Therefore, the taboo of being a bad guy is to be diverted and begin to talk when he has the upper hand.

Although it was for the sake of the plot, I don't know why the combined consciousness of this diary-kun and the crown-kun - especially attached to Pansy's body - really made me shake goosebumps......

Can I say that it was originally just intended for Harry to single out the basilisk, and then for Opal to talk to the journal and the crown-king's merger consciousness alone?

Sure enough, the characters are going berserk, sighing (Crowd: Isn't that what you wrote!) ）

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

Wands 10 (Reverse): Conspiracy.

、

Hogwarts Slytherin Vault

、

Opal, Draco, Brace, and Harry take a break at the entrance (Celestial: Is there one last chance to save the boss in a team?). Finally, after confirming that each of them had a lot of buff magic status, they walked into the long corridor together.

The hallway doesn't know where the light is coming from, so it's not like the tunnel, but the vision is still dim. Only vaguely discernible stone pillars carved with coiled serpents carved into the corridors supported the ceiling that melted into the darkness of the heights.

The light from the corridor was a faint green, giving the entire corridor an extremely eerie atmosphere.

Even Opal clenched the wand in his hand, and the other three slowly walked through the stone pillars coiled around the serpent.

Hollow and loud footsteps echoed in the empty hallways with each of their steps. But the journey was surprisingly uneventful—until they reached the last pair of pillars, when a statue as tall as the room itself appeared, clinging to the dark wall behind it.

The head of the statue had to be tilted up to see the head of the statue: it was an old wizard's face, which seemed to be somewhat eerie because of the moss and vision, a long string of whiskers that dragged down to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, and two gray stone-carved shoes peeking out of the hem and stepping on the smooth floor of the room.

About twenty meters in front of those feet, on the floor in the middle of the room, lay a thin figure in a black robe, whose hair was as red as a flame even from a long distance.

"Ginny!"

Harry was the first to react, and Brace, who was beside him, didn't have time to stop him, so he ran directly to her and half-knelt down, "Ginny! You don't want to die! Please, don't die! ”

Worried so much, he even tossed his wand aside, grabbed Ginny by the shoulder, and flipped her over.

Harry then noticed to some despair that Ginny's face was as cold and bloodless as marble, and her eyes were closed—a sign that she wasn't petrified.

Well, she must be ......

"Ginny, please wake up!"

Harry shook her desperately and pleaded in a low voice.

"She's not going to wake up."

A voice rang out softly, and it was particularly harsh throughout the empty room, startling not only Harry, who was preoccupied with Ginny, but also Opal, Draco, and Brace, who were on guard on the side, who had been thinking that Ginny was alone in this room until the sound appeared.

"Pansy?!"

The first to speak was Brace, who took a stunned step forward after seeing the figure coming out of the shadows near the statue's left foot, "What the hell are you ......doing?" Hey? Opal what are you doing?! ”

[That's not Pansy.] ]

Almost at the same time as Blaise was stepping, Opal, who was already standing in front of him to stop him, his blood-red eyes staring unblinkingly at the man who came out of the shadows, [What shall I call you?] Tom Marvolo Riddle? Still is...... Voldemort? ]

If the first name was confusing to those present, the last one could be called a shock - not only Draco and Brace were so frightened that they almost let their wands fall to the ground, but even Harry picked up Ginny as if he had been electrocuted, and then scrambled around looking for his wand.

And Pansy...... Or rather, Pansy, who was wearing a very beautiful silver crown and her slender fingers playing with Harry's wand, had a smiling look on her face: "You seem to be very calm, and you are not afraid of me at all?" ”

[Why be afraid?] ]

Compared to Blaise and Draco, who had "hell" expressions on their faces, Opal shrugged his shoulders indifferently, [If it's a deity, there may be room for discussion, but why should you be afraid?] ]

"What the hell are you talking about, Opal?!"

This is Harry, who is still confused at the moment - although he was indeed startled by the name "Voldemort" before, but after looking around, he found nothing, and the scar on his forehead did not hurt at this moment, he was indeed a little relieved, so he relocated Ginny to the wall and walked up, "What Voldemort...... Speaking of which, Opar, why did you call Pansy Tom? Oh no, that's not what needs to be cared about right now. Tom, I don't know why you're the way you are, but I need your help right now. There's a basilisk here that will come over at any moment, so I'd like you to help me get Ginny ...... from here."

