An oil lamp was lit in the gloomy cave, and the stone pillars hanging from the top of the cave reflected a bunch of strange and eerie reflections in the uncertain dimming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I don't know where the water is dripping, and the slow and clear ticking sound never stops.

Suddenly, the dim space flickered, and a figure suddenly appeared, driving the air in the cave, and the flame of the oil lamp also danced lightly a few times.

"Whew." With his right hand propped up on the cold, damp stone wall, his body hunched up, Quirrell's face was pale as if he were about to die.

Voldemort, who possessed Quirrell, was in even worse condition than Quirrell himself. Although on the surface it still looks the same ugly and doesn't seem to have changed much, in fact, after the battle just now, most of his remaining mana has been consumed again, and by this time, he is almost unable to maintain his consciousness.

"Master, we failed. What's next? After about three to five minutes, Quirrell's breath finally stabilized.

The unicorn is more difficult to deal with than expected, encountering the centaur along the way, and eventually, even provoking the ranger who is patrolling the Forbidden Forest. Expectingly, hunting unicorns should be an easy task, but halfway through, they encountered so many obstacles and accidents, and even almost got caught. Thinking back to the previous situation again, Quirrell was very scared, and unconsciously, he shrank into a ball again.

"It can't be any more." Voldemort's voice was intermittent, like a remnant of breath before he died: "According to the plan, you must get the Philosopher's Stone in your hands." ”

"But, your stamina."

"Shut up! Do as I say, I'll just fall into a deep sleep, not die. As long as you get the Philosopher's Stone, as long as you. The interlude grew longer and longer, and just as the sound became inaudible, Voldemort suddenly screamed as if he had been stimulated by something.

"Ahh

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Quirrell's expression grew more and more panicked.

"Nagini, Nagini." Through telepathy with Nagini, his death was detected, and Voldemort's whispers were filled with murderous intent.

"Nagini? Did something happen to it? ”

"It's dead. Quirrell, hide until you get the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Voldemort's voice was gone, and only Quirrell's gasps remained in the gloomy cave, and the dim flames flickered a few more times, and the figure reflected on the stone wall seemed to shrink even smaller.

Just when Quirrell was in fear and uneasiness, and Voldemort fell into a deep sleep, in Hogwarts, dozens of miles away from the cave, Chu Xiaobai and the others were dealing with all kinds of aftermath.

The first thing to do is the injured Bane and the unicorn. Because there are still people by his side to take care of him, there is no need for Bane to go to Hogwarts to receive treatment from the professors, as long as he goes back to the clan with Ferenze and the others to recuperate.

It's the unicorn that needs to be taken to the hut to take care of nearby. It's conventional. In the past, when Hagrid found injured creatures in the Forbidden Forest, he would take them back to his hut and heal them while caring for them, and he would not release them back into the Forbidden Forest until he had recovered from his injuries.

"Uh, Hagrid, it seems he likes me better." Hagrid wanted to take the unicorn back to his cabin, but to his helplessness, the unicorn did not choose to follow him, but quietly walked to Chu Xiaobai's side. Seeing this scene and looking at Hagrid's depressed expression again, Chu Xiaobai could only smile and spread his hands: "That's it, let it live with me, and I will take good care of it." As for the task of sending Harry and them back, it's up to you, how about it? ”

"Okay. Harry, Hermione, kids, let's go. Still depressed, Hagrid forgot to check the corpse of the big snake, and naturally did not find the fact that the corpse of the snake had been put away by Chu Xiaobai.

Do you want to quickly dispose of the soul fragments attached to the snake corpse before anyone can react? Or just take it back and wait for Dumbledore to come to the door and reveal some Horcrux-related information to him while he can see that the snake corpse has soul fragments attached to it?

If you choose the former, you can harvest another divine power crystal without realizing it.

If you choose the latter, you may lose this divine power crystal, or you may get Dumbledore's help to find a few more Horcruxes and get more divine power crystals.

took the unicorn back to his hut, made a soft and comfortable nest for it, and rested on the deck chair, Chu Xiaobai pondered about it.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't have a clue, and just when Chu Xiaobai was about to throw a coin, someone came to the door of his hut.

