Two weeks later.
Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
"Albus, are you sure the child is not in danger?" Armando Dippet asked.
Dumbledore nodded: "It's not life-threatening. It seems that Gellert needs the kid to help him open a box. The deadline is one month. He promised to let Vijay back after one month regardless of whether he opens it or not."
"I hope so." Principal Dippet murmured while looking at the cold rain outside the window: "How is the matter that Marquis Welfare is investigating?"
"There is no clue to prove that the curse that haunts the Welfare family is related to Grindelwald, and Grindelwald said that he did not know Diana, he only knew the child's father. The two seemed to have reached some kind of deal. , I’m afraid only Grindelwald and Qin Chi know the specific situation.”
"Continue to pay attention. Old Welfare is also paying attention to the trends there. I hope the curse of the Welfare family has nothing to do with him! There has been a lot of communication between the two parties during this period. I am worried about the Welfare family and Grindelwald... Hey, one month later, Go pick up the child yourself!"

"Ahhh, it's finally solved!!! The ancestors know that you are all smart, but you can't do this to deceive future generations!!"
The Luban lock has been unlocked, but there is still a small box inside the box.
Russian matryoshka doll? Is it over yet? !
Qin Weijie's face turned green.
Perhaps hearing the movement in the room, Aunt Queenie walked in and couldn't help laughing when she saw Qin Weijie's bitter look on his face.
"You are such a cute little girl..."
"Haha, don't use cute to describe boys, okay? You can praise me for being handsome, praise me for being talented, praise me for being charming..."
After two weeks of getting along, Qin Weijie has become familiar with Queenie.
Aunt Queenie is a nice person. She never participated in Grindelwald's terrorist attacks, and Grindelwald didn't force her. He just borrowed her abilities to accomplish some things at critical moments.
"Where's Uncle De? You promised to help me break through the magic barrier in one week, and it's already been half a month." Qin Weijie curled his lips and took out the small yellow-orange box in the black box, and looked at it up and down.
"I heard that something has been delayed. Hitler seems a little... In your words, it should be inflated. He asked Mr. Grindelwald to help him annex Czechoslovakia in one fell swoop. Mr. Grindelwald repeatedly tried to dissuade him in the past two days not to be too impatient, but the effect was It doesn’t seem obvious,” Queenie said.
Qin Weijie observed the yellow-orange box in front of him. The box was a cone-shaped octahedron with strange symbols painted on each side. Qin Weijie carefully wiped the dust on it and found that there was a symbol painted on each side of the octahedron. The hexagram image corresponds to the Eastern Bagua pattern.
"Oh, this is a headache. Why did Hitler cooperate with Uncle De? He seems to trust Uncle De." Qin Weijie asked while playing with the eight-sided box.
"Hitler was a squib. He longed for magic and all mystical things. It was precisely because of the influence of the pure-blood theory in the wizarding world that he paid great attention to blood. He even became a little distorted in recent years... Hey, I just think that It's because of the influence of 'that thing'..."
As she spoke, Queenie's voice suddenly stopped, as if she realized her mistake, she quickly shut up and never mentioned the topic again.
Seeing Qin Weijie lowering his head and playing with the octahedron, Queenie breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm going out first, remember to come down for dinner later."
"Yeah~"
Qin Weijie responded casually and continued to play with the octahedron in his hand.
After Queenie left, Qin Weijie put down the octahedron.
"'That thing'? Something that influenced Hitler? Distorted people's spirits and made them more stubborn?" Qin Weijie muttered.
Although he was very curious, he still adhered to the low-key mantra of "doing more is worse than doing less" and "curiosity not only kills cats, but also kills people." He suppressed the curiosity in his heart and pretended to be stupid and took a roundabout way.
If what Queenie said was of great importance, Grindelwald was afraid that he would be exposed and ended up simply putting himself under house arrest. Wouldn't he be miserable?
After lunch, Qin Weijie wanted to go back to the room to study the octahedron, but Grindelwald suddenly came back.
He probably put down what he was doing and came back after Queenie reported that Qin Weijie had opened the Luban lock.
"What's inside?"
"Another box~" Qin Weijie said honestly, casually taking out the octahedron and handing it to Grindelwald.
Looking at the mysterious patterns on the octahedron, Grindelwald smiled bitterly, threw the octahedron to Qin Weijie, and took out a jade medal with Chinese characteristics.
The jade tablet was engraved with words and hexagram symbols. Qin Weijie took a closer look and saw that the symbols on it were no longer the eight trigrams, but the hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes. There were four hexagrams in total.
They are: Feng, Fou, Meng, Zhongfu
Qin Weijie took the jade token and looked at Grindelwald curiously.
"This should be the clue to the mystery. It was obtained together with this box."
Qin Weijie observed the jade tablet. In addition to the hexagram symbols, there were also several lines of text on it. The text was simple and seemed to be written in Xiaozhuan of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Qin Weijie recognized it carefully and could roughly guess the text on it.
'In the past, during the ten days of Yao and Shun, the heaven and earth were overrun with ghosts and ghosts, and evil spirits appeared in the East Sea, disturbing the minds of all living beings. The ancient gods sacrificed their lives to suppress it, and sealed it for five thousand springs and autumns. '
Let me go, this is a big deal, this thing really comes from China, and it is related to the legend of ancient times.
Qin Weijie was also beating a drum in his heart at this time. In fact, when he saw the jade tablet, Qin Weijie already had an idea to solve the octahedron in his hand.
In Qin Weijie's view, the octahedron can be rotated like a Rubik's Cube. The eight faces correspond to the eight trigrams, and the hexagrams on the jade card are exactly composed of the eight trigrams. As long as you follow the hexagrams on the jade card, The elephant is enough to open the octahedron.
But looking at the words on the jade plaque, Qin Weijie hesitated.
Although he used to sneer at ancient legends, monsters, monsters, etc., but after he entered the magical world, he knew that this world was not as simple as imagined. Legends may be true, and myths may also be true. .
At this time, Qin Weijie had the idea of being passive and sabotaging. This thing must not be opened any further. If the evil god sealed by the ancient gods really comes to the world, he will really become a sinner.
"Can you see anything?" Grindelwald asked
Qin Weijie had a puzzled look on his face: "I'm not good at numeracy. I really don't understand these hexagrams and lines. Also, the characters on them are ancient pre-Qin characters and I can't understand them either. These characters are probably There’s nothing I can do if I can’t understand the information about this octahedron.”
