laugh at those who are willing to abandon their interests and choose morality, thinking that these people are stupid and inflexible idiots, and even nailing them to the pillar of shame in history and ridiculing them when they have nothing to do.

Enjoying this farce-like performance, Zhang Cheng was neither interested in participating in it, nor debunking Barty Crouch Jr.'s disguise, but turned his attention to delving into the power of creation.

After several live experiments, he has almost mastered a little vague law, and can even control the degree of mutation within a certain range, briefly bring inanimate objects to life, and gain a certain amount of thinking and consciousness.

Of course, this is not to say that life can be created out of thin air, it is just a simple simulation, and it is very difficult to create a real life until the mystery of the soul is solved.

Even if it has the artifact of independent thinking, the supreme authority, it is not technically animate, and although it is more intelligent than most intelligent beings, it lacks one of the most important things—the soul.

Fortunately!

Tearing Souls to Create Horcruxes provides a relatively simple idea, that is, since it is so difficult to create souls, why not directly extract ready-made souls from intelligent beings, and then erase the original memories and consciousness through tearing and fusion, and then compile and modify them according to their own will to form a new soul?

In order to confirm the feasibility of this idea, the laboratory hidden in the underground chamber of the castle was sealed for two weeks, and the interior echoed with terrible cries every day.

But for Zhang Cheng, this little interference is nothing at all.

Grim, he ignored the pain of the subjects, and simply tore the soul into countless parts again and again, then reintegrating the soul fragments before they dissipated.

After repeating it dozens or even hundreds of times, these originally conscious and sound souls will lose themselves and turn into a silvery white translucent liquid similar to spiritual matter.

Although it has lost more than a third of its quality, it is extremely pure, completely devoid of as many impurities as a normal human soul, like a white and clean canvas that can be freely painted in the colors that the creator likes.

"Perfect! This is what I want......" Zhang Cheng, who hadn't closed his eyes for half a month, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

But it didn't come without a price, and the row of corpses in the back, fixed to the wall and smelling faintly rancid, was the price paid for this brutal experiment.

Without any hesitation!

He directly injected these refined pure souls into a pre-prepared clone body, and then activated them with the power of creation.

In just a few seconds, the old man in front of him, who was exactly the same as Dumbledore, slowly opened his eyes, looked around with a slightly curious gaze, and only opened his mouth after a full ten minutes, and stammered, "I...... Who am ......I? Where am I, and who are you?"

"Your name is Leon Dumbledore, the twin brother of the greatest wizard in British wizarding and wizarding, and the stand-in for the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It doesn't matter where I am, what matters is that you learn how to fight with magic next. Zhang Cheng grinned maliciously.

That's right!

Create an evil twin of Dumbledore with your own hands!

He wants to use this guy to ruin Dumbledore's reputation, as long as the time is right, even if the other party has 10,000 mouths, he can't explain it clearly.

"Leon Dumbledore?" the clone looked at himself in the mirror, quickly nodding blankly. "Well, I'm Leon Dumbledore, brother of the greatest wizard in British wizarding and wizarding, and the stand-in for the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......"

"Dear Mr. Dumbledore, I'm going to instill some knowledge and memory into your brain, it might hurt a bit, you better be patient. As he spoke, a faint silver light appeared in Zhang Cheng's pupils, and then he raised his right hand and pressed it on the other party's forehead.

Moment!

The vast amount of knowledge and confusing false memories flooded the clone's brain, causing him to let out screams of pain.

"Ahhh!!!!!!hh

Soon, a piece of childhood stories, the love of his youth, and the troubles of adulthood slowly surfaced, coupled with the self-deception of the brain to make up for some unreasonable or blank places, he finally began to truly recognize his identity, and recognized himself as Albus Dumbledore's twin brother.

It's just that compared to the famous brother, he is just a little mouse living in the shadow of the other party, doing some shady things for the other party.

Suddenly, anger, unwillingness, jealousy, and the desire for freedom filled every sensitive nerve in him.

After about seven or eight minutes, the poor clone slowly stood up and asked with a gloomy face, "Tell me, what dirty work do my dear twin brother want me to do for him?"

"It's easy! here's a list to kill them all. Zhang Cheng quietly handed over a robe, a magic wand, and a piece of parchment with addresses and names written on them.

"Understood!" the clone said, picking up his things and putting on his robes, turning around and disappearing through the portal into the streets of London.

He didn't realize that he was just an insignificant pawn, and that the list was full of Ministry of Magic officials who refused to accept the bribe.

Whether the assassination is successful or not, it will completely sever the relationship between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, making them completely antagonistic.

At this point, Lucius would have come into contact with the assassin and he would have received a very different answer.

Of course, more importantly, through this test, we can figure out whether this soul-making technology is mature and whether there are any defects that Zhang Cheng is not aware of.

If not, then after he goes back, he will start to give artificial intelligence X a real independent consciousness and life, so that it will completely evolve from a special artificial intelligence between weak artificial intelligence and strong artificial intelligence into a mechanical life.

But before that, he still has a whole host of problems to solve, such as data transmission, the transformation of souls and machines, and the self-replication properties of digital life......
