On Christmas night, the noise returned to silence, and the night shrouded Hogwarts Castle like a curtain.

In the ancient magical text office, Felix habitually opened the diary and talked to the young dark demon king inside.

For the past two days, he has been trying to guide him about Salazar Slytherin, but has been ripped apart.

Tonight Felix decided to adopt another strategy, he needed to carefully lay out the traps and let the young Dark King step in by himself.

For this reason, he read a lot of psychology books again.

"A pretty sensation happened today," Felix wrote.

"What is it?" asked the diary with interest. He was very distressed recently. Every time he finished the communication, the smart professor would lock him up, which completely lost his understanding of external information.

"The attack on the Slytherin Chamber was reported, and people were talking about it. Some people proposed to disband the Slytherin Academy and deprive Salazar Slytherin of all honors."

Felix felt like a big spider, carefully woven the spider web.

A string of scribbled words immediately appeared in the diary, "The ridiculous remarks are extremely absurd! Who is it? Is it Dumbledore? He has always been prejudiced to the wizards who were born in Slytherin."

Felix curled his lips and wrote with a bad taste: "It's not him, but a woman named Rita Skit, who has always been famous for choreographing rumors about celebrities."

The diary flashed with the name "Rita Skit", which looked messy and ferocious - he seemed to remember the name firmly.

In the diary, the young Tom Riddle was indeed very angry. He couldn't help but wonder if the current magical world trend was so dirty?

After a long time, the diary asked, "What? The Ministry of Magic will definitely not agree to such a ridiculous proposal!"

"Of course not, but this incident has caused a widespread discussion in Hogwarts, and many young wizards' evaluation of Salazar Slytherin - well, it can be said to be extremely negative."

The diary couldn't help but write, "Salazar Slytherin is the greatest of the four giants! However, later generations just simply evaluate him with their appearance and try their best to discredit him!"

Felix thought of the huge face in the secret room: it was an old, monkey-like face, with a sparse beard that almost dragged to the hem of the robe.

You know, it was carved by Slytherin himself, and it is not ruled out that there is a possibility of self-beautification.

He could hardly imagine what the real Slytherin looked like, especially around him, there were always all kinds of snakes spitting long letters.

Felix said relatively "objectively", "This is very telling. You must know that people always reject things they don't understand in their hearts, like Slytherin's snake-boy."

"I can't agree more, Felix Hepp, your opinion is quite insightful," the diary praised.

Felix explained modestly, "I have read some of the manuscripts of Ravenclaw, and through just a few words, you can imagine that magnificent era." He wrote with emotion: "The four most talented wizards came together and jointly created a new era in the magic world."

The diary echoed him, "That's really a history to remember." His wording became peaceful again.

But immediately, Felix commented intentionally or unintentionally, "I just don't understand why Salazar Slytherin suddenly broke up with the other three people. Is it really a disagreement of ideas? You must know that pure blood thoughts were not popular at that time."

"And he also secretly built a secret room, leaving terrifying monsters in it. I think—" Felix wrote word by word, "He is destroying his own efforts with his own hands, which is a typical dark wizard style."

In the diary, Tom Riddle couldn't help but refute him, "Maybe his secret room was not used to clear out the Muggle Wizard."

"Otherwise, Tom? I want to remind you that a lot of Slytherin's research is bloody and cruel, which affects his character."

Tom Riddle continued to refute: "But he also unveiled the fog of truth for later generations. Look at his research objects, goblins, giants, dwarves, horsemen... His research results are enough to push the group of wizards to supreme status! It only takes a small price to pay."

"Tom, are you his crazy admirer?" Felix wrote.

"No, of course not... I just partially agree with his philosophy. Wizards and humanoid creatures are different concepts, right?" The diary tried hard to make his tone more objective. "Besides, any judgment that is separated from the background of the times is hypocritical and stupid. The moral standards of wizards in that era are completely different from those now."

"What you said makes sense," Felix wrote, "but as far as I know, these precious magical materials have not been passed down, and whether they are 'great' is still unknown."

"That is indeed the 'greatest' achievement." In the diary, the young Dark Lord was obviously at the forefront, and he tried to convince Felix.

"How do you know?" Felix smiled with a sure win.

"I'm just guessing..."

"Don't lie to me, Tom! Your understanding of Salazar Slytherin is beyond my imagination, and your attitude towards him is too preserving." Felix began to close the net. "This makes me wonder if you opened the secret room? You are the real heir to Slytherin!"

He wrote word by word, with force seemingly cutting through the paper, "I need an explanation, otherwise I can only hand you over to Dumbledore."

In the diary, Tom Riddle was extremely nervous. He hated this feeling of being "see through".

After a long silence, a line of text appeared in the diary, "What do you think? Do you think I lied to you? I thought - we have established a solid friendship."

Felix wrote calmly: "That's why I gave you a chance to explain."

From the perspective of the Dark King, as long as he does not reveal the facts of the Horcrux, everything will be discussed.

The diary responded quickly and sloppyly: "Of course it's not me, I'm a Muggle, remember? I have no relationship with Salazar Slytherin."

Felix was silent, he did not reply to any words, exerting pressure a little.

Tom Riddle in the diary could not stand it, and he wrote again: "But... I want to admit that I did encounter adventures when I was in school, and yes, I gained some advanced magical knowledge."

"Is it Salazar Slytherin?" Felix asked holding his breath.

"—I guess it is." The diary replied briefly.

"Tell me, Tom, where did you put it?"

The diary was silent, and the young Dark King was quite entangled. He wanted to refuse, but the professor was too keen and forced into a corner. If he denied it, he would definitely be regarded as the murderer who opened the secret room - although he was indeed.

He hated his powerlessness more and more, and tried his best to get rid of this predicament, which made him so proud that he was about to go crazy.
