Chapter 581: Be patient, patient

Tom Riddle was inexplicably irritable.

Last time, he manipulated the basilisk through Ginny Weasley, attacked a Mudblood at night, and successfully tricked Dumbledore and McGonagall.

As a result, on the way to the Room of Requirement, he was attacked from behind.

What made Tom Riddle even more irritating was that he had no idea who the person who attacked him was.

The other party was obviously prepared, and he grasped the timing well, so that he didn't even have time to react, and he was inexplicably tricked.

Since Ginny Weasley put a lot of energy into his diary and gradually opened his heart to him, Tom's power has gradually become stronger, even strong enough to control Ginny Weasley, but he didn't expect that the other party would slap him hard when he was most proud.

After that time, no one wrote in the diary.

Tom Riddle has directly lost contact with the outside world, and can no longer sense and influence the outside world.

I don't know how long it took, but finally someone wrote something in the diary again.

Tom Riddle didn't know if this guy was the guy who attacked him in the first place, and what was worse was that this guy did a lot of strange things to his diary.

Only then did I try to communicate with him.

I am Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts, a third-class Medal holder of the Order of Merlin, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League.

After seeing this passage, Tom Riddle realized that the other party was most likely the guy who attacked him at that time.

Although Ginny Weasley had mentioned that Defence Against the Dark Arts class was terrible, it was clear that this guy was deliberately hiding himself.

Tom Riddle was unaware of Lockhart's presence near the diary, which was apparently far away and wary of himself.

Although Tom Riddle was extremely annoyed, he believed that he could handle this guy, and as long as the other party continued to communicate with him in the diary, he could get him.

Without waiting for Tom to answer, the other party continued to write in the diary:

"I've tested it just now, and this journal is a dark magic item. ”

Tom Riddle knows people very well, and he knows that the other person can't wait to communicate with him, so he is very patient to hang the other person's appetite.

I'm curious, what kind of black magic item is this, maybe......

Although he didn't finish writing, Tom Riddle already smelled a hint of threat from the other party's words.

However, Tom Riddle didn't care, the other party made a stupid mistake, he shouldn't have tried to study the diary, let alone try to communicate with him.

Tom Riddle knew very well what these self-righteous guys were thinking, and after he cooled the other party for a while, he finally recovered:

"Hello, Gilderoy Lockhart. My name is Tom Riddle. How did you find my diary?"

Tom Riddle wants to take the initiative, only in this way can he control the direction of the communication between the two sides and lure the other party......

However, Tom Riddle didn't think that he was facing an ordinary opponent at all.

As soon as Albert looked through the mirror and saw the words that quickly appeared and disappeared on the diary, he immediately realized that Tom Riddle was testing himself, and also tried to control the topic of communication between the two parties, so he immediately controlled the quill pen and wrote in the diary:

"Tom Riddle, I know who you are.

Students who received the Special Contribution Award fifty years ago, and your medal still has your medal in the Hogwarts display case.

Can you tell me what you are now?"

To be honest, Tom was stunned at this moment, he didn't expect that guy named Gilderoy Lockhart to think so fast.

Or that the other party only intended to ask questions from the beginning, and did not intend to answer him.

Should you just ignore the other person?

Tom Riddle kept telling himself that he needed to be patient, that Gilderoy Lockhart was very good at dealing with dark wizards, and that it was normal for him to be wary of his diary.

After all, from the very beginning, Gilderoy Lockhart believed that the diary was a dark magic object, and he should find a way to make the other person let his guard down and dispel suspicions.

"I, of course I'm Tom Riddle, it's just a diary. Back then, I tried to record my past in a way that lasted longer than ink, and you could think of it as just a memory. ”

Tom Riddle replied to Gilderoy Lockhart's question in careful terms, or Albert's question.

"You're lying, the diary is a dark magic item, I just tested it with a cryptographer. ”

The other party answered quickly, but Tom Riddle felt a stomachache. (Oh, by the way, he doesn't have a stomach right now.) )

At this moment, Tom was even more convinced that it was this guy who had attacked him.

So, he must have realized that the journal was capable of controlling Ginny Weasley in some special way, and that the other party was trying to communicate with him to find out this.

However, since the other party pretended not to know to communicate with him, it was an opportunity for Tom Riddle.

"There are always some people who don't want to be known, so I keep a diary about it. ”

No matter what the other party thinks, Tom Riddle already intends to continue the disguise until the other party tears off the hypocrisy first.

"About the Chamber of Secrets?"

Without waiting for Tom Riddle to answer, he continued to write:

"So, when you won the Special Contribution Award, you actually captured the heir of Slytherin?

And by 'not wanting to be known', you mean who is the heir of Slytherin, where is the secret room, how to open it, and what kind of monsters are locked up in it?"

Tom Riddle felt very uncomfortable, he felt that he was being led by the nose by Gilderoy Lockhart, but he still resisted the anxiety in his heart and patiently replied:

"You guessed it right. When I was in fifth grade, the secret room was opened, and the monsters attacked several students and killed one.

In the end, I caught the person who opened the secret room, and he was expelled, but the monster was still alive, and the person who had the ability to release it, was not locked up.

The Special Contribution Award was the hush money given to me by the President of the University, Professor Dippert, who did not allow me to tell the truth, and he warned me not to talk nonsense, so I recorded the truth in my diary. ”

"You mean Hagrid when you catch the prisoner who opened the chamber, right? He told me that you caught him and slandered him as a prisoner. ”

Tom Riddle suddenly fell silent, he had realized that he was being teased by the other party, from the beginning, the other party had been teasing him, this was definitely the guy who sneaked up on him.

didn't directly explode and swear, Tom Riddle is already very educated.

All right!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out of the diary, the young Voldemort would have pulled out his wand and rewarded the damned Gilderoy Lockhart with an Arvada slap.
