The world does not play mosaic [Comprehensive]

Tom was like when he came to this world for the first time. He called snakes in snake language and waited for their response.

This time he didn't avoid Severus, so Severus could hear him clearly.

The "hissing" sound of the snake language is very smooth and soft to the ears, and it is only the sound between the lips and teeth, so it is difficult to hear any pitch fluctuations.

It's just that the Parseltongue has a wave of magic power, as if it is a natural magic contract for snakes.

Severus couldn't understand what Tom was saying, but the two of them didn't wait long before a red krait emerged from the grass.

Tom saw that the snake that responded to him was still the red krait, and this krait looked very familiar.

Severus didn't care, but Tom knew it was the krait that had responded to him back then.Now it responded to him again, but it made Tom feel very abnormal.

{After so many years, why haven't you grown up yet? } asked Tom to the cold snake in his hand.

The krait spat out the snake letter to identify Tom's smell, and looked at Tom with inorganic eyes: {Are you kidding me?Less than a day has passed here. }

{Less than a day...} Tom looked around, reflexively trying to find something else to prove his words, but he couldn't see anything.

Seeing Tom talking to the snake, Severus changed his expression after a few words. This is really not a good sign, so Severus asked, "What happened? What did it say?"

{This time you finally understand that you need to cooperate with your companions, not bad. } Ring Snake said gratifiedly.For it, it is the only snake here, and it is already very happy to be able to talk to Tom.It has not spoken to anyone for a long time.

Only one day passed, and Tom came back from the end of the watch forest. The ring snake thought that Tom was at odds with his companions.But I didn't expect that Tom has learned to cherish his companions, which is really a good thing.

"It said that less than a day has passed here." Tom carefully judged the truth of this statement, but snakes will not lie to Parseltongue, that is to say, the time here is the same as the time experienced by Ansers and the others. The proportions are even more terrifying.Tom seemed to have caught something, but he didn't seem to have caught anything.

Severus pondered for a moment, then took out Zhizhi: "It's true, and we've grown up too." The traces of time on them cannot be erased by a word from the krait.

"Excluding the possibility of hallucinations, this place seems to be special. Neither Dean nor Mr. Ansers mentioned this place, so why did getting lost bring us here? When we fell into Dean's small When the wooden house was not far away, it clearly fell...what is the reason..."

Severus' voice trailed off, Tom was as lost in thought as he was.

The krait stuck out its tongue, not understanding what the two humans were struggling with. It said to Tom: {You are back because you have completed the experience below.You have completed the test given to you by Goddess Artemis, which is amazing. }

Tom recovered: {What do you know?What is so great about us?Was there anyone like us before? }

{Of course, except that no one has been able to talk to me like you before.Even if those people appeared here in small groups, they would never cooperate.They always make their own, and after entering the Goddess' test, they never came back.I'm guessing they're all really dead. }The krait said slowly.

It likes the warmth of Tom's body, which makes him feel very comfortable.

But actually being entangled by a snake wasn't a good feeling, but Tom was used to it.Because he has a snake as a pet, and Nagini is really a very lively little girl, thanks to her, Tom knows how to tickle a snake.

The krait was so comfortable that its tail was raised up, and its eyes were squinted, expecting Tom to take care of more places.

Severus scoffed at the snake's stupidity.

{What do you mean by really dead?What is the test of the goddess?I thought Severus and I were nothing special, why did you choose us?How do you know that we all...} Tom throws out his own questions one by one while stroking the krait obsessively.

The ring snake replied with a little pride: {I knew it since I was born, and the glory of the goddess bathes me.I'm not like a normal snake.Goddess Artemis keeps us in captivity and gives us the best.The people who came here were all people who had died once, but because their souls were powerful and had chance, the Lord God asked Hades to give such people a chance to be born again.But Hades refused to let go of the soul in his hand, so he set a test of life and death.The main god invited the goddess to cooperate as a promise to let the goddess' lover return. As long as she can succeed once, snatch people from the god of the underworld, and let them succeed, the goddess' expectation can be realized. }

Tom squinted his eyes. The ring snakes can say so much this time, it seems that it really is because they succeeded.From the words of the ring snake, he can know that the god of the underworld does not listen to the so-called words, and there should be some ulterior relationship between Artemis and the god of the underworld, otherwise the main god would not think of using this to restrain the god of the underworld.As for the snake, it was obviously something that belonged to Artemis.

