A Magical Hogwarts

Vol 3 Chapter 54: Murder will be punished!

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

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

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

Especially according to the statement in "Hogwarts (A School History:

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

Only the heir can open the secret room, release the horrible things inside, let it purify the school, and remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic. "

If the person who opened the secret room believes this sentence, then, is Filch on the list?

certainly,

Because he's a Squib!

More pure-blooded than Muggle-born wizards.

So, choosing Filch to start, probably also had this consideration.

But William didn't think that the attacker would fight the angel in his heart the moment he attacked, and finally the heart of the Virgin broke out, leaving Filch dead.

This is neither science nor magic.

"William, I'm glad you noticed this keenly," Dumbledore said softly.

"When I analyze a person's behavior pattern, I will first judge the other person's character, habits...even IQ based on what he has done."

William nodded in approval.

Different people have different ways of thinking... Geniuses are different from fools, and ordinary people and perverts are even more different.

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

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

"The attacker knew that Filch hated the castle getting dirty, so he stole Nick's rotten food and deliberately lured him.

First of all, I thought the attacker was a very smart person. ' said Dumbledore.

That's right, to be able to attack under Dumbledore's eyelids without leaving the slightest evidence, his IQ is indeed possible.

Like Tywin and Quirrell, Dumbledore knew in advance that there was something wrong with them, but this time he didn't know anything about it.

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

He is very confident.

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

Dumbledore quickly identified two tags for the attacker.

"Such a smart and confident attacker, who is obviously a pure-blood, so why not kill Filch?"

William thought for a while and guessed: "It can only be because he can't kill, or in other words, it's not time to kill yet?"

"William, I prefer the second point." Dumbledore's eyes stayed on the window.

"A wizard who chooses to open a secret room will not be afraid to kill... Since he doesn't kill, there is a reason not to kill.

There are reasons for a person to do everything, and these reasons are all in the service of the ultimate goal. "

William nodded and asked, "So what is his goal?"

"It's not clear 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 this!" Dumbledore looked solemn.

"He will continue to launch the next attack, and for the same reason, he will not kill the next attacked person."

"But this kind of attack won't last forever... As we said just now, it's not his real purpose to breed fear, otherwise he'll just kill Filch.

All his actions serve one goal, and I think there must be 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 mark written in blood on Filch's right hand?"

"A horned camel beast?"

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

The horned camel beast is a magical creature with a huge body and a bulging back. Its gray-purple skin is stronger than that of a dragon.

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

"Did he imply that we sent the horned camel? I remember that the horned camel was extinct." William said suspiciously.

"It's inaccurate to say that, Newt found the last pair of horned camels that were capable of breeding decades ago.

He bred himself to keep the creature from danger of extinction.

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

"Two?" William raised his eyebrows.

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

"Yes, I think he was telling us that Filch was the second person he attacked.

A smart and confident attacker, obviously a little conceited, thinks that no one knows what he has done, and it will be boring.

So remind me this way. "

"Who will be the first?"

"Good question, but we have no way of knowing." Dumbledore sighed.

"The tricky part is here, don't forget, Filch's chest injury will heal soon.

This shows that even if the first person is attacked, as long as he does not take the initiative to stand up, we will never know. "

Dumbledore crossed his hands and continued: "You just asked me if I had evidence, and this is the evidence. The other party left a number, indicating that he has considered the number of times he wants to attack.

As for how many times..."

William blurted out, "Seven times?"

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

"...Seven is the most magical number...Professor Victor gave me a number divination before, she said that danger may come seven times ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ William will soon find out what happened in the arithmetic and divination class once again.

After listening to Dumbledore, he 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!" cried Armando Dippet in the portrait, "Seven times! Isn't attacking a student enough? To attack... seven times..."

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

"Although this kind of attack is very evil, I think we still have a lot of time." Dumbledore said softly.

"Everyone is temporarily safe until the seventh person is attacked."

"Harry?!" William said suddenly.

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

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

It's not without reason 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?

Leaving aside the school violence, the seventh attack is very likely without the person who opened the secret room. He secretly incites the students a little, and a mass attack will happen.

First offend you, make you the only designated scapegoat, and then use public opinion to kill?

Murder is still... slaying the heart!
