"What's possible?" Dumbledore asked, puzzled.

Su Yu didn't continue, but instead asked, "Professor, have you ever encountered any other people or creatures that cannot be killed?"

Seeing that Dumbledore didn't speak, Su Yu said, "I once heard a legend in Tokyo, New York. In Japan, there was an evil black wizard named Orochimaru who invented a black magic called the Reincarnation of the Immortal in order to achieve immortality."

"Using this magic, he can transfer his soul into another person, thereby gaining a new, younger body."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up; this seemed somewhat similar to Voldemort's situation. He asked, "So how did the Japanese wizards deal with this... Orochimaru?"

Chapter 132 Lockhart's Suicide Attempt (Part 1)

Dumbledore was genuinely interested in the dark wizard named Orochimaru that Su Yu had mentioned.

He had been to Japan, but that was nearly a hundred years ago. He only remembered that the wizards there were particularly skilled at summoning spirits.

Horcruxes are also a type of soul magic, and judging from Su Yu's description, this Orochimaru should also be using the method of soul transfer in an attempt to achieve immortality.

"Su, how did the local Japanese sorcerers finally kill Orochimaru?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Su Yu coughed twice, trying to make his statement sound more authentic: "To be precise, Orochimaru is still alive. A local shaman invented a sealing technique to seal Orochimaru's soul."

"Sealing spell!" Dumbledore pondered the term. "Explain in detail, what conditions must be met for this sealing spell?"

Now Su Yu was at a loss. "I made this up! How am I supposed to elaborate?" Fortunately, he had another similar example, so he said:

"I don't know much about the sealing techniques in Japan, but Snape should have told you about our intrusion into the Bouncing Pot's secret realm, right?"

Dumbledore nodded: "You mean, sealing magic is actually something like a secret realm."

“That’s right, we can make a container, like a bottle or something, and then engrave soul-binding runes on it, and imprison Voldemort’s soul in it. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to sealing it?” Su Yu said, sharing his idea.

The more Dumbledore thought about it, the more feasible the method seemed. He had indeed been a bit stubborn before. Why insist on killing Voldemort? Wouldn't it be a better punishment to imprison his soul in a container?

"Can you make such a container?" Dumbledore asked excitedly.

Su Yu nodded, then shook his head: "With my current level, I can create a container to seal a soul, but I'm afraid I can't seal Voldemort's soul. I saw him last year, and his soul was extremely powerful."

"But give me more time, and I'm sure I can do it."

Seeing Su Yu's confidence, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since confirming that Voldemort had created multiple Horcruxes, Dumbledore had been under a lot of pressure.

He had been racking his brains trying to figure out how to find Voldemort's Horcruxes, but he had no clue. Just now, he remembered that Harry was also a Horcrux, which made Dumbledore's mind even more confused.

For a fleeting moment, Dumbledore even considered killing Harry, then sacrificing himself to destroy the other Horcruxes.

Anyway, I've lived for over a hundred years and witnessed the changes of the times. I have no regrets in this life. It's just a pity that Harry is still young.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu offered him another feasible solution at this moment, which eased Dumbledore's tense nerves slightly. However, a new worry then arose in Dumbledore's mind:

"But if it's just a seal, what if Voldemort finds a way to escape from the seal someday?"

Su Yu rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself, "This old man is quite the worryman." He continued, "Professor, we can place this container underground at Hogwarts and use Hogwarts Castle to power it."

"Then, regarding the task of sealing the hand, we can entrust it to each subsequent headmaster of Hogwarts to ensure that Voldemort cannot break the seal."

"Great idea, Su! You're a genius. You should start researching the sealing container as soon as possible. I'll continue searching for Horcruxes. Whether or not we can seal this guy, reducing his Horcruxes will weaken him!" Dumbledore patted Su Yu on the shoulder and made the final decision.

……

After Christmas, the children returned to Hogwarts, and Fetion quietly launched two new features: voice calls and voice messages.

Su Yu originally planned to go straight to video calls, but after thinking about it, he realized that Jarvis was still too immature, and suddenly adding such a heavy load to it might be too much for it to handle.

So they released the voice function first. This function actually existed in the wizarding world before, such as the Howl Letter, which could perfectly replicate the state of the person writing the letter.

