Ravenclaw's bronze ring, as William's biggest plug-in, is known to very few people.

Among these few people, there is absolutely no one who includes Ron and Lockhart...... These two people who once briefly owned a diary.

Riddle could not have understood from them.

Then again, the Tywin incident was so loud that he might have guessed it...... So, it's probably a deliberate cliché!

William instantly possessed the Golden Sour Plum Award actor, with a confused look on his face, and shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Pompous...... It's a bit pompous. Riddle smiled brightly and grinned: "William, you should hesitate for a while, and it is better to think a little in the confusion."

In this way, the performance has tension and layering, and it is easier to be convincing. ”

"Connoisseur." The corners of William's mouth curled.

"Not really, it's just that I've been pretending to be in front of Dumbledore for a long time, and I'm just a little bit of a trick." Riddle's tone was flat.

"But you never hid it from him."

"yes, I'll admit it, I can't hide it from Dumbledore." Riddle's face was gloomy.

"His blue eyes were always staring at me, not warm or appreciative, but cold...... From the first meeting!

No matter how good I was, he turned a blind eye! ”

William glanced sideways slightly, and Riddle's tone was like a resentful woman who had been left out in the cold...... It's more like an unfavored son trying to perform.

Sixteen-year-old Riddle apparently had a lot of grudges against Dumbledore.

"Alright William, let's talk about the ring."

"There's nothing to talk about, don't be like Professor Tywin...... He just believed in the legend too much, and I had already sent him to Azkaban to camp through labor.

I don't know if there is a chance to meet him again, I actually miss him. ”

"Just a legend?" Riddle stared at William, "But I looked up what you've done in the past two years, and the more I learned, the more amazed I became."

You're so amazing compared to me when I was in third grade......"

"Otherwise, how can you call a genius?" William had an attitude of not admitting it.

He said with a familiar tone, "Tom, the ring is really just a school legend, just like other big and small, strange school legends. ”

Riddle stood up, gently put his hands behind his back, and paced slowly around the room, when he suddenly asked:

"William, do you know where this is?"

"Secret room?"

"More precisely, the Sanctuary of the Chamber of Secrets, the room that Slytherin left behind.

It was here that he delved into magic, thought about life, observed the universe, time and space, and even reflected on ...... Death. Riddle explained.

William looked up, and he did notice something special about this room.

On the surrounding walls, there is a special flame - the Gublai Immortal Fire.

It is an enchanted flame that burns forever, hence the name "Eternal Fire".

William had seen this precious flame at Nicol's manor.

The ceiling is covered with astrological charts: planets, moons, constellations, all interspersed with astrological symbols, charts and formulas.

The arrows represent the elliptical orbits of the stars, the geometric symbols represent the angle of ascent, and the animals belonging to the zodiac all overlook the room.

Slytherin is really an astronomy enthusiast!

It is estimated that when I am fine, I look up at the starry sky and sigh at the vastness of the universe and the infinity of time and space...... Slytherin, wizard of the universe!

Wait a minute......

"How do you know what Slytherin is doing here?"

William stared at Riddle and frowned, "Listening to your tone, it seems like I've seen it with my own eyes." ”

"I didn't know." Riddle laughed. "Because of you, I know."

"What do you mean?"

"The first time I took control of Ron, I entered the Chamber of Secrets, only to find that the basilisk was gone...... Do you know how I was feeling? ”

William smiled.

"I killed the basilisk, and you can't blame me, it's your future, Voldemort, who let it go.

To be honest, that little cutie tastes pretty good...... Crunchy, chicken-flavored, I cut it into slices and fried it a few times.

I still have cryopreserved to the corpse, would you like to try it? ”

"......" Riddle took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry.

"I was disappointed that the basilisk was dead, and I didn't give up, so I crawled into the entrance of this sculpture to see if there were any basilisks, but I accidentally found this room."

“…… You mean, you've never been in before? William was stunned.

"Nope." Riddle sighed, "No matter how great a wizard is, there are times when he is negligent.

At that time, I had great respect for Slytherin, how could I climb the sculpture?

Add to that the long-standing rumor that the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets are the heirs left to him by Slytherin, purging students who are not worthy of studying magic.

After I summoned the basilisk, I never thought to check it out inside the statue...... Until that time! ”

"When I climbed in, I realized that there was a room in the mouth of the Slytherin statue, and this was the real ...... Chamber! ”

Riddle's eyes sparkled with heat.

"The Slytherin left the basilisk not to destroy the Mudbloods, but to protect the room...... Guard the contents of the room from being seen by others.

In addition to an adult basilisk, there are seven juvenile basilisks in the room.

A basilisk lives for eight or nine hundred years and dies...... Then the second basilisk wakes up and continues to guard the ...... Until the Slytherin Successor appeared. ”

"What did Slytherin leave behind?" William asked.

Riddle smiled mysteriously.

"He left no magic, but he left a more precious record."

"What's the record?"

"The story of the adventures of the Big Four...... Death...... Deathly Hallows...... Prehistoric mysteries...... Too much. ”

William's heart sank, these were also what he and Nicol were looking for.

"I'm stupid, really." Riddle burst into a wild laugh.

"My body has gone the wrong way, bullshit immortality! He can't even kill a baby! This shit, idiot, he really damns it! ”

Riddle's face grimaced.

"Now that I've been resurrected, I've been guided by Slytherin...... I will take his place and become the real Voldemort.

I will be stronger than before...... There will be truly eternal life! ”

"So, give me the ring of one of the Deathly Hallows!"

Riddle's eyes were cold.

"Don't pretend, I'm in a showdown...... The ring is indeed with me. William flipped his right hand, and a ring appeared in his hand.

"But Tom, if I put on the ring now and go into the time loop again...... Your rebirth will be gone. ”

William quickly brought it on, but felt that something was wrong. With a pull of his left hand, he easily took off the ring.

“……”

Once in the time loop, the ring cannot be taken off...... Since he took it off, it means that he has failed.

Riddle looked at the ring obsessively, smiling triumphantly.

"William, I know the existence of the ring, and I will definitely take precautions.

Why did I choose the place of resurrection in the secret room and the time in the middle of the night?

Because technically, the Chamber of Secrets doesn't fall within the confines of Hogwarts Castle, it's deep underground!

By midnight, my resurrection is a foregone conclusion, and even if you get lucky enough to return to Hogwarts, you won't be able to rewrite history. ”

William's brow furrowed.

The power of the Ravenclaw ring was driven by the magic of the castle, and he really couldn't enter the time loop outside.

In the same way, entering the time loop, it is impossible to leave the castle.

These are two essential prerequisites.

"This chamber requires a parseltongue cavity to open." Riddle sneered, "Phantom manifestations are also forbidden, even a phoenix can't fly out." ”

"I did so much and prepared for an academic year...... How could it be possible to get you out of here, and Dumbledore couldn't come in and help you! ”

Riddle laughed, and he held out his hand. "Come, leave it to me, I can spare your life."

"I see." William nodded, flipped his right hand, and put the ring away again.

"Since I can't use the power of the ring, then I'm here...... Kill you! ”

William's voice was soft, as if he was saying something insignificant.

He tilted his head and ran a wipe around his neck.

"Sixteen-year-old Voldemort...... Tom, what are you to think you're invincible?

Are you floating, or I can't lift my wand. ”

William snorted and smiled, "You still want me to hand over the ring?" Do you deserve it too? ”

He slid over the Slytherin's notes...... I'll spare your life! You outlaw maniac Tom! ”

William was full of murderous intent. Don't look at Tomridel resurrected, killing him is justified defense.

Maybe you can win a third award for outstanding contribution to the school.
