mystery lover

Now that he has known the greatest harm of the Horcrux, Oster can no longer research it alone.Horcruxes are dangerous, especially since Dumbledore also knows Tom made Horcruxes.

If the other party destroys Tom's Horcrux...

As long as he thinks of this possibility, it will be difficult for Oster to maintain his usual calmness.

I must tell him, the youth told himself.

But what method to use to reveal this information to Voldemort, Oster has yet to make a decision.He was looking for a way to let Voldemort know the final outcome of splitting his soul, a way to persuade the other party to cooperate with him to find a way to make up for it.And this is obviously very difficult.Maybe Voldemort would have killed him outright when he found out his biggest secret was known.

The young man was taken aback by his own assumptions.

He supported the wall with his hands in some pain, a trace of confusion appeared in his blue eyes.

Will Voldemort hurt me?

Oster found that he had no judgment on this issue, even though there was such a unique relationship between them.

Lord Voldemort

Oster read the name softly.

Then the string of letters was recombined in his mind.

Lord Voldemort...

Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Tom...

tom...

If it was Tom, he would definitely listen to himself.

That boy must know... I will never hurt him.

……

I will never hurt you.

Tom.

Voldemort seemed to be in a good mood today, and there would be a Death Eater banquet at night, but the venue would be in Malfoy's manor.

This was what Lucius told Oster, but Oster was not going to attend the banquet.It's not that he didn't realize Voldemort's purpose, the other party didn't want him to have too many intersections with Death Eaters, no matter what the reason was, Oster would not disobey Voldemort.

Moreover, Oster, who has been troubled by the problem of Horcruxes, is not in the mood to enjoy himself.

But the young man concealed it well, before he thought of a perfect solution, Oster's attitude towards Voldemort was almost flattering.

From the passive acceptance at the beginning to the obvious increase in the number of throws and hugs now, Osted can only simply make himself closer to the other party, anyway - Voldemort's mood is not bad every time he does this, occasionally He will be extra gentle, which is much better than the rough treatment at the beginning.

And...Osted blushed a little thinking, he actually liked being with Voldemort very much...

Doing those things with him...anything.

He still wanted this person so strongly.

want to be with him.

Then the other party actually made a request to go with him after finding out that he did not intend to attend the banquet.

Oster was obviously flattered, and more joy followed. The young man thought optimistically that as long as he was a little closer and closer, his chances of successfully persuading the other party might be higher.

And Oster also found out that at some point, Voldemort was indeed extraordinarily lenient towards him.Just like when he heard the other party's request just now, Oster was not rejected when he stepped forward to hug the other party's neck and gently kissed him.

And this was something he couldn't even imagine a few months ago.

Voldemort was obviously pampering himself. Although the communication between them was still pitiful, Oster felt that things were moving in a good direction, so it was good.

Then at the evening party, Oster met Abraxas, whom he had not seen for a long time. The other party affirmed the easing of the relationship between himself and the Dark Lord, but this made Oster silently embarrassed up.

In fact, this relaxation is mixed with the result of his own little bit of exploration.And Osted really doesn't want others to know his ways of probing...

However, the young man was still looking forward to what kind of position he and Voldemort would return to in the end.

He hoped that everything would be fine.

Not long after the banquet officially started, Oster slowly returned to Voldemort. Such a banquet always had a lot of entertainment, but the people around Voldemort subconsciously stopped communicating when they saw this young man coming.

"Lord, do you want to dance?"

Oster's eyes were smiling, and he looked at the man in front of him, who was obviously taken aback for a moment.Oster doesn't care about other people, he thinks they've already arrived, so let's relax.At most...he would be punished by his Lord for going out of line, anyway...as long as it wasn't for Avada, he wouldn't be able to die.What's more, Voldemort is in a particularly good mood today.

The young man stuck out his tongue secretly in his heart. He remembered that when he and Tom were studying at Hogwarts, the two of them would secretly practice in the dormitory because of the prom. At that time, Tom seemed to always make mistakes, which made O Sid had to do a female step to lead the other.

After Oster finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed strangely.

Oster watched Voldemort's expression, as long as the other party felt a little disgusted, then he... just slip away.But Voldemort didn't, which made Osted very happy, and the other party seemed to be in a really good mood today, so Osted leaned forward, the young man stretched out his hand and pulled the other's pale palm to his waist, and His own hands were also on Voldemort's shoulders.

