Chapter 16 An Exploration of Riddle's Cautiousness
After class, Lockhart returned to the rest area of ​​his office as usual, and the elf Page brought dinner, including mapo tofu, Dongpo elbow, braised pork ribs, a cup of nut ice powder and three bowls of rice.

Ever since Lockhart discovered that there was a house-elf in the Hogwarts kitchen who could cook Chinese food, his appetite had been particularly good.

Tonight was the time for him to start studying Riddle's diary. After all, it was the first day of school and it was unlikely that Dumbledore would leave the school.

But just to be on the safe side, Lockhart deliberately went to the headmaster's office in the name of discussing Riddle's curse to confirm that Dumbledore had not left the school.

If you want to research dangerous dark arts or dark magic items at Hogwarts, don't hide too deep, and don't deliberately avoid Dumbledore, otherwise you will lose the last safeguard.

Hiding in the Room of Requirement where no one knows is private, but perhaps the most dangerous thing to do.

Then Lockhart went to sleep, not being lazy, he was waiting for an opportunity.

At 23:59 on the night of September [-]st, Lockhart, who was soundly asleep, was awakened by a mechanical sound, but he showed no signs of embarrassment.

"The system? It's just an alarm clock!" Thought to himself, Lockhart still listened carefully to the system's prompt.

"Phase 27149 of the main task has been completed, with a completion rate of 10000/[-].

Reward the advanced version of the three-body technique, the shadow clone technique, the animal-like transformation technique, and the living body substitute technique.

Main Quest Phase Three: You've gained enough recognition, try to gain some loyal followers among them.

Task reward: Chakra Seal, plant a Chakra Seal in other people's bodies, so that they can use your same kind of Chakra.

The current progress is 1/100.Time limit: None. "

Today is the last day of the time limit for the second phase of the main mission. Lockhart has been waiting for the system to prompt the completion of the mission. This ghost system seems to be procrastinating and insists on delaying until the end.

But the reward is still very good, Lockhart began to test the new ability in the waiting room.

In addition to the normal release of clones, the shadow clone technique can also divide one's own chakra into several physical shadow clones. These shadow clones will inherit all the abilities of the main body, and can share thoughts at close range.

After Lockhart tried it, he found that the shadow clone could also use spells, but since he didn't have a wand, the power was relatively weak, and it seemed that he couldn't take his place in class in a short time.

The shadow clone will dissipate after receiving a lot of damage or the main body actively cancels, and the memory and fatigue of the shadow clone will return to the main body during this period.

Beast transformation technique, in addition to the normal transformation, if you turn into a magical animal, you can also inherit the abilities of the magical animal. Lockhart tried to become a fire crab, and the tail really breathed fire.

In the living body substitute technique, one can exchange positions with materials prepared in advance, and one can also abandon a part of the body to resist a fatal injury.

After trying it, Lockhart found that the shadow clone can also be used as a substitute material to exchange positions or resist fatal damage.

In the third stage of the final main task, Lockhart felt that after completing this task, he should be able to give others the ability to use Chakra.

Currently there is only one loyal follower, probably Pavlovsky.

The tasks issued by this ghost system are getting more and more strange. I really don't know what its final purpose is.

Lockhart separated two shadow clones, and the shadow clone one was on standby in the innermost laboratory, ready to start studying Lockhart's diary.

The main body walked out of the office and tiptoed to the door of the principal's office while avoiding all the ghosts and Filch by relying on physical skills, and was ready to smash the door for help if the clone No. [-] had any problems.

Shadow Clone No. [-] went to the fireplace in the outermost office, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and once Lockhart's body woke up Dumbledore, he would immediately switch places with this Shadow Clone, and then directly use the Floo Powder left.

No matter how careful you are when facing Voldemort's Horcruxes, wizards like Dumbledore have fallen into the trap twice when facing Horcruxes.

First, he was injured by the magic in the ring, so his lifespan was limited and he fell into a certain death situation, and he had to drink a large bowl of venom for a fake Horcrux, which directly led to his being weakened and finally killed.

Although Lockhart has ninjutsu, he is better at fighting with physical destruction than dealing with all kinds of weird curses and soul control.

After making the preliminary preparations, Lockhart made an impromptu move and used the Transfiguration technique to transform himself into a first-year little wizard. At the same time, he used the Transfiguration technique to change the layout of the room, making it more like him a few days ago Scene in the Room of Requirement.

