Chapter 693

Ever since he saw Riddle, Solim had been thinking about a question - Tom. What kind of being Riddle was to Dumbledore?

Former students?

The biggest opponent?

Or a soul that filled Dumbledore with remorse and was not saved in time?

Perhaps Dumbledore saw a shadow of his past in Tom Riddle. When he was young, he was crazy about power, but Riddle didn't have a sister who died to keep him awake.

So the "sober" Dumbledore thought it was his duty and responsibility to turn Riddle on the wrong path, and when Riddle chose to cooperate with Dumbledore's approach, he was able to have the situation he was in?

Solim didn't know how much of his guesses were right, but he was sure that Dumbledore wasn't in the right situation, and he must have been influenced by Riddle.

Dumbledore waited patiently, knowing how the events would affect those in the know. Take his old friend Alasto, for example, if he had just been here, he would definitely point his wand to his nose without saying a word, let alone an impulsive person like Sirius, so Dumbledore understood Solim at this time.

In Dumbledore's opinion, Solim's performance was already very restrained - if you ignore the wand he had put away and the phoenix that still sat on his shoulder.

Is there any contradiction between Solim and Riddle?

If he really sees him as an independent individual, there is really no contradiction or conflict of interest between Solim and Riddle, and judging by his abandonment of the Resurrection Stone, Riddle has made a move to distance himself from his past - at least he does so.

Can you trust him?

It's very difficult for anyone who knows a little bit about Riddle and what he used to do.

When he was still a student at Hogwarts, this guy killed his father's family, and then blamed his uncle for the incident, indirectly killing him. To put it simply, it is self-destructive.

For someone like Riddle, no amount of vigilance is enough, because you don't even know if he's calculating you—if you're worth being counted by him.

Does Solim have that value? Naturally, there is.

Dumbledore, as the person who knew Voldemort best, was still just a guess, and Solim was able to find the Horcrux again and again, and for this reason, Solim had the value of being used.

Solim could put that aside for now, but there was one issue he had to figure out.

"Now that you've done this to this extent, headmaster, you must have thought it through. Solim didn't look at the resurrection stone on the table again, like a bargain on a stall that cost less than two dollars—though the priceless resurrection stone did look like the ground on the outside.

"Maybe you've already taken the question, maybe you haven't...... How do you prove that he—" Solim pointed at Riddle, "that he won't fight back? What are you going to do with a man who can't be changed in his bones, and if this plan fails?"

"Your expectations of the good things in human nature are likely to have serious consequences. "Solim was a bit like Professor McGonagall at this point, stern.

"Trust needs to be built little by little. Riddle spoke, "Only by improving mutual understanding can it be possible to resolve differences." I think we can build trust with each other—"

"No way!" Solim replied categorically, he knew what the guy in front of him had done, but because of his own reasons, Riddle didn't have a chance to do it.

"It's still possible. Riddle smiled confidently, "Look—you've just changed the name you called me, isn't that a good start?"

Solim choked on Riddle and nearly interrupted his train of thought.

"I can see that you are very wary and distrustful of me—I understand that. Riddle's tone matched the content of his speech well, "After all, the soul I separated from is a collection of negative emotions—and my birth was a mistake, and because of this mistake, the negative emotions are extraordinarily strong. I don't have anything to defend in this matter, but after all, it was done by another 'me', and isn't it unfair to blame me for something that I didn't do?"

Solim's eyes narrowed, he knew how Dumbledore was "convinced".

I have to say that Riddle is very powerful, and he pointed out the key to the matter in just a few sentences.

Riddle was born with an aphrodisiac, and children born under such conditions are born with an innate emotional deficit – a proven fact – and he is not the first to be born with an aphrodisiac. Solim had already read the relevant information in the library of Selwyn Castle.

The lack of emotion and indifference was not his fault, but because of his mother. Therefore, all the tragedies caused by this emotional indifference and human defects cannot be entirely attributed to Riddle as a person, and his mother is very responsible.

That's what Riddle was trying to say.

At the same time, he also pointed out that "negative emotions are extraordinarily powerful", implying that when the soul was split, there was too much dross, and he could only succumb to objective facts if he wanted to preserve his humanity, which led to the birth of Voldemort, an individual with negative emotions, when the Horcrux of the diary was made.

"I was 'whole' at the time, and I had a strong desire for emotions. Riddle seemed to be stuck in a memory.

Of course, in Solim's opinion, he is pretending to be "stuck in memory"

"But I could only feel hatred—too many negative emotions to suppress the few normal emotions in my human nature—and I couldn't feel the joy and excitement of my peers. Riddle said, "Fortunately, I found a solution to this problem in the Forbidden Book Zone at that time - Horcruxes. "

Solim sneered inwardly.

"In my opinion, that's a solution – not perfect, but it's a solution. At that time, I had no choice but to take a chance. "

"I did a lot of preparation for this, including asking Professor Slughorn about Horcruxes. I knew it was unrealistic to try to get rid of all the negative emotions at once - those emotions had to be attached to the soul as a vehicle, and I asked Professor Slughorn what the limits of what the limits of what could be done with Horcruxes - but apparently, I scared him. "

Riddle smiled, "I was anxious at the time, I found the direction but couldn't confirm the final result. "

"At first, I was going to strip away the negative emotions little by little, so that I could still dominate my body as a 'subject', but I was thinking too simply-"

Riddle sighed.

"Those negative emotions were too powerful, they dominated the soul so much that it was completely unexpected, and in the end I was separated. "

After listening to Riddle's words, Solim's heart almost faltered. _
