Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 206 The destroyed Horcrux
"Drink it!"

Riddle poured the poisonous spring water into Winky's mouth, Winky didn't dare to refuse, but began to become delirious, shaking her head constantly, her protruding eyes were full of tears.

"No—my old master—"

She regarded Riddle as old Batty, and her mournful voice was full of confession.

"Twinkle shouldn't—Twinkle shouldn't let the young master go—but they all said—the mysterious man is dead—"

"Drink it!"

The fire in Riddle's heart ignited again, and Shining's unconscious words clearly hurt him.

You-Know-Who is dead?
Oh, he is still alive and well!

At this time, there was a sudden movement in the black lake water, as if something had come to life, shaking the mirror-like lake water.

Riddle just glanced down, of course he knew what was at the bottom of the lake!
The surface of the lake was no longer as smooth as a mirror, but was churning violently.Here and there white heads and hands emerged from the black water, men, women, and children, with sunken, blind eyes, floating toward the rocks: emerging from the pitch-black lake A lot of dead bodies came out.

Infernal Corpse!

These are the ghouls he made before, tens of thousands - all wizards or Muggles killed by him, in fact, Muggles make up the majority.Otherwise, if all the wizards in England were killed, they wouldn't be able to gather so many.

These countless corpses are the third barrier left by Voldemort to protect the Horcruxes.

It is impossible for anyone, not even Dumbledore, to escape from these Inferi after drinking the poisonous spring water.

This is why, until the spring water is drunk, these ghost corpses will not do anything.

Now, Riddle threw the twitching Shining aside, and those infernal corpses that crawled out from the bottom of the lake, like a large number of black ants, immediately tore her to pieces and swallowed her flesh and blood into their stomachs.And Winky barely made any resistance, as if actively waiting for death.

More and more Inferi crawled out from the bottom of the lake, clutching the slippery rocks with their withered hands, staring at Riddle with empty, foggy eyes, dragging behind them wet rags, one by one There was a look of contempt on the sunken face.

Riddle lowered his eyelids halfway, as if he was looking at something dirty. With a flick of his wrist, Fiendflame ignited from the wand, and the raging flames rose up all of a sudden, several meters high!Like a giant ring of fire separating the islands in the lake.

The flames were extremely aggressive, even on the surface of the water, they were constantly burning. Those corpses did not dare to touch the flames, and avoided them like instinct. More corpses were directly blocked at the bottom of the lake, and even a little movement Can't send it out either.

Apart from that initial contemptuous glance, Riddle never looked at them.Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the dried up spring——

A pendant with a snake pattern lay quietly inside.

He looked happy, but before reaching out to pick up the Horcrux, Riddle realized something was wrong.

"Fake!"

He gritted his teeth hard, and the inside of his chest exploded like ignited gunpowder!

He grabbed the imitation Slytherin pendant in his right hand, his knuckles turning white.

Anger almost made him lose his composure. Not only did he take away his Horcrux, but he also put an inferior fake in it. This is simply humiliating!
'Dumbledore would not have done such a thing, would you, Charlene Gold?You vile Mudblood! '

He stood for several minutes before the flame in his heart was extinguished, and it was at this time that he picked up the fake pendant and took a closer look.Compared to the real thing, this one is neither that big nor lacks the floral logo, nor the ornate "S" mark that is typical of Slytherin.Also, there was nothing inside but a folded piece of parchment tucked tightly in place of the portrait.

"Are you provoking me?"

Riddle said coldly, and he had to admit that no matter who this person was, he really pissed himself off!
He pulled out the parchment—

"To the Dark Lord

I'm dead before you read this
But I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I'm willing to risk my life, but I hope that when you meet your opponent
can be killed.

RAB"

"RAB—Regulus Arcturus Black, is that you?"

After seeing what was written on the parchment, Riddle felt more surprised than angry.

One must know that Regulus was a junior whom he valued very much before.In addition to his identity as the Black family, his talent and loyalty made Voldemort very satisfied.

