"Do not--"

The raging fire crazily devoured my body, and I could feel my flesh and blood seem to be melting, reshaping, and melting again. I was desperately struggling to escape from this abyss of pain, but those screaming "people" squeezed Holding me, pushing me deeper, I cried and waved my arms, sinking into the hot magma little by little.

I opened my eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, sweat soaked my clothes, and the surroundings were pitch black.

I can't count the number of times this has happened.

I got up and ran desperately towards the light, but a gust of air rushed me back, and I collapsed on the ground, adapting to the dazzling light.

"Ranbusi..."

I looked at my baby-like hands and broke down crying.

The lack of oxygen made me dizzy, and I felt like I was in a coma. When I woke up again, the space around me was filled with black again. I lowered my head and found that my body had returned to normal.I wiped my tears, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward cautiously.

This time, I saw a boy. He was sitting on a chair, staring at me with empty eyes. Keep looking straight ahead.

He was a very beautiful little boy, with light-colored white hair, blue eyes, and thick and long eyelashes, but his face was abnormally pale, and his lips were bloodless, even a little black.

"Rambusi?" I whispered to him.

I knelt down and gently took his hand. His wrist was covered with scars, which looked like cuts.I raised my head to look at his neck, which also had two cuts that were neither long nor short.

"Who did it?" I asked tremblingly.He obviously won't give me an answer, but I already have the answer in my heart.

I looked straight into his eyes, and there were red flames looming in them. After a brief absence, I felt as if I had entered another scene from his eyes.

In front of me was a scorched stone, and in front of me was an abyss, with red magma flowing below, and the scalding heat wave quickly spread all over my body.

I turned my head and saw Ranbusi on the other side.

He was standing on the edge of the cliff, and at this moment I finally saw the emotion on his face—panic, fear, because this was his living soul, not his "dead" body.

"Do not--"

Thick black vine-like things protruded from the magma. They climbed up the cliff, wrapped around Ranbusi's ankles, and dragged him down. Ranbusi fell down, and his hands were tightly clenched. Holding the stones on the edge, but the stones had begun to crack, he screamed in despair.

"No!" I exclaimed, I rushed over without thinking, and grabbed his arm at the moment the stone shattered.

At that moment, what I saw in his blue eyes was not terror, but surprise.

The rock under me began to shake, and my other hand was holding on to the uneven stone tightly, drawing a few bloodstains, the force pulling my arm became heavier and heavier, and my muscles felt a strong The pain of tearing, but I never let go.

Even if I know, it's all fake, it's just a repeating illusion.

I'm not aware of my behavior, maybe it's just some strange emotion that makes me want to make up for something that I can't make up, in this virtual unreal scene.

The wet eyelashes were stained on the eyelids. I opened my eyes with some difficulty, and the surroundings were no longer in darkness. I saw Ranbusi. His eyes showed a little bit of consternation, but soon recovered.

"Time...how long has passed?" I struggled to speak.

"This kind of question is meaningless to you."

I close my eyes in despair.

Of course it made sense, but Ranbusi didn't understand it.

I just want to know how long I've been stuck here, and I hope the time is short, because this will allow me to make a more reasonable explanation for the fact that Riddle hasn't moved at all.

"I'm sorry, Ranbusi," I said.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. You're right, you didn't do anything wrong," Ranbusi continued, "And don't think that an apology can change my mind."

"I know."

"Game over, Ashley." He wiped his wand. "You don't need to feel this anymore. I think I've seen enough of pointless struggle."

"What are you going to do?" I looked at him anxiously.

"It's not without reason why Angus Allouette used people from his own family to conduct experiments. Wizards are not the same as dementors. Devouring souls does not strengthen themselves, but Alouette is different. Anything Both have two sides, Ashley. Allouette's ability to be gentle and harmless is simply tasteless. Angus is undoubtedly a great character. He has unearthed great possibilities from this weak strength. Unfortunately, if If you really want to go far on this road, you need to abandon the most primitive ability that deviates from it." Ranbusi explained very patiently, "For example, healing injuries caused by black magic, such as appease the soul-it can relax people The mind, and the human soul at this time is the most vulnerable, and the easiest to be invaded and controlled... These are all very useful powers, but unfortunately, I have no way to possess them."

"But now, I have found a way to transfer this power, Ashley. This is also thanks to Gellert Grindelwald. If he hadn't been using me as a medium to experiment, I might not have researched it so quickly. Come out this way." His wand touched my forehead, and a hot breath began to extend into my body from there, my head seemed to explode, and the blood vessels in my whole body were about to melt like flowing through magma .

My body twitched and trembled unceasingly, and I felt that my soul was about to burst out of my body. I couldn't see anything except the dazzling white light. My throat seemed to be cut by a rusty saw, and I let out a hoarse whimper.

My shattered consciousness scattered around the room. I saw golden runes faintly emerging from the surface of my skin. The light of those runes even penetrated through my clothes bit by bit, clearly suppressing it. Everything I'm about to be sucked out of.

