Chapter 271: Killing a man with a heart!

Chapter 271: Killing a man with a heart!

From the perspective of psychology and physiology, death is always the greatest fear of human beings.

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

But the other party just chose to attack, but didn't kill Filch, which was very strange.

Especially according to "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 horror inside, let it purify the school, and remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic. "

If the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets believed this passage, would Filch be eliminated?

of course,

Because he's a Squib!

They are more discriminated against by pure-bloods than Muggle-born wizards.

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

But William didn't think the assailant would fight against the angel in his heart at the moment of attack, and finally the heart of the Virgin broke out, leaving Filch alive.

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 through the things he has done."

William nodded approvingly.

Different people think in different ways... A genius is different from a fool, and an ordinary person is even more different from a pervert.

Of course, to make an accurate judgment, you need enough experience and familiarity with various human natures, so you can easily substitute yourself into the role of smart, stupid, reckless, cunning, perverted, or gay.

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

"Knowing that Filch hated the castle being dirty, the attackers stole Nick's rotting food and lured him on purpose.

I first thought the attacker was a pretty smart guy. said Dumbledore.

That's right, being able to attack under the nose of Dumbledore has not left the slightest evidence, and the IQ is indeed good.

Like Tywin and Quirrell, Dumbledore both noticed that they had problems in advance, but this time he didn't know anything.

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

He is very confident.

We are confident that even if we know, he will be able to attack successfully next time. "

Dumbledore quickly analyzed two labels for the attacker.

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

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

"William, I'm leaning towards the second point." Dumbledore's gaze stayed on the window.

"A wizard who chooses to open the chamber of secrets will not be afraid to kill people... Since he doesn't kill, there is a reason not to kill.

There are reasons for everything a person does, and those reasons are all in the service of an end goal. "

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

"Not quite sure 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 that!" Dumbledore's face was serious.

"He's going to go on to the next attack, and for some of the same reasons, he's not going to kill the next victim."

"But this kind of attack won't last forever... As we said just now, breeding fear is not his real purpose, otherwise he would have killed Filch directly.

All his actions are serving a goal. I think this kind of attack must be frequent. "

William was deep in thought, "Is there any evidence to support this view?"

Dumbledore leaned on the chair and reminded softly:

"I think you noticed the mark written in blood on Filch's right hand?"

"A horned camel?"

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

The horned camel is a magical creature with a huge body and a raised back. Its gray-purple hide is stronger than the skin of a dragon.

There are two very sharp golden long horns on the head of the horned camel beast, and its body is like a saber-toothed tiger.

"Is he implying that we sent the horned camel? I remember that the horned camel is extinct." William said doubtfully.

"That's not accurate, Newt found the last pair of breeding horned camels decades ago.

He bred himself to save the creature from extinction.

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

"Two?" William raised his eyebrows.

In ancient runes, the Horned Camel symbolizes the number two.

"Yeah, I think he's telling us that Filch was the second guy he hit.

A smart and confident attacker, obviously with a little pomp, who thought it would be boring for no one to know what he'd done.

So remind me that way. "

"Who will be the first?"

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

"That's the tricky part, don't forget, Filch's chest wound is healing 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 have no way of knowing. "

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

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 number divination before, and she said that danger may come seven times."

William soon recounted what he discovered in the arithmetic and divination class.

After Dumbledore finished listening, he said: "The divination class is much more troublesome than I imagined. 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 it enough to attack one person? To attack... seven..."

The other principals also talked a lot and seemed extremely angry.

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

"All are safe for the time being until the seventh person is attacked."

"Harry?!" William said suddenly.

"That's right!" Dumbledore said appreciatively, "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, patiently playing with his prey."

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

It was not for nothing that the attackers controlled Filch to identify Harry.

In other words, all subsequent victims would identify Harry.

What happens when all the students think Harry is the attacker?

Not to mention campus violence, the seventh attack probably didn't need to be done by the person who opened the secret room. He secretly incited the students a little, and a group attack would happen.

Make you bad first, make you the only designated blame man, and then use public opinion to kill people?

Killing people also... Punish your heart!
