Chapter 509: Wedge Engraved in the Human Body

In the empty enclosed ward, only a long-haired woman named Agnes on the bed on one side barked from time to time.

Ryan said nothing, but just smiled at Kate.

The next second, a gray dimensional wall emerged from the air and passed through Ryan and Kate's bodies.

This is a narrow but luxurious path.

The path is winding, but the ground is paved with exquisite bricks and stones carved with various mighty and mysterious creatures.

Even though it was already afternoon, there was still snow-like fog on both sides.

Suddenly, the sea of ​​fog rolled up.

Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the sea of ​​fog.

"Are you back? Is there anything you can't say there?" The short figure waved his hand in dissatisfaction.

The mist above his head dissipated as the little short hands waved, revealing a white, round face like a porcelain doll.

It was Kate.

"Let's go," Ryan took Kate's short hand and stepped out of the fog, "I'll talk as we walk. Let me first tell you why we didn't tell Neville.

Now he is with Harry Potter and his companions, as well as Krum from Durmstrang.

Listen to Krum complaining.

I don't think it's the right time.

And wouldn’t this belated birthday gift be better as a surprise?

When he returned to the mansion where only his grandmother and grandson were staying via the Floo Network, he happened to meet his parents who had recovered.

What a happy and wonderful scene this is.”

Having said that, Ryan stopped.

The other free hand stroked the drooping branches of the oak trees by the roadside, as if stroking the face of an invisible person.

"Being a stranger in a strange land--" A strange language that Kate couldn't understand came out along with Ryan's sigh.

That's why he didn't teach Kate and the others Chinese.

There were some words, some sighs, some brief moments of vulnerability that he didn't want to share with anyone.

"what are you saying?
Are you okay, little brat?" Kate quickly came over and touched Ryan's face with concern.

Ryan shook his head and broke free from Kate’s hand, “Nothing?
Let’s talk about the Broderick Bode murder case.

Flowing water has no shape, drifting wind cannot find any trace, and the reasoning of any case depends on the heart.

And in the few seconds I walked towards the Longbottoms' bedside, I saw everything.

All of this starts with the most primitive desire of human beings - the desire for immortality. "

"Longevity? What do you mean?"

“Yes, Broderick Bode’s research touches on this.

He worked in the Brain Department of the Department of Mysteries, and they studied more than just those banal proteins in the brain.

Instead, focus on the pulse frequency waves that flicker between gray matter and white matter - thoughts.

The squirming brains in the boxes in the brain hall all have colorful tentacles. The wounds left by being entangled by them can only be healed by using Dr. Disadvantage's forgetfulness ointment to make the body forget.

And this is only the most superficial of their achievements.

The best of them even involve the transfer of mind and personality.

And Broderick Bode is stuck in this area.

But he didn't realize how far his magic could go.

But his colleague, the old wizard with the trumpet-shaped hearing aid I mentioned, is Melvin Jackson.

He knows what it can do.”

"Injecting one's own thoughts into others, thereby perpetuating one's own personality?"

“It’s close.

However, it cannot be described as injection, which is not accurate.

It's transformation.

Make the person under the curse think that he is the one who cast the curse.

My colleagues at Bode share the same idea as you.

His research area is better at stealing memories, not the crude reading of Legilimency, but as subtle as the spring breeze. He stole Bode's research results and improved them.

He can condense his personality and all his memories into a wedge engraved on the human body.

After planting it, it needs constant maintenance and adjustment.

This will take a year.

And the host himself must not know how to use brain occlumency.

When the wedge spreads, the host's thoughts and personality will become like the wedge's owner."

“Who is the host?
Is Bode's murder also related to this?"

“Bode’s murder was inevitable.

Jackson obviously wouldn't want anyone to find out that he was occupying someone else's body.

As for the host, you may be familiar with his last name - Fudge.

His name is Rufus Fudge.

Nephew of Cornelius Fudge.

Born in 1981, now 12 years old, a first-year student at Hogwarts. "

"Shouldn't he be in second grade now?"

"He turned 12 in December, and Hogwarts starts in September, so he started school this year.

If he had enrolled last year, I would have discovered it a long time ago.

Jackson had targeted him, apparently because he was the nephew of the Minister of Magic.

But you and I both know that Fudge stepped down last year."

"Last year?" Kate raised her eyebrows. "So he has turned into that old ghost Jackson?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon." Ryan snapped his fingers, and the sound of glass breaking passed by. "Okay, it's okay now."

Ryan blinked.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Like Bode, Rufus Fudge was killed two years earlier.

Kate hasn't read the Harry Potter novels, so she wouldn't understand the concepts.

The early deaths of these two people were indeed related to the adjustments made by the Ministry of Magic.

Because even though Jackson is old and even wears a trumpet-shaped hearing aid all day, he is actually in good health.

He disguised himself so that he could die appropriately after diverting his thoughts.

However, the emergence of Voldemort and the changes in the Ministry of Magic made him feel a sense of crisis, so he set his sights on Rufus Fudge.

A centrist, young, pure-blooded, and from a distinguished family.

In the original world line, the rumors of Voldemort's appearance reached the Ministry of Magic two years later.

Harry Potter announced that Voldemort had returned, and Fudge and Dumbledore broke off relations.

So according to the original world line, Jackson attacked Rufus Fudge after Harry's fourth year.

And attacked poor Bode, giving Bode a fatal gift on Christmas of Harry's fifth year.

“Did you solve it?
That wedge? " Kate didn't know what Ryan was thinking just now. Seeing Ryan's finger snaps and the unusual sound, combined with his words, she guessed so.

"Ok.

But that’s not all.

The Ministry of Magic is now acting very vigorously.

We had just returned here, less than ten minutes later, and the Aurors were already at Melvin Jackson's door.

However, he readily pleaded guilty." Ryan said, trying to suppress his smile.

“Wait, does Jackson no longer have to maintain his wedge?
He thought he had it all figured out and was just waiting to die?"

“That’s right, Kate.

But now that Azkaban has disappeared, he can only go to the new prison, the Cage, to be his cellmate with Cornelius Fudge, Umbridge, and Gilderoy Lockhart." Ryan shrugged.