As the golden light became stronger and stronger, Ranbusi's arm trembled more and more intensely. Finally, he suddenly withdrew the spell, and the rune disappeared in an instant. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

"How could it be?" He got up in embarrassment, wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth with his hands a few times, grabbed my collar viciously, and looked down at me, who was as weak as a puddle of mud, "This is impossible!"

My neck was exposed in front of him unreservedly, and he saw the glass ball that I had been wearing all the time at a glance.Ranbusi stretched out his hand and wanted to tear it off, but the necklace seemed to be one with my flesh and blood.

"Impossible!" He strangled my neck frantically, and I grasped his hand weakly, the suffocation made me stare.

"What is this? Take it off." Ranbusi gradually calmed down, and the strength in his hand was also loosened, and I lowered my head softly.

Seeing his chest heaving violently due to anxiety and anger, I laughed suddenly, the laughter carried that weak and unpleasant breath, and the strong meaning of irony in it made me feel chills all over my body when I heard it.

I suddenly realized, and finally understood the real purpose of this necklace.

I don't know how Yongmu Lin thought of protecting my soul in this way, instead of making it a "talisman" that can resist extremely lethal spells.

How could he know what Ranbusi was doing?He probably didn't even know about Rambusi until he died.

It's amazing... I secretly admired it in my heart.

"No." I stopped laughing, and said softly with a calm face, "I won't take it off. You will never succeed, and you will never get my power, Ranbusi."

Ranbusi's eyes became extremely fierce and terrifying, he cast spells one after another without hesitation enough to make me die of pain, he almost vented all the curses he had learned on me, I was about to be killed I let out hoarse screams from my bitten lips, and the sweet liquid in my mouth made me cough uncontrollably.

I know that Ranbusi has been dazzled by anger. Everything he has carefully planned for so many years is now one step away from the goal, and it is all destroyed on this inexplicable little glass ball.

I lay numb in a pool of blood, my hair sticking wet to my face and neck.My eyesight was blurred and I lost all awareness of any part of my body.

Ranbusi finally put away the spell, paced back and forth in the room, and finally walked up to me, squeezed my jaw, and looked at my distraught face.

"It's okay, Ashley." His eyes were bloodshot, "I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time."

"I'm afraid you're out of time."

All the noises around me stopped abruptly. I tried to open my eyes and looked towards the door. There was a vague black figure standing there silently. He lowered his head slightly and took off the hood covering his face. I saw A familiar face as pale as paper and those eyes shining with a dark red cold light.

Ranbusi's face was uglier than ever, it could be seen that he probably never thought of this scene, he was so surprised that he didn't speak for a few seconds.

"When did you come out of Azkaban? How did you find this place?" Ranbusi asked gloomily, pointing the wand in his hand vigilantly.

I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and I leaned my whole body back to relieve the pain.

Riddle didn't pay any attention to Ranbusi's meaning, as if he didn't hear it, his eyes moved from Ranbusi's face to me who was in a panic, probably looking at the bloody marks on my body from head to toe, but his His expression didn't change at all, as if all of this was within his expectations, except that the two black eyebrows were slightly frowned, but soon, he looked away calmly as if nothing had happened.

Ranbusi quickly adjusted his mood, and his complexion returned to normal, as if everything just now was just a trivial accident to him.

"This is indeed a surprising thing, Lord Dark Lord." Ranbusi's tone could not hear the respect in the past, full of sarcasm, "I really didn't expect a woman to be so important to you , it is worth your risk..."

"It's okay to risk your life." Riddle continued his words almost without waiting for him to finish speaking, with a little undetectable displeasure, "Perhaps you should take a closer look at the relationship you have established with the people here. Connect, and you'll find they're long gone."

Ranbusi's smile subsided, and he stood stiffly on the spot for a few seconds, and I watched his lips begin to lose color.

"impossible."

"If you stretch the time forward for another three months, you will understand whether it is possible." Riddle responded indifferently.

"So... three months ago, you already knew all this..." Ranbusi stared at him.

"No. It will be much earlier." Riddle kept his mouth shut like gold. He raised his wand, and a strong wind rushed in. I squinted my eyes and tentatively opened them after tens of seconds. The scene in front of me became An empty ruins, the wind and sand rolled up my skirt, I was led to move a little distance back, fell to the ground, my whole body was sore and unbearable.

After a few blasts of air, figures in black robes appeared behind Riddle, each of them covered their faces with hoods, and they were all black. Accompanied by a muffled thunder from the cloudy sky, I felt There was a palpitating suffocation, and when I fully saw everything in front of me, a huge skull pattern just disappeared.

"You failed, Ranbusi." Riddle raised his head from the front of the black mist, staring coldly at Ranbusi's face, "Maybe you think that after staying in Azkaban for a year or so, I'm gone , In fact, I am not doing nothing." His voice was full of terrifying coercion, even if I did not face this confrontation directly, I dare not breathe out, "Even if I give you another ten years of chance, You can't beat me either."

"Impossible..." Ranbusi took a step back, as if looking for something.