Its greatest advantage is that the recipient no longer needs to guess the other person's emotions through the text, and can more intuitively feel the other person's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

The wizarding community has given these two features unanimous praise, and Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) even published an article praising the invention, stating that the Feather Magic Phone will lead wizards into a new era.

Other newspapers, especially The Daily Prophet, were unwilling to fawn over Su Yu, but since he held the right to use the internet, they could only offer a few token words of praise.

However, "Sing a Different Tune" takes a unique approach, not only analyzing the benefits of the magic phone but also pointing out some problems.

For example, while the magic phone seems to bring people closer together and make communication more convenient, it has clearly reduced the number of times people communicate face-to-face. In the long run, this has actually alienated people from each other.

For example, the magic phone provides those dark wizards with a more convenient and secretive communication tool, so it is recommended that Feiyu Magic Phone Factory strengthen its management in this regard, etc.

In addition to various reports, and with the lingering buzz from the recent product launch of the Feiyu brand, the Feiyu Magic Phone has become the hottest topic in the entire wizarding world.

Seeing such high traffic, Gilderoy Lockhart, a top figure in the British wizarding world, naturally couldn't sit still. Recently, his popularity has decreased significantly, and he hasn't made the headlines of any media outlet for a long time.

At 8 p.m., Su Yu was studying the Ravenclaw tiara in his office when there was a sudden knock on the door. He quickly put the tiara away and opened the door. I saw that it was Gilderoy Lockhart.

Su Yu didn't want to deal with this guy, so he blocked the doorway and said, "Professor Lockhart, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gilderoy Lockhart, however, was incredibly thick-skinned and insisted on squeezing into the room: "Junior, let me in first, I have some great news to tell you!"

"What is it?" Su Yu had no interest in this. Of all the great things this guy was talking about, 85% were unreliable, and the remaining 15% were extremely unreliable.

Gilderoy Lockhart entered, but didn't rush to speak. Seeing that Su Yu had brewed tea, he tapped his wand a few times to pour himself a cup, then said in a pretentious manner:

"Junior, I've made up my mind. In order to strengthen our friendship and help Feiyu further enhance its brand value!"

"I am Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class recipient of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award!"

"How about we become the brand ambassador for your Feiyu brand for free? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Chapter 133 Lockhart's Reckless Act (Part 2)

To be honest, Su Yu was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that when he was asking for a favor, this guy would talk as if he owed him something.

But when it comes to surprises, Su Yu really didn't feel any at all. He said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, Professor Lockhart, Feiyu doesn't need a brand ambassador at the moment."

“How could that be!” Lockhart retorted immediately. “Sue, do you know how many fans I have worldwide? Thirty-seven thousand four hundred and sixty-nine! Do you know what that number represents? It means that I have more fans than all the wizards in Britain…”

Watching Lockhart enthusiastically promote himself, Su Yu lost interest and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Lockhart, if there's nothing else, please leave. I still have research to do."

Seeing that the endorsement couldn't sway Su Yu, Lockhart changed the subject and continued, "Junior, don't be like that. I have something else to ask you. I heard that you and Snape have resolved the Chamber of Secrets issue, is that right?"

Su Yu narrowed his eyes. Not many people knew about this. He asked, "Oh? Where did you hear about it?"

Lockhart didn't answer, but laughed and said, "Hehe, I naturally have my own channels. Sue, I want to discuss with you something. My next book is going to be called 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin'."

“I know you don’t like being famous, so I’d like you to tell me the whole story in detail, and I’d like to play the role you’re in. What do you think?”

Seeing Su Yu's unfriendly expression, Lockhart continued, "I can give you 50% of the new book's revenue... no, no, 70%, all 70% of the revenue!"

Lockhart is not short of money and has little interest in it; he mainly spends his money on maintaining his public image and social life.

The books he had written before were all bestsellers, bringing Lockhart hundreds of thousands of Galleons in income each year, which was more than enough for his daily expenses and even extravagance.

Lockhart only wanted fame. He loved the feeling of being the center of attention and being the focus wherever he went, so he had to constantly create a persona for himself.

Clearly, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets—just seeing these two names is enough to attract a large number of readers; this is Lockhart's plan.

But Lockhart's words had a different meaning in Su Yu's eyes. Su Yu knew that Lockhart had used "forgetting everything" to steal the stories of several wizards and attribute them to himself.

