Sitting on the sofa in the office was the real Alastor Moody.

His right mechanical eye rotated 365 degrees several times without any blind spots.

"Dumbledore, you should have killed Barty Crouch Jr. on the spot."

He pounded the ground with his cane to vent his frustration.

"Calm down, don't let a moment of impulse ruin our plans."

As he spoke, Dumbledore sat back down in his seat.

Shen Yulou also sat down opposite Moody.

"That damn father and son."

Moody spat out a strong spit.

"The Ministry of Magic should arrest the Crouch family; they're all no good."

"It's one thing for one person to take the place of a criminal and go to jail, but the other person knows the truth and still chooses to take sides!"

"I now have serious doubts about the Ministry of Magic's electoral system."

"alright."

Dumbledore interrupted Moody's angry words.

"Don't you know what the Ministry of Magic is like now?"

"In August of this year, when Quidditch held the World Cup, the Death Eaters started a large-scale riot."

"Didn't anyone see the lush green sky and those obvious signs?"

"The Ministry of Magic has not admitted it yet, only issued some so-called statements."

“They don’t even trust me now, they’re afraid their authority will be challenged.”

Dumbledore chuckled.

"A cowardly minister, members who just get by..."

"A bunch of sons of bitches."

Moody became even angrier upon hearing Dumbledore's words.

But he was helpless, since what Dumbledore said was indeed true.

After calming down for a moment, Moody looked at Dumbledore.

"How many Horcruxes of Voldemort have you obtained by now?"

"Four."

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

"Tom Riddle's diary was destroyed when Harry was in his second year."

“I have already found the Ravenclaw tiara at the Room of Requirement.”

"After Sirius escaped from Azkaban last year, he gave me Slytherin's locket before he left."

"And this, the Gaunt ring."

Dumbledore tapped the portrait of the previous headmaster, Armando Dippet, above his head.

The old man in the painting opened his mouth, and a ring was spat out from a hidden compartment in his mouth.

Dumbledore handed the ring to Shen Yulou.

"Now all that's left is Harry, Nagini, and Hufflepuff's cup."

"Since you knew that the snake next to Voldemort was a Horcrux, why didn't you kill it beforehand?"

Where is Hufflepuff's golden cup kept?

Moody immediately perked up upon hearing this.

"Calm down."

Shen Yulou fiddled with the ring on his hand and crossed his legs.

"A person's soul can split into a maximum of seven parts, and Voldemort has only split into six parts so far."

"Do you think Voldemort wanted to split the last piece in half as well?"

"Nagini is gone, but Voldemort still has plenty of things around him that can be used as Horcruxes."

"The known is not to be feared; the unknown is what is most frightening."

Dumbledore waved his hand, telling Moody not to be so impulsive.

"And now? Has Nagini been turned into a Horcrux?"

Shen Yulou nodded.

"It was made into a Horcrux a month ago."

"Voldemort killed Bertha Jorkins."

Moody was obviously aware of the news about his Ministry of Magic colleagues' mysterious disappearances.

"Bella kept Hufflepuff's golden cup in the vault of her own Gringoire."

"Bella must have placed a location charm on something this important."

"So you're planning to..."

Moody looked at Dumbledore and Shen Yulou respectively.

"On that day, they will be destroyed in a concentrated manner."

Dumbledore carefully put away the remaining two Horcruxes.

"On that day, I will destroy all the Horcruxes I have and infiltrate Riddle Manor as quickly as possible to kill Nagini."

"I'll take responsibility for destroying this ring."

Shen Yulou tossed the cursed ring in his hand.
