Chapter 439 The Remains of Death in the Prophecy! Ethan: ? Old Deng, how come you're dead again?
Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets.
[Hissing...]
Its massive, dark green body, as large as undulating mountains, slowly crawled across the cold, hard floor.
Like a beacon guiding the path to death in the darkness, the orange-yellow vertical pupils stared at the suddenly fluctuating mid-air.
Its fangs, sharp enough to devour a man, bared; its muscles tensed, poised to pounce—"Whoosh!"
Ethan moved lightly through the foam.
Instead of falling to the ground, it landed on a slippery and cold surface.
Ethan looked down and met a pair of fawning eyes.

"...Little snake?"
[Hiss~~]
The basilisk flicked its tongue merrily, looking just like a dog seeing its master.
Even the tip of its tail was thrashing wildly from side to side.
He accidentally struck the stone pillar, instantly cracking a piece of the sturdy stone.
Ethan:

'
Ethan's lips twitched, revealing a hint of disgust.
He lifted his foot and slowly stepped down from the basilisk's enormous head, rubbing his neck as he murmured, "Speaking of which, I just met your relative. Uh, can I call him a relative?"
【hiss?!】
Upon hearing this...
The basilisk immediately looked as if it were facing a formidable enemy!
It rubbed its big head against Ethan's body with all its might, almost whimpering!
Why does my master smell like other snakes...? Am I not the little snake that my master loves to tame?
Hiss QAQ
Ethan: "Thinking about it this way, snake soup seems to be very nourishing..."
'
Basilisk: !!
You're mistaken, Master.
"snort."
Ethan watched as the basilisk darted back into the pipe like a giant, wriggling slime, and snorted disdainfully.
The snake is fond of people.
More than Nagini's request, Ethan was more concerned with her last words: "Take me to him."
"I feel like I've heard this phrase somewhere before."
'
Ethan thought about it, but couldn't come up with a solution.
"Never mind, let's get down to business first."
"Anyway, Nagini and Old Dumbledore's relatives have nothing to do with Death. If there's an opportunity, keep an eye on them."
then.
.
Ethan raised his hand.
A wisp of flowing gray mist appeared in the palm of his hand.
Grindelwald's innate ability, the Fog of Prediction!
"Soul fusion, blood pact, prophetic smoke, dark creature mark... and Helena will tell me about the secret core of Hogwarts after I protect Ravenclaw's crown."
"This trip was short, efficient, and incredibly rewarding!"
I'm so awesome!
Ethan smirked smugly.
Azure eyes gaze at the gray mist in the palm of his hand.
"Through the prophetic smoke, I should be able to obtain accurate clues about the other half of Death's remains."
'
Ethan took a deep breath and, as if blowing through a pipe, infused magic into the cloud of smoke.
"call""
Like a tent torn up by the wind, the gray mist suddenly rose up.
It permeated the air, forming a curtain-like presence.
"Show me clues about the other half of Death's remains... Show me clues about the other half of Death's remains..."
"7
Ethan muttered to himself, staring intently at the cloud of mist.
The gray fog seemed to tremble twice, and then a scene appeared.
rustling... rustling...
A slight scraping sound arose, as if walking barefoot on rough ground.
In the dim light, a swaying halo appeared.
"This is..
""
Ethan squinted, trying to decipher the shapes.
Gradually, like wiping away condensation on glass, the image went from blurry to clear.
rustling... rustling...
Ethan could only see clearly when the footsteps finally stopped.
Those blood-red footprints stretching all the way.
Moonlight streamed through the tall archway, illuminating the dimly lit room and outlining the blood-soaked figure.
She held up a faint candlelight, barely enough to illuminate her surroundings.
It seemed that the candlelight had no real effect on her.
Her skin was as white as snow, making one almost doubt whether there was warm blood flowing through her body.
The sight of the crimson blood stained on those bare feet was all the more shocking.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock."
Fresh blood gushed out from in front of her, slowly spreading.
In the dim moonlight, Ethan saw the figure lying sprawled before the gaunt man.
It's Dumbledore, the former headmaster of Hogwarts!
His skin was stiff and grayish-white, his eyes were staring blankly, and his silver hair had lost its former luster, covered in dirt and blood.
