The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"Ah, please pass me the water."

After the old man coughed up blood, he became obviously depressed.

"it is good".

Zhang Qi gently picked up the water cup on the table, then mixed some warm water in the thermos bottle, and gently brought the cup to the old man's mouth.

"No, I can still drink it myself."

The old man gently grabbed the cup and drank the water inside with some difficulty.

"Your physical condition cannot be delayed any longer. Frankly speaking, I can already see the breath of death on your body."

Zhang Qi lowered his head gently.

"Old man, I now have the ability to make you return to normal without pain, and it can last for a long time, as long as you cooperate with the treatment for the time being."

Zhang Qi chanted the dragon text softly, and a water ball with a peaceful light appeared in his hand. It was a spirit of the water king, which could easily heal all wounds that could not be fatal instantly.

"no need".

The old man suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Zhang Qi's speech.

"I have lived for a long time. I have witnessed the demise of the Chinese Empire, the decline of the Federation, and now China stands proudly in the east. I am very satisfied now."

"The oath I made a hundred years ago has now become a reality, and I can leave peacefully."

The old man sat up with some effort, tremblingly picked up a small box from the bedside table, and then slowly opened it.

There was a piece of warm jade inside the small box. Zhang Qi knew that thing. It was the lie detector stone that Mr. Lin had used before.

"Ah, I remember I said last time that I had to ask you three questions in total, but I only had time to ask two."

The old man gently stuffed the stone into Zhang Qi's palm and closed his eyes.

"Zhang Qi, this is my last question."

The old man began to cough again. After the coughing became gentler, he asked in a weak voice:

"Is China your hometown?"

The old man's voice was extremely weak, but it revealed incomparable determination.

"Of course, I will move back after graduation. I can use my foresight to do some business, and I will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life."

Zhang Qi said softly.

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

The old man nodded very calmly.

"As for the identity of the other person from the future that I promised you before"...

"You don't need to say more."

Zhang Qi waved his hand gently.

"I know who he is."

"Oh? How did you know?"

Mr. Lin, who was leaning on the bed, was obviously a little surprised.

"You can infer a person's character based on many details. People who live in each era are naturally marked by their own era. It can be easily seen based on some daily behavioral habits."

"At least if two people have more contact with each other in daily life, it will be easy to figure out his identity."

Zhang Qi blinked gently.

"To a certain extent, you are China's true treasure, but you two have to shoulder responsibilities that should not be yours, and even risk your own lives."

"Our era is about to pass, and the future belongs to you after all."

The old man stared blankly at the continuous drizzle outside the window and murmured to himself.

"Actually, besides him, I have another thing I want to tell you."

Mr. Lin said while coughing.

"I already knew it. My second grandfather has never done anything like that. He just took the blame for our future."

Zhang Qi said softly.

"Everything can be revealed to the truth after careful reasoning. Even though I had some objections to the old man at first, in the end I had to believe my own reasoning."

"You are right, so after everything is over, go and help me take care of Lao Zhang. He has suffered too many grievances."

Mr. Lin had a smile on his face.

"Please ask your wife to come in. As an elder, I still want to say a few words."

"it is good".

Zhang Qi stood up, opened the door to the ward, and gently pulled Astoria in.

"Ah, good evening, Miss Greengrass, or should I call you Mrs. Zhang at this moment?"

The old man asked jokingly.

"Well"……

Astoria had a blush on her face. After studying for a long time, she can now speak Chinese fluently.

As a result, Zhang Qi and Shen Jian had to speak in Russian when they were conspiring.

But who knows why Shen Jian can speak Russian?

"You two are a real couple of gods and gods. You are free and easy all day long. You are not short of money. You are young and rich. You are really envious of me, old man."

The old man sighed softly, seeming to recall that turbulent era.

"You are both lucky and unfortunate. Fortunately, you have been able to grow up in a more peaceful era. Unfortunately, this peace will no longer exist soon."

"Yes, but as long as we deal with that disgusting noseless monster, we can truly put an end to this."

Astoria said angrily, then clenched her fists.

"According to my opinion, if you just kill him, I'm afraid it won't work. At least it will only solve the superficial problem."

The old man shook his head gently.

"Forget it, children are children. Don't understand so many cruel truths. Please invite Dumbledore in. I still have some things I want to talk to him about."

"Okay, Grandpa Lin."

The two bowed gently to the old man on the hospital bed, and then exited the room.

"I heard you were looking for me, President Lin."

Dumbledore came in and sat on the chair he had just been in.

"Yeah, you and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Mr. Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed, said with a smile.

"why"?

Dumbledore looked at the old man who had been tortured in the hospital bed but still maintained his gentle and jade-like temperament, and suddenly asked without any reason.

"Haha, do you want to ask me why I am willing to die instead of using some of your seemingly ordinary potions to extend my life?"

The old man suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

"Because I have lived enough, because I don't have so many bad things to do."

"I have students all over the world. Most of them are successful in their studies, abide by China's traditional human ethics and moral concepts, and work hard and are willing to do something for a real future."

"They either line up on the battlefield and fight for the country; or they make suggestions and work for the benefit of the people. Even the least talented ones will safely use their magic power to produce potions and potions in the Shenzhou Magic Potion Distillery, and in the hospital Save a life."

"And you? One of your students caused a horrific massacre! And there are actually a large number of your other students who are willing to join in! You can't even die as boldly as me! This is really shocking What a joke!”

The old man's hearty laughter echoed in the closed room, making the door buzz.

"Yes, you are indeed much happier than me."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and sighed.

"Before I got something with a curse, did I seriously think about not lifting the curse? For me at that time, being cursed to death after touching the object was the ending I really wanted." .

"But then I thought about it, since Riddle was my first student who led me astray, then I have to fulfill my duty as an educator."

"Now I have no power to put it on the right track, but I have to put an end to it myself."

When he said this, Dumbledore's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Tom has caused too much sadness and despair and it's time for him to pay his debt."