At this moment, this guy seemed to want to do the same thing to me; I don't know where he got the courage.

Su Yu crossed his arms and looked at Lockhart with a half-smile: "If I disagree, what are you going to do?"

“Uh…” Lockhart’s smile froze on his face. “Eighty percent, eighty percent of the new book’s profits are yours, Sue. You can’t be too greedy!”

Looking at Lockhart's expression, Su Yu roughly understood that perhaps Lockhart just wanted to bribe him. Thinking about it, it made sense; attacking a professor at Hogwarts was indeed too risky.

It's a pity that Coal Ball went out to forage for food, otherwise, it would have been possible to let Coal Ball find out what this guy really thought.

"I'll say it again, I'm not interested in what you're saying, you can leave!" Su Yu was too lazy to waste any more time with this guy.

As Lockhart walked out of Su Yu's office, his face was terribly gloomy. He couldn't understand why Su Yu still wouldn't agree to his request, even though he had already humbled himself so much.

Lockhart learned about the Chamber of Secrets from Harry, Ron, and Hermione before class today. The three kids always liked to loudly plot things in the classroom.

Lockhart had been watching them for a long time, but he never expected to hear such explosive news from Harry. Unfortunately, judging from what he overheard, Harry didn't know many details, which led to Lockhart's visit to Su Yu that night.

Lockhart originally thought that with his free endorsement and 50% of the revenue share, Su Yu would agree to his cooperation request.

Who would have thought it would end like this? Lockhart thought it over again and again, and perhaps he should start with Harry. He could add some artistic elements to the things that Harry couldn't explain. After all, he was a writer, and he believed that Su Yu and Snape wouldn't really stand up and expose him.

With that in mind, Lockhart sent Harry a message: "Harry, come to my office."

Harry and Ron are working on their homework together. They've both been studying quite diligently this year and are looking forward to joining Su Yu's Raven Feathers upon graduation.

Upon receiving Lockhart's message, Harry frowned. Ron asked, "Harry, what happened?"

Harry handed the phone to Ron, and Hermione leaned closer. After seeing the message, Hermione hesitated and asked, "Why does Lockhart want to talk to you so late?"

After spending a full six months together, even Hermione had come to see Lockhart's true colors and couldn't help but complain.

Harry said, "I bet it's going to be another one where I have to reply to his fans' letters. That's so boring."

"Let's just pretend we can't see it, he doesn't know anyway!" Ron said with a grin.

But just as Ron finished speaking, Harry's phone rang. It turned out that Lockhart, unable to wait for Harry's reply, had called him directly.

"My God, is this guy a pain in the neck? Harry, don't answer him, just pretend you didn't hear him!" Ron advised Harry.

The phone rang again and again, and Harry finally answered it, worried that something might have happened to Lockhart: "Professor Lockhart, I'm sorry, I was busy just now."

"Okay, may I bring Hermione and Ron along?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Harry hung up the phone and, looking dejected at Ron and Hermione's curious eyes, said, "Let me come over right now, and it has to be by myself."

Hermione stood up, gave Harry a hug, and comforted him, "Good luck!"

Harry arrived at Lockhart's office, and to his delight, Lockhart did not ask him to reply to the fans' letters as he had done last time, but instead prepared tea and some snacks.

“Harry, tell me about the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin,” Lockhart said, pulling out a notebook.

Harry was clearly resistant and refused outright, saying, "I'm sorry, Professor Lockhart, I don't know anything about the Chamber of Secrets."

Lockhart's eyes darted around, and he said, "Don't say that, Harry. I've already spoken with Professor Su Yu. My next novel will be called 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin.' Professor Su has agreed. I'd like to hear your perspective on the events so I can better prepare for the writing process."

"Professor Su really agreed?" Harry was still a little doubtful, and he even wanted to confirm with Su Yu via Feixin.

Lockhart took out another notebook, opened it to show Harry, and urged, "Of course, I've already finished recording the story from Professor Sue's perspective, now I just need yours."

Harry wanted to take it and check it, but Lockhart had already put the notebook away. Seeing that Lockhart looked calm and didn't seem to be lying, the young Harry ultimately chose to believe him and told him everything he knew.
