Halfway through the game, the scores of the two sides were very close. The originally clear sky changed suddenly, gloomy dark clouds covered the sky, and a little bean-sized drop of water fell on Ji Tang's eyelids, opening the prelude to the heavy rain. In the pouring rain, the flexible bodies of the players became sluggish.

The sight was fogged by the rain, and the location of the Golden Snitch became more difficult to catch.

The referee, Lady Mariana, asked Dumbledore to suspend the game: "Something will happen if it goes on like this, neither their brooms nor their bodies can withstand this rain." ”

However, Dumbledore shook his head: "The game continues. ”

"Headmaster......" Mariana opened her mouth anxiously, but was stopped by Dumbledore with a gesture. She reluctantly returned to the field and continued to maintain order in the game.

Ji Tang felt that his body was getting more and more bulky, and the water-soaked robe increased the burden of the broom. She could sense that somewhere in the broomstick was going off, making it difficult to drive. Although she had been mentally prepared, she couldn't help but shudder slightly when she leaned over and looked down at the sky below her feet.

Suddenly, a golden snitch appeared in the corner of her vision.

The timing was good, a little better than she had imagined. Without hesitation, she accelerated and dived down. The light wheel 1000 draws a thrilling arc in the dim sky. The audience exclaimed, and Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the tiny dot.

With the same expression as him, there was a wet cat.

Sudden mutation!

Ji Tang passed by the Golden Snitch, she stretched out her hand, but she couldn't reach it. When she tried to turn, the broomstick seemed to fail, and slammed her into the ground.

100 feet, 80 feet...... She closed her eyes tightly, only to hear the wind howling and the rain falling intensively.

"Oh my God!"

"Don't-"

Screams of horror erupted in the audience, and Gina lay on the edge of the fence, biting her lower lip and crying, completely oblivious to her cat. When Ji Tang fell to just twenty feet above the ground, Dumbledore's eyes showed a faint disappointment, and he took out his wand.

"Yugadim......" He was halfway through his levitation spell when he saw a cat rush down from the stands, lifting the Animagus state and turning into a slender man in front of everyone. Covered in a black cloak, he couldn't see his face clearly, and stretched out his hands to the girl who was falling.

Dumbledore didn't put his wand down, but immediately reversed direction. The core of the Thestrals' tail feathers shimmered in the rainstorm, like the small lights of a ship sailing at sea. Only Professor McGonagall noticed his movements, and she instinctively sensed that it was a very strong spell.

In fact, there was another person watching him. Ji Tang, who was falling, clenched the handle of the broomstick, her eyes locked on Dumbledore, knowing that "that person" was close at hand, but she didn't dare to look at him more.

The moment Dumbledore finished the spell, she also rushed to the ground. Surprisingly, her broom was not completely damaged. In mid-air, she leaned over and grabbed the man's hand on the ground, shouting, "Come up! Using the force of the impact, he picked up the man and threw him behind him.

At a height of only seven feet above the ground, the Halo 1000 made a perfect U-shaped turn, carrying two people into the sky and quickly disappearing into the depths of the dark clouds.

Everyone was stunned by this twist!

Dumbledore stopped the spell just in time and lowered his wizened hand. He looked in the direction in which the two of them had disappeared and sighed softly.

"What the hell is going on...... My cat? Oslanch? Gina's mind couldn't turn, and she said incoherently, "Oh, it's good that they didn't have an accident, right?" ”-

Ji Tang's palms were slightly sweaty, although the heavy rain drenched her, she could still feel the layer of fine sweat behind her back, and ...... The body temperature of the person in the back. His hand was clasped around her waist, and she looked down to see the black leather gloves he was wearing.

"Why don't you speak?" She spoke abruptly.

The person behind him was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Tang Tang, you are too willful." His voice was like two rubbing pieces of ice, hoarse and cold, and fell on her ears, making her scalp tingle. She jerked back to meet his glassy eyes.

What kind of eyes are they, there is no temperature, and the pupils are shrunk to pitch black, which makes people shudder when they look at it.

Ji Tang almost lost his voice and screamed.

According to his actual age, he should already be a slightly old middle-aged person, and she has long been prepared for this. But she didn't expect to see such a face - still young and handsome, so white that there was no trace of popularity, like an emotionless wax figure, even the lips were gray, revealing a faint dead air.