However, in the end, Harry's words were due to Draco and Brace's posture of being ready for battle in front of Tom, and Opal, although he didn't say much, intentionally or unintentionally blocked his way forward.

Tom's face was visibly cold and even disdainful—a look that was even more hurtful than the one he usually saw on the faces of Slytherin students.

In the current situation, if he can't see anything wrong, then he is really a fool.

"It's strange enough to think that a Slytherin will come to save Gryffindor."

As if having discovered something funny, "Pansy", or "Tom" as it should be called now, clasped his chin in one hand around his chest and the other, and looked playfully at the person in front of him, "I didn't expect to see an adventurous combination of three Slytherins and a Gryffindor oil bottle." Doesn't it mean that Slytherin and Gryffindor are already on the same page? ”

“……”

Harry, who had been described as a "drag bottle", was unresponsive at the moment - or rather he didn't know what to do.

In fact, he genuinely felt that he was a bit redundant here.

[That doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.] ]

Turning his gaze to the black journal lying quietly at the statue's left foot, Opal's expression was unusually calm at the moment, [though I'm more curious about how you took over Pansy's body, knowing that she is unusually defensive of you.] ]

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the girl named 'Ginny'...... And, of course, thank you. ”

With a vague smile on his face and a strong sense of mockery, Tom glanced at the unconscious red-haired girl in the corner, "Although you are very vigilant and never agree to sign a contract with me, you still provide me with enough strength to recover. And this girl has discovered a part of my power hidden in the universal chamber, which is why I can use this body now - of course, it took me part of my mind to get this girl to wear this crown. ”

"What the hell did you do to Pansy!"

The person who couldn't hold his breath this time was Blaise, the knuckles of his wand were a little white, and of all the races present, if there was anyone who cared about Pansy the most, it was probably him.

"She's sleeping here."

Pointing to his brain with a smirk, Tom glanced at Brace half-narrowed, "But this body does belong to hers." If I hurt this body, I can't guarantee that the original owner of this body will not suffer any damage. ”

"Tsk!"

[Heh......]

While Brace had a look of chagrin on her face, Opal softly—or should she do it on purpose—let out a laughing consciousness, [a big man using a little girl's body...... To say that there are no problems is really a lie, right? ]

There was a subtle pause in the air, which Harry felt a little inexplicable, and Draco had a look of sudden realization, as for Brace, he couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment.

Then, very suddenly, Harry took two steps forward and said to Tom very seriously, "Tom...... What did you do to make Ginny who she is? ”

"That's an interesting question."

After glancing at Harry with interest, Tom sneered, "It's a typical Gryffindor idea not to worry about your current situation, but to pursue some small details." ”

"As you say."

It was Draco who spoke this time, but at this moment he put away his wand and bowed slightly, "If you are really that person, then on the premise of having the upper hand, why not give us the gift of answering our little doubts?" ”

"Draco!"

It didn't seem to have expected Draco to make such a move now, and Blaise's voice was full of disapproval. Even though his head was covered in cold sweat by now, it was clear that he still had Pansy as his first priority.

But he soon realized his mistake, as Tom hissed from his mouth with a sneer.

{Speak to me, Slytherin.} }

"Nope! He's opening the statue! ”

Harry, the only one in the room who could understand snake language, let out a scream.

At the same time, something slid upwards from the depths of the statue. Then the statue's mouth opened, and a behemoth unfurled its coiled body from Slytherin's mouth, and then snaked down the statue, taming to Tom's side.

It was a huge snake with an elegant green body, the scales on its body glowed with the brilliant light unique to poisonous snakes, the horns at the edge of its head had a sharp arc, and the dark red letter spat out and contracted in the air very quickly. However, its eyes were covered with a gray corneum at the moment, which was why Opal's group of four could see its appearance clearly.

“…… Oh no......"

Blaise groaned, his face pale.

If he had thought that with three (he didn't count Harry as combat power at all) against three, there might still be a chance to win, but now with one more basilisk, the odds of winning are simply negligible.

"It's a lovely kid, isn't it?"

Raising his hand and touching the basilisk that was obediently coiled beside him, Tom's expression was reserved and smug, "Although many people are afraid of it when it opens its eyes, it is indeed my best servant." ”

"Did you order it to do what happened in Hogwarts?!"

Despite a cold sweat, Harry was still in a few seconds before he forced his mouth to speak.

