[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Zhao Changqing frowned, and said, "It's gone? You mean, the Philosopher's Stone is gone? How did it disappear? Did it disappear due to exhaustion of energy during a magic experiment, or was it stolen because of improper storage?"

Zhao Changqing sincerely hoped it was not the latter.

Tom's voice was full of shame: "Yes, it was improperly preserved."

"I remember I told you how troublesome it is to get the thing. Who was the previous keeper? Was it Nicole Flamel?"

"No, it's not. It's Albus Dumbledore."

"Ok?"

If it is Nicole Flamel, considering that this guy has lived for nearly 1000 years, and considering that this guy has gradually lost his five senses, it is very possible that he will not be able to keep this thing.

but,

Albus Dumbledore?

More importantly, doesn't Tom hate Dumbledore?How did they get together?What about Gellert Grindelwald?

"what happened?"

Tom Riddle said helplessly: "Father, I am in Nurmengard now. Nicole Flamel handed over the Philosopher's Stone to Albus Dumbledore for safekeeping, even though this old bee was kicked out I didn't want to go back after Hogwarts."

Tom Riddle always called Dumbledore an old bee, so it was no exception in front of Gellert Grindelwald, the German wizard king in Nurmengard.

When he called Dumbledore an old bee, Grindelwald's eyes immediately turned ugly.

Tom Riddle didn't care about that, though.

"Father, I remember that you are good at divination. Can you divine the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone?"

Zhao Changqing sighed and said, "Tom, if there is anything in this world that I cannot divination, it must be the Philosopher's Stone."

Tom Riddle was dumbfounded: "Father? You, why do you say that?"

Zhao Changqing said: "Do you still remember the basic description and definition of the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Father, you mean, turning stone into gold? Fulfilling all wishes? Omnipotent?"

Zhao Changqing smiled: "Yes. According to the teachings of Christianity, what this stone can do is no different from God."

"Father!"

Tom Riddle said eagerly: "Are you joking? God...it's impossible!"

Zhao Changqing said: "If it's a real sage's stone."

"But... Father, have you found anything?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "The first time I heard about the Philosopher's Stone, I couldn't help but use the water mirror technique to see this legendary thing. Do you know the result?"

Tom Riddle said: "Father, you said it. The water mirror technique can see the past and present of everything in this world."

"However, when I searched for the Philosopher's Stone with the water mirror technique, all I got was, nothing. Nothing."

"how is this possible?!"

Tom Riddle almost jumped up, and even Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald beside him looked solemn.

Zhao Changqing's strength, these two are very clear.

If Zhao Changqing's special magic can't find this stone, then...

Gellert Grindelwald leaned over and said, "Sir, please forgive my impoliteness. In fact, both Albus Dumbledore and I have seen the Sorcerer's Stone with our own eyes and touched it."

Zhao Changqing said: "I know. What I said is that what the water mirror technique can detect is the past and present of things in this world."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if what you have seen and touched is a genuine Philosopher's Stone, it is a matter of course that it cannot be detected by the water mirror technique."

Tom Riddle pushed Gellert Grindelwald aside and said, "Father, I don't understand."

Zhao Changqing replied: "Remember what I said about Nicole Flamel's lifespan? Only life can complement life, or something higher than life, such as the soul. However, once a person dies, life is will stop, and the soul, according to Greek mythology and ancient Egyptian mythology, should enter Hades to be judged, or according to Hebrew mythology, enter heaven or hell. Therefore, the real Philosopher's Stone cannot exist in the world, it only would exist in another world."

Tom Riddle murmured: "...magic can only make it be perceived by people in this world, but it can't make it truly come to this world."

"Yes." Zhao Changqing replied, "If it really came to this world, then the world would have been messed up."

This is the basic law of this world.

If this world allows souls to stay in the world, then this world will definitely not be so quiet.

At least it should be like Zhao Changqing's last world, the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, where dead spirits walk everywhere and skeletons run everywhere.

The problem is, even Zhao Changqing's old friend, the priest of ancient Egypt, would need such a big show to come to this world, and he was sent back so quickly.

