Chapter 214 Maybe There Is Another Way
Faced with the professors' disbelief, Penelope stepped forward to explain: "The cause of this matter is Professor Quirrell. We found that his problem started when Yang Tian was injured..." She spoke with great emotion, revealing the cause and effect of the whole incident...
Penelope's story caused an uproar at the scene, and professors began to ask questions one after another.
"How dare you fight with an adult wizard, even the Dark Lord. Are you hurt?" Professor McGonagall hurried forward to check.
"How could it be possible that Voldemort followed Quirrell into Hogwarts?" Professor Sprout said in shock.
"Children, this is a very dangerous thing. Don't do it next time." Professor Flitwick warned seriously.
"So, do you have any evidence for everything you just said?" Snape questioned.
"Of course." Facing Snape's questioning, Yang Tian said he was not panicked at all. He took out the soul-binding talisman with a smile, and after turning his hand seals one after another, the blue talisman gradually changed and finally turned into an illusory cage.
The change in the cage seemed to have alarmed Voldemort inside, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Asshole, damn brat, let me out, or you will die miserably! If you have the guts, don't use those two little pieces of paper, let's have a good fight!"
Dumbledore looked at the scene in the transparent cage and lost his composure. He asked in surprise, "Tom, is it really you?"
"Dumbledore? Why are you here? Oh, I see, it turns out that this kid is just a trap, everything was designed by you!" Voldemort went crazy: "But don't be complacent! You can't kill me, I will come back again!" As he said that, he stared at Snape.
Before he finished speaking, the blue talisman had returned to its original appearance.
But Yang Tian said weakly with sweat all over his face: "Sorry, my magic power is limited now, and I can only hold on for so long."
The four deans were clearly still in shock, and Dumbledore was ashamed when he heard this. My goodness, not everyone can catch Voldemort, right?
After a long pause, Flitwick asked worriedly, "Are you sure that Quirrell has surrendered to the Dark Lord and was not forced?"
"How should I put it? At least from their conversation, he called Voldemort his master and put Voldemort's interests first in everything. As for whether there are other inside stories, we don't know." Yang Tian answered solemnly, and the other friends also responded.
"What about the Philosopher's Stone? You just said that you got the Philosopher's Stone." Snape looked at the boy in front of him with contradiction and asked.
Hearing this, Yang Tian hurriedly pushed Neville in front of everyone with a smile. Neville also quickly stepped forward and awkwardly handed over the Philosopher's Stone.
Dumbledore didn't even look at the Philosopher's Stone. At this moment, he stared at Yang Tian with bright eyes and asked, "Why is it Neville?"
Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, then offered the answer he had prepared long ago: "It's actually an attempt, right? I'm not completely sure. According to Voldemort, the Philosopher's Stone is hidden in the Mirror of Erised, but with his advanced magic level, he has no way to crack it; and the headmaster's actions also indirectly confirm this point. If there is a safer place to put the Philosopher's Stone, it must be next to the headmaster, not in the game for the entertainment of young wizards; so I guess the headmaster must be absolutely sure that Voldemort will not be able to get the Philosopher's Stone no matter what."
"Then the question is, why is the headmaster so confident? It must not be a test of magic, but a test of human heart. So I made a bold guess that those who want to find the Philosopher's Stone cannot obtain it, but if it is so simple, it seems that no one can find it anymore; so I thought of another possibility, that only those who want to find it but don't want to use it can take the Philosopher's Stone out of the mirror."
In fact, Yang Tian’s analysis was already far-fetched, but his reverse reasoning after knowing the answer and his preconceived inferences made everyone feel that this was indeed the case.
Dumbledore's eyes became brighter, and he continued to ask: "What happened next?"
Yang Tian smiled shyly and said, "This request seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. At least I can't do it. If I can find the Philosopher's Stone, I will definitely use it and study it seriously. But I know Neville can do it, because of his loyalty and integrity. He will do his best to complete the entrustment given to him by his friends, rather than considering personal gains and losses. So, it should be him, right?"
Neville looked at Yang Tian excitedly. As expected, his good brother understood him and he had never let him down.
Everyone present showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
As for Dumbledore, he already had admiration written all over his face.
Only Snape's expression was still conflicted. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything...
Seeing that everyone had no more questions, Dumbledore finally announced: "Well, everyone, you have all worked hard today. You should go back to bed first, it will be dawn soon... However, I have to delay Yang Tian for a little while."
......
Looking at the completely closed door of the headmaster's office, Dumbledore finally asked tentatively: "Can you give this to me?"
Yang Tian was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, I'm afraid this won't work. After all, this is just a talisman, it can't hold him forever. When the energy in the talisman disappears, it won't be able to hold him back anymore."
Dumbledore was shocked and asked quickly, "What are you going to do? If Voldemort escapes again, it will definitely be a disaster."
Yang Tian smiled confidently and said, “The best way at the moment is to suppress him in the Yang family.”
Dumbledore said cautiously, "Are you sure this will work? You must understand that if he escapes, your family will also suffer great harm."
Yang Tian said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Principal. No matter how powerful Voldemort is, he is only a spirit now. China has many ways to suppress ghosts, which is guaranteed to be foolproof."
Actually, Yang Tian didn't tell the truth. He didn't want to hand over Voldemort to the Yang family. He just wanted to keep this legendary village chief close to him. But before that, he needed to ask his grandfather for a treasure that could hold his soul. You know, Voldemort had too many secrets. What he said before the final battle also puzzled Yang Tian. He wanted to crack it all by himself. Of course, Yang Tian still had tons of soul magic that needed an experimental subject, right?
At this time, Dumbledore was seriously looking at the child in front of him again. From this child, he really saw another way to deal with Voldemort! If, if everything is as expected, then can the remaining parts be imprisoned in the same way? What about Harry? Maybe there is really no need to carry out that cold plan?