"It's not me, though...... But it's pretty much the same. ”

Pointing to the crown on his head and spreading his hands, Tom's expression seemed as if he was saying "I'm innocent", "Thanks to Miss Weasley's meagre self-control over there." Knowing that every time she wears a crown, she needs to consume a lot of magic and physical strength, but for the sake of excellent work standards, she still uses it without hesitation for the admiration of her classmates. Thanks to this, I regained consciousness and strength faster than I expected. ”

"Crown?! Isn't it a diary?! ”

Harry spoke subconsciously, while Draco and Brace on the side didn't know why they didn't move.

"Miss Weasley found the crown in the universal room, and my consciousness is always in the journal."

Seemingly in a good mood at the moment, Tom glanced at Harry, glanced at the scar on his forehead and slightly hooked the corner of his lips - it felt a little weird for him to do this in Pansy's way - and then turned his gaze back to the dead man, "It's just a pity that although I was provided with enough magic, the ceremony was incomplete because a certain lady refused to sign a contract with me. Luckily, I was taken out by Miss Parkinson, and she took me to Miss Weasley. Speaking of which, I'm actually curious about how this Miss Parkinson seems to know my origins very well, and if it weren't for the strength of this crown that strengthens me, it would have cost me a lot of strength to control this young lady who is unusually alert to me. ”

It's a matter of course that I'll be wary of you, right?

After all, the person who first told them that "Tom Marvolo Riddle" was "I'm Voldemort" in alphabetical order was Pansy himself!

Of course, Draco and Blaise weren't stupid enough to say anything like this, they were just trying to stall for time - after all, Opal had said that he had taken care to take down the Weasley kid before he came, and that he would be unconscious for about an hour at most, and had left a note explaining it.

"And what about Ginny! Now that you're controlling someone else, why is she still unconscious! And since you said you were taken by Miss Pansy to find Ginny, why did I pick up that journal in this old bathroom on the second floor?! ”

Harry's voice gradually increased, "Did you deliberately mislead me by showing me that clip from fifty years ago?" I thought Hagrid was the one who opened the secret room! ”

"The Weasley you care about will be unconscious, naturally because of the contract, do you think that it is so easy to get something that does not belong to your own power and knowledge? But I would have to thank her a lot, if it weren't for the fact that this young lady had given her soul and magic so stupidly that she had even helped her resist so much that she mistakenly put the crown on Miss Parkinson's head (Brace's forehead was bruised: "You bastard!"). Draco hurriedly grabbed him, "Calm me down!" I didn't go so smoothly with my plan......"

Tom's face sneered, as if to say something proud, "It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to control someone and then leave the diary in the abandoned bathroom, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly for you to pick up this diary." As for Hagrid...... Hehe, I have to admit that even I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly at that time. But also, compared to Tom Riddle, who was born poor but intelligent, whose parents were dead but wise, and whose prefect was a model student, how could anyone believe Hagrid, who was clumsy, troublesome, raised werewolf cubs under his bed, and would sneak away to fight trolls in the Forbidden Forest? ”

After a pause, Tom seemed to think of something, and his face twisted slightly, "Except for Dumbledore." He was the only one who believed Hagrid was innocent, and he persuaded the headmaster to keep Hagrid and train him to be a hunting ground warden. He was the only one who believed in Hagrid's ability to discover the Chamber of Secrets that had taken me five years to figure out. ”

"No one died this time, not even the cat."

On the one hand, he was happy to hear about Dumbledore, but on the other hand, Harry was also frustrated by the thought that Dumbledore was not in school now, but he still insisted and said, "In a few hours, Mandela herbal water will be ready, and those who have been petrified will be able to come back to life." ”

"So what?"

Tom smirked, his gaze sweeping over the dead, "Although the crown has persuaded Miss Weasley to open the Chamber of Secrets, now that I am in control, my goal is no longer to kill the useless mudbloods. At least now my purpose has been achieved. Mr. Harry, Miss Opal, my goal from the beginning was just the two of you. ”

“！” X3

Harry, as well as Draco and Brace, who had been reduced to a set board at the moment, collectively gasped.

[sorry......]

At this time, Opal, who seemed to have been wandering all the time since the beginning and did not make any sound, suddenly exhaled, and then when everyone focused their attention on her, a magical light came out from the tip of the wand that happened to be at her fingertips, and fell exactly on Tom's body, [I don't have any interest in you. ]

Imperious.Curse!
