At the long table in the restaurant, everyone in the Phoenix Society, who had finished lunch, looked at Zhang Xu who was standing up, waiting for him to start performing.

"I have one bad news and one worse news, which do you want to hear first?" Zhang Xu said to the people of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Ahem......" Professor McGonagall, who rarely attends the meetings of the Order of the Phoenix, reminded Zhang not to kill himself.

With Professor McGonagall's reminder, Zhang Xu didn't die.

These two messages are causal. The bad news was that one of Dumbledore's extremely crucial plans was messed up. While there were many apparent benefits to this plan, Dumbledore's lack of knowledge of a certain magic led to even worse news. Zhang Xu said.

At the mention of Dumbledore's plan, he screwed up, causing a little commotion among the Order of the Phoenix. But everyone soon fell silent, waiting for worse news to come.

"I'll start at the beginning." Zhang Xu glanced at the Yellow Egg Man and said, "This matter was completed by Dumbledore with a lot of effort in the past few years, and some of us also know about this matter, that is, the destruction of the mysterious person's Horcruxes. ”

"Since four or five years ago, Dumbledore has been searching for and destroying the Mysteries after identifying them as making Horcruxes, in order to stop them from resurrecting after defeat. Over the past few years, a lot of progress has been made in this work, and I won't go into the specifics, but I'll talk about the key parts. ”

After briefly explaining to those who didn't know what a Horcrux was, Zhang Xu took out a stack of magazines and placed them on the table, and someone recognized from the spine that it was the "Magic" magazine that was supposed to be released tomorrow. He then continued, "Making and preserving multiple Horcruxes at once is unprecedented in the history of magic. With no precedent to follow, neither Dumbledore nor the Mystic Man himself knew how it would affect a person when they made and kept multiple Horcruxes at the same time. ”

"So, after Dumbledore's deliberations and trade-offs, he gave me and some other people, including me, the task of finding and destroying the Horcruxes, and he himself devoted himself to the work."

"However, what no one expected was that the destruction of several Horcruxes had caused some very bad changes for us in the mysterious people."

Then Zhang Xu waved his hand, and the magazine in front of him flew in front of everyone.

"I went to the newsroom in the morning and came back with a few magazines in advance. You can read the first paper in this issue, which is a mockery of Dumbledore by the mysterious man. ”

Professor McGonagall and other top students were the first to pick up the magazine, and others may not have read it before.

Flipping through the magazine, everyone saw that the title of the first paper was "A Study of the Effect of Split Souls on Itself", and the author was none other than Lord Voldemort.

Seeing that the people who were reading and flipping through the paper had no opinion on what they had just said, Zhang was relieved.

It was he who made Dumbledore realize the location of the Horcruxes in advance and began to destroy them. And the one who destroyed the most Horcruxes was also the guy who delivered food to the Dementors.

However, who would have thought that the resonance between multiple split souls would have an effect similar to that of the "mentally retarded aura" on the main soul. It's similar to how there are a few voices whispering in your ear all the time, it's not like someone is saying in your ear, love me forever, but like there's a bunch of flies around you all day, buzz...... Airplanes... Airplanes... Fly into your ears, and in the long run, it is no wonder that there will be no mental problems.

Moreover, when the soul fragment is violently destroyed, it will cause a huge impact on other souls that will take a long time to recover at the moment of destruction.

However, if these souls are slowly digested, not only will they not cause a sudden shock, but they will gradually weaken until the "mentally retarded aura" created by the soul resonance is eliminated.

The problem now is that the Horcruxes except for Harry have long been disposed of, and most of them are slowly digested by the Dementors, which has caused Voldemort's own soul to not be affected, and has also helped him remove the "mentally retarded aura". And the mastermind behind all this is him.

recalled that in the "plot", the rings, lockets, cups, crowns, and double yolk eggs were all violently destroyed in a short period of time. And Voldemort's impact is probably to ask Narcissa Malfoy to see if Harry is dead, instead of directly cremating Harry's "corpse" with a fire. And later he loosens his protection of the snake girl, making Nagini send the snake head into Neville's experience pack. If Voldemort had been cautious at that time, cremating Harry in public in front of the teachers and students at Hogwarts, and then continuing to hide Nagini, then it is estimated that the author could have written two more books.

At the same time, this can also explain why Voldemort's IQ is now online, not only recruiting troops all over the world, developing from regional terrorists to Grindelwald's multinational organization, but also making a lot of commotion operations.

