Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 198 The Murder Happened Again
For the Diadem to be revived, two Hogwarts students would have to die.

Voldemort didn't care about this. After awakening more Riddle souls, he took life and death very lightly.

"I hope he doesn't play himself to death."

After silently blessing the crown, Voldemort tampered with Ginny's memory and returned it to the diary.

……

Notebook world, library.

With brisk steps, Voldemort touched several bookshelves with his yew wand.

"Boom~~~"

The bookshelf moved like a nine-square platter, and after a while, an old black bookshelf was revealed.

Voldemort stepped forward and took one of them - [Magic and Soul].

The memory of Riddle in the diary did not stop at the moment when the Horcrux was completed.

After that, there are still decades of memories, but those memories pass by in a hurry, very monotonous and boring.

The general content is that Riddle, who was made into a Horcrux, created Hogwarts in the diary.

At the same time, Riddle outside wrote a large amount of magic book content in his diary and introduced it into this world.

And Riddle, the Horcrux of this world, sorted them out and hid them in a mechanism in the library.

Voldemort, who got this part of the memory, wanted to read all these books—trying to learn from different perspectives should have different insights.

After all, his soul at this time is not only the remnant soul, the Horcrux Riddle, but also Lin Zuo.

Voldemort felt that Lin Zuo's soul could provide a new perspective, just like allowing those scientists to join in the study of magic.

Of course, this must be done before integrating the part of Riddle's soul, otherwise the fixed cognition may make the novel idea disappear - once it is determined, it is difficult for people to break through themselves.

After choosing a few more books, Voldemort carried them to the lakeside, put up a parasol, and lay on the rocking chair. The light rainy weather changed, and Voldemort began to enjoy the pleasant study time.

[Soul and Magic] After reading less than a tenth of it, Voldemort changed another one.

He found that he couldn't understand the book, especially the part about manipulating magic power.

Every time this is involved, the memory in Riddle's soul that has not been fully integrated into the soul must be mobilized, which makes his reading useless.

Because the memory in Riddle's soul will directly provide him with the answer without him having to understand it.

It's not what he wants, so he makes a change.

After reading a book about magic manipulation, the situation really improved.

But just enjoying it, the sky suddenly became chaotic, and a figure flew down from the vortex.

It was Ginny, who entered the world of diaries.

Waving the spellbooks around him to disappear, Voldemort made the weather a little better again.

"That was not bad just now, Jerry, it fits my mood." Ginny pouted as she landed on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Voldemort asked knowingly.

"Another person died, a Hufflepuff third year," said Ginny quickly, "before lunch."

"Before lunch?" Voldemort asked suspiciously. "Aren't there patrolling professors, pickets and warning magic items? None of them worked?"

"Professors are going to class." Ginny sat on the chair next to her and said, "Nobody expected that kind of thing to happen at that time."

"What about magic items?"

"There was a lot of noise, but it was too late when people arrived, but a portrait saw the perpetrator." Ginny said solemnly.

Voldemort raised his eyebrows...was he exposed?
"who is it?"

"A green boa constrictor is said to be very large. Professor Kettleburn is looking for information, but he hasn't identified what it is yet," Ginny said knowingly.

Voldemort nodded. He felt that these people would find the answer soon.

The state of the dead, plus the clues of the shape and color of the basilisk, are enough.

"Jerry, do you have any guesses?" Ginny asked, looking at Voldemort.

"I don't know." Voldemort shook his head and said, "There has never been a green python-like monster in Hogwarts, but I heard from the students that there was a spider-killing incident before."

"Spider killing incident?" Ginny looked very surprised, but also looked at Voldemort with interest.

"I don't know anything too specific, Ginny, the students told me." Voldemort shrugged, indicating that Ginny would get no more from him.

"Okay." Ginny sighed, sat back on the chair and said, "Hogwarts may be temporarily closed."

"So serious?" Voldemort was a little surprised.

"Everyone said that. This is the second time. In the afternoon, many owls entered the auditorium. Parents were scared. Actually, I was also a little scared." Ginny said with a frown.

"What did your parents say?" Voldemort asked. "Do they want you home too?"

"That's not true." Ginny shook her head. "They also wrote a letter, but they only said that they would choose to trust Principal Dumbledore, and..."

"And what?"

"And all the dead were Muggle wizards. Everyone said it must have something to do with Slytherin. Of course, it wasn't the Slytherin students who did it, but the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets."

"The secret room?"

"Yes, the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin legends, but everyone didn't believe it much before, but now a snake appeared and a Muggle wizard died, so..."

Voldemort nodded, a little worried about the status quo of the crown.

Perhaps it would be better not to ask him to only deal with Muggle wizards, but pure blood is his basic game.

If the pure-blood child had an accident, and the matter was finally kept on his own head—this was almost certain—then his reputation among pure-bloods would definitely be affected.

"Jerry, what are you thinking?" Ginny looked at Voldemort and asked a little excitedly, "Do you have any clues?"

"No, Ginny." Voldemort shrugged. "I think the school is dangerous. Maybe you should send me back to the library."

"Why? Didn't you just replenish your energy?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, but the energy I have accumulated is not enough to leave here for a long time again, so if you want to leave school early and you still want to take me with you, I need to go again."

Voldemort took advantage of the opportunity to find a reason for himself to go to the library again.

"Oh, let's see the situation first, Jerry, I don't think the school will be closed for the time being, after all... Principal Dumbledore is still here." Ginny said thoughtfully.

She obviously didn't want to leave Jerry for a long time like last time.

"You have to make a choice, Ginny, even if the school is not closed, you want me to be with you during the summer vacation, or you have to let me go to the library and restore more power." Voldemort said.

"I understand, Jerry, I just want you to stay with me for a while longer. The last time you left was a month." Ginny said coquettishly.

Voldemort nodded, he really had no intention of rushing to the library.

"I'll start teaching you ancient magic in two days, Ginny, and that will be very useful to you."

Ginny's eyes lit up at Voldemort's words, and her bad mood was swept away.
