The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

The basement of Snape’s house looked much wider than the one above, but it was only relatively speaking. In particular, the iron cage placed in the corner makes it look not much wider than above.

Inside the cage were five sleeping men, all of whom shared common characteristics: Muggles, adult males, criminals – and all of them were executed prisoners. It seems that Snape still investigated more or less when picking people.

“What’s next?” Snape opened the cage and prepared to get out the few people who were sleeping inside.

Solim looked at Dumbledore: “Headmaster, have you finished reading what I gave you before the holiday?” ”

“Leave it to me next, Severus.” Dumbledore said calmly. Before the holiday, Solim gave Dumbledore the correct method of how to correctly use the Resurrection Stone and how to summon the souls of the dead. I believe Dumbledore is ready—both mentally and materially.

Snape frowned, watching as Dumbledore pulled various things out of the bag on his body. Solim noticed it, so he opened his mouth and explained: “Professor, this ritual is not only enough for the soul and the resurrection stone, but also requires other materials, of course, you know, I am a poor ghost, many of these materials are contraband, and only the principal has the way to get them all.” ”

Snape nodded, kind of accepting Solim’s explanation. Don’t look at Snape as a potions master, but there are some things he really doesn’t have the ability to get his hands on. The materials used in the ceremony are not only potion materials, but also some scarce alchemical materials, and only a great wizard like Dumbledore, who has a high reputation and a lot of connections, has the ability to collect these things completely.

When Dumbledore was ready, he took out the Resurrection Stone and handed it to Snape.

“Professor, next, you have to listen to my every word clearly, because you must not make mistakes in the next process.” Solim said to Snape solemnly.

The cloak of the soul is the body, and the cloak of consciousness is the soul. A soul without consciousness is like a body without a soul, and only if consciousness, soul, and body are complete, is a complete person. Like a fatal spell, it completely destroys a person’s soul, even if the person’s body and consciousness are still intact, but without the soul, the person is considered dead. Because what connects consciousness and body is the soul, and the body that lacks the control of consciousness is a pile of dead meat.

Solim said that this ritual is called spiritualism, but it is not accurate. But that’s what the codex says, it doesn’t matter what the ritual is called, the key is its function. With the soul as fuel and various materials, what is really summoned through the resurrection stone is not the soul, but the residual consciousness of the person who has died. Because the soul cannot communicate, only consciousness can communicate.

But since once a person dies, whether because the body is destroyed or the soul is destroyed, consciousness is affected and falls into a deep sleep—just like sleeping. But this is not ordinary slumber, it should be called eternal sleep. Just like waking up a person who is sleeping soundly, external stimuli are needed to wake up from sleep. This is especially true for consciousness that has fallen silent.

But these already silent consciousnesses, like a person who has not closed his eyes for three days and nights, can fall asleep even standing, and such a person needs external stimulation if he wants to stay awake, and these souls prepared by Snape are used to do this, by burning these souls, keeping the awakened consciousness alive, so that the situation can communicate.

While dealing with these souls and communicating with the summoned consciousness, these things can only be done by one person. Moreover, the act of burning the soul in the middle cannot be interrupted, otherwise the summoned consciousness will immediately fall into a deep sleep. And it’s not so easy to wake up.

“So, Professor, this is your only chance.” Solim said: “Consciousness is different from body and soul, it is invisible, but you who hold the resurrection stone can feel it, I and the headmaster will leave later, leaving you here alone, the various precautions of this ceremony, presumably the headmaster has already explained it to you, we will not disturb you.” Good luck. ”

After that, Solim glanced at the hesitant Dumbledore, turned around and prepared to walk to the living room. What Dumbledore was thinking about, Solim thought he could still guess a little. Arianna – Dumbledore’s heart hurts forever. Would he want to take this opportunity to apologize to his sister? But even if Dumbledore wanted to do this, it would have to be ranked behind Snape, maybe Dumbledore had a lot of material prepared, but Solim didn’t believe that Dumbledore would murder a Muggle’s soul in order to apologize to his sister – even if that Muggle was a death row prisoner. Dumbledore may not be exactly a good man, but after he suddenly repented, his moral standards were simply terrifyingly high.

Solim returned to the living room, sat down and took out the diary and put it on the coffee table, he was waiting for Dumbledore. At this time, he could talk to Dumbledore about the diary. To be honest, Solim himself was not sure whether he should turn out all of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, and when Solim weighed the pros and cons, Dumbledore sat opposite him.

Dumbledore did not look at Solim, but stared at the diary on the coffee table.

“Headmaster, this Horcrux is a little different.” Solim said: “It is a conscious Horcrux. ”

Among all of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, except for Nagini and Harry, who were originally life, this diary is the most special. Other Horcruxes seal only a part of Voldemort’s soul, and this diary not only has a soul, but also a part of Voldemort’s memory, and it is with this part of the memory that the “activity” of this Horcrux is much higher than that of other Horcruxes, and it can be said that it is a Horcrux with its own will. It actively confuses others, and it has all the memories of Voldemort’s school days—including knowledge of all kinds of magic.

Solim picked up the pen and prepared to show Dumbledore the difference in this Horcrux.

“Hello, Dark Lord.” Solim wrote this sentence.

There was no response from the diary.

Solim smiled at Dumbledore and said nothing.

“Your principal is looking at you, don’t you think it’s rude for you to ignore it like this?” After writing this sentence, Solim went on to write: “Also, don’t really think that I can’t destroy you, come out honestly.” ”

After writing this, Solim took out his wand with his left hand and gently swiped it on his right wrist. Then he dripped blood onto the diary. Compared to the way of absorbing Ginny’s life force, Solim is now using a more direct way. The vitality in fresh human blood is what this diary desires, which will make it strong.

Stopping the wound, Solim said to the diary: “Well, don’t hide.” Come out and say hello to your professor. ”

As soon as the words fell, a black aura floated out of the diary, gradually forming a human figure, but a little transparent, and you could see the scene behind him through him.

“Hello, Professor.” As a student, Voldemort said politely, “Of course, and you.” A glance at Solim, Riddle—he wasn’t quite Voldemort, was looking at Solim with a scrutinizing look.

“Hello, Tom.” Dumbledore spoke, “I really didn’t think that we would meet in this situation. ”

“It’s just a memory of when I was sixteen. It’s not a complete person. “He roughly stripped me and then roughly stuffed me into this broken book, and then I was forced to stay in this diary for an unknown number of years, and I was not released until today.” ”

“Gain sympathy … That won’t work for us, Mr. Riddle. Solim cocked his legs, “The two people sitting here know you well, so put away this trick.” ”

“And I don’t have much blood dripping on the diary, don’t waste this hard-won opportunity, I won’t do it again.” Solim finished speaking to Riddle and looked at Dumbledore on the other side.

“Then I’ll just ask, Tom, this Horcrux is you… Or that he, made at the age of 16, then … How many were he going to do at the time? ”

“You should ask him personally, I am just a 16-year-old memory that he left in his diary, and he didn’t think that way, at least I don’t know.” Riddle was expressionless.
