Chapter 190 Horcrux? Haunting

Aaron raised his eyebrows and made a strange sound.

Different from the shadowy language of snakes, dragon language is more profound, but it is not understandable to ordinary people.

Although Abe was reluctant, his owner told him not to waste his efforts, so he could only fly to Aaron in frustration.

"Riddle has set up this barrier for more than a month, and it's not that easy to break.

But it's not that you can't help me, just wait for my call. "Aaron patted its head meaningfully.

Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while, I deliberately learned the summoning magic circle just for today.

"Aaron, what sound did you make just now?" Harry asked curiously, "That's definitely not snake language."

"Dragon language." Professor McGonagall said with some surprise, "That is the language of dragons. There have been no dragon speakers in the magical world for at least a thousand years. No wonder you can keep a dragon by your side."

"You're overthinking, Professor." Aaron shook his head, "I only learned Dragon Language after I became Abe's master.

Some magical things may happen to my dragon cub later. Please let nature take its course, but you must also pay attention to protecting it. "

After saying that, Aaron entered the barrier.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other and ran towards the barrier. Even the professors couldn't stop them.

"Fuck!"

When Aaron saw this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his heart was filled with thunder.

"Are you three sick?

I must seek death, isn't it bad to live? "

"You need help." Hermione said matter-of-factly, "We just want to make up for the mistakes we made, and we should have this right."

"Potter, come out quickly." Professor McGonagall was worried outside, "You can't help if you go."

"Professor, don't worry, we will not hold you back." Harry said confidently.

"My sister's life or death is uncertain. I can't wait outside."

"Come out quickly, or you'll be expelled!"

"It's useless, Professor." Aaron spread his hands helplessly, "This barrier allows entry but not exit. It's impossible for them to get out even if they want to."

"What?" Professor McGonagall took a few steps back in despair, as if most of her strength had been drained away. If Professor Sprout hadn't supported her in time, she might have fallen to the floor.

"As expected of Gryffindor." Professor Snape said in a sinister tone, and then looked at Aaron, "Although I don't want to put any more pressure on you, please protect these three idiots."

"I can only say that I will try my best." Aaron didn't dare to make any guarantees, because these three people are really not fuel-efficient lamps. It would be a blessing if they didn't drag him down.

Professor Snape's expression froze, "Then protect yourself."

"I will try my best on this."

The four people passed through a narrow passage and descended through a ladder into the real secret room.

The secret room is very large, the light in it is not too dark, and the visibility is not low.

There are a row of giant snake stone pillars on the left and right sides. They are submerged in the pool to support the high ceiling, adding some weird colors to the room filled with water elements.

Aaron watched Harry and the other two pull out their wands and move forward step by step cautiously, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. He felt a little bit dumbfounded.

"The basilisk isn't here, so don't be so nervous."

"How do you know?" Ron asked, "It may be behind a certain pillar and may launch a surprise attack at any time. It's always right to be careful."

Aaron's mouth twitched and he explained: "My hearing is ten times stronger than yours. The basilisk is so big, and its actions cannot be hidden from my ears."

"Then you have to take out your wand too!" Hermione said, "What if you are caught off guard?"

Aaron: ...

Do I have to tell you that I am proficient in wandless spellcasting?

When they reached the end of the secret room, a huge statue suddenly appeared in front of them, clinging to the dark wall.

This is an old wizard with sparse hair and even some baldness. His long beard almost reaches the hem of the wizard's robe, which is even more exaggerated than Dumbledore.

It looks rather gloomy, but full of majesty.

"Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin House." Aaron simply performed a wizard's salute. "This should be what he looked like when he was old, but he still feels extremely wise."

"Ginny." Ron quickly ran to the feet of the huge sculpture, where a red-haired girl was lying on the cold floor.

"Ginny, please don't die, please don't die." Harry threw the wand aside and helped Ginny up.

Her body was not stiff and was not petrified like others, but there was no blood on her face and her body was extremely cold, almost indistinguishable from a dead person.

"Ginny, please wake up!" Ron begged and shook twice. "Open your eyes and look at me, please."

"Is she still alive?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Still alive." Aaron tested Ginny's breathing. It was extremely fragile and intermittent, but there was no doubt that it was there. "But the condition was very bad, very bad. She only had one breath left.

To be precise, her life has entered a countdown, maybe a few hours, maybe ten minutes, or even worse, a few minutes. "

"Can you save her?" Ron looked at Aaron eagerly, "I know you can save her, you have that bottle of magic potion."

"It's not up to me to save her or not." Aaron said meaningfully, and then looked at a black diary not far away, "I'm already here, it's time for you to come out too, right?

