“It’s me, it’s me, it’s always been me.”

In Harry’s astonished eyes, Quirrell revealed his conspiracy word by word, with a hideous smile on his face:”It’s me who has been trying to steal the Philosopher’s Stone all along… Whether it’s sneaking into Gringotts or letting the troll in on Halloween, it’s all for this purpose.”

Harry seemed to be struck by lightning, and the joy in his heart disappeared in an instant. He looked at Quirrell’s ghost with cold hands and feet, and asked in a trembling voice:

“You and Snape are really in cahoots?!”

“Accomplice? Haha, Harry, you are so naive that it makes people feel distressed.”

Quirrell’s ghost laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke,”It is this innocence that makes the little wizard more lovable, isn’t it? Unlike that Ye Ting, who is always so annoying.”

The sarcasm on his face gradually faded, his eyes became cold and sharp, staring straight at Harry, and his voice dropped to the freezing point:

“Snape? He is not my partner. That guy has always been suspicious of me and threatening me… Humph, does he think he can scare me? What a joke. I have the Dark Lord as my backer. His little tricks are nothing to me.”

“Then… who is the Snape next to you?……”Harry looked at Snape, who was smiling evilly, and felt dizzy.

Snape laughed and took over the conversation easily.

At this moment, he was like a winner who was in control of the overall situation. He was full of pride and patience, and he gently explained Harry’s doubts:”Harry Potter, the boy who lived… You are mistaken, I am not that Snape. I am the Dark Lord you are always thinking about.” As soon as the voice fell, Harry was shocked to see that the face of”Snape” in front of him suddenly changed.

The iconic hooked nose and shiny black hair disappeared in an instant, replaced by a distorted and terrifying face.

The face was as pale as paper, like a dead chalk, the blood-red eyes flashed a cold light, and below were two narrow nostrils like poisonous snakes, which was creepy.

“I drank the Polyjuice Potion.” He smiled triumphantly,”That night, Quirrell and Snape were fighting, and I let him take the opportunity to pull out a few strands of Snape’s hair… Haha, you can’t imagine this, Snape himself was also caught off guard!”

“Why on earth would you do this?!” Harry’s voice was filled with suppressed fear.

“Why? It’s all because of that bastard Ye Ting!”

Hearing this question, Voldemort hadn’t spoken yet, but Quirrell got anxious first and roared impatiently:

“This is not the first time that the boy has prevented me from obtaining unicorn blood… He must have caught a glimpse of my true face before and informed Dumbledore, making the old fox wary of me… Otherwise, how could the level become so difficult? Why did so many students attack me, and why did Dumbledore turn a blind eye? I should have dealt with Ye Ting a long time ago!”

Quirrell’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said,”Since Dumbledore has become suspicious, the master has come up with a new plan.”

Voldemort remained silent, observing Harry’s reaction with interest, and gave the honor of talking nonsense to Quirrell.

It’s not that he didn’t want to mock Harry in person, but he was in possession of Quirrell’s body after all, and after Quirrell became a ghost, he still cooperated with his plan.

This method of exploiting someone even after he became a ghost, even for someone as evil as him, felt a little… Anyway, Quirrell was like this, so what’s wrong with letting him vent his emotions?

Quirrell continued proudly,”He cleverly turned me into a ghost, making everyone mistakenly believe that the danger was over, and he hid in my body, secretly planning how to take the magic stone.”

“And you, Potter! You became the key to his plan!”

“I am the key link?” Harry’s face was full of disbelief.

“”Yes.”

Quirrell laughed contemptuously,”Harry, you gave me inspiration. You always like to meddle in other people’s affairs, and you are so self-righteous that you think Snape is plotting against you, and you keep encouraging me.……”

Harry swallowed hard, a look of pain on his face.