Applying Occlumency to himself, Lockhart cautiously opened Riddle's diary.

He filled the quill with enough ink, then opened Riddle's diary, pretended to be careless, and dropped a few large drops of ink on it.

Soon the ink was sucked in by the diary without leaving a trace, and then a line suddenly oozes out on the paper.

[Hi, I'm Tom Riddle, who are you? 】

【I'm Hamilton Ayre, are you human? 】Wait until the line on the diary disappeared, Lockhart continued to write.

The handwriting left by Lockhart was shuffled and reorganized into a few lines.

[I am not a human being, I am a magical magical item. 】

【You really are not human!Then what are you? ] Lockhart's question followed, and he deliberately made the tone childish.

【I am just a diary. The person who made me is called Tom Riddle. He left some memories, so I can communicate with you. 】The cliche answer is far worse than the old medicine in a certain ring.

[It's really great to take, can you teach me some magic?A few idiots have pissed me off lately, and I'm going to give them a hard time. ] Lockhart took the initiative to start a conversation in the grandfather mode.

[Please don't do this, it is against the school rules, and Dumbledore will expel you. 】

This time the diary replied much faster, and Lockhart guessed that he might be afraid that the little wizard would attract Dumbledore's attention and lead to its own exposure.

[No way, no way, no one really thinks that old guy Dumbledore will fire someone. 】

[Don't worry, I've read the school history. Since the death of the mysterious man, no little wizard has left Hogwarts before graduating. 】

Lockhart took the initiative to expose some information to test the diary.

This time, the diary did not reply positively, but started a rhetorical question. 【You are so brave, you must be the little wizard of Gryffindor! 】

[Don't confuse me with those idiots, I'm a noble Slytherin! ] Lockhart replied quickly, with anger in his words.

【Oh... Slytherin, the mysterious man also graduated from Slytherin, how did he die?Was it Dumbledore who beat him? 】The diary changed the topic to the mysterious man again.

[No, the mysterious man was killed by a baby 12 years ago. 】Feeling the diary's pretended unintentional curiosity, Lockhart took the initiative to reveal more information.

[It's time for class, I'm leaving first. ] After writing this sentence, Lockhart closed the diary and threw him into the closed iron box.

Lockhart didn't choose to be a fool, which would only make the diary try to control him rather than cooperate.

Instead, he pretended to be a black-bellied but inexperienced little Slytherin wizard because of his young age, so that the diary would try to induce rather than directly control, after all, how many wizards Voldemort has fooled.

Only when Voldemort believed that he was brainwashed, Lockhart had the opportunity to know the true purpose of Voldemort's soul in the diary.

In addition, Lockhart also confirmed that although this Horcrux was made when Riddle was 16 years old, the memory inside by no means ended at 16 years old. The soul knows the situation of the outside world.

But its understanding of the outside world should have ended before the diary was handed over to Lucius Malfoy. It seems that Lucius really didn't dare to write a word.

Of course, there is another situation where the diary knows everything and hides a big conspiracy. Lockhart is on the fifth floor and the diary is in the atmosphere. In this case, Lockhart can only choose to reduce the dimensionality and strike.

Come the sword!Can't solve the task triggered by the diary? Can't solve the diary that triggered the task?Eat me a Gryffindor sword.

To be on the safe side, Lockhart decided to keep the shadow clone in contact with the diary, and he would never touch it again. At the same time, he was ready to let the shadow clone call for support at the door of the principal's office.

Lockhart's main body at the door of the principal's office and the shadow clone in the lounge switched positions, allowing the shadow clone to guard the door of the principal's office, and at the same time disarmed the shadow clone communicating with the diary.

The first contact with Riddle's diary was finally over, and Lockhart didn't know whether he was fighting Voldemort or fighting wits with the air, and the exhaustion of his brain being hollowed out filled Lockhart's nerves.

Separated from two shadow clones to watch the night for him, Lockhart moved his bed to the fireplace and went to sleep with a handful of Floo powder.

That is, he couldn't let go of his face, and he was afraid that his beauty would make Dumbledore suddenly overwhelmed with love, otherwise Lockhart would have gone to the principal's office to lay the floor.

Go to bed early, early tomorrow morning, I have to test the shadow clone.
