Chapter 95: Quirrell: I Don’t Admit It

"R-really? How come I didn't know?"

Quirrell's smile was forced, and he wondered if Sebastian had seen something.

Could it be that the adult was discovered?

This thought made Quirrell feel a sense of fear, as if a cold hand was tightly grasping his heart.

He took a breath calmly, trying to calm his inner tension.

Quirrell felt it silently and found that the adult on the back of his head had fallen into complete silence, as if all his senses had been closed.

He rolled his eyes slightly and secretly observed Sebastian, and found that Sebastian opposite him looked normal and did not show any signs of facing a serious enemy.

It seems that it may have nothing to do with that adult.

Maybe I was overthinking it.

Don't panic at this time!

Thinking of this, Quirrell relaxed his vigilance a little.

Looking at the stubborn Quirrell, Sebastian smiled and spoke teasingly.

"Haven't you always wanted to steal something from the deep corridor on the fourth floor, Professor Quirrell?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck Quirrell's heart. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and a hint of imperceptible panic appeared on his seemingly calm face.

He tried hard to control his expression and stay calm, but there was a storm in his heart.

How did Sebastian find himself wanting to steal?

What else does he know?

Quirrell's heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly rose to his throat again. He was worried that the secret of his possession by Voldemort had been discovered.

He tried hard to look innocent and spoke calmly.

"I s-don't s-understand y-what you're s-saying."

Sebastian smiled slightly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Then tell me, your office is on the third floor, why do I often see you hanging around on the fourth floor?"

"As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, you would be frightened by a giant monster. This is too unreasonable!"

"And, as far as I know, you also designed a level yourself, and there is a giant monster inside. How do you explain this?" Sebastian pressed on step by step, with the doubt in his tone becoming increasingly severe.

Quirrell's palms began to sweat, and he felt an invisible pressure on his chest making it hard for him to breathe.

He forced a smile: "That's--that's--because--"

"You were the one who secretly let the giant monster in at the Halloween party! The purpose was to cause panic and then attack from the east." Sebastian did not give him a chance to explain. His voice suddenly rose, and his tone was full of coercion and questioning. "Am I right, Professor Quirrell?"

Quirrell's expression changed completely, his eyes began to avoid, he could no longer remain calm, the fear and anxiety in his heart had consumed him.

Quirrell said in a panic, "Nonsense! You are slandering me!"

"I—have—no—intention—to steal—the Philosopher's Stone."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Quirrell was stunned.

broken......

So panicked!

It's bald!

The other party did not say that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden deep inside the fourth floor.

And Dumbledore didn't say clearly what was hidden there.

Before he had time to regret, Quirrell saw Sebastian looking at him with contempt: "Professor Quirrell, did I just mention the Philosopher's Stone?"

Then, Sebastian changed the subject and acted like a genius: "Don't be nervous, Professor Quirrell. We are actually from the same group."

A traveler?

What do you mean?

A strong curiosity arose in Quirrell's heart, and he was eager to know what Sebastian meant.

Sebastian smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Actually, you are not the only one who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone. I have the same idea. We are natural allies."

So that’s it!

Here comes another one who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone!

This guy looks sanctimonious, but it turns out he is a hypocrite!

Quirrell, who had relaxed a little, pretended to be surprised and said, "You - you - want to steal - the Philosopher's Stone?! Aren't you - afraid - that - I'll tell - the headmaster about this?"

Sebastian mentally rolled his eyes.

The acting looks quite similar!

If I didn't know the plot, I would have been fooled by you.

He pointed his hand toward the door and said slowly, "Please, Professor Quirrell, you can go and expose me now."

"Let's see whether the principal believes you or me!"

Sebastian paused and said regretfully, "I came here with sincerity. If you insist on not cooperating, then we will be competitors."

"Let's try our best and see who has the better skills."

Sebastian paused, observing Quirrell's reaction, and then added, "By the way, if I can't get the Philosopher's Stone, I'll keep an eye on you and make sure you can't get it either."

"Please consider my suggestion."

As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

Quirrell's expression kept changing, as if he was caught in a struggle between himself and himself.

Looking at the conflicted Quirrell, Sebastian did not urge him at all, but just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

In fact, Sebastian came to see Quirrell today not simply to provoke him, but to plant a seed for saving him in the future.

This was not a whim, but a well-considered decision.

He wanted to set an example in the wizarding world, an example that, in addition to the savior, ordinary people could also escape from Voldemort.

This would not only break Voldemort's invincible image once again, but also help Harry share the firepower.

In addition, if Quirrell survived, he could confirm with his own mouth that Voldemort regarded his followers as worthless and that there was no future in following him.

In short, if Quirrell can be rescued, there will definitely be many benefits.

However, Sebastian knew very well that Quirrell was now on high alert and vigilant to any disturbance in Hogwarts.

Therefore, he chose to disguise himself as someone who also wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone and perform a trick.

As long as Sebastian can become Quirrell's ally and gain his trust, he will be able to control the overall situation more clearly.

Before Quirrell sucked the unicorn's blood, he helped him and gave him hope, so that he would not fall completely.

In this way, the chance of saving Quirrell can be increased to more than 50%.

Of course, Sebastian didn't expect Quirrell to believe him immediately.

Seeing that Quirrell was lost in thought, Sebastian decided to play hard to get. He turned around and walked slowly towards the office door.

He knew that Quirrell would not let him leave like this. Even if he wanted to, the people behind him would not want to.

Sure enough, when Sebastian was about to open the door, Quirrell's fluent words came from behind him.

"Professor Swan, please stay!"