Even the reason why this Horcrux can be protected by layers is thanks to the help of Regulus' house elf.But the reality is so dramatic, the one who stole the Horcrux is none other than this Death Eater whom he considers loyal and worth cultivating.

But Riddle was overthinking and didn't understand why the other party betrayed him.

After all, even if he was smart, he probably couldn't understand that a wizard from a pure-blood family could sympathize with a house-elf.

"Reculus, I heard he died a long time ago." Riddle said to himself, "Did he destroy the Horcrux? Or not?"

It's not difficult to destroy a Horcrux, all you need is a Fiendfire——

But Regulus' untimely death gave him hope—perhaps the Horcrux hadn't been destroyed.

"He can get the Horcrux, but I'm afraid it's impossible to leave with the Horcrux." Speaking, Riddle looked at the black lake covered in flames. The Horcrux is likely to be at the bottom of the lake, in a dead In the palm of the fallen Yin corpse.

But it is very difficult to find it.

There are tens of thousands of Yin corpses here, how can they find them one by one?
etc--

Flames were reflected in his black pupils, and his face was pale.

The Fierce Flame I set off won't destroy the Horcrux, right?
Riddle quickly took back Li Huo. If the Horcrux was not destroyed by Regulus, but destroyed by himself, it would be a big joke.

"No, even though it is impossible for Regulus to escape from here, we can't just take it for granted that the Horcrux is still at the bottom of the lake." Riddle thought for a while.If he just relied on his own assumptions as facts, then he would not be the Voldemort who was afraid of death.

How could a person who had to make six Horcruxes base his fate on one possibility?

But now, it is impossible for him to recreate the Horcrux.

After all, he himself was revived from a Horcrux, and with his current broken soul, it is impossible to make a Horcrux again.

On the other hand, the main body should still be making a Horcrux.

Riddle is very sure that since he still exists, it is impossible for the main body to die.I'm afraid that now the opponent's body is destroyed by Sakagi of the reserve Rockets, but the soul may be attached to something, waiting for a comeback.

If possible, he would like to find the location of the main body.

But he didn't want to help the main body resurrect, but planned to devour that part of the soul.Now it seems that there are still great hidden dangers in relying on the power of Horcruxes to achieve immortality.

The ring of the Gaunt family has been destroyed, and the pendant is nowhere to be found.The news of Ravenclaw's crown has yet to be confirmed by Barty Jr., and Hufflepuff's gold cup...

"Bella is dead too." Riddle shook his head, after all, these things are still unreliable.Fortunately, there is another path in front of him now.

——Legendary Pokémon!

"The memories that Dumbledore in the Pokémon world showed me, if I can get the power of those Pokémon, then the world will fall into my hands sooner or later! Immortality is nothing but the power of endless power. Just a little extra!" Riddle took a deep breath.

At this time, without the support of the flames, a large number of corpses had surrounded them, and the small rocks in the lake had been blocked layer by layer, and even the small boat crossing the lake was overturned!

Riddle swung his wand sharply, and cut off all the heads of the ghouls in the circle closest to him.Then push harder—

Boom! ! !
With a bang, a vacuum zone was formed in an instant, and the corpses within a few meters were all turned into dust by him.

"Go away, dirty thing!"

He changed to another kind of flame. This kind of flame was not enough to burn the Horcrux, but it still had no problem dealing with the Inferi.The huge magic power caused the flames to form huge waves, rolling continuously on the turbulent black lake.

The Yin Corpse was forced back again, and the scorching flames parted in an instant, like the sea that was parted in the Bible. The bright flames reflected it, making the originally black lake appear even blacker.

Riddle picked up a piece of residue left by Winky's bite, and plunged into the black lake with a thud.

The lake water is very cold. This kind of coldness is not in temperature, but touches the soul.Every inch of skin in contact with the lake water was tingling, as if countless needles shining with silver light had pierced into all the pores.