“So I told you that Snape went to the forbidden area and led you here so that you could help the master find the Philosopher’s Stone. The master searched for a long time last time but couldn’t find it. Your arrival really helped a lot. You are worthy of being the one who helped me.……”

“But I still have the Philosopher’s Stone.” Harry retorted loudly

“But it soon became a thing of the past.” Quirrell shook his head,”You are not so naive as to think that you can stop the Master, are you?”

“You’re not going to succeed!” Harry yelled and turned to run.

However, Voldemort just waved his hand lightly, and Harry was hit by a huge force and hit the wall hard.

Voldemort raised his wand again, a light flashed, and a rope was summoned, tying Harry tightly, making him unable to move.

He could only watch Voldemort’s hand reach into his pocket and easily take out the red stone.

“Don’t worry, the master will modify your memory later, and you won’t remember all this anymore.”

Quirrell showed a smug smile on his face, as if he was the one who did it,”You will faint here, and when you wake up, you will be the only eyewitness, identifying Snape as the villain who stole the Philosopher’s Stone. By then, no one will question your words… Harry!”

Harry felt cold all over, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

His heart was full of regret and self-blame. Not only did he wrongly accuse Snape, but he also handed the Philosopher’s Stone to Voldemort. This was simply an unforgivable crime.

Why didn’t he be more cautious?

Why didn’t he listen to Professor McGonagall’s advice and stay at the Quidditch game?

Why did he try to be brave for a moment and play a reasoning game?

“Come on, Harry, let me rewrite your memory for you.”

Voldemort finally spoke, his voice full of cold cruelty,”When you wake up, you will no longer remember anything I said, and you will only believe that it was all Snape’s doing.”

He chuckled and continued,”We will mourn his departure together at school.”

A strong desire to resist surged in Harry’s heart, and he struggled, trying to break free from the restraints.

But Voldemort’s magic was too strong, and his little strength was completely useless.

In desperation, Harry could only bluff:”Professor McGonagall will soon notice my disappearance. I have left a message for Ye Ting, and they will soon come to bring you to justice!”

Voldemort smiled contemptuously.

“”Lies.” He said disdainfully,”But even if they really come, it will be useless. Because now, they are probably too busy to take care of themselves.”

“”What do you mean?!” Harry asked anxiously.

Quirrell took over the conversation with a grim smile on his face.”The master has awakened the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Today, it will swim out along the pipe and rush to the Quidditch field. There is a game there today, and the students are gathered there.”

He continued to smile triumphantly:”Even if someone finds out that you are not here, even if they want to save you, they have no time to take care of it now – soon, there will be a massacre on the Quidditch field! And Dumbledore is not in school, so this plan is foolproof.”

This is indeed a perfect plan. Even Quirrell couldn’t help but admire it. The Dark Lord’s mind is really meticulous.

But at this moment, a burst of music suddenly sounded in the air.

However, at this critical moment, bursts of music suddenly sounded in the air.

This music is illusory and ethereal, ethereal and mysterious, and it makes people excited.

Voldemort turned around abruptly and looked at the empty room.

Although there was no one in the room, the music became louder and louder. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Suddenly, flames ignited out of thin air, and a crimson phoenix spread its wings and flew out from the blazing flames, making a high-pitched and exciting cry.

“Fawkes… is this Dumbledore coming back?”Voldemort exclaimed in astonishment,”He should still be in London!” Fawkes pounced on Voldemort without hesitation, aiming his sharp beak at his arm.

Voldemort quickly raised his wand and aimed it at the brave phoenix.

For a moment, Fawkes and Voldemort were engaged in a fierce battle.

With Voldemort’s current ability, he could not immediately deal with the phoenix, and Fawkes, relying on his ability to fly and his fast speed, kept flying around Voldemort, and swooped down to peck him when he saw a flaw.

After a stalemate for a while, Voldemort became very impatient, and he struck Fawkes back with a sudden blow, then turned and left

“This damn beast is really annoying. Let’s go, Quirrell.” Voldemort said angrily

“Master, our plan……”Qi Luo seemed a little unwilling, and hesitated to speak.

