"The power of those few drops of blood is running out, Professor, and I'm waiting for your decision. Pen Fun www.biquge.info" Riddle said confidently, as if he was sure what Dumbledore would do, "Oh, by the way, I want you to take the ring with you the picture of my parents, it's the only one that remains, it's very memorable. ”

He bowed to Dumbledore, his misty body swaying again, and then vanished from thin air.

"Excellent, isn't it?" Dumbledore said softly, walking to the front of the cupboard, "This is fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, exactly as I remember, he is the smartest student I have ever met, he has a good grasp of the heart, he knows how to please you just right, does not bore you, and knows exactly what you need, and subtly meets your needs to get what he needs." ”

"It's also dangerous!" said Aven.

"Yes, it's also dangerous, and too much power needs to be harnessed by a stronger mind. Dumbledore said, "Unfortunately, Riddle's heart is not as strong as his strength, he has a lot of things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't care about it, he's greedy and cruel, and he's sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of dark magic." For a long time, Hogwarts only taught students how to use magic and neglected other aspects of education. ”

"Professor, do you believe what he says?" asked Aven.

"I don't think he's deceiving us, these things are good for him, there's no need for him to risk telling lies. ”

"So he's a special Horcrux, a Horcrux that has no connection to Voldemort at all with its independence?" Evan paused and continued, "Is that still a Horcrux? What's the difference between that and a new soul?"

"If everything is as he says, then it makes no difference. Dumbledore said simply, looking at the picture with interest, "He's just Tom Riddle, fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, an ambitious, thoughtful, powerful Slytherin student, not the Voldemort we know!"

"But they're the same person, and Voldemort is his future!" said Aven.

"The soul is completely split and independent, which means that he will not be affected by the main soul, he can make decisions independently, there is a lot of uncertainty about his future, and it is possible to grow into anything, Voldemort is just one of the possibilities. Dumbledore said, "Of course, there are still many things to be verified, but thankfully we still have a chance, and again, there is enough time to make a decision right away." ”

Evan blinked, not knowing what to say, and Dumbledore seemed determined to trust the other party once more.

What impact will a Tom Riddle have on the world with a fresh start?

In a sense, this incident is no less than the appearance of evil gods, and even has a greater impact on the future of the wizarding world.

If there is enough energy to support him, Riddle can come out of the ring and obtain an entity, no different from a normal person

"Look at this picture, which is full of tears, torn and reglued, and that's probably a sign of his ambivalence. Dumbledore said, picking up the picture from the drawer, "Like a normal little boy, he tried to hide his feelings for his mother, to hide that he had cried, which may have made him feel ashamed, but this is a sign that he has an independent soul, and Voldemort would not have such contradictions." ”

"Shame?!"

"Yes, we know that unlike what it appears, Riddle's real character is twisted and extreme, he hates his name, he hates his father, and at the same time, he hates his fate. "But the paradox is that he has a crazy admiration for his own bloodline, he thinks he's lucky, he doesn't have that much hatred for his mother Merope, and he even thinks she's great, yes, he thinks the things she does are stupid but just as great, it's contradictory, isn't it?"

Evan nodded, indeed contradictory.

"Believe me, Voldemort would never have had such feelings, he would have no qualms about expressing his greed, ignorance and anger, instead of trying to hide it, he didn't understand what love was, and he never put love in his eyes, let alone cry. Dumbledore said, gently stroking the tear stains on the photograph in his hand, "Even in the face of his mother, he would have no scruples, but Riddle is different, or rather, Riddle is different from the one who just appeared in front of us, he has not completely lost his humanity." ”

"Okay, Professor, so let's not destroy the ring for a while?"

"Well, he might surprise us with a little bit of an unexpected surprise, and there are places in Norway where his help is needed, and the magic left behind by Slytherin can only be activated by his descendants. Dumbledore said, his gaze turned to the ring, and a complicated look flashed across his face, "I must thank you again, Aven, if you hadn't stopped me just now, I'm afraid I'd be dead by now, there is a strong curse on it, it can take a person's life in an instant, and there is no way to break it." ”

He took out his wand and tapped the ring gently, and a green glow flashed as he said something in his mouth.

Then, he picked up the ring, and the curse on it had been unlocked by him!

"I just heard you talk to him about the Resurrection Stone, and you know a lot more than I thought!"

"I've seen descriptions of the Deathly Hallows in the Black family collection, and the Peverell family insignia on the ring, so I'm ......," Evan explained.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and you don't have to tell me everything. In fact, legends about the Deathly Hallows have been circulating for centuries and many people have tried to find them. Dumbledore said nonchalantly, "Yes, that's right, it's the Resurrection Stone, the dream of a desperate man, this stone is very dangerous, it's the bait for the foolish, and I'm such a fool." ”

"Professor, did you just see your sister?" said Aven, "I heard you call out the name Ariana. ”

"Yes, I saw her, in some form, awakened from the world of the dead by the power of the Resurrection Stone. Dumbledore said, taking a deep breath, "Ariana died for me, and I've always blamed myself deeply for it......"

"I must confess that I thought she had returned, and I thought I had finally had the opportunity to atone for her sins and confess my sins to her. Dumbledore said, his eyes blurring again, his voice choked up, "But the Resurrection Stone didn't really resurrect her, and I didn't understand that until now, it was just a desperate man's dream!"
