Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

But for Aberforth Dumbledore, those three days were the happiest and best he had had in decades.

Because his beloved little sister Ariana once again came back to his side, like a shy elf, accompanying him every day, as if he had gone back in time overnight to before the tragedy.

But as the saying goes, life is made up of all kinds of pain and regret, and good times are always so short.

When the deadline came, the girl suddenly fell to the ground in pain, not only her face was pale and frightening, but her whole body was convulsing, no matter what kind of healing magic and potions worked.

"No, no, no, don't be so cruel to me! Hold on! Ariana!" Aberforth begged in panic, kneeling on the ground.

As a wizard, he could clearly feel that the life energy in the girl's body was rapidly draining. If you continue to develop in your current state, it won't take a few minutes to swallow your last breath and turn into a cold corpse.

At this critical moment, Zhang Cheng finally appeared out of thin air without hurrying, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion: "Dear friend, you still have about three minutes or so to make a choice. Tell me, are you going to abandon your poor sister once again and continue to work for Albus, or do you want to make up for that mistake decades ago so that Ariana can grow up healthy and live her life like a normal girl?"

"You...... You're a devil!, a real devil!" Aberforth roared as he glared at his blood-red eyes.

At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that this was a trap, a trap that forced himself to betray his brother.

But the problem is that he is already deep in it and has no power to break free.

The death of Ariana Dumbledore has always been the greatest pain and regret in the hearts of the two brothers, and even transcended the matter itself as time passed, becoming a strong psychological suggestion.

If he could exchange his life for his sister's resurrection, then Aberforth would certainly not hesitate even the slightest.

But now, he has to choose between two relatives, and the other will pay with his life.

There is nothing more cruel and painful than this......

"Thank you!" I would take that as a compliment. Plus, you have a minute and thirty seconds left. Zhang Cheng glanced at the pocket watch he was holding in his hand and reminded softly.

Maybe others would soften when they saw the old man's tormented eyes, but he would never be cold enough to the extreme.

"Damn! I choose Ariana! Save her!" Aberforth clenched his fists and clenched his fists in despair, seeing his sister dying.

"Very good! You made the right choice! As long as you get rid of Albus, you can take your lovely sister away from the chaos and spend the rest of your life in peace. I promise that no one will ever disturb your peaceful and quiet life again. Zhang Cheng said as he took out the prepared potion and poured it into the girl's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, this girl, who was still struggling on the line of death, quickly turned ruddy, and her physical state gradually returned to normal, except that she was still unconscious, she couldn't see anything wrong at all.

"Whew-" Aberforth breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped away his tears, and replaced it with an indifferent face that rejected people from thousands of miles away. "Tell me, what do you want me to do? ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you kill your own brother, that's cruel. Quite the opposite, I just need you to ask Albus out and put this little thing on his wrist. ”

With that, Zhang Cheng took out a silver metal bracelet from his pocket, which was inlaid with more than a dozen jadeites emitting an emerald green glow.

"What is this?" Aberforth asked, frowning subconsciously.

"A fun little thing. You don't need to know what it's for, just attach it to Albus's wrist. Don't try to play tricks, once you have a mind that you shouldn't have, it's better to think about your cute sister. Zhang Chengyi glanced at the girl who was still asleep.

"I'll do what you say, but you'd better keep your promises! If something happens to Ariana......

Before Aberforth could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng interrupted with a smile: "Relax, do you think I will do anything too much to a girl who is not a threat? No, I came with good intentions." You must know that your brother, strictly speaking, is actually a sinner of the Dumbledore family, and it was his extreme obsession with the Deathly Hallows that led to a series of tragedies that followed. Now, it's time to get rid of him and get things back on track. ”

"Hmph, whatever you want, I just want Ariana to live well. The old man sneered, picked up the girl and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

Looking at his back as he gradually faded away, Zhang Cheng suddenly turned around without warning and said to the air next to him: "Well, my prediction is correct, right? He is not qualified to refuse my request at all, let alone watch his sister die for the sake of his brother." ”

"Yes, I see it! As I've commented before, you're a real genius at playing with people's hearts, it's breathtaking. ”

With a low, hoarse voice, Voldemort appeared out of thin air on a chair not far away.

To be exact, he sat there incognito from the beginning and watched the show from beginning to end.

Zhang Cheng pretended to be modest and explained with a smile: "No, it's not how clever I am, but human beings are usually more emotional than rational when dealing with emotional issues, especially when it comes to family and love, they often can't control themselves. All I did was take advantage of the impulse that came up in a short period of time. ”

Voldemort nodded approvingly: "Interesting point! I also saw these flaws, so I abandoned all emotions and let myself become careless." ”

In my opinion, emotions are a complex thing, and despite all its flaws, it can sometimes burst out with unimaginably powerful forces. I don't see emotions as a weakness or a burden, but I also don't let them get out of hand. Finally, are you ready to make a break with Dumbledore, and if nothing else, he'll be standing in front of us in three to five days at most, with no way to escape. ”

"Hahahaha! Of course! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Voldemort laughed and opened his arms, his eyes flashing a terrifying red.

"In that case, then I will leave for a while and go to the United States on the other side of the ocean. Those pesky little bugs are too much of a hindrance, it's time to teach them an impressive lesson that in the face of absolute power, either kneel down and pray for forgiveness or all die!"
