Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 167 The Source of Fire
At the moment when Rocket Raccoon opened the cap of the pen, Su Ze could barely sense Rocket's situation with the help of the connection between himself and the pen.

This may also be a kind of application of ability. After knowing that the notebook and pen that traveled through time with him were not ordinary things, Su Ze has been studying these two items privately.

Although it is still impossible to determine their true origin and why they have become what they are today, it is still possible to use this connection to deal with some troubles.

He transformed into a king and with a wave of his hand, the mysterious ring portal opened out of thin air, connecting the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the space where Rocket Raccoon was.

The defensive spell of the Hogwarts Great Hall could not stop the Mysterious Ring Portal, which was something Su Ze had already confirmed.

Although the wizards inside Hogwarts were unable to use Apparition due to the defensive spell, it did not have much impact on Suze's portal magic.

I don't know if it's because the defense spell can't select the portal magic, or if Marvel's magic is not affected by this side.

"I've never seen magic before, very interesting."

The Horcrux Voldemort looked at the Mystic Ring portal curiously, then gently stepped through the golden light.

Su Ze ignored the Horcrux Voldemort who suddenly became studious. After passing through the portal, he quickly looked for Rocket Raccoon's trace.

The surrounding environment was very empty. It looked like a large and clean corridor. It was quiet everywhere without any sound. Su Ze couldn't be sure where he was in Hogwarts for a moment.

Just then, he noticed a furry black shadow cautiously poking its head out from the corner ahead.

"Rocket."

After calling out, Su Ze immediately walked over there.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Old man Filch just left. Don't bring him back." Rocket Raccoon jumped out quickly, put his finger in front of his mouth, and motioned Suze to lower his voice.

Seeing Rocket so nervous, Suze looked around cautiously. "Filch, shouldn't he be patrolling the library?"

Suze had met Filch on patrol before, and judging from the direction he was heading, he should be heading towards the library.

"That's what happened originally, but he's now searching the entire castle for his cat. I had a hard time shaking him off, but he almost found me," Rocket Raccoon explained.

"So that's it."

Su Ze nodded, then suddenly reacted.

Searching the castle for his cat?

Su Ze lowered his head in surprise, looked at Rocket Raccoon with a complicated expression, and asked softly.

"Wait, what did you do to Mrs. Norris?"

"I was discovered by that stupid cat when I was crawling out of the ventilation duct, but don't worry, I've already dealt with it." Rocket Raccoon noticed the change in Suze's expression and quickly added, "The tranquilizer bullet is enough to make it sleep for a night."

Su Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned his head and looked at the corner of the ceiling and the wall, where there was an open narrow passage entrance and exit.

"That's where you came from?"

Rocket Raccoon nodded and pushed his goggles up onto his forehead.

"Yes, I followed our plan all the way and followed the burning smell to track the location of the fire. If my nose is not out of order, this is where the smell is the strongest. But for some reason, as soon as I came out, there was no smell at all."

"There's a burning smell in the pipe, but it's gone when it comes out." Su Ze frowned, and then he began to look around. "Where is this in Hogwarts?"

"I don't know." Rocket Raccoon answered truthfully. "You haven't even been here, so it's even more impossible for me to know."

At this moment, the Horcrux Voldemort, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly took action.

He slowly walked up to an extremely smooth wall, his eyes filled with reminiscence and contemplation, as if he was facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

"What's wrong with him?" Rocket Raccoon noticed the actions of the Horcrux Voldemort and muttered with some curiosity.

Su Ze also saw this scene, and he immediately walked over and stood side by side with the Horcrux Voldemort. At the same time, he turned his head and looked behind him.

On the wall at the back, there was a figure of an ugly monster holding a huge club, looking like it was about to attack some unlucky guy.

His eyes fixed on the tapestry, some memories that had been dormant deep in Su Ze's mind began to slowly loosen and gushed out like a spring.

"Hey, do you know where this place is?" Rocket Raccoon asked the Horcrux Voldemort.

However, before the Horcrux Voldemort could speak, Su Ze gave the answer first.

"I think I know where this is. We are now on the eighth floor of the castle, and at the door of the most magical house in Hogwarts."

Hearing Su Ze's words, Horcrux Voldemort tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Ze meaningfully, as if he didn't expect that the guy in front of him even knew this. However, he didn't say much, but nodded to confirm Su Ze's statement.