After doing all this, the young man looked happily into those wine red eyes.

"Lord, don't you want me?"

Oster said in a naughty whisper, a voice that only two people could hear.

Then, unsurprisingly, Oster saw the expression on Voldemort's face change.Oster showed a pleasant smile, and he became used to seeing more expressions on the other person's face occasionally.

It was vivid, and...this time it seemed to be mixed with a little...

Don't think about it anymore, it would be bad to be found out.

So when the Death Eaters who had been around their master saw their master being dragged into the dance floor by the legendary... Kasdeira, there was almost a unified expression on the faces of everyone, that kind of unbelievable mood. , Is the person following Castell really their master who has completely ruled the wizarding world?

Only Abraxas, who had been standing to one side, had a slight smile on his calm face when he saw the two on the dance floor, as if everything had returned to the time at Hogwarts.

Of course, after returning to Voldemort's manor, what awaited Oster would be an extreme punishment.

As Oster's understanding of the Horcrux deepened, his research... also fell into a bottleneck.

Oster even tried to link alchemy with soul research, but everything only existed in theory, without experimenters, of course he didn't dare to conduct experiments on Voldemort directly, and he still hasn't told the other party... …

Voldemort was very busy, he should tell the other party after he had more certainty and conclusions.

Oster knew that the Dark Lord's power had covered the entire wizarding world, except for the few members of the Order of the Phoenix who were still fighting, even the Ministry of Magic now completely belonged to the Dark Lord's power.

Barty Crouch Sr. was ousted from his post, after the Minister for Magic also surrendered to Voldemort.

And although many of the prestigious wizards of the older generation supported Dumbledore, it was clear that most of them didn't want to be involved in the war.Even so, Dumbledore was now Headmaster of Hogwarts, Oster didn't know what Voldemort would do, but he didn't want to distract him at this moment.

Maybe I should try to find the Horcruxes.

In this way, I should be able to better understand this... black magic.

In fact, Oster was a little anxious. He always felt that as that person became more powerful, the Horcrux's situation would become more dangerous.

He even started to think... Maybe he could experiment on himself.

This will undoubtedly be the safest method.

**

"Hello."

Oster was a little nervous and looked at the figure in front of him.

When the white shadow appeared from the altar glass-like container, Osted took a step back almost at a loss.Then he fell on this piece of gravel-covered island in the middle of the lake.

The blurry figure slowly turned into an adult man, and he walked up to the young man who had fallen to the ground. The man's eyes were a little hesitant, but he did look at Oster.

This made Oster even more nervous.

He just came to the cave that Tom had led him to with the mentality of giving it a try, and then he found that the other party had really hidden his Horcrux here... and it was at Oster that the Horcrux was hidden because of Voldemort. When it was stored in a place already known by a second person and lost in thought, the Horcrux that was originally peacefully wandering in the container suddenly changed, and then there was the current scene.

……

The other party was obviously just a shadow, but Oster gradually choked up.

The man was wearing a simple black robe, his hair was a little longer than when he was in school, and his cheeks were thinner, but all these suited him well, and he looked even more handsome than before.

Then, at last, the figure spoke.

"Nico?"

The moment his voice sounded, a tear fell from the corner of Oster's eyes uncontrollably.Then more and more drops of water condensed in the young man's eyes.

Oster hated his own tears, he became weaker and weaker, he didn't want this, Tom would definitely not like to see himself like this.But he couldn't control it, he couldn't control his urge to cry after seeing this man.

However, the man on the opposite side just looked at the young man who was sitting down quietly, and then he slowly squatted down, and his transparent fingers stroked the young man's cheek slowly and gently. trembling at his actions.

"You are crying, why?"

The figure continued to ask, and his eyes turned to the clenched fist of the young man. There were some blood stains on it, which made his pretty eyebrows subconsciously frowned.

"Let go of it, Nico."

The shadow said, and then watched as Nico gradually let go of the palm holding the stone.He felt a bit distressed, but he couldn't touch the young man in front of him, he could only watch him quietly.

Under such gazes, Oster gradually buried his head. He was used to Voldemort, and it was difficult for him to remain calm under the caring eyes of the other party.

It would make him think of Tom.

Sensing that Niko didn't want to get up, the man maintained a half-kneeling posture to accompany him.He is just a shadow, but his eyes are very gentle.

After a long time, when Oster mustered up the courage to raise his head, he met that kind of gaze.

