Ministry of Magic, Department of Occult Affairs.

"This is it."

As a government agency of the British wizarding community, the Ministry of Magic is not as vigilant as Hogwarts, but it is also the highest level...... However, with the combination of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, no matter what kind of defensive magic is useless. It didn't take much time before the group arrived at the black gate that led to the Department of Mysteries.

Grindelwald stared at the plain black door, and even he had heard of the name of the place after decades of confinement in Newmondgadri: "Department of Mysteries, legend is the origin of magic, from which all magic flows...... If the rumors about it are to be believed, then what Voldemort can draw from them is terrifying. ”

"Even so, it's something we have to do."

Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald and Scorpius Malfoy standing beside him, then at the three members of the Middle-earth team, and then pushed open the black door in front of him without hesitation.

- Behind the door, it was black.

Not a metaphor, but a fact. Everything here, including the ceiling, floor, and the twelve doors in front of you, was all black, exactly the same, with no markings and no handles. The only source of light around was some sparkling blue candles, and the cold, flickering faint candlelight reflected on the gleaming marble floor, making the floor look like a pool of black water.

"So we have twelve options."

Grindelwald, who then stepped over the threshold, looked at the door in front of him and shrugged his shoulders: "Albus, which door do you think Voldemort will hide in?" ”

"There is only one goal in his life, and that is to overcome death."

Without waiting for Dumbledore to speak, Yang Yun answered this question in advance, even if he didn't need Chu Xuan's reminder, he was able to come up with the answer on his own: "Whether it's a Horcrux or something else." All he wanted to achieve was a process of striving to achieve the goal of 'defeating death'. ”

"That's right, so we have to go to the Hall of Death." Dumbledore glanced at Yang Yun and nodded, "But the doors of the Department of Mysteries have ancient magic, I'm afraid we'll have to try them one by one......"

"Don't bother, I'll do it."

Chu Xuan spoke, and a strange prop had already appeared in his hand at some point, looking like some kind of compass, and it seemed to be a strange gossip-shaped compass. As Chu Xuan pressed the props in his hand a few times, there were words in his mouth, and with the current atmosphere, it was as if he was a gold-touching captain with a unique skill, and he was making preliminary preparations.

But Yang Yun understood that Chu Xuan would never do useless work. Sure enough, a few seconds later, the gossip compass in Chu Xuan's hand emitted a ray of light, firmly locked on one of the doors, and he immediately strode forward a few steps and pushed the door straight open.

Behind the door is a square room with a recess in the center, forming a huge stone pit. Stone steps surround the room, like stone benches, descending gradually, each steep as a lecture hall...... In the center, there is an arch on a stone platform, on which is also hung a tattered black drapery.

"This is it, Hall of Death."

Dumbledore, who recognized something in the back of the hall, walked in, his gaze locked on the curtain in the center, and although the air was cold and there was not a trace of wind, it swayed gently, as if it had just been touched.

At the same time, there was a strange feeling in the hearts of everyone who entered the hall that someone must be standing behind the curtains, or on the other side of the arch, accompanied by a faint whispering and muttering...... It's as if the curtain has some powerful temptation to let people pass through it.

"Well, the veil of life and death, the temptation of death." Grindelwald blinked, and he knew what was in front of him: "Is there such a thing in the British Ministry of Magic?" ”

“…… That's right, the veil that divides life and death. ”

Dumbledore also stared at the curtain on the arch, and it took a long time for him to exhale, and at the same time reached out and grabbed Scorpius, who had unconsciously taken two steps towards the steps, and brought him back to his senses: "If there is a place closest to death that can give Tom a glimpse into the secrets of life and death, then this is it." ”

"In other words, Voldemort is right behind here."

Compared to the three wizards, the three reincarnators of the Zhongzhou team reacted much less, but even with the effect of spiritual power shielding, Yang Yun could still feel that the world behind the curtain exuded a certain attraction to him: "Chu Xuan, you ......"

Chu Xuan calmly put away the props he had made, and there was a flash of light above his head: "After protecting your body with True Yuan Power and Life Energy, you can cross this barrier, and I have the protection of the Nether Core, and I can also enter this arch." ”

“…… Looks like my Nether Core, right? Yang Yun asked uncertainly.

"It's in my hands, and it's going to make a bigger difference."

Chu Xuan lightly brushed over the matter of the core of Nether, and then looked at the three people on the other side: "If you want to cross the boundary between life and death, the conditions that are met, I think you should also know." ”

"The Story of the Trihallows of Death...... The one who collects the Three Hallows will become the master of death. Grindelwald muttered.

"Not the master of death, but the qualification to meet death." Chu Xuan corrected Grindelwald's words flatly: "In other words, the qualification to meet 'death' is also the qualification to enter. ”

The next moment, two inquiring eyes suddenly fell on Dumbledore's body, and Dumbledore also thought for a few seconds before asking, "Scorpius, the Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone are all on your body, right?" ”

"Yes, Headmaster."

Scorpius quickly pulled out two other Deathly Hallows from his pocket and tried to hand them to Dumbledore, but Dumbledore just shook his head, pushed the two Deathly Hallows back to him, and said, "Say the Disarming Charm to me." ”

"Albus?"

Grindelwald let out a voice of surprise: "Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"I know that I have failed the trust of young people twice, and when the third option is presented to me, I can't feel like I can do it all again...... We are old, Gellert, we are all old, and the future is no longer ours. ”

Grindelwald and Dumbledore looked at each other, and at the hidden power in Dumbledore's eyes, after a moment, the former holder of the Elder Wand looked away and whispered, "Well, Albus, you're right, you're always right, if it's your decision......"

"That's it."

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, walked up to a somewhat overwhelmed Scorpius, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's to believe in myself...... Summoning the courage to break with fate and prophecy. ”

"Go and break that so-called 'curse', Scorpius, I'm proud of you."

"A wise choice."

Chu Xuan left a word and walked down the steps, the core of Nether swirling above his head, and countless 0s and 1s surrounded him, protecting his body and stepping into the arch.

"What can end everything is in the future, not in the past."

Yang Yun also nodded, and a green light appeared around his body: "Now is that time." ”

With that, Yang Yun turned around and stepped into the arch for the second one.

Behind him, the light of the disarming spell lit up. (End of chapter)
