Chapter 91 The Demon Devouring the Girl

Yesterday's conversation with the Bloody Baron made Mike understand a lot of things.

First of all, there must be some strange mark on his body, which can allow Lady Grey to sense him from a distance. At the same time, both Lady Grey and the Bloody Baron, two old ghosts, are very afraid of this mark.

Mike initially guessed that this mark was the raven claw mark on his face that was not visible at all. In addition, Mike really couldn't figure out what other strange things were on his body.

But if the thing that made Baron so scared was really the claw mark, then what was he afraid of? And what was the demon that Baron mentioned?

Baron said that he killed Helena not because he hated her, but to save her. What did this mean?

After the last incident, the Bloody Baron is now hiding from him like Lady Grey.

In desperation, Mike could only change the direction of investigation, that is, to find out the true identity of the girl in the dream.

With all these questions, Mike plunged into the library of Hogwarts from the next day and began to read all the history of Hogwarts since its establishment.

Fortunately, as the most famous magic school in Europe, Hogwarts itself has some responsibilities to record history. Therefore, in the rich collection of books at Hogwarts, there are many books about the history of the wizarding world, among which the history of Hogwarts is recorded in the most detail.

So when Mike searched the list of students at Hogwarts from 1870 to 1890, he easily found a suspicious person, Miriam Ravi.

The reason why Mike thought she was the person he was looking for was that there were two words written in dazzling dark red ink behind her name: missing.

After he asked Professor Flitwick, he was sure that the missing Ravi was the girl who had appeared in his dream.

Flitwick: "I have some impression of the Miriam you mentioned. Although I was not a professor at Hogwarts at that time, I was already a member of Raven's Nest. Miriam was very famous at that time because she was the one who persisted the longest in the entrance test in the past hundred years. I remember that she was only 15 years old when she joined the order. The elders of Raven's Nest were very optimistic about her, but unfortunately..."

After asking Flitwick, Mike continued to look through the Hogwarts directory and found a terrifying fact that made him shudder.

The disappearance rate and death rate of Ravenclaw girls are alarmingly high.

Since 1200 AD, the Ravenclaw chapter in the Hogwarts student directory often appears with words such as missing and death, and most of these people are women.

This is actually not surprising. After all, the wizarding world at that time was still relatively chaotic, and the probability of young wizards dying was very high. There were also many records of disappearance and death in other colleges at that time.

But the more Mike flipped back, the more he could see that something was wrong. The mortality rate of students in other colleges has been steadily declining year by year, only Ravenclaw is different. The mortality rate of female students in Ravenclaw College has not only not decreased over the years, but has increased. At the worst time, it has even reached the point where several students died in a year.

This reminded Mike of the demon that the Bloody Baron had mentioned. Could it be that there is really a demon hidden in the Hogwarts campus, devouring the lives of those young girls for thousands of years?

However, this is not all the anomalies on the list. According to the records in the list, the last Ravenclaw girl confirmed dead was named Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, who is the female ghost hiding in the girls' bathroom in the original book.

Since the death of Myrtle, there has been no record of a girl dying or missing for no reason in Hogwarts. Mike is very clear about the cause of Myrtle's death. She was killed by Voldemort using the basilisk, so strictly speaking, she is not the last girl to die at the hands of the "devil". The

real last death should be Hillary Clinton, a fifth-year Ravenclaw who died in 1935.

After Hillary Clinton's death, the "devil" disappeared as if he had been killed, which made Mike very confused.

Because according to his previous guess, the raven's claw marks should be the symbol of the "devil". Now that the raven's claw marks appeared on his face, it meant that the "devil" had not disappeared, but there had been no victims in the decades since 1935. What was the reason?

Mike sat on a long bench in the library, looking forward with empty eyes, thinking about the reason.

Two Slytherin freshmen walked past Mike, talking and laughing. While they were talking and laughing, they were holding a small flag in their hands. This was a magic flag specially made by Slytherin students for their Quidditch team. It was made of green cloth. The Slytherin emblem was painted on both sides of the flag. A silver-white python spit out its tongue and wandered on a shield. From time to time, the shield would turn over to reveal the words on the back: Go Slytherin.

Mike then remembered that he had been investigating this matter for almost a month. The Quidditch League at Hogwarts had already begun, and today was the day when Slytherin played against Hufflepuff.

It must be said that these flags were very delicately made. The silver-white python painted on them made a biting motion towards Mike when the two Slytherin freshmen passed by him.

Mike looked at the ferocious white snake in front of him, and a name emerged in his mind as if a thunderbolt had passed through, Tom Riddle.

Excited Mike hurriedly flipped through the Hogwarts student list again, and laughed at a name on it.

From 1938 to 1945, Tom Riddle studied at Hogwarts Slytherin College.

Now everything is clear. Tom Riddle is Voldemort's original name, and since Voldemort entered school, the "demon" of Ravenclaw has disappeared, until today when it appeared on him again.

So what is the connection between Voldemort and Ravenclaw?

The answer is very simple, that is the crown!

While at school, Voldemort learned the location of the tiara from Ms. Grey, so he took the tiara hidden in the Albanian forest and made it into his own Horcrux, and then hid it in the Room of Requirement.

The tiara must have a very close relationship with the demon, so the demon stopped hunting the Ravenclaw girl after Voldemort made the tiara into a Horcrux.

"No loud noises in the library!"

Mike's loud laughter not only attracted the attention of the surrounding little wizards, but also attracted Madam Pince.

Mike didn't even look at Madam Pince, and rushed out of the library in one step.