The moon goddess who was hunting used to be able to keep animals in captivity, which really refreshed his three views.But this is also normal. Originally, Artemis taught humans to hunt, which also included taming wild animals.Then it is reasonable for her to keep animals in captivity.

It's just that the god of the underworld, Artemis, the main god, and this space...the reason for existence, are all weird like a malicious game.

He hadn't thought about it before, so it turned out that this place was really created by God.

"Severus, I think we might be lucky..."

Severus waited for a long time. He couldn't understand Parseltongue, but he was actually worried about what news Tom might know.But now, Tom answered his words with a dazed expression.

"Perhaps you can tell me what it is in more detail."

"Of course, Severus, it's perfectly fine. But I'm going to keep talking to it." Tom was going to tell Severus clearly.

But before that, he needs to talk to the snake more clearly.

{She kept you in captivity and asked you to be guides for people like us?To remind us how to go on? }

{of course not.Those who can talk to creatures like us can't.I've lived here for so many years, and only you can talk to me.The other neighbors were not very nice-tempered people. }The ring snake slowly moved on Tom's arm, and Tom's warm body temperature made it very enjoyable.

{Then how should we continue to go on now?I guess you should know. }Tom is indeed a little confused.

After all, it is a test set by the god of the underworld, and it is a cheating exercise given by Artemis. If you walk out of the test of the goddess, can you be recognized by the god of the underworld?

Real death means that they really died from illness and torture at the beginning, but now they have to fight for a dangerous opportunity in order to make themselves truly alive.

{The test of life and death.If you have emerged from the test of the Goddess, you have already succeeded. }The krait didn't understand what else Tom wanted to ask.

Tom said: {Luna God's test is successful, so what about Hades?Don't we need to go through other conditions? }

{I have no idea.Boy, your question is too difficult.Why don't you ask the goddess? } The krait, who couldn't answer Tom's question, felt a little hurt. It fell from Tom's hand, and then disappeared quickly.

And this disappearance was indeed a direct disappearance, neither Severus nor Tom could see how it left.

Severus looked at Tom, waiting for his words.

And Tom took his hand worriedly and led him to the sculpture of Artemis.

"Severus, I think we might be in trouble..."

Being cared about by God is not something to be happy about.

The statue of Artemis is no different from before they left, it is still so delicate and so majestic.

But when I came here, there was still nothing.

The place that became the black hole is still a blue lake, and the vegetation along the lake looks very lush, but it still maintains a considerable distance from the edge of the lake.

Except for the statue, there is nothing more obtrusive here.

Severus and Tom could only try to touch the foot of the goddess's robe, nothing special happened.

In this way, it seems that there is only lake water and that mechanism left in this place.They tried the mechanism, but this time the lake was still water, and there was no such channel.

"Now, get in the water." That was all Severus could say.Besides water, they couldn't find anything else that was different.

Tom couldn't detect any problems with the charm, so even his doubts didn't prevent him from agreeing with Severus' idea.It's just that the two of them stood by the lake, still hesitated.

Zhizhi was always eager to jump off.

"Severus, what if we get into the water and we go back to our own time?" Tom was actually feeling uneasy all the time.

Because Severus was too far away from him, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get close to Severus again.There was no guarantee that he would be waiting for Severus alone for such a long time.

If this lake is the key to their return, then they have returned to their respective worlds, but it is too late to say goodbye, and there are still many doubts that have not been solved.

"…" Severus was thinking the same as Tom.So Severus was speechless at this time.

Tom turned his head and glanced contemptuously at the solemn idol—God has no obligation to answer them, He is always high above, so he is still staring indifferently at the two people who are said to have helped Him win the victory.

Whether there are answers to those doubts is not important anymore, what is important is his encounter with Severus and the experience together.

The only problem is the water.The forest makes people lost, but it is also hope, so they find an exit in the forest.The lake—closed—deadly still, water represents life and time, and the snake said that only one day has passed here, which means that time here is very slow, and the lake is the only water, that is, the only time.

They are people whose life and death cannot be defined, so returning to the water is their best choice.

But what would happen inside, neither he nor Severus knew.

Uncertainty makes Tom feel a sense of crisis, but they don't have much time.If the Godhead of Hades is destroyed, they will not be able to leave at all-meaning that there is a price for meeting across time and space, and their price has always been paid by the balance of the two gods.

Whether the guess was correct or not, Tom gave up thinking about it.He and Severus needed to say goodbye beforehand - in case they got into the water and they really couldn't help themselves.

"Into the water?" Severus asked again.