The gentle gaze made the young man return to the afternoon when he was still at Hogwarts in a trance. The boy sitting beside him watched him wake up from sleep with such patient eyes.

"Who are you……"

"Lord Voldemort."

Oster was shocked by this name, and when he lowered his head subconsciously, the soft voice of the other party sounded again.

"Like my new name, Nico?"

Osted stared blankly at the other person, and in those black eyes, Osted saw... the person he was familiar with.

He was Voldemort, and he was Tom.

After a brief silence, the young man finally replied, "I like it, as long as it's you."

Then Oster saw a smile on the other's face, a real smile.

The author has something to say:

Has no one discovered that the main soul is now a snake face? QAQ

My favorite, my favorite, my most loving snake face~=3=!

☆、Tom's anger

Oster never imagined that Horcruxes could be conscious.

But when the man in front of him told him that he had made three horcruxes before that, Oster's brain was almost blank at that moment.

Then, the young man who had just stood up maintained a stiff posture and sat back on the ground.

Looking at the young man in deep thought, the soul who came out of the Slytherin locket also realized something was wrong.In fact, Nicole shouldn't be here.

Obviously there is no problem with the main soul, the soul in the locket can sense the continuous power of the main soul.If the main soul is safe, then why did Niko come to inquire about the Horcrux now?

Nico found himself, instead of asking the main soul...

In the cave, the white shadow could barely show any expression.

Oster leaves with Slytherin's locket.

Of course it wasn't his original intention, but... this Voldemort let himself take him.

Oster really couldn't say no to the black-haired man in front of him, and the other party also emphasized that after he cut off the connection at the beginning, the main soul could not sense the change of the Horcrux.Oster felt a little guilty about this... I don't know why, but he always felt a little sorry for Voldemort...

This feeling is as if I secretly did something bad and then kept it from the other party.

At this time, the soul in the locket is the same as at the beginning, and he maintains the appearance of a shadow and follows the young man.He was the fourth piece of Voldemort's split soul when he was 29 years old, and at that time, Nicol had been missing for 14 years.

When did Nico come back?The shadow stared at the young man walking ahead.

Looking at Nico's back, the other party seemed to be walking very inattentively, as if he was in a daze again.This made him want to laugh a little.And with his power at the time, no matter when Niko came back after that, he should have imprisoned this person by his side and would never let him disappear again.

"What's the matter?" Shadow stared at the stopped young man, and he couldn't help pursing his lips when the other party looked at him.It seems that Nico is really worried about the main soul.

But... Is the future me really so scary?

If it's about Nico... there shouldn't be any changes.

"He... really won't find out?" Oster asked cautiously. Seeing that he was going back to Voldemort's manor, the young man became more and more guilty.

The black-haired man smiled, and Oster was almost stunned by his smile.

"No one can see me except you, including the main soul."

"That's good……"

After repeated confirmations, Oster was finally ready to apparate.

And the man beside him just said something softly.

"Don't be afraid of me, Nicole."

Oster nodded, not paying attention to who the other party was referring to by me.

Therefore, when Oster walked into the hall of the manor, after seeing Voldemort standing in the center of the hall, the young man's heart still trembled violently.

I lowered my head with some guilt, why is Lord in the hall today... Fortunately, he has already put the locket in the storage bag, so it's really no problem... Lord really can't see the other person behind me A Voldemort...

So tangled, so guilty.

And behind Osted, when the black-haired man saw the snake-faced man in the middle of the hall in surprise, he didn't remember who this man was for a moment, until Nico's behavior became more and more strange, and the locket Only then did his soul react violently.

that's me--?

……

Is this a sequela of too much research into black magic?

Shadow thought silently.

Then the next moment—something that surprised him even more happened.

"Lord..." Oster resolutely walked up to Voldemort, who was obviously waiting for him.But Voldemort didn't speak, and Oster was a little confused about what the other party was thinking, especially after he had just done a terrible thing.

In the end, Osted raised his head with a numb scalp. Voldemort was really tall, and Osted hated his family's genetic height a little.

"Lord, I miss you so much..." Oster said, a little bit of luster gradually appeared in his eyes.This trick was also researched by him not long ago...

Voldemort looked at the young man leaning in his arms, the expression on his face didn't seem to change, but his tone was lower than usual, "Have you been out for a long time?"

"Well..." Oster stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the other party's robe, and said persistently, "Even if it's only half a day, I miss you very much."