And to help Voldemort remove the "mentally handicapped aura" and reduce the impact of the soul, so that his IQ can be re-online This pot, objectively speaking, Zhang can't run away, after all, he has been promoting the destruction of Horcruxes openly and secretly from the beginning.

Fortunately, although Voldemort's IQ is online, he still can't be uncertain about Zhang's role in this matter, after all, he can't realize that Zhang is one of the first few people to know the secret of the Horcrux, and there is a Dumbledore in front of him, so he thinks that Zhang's actions are all instructed by Dumbledore.

In order to combat Dumbledore's legacy and build confidence in his side, Voldemort made the matter semi-public.

As a highly academic publication, Magic Magazine would not be read by ordinary wizards. Voldemort used a little spring and autumn penmanship when writing his dissertation, and then told those knowledgeable and capable wizards in this way: You see, a wise man like Dumbledore will also objectively help me relieve my worries, and I am the one who is destined to do so, so you should quickly obey me. At the same time, he told the dark wizards who had taken refuge in him: Your Dark Lord will always be your Dark Lord, so you should follow me. And those melon-eating people, after listening to the news of a few hands, will only realize that Dumbledore is stupid and Voldemort is awesome.

Fortunately, there was no mention of him in the paper, so he took this opportunity to put the pot together with the ashes at the bottom of the pot and let Dumbledore carry it all.

As for revealing that he has a Horcrux, would he be afraid of Voldemort? Quietly dig a deep pit and bury the Horcruxes, where do you find them?

Professor McGonagall, who was the first to read and understand the paper and the deep meaning behind it, closed the magazine and looked at Zhang Xu with a complicated expression. And Zhang Xu could only reply with a wry smile.

Although he had already realized that Voldemort's IQ was on the line, he did not expect that Voldemort himself had discovered this early on, and had made concessions to him on many issues before in order to paralyze him.

At first, he also planned to use the locket in the seaside cavern as an opportunity to let Voldemort know that his Horcrux had been stolen when the time was right, and induce Voldemort to attack Hogwarts, which had set up an ambush circle, and then launch a final blow against him.

When he lent the Elder Wand to Voldemort, he set two conditions with the Unbreakable Oath Charm, in addition to promising not to destroy Dumbledore's tomb, the second condition was to let Voldemort know that Slytherin's locket had been stolen, and then let Voldemort sue Blake as the owner, and then sell the ownership of the locket to himself. In this way, not only can you lead Voldemort into the ambush circle, but you can also get your hands on the Slytherin locket.

However, after Voldemort suspected that something was wrong with his Horcruxes, he decisively sent people to the seaside cave and personally to the ruins of the old mansion to confirm the status of the locket and ring. As a result, after confirming that the Horcruxes in these places were missing, not only did he not go crazy on the spot, but he also guessed Zhang's intentions.

So when the Wizengamot was rebuilt, he filed a lawsuit against Regulus Black against Regulus Black for stealing his locket box without waiting for someone to mention it. After all, only the house-elves of the Black family knew about it back then, and Regulus Black disappeared again later, and then was buried around the time when the soul fragments in the suspected locket were destroyed, plus the locket was missing again and was not in Zhang's hands, so this pot would basically not be wrong with Regulus Black's body. Sirius Black, an immediate family member of Regulus Black's late brother, did not attend the trial, so the Wizengamot convicted the late Regulus Black of theft and the locket must be returned to Voldemort.

On the night of Christmas Eve, the envelope that Voldemort gave to Zhang Xu as a Christmas gift contained the verdict of the case and the gift documents of the locket.

Now, legally, Zhang Xu has become the legal owner of the Slytherin locket.

As for why the locket belonging to a certain lady became Voldemort's belonging, no one in the Wizengamot thought about it, after all, none of them could live with their own lives.

This very important card laid by Zhang Xu many years ago was suddenly picked up by Voldemort, which caused him a lot of blows.

Fortunately, he had other cards to play and not lose all of them.

At this time, as long as everyone in the Order of the Phoenix had a good brain, after reading Voldemort's papers, they all understood Zhang Xu's intention of calling them. In the seventies, Voldemort, with his brain problem, was able to wreak havoc on the wizarding world of Britain. And now, with the mainstay Dumbledore gone, Voldemort getting smarter, the situation is getting dire.