He lay on his back on the ruins, blood flowing down like a river.
It has already lost its vitality!
In an instant.
Ethan's breath hitched!
correct!
He remembered that in the original book, Dumbledore was supposed to die at the end of this book!
He was killed by Snape, who replaced Malfoy in his duties.
It was a predetermined death.
"I thought that with Malfoy and Snape both under my command, Dumbledore wouldn't die."
"It seems that fate won't change so easily."
Death will do everything in its power to kill Dumbledore, who is supposed to be dead!
And is the new killer the person who appeared from the gray fog...?
Ethan stared at the figure standing with his back to him in front of the old headmaster's body.
After a long pause, he slowly grinned and said, "Hehe, you really don't disappoint me, this is getting more and more interesting~"
He is the murderer who killed Dumbledore.
At the same time, according to the original requirements of the prophecy—
The thin figure with his back to him is also someone connected to the remains of the Grim Reaper!
"call!"
As if blown by the wind, the gray fog dissipated, and the image diffused in mid-air.
That figure, as the key figure in all the events, had his back to Ethan from beginning to end.
Only a blurry silhouette is shown.
"But that's enough," Ethan's eyes grew brighter, like a cat spotting a mouse. "There's one crucial characteristic that's enough for me to know this person's identity!"
That's a hunched back!
In an instant, a series of images flashed through Ethan's mind!
The little beggar you brushed past in Diagon Alley, the Slytherin freshman who inexplicably appeared in the Great Hall despite not remembering her being on the admission list...
"There's only one truth!"
Ethan conjured a pair of round glasses, pushed them up with an air of seriousness, and shouted excitedly, "The murderer is—uh!"
He suddenly got stuck.
...He doesn't seem to know the girl's name yet.
Hey.
"In short, the remains of Death, the murderer who killed Dumbledore, should be that mysterious hunchbacked girl."
Ethan casually waved his glasses away.
"The first clue to the Grim Reaper's remains was [a snake]... Is that hunchbacked girl related to [the snake]?"
"We'll find out once we ask."
Speaking of snakes.
Ethan scratched his neck and touched two bloody, knotted holes.
...These are the bite marks Nagini left behind before she left.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
Only a slight, icy burning sensation remained.
It penetrates the skin and seeps into the blood vessels, releasing an itchy sensation from the inside out.
"Wow, what a strong woman." Ethan shook his head, scratching his neck involuntarily. "She actually forced me to buy something..."
'
"However, I guess I've gotten a pretty good little buff."
[It carries an aura of curses and can disguise itself as a dark creature, confusing the sense of smell.]
"A small step in changing my aura is a giant leap for me toward ascension of flesh and blood."
Ethan clenched his fists, his eyes burning.
At this time.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of something that made him hiss involuntarily.
"I have a feeling Luna will be unhappy if she sees this mark..."
""
Ethan felt a tightness in his lower abdomen; the icy scar suddenly turned burning hot.
He stood there, activating his Ravenclaw's brilliant mind, and frowned in thought for a moment.
Finally, with a crisp "snap," he snapped his fingers.
He grinned broadly: "Haha, it was just a bite from a passionate and assertive female cursed blood beastman. Luna is so forgiving, how could she be angry?"
"Hmm, I must be overthinking it."
Just like writing down the answer decisively during every exam.
Ethan nodded with certainty and confidence.
Put this "wrong" idea out of your mind.
"We must act immediately and find that hunchbacked girl to get to the bottom of this."
Ethan lifted his foot, about to take a step.
But suddenly.
A wave of intense fatigue washed over Ethan's body!
"Thump!"
Ethan collapsed heavily to the ground, his consciousness rapidly fading into oblivion, unable to even move a finger!
"Traveling back in time...it really takes a lot of energy..."
99
At least let me report to Luna first...
Unfortunately.
Soon, Ethan fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.
I don't know at all.
After he fell asleep.
A figure, as serene and slender as moonlight, appeared in the gloom.
Blue eyes gazed at the unconscious Ethan, and lips parted slightly as she whispered, "Ethan, you've abandoned me again... and even left behind the tracks of a wild beast."
Her slender, white fingers bent down and traced the bloody hole in the neck.
Finally, tighten slowly!
"Disobedient children need to be punished."
