Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 348: Opinions on the Prophecy! Searching Mo Xuan's Memories!

"If you want to talk about that prophecy, then I have to say something!"

First, the prophecy didn't explicitly state that Voldemort's nemesis was Harry; second, even if this was a predetermined outcome, it couldn't stop the power of my concepts.

You believed too much in the destiny set by this prophecy, which is why you placed all your hopes on Harry.

He acts indecisively and cowardly, always thinking of compromise. On the one hand, he fears that Harry won't get the growth he wants to see; on the other hand, he's afraid that too much interference will affect the fulfillment of this prophecy.

Why are you even thinking about these things? If the outcome of this prophecy can be influenced, then this prophecy is just nonsense!

If the prophecy is destined to come true, then you shouldn't place all your hopes on Harry. The prophecy only says that Voldemort will be killed by a child who meets three criteria, but it doesn't say exactly how.

To give an extreme example, if you capture all of Voldemort's split souls, weaken them to their most vulnerable state, and then bring them to Harry so that Harry can kill Voldemort, that would still be considered fulfilling the prophecy.

If they only focus on scheming in secret and using some cowardly plots to guide Harry, even if Harry eventually kills Voldemort as prophesied, it will inevitably result in the sacrifice of a large number of friendly forces.

To achieve great things, one cannot place all hope in others, nor can one be indecisive, compromise, or hesitate, hoping to achieve one's goals without getting one's hands dirty!

Dudley explained his understanding of the messianic prophecy, while also bluntly criticizing Dumbledore's behavior before he met Dudley.

Dumbledore had been changing his mindset for almost a year and had gained a deep understanding of Dudley's character. Hearing these words now, he felt only reflection and relief.

Reflecting on his defeat of Grindelwald, he shouldn't have burdened himself with excessive mental constraints and suppressed all his brilliance out of fear that his power would bring negative changes to the world.

Fortunately, he was able to meet such a steadfast, decisive, principled, and kind-hearted friend like Dudley during a crucial moment in his later years.

Moreover, this close friend didn't hold back, using blunt and insightful words and methods to spur him to make a change.

Seeing Dumbledore's serious expression and silent reflection, Dudley softened his tone, speaking half in a consoling tone and half with a pointed meaning:

"Alright! It's all over now. I was just giving you a heads-up to remind you not to let your thoughts keep swirling around."

I don't want you to become that timid, cowering person you used to be because of some prophecy, Voldemort, or any other powerful dark wizard who can sway your emotions.

Dumbledore has already unlocked three regrettable events, and the first two are about to be perfectly resolved.

The third one, related to the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, a regrettable incident that Dudley didn't understand but respected, also needs to be addressed in advance.

Dudley wouldn't interfere with Dumbledore's personal feelings, but he couldn't allow Dumbledore's thoughts to be further stimulated by Grindelwald into any negative changes.

"Dudley, don't worry, I won't repeat the mistakes of the past," Dumbledore assured Dudley firmly.

Dudley neither confirmed nor denied it, but the serious expression on his face disappeared, and he no longer gave people the cold shoulder, and a smile returned to his face.

"No, can't you guys show me any respect? You've tied me up, and you're still chattering away in front of me, making faces and grinning like that, are you kidding me?!"

Having been bound by magic and just resurrected, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, who had been processing his shock, finally couldn't help but speak.

And once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop complaining, "Little foreigner, do you think I can't understand English? Even if I can't understand it, that's no reason for you to lecture an old man with a white beard in front of me!"

"What, trying to make an example of someone? Have you not mastered the Chinese stratagems? This isn't how you use such methods!"

Dali's face fell again. He coldly stared at Mo Xuan, the ghost cultivator who dared to speak recklessly despite being imprisoned, and without saying a word, he cast a spell:

"Drill into your heart and rip out your bones! Seal your tongue and lock your throat!"

Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was immediately enveloped in intense pain. He tried to scream, but his mouth and throat were sealed shut.

This vividly demonstrates what it means to have unspeakable suffering.

Dumbledore's attention and thoughts also shifted to the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.

He reviewed the whole situation again and began to speak:

"The one who killed the Ghost Cultivator Mo Xuan here before, and who caused this destruction together with the Ghost Cultivator Mo Xuan, should be someone from the secret cultivation world within China."

I have not received any notification from the Ministry of Magic that the Aurors have no plans to operate here today.

This suggests that it is highly likely that the criminal investigation team dispatched by China intercepted the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan here alone, without notifying us or requesting assistance from the Ministry of Magic.

This spirit of not troubling others is a characteristic of the Chinese.

Moreover, they also have the ability to handle things on their own; despite such a violent explosion, they managed to survive without a single casualty.

To be honest, this is a bit beyond my expectations.

Dumbledore had many thoughts about this.

Mo Xuan, the ghost cultivator who was suffering from the Heart-Piercing Curse and unable to speak, widened his eyes upon hearing the news that the entire Huaxia Criminal Investigation Team had survived, appearing extremely unwilling.

"It seems you were right this time."

Dudley, observing the expression on the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's face, drew a conclusion and said it to Dumbledore.

At the same time, he casually rewarded the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan with a Heart-Piercing Curse.

Back in the Albanian jungle, this guy gave him and the professors a real taste of frustration.

Now that he has the opportunity, it wouldn't be Dudley's style not to retaliate.

"Dudley, what do you plan to do with him?" Dumbledore asked.

Now that things were more or less clear, he didn't want Dali to waste any more time on someone like the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.

So I asked a pointless question that I already knew the answer to.

Because the Ghost Cultivator Mo Xuan only had two options: kill or imprison for a period of time before killing. They couldn't very well hand over the black wizard that the Chinese anti-crime team had just killed alive.

That would both slap them in the face and reveal to them that they have the means to resurrect people.

"Getting impatient?" Dudley saw through Dumbledore's thoughts and smiled slightly. "A few more minutes won't make a difference. There's still something to dig out of this man!"

Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Dudley's intention: "You want the evil soul secrets from his memories?"

"Your statement is too subjective. Soul magic is evil in his hands, but it's a different story in mine!"

Dali revealed a wicked smile and cast another Heart-Piercing Curse on the extremely uneasy ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, causing the pain to completely pierce through Mo Xuan's weakened soul defenses.

Then he raised Smetin's cane and poked it into the temple of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, slowly pulling out a thick thread of memory.

This is all of Ghost Cultivator Mo Xuan's memories related to extraordinary powers.

Dali waved his hand in a circle, opened his personal space, took out the SS-level knowledge collection book, and placed the memory threads of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan on the cover of the book.

A flash of magical light, and soon, the knowledge contained within the threads of memory was completely incorporated into the tome.

Dali casually used his magic to knead the used memory threads into a small silver-white ball, which he then threw back into the dazed ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's head like a snowball.

He then casually received a 'Spirit-Seizing Technique', which allowed him to access information about the secret cultivation world of China and the Chinese anti-crime squad from the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's memories.

"Truly remarkable. The magic weapon is sharp, and the person is not pedantic. If the captain of the Chinese anti-crime squad were to bring his people to our Hogwarts for exchange and learning, it would be a great thing."

After reading the memories of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, especially the part about the verbal clash between the righteous and demonic forces on this battlefield, Dali said with great emotion.

At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed at the nearly unconscious ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, shouting a spell filled with killing intent:

"Avada! Let's eat a melon!"
