#791 - PTSD (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

"Dripped on the paper? Could it be that you can also take potions?" Ginny looked at the diary with a sense of novelty. She originally thought that Tom, like those magical oil paintings, was just a part of the previous owner's memory.

"Taking it is certainly impossible, but I can distinguish the ingredients of potions through contact." Voldemort manifested a line of elegant text, patiently coaxing, "If I don't experience it myself, I won't believe there is such a powerful potion."

"Okay, I'll convince you today!" Ginny grinned, muttering triumphantly, then picked up the Physique Potion and dripped two drops onto the page.

The two drops of potion, upon touching the paper, immediately permeated it like ink.

At the same time, the Voldemort consciousness within the diary suddenly shook.

This is?

The taste of life energy!

Voldemort, proficient in blood magic and dark magic, immediately recognized the ingredients of this so-called attribute potion. It was actually composed of life energy!

Although the content was not high, it was very pure.

How is that possible? Does Anduin have the Philosopher's Stone in his hands? Or has he mastered the technology to extract pure life energy?

Voldemort was very shocked to sense the life energy. Even he, in his past life, could not refine such pure life energy.

Moreover, let alone refining it, it was the first time he had tasted this kind of life energy.

At the same time, Voldemort also felt the power of this life energy for the first time. His soul, which had been weakened by the previous suicide, was actually strengthened a lot by these two drops of potion.

It was conceivable that if he could get more similar life potions, he would definitely be able to recover his strength faster, and then he would not be controlled by a little witch.

Thinking of this, a line of words immediately appeared on the diary, "Two drops are not enough, drop a few more drops, let me analyze it for you carefully."

Ginny frowned slightly when she saw this. How could it be so troublesome? These two bottles of attribute potions were exchanged for her by Ron at the cost of all his points. If she poured out a few more drops, the effect might not be so good.

Therefore, Ginny decisively refused, "That won't do. I still want to drink this potion. Anyway, believe it or not, it's up to you, and with your ability, I don't think you can analyze anything."

Ginny no longer trusted the diary's abilities as much as she did at the beginning, so she was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Tom. She raised the potion bottle and prepared to pour it into her mouth.

Voldemort in the diary was suddenly anxious when he saw this. Who knew how long it would take to recover his strength if he missed this opportunity?

It seemed that this little girl was becoming more and more difficult to control, damn it!

In a flash, Voldemort made up his mind and decided not to continue pretending. As long as he could absorb this life energy, he would be able to escape soon.

Immediately, the diary on the table suddenly burst out with a terrifying magic power, and condensed into several pale green transparent tentacles, sweeping towards the potion in Ginny's hand to snatch it.

At this time, Ginny was completely unprepared, and didn't realize that a diary would suddenly attack. In an instant, the potion in her hand was taken away by the other party.

She saw her legs kick hard, and a backward fall shattered the chair, taking advantage of the momentum to retreat several steps, and drew out her wand, ready to fight.

"Tom! What the hell are you doing?" Until now, Ginny couldn't believe that the friend who had been with her day and night for several months would betray her.

"Hahaha! Stupid witch, I've been enduring you for a long time!"

After snatching the potion, Voldemort didn't hesitate at all. He absorbed it all in an instant, and sensing his spirit and soul gradually recovering strength nourished by life energy, he was too lazy to pretend anymore.

"What? You bastard!"

Hearing that Tom in the diary could actually make a sound and speak rudely, Ginny realized that she had been deceived, and was immediately furious.

"Expelliarmus!"

Ginny couldn't bear the fact that she had been betrayed, and was also ashamed of trusting others so easily. She raised her hand and cast a Disarming Charm that she had just learned recently.

But how could Voldemort be hurt by a spell of this level? Although Ginny's initial attributes were good, her spellcasting level was only at the beginner level.

He saw those emerald green tentacles casually flick, and slapped the magic bullet that shot over to the side.

