144 Voldemort
After a brief exchange, the two continued to clean the third room in the giant snake statue.
"Karan, come here and take a look at this thing."
It didn't take long for Snape to suddenly point at a dark object. He turned to Karan and said, "This doesn't look like an ordinary rag. Slytherin certainly won't need such a thing." .”
Karan walked over silently, and at the same time, the mass of things automatically floated in front of the two of them, unfolding little by little.
Finally, a piece of clothing that looked like a witch's robe and a cloak was displayed in front of them.
This piece of clothing has many holes in it and looks extremely old.
"Is this the witch robe of Slytherin himself?" Snape asked doubtfully.
Karan didn't answer in a hurry. He first let the witch robe spin in the air, and then boldly pinched a corner of the witch robe with his fingers.
"Black, without any pattern, about half an inch thick..."
Karan murmured softly: "No wonder..."
Snape looked at him in confusion, and Karan shook his head and said, "This is not Slytherin's witch robe, but a magical animal."
"To be more precise, this is actually the body of a magical animal——."
"What is that?" The confusion on Snape's face deepened.
"You should read more of this book. It records many interesting magical animals."
After a pause, Karan continued: "Of course, including extremely dangerous types."
"They are extremely dangerous magical animals, marked by the Ministry of Magic as the highest danger level of xxxxx. They look like black cloaks and are about half an inch thick."
"The target prey is humans. When the target is asleep, they will attack at night, first suffocating the target to death, and then digesting the target bit by bit."
"When digestion is complete, the thickness will increase."
"In addition, the form of movement is to slide along the surface of the object in an unknown method, and the only way to deal with it is."
"Patronus Curse?" When he heard this, Snape asked in surprise: "Isn't this a method specifically used to deal with dementors?"
Karan looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Snape was stunned for a moment. After thinking silently for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses: "What you are talking about seems to be very similar to Dementors."
"Yes, that's it."
Karan finally nodded and said, "That's why I said no wonder just now."
He then said this sentence completely: "No wonder Slytherin Lincoln gave up research on Dementors. It turned out to be because he had found another alternative existence."
"This is."
"But fortunately, it's just that."
——————
Karan's tone seemed a little lucky: "Magical animals have a lifespan after all, so we don't need to deal with this one head-on. But it's different."
"In fact, it won't really die, but will just disappear."
"Compared to a magical animal, if there really is a dementor here, then it will at least last until the moment we show up."
"If that's the case, we have no choice but to escape."
Snape nodded silently, his expression looking like he was relieved.
In any case, compared to discovering nothing, a test that no longer exists can at least make him feel more at ease.
"But what about the research you are talking about?" Snape suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"Slytherin, have you studied anything here?"
"That's right."
Karan nodded calmly and said: "Think about that Boggart. It was not a normal Boggart at all. Plus the body of the one we found. I think you should know that Slytherin What are you studying?"
Snape pursed his lips and slowly widened his eyes.
"You mean...?" He asked in disbelief: "Slytherin has been studying here all the time?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Karan kneaded the so-called corpse again. It didn't feel much different from a normal witch robe.
"In 1782, a wizard named Flavius Belby was on vacation in Papua New Guinea. At night, while he was not fully asleep, he was attacked by one. After various spells failed , he managed to summon the Patronus at the last moment and finally let this one go."
Callan stared at Snape, and he said slowly: "This is the first known survivor of an attack since recorded history."
"But it was in 1782, not earlier."
"At least not the time Slytherin lived."
Facing the increasingly shocked Snape, Karan just said calmly: "Perhaps, even Gryffindor has not discovered the real danger of this unknown magical animal. Only Slytherin is People know about it.”
"Subsequently, Slytherin seemed to have given up on the research on dementors without hiding it from Gryffindor, but he was still conducting experiments quietly."
"I just don't know how far he has gone."
Karan stared closely at the shabby "witch robe" in front of him.
"Will the next research target be changed back to a dementor?"
At this time, Snape had no idea what to say. He couldn't imagine why anyone would take the initiative to study such a terrifying existence as Dementors.
Callan seemed to see what Snape was thinking. He smiled and said: "As incredible as it sounds, Slytherin is not the last person to do this."
"In the 15th century, there was a dark wizard who lived alone on the island. His name was Extis."
"He is capable of using the most vile dark magic, while also seducing, torturing and killing Muggle sailors who pass through the island."
"After his death, the concealment spell used on the island began to wear off. The British Ministry of Magic was only then aware of the island's existence. Investigators are unwilling to say what evidence of Extis activity they found there, which may be Because those are so evil that they have reached a terrifying level.”
"However, investigators discovered that the island was infested with dementors."
Callan stared at Snape and he said slowly.
"This island is Azkaban today."
Snape's eyes widened, he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why on earth did they do this?"
Karan shook his head: "I don't know."
"And even these things about research are just a guess."
"As long as we can find something relevant to ending the ordeal, otherwise nothing will be known."
"continue."
As Karan finished his words, the two of them started searching without any clue.
"Karan, look at this."
This time, it was Snape who made the first discovery.
Karan quickly looked over and saw something that had just been cleaned placed on the table not far in front of Snape.
It looks a bit like a portrait.
