A Horcrux, the most dangerous and evil Dark magic artifact in the world.

Compared to the vast majority of Dark magic, the most terrifying aspect of a Horcrux is that the price required to create it is not just being evil, cruel, and ruthless enough; it requires a wizard to personally shatter and split their own soul.

No matter how powerful a wizard may be, once their soul is split, it becomes extremely unstable.

Perhaps each fragment of their soul will exhibit a seemingly complete personality and memory, but from the moment the soul is shattered and split, that "person" who is the "Dark wizard" also becomes fragmented—it's closer to a phenomenon than a "person."

Even the most dangerous Dark wizards in history are rarely willing to create Horcruxes; they prefer to embrace death swiftly.

Therefore, in a sense, Voldemort's Horcruxes are very rare and precious in the magical world...

Apart from the esteemed Tom Riddle, Aliena would have a hard time finding another top wizard willing to shatter their soul and inject it into various objects, forming eternally tireless 'Horcruxes'.

If the records in the original story are accurate, there should only be six sCp-017 series Horcruxes at this time.

In order of creation, they should be: Marvolo Gaunt's Ring (02), Tom Riddle's Diary (03), Salazar Slytherin's Locket (【Number Missing】), Helga Hufflepuff's Cup (01), Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem (【Number Missing】), and "the boy who lived" Harry Potter (【Data Deleted】).

Among these, the Horcruxes with a relatively high safety factor and lower modification difficulty are actually only the Diary and the Ring.

Because these two Horcruxes were created during Tom Riddle's student days, while the remaining four were gradually created after Tom Riddle graduated from Hogwarts and became Voldemort.

However, compared to "Tom Riddle's Diary," "Marvolo Gaunt's Ring" is obviously much more dangerous.

As the first Horcrux, the spells and curses applied to the ring, which is set with the Resurrection Stone, were most likely left by Voldemort during the peak of his power—this doesn't require much complex reasoning. If it were the young Tom Riddle still studying at Hogwarts, he would never have been able to leave a curse on the ring that could endanger Dumbledore's life.

Because of this, after roughly assessing the risks and containment difficulty, she chose to hand over "Marvolo Gaunt's Ring" to the joint management of the International Confederation of Wizards and the magical ministries of various countries, and turned to searching for the other Horcruxes scattered in various locations.

And the most important of these is naturally the weakest of all Horcruxes, the "Diary."

After all, that senior Tom Riddle is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, temporarily still with a nose and a face, and knows a little bit of foreign languages ordinary juvenile delinquent. He can't even take a straight punch from Hannah.

Compared to the majestic Third Generation Dark Lord, he is just too weak.

...

London, Diagon Alley.

"So... what exactly is this?"

Draco Malfoy looked at the tattered, thin diary in Aliena's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "And—Boss, how did you know my father had this?"

When he first received Aliena's letter, Draco was a little hesitant and uncertain.

After all, from any perspective, as the current head of the pure-blood Malfoy family, his father had no contact with the Muggle world and had no reason to specifically collect an ordinary diary not produced by the magical world.

If it weren't for the help of the house-elf Dobby, he wouldn't even have known that his father had a secret storage room.

As the young master of the Malfoy family, as long as his orders did not directly conflict with his father's, Draco Malfoy could naturally ask Dobby to perform some simple "finding things" tasks, especially when there was a clear description.

However... all of this was just too scary.

As time went on, Draco Malfoy found that the distance between himself and Aliena was getting further and further. This Aliena Kaslana, who was the same age as him, seemed to be like the bright moon, rising higher and higher in the sky, becoming more and more mysterious.

"This... as you can see, a diary bought on Vauxhall Road."

Aliena replied casually, glancing at Draco, who hesitated to speak.

"Good, it seems you didn't look at this book beforehand... otherwise, you wouldn't be asking this question..."

"Didn't you mention in the letter that this thing might be dangerous and shouldn't be opened casually—after finding it, contact you immediately through an owl and hand it over to you personally as discreetly as possible?"

"That's right, and—don't use honorifics, Draco... we're friends."

Aliena raised her eyebrows, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

It must be admitted that the Malfoy family does have innate advantages and comprehension in serving the Dark Lord.

Compared to Harry, who still hasn't been able to find "Slytherin's Locket" in the Black ancestral home, Draco Malfoy's action efficiency is too satisfying, and on the other hand, he has done a good job in restraining his curiosity.

Perhaps... it's time to consider letting Malfoy join the "Third Generation Demon King Army" in advance.

"Look at this name, Draco. I think you should know what this means..."

Aliena said, casually flipping open the notebook and pointing to the blurred ink on the first page.

"t.m. Riddle? Wait... this name, I remember—"

Draco cautiously leaned closer, took a look at where Aliena was pointing, was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face changed rapidly, finally settling into a look of horror and shock, and stopped speaking subconsciously.

Since the public trial a few months ago, almost half the magical world knew Voldemort's real name.

And Draco Malfoy was very clear about his father's previous identity—moreover, there were not too many cases of the same name in the magical world, especially this kind of Muggle surname, which was even rarer in the magical world.

"Shhh—"

Aliena raised a finger to her lips, saying meaningfully.

"That's all... you don't have the ability to bear more detailed information for the time being. Knowing too much is not a good thing for you. However, Draco, there is one thing you must understand..."

"The Dark Lord has not disappeared, and one day he will return. At that time, the first people he will take revenge on will definitely not be those who were his enemies—traitors are always the most hated. If you love your parents, then only one of you and the Dark Lord are destined to survive. In this regard, you and Harry are the same..."

"As for this thing..."

Aliena shook the notebook in her hand and said softly.

"It may sound a bit bizarre, but according to Peter Pettigrew's secret confession, this is the tool the Dark Lord intends to use to threaten, control, and monitor your father. It hides the most evil Dark magic in this world."

"Dark magic? Threat?" Draco Malfoy asked nervously.

"This kind of thing is too common. I just want to say that if you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, I won't explain it much now..."

Aliena shook her finger, saying with a mysterious tone.

"In short, as long as you are clear in your mind now, you can think about it slowly later. Don't ask me about the specific reasons. There are too many people and things involved in this, and it won't do you any good to talk about it now. Just pretend you don't know. It's difficult for you to find the detailed situation on your own. The corresponding books in the Hogwarts library have been cleared... unless..."

"Unless what?"

Draco Malfoy asked subconsciously.

Aliena smiled slightly, a hint of devilish cunning flashing in her eyes, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Unless you..."
