Chapter 5: Devouring

Egypt, Cairo, black market.

As the sun sets, rolling yellow sand rages outside the city, a small shop with no name in the corner of the black market in the inner part of the city, just in obscurity, no one knows, in this small shop, there are two of the Dark Lord's seven Horcruxes - the missing crown of Ravenclaw and the resurrection stone of one of the Deathly Hallows.

If someone pushes open the door of the store, they will see a scene of the graceful black cat lying lazily on the counter, its tail swinging boredly there, the yellow-eyed and pitch-black raven standing on a perched branch, the strange pair of eyes staring downward, and our protagonist Bernard is there playing with a ring as if unintentionally.

If the man looked a little closer, he could see that the crow with the strange eyes was moving his gaze with the moving ring, and the crow seemed to be nodding his head.

Glancing at Dumb, Bernard put the ring away and took out a music box, this time, the music box was obviously much less attractive than the ring, although Dumb also looked at the music box eagerly, but it was not as eager and unstoppable as before.

Looking at this scene, Bernard thoughtfully summoned Dumb down and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Quack! I want to eat! Dumb's childish voice rang out in Bernard's heart.

"Do you feel the same way as before? Is it when you look at the ring? Bernard asked cautiously.

"Quack! It's different, but I want to eat it! Dumb's innocent voice continued to sound.

But obviously, Bernard was not satisfied with this answer, and rewarded Dumb with a brain meltdown, and thought to himself, "Obviously, the attraction of the music box to Dumb is completely different from the attraction of Horcruxes to Dumb, especially since this Horcrux is still made of the resurrection stone, one of the legendary deathly hallows weapons!" ”

Bernard dared to promise that he would never forget the world he went to through the summoning circle that day, and that scene was exactly the scene of the three brothers encountering death in the story, except that he did not encounter death, but encountered a strange bird, a bird that exuded the aura of a top predator.

Later, he brought out three feathers from that world, and then gave birth to Dumb by mistake, although many of them were designed by himself, but in today's view, Bernard still doesn't understand what went wrong with his magic array, and this kind of thing will happen that is completely beyond his control.

This also sounded a wake-up call for Bernard, before experimenting or modifying the magic of his previous life in the future, he must do a good job of warning mechanism, lest he be like this time, just because of such a big mistake, and finally put himself in a desperate situation, what makes Bernard even more unbearable is that because he is unconscious, he is likely to miss the other inheritance left by Salazar Slytherin in the secret room, just a basilisk, and it does not meet the identity of a top giant like Salazar Slytherin, I bet that there are definitely good things in the secret room, It's a shame.

Thinking of this, Bernard couldn't help but sigh, which caused Dumb to be at a loss, "Isn't my mother willing to let me eat?" Dumb and pitiful! "Dumb is worthy of being called Dumb, and the super-large self-brain makes up for Bernard's thought activities, which makes Bernard speechless and rewards him with a brain meltdown.

Two brain meltdowns in a row knocked Dumb a little blind, and Dumb, who reacted, flew up very dissatisfied, screaming at Bernard "croaking", no matter how Bernard greeted him, he refused to come down, until Bernard took out the Ravenclaw crown, and as soon as this big killer was released, Dumb, the foodie bird, immediately flew back again.

Looking at the dumb who was standing obediently on the side, Bernard asked, "Do you still want to eat it with before?" ”

"Quack! Yes, it smells so good! ”

"Isn't it any different?" Bernard asked, holding the ring.

"Quack! It's more fragrant! It looks even better! ”

"Look!"

Bernard caught this word very keenly, and couldn't help but put his eyes on Dumb's yellow eyes, and looked carefully into Dumb's eyes, Bernard seemed to see two of himself in it, suspecting that he was dazzled, shook his head, and Bernard squinted again.

Retracting in disbelief, Bernard closed his eyes as if he had been frightened, hoping to forget the scene just now, opened his eyes again, and looked deeply at Dumb, and then at the music box and the two Horcruxes on the table.

Bernard pushed the music box in front of Dumb and said, "Eat, taste, and remember to tell me what it tastes like!" ”

"Quack!" Dumb screamed happily, and then pounced towards the music box, like a dragonfly dotting water, Dumb's pitch-black beak lightly touched the music box, and a little girl in red shoes seemed to be struggling desperately, and a silent scream hit Bernard's eardrums.

Shaking his head, the scene just now was like an illusion, except for the dumb who was jumping around, there was no little girl in red shoes in this room, Bernard stood up and drew his wand, "malicious manifestation", a light wave that was difficult to see with the naked eye swept across the room, and nothing appeared.

Sitting down helplessly, Bernard stretched out his hand and let Dumb fall into his hand. The little girl just now reminded Bernard of the legend about the music box, and he had heard about it when he bought it, and there were many murders on this strange music box, although I heard that there were wizards who died after holding this music box, but Bernard has never believed in this rumor.

Maybe there are indeed Muggles who died because of the strange existence on the box, but as a rare transcendent intelligent life in this world, Bernard really doesn't believe that there will be a soul that can harm wizards, but the scene just now, as well as his previous research, all show that the little girl is not a simple soul life, she is more like a resentful spirit, an obsession, perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Dumb is not interested in her.

It seems that the warm drink on Dumb's body has passed to him, Bernard feels not as cold as before, that invisible impact, the sudden chill, still left a mark on Bernard's heart, touched Dumb's little head, Bernard asked, "Do you still want to eat?" Do you feel anything? ”

"Quack! It's delicious, it's full, don't want it! ”

It seems that such a resentful spirit satisfies Dumb's appetite, which makes Bernard really curious, you must know that if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't intend to take out the ring to play with before, he wouldn't have found that Dumb could actually feed on things like souls, and he had fed Dumb mealworms before.

Bernard put away the two Horcruxes, looked at Dumb and thought that maybe he had found a good way to restrain the Horcruxes!
