No.42 Wand 9 (Reverse)

Recently, I was seduced by the PSP game "God Eater 2" that will be released in 13 years to revisit "God Eater", and it turned out that I really wanted to open a new pit about "God Eater", and I have been preparing the materials for the new pit with great interest......

Ahem, I repent, I'm guilty......

What happened between the young Riddle and the unicorn lacked that flavor no matter how you wrote it, so it was just a brief mention, but even if it's just a snippet, you should be able to tell what happened between the two, right?

===============================

Wand 9 (Reverse): The Hidden Problem.

Illusion ???

It seems that there is no end to the starry sky walkway, and every step of the seemingly transparent path will stir up ripples and shiny ripples, and then gradually spread and subside.

The starry sky ahead, and the road behind it, which has already been walked, has long since become a grass road woven with dots of new greenery and blooming with unknown fragrant flowers.

If there is a phoenix chirping, the melodious singing performed by an unfamiliar language makes the scene in front of you feel illusory and unrealistic.

How do I ...... Here it again is?!

Opal looked around in a bit of a daze, a little confused—she remembered it well, it was the same dream she had been the previous year. But he hadn't drunk the potion Snape had configured this time, so why did he still come here?

She remembered that she had secretly prepared a Imperius Charm to save people while Harry, Draco, and Blaise were talking to Tom, who was taking Pansy's body.

But she didn't expect that as soon as the magical light of the Imperius Curse fell on Pansy's body, the crown on her head emitted a dazzling dazzling light, and then ......

After that, she came here for some reason.

〖…… You shouldn't have come...... 〗

A melodious sigh rang out, causing Opal to go on alert almost immediately, [Who?] ]

You don't have to be afraid. 〗

This was accompanied by a creature from the road on the other side of the starry sky, and Opal immediately rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong: [How could it be...... ...... the hell you are]

The white body, the slender limbs and neck, the silver mane, the pigeon's blood-red eyes, and the long horns of the forehead as warm as jade—this image she had seen countless times in the lake, and she could not be more familiar with it.

This is clearly the mature version, her unicorn form.

I am you, but I am not you. 〗

The unicorn looked at Opal, and a familiar voice that seemed unfamiliar because of maturity remembered in her mind, "Your future and my past, my past and your future...... As a link in a closed world of a double spiral, this is the end that cannot be escaped. 〗

[What does that mean?] ]

A red cross burst out from the corner of his forehead, and Opal rubbed his temples a little weakly, [Can you tell me a word!] ]

completely understood or not, it was even more forgiving than Senior Sister Qianwei's words, which made her subconsciously think of a 10,000-year-old fox who could be regarded as an old antique at some age.

Don't tell her that her future self is such a virtuous person, she will collapse now.

What you shouldn't know now, even if you do, you'll still forget it when you leave here. 〗

It seemed to see Opal's anger at the moment, and the unicorn's eyes brought a gentle smile, 『This is a chaotic space, which is the initial point of time and space, so the past, present, and future can meet, but time will not last long. 〗

[I don't care what this place is...... In fact I want to know, why am I here?! ]

Instead of pursuing the extraneous voices she didn't want to understand at all, Opal asked what she wanted to know most at the moment.

It is an accident that you came here and an inevitability. 〗

As if reminiscent of Opal's words, the unicorn looked in a trance for a moment, but quickly recovered.

[……]

Opal only felt embarrassed at the moment.

Can she beat someone? Can I beat someone? She really wants to beat people!

Riddle is both Voldemort's past and Voldemort's future. 〗

[I know Riddle is Voldemort, but does it have anything to do with me being here?] ]

Opal clenched her fists, and had already decided that if the unicorn in front of her continued to play tricks like this, even if she had a possible future self, she would definitely be beaten!

Whether it is the past, the present, or the future, you are destined to be involved with Riddle. You made him or he made you, that's the cause and effect of the double spiral world. Knowing too early or not knowing at all doesn't really mean anything to you. Because your choice is already predestined...... 〗

I don't know if it's because of sensing Opal's thoughts, the unicorn's head nodded slightly, and several mirrors appeared out of thin air, erected around a man and a beast, but I know you will not give up, these mirrors are the past and the future that is about to happen, you can take a look. 〗

I heard you say that you are gods, but in fact, aren't you just pretending to be gods?

Opal resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and although she was wary of the so-called "mirror" because of her dreams, she couldn't restrain her desire to know about "Riddle", so she finally walked over to a mirror and looked into the mirror that didn't seem to reflect his figure at all.

[! ]

======================I'm the dividing line for the playback of the scene in the mirror================??? ???

