[HP Fudai] Knot of Life and Death

Tom Riddle felt that he had fallen into a pipe, which was endlessly steep, wet and filthy. He slid down in the disgusting breath for an unknown amount of time, and finally felt himself being dropped heavily to the ground.The hard stone floor nearly shattered his bones, and Riddle struggled to his feet, fumbling for his wand to light up the surroundings, and Mofingund was nowhere to be seen.

Riddle restrained his breathing, and suddenly there was the sound of a branch breaking under his feet. He lowered his head and saw piles of rat bones. Unlike the rats running around in the basement, this rat's jaws were covered with spikes, and its teeth Huge and much bigger than other mice.Riddle hadn't seen anything like it in his Fantastic Creatures class.

Before he had time to think, he gripped his wand and continued walking along the pipe.

One corner after another, as if there was no end, occasionally a sticky liquid would fall on Riddle's shoulder, and he dodged sideways. The liquid seemed to be able to corrode the human body. He saw a half-dead mouse corpse in the corner, The part submerged in this liquid has all rotted away, and the remaining half is still alive and hideous.

"Don't be afraid," Riddle whispered, the voice dissipated in the echoing pipe.

If I want to take Dai back from here later, I should blindfold Dai, no girl can stand this.

Riddle thought of Moffingunt's disgusting face, trying to suppress his fear with anger, and he found his palms were even sweating.

Before a corner, he heard Mofingant's strange cry, and Riddle turned around along the strange call, but only saw a stone wall with two giant snakes entwined and carved on it, with green jewel eyes With a strange light.

Riddle closed his eyes.

"Kill them," said the voice.

"The basilisk is here too." Riddle opened his eyes.

"Kill them." The low voice suddenly became incomparably loud and high-pitched, as if it was going to penetrate Riddle's head.

A sharp pain clamped Riddle's head, as if something was about to stick into his brain.

Riddle shook his head fiercely, "Open the door!" The boy tried his best to hold back the severe pain, and said in a low and hoarse voice. At that time, he suddenly had an illusion, as if the voice did not come from his throat. It came out, but from the mouth of some demon living in his brain. Immediately afterwards, the coiled snakes all moved and the lock was unlocked. The huge stone wall suddenly opened, and the stone wall that was slowly separating In the middle of the night, Riddle saw the white dress standing alone at the end of the stone room from a distance.

Huge serpent-wreathed stone pillars soared to the dome in the darkness, and a wide passageway was built in the water, flanked by vipers with wide-opened jaws.

The girl stood under the majestic stone sculpture of a wizard, like a small flower under a century-old giant tree.

"Day!" Riddle called and ran forward. The girl named Dai just stood there, staring at him without saying a word or moving.

Riddle didn't care so much, the short distance was run by the young man like a doomsday run, he just wanted to put the girl by his side immediately, even if they died together, so he ran forward with all his might He said, and Dai also walked towards him slowly.

"Kill them." The voice was howling in Riddle's head more and more loudly.

Dai walked towards him silently.

The girl seemed to open her lips to say something, but the voice was too low.

The boy walked over and hugged her. At that moment, his figure suddenly stopped, and then, the bone-piercing pain almost tore him apart!In an instant, he seemed to be pierced by an invisible spear!

The invisible gun nailed him and Daiyu together, Riddle raised his head, let out a sharp howl that did not belong to humans, he saw the corner of the Slytherin colossus in his painful eyes, the bearded Above his majestic jaw were downcast eyes that seemed to mock him.

At the same time, he finally heard what the girl was whispering, it was a sharp and hoarse voice that did not belong to Dai, she was saying,

"Kill it, Tom Riddle."

As if the internal organs were about to be torn apart, pain ran through his body. At the same time, everything here seemed to be silent. Riddle heard the sound of his wand rolling to the ground, and the sound of his wand in front of him. The gentle girl's heartbeat, his breath, his breath still lingering in the throat,

Then the pain reached the brain again, the indescribable feeling of a giant hammer stirring in that skull made him unable to maintain his consciousness anymore.

The girl opened her eyes wide, and her ice-blue pupils looked at him out of focus, as if she didn't know him, or as if she was a lover from a past life who was looking at him through the veil. tight.

"Ahhh..." Riddle screamed in despair under the severe pain. He wanted to push the people around him away, but he couldn't feel his hands or his throat. He could still Listen, he heard Dai go on and on

"Kill Tom Riddle...Kill...Tom Riddle...Tom Riddle...Kill Tom Riddle!"

