Chapter 678: Voldemort’s New Trends

The office was eerily quiet. Compared with the previous Q&A between the two people, it felt more like it was about to end.

But even basic information has not been exchanged completely, so naturally no one can leave.

Dumbledore half-closed his eyes, as if he was resting, and Fanlin's consciousness seemed to be immersed in the pensieve again.

"Would you like a cup of black tea, or coffee?"

"A cup of black tea, Professor."

Within two seconds, a steaming cup of black tea appeared on the table.

"Professor." Fan Lin tried to say, "I think that instead of discussing how to change the education method at Hogwarts, it is better to find a way to deal with the current things."

"You mean the Three Witches Fighting Competition?"

"Voldemort's resurrection requires Harry's blood, and that's what they're planning to do."

"Do it during the third competition?" Dumbledore asked, "I have thought about it, and the best way is... Speaking of which, you should know who is responsible for the arrangement of the third task."

"Professor Moody?"

"That's right, so I'm not worried about whether Harry can leave Hogwarts, but coming back is indeed a difficult task." Dumbledore rubbed his temples. He couldn't come forward. In this way, it would be difficult for him to come back. gave Voldemort a great chance.

"Voldemort can't fight Harry, at least not with the wand in his hand." Fan Lin said.

"I know what the twin wands do," Dumbledore said, "but it's not enough to bring Harry back."

"I have a plan, Professor." Fan Lin thought about it and said, "Maybe I can go with Feeling."

"Are you going with Harry?" Dumbledore asked, "Are you sure?"

"Not much, but, always gotta try, I learned to Apparate."

"That's not enough, Fanlin," Dumbledore said.

Fan Lin nodded. Apparition is a risky way. If it doesn't succeed, he and Harry will die somewhere. And even if it succeeds, with Voldemort's strength, he can capture the fluctuations of Apparition and let him follow him. Come here, this is a bad thing.

However, they can also pass the portkey, but that will become more troublesome.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now." Dumbledore shook his head, "Is this the agreement between you and that vampire?"

"That's right," Fan Lin nodded, "Within my ability, I will solve a troublesome problem for them, in exchange for them cooperating with me and letting Harry come back alive."

Fan Lin shrugged his shoulders, "However, those guys are not trustworthy. So far, they have only exchanged information."

"This is good, at least it puts us in the driver's seat."

"Professor Dumbledore..." Fan Lin hesitated, "What will happen if I destroy Voldemort before he is resurrected?"

"You can't do it." Dumbledore shook his head, "You should know that we don't have all of his weaknesses."

Dumbledore leaned back and took out the diary and crown from the drawer.

"How many do you think this thing will have?"

"I don't know." Fan Lin shook his head.

"But now he has more," said Professor Dumbledore. "I got this from Barty Crouch."

Dumbledore said, taking out a bottle.

A mess of silvery stuff.

"Crouch's memory?" Fan Lin was shocked.

Harry's dream conveyed very clearly that Fan Lin had no hope of getting any useful information from Crouch. That was Voldemort's judgment, but now it seems that Voldemort underestimated Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't speak, he just frowned and put Crouch's memory into the pensieve.

Just like a stream of water poured into a hot oil pan, the liquid in the pensieve showed signs of boiling in an instant.

Dumbledore stretched out a hand and pressed into the pensieve, and then the signs of boiling were suppressed.

Fan Lin looked intently into the pensieve. Crouch's memory had not melted away like others, and was still tangled together like a mess.

"What's going on here?"

"Chaos, darkness." Dumbledore said slowly.

Visible to the naked eye, under the influence of Dumbledore's magic, Crouch's memory turned into ink and melted in the Pensieve.

Fanlin looked into the pensieve, but there was nothing but darkness.

"How does it feel?" Dumbledore asked.

Fan Lin was a little confused. Even though he was smart, this kind of memory...

"I don't understand, Professor, why this is the case..." Fan Lin said, "Mr. Crouch is not..."

"Split soul." Dumbledore said. "To be precise, Barty is technically dead."

