Harry and Ron soon arrived at the door of the Room of Requirement in the corridor on the eighth floor.

Since there were still as few students choosing to stay in school during Christmas, no one noticed their uneasy expressions along the way. At this time, the door to the Room of Requirement had been revealed on the wall that was supposed to be empty.

"……let's go."

The two looked at each other, and then Harry walked in front and opened the door first. However, he did not step in immediately. Instead, he poked his head inside and roughly observed the layout of the room he opened this time. ——

This is a room similar to a laboratory. Various tables, chairs and cabinets are piled up in the corner. It can be seen that not long ago, they should have been arranged in the middle of this room, but now, they have been placed there. It was replaced by two magical instruments that looked extremely complicated and huge. Avada is standing next to one of the instruments at the moment, holding a wand in his hand, seeming to be debugging something...

"coming?"

After hearing the sound of the door opening from behind, he turned around and waved to Harry and Ron: "Come in quickly, I know you may be a little suspicious of my sudden appearance, but we don't have enough time now. , I can only make a long story short - you close the door first, and don't touch anything here..."

After hearing this, Harry, who was still at the door, hesitantly stepped over the threshold and entered the private laboratory that Avada had opened in the Room of Requirement, which had been idle for more than a year. Eun also walked in after him and closed the door behind his back. Together they looked at the magical instrument that Avada was debugging.

The instrument was made up of several large and small rings nested together. It looked a bit like a more sophisticated armillary sphere, and each ring also had a groove with various strange and strange inlays on it. Things - a ring, a gorgeous locket, a simple crown, a black notebook, and a golden cup...

'That golden cup... seems to be the cup that was given to me two years ago and allowed me to carry it to defraud Voldemort's leftovers? ’

Harry recognized the Hufflepuff gold cup that he had carried for several days at a glance: 'And the one next to it... that seems to be the notebook left by Voldemort? ? ’

He subconsciously took a half step back, and then saw two other things he was more familiar with on the table behind Avada - a black crystal ball with a silver ring, and a ball full of A glass bottle with gray mist...

"That is……"

Before Harry could shout out in surprise, Ron on the side also noticed the clue, and his already not so good face turned pale again: "Is that... Voldemort's soul that was sealed last time??"

"That's right."

Avada's eyes were fixed on the Hufflepuff gold cup he was debugging, and she did not put down her work because of Ron's question: "And not just the soul that was sealed that time, but now Voldemort's entire soul. Everyone has gathered in this room - except for the crystal ball and glass bottle, each of the remaining items contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul..."

To be honest, he was glad that Dumbledore was busy meeting the guy who was suspected of being Grindelwald, causing him to put himself down and leave in a hurry without intending to personally supervise his experiment - this saved him from having to talk to Dumbledore. Bullido explained the power of the Resurrection Stone.

And after all this is over, the Resurrection Stone will turn back into the ordinary Deathly Hallows, without a curse or carrying Voldemort's life. Avada can also hand it over with confidence after this year's storm has passed. Giving it to Dumbledore can be regarded as putting an end to the old principal's obsession.

"Voldemort's soul is in every item?!"

Harry and Ron were shocked: "Can souls be stuffed into objects so casually?"

"This is a dark magic technology called a Horcrux."

Thinking back on this matter, even Avada couldn't help but frown a little, and the things in his hands also slowed down a little: "This technology allows the wizard to split his soul, and then put the split fragments into into a special container. In this way, even if the body is destroyed, the soul fragments in the container will still pull the soul's body, allowing it to remain in the world after death to achieve the effect of immortality - this is why Dumbledore Lido could only seal Voldemort, but was unable to destroy him."

"After confirming that Voldemort made Horcruxes, Dumbledore and I have been secretly searching for the Horcruxes he has hidden in various places. It was not until recently that the complete collection was completed - and if everything goes well, in less than two days, His death will come."

"...So that's it."

While Harry was surprised that there was such a technology in the world, he nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder the diary acted so real at the time, as if it were a real living person... and he can use it. The Parseltongue's ability to control the Basilisk seems to be due to the fragments of Voldemort's soul..."

While Harry was recalling the thrilling situation two years ago, Ron on the side was counting the number of items with a look of horror on his face: "One...two...three..."

"...six...seven?!"

"Voldemort divided his soul into seven pieces?!"

He looked at Avada who was still busy in disbelief: "Is he crazy?!"

"Yeah, he's crazy."

Avada finally stopped what she was doing, straightened up and turned to face Harry and Ron: "And to correct me - Voldemort did not divide his soul into seven pieces, but eight."

"Eight dollars?"

The two counted the items again, and then raised their heads in confusion: "Where is the eighth piece?"

Avada silently raised a finger, pointing firmly in one direction as Harry and Ron's eyes gradually turned from confusion to shock. "

"Harry Potter,"

He said softly: "Why can you use the Parseltongue of a descendant of Slytherin even though you are obviously a descendant of the Potter family?"

"Why can you deceive the diary so perfectly? And why can you be hit by the killing curse without dying?"

"There is only one answer to these questions..."

"Harry Potter,"

He looked into Harry's eyes and said word by word: "Because you are the last Horcrux left by Voldemort!"

"I... am a Horcrux?"

Harry looked at his hands in confusion, then raised his head to look at Avada, and gave a very forced smile: "This must be fake, right? You are teasing me, right?"

Avada said nothing, watching quietly as the color drained from Harry's face.