He heard the sound of water again, and then he heard Moffin Gunter's hysterical laugh not far away. Tom Riddle tried hard to open his eyes, Daiyu hugged him, and his plain face was covered with tears. Blood—that was splashed from Riddle's mouth, his whole body seemed to be being cut open by countless knives in an instant, the blood kept flowing out and splashing, and Daiyu hugged him tightly, like a stone sculpture General, stared at him blankly, as if he didn't know what happened, and continued to say, "Kill it, Tom Riddle."

But he saw the intense sadness in the girl's eyes, which made him feel so familiar yet strange, she stared at him with those sad blue bright eyes, tears kept falling flowing.

At the last second when his vision was flooded with blood, Riddle heard a voice shout: "Merope! Well done, my Merope!"

Merope?That's not Merope, that's my Dai, my treasure, that's my Dai.

"Merope! Kill him, only you can kill him!"

Merope.

I've heard the name before.

That's mine - Mom.

Bang!

The darkness suddenly submerged Riddle, the boy fell on his back, his head hit the ground heavily, and almost fell into the pool, blood flowed out from his numerous wounds, dyed his robe deep black, and made the embrace Daiyu's clothes were stained blood red.

……

"No! Don't kill him!"

Who did you kill?who is talking.

It was a woman with dark hair, a woman holding an umbrella, and she was crying and running forward, in a dark alley.

The umbrella soon lost its skeleton and was thrown aside. In the pouring rain, her clothes and hair were soaked.

The woman's feet stepped on the water, as if being chased by someone, she ran with all her strength, turned one corner after another, the water dripped down her body continuously, the huge belly restricted her Speed, she can't run fast at all, she is a pregnant woman.

But she didn't seem to care about her pregnancy, she just ran in the heavy rain in a panic, and no one seemed to be able to hear her wailing in the sound of the rain.

Then the walls began to grow from all sides of her "No, Gunter, no...don't kill him" the woman begged to the air, and kept backing away, but she had no way to retreat, no way to run .

Who are you and why are you running.

why.

The woman's thin back was trembling constantly, she turned her head and glanced here.Tears rolled down from her red eyes, mingled with the rain, and she was soaked.

She looks familiar.

Riddle wanted to say something to her, but it was like a nightmare, he couldn't feel where he was, but that crying woman, she was asking for help, Riddle felt that he had seen her somewhere.

Another sound suddenly exploded in the ear, it was a high-pitched and shrill instrumental sound, and there were other voices echoing it.

Countless people in oriental clothes walked past him holding white flags and carrying the coffin, as if the space moved in an instant, there were no wet women in front of Riddle's eyes, only a large group of silent Chinese, they They were all dressed in black and white robes, with sad faces—carrying a coffin!

Those fake horses and dummies made of colored paper were also carried and walked together with the coffin, passing through the street mightily.Countless paper money was sprinkled in the air, and then the women wept softly, and the cries were also wrapped in the curtains. Where were they going to be sent?

Riddle lowered his head, wanted to pick up that one, and see what was written on it—but suddenly heard the whispers of two middle-aged women beside the sedan chair. For some reason, he could understand those chirping birds. .

A woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Miss Lin, now that her father and mother are dead, the Lin family's property may not be able to be kept." die"

"Little disaster star."

Then the two of them silently looked at each other with a smile on their teasing expressions.

Riddle was startled, but felt as if his heart was clenched by both hands, because the wind suddenly blew up the curtain of the small sedan chair, and the white flag was raised, and at that moment he saw a familiar face.

It was small, little Daiyu, Daiyu with tears all over her face.

It's not the deserted look she had when she grew up, but also the beautiful, heartbreaking face that weeps silently on weekdays.That was the first time Riddle saw Daiyu like this, he had never imagined that this expression would appear on that lady-like girl—she was biting her hand, with a disorganized and aesthetic expression Weeping ferociously.

In the layers of curtains, in the funeral procession, ten-year-old Daiyu was seeing off her last relative. She was crying so purely, it was a completely silent wail.

The crying did not look like a puppet bound by etiquette, but like a child.

"Day!" Riddle roared heart-piercingly, but his voice didn't seem to exist in this country, and the small sedan chair in the white team was moving forward with blowing and beating, and soon disappeared.

He was left alone in the foreign streets, and only the filthy whispers that rose up from those alleys, floated in the air, and turned into Riddle's ears.

