Shenhao's Journey to Myriad Worlds

"maybe..."

Wang Xuebin sighed deeply, and silently closed his eyes.

"... not everyone is qualified to be a mother, but I don't think... Mrs. Gaunt will be one of them..."

"...So... would you like to go to these two places with me?"

"No problem... To be honest, I also want to see the place where Voldemort lived... I want to see... what kind of place it is..."

Chapter 564 Wu's Orphanage

The City of London, more accurately called Greater London, has 32 districts under its jurisdiction.

The urban area is centered on the City of London. The twelve districts outside London are called Inner London, and the remaining twenty districts are collectively referred to as Outer London.

The City of London in the true sense should be a vast administrative region composed of three parts: the City of London, Inner London and Outer London.

The entire administrative area is bounded by the Thames Canal, which divides the South District and the North District, and the Buckingham Palace, No. [-] Downing Street and other famous buildings are used as the boundary to divide the East District and West District.

Under the influence of various factors such as geographical location, industrial revolution and world wars, Greater London formed a regional pattern of poor in the east and rich in the west.

Aristocrats, rich people and politicians live in the West District, while the East District is more where the working class lives and works.

The Wu's Orphanage, where Tom Riddle lived in his childhood, is located on the edge of this industrially developed but culturally complex East End of London

At the beginning of the [-]th century, the impact of the second industrial revolution was in the ascendant. Thanks to the convenience of the Thames Canal, the East End of London became one of the largest heavy industrial areas in the world at that time.

A large number of industrial jobs have attracted countless workers who come to make a living. The gathering of people from different regions will inevitably bring about the collision of different cultures and customs.

Countless cultural customs collided and merged together, and many people were unwilling to take on the responsibility of being parents due to various reasons. It was in this environment that Wu's Orphanage came into being.

"Wu's Orphanage is a private orphanage, built in 1926, and its builder and manager is Mrs. Cole."

A tall white wall encloses a flat and stable building in the center. The color is monotonous and cold, and there is no warm atmosphere in Wang Xuebin's imagination.

Perhaps seeing Wang Xuebin's doubts, Dumbledore, who was wearing a linen trench coat and a brown wide-brimmed top hat beside him, adjusted his tie awkwardly, coughed lightly, and explained:

"Mrs. Cole who built this orphanage used to be a military doctor. During the First World War, this Mrs. Cole also went to the battlefield.

After World War I, she married a factory owner, but because of her injuries, she was unable to have children. This may be the original intention of Mrs. Cole to establish this orphanage. "

"A soldier who has been on the battlefield?"

Wang Xuebin looked at the building in front of him that looked more like a concentration camp than an orphanage, and nodded slightly. From this building alone, it can be seen that this Mrs. Cole may not have come out of the shadow of the war.

"Now? Why is this orphanage deserted?"

Looking at the rusty iron door with a large lock that had already rusted into a ball, Wang Xuebin turned his head and asked curiously.

Hearing Wang Xuebin's question, Dumbledore couldn't help being silent for a moment, then sighed, and said in a sad tone:

"War is still war Mrs. Cole survived World War I, but failed to escape the shadow of World War II

When Germany bombed London, Mrs. Cole was afraid that the building of the orphanage would be too conspicuous, so she took the children to her factory to take shelter.

It's a pity that luck didn't protect them, and this orphanage has been like this since a bomb fell on their heads."

"That's it"

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Wang Xuebin also became silent. How many people know that the word "war" is light and light, and it contains countless blood, tears and suffering?

Of course, Wang Xuebin was just thinking about it. The Dunhuang murals and the pictures of female historians are still displayed in the British Museum. Let him sympathize?nonsense!

"Did Tom come back after that?"

Dumbledore drew out his wand, pointed at the rusty lock and tapped it lightly, a golden light pierced through the rust and split apart.

"Hu should have come back once. According to a person who lives nearby, his daughter was lost in the neighborhood about 12 years ago and was never found again."

The two looked around and saw that there was no one around, so they pushed open the creaking door and walked into the orphanage overgrown with weeds.

The ground paved with stone bricks has long been corroded by rainwater and weeds. The ground is covered with moss. Every step you take is in danger of slipping.

The yard is very empty, there are no gardens, no sculptures, no decorative buildings, and some are only rigid and monotonous.

The background color of the building of the orphanage is white, but under the erosion of wind and rain, the gray walls have been exposed.

The wall is covered by a kind of creeper-like vine, which looks gloomy from a distance, and it is really a good place for shooting horror movies.

The ground next to the building is full of broken glass and wall skin that has fallen off due to erosion. An occasional small red leather shoe is the brightest color here.

"The old man's daughter died here. On the second floor, there was a Death Curse first, and then she was burned into nothingness by Fiendfire, leaving nothing behind."

"In other words, Tom came here 12 years ago?"

Dumbledore nodded, and pushed open the wooden door of the building. There was also a lock on the wooden door, but it had already been destroyed.

"I think so, apart from Tom, there shouldn't be any dark wizard who would come to this remote and deserted place on purpose!"

"I think so, there's nothing to see here"

The walls in the corridor were cracked and cracked due to years of disrepair, which looked very dangerous.

There were spider webs hanging from the ceiling, and rats could be seen on the ground. There was a decaying smell in the air, which shocked the nerves of the two.

"To be honest, I'm a little curious. Is there anything Tom misses here? Why does he have to hide the Horcrux here?"

On the side, Dumbledore carefully avoided the half-drawn wall hanging above his head, stepped up the stairs facing the door with a tattered handle, and walked towards the room where Tom once lived on the second floor.

"I don't think so. As far as I know, Tom hates this place so much that he has repeatedly applied to Principal Armando to stay at the school during the summer vacation.

For him, this place represents his low self-esteem, cowardice, and unwillingness to look back on the past. No one loathes and dislikes this orphanage more than him! "

Following Dumbledore up, Wang Xuebin faintly whispered in his ears, the voice was low and full of temptation, like a gentle hand leading him into the abyss.

It's a pity that the owner of the voice is a little short-sighted, and only cares about rights, sex, and power.

To tempt Wang Xuebin based on these alone, I'm afraid it's a bit of a dream.

"Since he doesn't like this place, why would he choose to hide such important things here?"

When they came to the second floor, the whispers became louder and louder, but neither Wang Xuebin nor Dumbledore turned a blind eye to it. They went straight to the room at the deepest part of the corridor, and gently pushed away the only one that was intact. door.

"I think"

Seeing a gleaming golden cup looming on the table by the window in the room, Wang Xuebin and Dumbledore stopped in unison, their expressions serious.

"Probably Tom has nowhere else to go"