If it wasn't because of the law, if the world allowed the existence of undead, then Emerton would have become a permanent resident of the world long ago.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changqing couldn't help but think of himself.

With a thought in his heart, he suddenly asked the housekeeper to bring his set of tortoise shells.

Tom Riddle in the Two-Way Mirror is very surprised:

"Father? Are you not..."

Didn't you say that the Philosopher's Stone cannot be obtained by divination?

Zhao Changqing replied: "Although it is taboo to divination for oneself as a fortune teller, it is not without loopholes that can be exploited. However, every time before, the results obtained were not due to the opportunity. But this time..."

Zhao Changqing clearly felt that his time in this world was running out.

The method Zhao Changqing said was actually to use the people around him to indirectly perform divination for himself.

For example, not long after he came to England, he declared that he would be the godfather of Shen Yannian, who had not yet been born, and then used Shen Yannian to predict how long he could stay in this world.

Not only Shen Yannian, Tom Riddle, but also Severus Snape, and even Shen Yu, he has divination.

Every time before, the result of Zhao Changqing's divination was that the opportunity did not come.

However, this time...

Seeing the hexagram, Zhao Changqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

A bad feeling emerged in Tom Riddle's heart, he said cautiously: "Father?"

Zhao Changqing smiled: "Tom, I have about a hundred days left."

"Father!"

Tom Riddle looked terrified.

Back then, it took him countless hours to let himself accept that Zhao Changqing was an immortal existence, an existence close to the gods, but now,

Zhao Changqing actually told him that he had [-] days left. Apart from being frightened, Tom Riddle also had a layer of anger.

"Father! You! You!"

Zhao Changqing replied: "Tom, didn't I tell you? I don't have a body. My current body is actually the condensation of my soul."

"However, you also said just now that the soul cannot stay in this world for too long..."

Zhao Changqing said: "Yes. I didn't realize this before, or I avoided it, so I was stuck in this time and space. Now, I realized this, so my time began to rotate, and I and this world The fate is coming to an end."

"Father! What do you mean by that?"

"It means that I am about to return to my original world."

"But……"

Zhao Changqing said: "You should come back soon. Bring Severus back. We will be very busy next time. After all, it will take three full months to sort out the property. Before Shen Yu becomes an adult, you Would you like to be Shen Yu's guardian?"

Tom finally couldn't help it: "Father! Why? Why can you understate it so lightly? Could it be that I, we are in your heart, are not important at all? Don't you have no nostalgia for this world at all?"

Zhao Changqing was silent for a while, and then said: "Tom, there is one thing that I have never told you. I am a time traveler."

Three children, Tom Riddle, Severus and Shen Yu, it seems that Shen Yu is the most dependent on him, but Shen Yu grew up in the jungle, the law of the jungle has been deeply rooted in his bones, he will be sad because of parting, but not Indulging because of this; Severus Snape is firm-willed and has his own pursuits, so even if he is sad, the sadness will not linger for too long; Love is also the most dependent on yourself.If you don't explain it, the child may do something irreparable.

"Time and space, traveler?"

Tom Riddle said stupidly.

"Yes. Time traveler. Life is a journey for every time traveler. When we end up with this world, we have actually stepped into another world. Of course, for me, when The stars rotate again, and when the opportunity comes again, I may return to this world again. But at that time, it is very likely that things will be different, and you may not be here anymore."

"how come?"

Zhao Changqing said lightly: "Tom, I'm not sure if I will come to this world again, and I'm not sure when I will come to this world again. Maybe it was 1000 years ago, maybe 1000 years later. I can't predict. I All I can do is arrange everything and wish you all the best."

Tom Riddle said: "Father, you said, you still have a hundred days?"

"Yes."

"You also said that you didn't realize it before, so your time is stopped. Now, your time has one hundred days left."

"Yes."

"If you realize that you will be rejected by the world, then you should go back to where you came from by now, shouldn't you? So, it's the Philosopher's Stone, right?

Zhao Changqing was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "You are very smart, Tom."
