Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

"Are you really going to look for "Secrets of Sophisticated Dark Arts" to find out that secret?" Slughorn understood Tom Riddle's thoughts, knowing that no matter what he could not stop him, he sighed and said, "Wait a minute .”

He took out a small bottle of silver liquid from his pocket, and solemnly warned: "If you want to open that book "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic", you must drink this bottle of potion. It may not be very effective, but it can Isolate some curses, maybe you can avoid the curses originally attached to the book."

Tom Riddle nodded. He thought of a lot at once. He learned about the terrifying power of those enemies from Salazar Slytherin's short notes. In an era when the truth is completely wiped out, books that can carry the truth are by no means It's that simple.

Even just listening to the name of this book is not easy. Black magic has always been the most powerful, terrifying and mysterious magic in the wizarding world, and it must not be underestimated in the slightest.

"It is rumored that the book "Secrets of the Dark Arts Revealed" by Ole Bullock has been stored somewhere in Hogwarts since a certain time. Someone once claimed to have learned about the wizarding world from this book. The biggest lie in history and the true secret of black magic, but none of the countless wizards who came here have found him.

I don't think you'll be able to find him, but you're like a kid who won't stop until you get there, so be careful! said Slughorn gravely.

Tom Riddle was taken aback by what he said. Slughorn had been trying to persuade him not to take it seriously before, but now he was a little uncertain and began to mutter in his heart.

In the end, Slughorn took out some scattered potions and handed them to Tom Riddle. Riddle was really speechless, and even wanted to retreat, muttering: "I said, Professor, you Are you supporting me, or are you scaring me?"

"Ole Bullock once set off a bloodbath in that era. Although he suddenly retired, it did not prevent him from being a key figure in that darkest age. In addition, remember that I just told you that someone once claimed that he Have you seen that book, it disappeared shortly after he made the statement, don’t know where it went.”

Regarding the identity of the person who had read "Secrets of the Advanced Dark Arts", Tom Riddle asked for a long time, but Slughorn kept saying vaguely, only saying that this unknown book was very dangerous, and he did not want Tom to Riddle went looking for him.

"Whether he was alive or dead is still a mystery."

"Is there no clue?" Tom Riddle was in a complicated state of mind, and Slughorn shook his head and left the classroom with his textbook in his arms.

In the end, Tom Riddle still chose the restricted section of the library, and wanted to go deeper from there, because for thousands of years Hogwarts books about black magic and various mysterious books would be placed in the restricted section, but he didn't have any other places. any leads.

Tom Riddle put a Disillusionment spell on himself, and slipped quietly into the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts after avoiding the inspection of the librarian.

He didn't directly use the spell to look for traces of "Revealing the Secret of Advanced Black Magic". Many books in the restricted area have unique characteristics, which can easily cause bad results.

He patiently searched one by one from the bookshelf at the side, but it was not easy to find "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" in the vast sea of ​​books, even if he picked up many books slightly, there would be magic in his heart to seduce him to open the book , is very strange.

Tom Riddle passed several bookshelves with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and walked in a deeper direction. For some reason, he felt more and more palpitations.

In the depths of the restricted area, there seemed to be a terrifying magic power calling him, which made him irresistible, and he couldn't help but walked straight in one direction.

"How could this be?" Tom Riddle was startled. He bit his tongue hard to force himself to wake up. At the same time, he took out his wand and cast several protective spells around his body, and took out the silver gift sent by Slughorn. The medicine was poured down.

At this moment, the silver potion that Slughorn gave Tom Riddle showed a strong medicinal effect. Tom Riddle's skin was filled with silver light and enveloped him, and the somewhat evil summoning weakened immediately. up.

On the one hand, Tom Riddle rejoiced that Slughorn gave him that miraculous potion, on the other hand, he had a bad premonition and strong uneasiness in his heart.

"That kind of weird magical fluctuation... Are the books in these restricted areas really as dangerous as Professor Slughorn said?"

Tom Riddle gritted his teeth and moved on for a distance. He hoped that the other potions that Slughorn gave him would have the same mysterious power as the silver potion.

He took a few more steps forward, and suddenly the surrounding environment became a bit darker, and there was a heavy buzzing sound in his ear, and that kind of strange call was suddenly strengthened dozens of times, making Tom Riddle They all involuntarily rushed towards that direction.

"How could this be?"

A depressive atmosphere filled the air. Tom Riddle felt that he had no way to control his body at all. He came to the end of the restricted area in an instant, and a book wrapped in unknown leather popped out from the bookshelf beside him. In front of him, there are several large characters written on it.

Cutting-edge black magic revealed,

Riddle was very excited. He came to the restricted area just to find him. He wanted to give up, but he didn't want to find him at this juncture.

But his expression became more and more dignified. All the previous signs showed that Slughorn's statement that the book was extremely dangerous was not out of thin air. After thinking for a moment, he poured those medicines into his mouth one by one.

Tom Riddle opened "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", and streaks of black brilliance shot out, and the letters in it seemed to be written in blood, which was extremely strange.

He turned the pages of the book continuously, and saw many records of profound black magic one after another, and even mentioned the extremely evil Horcruxes that he had known, which really deserved the name of the book.

He flipped back, and suddenly a huge black hole flowed out of the leather-made book paper.

Tom Riddle had a warning sign in his heart, and his heart was beating violently. The first thing he thought of was to retreat. The magic in this black hole was constantly fluctuating, which made his scalp tingle, and he felt an endless crisis.

But just when he wanted to back up, he found that he couldn't move.

It's Slughorn's potion, damn it!

