struggle

Bella's wait didn't last long. When Tom heard Lucius' message, he said that he was very happy to see his loyal subordinates, because they were willing to enter Azkaban, but unwilling to give up their loyalty to him. Appreciate the persistence.When Lucius heard Tom's words, his face paled for a moment, but Tom changed the subject immediately, expressing that he was looking forward to having more loyal followers like this in the future, and gave him a meaningful look after speaking.

Three days later, Tom showed up at Malfoy Manor on time.After three days of rest, Bella regained some of her former radiance. Against the backdrop of her long black dress, she still vaguely had the nobility and arrogance she had when she was the young lady of the Black family.However, the moment she saw Tom, a look of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, she subconsciously wanted to kneel down and kiss his robe, but Tom supported her body that was about to kneel down: "Bella, you are worthy of me! Praise, sit down."

Bella nodded excitedly, half sat on the chair next to her, and looked at him with fanatical eyes.And Tom glanced at Rudolphs who was standing aside: "Rudolphs, I am very satisfied with the loyalty shown by your Lestrange family to me over these years, please sit down too." .”

Rudolphs also half sat on the chair next to Bella with a look of trepidation.And Tom leaned back in his chair leisurely, and glanced at the couple: "During the past ten years, in order to uphold our belief, you were willing to be imprisoned in Azkaban, endured those Painful torture. But I assure you that everything you have endured will not be in vain, and I will give you the highest honor to appreciate your loyal spirit. I will let the world see that the glory of pure blood cannot be tarnished , the most noble, will always be the purest blood."

"Master, thank you for your trust. We will definitely follow you forever, for the dignity of pure blood, and for our cause." Bella said eagerly, with reverence in her eyes, and even a little Envy.When they first met, she found that the face of the master had become younger, as if he had regained the handsome appearance of a god, but the demeanor of the superior was even more oppressive, compared to the 13 years ago The last time we met, his strength seemed even more unfathomable.Therefore, she believed that this time they would not repeat the mistakes of the past, and they would be able to purify the wizarding world.

Seeing that Rudolphs hadn't spoken all the time, but just nodded in agreement with Bella's words, Tom's eyes flashed a look of understanding, and his voice towards Bella became softer, and his handsome face seemed to be able to seduce The smile of the heart: "So, dear Bella, please return to me the things I deposited with you all those years ago, and let me see if you can complete every task I entrusted to you as you said. one thing."

"Okay, master, I'll go get it and give it to you right away." Bella got up hurriedly, eager to prove to Tom that she was as loyal as ever and worthy of entrusting important tasks.

"Don't worry, Bella." Tom raised his hand slightly, stopped Bella's movement, and said softly in her puzzled eyes: "Let Lucius handle this matter, you just give him the key, We'll be right here waiting for him."

"Master..." Bella's eyes were a little bit annoyed, but she didn't dare to question directly because of Tom's usual majesty.

"Bella, you deserve more important tasks than unnecessary danger." Tom lazily pulled a comforting smile at her, "Under the current situation, it is not suitable for you to go out and run around, and I am not Don't want you to take that risk. Lucius can do the same, can't he?"

"Yes, master, I obey your orders." Bella bowed her head respectfully, hiding the joy in her eyes.And Tom just hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.

After getting the key handed over by Bella, Lucius successfully retrieved the Hufflepuff gold cup hidden in the vault of the Lestrange family in Gringotts and handed it to Tom.Compared with the last time, the fusion of soul pieces this time is much faster and easier.When Tom was playing with the gold cup that was only a pure Hufflepuff relic in his hand, he found with satisfaction that only the main soul and the big snake named Nagini who accompanied the main soul were left, and the The small soul piece on the head of the savior Harry Potter has not been recovered.

As for the small piece that was absorbed by Ginny, he didn't mind much, because he could have the corresponding soul complement magic to make up for the lack of only a small piece of soul piece, but he didn't care about the connection with Ginny. , he felt that meaning would be more important than this small fragment of the soul, because he thought he needed to use this to prove and understand something.

As his soul gradually completed, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to himself as a person, rather than the weak sense of existence as a thin piece of soul, but then, he found that he had a feeling for Ginny. Feelings are getting more and more complicated.From the simple desire to take him under his command at the beginning, to the feeling that he must win mixed with the sense of conquest, to the inexplicable unwillingness when he sees her indifferent to him and even resisting and struggling, that is something he has never had before.After all, he is used to controlling everything, including perfectly controlling all his emotions, perfectly interpreting the expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face, but it will not affect his true emotions in the slightest.Therefore, he thought he needed to figure out how he felt about Ginny, and this soul connection was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Unexpectedly, he thought of the theory that his old opponent Dumbledore had always preached, could it be the so-called love?He frowned and thought of that word contemptuously, and was immediately rejected by himself.It was a ridiculous feeling, implying irrationality, indignity, and all the emotions he didn't want to accept.To him, it was just a bottle of love potion that was too sad, and a poor final result.Therefore, he will conquer and occupy what he wants, including the wizarding world, including Ginny, but he will never allow himself to fall into so-called love.

