Ryan licked his chapped lips and giggled for no apparent reason.

Ravenclaw closed the book and nodded with a smile. This little wizard's receptive ability was really impressive, and her painstaking teachings were not in vain.

She thought for a moment, and like a considerate teacher, left an after-school entertainment project for Ryan.

"In the 'hiding room', during the first week of school, someone threw in an interesting gadget," she said. "It's hidden under the pile of books. You can go look for it."

Ryan nodded dully. He staggered out and walked back and forth three times outside the house, muttering about "a place to hide things."

After the stone door appeared, he entered the house.

The floor was filled with messy books and expired potion bottles, as well as various cabinets and miscellaneous items.

Ryan looked at the books on the floor and sighed. Where can I find this?

He didn't know the name of that "interesting gadget", otherwise he could just use the flying spell.

Ryan had to run his somewhat stuck brain again——

He quickly noticed the incongruity in Ravenclaw's words, her emphasis on "the first week."

Ryan immediately remembered his previous experience. He went to the Room of Requirement on the first weekend, only to find someone there.

He fled the eighth floor in a hurry, mentally guessing that the person in the room was Quirrell, because he was the most abnormal person in Hogwarts.

But now he's not sure again.In fact, whether it was Dumbledore's secret following or Gwendolen's malicious intentions, I could feel the uneasy "sense of voyeurism".

However, Quirrell is a more reliable guess after all.

Because the "hiding place" itself can explain a lot of problems. This room contains Voldemort's biggest secret.

If the person who comes in is really Quirrell, who is possessed by Voldemort, then the most likely place to hide something should be...

Ryan's eyes passed through several old brooms, the corpse specimens of the trolls, the blistered surface of the cabinet, and finally stopped at the broken bust of an ugly old wizard on the top of the cabinet.

There was a rusty crown - one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

The moment his eyes touched the crown, Ryan felt in a trance.

Fortunately, his experience in dealing with Gwendelin allowed him to make the right choice right away.

Ryan's Occlumency was fully activated, using mental barriers to resist the temptation brought by the crown.

When he calmed down completely, Ryan found that he had taken several steps towards the crown.

It was indeed Voldemort's Horcrux, Ryan smacked his lips.

A feeling of fear was quickly suppressed by him using Occlumency. He was not worried about his own safety.

Since Ravenclaw reminded this room, it means that she has at least a certain understanding of the situation in the Room of Requirement.

According to Ryan's memory, the ability of the Horcrux itself is not powerful. It is more about convincing the wizard to sacrifice his soul or life.

As long as he could resist Voldemort's temptation, there wouldn't be many safety issues.And once he fails to resist, it's just a matter of the principal's spell.

The most he could do was stay at Madam Pomfrey's for a few weeks.

Ryan sighed. There may not be any intention of Ravenclaw's test in this.

He lowered his gaze, no longer looking at Ravenclaw's diadem.

Although this Horcrux exudes the temptation of "put it on me", Ryan already knows from Ravenclaw that the value of the crown has been squeezed out by Voldemort, so naturally he will not be greedy.

He lowered his head and walked towards the crown, focusing on the scattered books.

After putting the books aside in piles, Ryan finally found the "baubles" Ravenclaw called under the books in the corner of the cabinet.

It was a bronze token that Ryan was familiar with.

He had seen a similar piece at Gwendelin's place not long ago.

Ryan picked up the token, ignored the call from the crown on the top of the cabinet, and left the "hiding room".

He leaned against the portrait of silly Barnabas and looked at the token.

The obverse is similar to that of Gwendelin, with the Roman numeral "XII" at the top and a relief of a roaring lion below.

Ryan turned the token over. The reverse side was a pattern composed of large and small dots and connected lines.

Ryan immediately thought of the various constellations he studied in astronomy class. He made a "library" wish to the Room of Requirement and found a book about the constellations in it.

As he expected, No. 12 was the constellation Leo, and the star map on the back also matched perfectly.

Ryan continued to check the constellation table. He couldn't remember the specific number on Gwendolin's token, but he was deeply impressed by the relief on the token.

He found the "Sextant Seat" at No. 40 Seven and slowly smiled.

It seems that this is a set of constellation tokens. Is Gwendolen collecting these?

He rubbed the smooth surface of the token and thought about its purpose.

The key to a secret place?

Or a set of powerful attack magic weapons?

Or maybe you can summon the dragon by gathering all the sets?

Ryan shook his head. If the tokens were really made according to the constellation chart, then there would probably be 88 pieces in total.

Using 88 tokens as a key, this person either has obsessive-compulsive disorder or is too idle.

And Ryan couldn't see the value of this thing as an offensive weapon. The only thing he could think of was to shoot out a bunch of tokens with a "volley of ten thousand bullets" to cause physical damage to the enemy - it would be better to just use ready-made stones. .

Rather than these baseless conjectures, Ryan believed that the token was just a status symbol.

The original owner of this token may be from the same organization as Gwendelin.

I don’t know how the status in their organization is arranged, in the order of the 88 zodiac signs?

However, Ryan is now more curious about who the original owner of this token is and how it appeared in the Room of Requirement.

"It is indeed an 'interesting' gadget..." Ryan muttered.

Just when he stood up and put the astronomy books back on the bookshelf, the temperature of the token suddenly rose.

Ryan almost threw the token out, but its temperature quickly dropped again, then rose again, repeated back and forth several times, as if the token was "flashing".

Is this... a communication signal?

Ryan originally wanted to try to decipher the Morse code, but found that the frequency was fixed, which made him laugh a little.

That's right, wizards have no intention of delving into Muggle stuff.

He carefully observed the hot and cold token again, trying to concentrate on it.However, he suppressed his blush, but it had no effect.

It seemed that it was not a mental problem, Ryan took a breath.

He then took out his wand and placed the tip on the token.

The magic power in the body suddenly started to flow on its own, and was transferred into the token through the wand.

At this time, a man's clear voice came from the token:

"Ryan! Ryan!! Please reply if you hear me! Ryan! Are you okay?"