And this was not the end. Those tentacles then quickly converged into a pointed spear, and stabbed fiercely at Ginny.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Ginny was heavily knocked away, and smashed directly into the wall on the edge, and the dust splashed up continued to fill the room.

However, when the dust cleared, what Voldemort saw was a little witch who was unscathed.

Just as the tentacle attack was about to hit Ginny's body, several auras of light instantly lit up on her body, and the multiple shields that were propped up protected Ginny tightly.

So let alone being injured, Ginny didn't even have a corner of her clothes brushed.

"Hmph, it seems that you are very much loved by Anduin. Every time I see these alchemy protective gears on your body, I get annoyed."

Voldemort waved his tentacles as if they were a hideous mouth, roaring unscrupulously.

"But it's over! Today I'll let you know how powerful I am. I don't know what kind of expression Anduin will have when he sees his dear goddaughter turn into a corpse?"

"No..." Voldemort suddenly changed his tone, and grinned, "Perhaps I should control your body, and then let you pierce Anduin's chest with your own hands, so that he knows the consequences of annoying the Dark Lord!"

"Dark Lord? Are you Voldemort?" Ginny looked at the other party with an ugly face, and at the same time was secretly anxious.

Apart from these alchemy equipment on her body, she had no other means of resistance. Could it be that she would really be unable to escape the other party's clutches today?

Thinking of this, Ginny secretly pressed towards her abdomen. Her belt buckle was actually an emergency alarm device. Her godfather had told her that if she encountered danger, she could ask for help through it.

But now Ginny didn't know if her godfather would be in time. She knew that Apparition was forbidden in Hogwarts.

Voldemort on the other side also noticed Ginny's actions. He also knew that the other party had many strange little gadgets on her body. He couldn't let her escape so easily after just saying harsh words.

Voldemort didn't give Ginny any chance to act, and immediately turned the tentacles into a spear shape again, and stabbed fiercely at Ginny again.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two consecutive heavy blows instantly made Ginny dizzy, so that she didn't even have time to trigger the distress signal, and the magic shield in front of her also showed a trace of cracks under such an attack, and it seemed that it would not last for a few more blows!

"Hahaha! Become my toy! You little trash!"

Voldemort laughed triumphantly when he saw this, and then charged up again, stabbing out the final blow.

At this time, he seemed to have seen Ginny, this little girl, successfully fall into his hands, and release the basilisk under his control, setting off a sea of corpses and blood!

Just as Voldemort's sure-fire blow was about to hit Ginny, an ear-piercing 'crack' suddenly sounded in the void in front of him.

Then the space in the center of the house suddenly cracked as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade, and then a figure flashing with blazing electric light stepped out of it.

"Who did you just say was a little trash?"

Anduin, who was holding the tentacle spear tightly in his left hand, had a storm brewing in his eyes that seemed to destroy the world, and the voice he made was so cold that it could almost freeze time.

"Godfather!" Seeing the savior descend from the sky, Ginny was so excited that she almost jumped up, but she also knew that there were still enemies on the opposite side, and she couldn't mess around casually.

"Anduin? How did you appear here?"

Voldemort was almost scared out of his wits when he saw this young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Don't look at Voldemort's arrogance when he was clamoring in front of Ginny before, but he had actually suffered from 'Anduin PTSD' a long time ago. He had not forgotten how the other party had tortured him.

So when he really faced Anduin, he didn't even dare to fart, and at the same time, what made him even more puzzled was, he had clearly stopped Ginny's actions just now, why was Anduin's reaction so fast?

Could this be another conspiracy specifically aimed at him?

Voldemort, who always liked to think on the dark side, suddenly had this idea in his mind.

Damn it, even using his goddaughter, are you still human?

Anduin, who broke through the air, had no habit of explaining to the enemy.

"Hmph, I finally caught you again, you idiot."

With a cold snort, Anduin exerted force with his left hand, and then he saw a thick stream of plasma wrapping around the tentacles along his arm.

"Ah!"

The familiar feeling of pain went straight into the depths of Voldemort's soul along the magic tentacles, which once again evoked a memory that made him unbearable to look back on.