Tom shook his head.With Severus' puzzled eyes, he took Severus' hand.As Severus looked at him, he easily took the ring off Severus' finger.

Severus stared blankly at Tom's movements, wondering what his intentions were.

"I put it on by accident, right?" No matter how he thought about it, Tom knew that Severus would definitely not easily agree to a marriage proposal or something else, and this resurrection stone ring, which Severus could wear on his middle finger, should be A small accident made it impossible for him to take it off, and the existence of him in the future - Waldmont - made Severus himself acquiesce in the position of the ring, which should be the correct answer.

"So you want to take it back?" Severus lifted his chin, wanting to see what Tom was going to do.

Tom chuckled, of course shaking his head in denial of Severus' statement.Before Severus was about to say something to spoil the fun, Tom cupped Severus' cheeks and pressed his forehead to Severus's, and at such a close distance, they looked into each other's eyes, two pairs of There is confusion and anticipation in the black eyes, as if only each other is left in their world.

The warm breath sprayed each other's faces, the light breaths were exchanged, and the place where the skin touched became inexplicably hot.

"If we part too soon, we won't even have time to say goodbye. Severus, talk to me." Tom's voice was soft and low, and the sound of breath was right next to his ear, and the scalding itching ran down the blood vessels under the skin Crisp to the tip.

"I thought we were talking." Severus suppressed the instinct to blink, and looked at Tom without letting go, let alone tilting his head.

A faint blush stained his pale cheeks, and Tom's cheeks were also tinged with crimson.At this moment, the two young people who were nearly embracing each other seemed to sense that the last moment had arrived.

"That's different. You know that." Tom coaxed softly in Severus' ear.

Severus was not used to such sensationalism, he wanted to retreat, but Tom had one hand on his lower back, and there was no way to retreat.

"You think that's funny?" Clever as Severus was, he knew what Tom wanted to hear, but he didn't want to say it.If they separate, the space turmoil brought about by this world will probably end, which means that they will never see each other again.To meet again, Tom must wait decades.

How many decades can a person have?After he said that, Severus just felt reluctant to wait for him alone for so long.If possible, it would be better to let Tom just let it go... He didn't want to find out how Tom became Wardmont.

Tom turned his face slightly, and the tip of his nose slid across Severus' cheek, bringing a shudder.Looking into Severus's beautiful eyes, Tom sighed slightly in his heart: "Severus, I want to hear it. No matter what I have to face, I am willing. Snakes have small hearts, and they can't let me While waiting for you, there is nothing. Wouldn't that be more pitiful."

"Fool," Severus cursed.

Looking at Tom who was close at hand, Severus once again thought of his pair of entangled biological parents. If Tom could wait for him until he grew up to what he is today, it would be a great gift for anyone who believes in love. For everyone, it will be supremely romantic.Yet Severus just felt the pressure was too much.

He even thought of the quarrel he had with Tom not long ago, and when he returned to this moment, his heart was full of sourness.

"Maybe it will be good? Maybe I can see you all the time?" Tom continued to increase Severus' confidence.

Severus just wanted to say "there's a ghost", if he could see it, why was Wardmont so desperate and lonely when he first saw it?

Seeing Severus insisting on not moving, Tom didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, and finally he had to kiss Severus's mouth hard, his hand slipped from Severus' cheek, and then fell to Severus's. Before Severus could recover, the ring was put on Severus' ring finger again.

"You're who I think you are. Not the future Wardmont, but Tom Riddle, it's Edward Stuart...my name isn't everything, Severus, anything can be fake, Only with a heart." Tom lifted Severus' hand and pressed a kiss on his ring finger.

Severus could only stare blankly at all of Tom's movements. His sharp words were trapped in his throat, and his nimble reactions were hindered by his paralyzed hands and feet. He was drugged by Tom, that's why he let him You can't take your eyes off this man.

Should have warned him not to tease him as a girl, should have warned him that Slytherins never hurt anyone...but Severus couldn't say anything.

Squeak's sudden tantrum in Severus' pocket reminded the two farewell-obsessed young men that their time was running out.

——In the Mage Tower, the godheads of Ansers' subordinates trembled crazily. ——

"Tom," Severus gripped Tom's hand so tightly that it hurt Tom, but he felt a different kind of peace of mind, and the two of them walked a few steps into the lake, the coldness of the lake made them both I couldn't help trembling, "I'm sorry."

Immediately, the two were deeply engulfed by the surging lake water.

Tom endured the sharp pain in his eyes from the lake, and took one last look at Severus.He didn't want to hear Severus say "I'm sorry" at the end, even knowing it was because he loved him.