"Opal! Opal! ”

Late at night, a teenager came to the edge of the moon lake shrouded in moonlight with a happy face.

A silver unicorn was standing there serenely in the moonlight, while the small animals that had been resting quietly around it were disturbed by the sudden visitor.

[…… Riddle...... Did anything happen that made you happy? ]

The red eyes were fixed on the black-haired and blue-eyed boy who was already standing beside it, and the look on the unicorn's face was more of a faint concern than happy.

"I know where I came from. Did you know Opal? I've checked the information...... I am one of the four founders of Hogwarts, a descendant of Slytherin. ”

The young man's expression was mixed with excitement and pride, "So my father should have a very high status in the wizarding world, I believe that I will be able to find him soon and find the family I should belong to!" ”

[Find Family...... What can we do? Riddle is still Riddle, nothing will change, will it? ]

Complex emotions flashed away in the unicorn's red eyes, but the young man, who was still immersed in excitement, did not notice it at all, and did not even pay attention to the meaning of the unicorn's words.

"Opal is a unicorn, so I don't understand that for us humans, family is very important. Not...... It's hard to explain this, after all, you magical creatures are fundamentally obedient to the continuation of the population, and even if you have an instinctive need for reproduction, you will not pursue such things as offspring or bloodline. ”

The boy was just distressed there with his own understanding, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable way to explain, so he could only wave his hand and give up, "All in all, finding my father's family is a very important thing for me. Opar, it's good that you understand it that way. ”

[To me, Riddle is Riddle, and nothing will change one way or another.] ]

Looking away at the moonlit lake, the unicorn looked solemn as if announcing something—as if it had foreseen the not-so-distant future, hinting at something that had not yet happened.

"That's natural. Like for me, Opal will always be my best and closest friend. ”

But the teenager, who didn't understand the meaning of the unicorn's words at all, was still planning for himself with great interest about the upcoming actions - how to find his father's family, how he should be recognized after returning to the family, and even how far he would go after being recognized.

The young man, who was immersed in the bright future he had planned, never saw the deep sadness and worry revealed in the red eyes of the unicorn beside him.

、???·???

"Do you know Opal? It turned out that my father was only a Muggle, and my mother was a wizard. ”

On the edge of the Moon Lake, sitting on the ground next to the unicorn, the young man who had become a little older had a dull expression like he was wearing a mask, "And my mother's family has also decayed." Gaunt ...... How many people still know about the glory of this family? ”

The unicorn lying on his side did not speak, but where the boy could not see, the red eyes that stared at him were full of tenderness and sadness.

"Her mother, who was removed from the Gaunt family because she fell in love with ordinary Muggles, and her Muggle father, who abandoned her mother, didn't even give her a name. Ha, my background is so ridiculous, an illegitimate child who is not recognized by anyone......"

After a dry laugh, the boy raised his hand to cover his eyes, "It's a shame that I was so excited when I first found out about my bloodline...... It's really a joke for Opal. ”

[Bloodline and background or something, is it really that important?] ]

Tilting his head and slightly arching the boy next to him, the unicorn's voice was gentle, [Riddle has always been Riddle, there is no doubt about that. ]

"You're thinking too simply."

This can be regarded as a relief for the unicorn, the young man leaned over and half leaned against its side, but the hand covering his eyes never let go, "But also, it is indeed too reluctant for you, as a magical creature, to understand human values." What may seem completely indifferent to you, but it is very important to me......"

[Riddle ......]

"But don't worry, Opal, I won't just give up."

As if he had made a decision, the boy lowered his hand and looked at the unicorn that had been staring at him sideways, his blue eyes were full of determination, and there was a faint murderous intent, "As the heir of the Slytherin bloodline, I will definitely reproduce the glory of this bloodline!" ”

[……]

Sadness flashed in the red eyes, and after a blink, the unicorn turned its neck and rubbed the boy at his side with his cheek, [As long as Riddle is happy.] ]

"Maybe Opal will blame me when he finds out what I've done in the future."

Hugging the unicorn's neck, the boy's voice was a little muffled, "But it's okay. For me, Opal is my best and most important friend, and that will never change. ”

[I know...... Because Riddle is Riddle, and it won't change no matter what. ]

"Hah...... Sure enough, it's what magical creatures think. ”

The young man smiled, and the hand around the unicorn's neck couldn't help but tighten slightly, "Compared to magical creatures with long lifespans, people are not immutable. But no matter how much I change, it won't hurt Opal, trust me. ”

[Well, I believe.] ]

To the boy's words, the unicorn responded so softly.