Tom Riddle, the descendant of Salazar Slytherin should not be a coward! "

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The sound of applause sounded, and a tall boy with black hair walked out of the shadows, but his outline was a little blurry.

The moment the figure appeared, the system's voice sounded in Aaron's mind, "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new system task."

[Destroy Voldemort’s Horcrux:

The reward for completing the task is 1200 magic points. There is no penalty for failure of the task. Does the host accept it? 】

"Waterfa..."

Looking at this new task panel, Aaron felt numb all over.

Why Voldemort? Does this old immortal want to be so haunted?

By the way, what is a Horcrux? In this secret room? Could it be...that diary.

Just as Aaron's thoughts were swirling, the figure gradually approached, forcing him to withdraw his attention.

"It can be seen that your condition is not good."

"It's just temporary." Riddle picked up Harry's wand and played with it briefly, "First meeting, Aaron Gaius.

You are the person I most want to see at Hogwarts, besides Harry Potter, and I know you will come, even a little faster than I thought. "

Aaron laughed sarcastically, "Actually, you don't need to think so highly of me. I'm just a nobody. There are many people in Hogwarts who are better than me."

"This is putting yourself down, Gaius." Riddle smiled meaningfully, "It took me five years to find the secret room, but it took you less time than me.

And you were able to deduce the existence of the basilisk from a series of attacks, and even deduce me as the person behind it, which is more remarkable than anyone else at Hogwarts. "

"Mainly just good luck, good luck." Aaron said modestly.

"Luck?" Riddle seemed to have heard some funny joke and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Gaius, you and I are the same kind of people.

We are also Slytherins, we also know the importance of hiding our clumsiness, and we do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. Do people like us believe in luck?

Ah...no, luck is still worth believing in.

If I hadn't been lucky enough to be picked up by Harry Potter, I might not even have known that there was a Slytherin like you in the school. You found out so many things quietly, which made me feel very worried. shock.

I know that I have to avoid you before the plan is completed, otherwise once you find the flaw, all my efforts will be wasted. "

When Aaron heard this, his resentment towards Harry Potter was further strengthened.

It can only be said that a wise man will always make mistakes. Who would have thought that Harry Potter could betray him so easily!

"What did you do to Ginny?" Ron asked with red eyes.

"She won't wake up and her life will be over in maybe half an hour."

"You did it all?" Harry asked in disbelief, "But why? Even if it's for Salazar's career, Ginny is a pureblood."

“This has nothing to do with whether she is pure blood or not, it can only mean that she is unlucky.

If I want to gain a new life, I must have a sacrifice, a new life or even a soul.

Of course, I paid a heavy price for this. "

Riddle's eyes were full of greed, but his voice was full of complacency and disgust.

"It's so boring, listening to an eleven-year-old girl talk about childish annoyances.

But I patiently answered her every word carefully and acted very considerate.

After I charmed her, she easily opened her soul to me, which was exactly what I needed most.

I devoured the fears, the secrets, from deep within her, growing stronger and stronger. "

"But after a while, she also started to doubt you, otherwise she wouldn't throw away the diary." Hermione said calmly.

"Of course, anyone who finds out that he has lost a lot of memory fragments and is related to several attacks will be afraid involuntarily.

To be honest, I had already planned to change the host, but what made me happiest was that Harry Potter picked up this diary.

Ginny has told me those thrilling and fascinating stories about you, and you are definitely the person I want to meet the most. "Riddle stared at the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead and let out a high-pitched laugh. "I originally wanted to know you as much as possible, and I also had many questions to ask you, but you gave me a huge surprise. I really I never thought that anyone besides Dumbledore would pose a threat to me at Hogwarts.

Out of caution, I had to keep a low profile and accumulate strength in secret.

But after Ginny Weasley discovered that the diary was in your possession, she stole the diary to prevent her secrets from being known to you.

Do you know how excited I was when I saw her again? It's hard for you and me to start, but a little girl is not easy to deceive.

I used her to release the basilisk again, attack a Ravenclaw, and force Dumbledore away.

After devouring most of her life, I learned from her soul that she was going to hand me over to Mr. Gaius. I had no choice but to walk out of the diary in advance in this manner and control her to write a suicide note. Then wait for you here.

She also struggled desperately and cried and fussed, but to no avail. "

"You deserve to die." Ron roared angrily, gritting his teeth and pointing his wand at him, "Expelliarmus."

The green light moved back and forth in the worn wand, and finally shot out from the front end under Ron's expectant gaze.

But Riddle didn't even recite the curse, he simply waved his wand to bounce the spell back, and Ron's wand came out of his hand.