Voldemort didn't speak, and Oster only regarded the other party as habitually indifferent.Who knows that Voldemort has been getting more and more speechless by Nico's initiative recently.

But apparently the Dark Lord is enjoying it too.

But Mr. Shadow, who has witnessed all this, is not so good.

The expression on the black-haired man's face at this moment is very strange. It's really strange to see Niko making out with him.

And... was Niko trying to seduce him?

Mr. Shadow thinks he might need to go back to the locket and fix it.

But... Although the main soul looks a bit bad... the relationship between Nico and the main soul... seems to be pretty good.

The Horcrux was also relieved.

At night, after the man on the body finished another round of sprinting, Osted leaned into the other's arm, his face was pressed against Voldemort's marble-like chest, and Osted carefully touched the gray skin He drew a picture, but was caught by the other party.

There is still a red/// tide on the young man's face that hasn't faded, but looking at the palm covering his hand, it makes him feel very relieved.

If only it could go on like this.

In the laboratory, the black-haired man quietly watched the young man doing the experiment on the other side.

After the initial worries, Nicole showed a great welcome to his arrival, probably because of his almost answering attitude towards Nicona. Obviously, Nicole cares about him. It should be said that Nicole cares about him. Seeing everything after he disappeared.

There was a time when they talked about everything, Nicole regarded himself as Tom Riddle, and he also agreed to the other party's address for him-Tom.

But the dark-haired man is clearly not the Tom Riddle of the notebook.

In a way, he was already the closest piece of soul to the current Voldemort.

When Voldemort split this piece of soul, it was the beginning of his rule over the British wizarding world.

but--

When the black-haired man noticed Nicona's exposed arm——

"what is this."

"what?"

Oster stopped what he was doing because Tom's voice was deep.

When he turned to face the black-haired man, Oster noticed that his eyes were very cold. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the first time he saw Voldemort.

Oster's throat twitched.

"What's the matter... Tom."

Then following the other party's line of sight, Oster looked at his right hand.As if thinking of something, the young man subconsciously hid his arms behind his back.

However, the other party did not give up.

"Roll up your sleeves."

"Tom..."

Osted tried to block something, but in the next moment, he was brought to the opponent by a force, and then his right hand was lifted up under that force, just like Osted raised When he picked up the container in his hand, the simple cuffs slid down the young man's smooth arm.

Seeing that the other party had seen it, Oster gave up struggling, but he also realized that the force just now came from Tom.

This surprised Osted, he didn't know that the Horcrux had power, because Tom had always been a shadow.But soon, Oster couldn't continue thinking about this issue.

Because Tom's expression was really terrifying, and there was almost a red light in those fuzzy black eyes.

"Tom..."

"what is this."

With the same question, Oster hung his head in embarrassment under the other party's persistence.

And in the young man's voice, there was almost a hint of uncertainty, "The Dark Mark...?"

"I know."

Oster raised his head because of the other party's answer, his expression was a little surprised, he originally thought that Voldemort hadn't created this mark at that time.

However, after meeting the opponent's eyes, Oster was a little timid again.

Tom seemed even angrier.

"He gave it to you?" The black-haired man narrated calmly.

"Well..." Oster nodded, his eyes dodged a little, "It's nothing..."

But don't wait for their conversation to continue.

Oster was horrified to find that the door of the laboratory had been opened.

Between the lightning and the flint, Oster seemed to feel a cold touch on his forehead, and then he met the soul-stirring black eyes, and the anger just now was gone in the other's eyes , he stared at himself, as if he was staring at all the warmth.

A voice rang in Oster's ear.

"You never have to be afraid of me, Nico."

Then the next moment.

Oster felt two magical forces colliding in the room.

When the black-haired man disappeared, Oster yelled almost uncontrollably, "Tom—"

Then he met those blood red eyes.

The burning anger in the opponent's eyes caused the Dark Mark on Osted's arm to burn almost instantly.

"Slytherin's locket is coming."

After Voldemort's spell fell, the locket originally hidden in Oster's storage bag flew back to Voldemort's hand in an instant.

Osted looked at the locket held in Voldemort's hand, the young man's expression was distorted, his arm was in pain like being burned by flames, but Osd could only kneel down on the ground in pain, looking at The man walked towards him slowly.

tom...

Disappeared.

As the message flashed through his brain, Osde couldn't even tell whether the tears in the corners of his eyes were caused by the pain in his body or the hollowness in his chest.