"Want to save the soldiers?" Riddle's mouth raised an inconspicuous arc, "Your influence has been cleaned up... As for those who know the current affairs, I am also willing to give them a chance to make up for it. Therefore, this plan is carried out very quickly. I have been waiting for the day when you show all your cards, Ranbusi, what a pity, you are not calm enough. It only took me three months to completely disarm the Death Eaters. So now, I am the only one who can save you." He lowered his eyes, stared at the wand in his hand, and said slowly, "However, I don't intend to give you a chance."

He raised his wand, and in the next second, the dazzling light and a deafening buzzing sound filled my senses at the same time, I struggled to support the ground, the wound on my arm was in pain like a tear, I simply moved He didn't move either, and opened his mouth, panting heavily.I saw my wand lying on the ground not far away, and I wanted to move it over to get it back, but a strong impact swept it, and the poor wand swayed in the two huge stalemate energies, supporting After a while, it exploded into pieces.

Finally quiet down.

I heard a slight scorching sound, and Riddle stood still, his wand drawn away.His exposed skin began to ooze traces of blood, but the skin trauma caused by this impact obviously didn't have a big impact on him.On the other side, I could no longer see Ranbusi. He was probably not directly hit by the Killing Curse. The two spells counteracted the effect, but in this confrontation, Ranbusi had the upper hand and the spells collided. The huge impact detonated very close to him, and he was the first to bear the brunt. I only saw blackened blood and stumps on the ground. I turned my head, not wanting to see this terrible scene.

Riddle turned to me again, he walked up to me step by step, and stretched out his hand to me without saying a word.

My stiff brain has not been able to react to what happened. After a moment of hesitation, I slowly reached out to him, but at this moment, a cold light flashed, and the warm liquid splashed on my face. Shocked in fright, I turned my head. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Riddle's right arm was bleeding continuously, dripping on the ground. The normal posture hangs weakly by his side, he frowned and looked at his probably disused right arm, the pain made his facial muscles tremble slightly.He raised his head and looked to my right back with a little surprise.

My eyes went dark, as if something was dragging my collar. After the apparition spun around, I lowered my eyes and saw the bloody hand controlling me.

My eyes turned to the front, and Riddle had already opened a long distance from me.Only then did my stiff brain start to work slowly.

"Get your people out of here."

Ranbusi's voice came from behind my ears.

"They haven't made a move, Ranbusi. Even if they leave, you are not my opponent." Riddle said calmly.

But he still moved his left hand, and the dark figures apparated and disappeared in place one after another, and the place soon became empty.

There was a burst of almost maniacal laughter in my ear, and Ranbusi seemed very satisfied with it: "If you don't stop me from leaving, I can let her go, what do you think?"

The air was suddenly silent for a few seconds.

"Are you threatening me with her?" Riddle asked with some uncertainty.

"You can think so." Ranbusi put his wand against my neck and took two steps back slowly.

"Then you are a bit self-righteous, Ranbusi." Riddle's eyes gradually became abnormally cold, he took out his wand with his still intact left hand, and his voice was a little more high-pitched and harsh than before, "Facts Everything in the world is under my control, and you can't threaten me, and you don't have any chance to get out. How many years have I used to complete my plan to clean up a potential threat. Why do you think I keep a Someone who can't be used by me?"

"What do you mean?" Ranbusi asked in a deep voice.

"Since the moment you hit her, you have fallen into the trap, Ranbusi." Riddle didn't say anything more, he uttered the spell, and this time he used only the Stunning Spell, but the The magic wave is still very strong. Ranbusi didn't expect that Riddle would strike without hesitation. The tip of his wand on my neck even pierced into my flesh. I could feel his force. He didn't have time to react. Can try to keep me in front of him and dodge aside, the cutting curse cuts my neck hard, and Riddle's curse hits neither Rambusi nor me, it rubs Bian crossed the past and hit the empty space.

The cool wind blew over my neck, the blood spurted out, I lost my support and fell backwards, my limbs were weak, and it became difficult to breathe, but I didn't feel too obvious pain, my eyes kept looking at the Riddle, who didn't seem to care about me at all, the second spell flew high behind me and shot down the fleeing white bird.

I close my eyes, feel the blood carry my life along with it, the tears slide down my cheeks to my ears, I wait for my body to fall heavily, and then my soul will be taken away by death.

But who caught me.

I opened my eyes, and Riddle had just emerged from the black smoke. His wand fell to his feet, his left hand rested on my shoulder, and the other hand couldn't exert strength, so he fell to his knees in a bit of embarrassment. On the ground, it supports my body and prevents me from direct contact with the ground.

He put me down on the ground and took back his left hand to cover the wound on my neck.

Blood trickled down between his fingers.

I didn't feel any emotion from Riddle's blank face, his gaze was fixed on the dark green glass ball I was wearing around my neck.He carefully moved the necklace up a little with his little finger.

"Take it off, Ashley." His voice has not been so gentle for a long time, as light as comforting a sleeping child, there is no temptation, only guidance.

"Take it off, listen."

My heart is like a newly burnt ashes covered by ice and snow, without a single spark, lifeless.With all my strength, I pulled his collar, and weakly uttered a few words from between my lips.

"No." I breathed hard, I felt that my brain was almost unable to function, and the only thing that supported my words and deeds was my unconscious instinct, "You all want my power—you, none of you have to arrive."