When he was thinking about how to make use of the current situation and the specific plan for the next step, he suddenly felt a cold and sticky feeling on his arm, and it was Harbo who was winding up along his hanging arm: " Tom, what are you thinking, why is this expression so strange?"

"Strange? Why is it so strange?" Tom looked at his pet with a little doting.

"It's like... like when little Salazar first met Anastasia, he had this expression every day." Haierbo thought for a long time, and replied with a letter.

"Anastasia?" Tom smiled indifferently when he heard an unfamiliar name, and did not ask further.After all, no matter how long Hai Erbo lived, he was still just a basilisk. He was locked in a secret room most of the time, and his intelligence was limited. Therefore, he didn't take Hai Erbo's words very seriously. The people who occasionally popped up to him should belong to people from thousands of years ago The name is not interesting either.However, he didn't know that Anastasia was once the most important woman in Slytherin's life. After a bitter love, she was the lover who died at Slytherin's own hands because of disagreement with each other. All his loves that he ended with his own hands.But in the end, this name that once represented the most special existence in Slytherin's heart was still lost in the dust of the long river of history.

Haierbo climbed onto Tom's lap, curled up in a circle and lay down, while Tom stroked its cold scales: "Halbo, when you looked around recently, did you find any similar aura, such as my The existence of the soul that is close to you, or the presence of the basilisk that is close to you?" Since his materialization, he has occupied Riddle's ancestral house as a foothold, and while he is constantly contacting and gathering the forces of Death Eaters, he also lets Haierbo constantly searched the surroundings for the existence of the main soul.After all, he believed that the main soul, who had nowhere to go, would most likely return to the vicinity of the Riddle Mansion.

"I didn't find it. There are Muggles nearby, and there is no magic breath at all." Haierbo hissed and complained, "Besides, you don't allow me to eat those Muggles, it's too boring."

Tom showed a thoughtful expression: "Helbo, it's not suitable for us to attack the snakes at the moment, so we don't let you attack Muggles. Go find the silver basilisk named Nagini I mentioned. Come out, I believe it will be a more delicious existence." Tom understands that Haierbo can't fully understand his plan, so he can only comfort him with words that he understands, so that he can put away his attacking ability and disguise himself as an ordinary snake To find out the news.After all, if a basilisk attacked a Muggle here, not only would Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix immediately notice his location, but even the main soul might discover his existence and choose to stay away from Little Hangleton immediately.

However, what Tom didn't expect was that under Ginny's intervention, the trail of the main soul had already deviated far away from Little Hangleton.With Harry's blood, Peter, who was released privately, went all the way to the Albanian forest under the hint of the confusion spell, and successfully found the weak main soul possessed by Nagini in the desolate forest.Only this time, they did not meet Bertha Jorkins, the female official of the Ministry of Magic as in the original book, nor did they return to Little Hangleton, where Voldemort's father was buried, but Peter followed Ginny's instructions. The interference of the spell brought the main soul to the orphanage where he was a child, and dug out the bones of his mother Merope Gaunt buried in the public cemetery.

The bone of the mother, the flesh of the servant, and the blood of the enemy are mixed into a mysterious and ancient potion in the crucible, reshaping the entity of the main soul.When the flame under the crucible was finally extinguished, and a stream of white steam rose from it, the tall silhouette of the main soul slowly emerged from the white vapor, condensing into an ugly body.It was paler than a skeleton, with two big red eyes, a nose as flat as a snake's, and two thin slits in its nostrils...

Putting on a black robe, he lightly took Peter's wand from Peter's hand while he was trembling, then looked at Peter's pleading eyes with a mocking expression, and pressed his slender and pale fingers The Dark Mark on Peter's left arm.Amidst Peter's screams, he slowly broke into a cheerful smile, his high-pitched and cold voice possessed his unique ruthlessness: "I will let the wizarding world know that Voldemort has been resurrected."

At the same time, all the Death Eaters covered their left arms in panic, enduring the sudden piercing pain.Lucius and other nobles who knew about Tom's return almost collapsed in their manor, bewildered by this strange call.Tom, who was in the mansion of Little Hangleton, suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, clenched his fists instantly, and uttered a word with difficulty from clenched teeth: "The main soul!"

As for Hogwarts, Ginny immediately sensed an inexplicable fluctuation from the soul.After being puzzled and absent-minded for a moment, she immediately understood what it meant, and she curled her lips in satisfaction, knowing that Peter must have completed the task and successfully resurrected the main soul.Harry, who was unprepared and even more ignorant, suddenly yelled, covered his forehead and fell down in the Potions class.