"Calamity..." "Family property..." "Lin Family" "Jia Family" "Lin Daiyu" "Ke died" "Orphan"

Those fragmentary words made Riddle's anger rush straight up from his mind, and he subconsciously reached for his wand.

"Riddle!"

Suddenly someone called him from behind!

So he turned his head, only to find that he was facing a dilapidated house. He was clearly still on the bustling Chinese street just now, and before he had time to think, the woman calling his name—the woman who was chased in the alley just now, He poured tea into the cup, and shouted to the person sitting on the sofa while pouring, "Riddle, my Tom, come here, I've already prepared dinner."

"Okay, Merope." Said the man on the sofa with his back to her.He has a back that Tom is familiar with.

Merope, that's... Mom.

That's mom and dad!

Tom Riddle was suddenly overwhelmed with ecstasy!He realized that he had finally met his parents. He wanted to go forward, but found that there seemed to be a transparent wall blocking him from entering this scene. Tom Riddle slapped the wall frantically, and Merope He sat down with old Tom Riddle very quickly. Merope was wearing a long skirt and his hair was very long, covering his face to cover his face. His expression was not very good, as if he was sick, but Riddle could still vaguely see Seeing her gentle side face, he really wanted to call her mother, but suddenly found that these two words were difficult to say - he had hardly uttered this word, and hadn't even practiced it.

After he knew the name Merope, he used to write it again and again, in the diary, with his fingers, with his wand, over and over again, Tom Riddle, Merope Gaunt, Tom Riddle, Merope Gaunt, that was his parents' names, that was his parents' names, was his only clue to them.

But he didn't write about mothers—he thought he was born without a mother, and he was embarrassed to call out the word mother since he was a child.

So Tom Riddle could only stare blankly at all this, at his father and mother—the young father and mother.

Merope and old Tom Riddle were still eating. Suddenly, old Riddle stood up and said something furiously. Tom Riddle vaguely heard the word "witch". In an instant, his face turned bloody. Nothing, and then he saw old Tom Riddle wave up and slap Merope across the face.

"No! No!" Riddle yelled, "Don't hit her! Don't do that!" But his yelling had no effect on what was going on, and he watched as old Tom Riddle kicked and punched Merope. Beat up.He showed no mercy, and Merope just endured it all except clutching his stomach, "Mama, wand, use the wand, Mama! You're a witch!" Tom Riddle yelled at Merope, who was unconscious Until I finally yelled that word.

But Merope never took out his wand from the beginning to the end. He just endured the vicious fists and kicks from old Tom until old Tom Riddle picked up Merope's hair, pulled her up, and carried her to the closet. side, walking towards Tom Riddle.

Riddle fumbled for his wand, trying to stop old Tom with magic, but he couldn't find his wand, he couldn't do anything, the wall was still there, and Merope was carried to a place very close to him. In this place, Riddle could even see Merope's helpless eyes of despair, he saw the tears in those eyes, he had never seen a person who could cry like this, that person was his mother, Riddle stretched out his hand , wanted to touch his mother, but was resisted by that invisible wall, he almost touched Merope!

Merope was beaten, but he clenched his teeth and said nothing, just covering his slightly raised belly.

Riddle felt his tears roll down.He wanted to reach out and wipe those tears away, he had never cried like this before.He slid down with his back to Merope, leaning against the wall.

He heard old Tom say, "I won't tolerate a witch as my wife...it's wicked...you...your foolish brother...."

Those indistinct staccato words were suddenly terminated by a violent knock on the door.Riddle turned his head and saw that old Tom Riddle had left the messy room, but Merope didn't do anything, just sat there like a stone sculpture, stroking his stomach.

Tom Riddle heard her muttering something to herself.

He leaned his head closer, and he heard Merope say, "Tom, my little Tom, at least you're with Mommy. Your name, your name, is Tom Riddle."

"Mom lied to Dad. Mom is a witch. In fact, no one loves Merope." Merope supported the table next to him and stood up. He sat back at the table by himself and continued to eat the unfinished black bread.

"Love is a lie. Mom has never been loved." The thin woman said to herself in a vague voice as she wolfed down the bread. "But mother doesn't want you to live in a lie."

"Mom will give you love and freedom."

"My little Tom Riddle, your name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, you will be a great wizard, you will be loved and free."

Merope's tears suddenly surged again, and she cried:

"Because you are no longer of the blood of incest."

Tom Riddle felt his blood run cold.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry for the delay, but I took the time to write a very cute episode!

Then I met an old friend who I hadn’t seen for a long time in the Fudai circle, and I was very happy.