"The Coming and Going Room is something that appears from time to time. It will only appear when the wizard needs it most, and the facilities inside are presented according to the wizard's thoughts and ideas."

The Coming and Going Room, also known as the 'Room of Requirement', is one of the most magical chambers of secrets in Hogwarts. Its founder is no longer traceable, but some people speculate that it was built by Ms. Ravenclaw.

For wizards, the Room of Requirement is like a magical building that can solve their needs. Dumbledore once activated this room because he wanted to go to the toilet, and it was filled with exquisite toilets.

But for some wizards, the Room of Requirement is also a safe where they can hide things that are important to them.

Looking at the bare wall in front of him, the Horcrux Voldemort had a grim expression, and his eyes seemed to be recalling something.

Su Ze didn't disturb him, but pulled the curious Rocket Raccoon back.

After a while, according to the conditions for activating the Room of Requirement, the Horcrux Voldemort quickly awakened this wonderful building, and in the eyes of Suze and Rocket, a stone door slowly appeared on the wall.

"Wow~"

Rocket Raccoon opened his mouth.

“Who could have imagined this?”

Su Ze did not respond, but came to the side of the Horcrux Voldemort. "Do you think the Fiendfyre started from here?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely. If the location that the raccoon tracked is correct, then this is the only place where the Fiendfyre can be ignited and where one can hide." The Horcrux Voldemort replied.

"Stop chatting nonsense. Is the fire starting here? Why don't we just open the door and take a look?"

Rocket Raccoon was not as slow as Suze and the Horcrux Voldemort. He quickly came to the gate and pushed open the stone door that was close to the wall.

With a slight sound of stone slabs rubbing against each other, the internal structure of the House of Requests finally slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision. Su Ze also calmed down and looked carefully at the interior of the House of Requests.

The interior space of the Room of Requirement looks particularly large, and is filled with all kinds of strange items, including a shabby flying broom that looks like a version that has been eliminated long ago, and some badly damaged books.

The whole house exuded a decadent smell. On several wooden tables were various bottles, jars, and crucibles, all covered with dust. It looked like they had been abandoned here for a long time.

In addition to these things, some exquisite silver and gold trophies were piled up in the corner, with shiny surfaces.

"It looks like a warehouse for storing miscellaneous items." Su Ze frowned slightly and glanced at Voldemort beside him without leaving a trace, only to see that he was slightly relieved.

Su Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed subtly.

If my guess is correct, Voldemort has opened the Ravenclaw warehouse, which most likely contains another Horcrux of Voldemort - the Ravenclaw Diadem.

It seems that after learning that a Fiendfyre had broken out in Hogwarts, the Horcrux Voldemort was somewhat worried about the other Horcrux hidden here, so he deliberately opened it to see what was going on inside.

However, judging from its current state, the Room of Requirement showed no signs of being burned by the Fierce Fire, and the items inside were intact.

"I'm afraid we are wrong. The fire did not start here." Horcrux Voldemort exhaled lightly and said calmly.

"It looks like that, but it could be that the way it was opened is different."

Su Ze shook his head slightly, then he took two steps forward and closed the door of the Room of Requirement again.

Hearing Su Ze's words, Rocket Raccoon and Horcrux Voldemort looked at Su Ze with some strange eyes, not knowing what he meant.

Su Ze didn't explain too much. He took out his notebook and pressed it against the door of the Room of Requirement. On the cover of the notebook, a smooth blue gem was emitting fluorescence.

"You are doing this?" Rocket Raccoon murmured.

Noticing the faint blue flash, it had already guessed what Su Ze was going to do.

"If this force is really what we think it is, then using the same energy to influence each other may be able to offset each other to some extent, allowing us to see the truth behind this veil."

Although it is not certain what exactly happened here, if the power affecting this place really comes from the origin of chaos, then by borrowing the power of chaotic space, perhaps a corner of the secret can be revealed.

Su Ze rubbed his fingers on the gem in the chaotic space, then exerted a little force and pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement again.

The sound of stone slabs rubbing against the ground was heard, and a crack slowly appeared in the heavy door.

The moment Su Ze pushed open the door, a tongue of fire suddenly spurted out from the gap in the door, and a heat wave instantly hit his face!
