In the evening of July 15, 1991, on the lawn of number six Privet Drive.
"Waa! Waa! Waa!"
A blond boy of about eight years old was crying loudly, his little hand still holding a lollipop - even though his palm was empty, there was nothing.
The instigator of all this - Cohen Norton, had already turned his back to the child and walked on the way home.
Cohen was a thin eleven-year-old boy with extremely neatly groomed black hair, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, and lived in number five Privet Drive.
In his hand was the fan-shaped rainbow lollipop worth fifty pence that he had just "generously" given to the neighbor's child.
"Desserts are still more pleasant - it would be better if there were no cavities."
Cohen licked the lollipop in his hand with satisfaction.
The pain caused by cavities was too far away for a child who was more diligent in changing teeth than changing cups.
Since I was reborn once, I should first enjoy the carefree and happy time of the children - and complete the task by the way.
[Ding! Goodwill +1, Sin +1]
[Note: Giving candy first and then grabbing candy is immoral behavior, and you will be condemned by your conscience]
An electronic synthesized sound rang in Cohen's ears. Of course, Cohen only "selectively" heard the first one, about the accusation of the system...
The little system, because it found that Cohen relied on loopholes to get double mall currency, it was so angry that it collapsed and cried and made a fuss, so pitiful.
The system did not appear out of thin air, and Cohen in Privet Drive certainly did not appear out of thin air.
To be precise, it was a car accident more than a month ago that brought Cohen to this familiar yet unfamiliar world. It was indeed a truck driver from another world who came to do business.
Privet Drive, the villa next door at number 4, was home to the Dursley family, and that family had a "Harry Potter" who rarely appeared outside. All the elements were complete.
Cohen instantly realized that he was in the world of the famous "Harry Potter".
As an earthling who had read the original novel several times, Cohen knew that his childhood and youth might not be so good.
After all, Harry Potter was exactly the same age as him, and he could really make objects float, disappear, and teleport with his mind. Everything in the magic world would definitely be related to him.
In this world, he also had a pair of adoptive parents who loved him very much. They were both Muggles who could not do magic. At least, there was no trace of magic in the memory of the original "Cohen".
But the world of Harry Potter was not friendly to Muggles, especially after the resurrection of the final boss Voldemort.
If he wanted to protect his parents' safety, he had two choices.
Either flee Europe as soon as possible, or kill Voldemort in advance.
I fight Voldemort? Really?
What followed was a less competent system called "Redemption System".
"Open the panel." Cohen muttered.
A broken, half-black and half-white virtual circular interface appeared in front of him.
In the middle was Cohen's simple and rough attribute panel.
[Cohen Norton]
[Race: Dementor/Human/? /? /?]
[Soul completeness: 11%]
[Special ability unlocked: None]
[Soul strength: 11]
[Current goodwill value: 1250]
[Current sin value: 250]
When Cohen just inherited the body of this eleven-year-old boy, he didn't believe it when he saw the word "Dementor".
Except for the mouth-like organs, he, as a human with a normal appearance, has nothing to do with Dementors!
But as he gradually dug into his body, a terrible truth emerged.
He seemed to be a Dementor in human skin. He could see the "soul" in people and had an irresistible hunger for souls. Especially when he was close to other people, Cohen couldn't help but want to suck a mouthful of it.
This behavior is of course dangerous, because Cohen's attempt on his sleeping adoptive father Edward Norton almost sucked out the soul of this guy.
Although Cohen stopped in time, something was still sucked out by Cohen, which could be the soul or "happiness". This thing is sweet and not greasy.
This is why Cohen always has candy with him. Eating sweets is like eating souls.
After taking a minute to accept the fact that he is a terrible Dementor, Cohen began to study this "redemption system".
First of all, the system gave Cohen a magical function that seemed useless but actually allowed Cohen to judge whether to run away first or suck the opponent's soul first after encountering an enemy.
He can see the soul strength of anyone, like a virtual digital label marked on the top of all creatures. As long as Cohen wants to see it, this number will always appear immediately.
The soul strength should be the standard for Cohen to judge whether he can devour the target soul. Cohen's adoptive father Edward's soul strength is 10, so Cohen can suck it, while Cohen's adoptive mother Rose has 20 points of soul strength, so Cohen can't suck her at all.
Cohen's soul strength is linked to the soul integrity, and Cohen's soul integrity is obviously a bit outrageous.
But at least the soul integrity can be improved, and the way to improve it is in the system's store-perhaps also sucking people's souls.
Because when Cohen sucked Edward's soul, he saw that the integrity of the soul was fluctuating. If he hadn't stopped immediately, Edward's soul would have become data on Cohen's system panel.
However, Cohen believed that he was a humanoid species full of humanity and would not do evil things like sucking the soul of his old father who worked hard to cook for his family every day.
The system has two stores, one is the "Goodwill Store" and the other is the "Sin Store". Whenever Cohen does good/bad things, the system will give "Goodwill Value" or "Sin Value" according to the impact of the event, and these system currencies can be used to buy items in the corresponding stores.
One thing the system did not expect is that after it calculated the goodwill value, Cohen turned around and ruined the good thing, it had to continue to provide Cohen with subsequent sin values, so that Cohen could easily make two profits.