"Horcrux...... It's a Horcrux, right? It turns you into this. She tried to reach out and touch him, but she shrank back in fear. Tears streamed down her eyes and down her cheeks. She grabbed his hand and uncovered the glove. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but cover his face and cry bitterly.

"You madman!"

The broomstick is affected by her affection and spins uncontrollably in the air. Xu Jing controlled the broom for her, holding the handle with one hand and holding her in his arms with the other. Ji Tang beat his chest and cried loudly.

In his hands, only ten fingers were left with hideous hand bones, the flesh of which melted like wax and was thinly attached to the surface of the bones.

He silently put his gloves back on.

"You're right. My family, all of them are short-lived madmen. He said, "I had to borrow the power of the Horcruxes. ”

Ji Tang was tired from crying, and struggled out of his arms angrily, wiped away his tears, took out his wand, and cast a repair spell on the broom, regaining control of the manipulation. She was determined never to look back at him again.

"Tang Tang."

"Don't call me, let me calm down."

She couldn't believe what kind of face he had lived in the past ten years, so that he didn't dare to appear in front of her.

Ji Tang took a deep breath, "Where is your Horcrux?" ”

He remained silent and did not answer.

"Don't you say yes? Then I'll find it myself! Ji Tang said with tears in his eyes, "From the beginning, I should have stopped you." It is the most evil magic in the world, destroying your body and draining your emotions and will, you know it. ”

"I know, but I can't wait...... Thirty years, if I go crazy, or if I die. He whispered, "Or, am I going to face you like this old man?" ”

"I don't mind!"

"But I don't mind." He stroked her youthful face, "I don't mind. ”

Ji Tang brushed his hand away, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what you say, it's useless, I won't continue to let the Horcruxes corrupt you." Even without Dumbledore, I can't let you be like this. ”

Xu Jing said quietly, "Dumbledore doesn't know where my Horcruxes are. ”

"Yes, he doesn't know." She clenched her hands into fists, "But I know. "So she wouldn't give him to Dumbledore, she wouldn't give him to anyone else. She was going to take matters into her own hands and destroy his Horcruxes.

Xu Jing could have stopped her, whether it was to knock her unconscious and take her away, or to take back control of the flying broomstick. But he didn't. Maybe he was tired of this life, or maybe he was also curious about her answer—in what form was that Horcrux, and where was he hiding it? -

The broomstick landed in a deserted courtyard.

When Ji Tang saw his silent expression, he knew that he had made the right bet.

The orphanage sign hanging outside the wall, the letters faded, have been drenched black by the wind and rain. The brick-red walls are covered with green vines, and the spire tiles are scattered, revealing seeping gaps. This is where they first met.

The thin child, with short black jade hair, cold and cold eyes, stood in front of her with a short body, and asked her coldly in a childlike voice, "Who are you?" Now he was dressed in a black cloak, his eyes were cold, and only when he came into contact with her, he had a brief temperature.

"Many years ago, I was here and gave you a family crest of the Oslanch family." "You buried it under this laurel tree in a tin box painted red," she said. ”

Xu Jing looked at her fixedly, watching her kneel down and dig out the box from under the tree with her hands full of mud.

The surface of the box had long since rusted to iron brown, and she carefully lifted it. There were a lot of things in it, the lace ribbon she used when she was a child, the moldy little dessert she gave him that he was reluctant to eat, the birthday card she wrote by herself...... The only thing is that there is no badge.

Ji Tang was stunned.

She turned around and saw him spread out his hand, a badge as bright as brand new resting in his palm.

"What you gave me, of course I put on me." Xu Jing looked at her, "Come on, take it from my hand." ”

Ji Tang walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and picked up the badge, and looked up at him in disbelief.

"You're half right, but I did inject my soul power into this badge." Xu Jing smiled, "Destroy it, as long as you want." It was meant to be yours. Me, too. ”

She said dryly, "Then what will happen to you?" ”

"Back to where I was." That is, the cemetery.

Her fingertips trembled, and she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket—a record of Horcrux practices in "Demystifying Cutting-Edge Dark Magic". She clenched the piece of paper and exhaled, "Actually, there is another way. ”

The rain gradually subsided, and the sun showed a corner and staggered on the laurel leaves.

She raised her face and said to him, "Let me be your Horcrux." ”