At the same time, the current Voldemort no longer had the slightest intention to confront Anduin. He was only thinking about how to escape from the other party's clutches.

Thinking of this, Voldemort was ready to disconnect the magic tentacles, and then use the remaining magic power to rush out of the diary. The Horcrux was no longer important now, at least don't let his soul fall into the other party's hands.

But Anduin's reaction at this time was even faster. Just in the gap of using Huang Lei's attack, he also raised his right hand and threw out a dense purple metal net.

This was the Soul Shackles that Anduin had made after studying with Nicolas Flamel for a period of time, combining ancient runes such as 'Soul Tracking' and 'Soul Mastery', which can be said to be an advanced prop of the Soul Restraint Lock.

Voldemort, who was wrapped in the Soul Shackles, was like a water snake that had fallen into a fishing net. The twisted soul body could only struggle and scurry around in it, but it could not break through it in the slightest.

"Collect!"

Anduin muttered softly, and the Soul Shackles that were wrapped into a ball flew back into the air and fell into his hands. Then he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Voldemort, and put him into the container that used to hold the Dementor beads.

After solving Voldemort, Anduin breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't for the protection equipment he gave Ginny having the function of automatically alarming after activation, he would have almost ruined the big thing.

Thinking of this, Anduin couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Ginny sternly, "As a wizard, don't you know the dangers of unknown magical items? You don't have any vigilance against this kind of messy things! You even dare to hide it privately?"

"I'm sorry, Godfather, I know I was wrong!" Ginny, who had been slapped a few times by Voldemort in the corner of the wall, also knew that she had almost caused a catastrophe at this time. Facing Anduin's reprimand, she didn't even have the mind to act coquettishly or quibble.

At this time, only deep fear and fear remained in her mind. If she had really been captured by Voldemort just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Just apologizing is not enough!" Anduin was obviously really angry at this time, "Do you know that it was because of this broken book that you almost harmed your companions?"

At the moment of seeing Voldemort, Anduin had connected all the strange things that had happened recently. He finally understood why that house elf would risk breaking into Hogwarts, and why Ron and Hermione would be stained with inexplicably appearing negative energy.

Presumably this was all caused by Voldemort. What made him even more afraid was that if he hadn't armed Ginny to the teeth, the first to suffer would probably be his goddaughter.

"What?" Ginny was stunned when she heard this, "Godfather, what do you mean by this? Did that book also affect other people?"

"Haven't you noticed that your brother Ron and Hermione have become very abnormal recently? The remnants of dark magic emitted by this dangerous item can even erode other people's minds invisibly!" Anduin scolded coldly.

"This..." Ginny recalled everything that had happened recently, and then realized that what her godfather said was true. As long as they were her friends and relatives, they had all had some strange changes recently.

Thinking of this, Ginny's eyes were immediately stained red with shame and remorse, and tears could not help but roll around in her eyes.

"What are you crying for?" Anduin glared at Ginny again, "Knowing only to regret, not knowing to change, is the performance of the weak. Instead of crying, it's better to think about how to make up for the mistakes you made."

"Yes, Godfather!" Ginny wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Hmm..." Seeing Ginny's state, Anduin nodded with relief. He was afraid that Ginny would not realize the serious consequences of her improper behavior, and it would be troublesome if she made the same mistake again in the future.

After all, Anduin could not always be by Ginny's side to protect her.

"Next, until Christmas, your training volume will be doubled!" Anduin said coldly, "As for Ron and them, you find a chance to apologize to them yourself, but don't tell them that Voldemort is still alive, understand?"

"Understood!" Ginny no longer acted as coquettish and willful as before, but honestly responded.

"Also, this thing is for you."

Anduin took out a glass bottle, which was flashing with milky white light, which looked like liquid, but more like pure light.

"It is blessed holy water. Dripping it into drinking water and taking it can remove the negative energy stained on your body. This is for you to atone for your sins."
