Chapter 789: Achilles' heel
There is no doubt that even for the wizarding world, which is full of all sorts of incredible things, resurrection from the dead is something to celebrate.
But if this person has caused a bloody storm that has made countless wizards feel terrified and everyone is in danger, then the news of his resurrection and return will become a different situation.
In fact, Zhang Cheng never deliberately concealed the news of Voldemort's return, allowing the returning Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to tell half-truths about what happened at that time, and there was Zhang Qiu's cold corpse as proof.
Although many people are reluctant to believe that Dumbledore would be so mad as to attack and kill his own students, the death of an innocent girl undoubtedly casts a shadow over the end of the Triwizard Tournament.
In particular, Severus Snape, who was a member of the Death Eaters, clearly felt the strong burning sensation brought by the dark mark on his arm, and the whole person became extremely gloomy and irritable, and wrote several letters in one breath, asking the owl to bring to the old man.
He was desperate to find out what had happened in the little more than an hour since the two boys disappeared.
Why did Harry mention Dumbledore with unforgettable pain and hatred in his eyes, just like he had when he learned that Lily Potter had been killed?
In short, with a series of news that shocked the entire British wizarding community, another semester is over.
The students of Hogwarts packed their bags and took the express train back home, unbeknownst to no one that a terrible conspiracy was brewing.
......
More than two weeks later, in Malfoy Manor, Voldemort was sitting in a chair, sipping the cellar wine offered by Lucius while watching the Death Eaters torture a few ordinary people captured from the neighborhood for fun.
After about two or three minutes, he sighed slightly and said, "Regarding what you said last time, I have already sent someone to inquire, and thermonuclear weapons are indeed very terrifying, even far beyond the limits I can imagine." Thankfully, Muggles are Muggles, and even if they invent powerful weapons, they can't resist the power of magic. It only takes a few Imperius Charms for us to take control of these weapons. ”
That's right, and that's the heart of my plan. In order to ensure the deterrence of each other, the great powers have hoarded enough nuclear warheads to destroy the world several times or even dozens of times, and we only need to control the two countries with the largest reserves, the United States and Russia, to restart the whole world. How about it, have you thought about it, and if you can, I would like you to personally take someone to Russia. Zhang Chengyi said tentatively.
So far, he wasn't quite sure if the other party really approved of his plan to destroy the world.
You must know that killing billions of people is a completely different concept from killing dozens of people.
Once the former is done, it is almost equivalent to annihilating humanity and permanently and completely excluding oneself from the human category.
"Don't worry, my friend. Until then, I hope to get rid of Dumbledore first. You don't understand that as long as he is alive, it is a great threat to our plans. Voldemort drank the wine from his glass in one gulp, his eyes flashing a terrifying red.
"I have a good suggestion for Dumbledore. Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and smiled playfully.
"Oh, let's hear it!" Voldemort was immediately intrigued when he heard about Dumbledore.
It has to be said that due to the relatively sparse population of the wizarding world, most wizards have a very limited vision. Both he and Gellert Grindelwald were so focused on falling in love with Dumbledore that they neglected anything else.
But Zhang Cheng is different, he stands on a very high place from the beginning, looking down on this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, and knows very well what he needs.
After a moment of silence, he quickly whispered, "You know that Albus actually has a brother named Aberforth, who has been lurking in Hogmodri as a bar owner to find out the news for his brother. As far as I know, he didn't have a good relationship with his brother, and even had a violent conflict over his sister. Imagine if we could resurrect Ariana Dumbledore and use it as a threat, what choice would he make?"
"Hahahaha! Great! A civil war between the Dumbledores! Is there anything more interesting in the world than this? and even uncover the most painful scar in that old fellow's heart!" Voldemort laughed happily, but after a while he shook his head helplessly. "But resurrecting a person who has been dead for many years seems to be a little difficult, at least I can't do it. ”
"No, no, no, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. We don't need to resurrect Ariana Dumbledore, we just need to use genetic technology to clone a girl who looks exactly like her, and then instill some memories and consciousness to make them think that they are Ariana. Many times, intense feelings can make people lose their minds, and with a little utilization, unexpected results can be obtained. ”
When he said this, Zhang Cheng showed an extremely sarcastic expression on his face.
Many people may not know that Dumbledore in his youth was not much different from Voldemort and Gellert Grindelwald, both of whom were equally keen on power, status, and fame, and even became so obsessed with Deathly Hallows that they ignored the condition of their own sister.
Later, it was the death of his sister that greatly stimulated the talented wizard, and I don't know if it was because of guilt or some other reason, so that he finally embarked on another path in life.
As a person with a strong rebellious mentality, Zhang Cheng wondered how Albus Dumbledore would react when Ariana reappeared.
"Interesting! Very interesting! I can't wait to see Dumbledore lose control of his emotions. From the day I met him, he was always calm and calm. Voldemort's tone was indescribable.
"Please give me some time! Besides, if you can, you can deliver this little thing to Aberforth's side. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out a small glass ball with a silver-white light from his pocket.
This thing is a special magic item he created based on the principle of the meditation basin, which can silently invade the brain and copy the memory of the target.
He wasn't going to be content with just being a clone to disturb his mind, but he wanted to actually recreate a living Ariana Dumbledore.
But if you want to do this, you can't do it without enough memory support, at least you can't fool Aberforth, who has taken care of her sister since she was a child.
"No problem, leave it to me. ”
Voldemort didn't ask what the magic device was for, and took it and handed it to the Death Eater next to him, who didn't say a word, and immediately cast a phantom shift and disappeared in place.
You don't have to ask, you know, he must have gone to complete this little task that is not difficult......