A bad premonition arose in Riddle, and strong uneasiness surged in his heart, but the black hole in front of him spun at this moment, sucking his soul into it, and entering the endless darkness.

At the last moment of trance, he seemed to hear a vague voice.That voice seemed to come from the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", it seemed to be that strange magic wave, and it seemed uncertain.

"Hahahaha, I'm back!"

......

The picture of Tom Riddle's memory stopped abruptly for a moment, and for a long time after that, his memory was full of darkness.

Tom Riddle's experience in the library is similar to that of Brian, but the difference is that he was summoned by Riddle's cry for help, as if it was destined for him to save Riddle from cutting-edge black magic. like that.

He was silent for a long time before he asked: "The soul that took your body, did you have any clues when you were imprisoned in the cutting-edge black magic?"

Tom Riddle shook his head silently, with a dull expression.

Brian hesitated for a while, then continued to ask: "Why did Slughorn give you that tampered potion?"

Tom Riddle still shook his head, expressing his lack of clarity.

Looking at Riddle's increasingly dimmer soul body, Brian understood that this is not the time to delve into it. If this continues, his soul will not be able to hold on and will disappear into the world. "You rest here, and I will try to find a way to save you."

Tom Riddle seemed regretful, and said, "Thank you!" He floated down in the corner of the space that Bryan had created for him in the secret realm of time and space. With all the strength, there was no more sound, no words.

Brian also sighed, exited the time and space secret realm, and returned to the screaming room in the real world.

"Hey hey, boy, it seems that you are full of questions. Calm down, the great Kong-sama can give you an appropriate answer, only three upgrade points are needed, and Kong-sama guarantees it with my integrity!"

The silver-faced voice whispered in Brian's ear, but these words made Brian feel very unreliable?

"Xiao Kong, you also saw Tom Riddle's memory picture just now? And are you sure you don't need any handling fee this time?" Brian asked.

"Of course, I know everything that happens in the space-time secret realm!"

A silver-faced voice sounded in his mind.

Bryan was silent for a while, hesitating for a moment, he still chose the condition of exchanging upgrade points with Silver Face for the answer, he had too many questions in his mind, and even though he thought Tom Riddle was not lying, there was no 100% Before % confirms, leaving such uncertain factors in the secret realm of time and space is not the code of conduct that he has always agreed with.

"I exchange!"

Sure enough, after Bryan chose to exchange, Silver Face joyfully deducted his upgrade points to 27, laughing saucyly.

"What the hell happened at Hogwarts a thousand years ago? The enemies Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin faced Who is it?" Brian asked, taking a deep breath.

"I don't know, even if I know, I won't answer you. You need to investigate it yourself, otherwise why do you still choose to be the host of the system? Do you want to eat free rice?" Silver-faced said with a sarcastic smile.

The corner of Brian's mouth twitched, what kind of morals do you have?

"Three upgrade points and three questions, very fair. The question just now is not counted, Sao Nian, ask some normal questions, those things are not something a wizard of your strength can understand.

Sao Nian, quickly improve your strength!If the strength is too weak, it is naturally impossible to know the secrets of those secrets. Do you know what you missed?You missed the sea of ​​stars, quickly become the strongest wizard in the wizarding world, and stand at the top of the wizarding world! "The silver face comforted Brian saucyly.

Silver Face was still chattering, until he saw Brian's unfriendly eyes, and then he stopped a little bit.Bryan pondered for a while, slightly estimated the scope of the system's answer, and asked, "Is what Tom Riddle said just now true or false, and is there something hidden."

"It's the truth, and it's not hidden. You don't have to worry about Tom Riddle being harmful in the time and space secret realm. His current condition cannot use any harmful magic. In short, he is just a man who can use simple magic. , a soul with memories."

Brian's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but think of something, "Second question, is Tom Riddle's imprisonment in "Secrets of the Advanced Dark Arts" related to Dumbledore? Did Dumbledore design Tom Riddle? Del?"

Since Tom Riddle didn't lie or hide, according to what he said, Dumbledore did have many strange actions.

"It has nothing to do, and it was never designed for him." Silverface replied Brian with a rare seriousness, "Dumbledore was not involved in everything that happened to Tom Riddle, and he didn't even know that Tom Riddle investigated Hogger thousands of years ago. Watts truth thing."

Bryan couldn't help asking: "Then why did Dumbledore show Harry fake memories? If he had nothing to hide, why would he make up fake memories?"

"I can't answer this for you, but I can give you a simple reminder. Dumbledore cleared the true identity of the Gaunt family, but in fact he didn't plot anything against Tom Riddle himself.

If I were you, I would compare Tom Riddle and Dumbledore's memory to find the answer you want to know!

Since I can't answer your real answer, I'll send you another piece of information. Tom Riddle's intuition just now was not wrong. It was indeed the potion Slughorn gave him that was tampered with, which made him face "Apex Black" at that time. Unable to move while playing Magic Revealed.

Well, all three questions have been answered, and the rest of the truth can only be discovered by yourself!if you want. "

Brian couldn't recover after hearing the words for a long time, and smiled wryly: "So many wizards have been unable to investigate the truth for so many years, so what can I do?"

"No, you're different from them." Silverface chuckled, as if pointing to Brian inadvertently, "You may be the only one in the entire wizarding world to have those weird rules of conduct and certain peculiar ideas.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the system that had not yet awakened chose you as the host. "

After Silver Face finished speaking, he laughed a few times and then there was no more sound. Only Brian was left facing the rising sun, strolling on the way back to the dormitory, lost in deep thought.