When Hagrid sent Harry and the others back, he would inevitably report to Professor McGonagall what happened in the Forbidden Forest, and how could Professor McGonagall not be suspicious of this matter when he heard the man in black and the serpent in the story? She wasn't so careless as Hagrid, and at the first moment, she thought of Voldemort, the Dark Lord.

Without further ado. After sending Harry and the others back to the Gryffindor Sorting Quarters, Professor McGonagall hurried to Dumbledore's room and called out to Dumbledore, who was already asleep.

An old-fashioned and serious old lady, and a white-bearded old man in cartoon pajamas, the two muttered for more than ten minutes, and then came to a conclusion that Harry had just returned to the wizarding world, and Voldemort, who had always regarded him as a thorn in his side, was indeed very likely to come back at this time, so that the mysterious person who appeared in the Forbidden Forest was really Voldemort.

Anything that has to do with Voldemort is a big deal, and there is no room for sloppiness. So, Dumbledore quickly changed his clothes, and the two hurriedly came to Chu Xiaobai's residence again to ask him for more detailed information.

"To be honest, I don't know who the mysterious man hidden in the cloak really is. When I arrived, he fled quickly and didn't fight me directly. Perhaps, before I arrived, he had fought with Ferenze and them. In the conversation with Dumbledore, Chu Xiaobai honestly told some facts first: "If you want to ask who that person is, I think they should know better than me. ”

"Well, I'll go to Ferenze tomorrow and ask about the situation." Although he expected it, Dumbledore was still a little disappointed when he heard such an answer.

Professor McGonagall asked, "Isn't there another serpent?" Maybe we can get some clues from the snake? By the way, Chu, is the snake you killed still in the Forbidden Forest? Can you take us over now? ”

"Not really, I've already brought it back." Secretly said Okay, don't embarrass me, Chu Xiaobai took out the snake corpse stored in the space. In order to explain why he brought the snake corpse back, and also to remind Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, Chu Xiaobai made another excuse: "After killing this snake, I found that it still has a very cold and strange aura wrapped around its body. I was worried that just leaving it there would cause some bad changes, so I brought it back after it was over, intending to purify it before disposing of it. ”

"Well, there's a creepy feeling." As she stared at the snake corpse on the ground, checking its status with her magic, Professor McGonagall frowned.

"It's a Horcrux." Dumbledore was more knowledgeable, and after only checking it for more than ten seconds, he came to the conclusion: "If I am not mistaken, it should be one of the Horcruxes that Voldemort made for himself." The cold and eerie aura emanated from Voldemort's soul fragments, well, I'm familiar with this aura. ”

"Horcruxes? Voldemort's? Chu Xiaobai deliberately pretended to be surprised.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded very seriously: "As far as I know, if you make a horcrux from a living thing, it will be quite difficult to deal with, and if you don't use a weapon with magical effects, it should be difficult to kill it." ”

"Chu, how did you do that? I mean, I've heard Hagrid say that you didn't use weapons, not even magic, but killed him with your bare hands, and I really don't understand. Professor McGonagall's expression was serious, and her tone even looked like a police officer interrogating a prisoner.

"Remember all the work I gave Hermione? That's the one that I use. "Picking up the words that Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore could understand, Chu Xiaobai explained to them what it means to fight cattle across the mountain.

"Ignore the outward defenses and attack the inside?" Dumbledore pondered for a while, and then looked at Nagini's corpse again: "That's right, the magic power on its body can resist most spells, and the defense of ** itself is also very strong, whether it is using magic or attacking directly with weapons, as long as it is an attack from the outside, it has no effect on it." ”

"Chu, it seems that we need to discuss it carefully and let you start a class in the school."

"Classes? I'll talk about that later. "It's okay to teach Hermione and his friends, and officially start the class as a teacher? For now, Chu Xiaobai doesn't have that idea yet. Afraid of being trapped by Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, Chu Xiaobai quickly changed the topic: "Now, let's deal with this snake first, right?" Why, you have to purify the breath on its body first, what do you think? ”