“Fawkes’s appearance means Dumbledore may be on his way.”Voldemort’s voice revealed obvious impatience,” We have already obtained the Philosopher’s Stone, let’s complete the resurrection first.……”

As long as he can be completely resurrected, everything will be solved!

Quirrell had no choice but to turn around and follow Voldemort away.

Harry, who was tied to the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Fox did not chase the departing enemy, but landed lightly on Harry’s shoulder and pecked the ropes on him with his sharp beak.

Earlier, in the long-abandoned bathroom, unlike what Harry thought, Ye Ting was not only in the locker room of the Quidditch field, but appeared here.

He stood in front of a mottled mirror, happily adjusting the angle of the top hat on his head.

This hat was once the hat he would wear when performing magic shows, and it was considered a magic prop.

And today, he is about to perform a unique”pigeon magic” in the secret room.

Myrtle was floating in the air, her eyes fixed on Ye Ting’s handsome face that even Ms. Grey was attracted to.

The female ghost’s voice was a little shy, and she asked tentatively:”Are you… sure you want to go in?”

“Of course.”

Ye Ting looked at the ghost through the mirror,”But, Myrtle, you don’t have to be so happy, right? Look at your smile, your mouth is almost stretched to the back of your head.”

Myrtle shook her head, her voice trembling:”No… No, Ye Ting. I just thought of something happy.”

“”Oh?” Ye Ting raised his eyebrows,”Then tell me, what makes you so happy?”

Myrtle lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:”If you die, I… I am willing to use that flush toilet with you.”

After saying that, her face turned silver-white, obviously she was extremely shy.

Ye Ting didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:”Uh… this, should I say thank you?”

“No… no need,” Myrtle’s voice became smaller and smaller,”Although I don’t want to compete with Ms. Grey, but you…you, I…I’m willing to give it a try.”

She thought for a moment and added,”My flush toilet is very useful, and it also has a jacuzzi.”

Ye Ting couldn’t help laughing:”Haha, then I have to seriously consider your suggestion.”

After that, he turned his gaze to the side of the brass faucet, groped for a clockwork beetle from his pocket, and then ordered:”Play the recording.”

The clockwork beetle (Li Li Zhao) opened his mouth and made a series of hissing sounds, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue.

If Harry was present, he would definitely be able to recognize the true meaning of the sound – it was the Parseltongue meaning”open”.

This hissing sound was actually a recording, and the person being recorded was Voldemort himself. The two ghost spies arranged by Ye Ting both made great contributions this time.

Mrs. Grey helped Ye Ting pass on the news that Dumbledore had left school, and Myrtle revealed the news that Voldemort had left the Chamber of Secrets.

The ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion were so rare that even Voldemort needed them. To make it, you have to steal Snape’s collection.

As soon as Ye Ting got the news from Myrtle, he immediately sent the specially modified clockwork beetle to the vicinity of the abandoned bathroom.

Sure enough, when Voldemort returned to the Chamber of Secrets, the beetle successfully captured the sound of him opening the door.

To be honest, even if this method can’t open the door of the Chamber of Secrets, it’s no big deal.

After all, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was not built by Slytherin himself.

At the beginning, the way to enter the Chamber of Secrets was not like this.

Its birth can be traced back to the 18th century, by a student named Corvinus Gaunt.[]

At that time, Hogwarts was undergoing a major renovation of its pipelines, and this descendant of Slytherin accidentally discovered the secret chamber left by his ancestors during the construction. In order to protect this secret, he tampered with the entrance and created this mechanism. At the time, Corvinus Gaunt was just a slightly talented student, not a magic master, so it was no problem for Ye Ting to crack his magic.

Dumbledore had not found the secret chamber for so many years, not because he could not solve the puzzle of the entrance, but because he simply did not know where the entrance was hidden.
