Weasley, I think you've got to learn when to shut up! Snape waved his wand, and a grayish-white light struck Ron.

Ron was shocked to find that he was speechless, and Snape nodded in satisfaction and left.

Ivan was silent for a moment in mourning Ron's tragic experience, while also speculating in his heart about how things would go.

Dumbledore didn't let them go back to their dorm to rest, which proved that the two girls who hadn't come to class had not been found, or... Something else happened along the way!

Ivan lay quietly in his sleeping bag, thinking over and over again the series of events that had happened after the loss of the Horcrux, and I don't know how long it took before he fell asleep...

......

The next day, the results of last night's search spread, and Ivan found that things had once again exceeded his expectations.

One of the two junior girls who did not come to class was knocked unconscious after being attacked and taken to the school hospital.

The remaining second-year Slytherin girl has not been found, and is destined to be temporarily missing...

Hearing the news, Ivan's heart became more and more uneasy, and now he was almost sure that the Horcrux was in the hands of this Slytherin girl.

But he secretly used the map to check in the morning, and the whole school couldn't find each other's names, which means that there are two possibilities.

Either the girl is hiding in a mysterious place that resembles a secret room, or she's dead...

After absorbing the life force of at least three people, Ivan guessed that Tom Riddle's power should be close to resurrection, this Slytherin girl is probably dispensable for him, and it is not impossible to be abandoned...

In terms of strength, Ivan is not afraid of this sixteen-year-old Voldemort, and the memories between the Horcrux and the main body will not be shared, which means that after Tom is resurrected, he is far from the level of his main body.

When discussing and researching various spells with Horcruxes before, Ivan had roughly judged that Tom Riddle's spell level was about level five, and there was no obvious gap between him and himself.

If you count a few boosters and two special bloodline spells, Ivan thinks he should be able to win.

The only thing to consider is how to find Tom's whereabouts...

Ivan tried to analyze what the victims had in common, hoping to find something in them, but to no avail.

They have different colleges, they are older and younger, and even he specially asked, these girls usually have no intersection.

Ivan frowned in thought as he ate his lunch in the Great Hall.

Since the results of the search have spread, many young wizards are also talking about last night's attack, and they are speculating that the missing Slytherin girl is the heir to the secret room.

More people are panicking, fearing that they will be the next to be attacked.

George and Fred took the opportunity to make a peace charm, which was said to be effective against attacks, and it was very popular for a while, and most of the girls were willing to buy one to hang on their bodies.

After lunch, Ivan looked at the class schedule, and in the afternoon it was two Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons.

Ivan was ready to listen to the story for the afternoon, but to his surprise, Lockhart didn't let Neville perform with him on stage during class.

For two full classes, Lockhart not only bragged that he had deliberately released water in the duel arena last night in order to protect Snape's face, but also pretended to popularize a lot of magic knowledge to these second-year wizards.

Ivan was still a little strange, but when he thought of the magic books in Lockhart's office, it became clear.

After class, Ivan walked on the way to the Great Hall,

In the hallway, a group of young witches chattered about today's Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and of course, last night's duel between Lockhart and Snape.

They were convinced that Professor Lockhart was so good that he would find the assailant soon, as he did in every adventure!

Ivan listened to their conversation and vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't grasp the point.

"That guy is an out-and-out liar!" Hermione whispered on the side, then glared at Ivan dissatisfied, and continued to speak.

"You must have told Lockhart about the magic he taught, didn't you?"

"It's not, maybe Lockhart saw it from that book." Ivan shook his head, frowning, he felt as if he had been ignoring something...

Suddenly, Ivan heard a reminder in his mind that the system's task was completed,

Ivan opened the system list very strangely, and found that his legend value was a little more, and looked at the taskbar, only to find that the status of a task had indeed changed.

[Mission: The Dark Lord's Wish (Completed)

Objective: Tom Riddle teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts class, either directly or indirectly

Reward: Legendary Point*1 (Issued)

Mission Description: Although the Dark Lord completed the mission on his own, there will be no reduction in the rewards that belong to you......]

Ivan looked at the task statement as if mocking, and said through gritted teeth.

"Lockhart... It's you?! ”

Ivan was puzzled, Lockhart was clearly in the auditorium yesterday, and he shouldn't have had a chance to attack those girls.

Unless... Ivan thought of a possibility, took out the map of the living point and found Lockhart's name, and found that Lockhart did not go to the auditorium on the first floor after class, but kept going upstairs.

Seeing this, Ivan immediately ran towards Lockhart's position...

Hermione was very strange, dinner was about to be eaten, and Ivan was in a hurry where to go at this time?

The little witch frowned, remembering Ivan's previous words, and immediately realized something.

Although she hadn't figured out how Ivan had judged, Hermione gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, she was going to the Great Hall to report the news to Dumbledore.

After all, Ivan had told her about it before, and the attack was probably related to the mystery man!

In her opinion, the only one who can help Ivan now is Dumbledore...

......

On the other side, Ivan tracked Lockhart's movements with a map of the living spots, and soon found that Lockhart seemed to be heading to the abandoned girls' bathroom, the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Ivan didn't quite understand why Lockhart chose to go to the Chamber of Secrets at this time, but none of that mattered anymore, he could just grab the other person and ask them all.

Watching Lockhart's name disappear into the entrance to the chamber, Ivan put away the map and clenched his wand instead.

It's just that Ivan didn't notice that not long after he looked away from the map of the living spot, a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle suddenly added a name that he was very familiar with...
