HP in the name of Slytherin

Chapter 285 Tom Slytherin

"Am I going to die?" Tom asked Catherine.

Voldemort's voice had disappeared, but Tom couldn't tell whether Voldemort was really dead, or if he had lost his body and therefore his hearing.

He didn't even think about how he could still speak, and how long he could speak.

"I really like you, Catherine, my sister." If he was going to disappear in the next second, he hoped that he could still look at Catherine until the end.

Remember her gray hair, remember her gray-blue eyes, remember her delicate face...

"Does it hurt?"

"Well..." Tom burst into tears without realizing it, "but if you comfort me, it will be okay."

Even if Catherine lied to him and wanted to wipe out him, a being with the same soul as Voldemort, it didn't matter.

He was originally designed to love Catherine. How much love could there be in Voldemort's soul? It was all gathered into Tom's soul, but it was actually still empty.

But when he really came into contact with Catherine, that little bit of soul slowly grew into a complete form. Because of Catherine's response, because she brought him into her world, he met many people as Tom Slytherin, found Abu, and also got to know Herbo and Severus...

His soul was complete because of her.

So there will be no resentment.

"Who are you?" Catherine suddenly asked him.

Amidst the unbearable pain, Tom still found that Catherine had changed, "You...what's wrong..."

Why were her eyes suddenly staring at him, completely different from her previous gentle, helpless or cunning look?

Tom's mind was a little blurry due to the pain.

Hailbo was so anxious that he wanted to rush out, but he couldn't move.

"Who are you?" she asked again.

"Who are you..." Tom endured the pain and took a step forward, trying to grab Catherine who suddenly became a stranger, "You took her..."

"Who are you!" "Catherine" asked sternly, bringing with her an overwhelming force that made Tom unable to stand and he fell to his knees.

"You put her..." Tom still grabbed her clothes relentlessly, but the moment he looked up at "Catherine", a scene he saw when he was a child appeared in his mind at an inappropriate time -

He went to church with everyone in the orphanage.

In the dim church, the figure nailed to the cross looked down at everything below.

No sadness, no joy, no resentment, no anger.

That's what God is like, they said.

Tom seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. He just cried and said instinctively: "I am Tom Slytherin, your brother!"

So don't look at me with such strange and distant eyes, don't abandon me... and don't hurt me.

There was a sudden sharp pain in his head, and Tom could no longer bear it and fainted completely.

Helpo rushed forward, but he didn't expect that he could move this time. He fell directly on Tom's face, covered with tears. [Ah! This little wizard made Helpo so anxious! Woo, so many tears, so wet! Helpo became wet! ]

Catherine suddenly took a deep breath, as if she had suddenly woken up from some mysterious dream, and took a few deep breaths, "It will be clean if you wipe it, it's okay."

She squatted down and picked up Helbo, then touched Tom's forehead and heart.

Everything is fine, the body temperature is normal, and the heartbeat is normal.

[Helpo is so scared, this idiot didn't even answer his question!] Helpo complained.

Catherine was also awake at the time, but her body was controlled by the world consciousness. The world consciousness wanted to confirm whether Tom was Tom Slytherin or Tom Riddle. If it was the latter, he would be strangled along with Voldemort, and if it was the former...

For a normal creature, the soul should be complete, no matter how he was created at the beginning.

Fortunately, Tom answered correctly, and the world consciousness completed his soul. In this way, although Tom's life is still related to Catherine, he will not face the dilemma of incomplete soul and inability to reincarnate after death.

[Finally solved!] Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.

Haierbo realized it belatedly and said, "Ah, that bad guy is dead!"

He was strangled directly by the world consciousness, and even Tom, who had become independent, was almost affected. This time, there was really no soul fragment left.

[Yes, we can find a way to go home. ]

【Great! 】

"Catherine!" Tom screamed and suddenly sat up, almost bumping into Catherine beside him.

"You wake up and feel..."

Before Catherine could finish her words, Tom hugged her. Soon, a cold and wet feeling spread around her neck. Tom cried silently and didn't even have time to pay attention to Herbert's deliberate teasing of "Why are you crying, little wizard?"

His soul returned to peace, even more complete than before, and Tom's thinking became clearer.

He wanted to blame Catherine for the sudden attack and for pushing him out when the world consciousness descended. But he knew that Catherine would let him exist, in part, to restrain Voldemort who had bound her to the contract.

So she pushed him out. Tom knew it was not good to show up in front of the world consciousness at this time, but he still used magic to remind the world consciousness that this so-called descendant of God was unusual, and his soul and existence violated the laws of nature.

But a voice in his heart told him that even if Catherine wanted to kill Voldemort, she would not kill him too... After being together for such a long time, it was impossible for Catherine to have no feelings for him at all, and she would not really... ignore everything in order to achieve her goal. At the very least, she should tell him what she was going to do, even if she had to kill him, she should tell him... right.

I wanted to blame Catherine for not telling him in advance, but Catherine told him when Voldemort was trapped: Hold on, you are an ordinary human being, and the world consciousness will not touch you.

That was already a reminder of crossing the line. Catherine herself had to let go of her body and mind to express her submission when facing the world consciousness, but at this critical moment, she still remembered to quietly remind him... Perhaps, she was also reminding the world consciousness that Tom Slytherin had been an independent ordinary human being since his birth, unlike Voldemort.

Not to mention that when she was controlled by the world consciousness, she asked Tom three times in a row who he was.

If Tom had had any resentment at that time, or shown any similarity to Voldemort, unimaginable consequences would have been waiting for him.

So...so Tom wasn't really blaming Catherine.

Rather than crying because of fear and sadness, it’s better to say that…

"I passed the test, didn't I?" Tom held Catherine's hand and looked into her eyes. "I really love you, Catherine. Do you believe it?"

As a created being, he had the same childhood as Voldemort, and still didn't understand what love was like or how to describe it specifically.

But at this moment, has he proved that he has the same soul as normal humans? In fact, he is more noble than ordinary humans. He is different from Voldemort.

"I always believed, Tom," Catherine smiled and hugged him, "You did a great job. I'm so proud of you."

He was able to put her first at such a critical moment, without any resentment or doubt, or even negative emotions. Tom's complete soul is now a proof of his love for Catherine.

Tom burst into laughter, and this time he finally had the heart to glance at Haierbo. He said with a smug expression: "I will always be your pride. You will never find a brother as good as me in the future!"

Hailbo:?

It feels like I'm being provoked, is it an illusion?