But Riddle had no choice.

Flying is impossible in this area, and even Apparatus is an extravagant hope.The boat was overturned, and he had no choice but to swim across.

At the bottom of the lake, the dim yellow flames kept flickering, and the ghost corpses swam towards Riddle one by one like sharks, as if they smelled the scent of a living person.

Riddle held his breath and took the trouble to repel them, destroying them!It took him a long time to swim to the gate, almost exhausted, and he pressed the pieces of Winky's body against the gate, which greedily sucked up the remaining blood from the corpse.

Then it opens.

Riddle was back under the starry night sky, standing on the top of the giant boulder closest to him, dripping wet.But soon, a large amount of water vapor escaped from his body, and he became that handsome Riddle again.

He did not leave immediately, but sat down on the pebbles.

"Whether the pendant is destroyed or not, I should treat it as if it was destroyed," he thought.

At this time, there was a "pop" sound in the air.

Riddle immediately turned his head to look over, and found that it was Little Barty with Lockhart's face on his face.

"Owner--"

Little Barty leaned over nervously, and said cautiously: "Master, I have looked for it, and there is no rusty crown."

"Have you looked carefully? The Flying Curse is useless." Riddle asked immediately.

"Go over it all!"

"I see." Riddle nodded, his face a little gloomy.

He didn't expect that he would be found in such a hidden place as the Room of Requirement.At least it is certain that the crown is absolutely destroyed.But unexpectedly, now Riddle's heart is not so annoyed.It seemed that the Horcrux was not that important to him anymore.

"You go back, stay at Hogwarts, build a good relationship with that mudblood, or kill him, and Harry Potter, no matter how he defeated me back then, it is a hidden danger after all."

He handed the diary to Barty Jr., who has already obtained his physical body, even if there is an accident in the diary, it will not affect him anymore.But Little Barty doesn't have a Parseltongue, so he has to rely on the diary to open the secret room and command the Snake King.

"I see—Master."

Then, Riddle ignored Batty Jr. and disappeared in place.

He had one more thing to confirm.

In the corner of Knockturn Alley, Riddle, wrapped in a black robe, appeared unknowingly.He changed his appearance to ensure that there would be no flaws.But as soon as he landed, many dark wizards were already eyeing him.

"child--"

An ugly witch showed a piercing smile. Her face was covered with pockmarks, her teeth were black, and her eyes were crooked. It was obvious that she had been exposed to a lot of evil black magic.

Now, she's eyeing Riddle, who looks a little immature.

"Come here, kid, I have something good here—" she said mysteriously.

"What?" Riddle's eyes flashed, and he walked over without hesitation, acting like an inexperienced student.Who would have thought that he was the once feared Dark Lord?
The smile on the witch's face became even bigger. She dragged Riddle into a deserted alley without any explanation. The other dark wizards who had taken a liking to Riddle could only walk away in disappointment.

However, a moment later, Riddle came out of the alley holding a large bag of Galleons.

"A mean thing."

He directly crossed Knockturn Alley and came to Diagon Alley after a long absence.

It has been almost decades, and the days when I was a student seem to be still in front of me, and the figures coming and going in Diagon Alley seem to overlap with my memory.

But Riddle had nothing to miss in his heart.

He walked to the door of Gringotts with a blank expression.

The place is magnificent, with the golden gate and marble floor shining brightly.

Those greedy goblins saw the bag in his hand, immediately smelled the smell of money, and greeted him with joy.

"Sir, are you——"

"Save some money and open a vault for me." Riddle said without changing his expression.

"Come here!" The goblin showed the greatest enthusiasm when he heard that he was here to save money.

However, when Riddle walked to the corner with him:
"Out of body—"

"Tell me, has anyone opened the Lestrange family's vault recently?"

"Malfoy opened it," the goblin said drowsily.

Lucius Malfoy!

Voldemort's biggest traitor!