"Death?" Fan Lin said in confusion, "But I didn't feel Mr. Crouch..."

"From the essential change of the soul." Dumbledore said, "It can be said that Barty's human part has completely died."

Fan Lin was slightly stunned. He never expected that Dumbledore would come to such a conclusion.

"However, if it was a transformation, Mr. Crouch still retains the ability to cast magic. He apparated to the Forbidden Forest. My feeling is not wrong."

"That was the last struggle, Fanlin."

Dumbledore said slowly, "Maybe Tom himself didn't realize that half of Crouch's transformation was completed..."

"Half done?" Fan Lin said quickly, "Sorry, I don't quite understand, what does half done mean? Or should I say, Mr. Crouch..."

"It's half done," Dumbledore said. "Maybe this is just an experiment, an experiment conducted by Voldemort to transform himself, but his power is not complete, and he is not sure that he can succeed in the experiment intact, so …”

"Mr. Crouch became a test subject?" Fan Lin said, "What's the result?"

"The experiment failed and Crouch is dead." Dumbledore said seriously, "The memory you just saw is the entirety of Crouch's soul."

Dumbledore said, "In fact, not long after he was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital, Crouch could no longer hold on. Crouch fell into madness and almost destroyed everything around him, including his own body."

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, but..." Fan Lin opened his mouth several times, but he had no clue. He didn't even know where to start.

No wonder Voldemort wasn't worried, because they couldn't get anything from Crouch.

"You should know that power," Dumbledore said. "We have fought him before, the purest darkness and evil..."

"You mean...the God of Death?" Fan Lin was shocked, "No...this is impossible. How could that thing..."

"All power can be used. At least in Tom's eyes, no one will be afraid of it."

"But where did he find this power? Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I still can't believe it. The body of Death under Hogwarts has been destroyed. Others..."

"I don't know, maybe we met by chance." Dumbledore said, "Pure evil is more suitable and attractive to each other. You should trust my judgment. There is no doubt that this kind of The power that drives wizards to madness comes from Death."

Dumbledore said as he placed a drawing on the table.

The pattern on the drawing is very familiar to Fanlin, it was discovered by Sirius.

"This is the analysis result passed from Greece. I believe that Nico will not be more detailed in this aspect than the sacrifice."

"What is it?"

"Absorption, assimilation, more pure soul conversion." Dumbledore said, "I think Tom should have found something about Death. I believe you should be clear about the power of this power. This is for Tom. Said to have a fatal attraction."

"Is that vampire a test subject?"

"Yes, part of it affects the body, and part of it affects the soul." Dumbledore's eyes became dark, "This is very bad, unprecedentedly bad."

"This is indeed bad." Fan Lin smiled bitterly. He never expected that what he faced would be combined with what Harry faced.

Fan Lin has a deep understanding of the power of the God of Death, and the price is the complete dissipation of the Greek gods.

"However, his progress is not fast." Dumbledore said, "You should know that what the vampire experienced was not just physical strengthening. In fact, the power of death is almost irresistible. It is transforming the body. At the same time, the soul also fell further into madness. This is no different from Barty's performance in St. Mungo's. He has powerful physical destruction ability, but has completely forgotten how to cast magic. Otherwise, I still need to spend a while to subdue him. A lot of effort.”

"How's it going, Professor Dumbledore?"

"The results of transformation in different directions are also different. Batty's final performance is more like what an old friend of mine loves to use to conquer the world."

"Grindelwald...the Obscurus?" Fan Lin hesitated for a moment, and then he thought of who the old friend Dumbledore was talking about.

"That's right," Dumbledore said, "Barty, who has lost his magic ability, can only use his chaotic soul to activate the magic accumulated in his body. However, just like the powerful Obscurus, he will naturally lose his mind. It becomes very controllable.”

Dumbledore said, "It is impossible for Tom to give up his thoughts and magical abilities. For every wizard, this is no different from death."

"However, this is very scary. If Voldemort has the ability to control himself and not lose his mind, or if he can control such a mutated monster..."

"This is going to get really bad, Fanlin..." (To be continued)