Then it sank deeply.

Just after they all stood in the water, the dead water seemed to come alive, swallowing them into the bottom of the lake.But at this moment, they couldn't even open their eyes, and something even involved them, leading them to go deeper, and something was moving away from them.

Zhizhi floated away from Severus' pocket in the waves, Severus couldn't open his eyes, he could only reach out and follow the feeling to grab it, Zhizhi also tried his best to stretch out his tentacles to touch Severus When Ferrus desperately approached Severus' finger, it immediately turned into countless foams and rushed towards Severus' body—and the one on Severus and Tom The badges also degraded and disappeared one after another...

The statue of Artemis trembled violently, the godhead in front of Anses shattered, and the lake surged into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

The next moment, the water in the lake exploded, turning into the forbidden world's first rain.

"Edward, what's wrong with you?" Annie put down the book and looked at her child worriedly.

Tom was distracted almost every day these days, or he was playing with that ugly ring, wondering what he was thinking.Facing those beautiful noble ladies, he became more polite, as if deliberately keeping a distance.

Tom smiled at Anne: "It's nothing, Mom. You have my little brother, don't you. I'm thinking of preparing some gifts for him."

"It's not born yet, how do you know it's my younger brother?" Annie's attention was distracted by Tom.

Tom stared at Annie's stomach for a while, and smiled happily: "I just know. Don't talk about this, Mom, where are we going next time?"

"Oh...tomorrow is Grand Duke Andrew's banquet..."

Tom smiled with his mother, but there seemed to be a big hole in his heart, and his thoughts couldn't reach the edge.

He seemed to have come back from somewhere else, and who else was with him, something to do with this ring...but he couldn't remember who it was.

It's just that he promised who would wait for him... Before that, before that, he should do what he should do.

————————

————————

Hogwarts Library, the final exam for wizards is coming soon.The seventh-grade students are spending their time in the library every day. Even if they can't read any books, they can't get their legs out of the library.

Antonin accompanied Severus to study in the library for a long time, and Regulus came over occasionally. He was too busy in the sixth grade to mix with his seniors every day.So now there were only Severus and Antonin.

And when there were only two of them, Antonin was more able to notice Severus's absent-mindedness,

Antonin waved his hand in front of Severus' eyes, but Severus didn't return to his senses: "Severus, you don't seem to be in a good mood recently."

Severus, who heard the voice, pulled his thoughts back: "Your final exam is ready? Now you know how to mind my business..."

"I remember you still wear your ring on your middle finger?" Severus put his hand on the desk when he spoke just now, and Antonin immediately noticed the difference.

"Ah?" Severus saw his hand, which was steady and stable, suddenly trembled.

"You..." Antonin leaned back in surprise, "You cried... Severus..."

Two lines of tears rolled down Severus' eyes.He had never paid attention to his hands. If Antonin hadn't mentioned the ring, he wouldn't even have known he was wearing the ring.

Looking at the ring, Severus' tears kept rolling down his face.

Weep quietly.

Severus didn't even change his dazed expression, but the huge emptiness seemed to Antonin to be a black hole that could easily swallow people up at any time.

"pat"

"pat"

Tears wet the open pages.

Antonin was in so much pain that he couldn't say anything.What a strong man Severus was, and now he was crying.

——If he found out who made Severus so sad, he would have to find out and beat him to death!

Just when Severus and Antonin were silent and Severus was in a daze, the students at the door seemed to be startled by something, and they all ran out.

Severus stared at the teardrop marks on the blank notebook, and the memory that he felt was missing all the time, gradually recovered, and the uncomfortable emotion had been rampaging in his heart.

——When he came back, he forgot something, and now he remembered it again.

Antonin scratched his head anxiously, but just as he was about to make more indecent moves, a person walked in at the door of the library, making him petrified immediately.

The person who came in at the door had black hair like jade, red eyes like blood, handsome and flawless, walked in like a monarch patrolling his own territory, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

The library was as quiet as suffocating.

Antonin sat down neatly, staring at his textbook without turning his eyes.

Feeling the strange atmosphere, Severus raised his head and met the man's eyes.

The man smiled at him, and Severus' last tear dripped onto the page, filling the huge hole with the man in an instant.

Pulling the corners of his lips stiffly, Severus showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

--I am back.

The author has something to say: the second volume is over

Probably the text is over

The third volume is dog food, it can be regarded as a side story

Make it as long as possible.