It's just that the boy can't see it, and the sadness on the unicorn's face is as good as ever.

、???·???

"Opal, you know everything, don't you?"

It was still on the edge of the Moon Lake, but this time it was replaced by a young man, perhaps because he felt betrayed, his voice trembled slightly because of anger, "Look at my jokes, do you think it's funny!" ”

[Riddle?] ]

As if he didn't understand why the young man was so angry, the unicorn standing on the edge of the Moon Lake tilted his head and looked puzzled, [What happened?] You look angry. ]

"Did you know my background before I started investigating?!"

The young man clenched his fists, as if he was trying to control his anger, "Why didn't you tell me!" You're happy to watch me run around for this, aren't you! ”

[You never asked me.] ]

The unicorn's answer did not admit it, but it did not deny it either. And the young man took it for granted that it was a tacit acquiescence, so his expression became even more angry: "I'll just say why did you suddenly appear when you entered the Forbidden Forest...... Who the hell is the owner behind you, the white-haired woman?! I want to see her! ”

[…… You...... Why do you have to see her? ]

"Of course I want to see her!"

The voice of the youth grew louder and louder, "I want to know why she sent me to an orphanage in the first place!" I want to know if she's related to my mother or my father! I want to know what she's been doing to help me all these years! ”

[Even if we do, your questions may not always be answered, and we won't meet again in the future......]

The red eyes stared at the angry youth, and finally the unicorn sighed slowly, [Still, do you still insist?] ]

"Of course!"

Clenched his fist, the young man looked at the unicorn that could be said to have grown up with him as if he was cheering himself up, but at the moment of eye contact, he looked away a little weakly, "I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark!" ”

[Well, then ......]

After taking his eyes off the youth, the unicorn closed its eyes, and a warm moonlight lit up from its body, blurring its figure.

And when the light dissipated, standing in the unicorn's original position was a slender young woman in a white robe embroidered with gold veins, with long silver hair that dragged to the ground, like a fragment of moonlight, and on her beautiful face, a pair of pigeon's blood-red eyes with a gentle gaze that was no different from that of a unicorn, looking at the young man. ]

“…… Opal you ...... It turned out to be ......"

=====================I'm the dividing line that switches back to Illusion=================

Fantasy Chaos Center

[That's ...... You? ]

Recovering from the scene in the mirror, Opal looked sideways at the unicorn that was already standing beside her.

It's me, but it's just the me Riddle remembers. 〗

This time, the unicorn didn't make a fuss, and gave a clear answer, though it made Opal's hands itch even more.

[You don't seem to have answered my previous question......]

After taking a deep breath, Opal struggled to suppress his anger, [Why am I here?] ]

As "Opal", you can't hurt "Riddle". It's an oath. 〗

As if seeing the anger in Opal's heart at the moment, the unicorn also gave a very simple answer, "You launched an attack on Riddle - even if it was just a spirit that produced consciousness and absorbed memories, it was also judged by the root to be the existence of "Riddle" - so because of the oath, the body temporarily lost the ability to move, and the consciousness entered the chaotic space. 〗

[That guy isn't Riddle!] ]

Opal subconsciously retorted, disapproving—if there was a conscious spirit, didn't she absorb one directly with the Philosopher's Stone the year before? That Philosopher's Stone is still used as fertilizer for Rosemary, the "Queen of the Roses"!

It is a direct injury. 〗

The unicorn's additional explanation made Opal understand, after all, she only borrowed the unicorn's special moonlight purification ability essence environment at the beginning last year, and only used the philosopher's stone the second time...... On both occasions, the object of direct targeting is not the consciousness itself. It was the first time she had used an attack spell on a spirit.

[What do you mean by absorbing memory?] ]

Once she had the answer she wanted, Opal moved on to another question—one that she had always had in mind.

Because they have been together since childhood, Opal is very clear

At that time, Riddle erased all his memories of "Opal" with a magical ritual. But because of this ritual, memories cannot be erased and can only be transferred. So he divided his memories into several parts and kept them in different containers. The Ravenclaw crown is one of the vessels, while the others ...... 〗

After saying this, the unicorns paused slightly, and at this moment, the road under their feet also began to ripple, and it seemed that it was time for you to wake up. 〗

[Hey!] Can you just say half of what you say! ]

As to why Riddle took out his memories, and more importantly, Opal, who had not heard anything from the other containers, was a little anxious.

When it's time for you to know, everything will understand. 〗

It's a pity that the development of reality is not diverted by her will.

So she could only watch the unicorn continue to stay in the air with a peaceful expression after saying this, while she kept falling because of the collapse of the road......
