From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

"I don't think that's possible," Professor Kettleburn said angrily, tapping his wooden leg on the ground of the entrance courtyard corridor.

"Why do you think about doubting those cute magical animals? There are many little wizards in the entrance courtyard. No magical animal likes to face too many humans, just like introverted people don't Like standing in the middle of the crowd."

"In addition, judging from the direction Mannis is looking at, the only magical animals that are qualified to be the culprits are the flying ones or those living in the Black Lake, but the entrance courtyard is already within the scope of Hogwarts Castle. Well, it’s better to keep the magical animals at arm’s length…”

Principal Dippet frowned and asked: "Are you sure, Silvanus? You must know that except for some strange beings among magical animals, it is difficult for anyone to travel through space. Because this kind of space Magic like this can easily lead others to the wrong place, so it’s better not to use it.”

After listening to their conversation, Xiwen always felt that something was wrong, and felt that the dimensional gate he relied on too much was being connoted.

"I'm sure, Armando." Professor Kettleburn said loudly, tapping the ground heavily with his crutch with his last remaining arm. "I've been thinking about it for a long time but I still can't figure out what kind of animal has the ability to turn Miss Mannes into this?"

After listening to Professor Kettleburn's words, the scene suddenly became quiet again.

"Wait a minute, what did you mean by 'secret room' and 'remain vigilant'?" Riddle asked suddenly. "Is there someone locked in a secret room who needs to be vigilant at all times to prevent life-threatening danger?"

Sivan looked at Riddle, then turned to Dumbledore and Principal Dippet.

"So our question now is, what exactly is the secret room? And why do we say stay vigilant?" He pointed at the blood-red writing on the ground with his wand and recited the incantation of the universal breaking spell.

Just like Mannis' body, the writing on the ground did not change at all.

"A permanent sticking spell?" Dumbledore crossed his arms and said softly. "I have to say that the wizard or magical animal who carried out the attack is quite creative."

"How about we also ask Newt? After all, he has traveled around the world for so many years. Maybe he has some unique insights." Sivan said. "You can also ask him how the mission there is going and if he needs any help."

Xiwen's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

So he raised his hand and opened a dimensional door, leading to Newt's side, and pulled Newt over who still didn't know what was happening.

After seeing Mannis' tragic situation, the kind-hearted Newt also became depressed and frowned deeply.

"So do you mean to suspect that the murderer is a magical animal?" He looked at Sivan and Dumbledore and asked.

"That's true. After all, even Dumbledore's Universal Breaking Curse can't break this magic. It's hard for us not to doubt that this kind of magic does not belong to the category of wizard's curses at all." Sivan said. "But now I don't understand why the murderer chose Mannis to kill?"

"Principal, Professor, do you know if Mannis has offended anyone or has any special physique that attracts magical animals?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

Principal Dippet also said helplessly: "Miss Mannes is a little wizard from a Muggle family, and her talent is mediocre. Apart from her love of reading, she should be more like a Hufflepuff. I never thought she had any What a special place.”

"Wait, you said she is from a Muggle family?" Newt was suddenly startled and asked.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Principal Dippet nodded and asked in surprise.

"Let me think about it... I remember Rita once told me a story, a story about a secret room..." Newt slowly told the story with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.

The story Newt tells is an ancient legend.

Legend has it that there is a secret room in Hogwarts. This secret room was built by Salazar Slytherin before he left school and sealed after he left school. Only he and his heirs can open it.

There is a terrifying monster living in the Chamber of Secrets, which can only be controlled by the heir of Slytherin. When it is put into the school, it can "purify the school" and eliminate all those who Slytherin deems unworthy of learning magic.

"Rumors about a monster living deep within the castle have been circulating for centuries, but not many people really believe this legend," Newt said.

Principal Dippet thought for a while and suddenly clapped his hands in understanding.

"I remembered that many headmasters of Hogwarts, as well as many historians in the wizarding world, had conducted thorough searches of the school, hoping to find the secret room, but they all found nothing." He said to Several people present said. "It is also because of these failed search operations that most people believe that the secret room is just an unreliable legend."

Xiwen was startled for a moment, then glanced at the ground at Mannis' feet.

"So the opening of the Chamber of Secrets and the words 'enemies with the successor' all point to the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin at Hogwarts, right?" he asked softly. "In other words, the so-called 'purify the school and eliminate all those who Slytherin deems unworthy of learning magic' refers to young wizards of Muggle origin, right?"

"Now it seems that this guess is indeed very reasonable." Newt nodded and agreed.

"So now the questions become the other two, for example, who is the heir of Slytherin? And what is his intention?" Dumbledore nodded and said.

"Okay, it's late enough today. It's time for the two underage wizards to go back to bed." Principal Dippet interrupted the conversation of several people and said.

Then he looked at Dumbledore and said, "Albus, please cast a spell to bring Miss Mannes' body to the school hospital. It would be best if Mrs. Dallaire could find a treatment. If that doesn't work, then she would Forget it, after all, it’s a magic close to the level of the Unforgivable Curse.”

Sivan and Riddle politely said goodbye to Principal Dippet and turned towards the spiral staircase leading to the castle dungeon.

Riddle didn't say a word along the way, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiwen, on the other hand, looked at him thoughtfully, also not sure what he was thinking.
