Bellatrix raised his head and stared at the figure standing in front of the cell door.
A crazy smile appeared on her lips, and her voice was hoarse and sharp. "Did Dark Lord send you here?"
"No." Ian replied calmly.
"Tsk, then there is no need for you to exist." Bellatrix whispered with a sneer, his eyes flashing with crazy joy, "Only Dark Lord is qualified to be so good-looking. When he comes back, I will personally scratch your beautiful face."
Ian heard it clearly, but he didn't even frown.
His attention was no longer on her words, but on her mind - the place he had used Legilimency to spy on.
In just a moment, Ian truly understood the meaning of the word "crazy".
Bellatrix's Mind Stone is pitch black, filled with killing, torture and almost religious worship.
That morbid loyalty is almost integrated with the soul.
He frowned and raised his wand. "Book of Life, reveal."
A silver light shot out from the tip of the wand.
The light turned into complex runes and arrays, emerging around Bellatrix.
That is his latest perfect soul analysis technique - Resero Codexvita (Life Code analysis).
The moment the runes flickered, Ian understood her bloodline and soul structure.
"That's it." He murmured.
"Black family has gone through countless generations of incestuous marriages, and the bloodline has been distorted beyond repair, and even the soul has been contaminated.
And the soul affects the mind - so her madness is actually the distortion of blood and soul."
He thought of Sirius Black Blake's irritable temper and Walburga Blake's almost paranoid character.
In Bellatrix, this curse broke out completely and evolved into extreme fanaticism and cruelty.
Bellatrix, who was imprisoned by Full Body-Bind Curse, stared at him with eyes like Beast, trying to bite him, but his body remained motionless.
Ian smiled faintly.
"Let's wait until I fix her bloodline problem. The key now is how to make her loyal to me."
He waved his staff lightly, and Stunning Spell completely suppressed Bellatrix.
Immediately afterwards, he used Mental Magic to extract a translucent soul projection from her body.
The soul is suspended in the air, still trembling slightly.
Ian began to weave memories - with an almost artistic precision.
--
In this rewritten memory, young Bellatrix once received a mysterious Prophecy:
She dreamed of a city floating in the sky, with a vague figure standing on the top of the Ten Thousand Witches, and countless wizard families gathered behind her.
That man defeated the gods and demons and established an immortal order.
And she was standing next to that man - his right-hand assistant.
She spent her whole life searching for this "Lord of Destiny".
Until I met Voldemort.
He was powerful, cold, and ambitious. She thought he was the person in Prophecy.
So, she dedicated her faith, body, and even soul.
However, after Voldemort died, she unexpectedly learned while interrogating Longbottom family--
The so-called "Sorcerer Supreme" was actually Half-blood.
Bellatrix's world collapsed.
Her faith turned to ashes. She was Wrath, desperate, and disgusted with herself.
In order to punish this "foolish loyalty", she took the initiative to stay at Azkaban, waiting for the "real one" to appear.
From that day on, she pretended to be still loyal to Voldemort,
But deep down in her heart, she kept praying to fate to guide her again--
Until Ian appeared in front of her.
--
Ian took back the wand and sent her soul back to her body.
New memories took root deep in Bellatrix's soul.
This "memory rewriting" has been engraved into her Soul Coding, and no flaw can be detected by any lifting spell.
But Ian has always been cautious.
He left another hidden "sigil" deep in her soul - to prevent it from being cracked by a strong person.
Then, he set his eyes on Dark Mark on her wrist.
That was the mark left by Voldemort himself, but now in his eyes it is just an outdated symbol.
Ian raised his staff and tapped it, the symbol was instantly engulfed in white light, and its shape was reorganized.
The skull surrounded by black snakes becomes Ouroboros - symbolizing eternity;
At its center is a pyramid, symbolizing the rebirth of the soul;
A lotus flower blooms inside the pyramid, and the center of the flower is an open eye.
"Wisdom, Truth, eternal life - this is the new faith." Ian whispered.
The sigil flickered, blended into Bellatrix's soul, and disappeared completely.
From then on, this mark became a shackles that she could not detect but could never get rid of.
If one day someone tries to erase his influence in her heart,
Ian can use this seal to destroy his soul at any time.
--
After a while, Bellatrix woke up leisurely.
Her eyes were blank at first, then focused -
When she saw Ian's face clearly, tears suddenly burst into her eyes.
"My Lord... it turns out you are finally here." She knelt down excitedly, her voice trembling.
"I have been waiting for you... I have been here Hell to atone for many years for serving the wrong people."
Ian looked at her lightly.
"Get up."
Bellatrix obeyed immediately.
"Open your mouth."
She did so.
Ian waved the staff, instantly making her teeth as white as jade, and all the dirt on her body disappeared.
New wizard robes appeared out of thin air, and a soft fragrance lingered.
"Now, it looks much more respectable." Ian put away his wand and took out a space spell tool from the hidden pocket in his clothes.
"Summon: Daniela."
The air twisted, and a woman who looked exactly like Bellatrix was pulled out.
Her expression was dull and her eyes were empty, like a puppet.
That was the avatar transformed by Ian using Philosopher's Stone as a matchmaker and Alchemy--
The purpose is to keep this "Bellatrix" in Azkaban.
He ordered Daniela to huddle in the prison, and then took Bellatrix's hand.
A ball of blue flame engulfed the two of them, turning into light and shadow and dissipating.
When the flame disappears, Ian has left Azkaban.
This night, he not only got a controlled Dementors army,
He even got someone who could perform all dark tasks for him.
One who can freely shuttle between morality and madness--
Right-hand assistant.