The system has no way to deal with this, and can only make various indirect attacks on Cohen's behavior every time it broadcasts.
The items in the two stores are also very different. Most of the items in the Goodwill Store are normal props that look very sunny and cheerful, such as manuals and books that record various positive magic knowledge, magical animals, magical plants, and non-black magic magic props.
The props in the Sin Store appear to be much darker, with many black magic books, evil materials that are obviously prohibited items in the magic world, and even "souls".
The souls here include not only "soul fragments" worth one thousand sin points and can improve the integrity of Cohen's soul, but also the souls of living people.
[Tortured human souls]
[Collections from another world, which can be used to make a variety of evil magic items, including but not limited to 'Horcruxes', evil spirit puppets, etc.
- You can always hear the screams of souls, and maybe the next one will be you]
[Value: 7000 sin points]
This price is enough to rob 7,000 children of their lollipops. It's too evil.
So Cohen didn't buy anything in the sin store except for the "soul fragments" that increased his soul's integrity - not because he didn't have enough money.
However, the improvement of soul fragments is not optimistic.
When Cohen first came to this world, his soul integrity was 10 and his soul strength was also 10. After doing evil for so long, he finally accumulated 1,000 sin points, but his soul integrity only increased by 1%, and his strength only increased to 11 points.
As for the special ability with question marks in the middle...
I have no clue, and the system didn't respond when I asked it, which made Cohen quite doubtful about the completeness of this system.
Fortunately, the soul integrity does not seem to have any effect on Cohen's normal life, so Cohen doesn't need to rush to do bad things to make up for the soul integrity.
This means that he can enjoy the last carefree time before Hogwarts sends the admission letter.
But now, a not-so-good news came out as Cohen walked into the living room of his house.
There was a gray little owl running around frantically on the ceiling of the living room. There was only one possibility for such a thing to appear in his home-a letter from Hogwarts.
Today is Cohen's eleventh birthday. It is indeed time for Cohen to receive the admission letter, but Cohen has waited for the whole morning and has not received the letter, otherwise his "good thing" plan would not have been implemented until the afternoon.
A middle-aged man with messy light golden hair rushed towards Cohen with joy on his face, waving a thing with curled edges like parchment in his hand.
"Oh, Cohen! My baby son, you are going to Hogwarts!"
Edward, Cohen's adoptive father, has achieved nothing in his thirties. In all these months, Cohen has always known him as a househusband who stays at home every day to take care of housework. Although the dishes he cooks are not so dark, at least there is no trace of magic.
It doesn't make sense. Why would he be excited about his son's enrollment in Hogwarts, a "cold school" that the Muggle world has no news about?
You know, Edward and Rose were preparing Cohen's new school uniform for Smelting School some time ago.
According to Edward, this school is the best private school in southeast England, and he especially emphasized that Cohen would never be disappointed in terms of food - even though Cohen repeatedly emphasized that he just likes to eat desserts regularly and is not a foodie, the food is simply not worth mentioning compared to the teaching environment.
Then there is only one possibility, Edward is a wizard who deliberately concealed his family for such a long time.
Bushmen, wizards are creatures that can be sucked by Dementors so easily and then continue to sleep like dead pigs? !
Wait, that's not right...
Is the soul strength of an adult male wizard so low?
Only 10 points?
The soul strength of a Muggle is only between 5 and 10 points! (Before Cohen thought Rose's 20-point panel was a superman among Muggles)
This is only the soul strength of Cohen, a half-Dementor! Even Cohen is now 11 points!
Or is it that a normal wizard should be like his adoptive mother Rose? 20 points?
Cohen has never seen other wizards, and relying on the two samples of his parents with very different soul strengths, he can't determine what a normal wizard is like.
"Okay Edward, your voice will soon be heard in the living room of the Dursleys next door. Don't forget Dumbledore's reminder."
The woman in a violet jumpsuit walked down the stairs and criticized Edward harshly.
The woman with long brown hair is Cohen's adoptive mother Rose.
Although she is the same age as Edward, she still looks very young, with a pair of light blue pupils that are as beautiful as an elf hidden in the lake-of course, when she is fierce to Edward, she looks more like a hungry tiger.
But she is another look when facing Cohen.
"Cohen, Mom is very happy that you can enroll in Hogwarts. Your dad will tell you everything later. Mom will go to attend a seminar for a newspaper, so she may not be able to sing for you at your birthday party."
Rose leaned over, smiled and kissed Cohen's forehead. Her expression changed faster than the speed of the TV switching from BBC to ITV.
"But Mom will bring you a birthday present. Love you."
Before leaving in a hurry, Rose did not forget to remind Edward sternly, "Don't scare Cohen."
After the tigress left, the excited Edward moved Cohen to the sofa.
"Since the notice has arrived, it's time for us to confess some truths to you."
"Yeah, yeah, if there is anything you don't understand about the magic world, you can ask me."
Cohen wanted to answer like this, but when he thought about how to explain to Edward why an eleven-year-old boy who had never been exposed to magic knew about the magic world... he might as well pretend to be dumb.
"Hmm." Cohen sat on the sofa and listened obediently.
"Dad is showing his cards. Dad is a wizard, the kind who can do magic."
I also showed my cards. I am a Dementor, the kind that can suck your soul.
