From a psychological and physiological point of view, death is always the greatest fear of human beings.

A cold corpse, lying in front of you, will bring that fear ...... Maximize.

But the other party just chose to attack, but did not kill Filch, which is particularly strange.

Especially according to Hogwarts (A History):

"Slytherin built a secret room in the castle until his true heir came to the school.

Only the heir can open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school and rid it of all those who don't deserve to learn magic. ”

If the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets believed this, was Filch among those who were cleared?

Of course

Because he's a Squib!

More pure-blood discrimination than Muggle-born wizards.

Therefore, choosing Filch to start with is probably also a consideration.

But William didn't think that the attacker would attack the moment the demon in his heart fought against the angels, and finally the heart of the Virgin exploded, leaving Filch dead.

This is neither scientific nor magical.

"William, I'm glad you're keenly aware of this." Dumbledore said softly.

"When I analyze a person's behavior pattern, I first judge the other person's character and habits by what they have done...... Even IQ. ”

William nodded approvingly.

Different people think differently...... Geniuses are different from stupid people, and ordinary people are even more different from perverts.

Of course, if you want to judge accurately, you need to have enough experience and be familiar with all kinds of human nature, and you can easily substitute yourself into the role of being smart, stupid, reckless, cunning, perverted, or gay.

Dumbledore is always comfortable in role-playing, so he is very good at grasping people's hearts.

Knowing that Filch hated the castle getting dirty, the attackers stole Nick's rotting food and deliberately lured him.

I first thought the attacker was a very smart man. Dumbledore said.

That's right, being able to attack under Dumbledore's eyelids hasn't left the slightest evidence that IQ does.

Like Tywin and Quirrell, Dumbledore had already noticed that there was something wrong with them, but this time he didn't know anything.

"This is a clever attacker, and he deliberately left a message to remind us that the secret room is open.

He's confident.

I'm confident that even if we know, he will be able to attack successfully next time. ”

Dumbledore quickly analyzed two labels for the attacker.

"Such a clever and confident assailant, he's obviously a pureblood too, so why not kill Filch?"

William thought for a moment and guessed: "It can only be that he can't kill, or rather, it's not time to kill yet?" ”

"William, I'm leaning towards the second point." Dumbledore's gaze lingered on the window.

"A wizard who chooses to open the Chamber of Secrets, he will not be afraid to kill...... Since you don't kill, you have a reason not to kill.

A person does everything for a reason, and these reasons are all in the service of the ultimate goal. ”

William bowed his head and asked, "So what is his goal?" “

"I don't know yet." Dumbledore shook his head, "But we can be sure of one thing-"

"This won't be his last attack!" William said seriously.

"Yes, we can be sure of that!" Dumbledore's face was solemn.

"He will continue to carry out the next attack, for some of the same reasons, and will not kill the next attacked."

"But this attack will not last forever...... As we've just said, breeding fear isn't his real purpose, otherwise he'd just killed Filch.

All his actions are in the service of one goal, and I think there must have been a number of such attacks. ”

William pondered, "Is there any evidence to support this view?" ”

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and reminded softly:

"I think you noticed the bloody mark on Filch's right hand?"

"Horned camels?"

"Yes, judging from the outline of the pattern, it is indeed a horned camel."

The Horned Hump is a magical creature with a large, bulging back, and a grayish-purple skin stronger than that of a fire dragon.

The horned camel has two very sharp golden horns on its head, and its body is shaped like a saber-toothed tiger.

"Is he implying that we're sending horned camels? I remember that the horned camel was extinct. William said confusedly.

"It's not accurate to say that, Newt found the last pair of horned camels that were still fertile decades ago.

He personally bred the creature to save it from extinction.

I thought the other party was hinting at me, but after thinking about it, I thought that the horned camel was just a number. ”

"Two?" William raised an eyebrow.

In ancient scripts, the horned camel symbolizes the number two.

"That's right, I think he's telling us that Filch is the second person he attacked.

A smart and confident assailant, apparently a bit egotistical, he thinks no one knows what he's done and will be boring.

So remind me in this way. ”

"Who will be the first one?"

"Great question, but we don't know." Dumbledore sighed.

"Tricky is tricky here, and don't forget, Filch's chest injury healed quickly.

This shows that even if the first person is attacked, as long as he does not take the initiative to stand up, we have no way of knowing. ”

Dumbledore crossed his hands and continued, "You just asked me if I had any evidence, and this is the evidence. The other party left a number, indicating that he had already considered the number of attacks he was going to attack.

As for how many ......"

William blurted out, "Seven times? ”

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully. "Why do you think it's seven?"

“…… Seven is the most magical number...... Professor Victor had done a number divination for me before, and she said that danger could come seven times. ”

William soon recounted what he had found in arithmetic divination class.

After listening to this, Dumbledore said, "The divination class is much more troublesome than I thought, I have never taken this class myself, but I think Professor Victor is right. ”

"Merlin!" Portrait of Armando. Dippet exclaimed, "Seven times! Isn't it enough to attack a student? Actually want to attack...... Seven times ......"

The other principals were also talking about it, and they were particularly angry.

"It's an evil attack, but I think we still have a lot of time." Dumbledore said softly.

"Until the seventh person is attacked, everyone is safe for the time being."

"Harry?!" William said suddenly.

"That's right!" Dumbledore said appreciatively, "I think the attacker's target was Harry from the beginning, but he didn't want to kill Harry directly, but like a hunter, patiently playing with his prey." ”

William took a cold breath, he understood what Dumbledore meant.

It wasn't for nothing that the attackers controlled Filch to identify Harry.

In other words, all subsequent attackers will identify Harry.

What happens when all the students think Harry is the attacker?

Not to mention the campus violence, the seventh attack is likely to not have to be carried out by the person who opened the secret room, and he secretly instigated the students a little, and a mass attack will occur.

Stink you first, make you the only designated back-bearer, and then use public opinion to kill people?

Murder is still ...... Damn your heart!
