The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 437 Resurrection Stone

"All the confessions have been taken down and are here."

After struggling for nearly 10 hours, Zhang Qi grabbed the paper in front of Shen Jian and handed it to Dumbledore.

"He was already in a groggy state at the end. Is his confession at that time reliable?"

Dumbledore glanced at Barty, who had fallen on the chair. There was a trace of regret in his eyes, but there was no mercy.

"Being groggy means that we have completely defeated the bottom line of his thinking logic. After experiencing pain and sleepiness, the human brain will directly let go of thinking restrictions in order to obtain short-term peace. At this time, as long as you ask He will answer whatever he wants, and he cannot lie."

"But why don't we use the Veritaserum brewed by Professor Snape"?

Dumbledore sighed.

"I think you also know that if you know that there is veritaserum in the tea, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced a lot. I don't plan to take this risk, but anyway, he doesn't remember what he confessed now. Wait until he When it is handed over to the Ministry of Magic, they can be interrogated with veritaserum, and both parties only need to check the confession once to know whether it is true."

Zhang Qi gently tapped the paper recording the confession with his hand, and then continued:

"Riddle's old house, Voldemort is there for the time being. He may be checking the storage status of his Horcrux. I think you should have taken that thing back"?

Zhang Qi looked at Dumbledore with a complicated expression.

"Yes, I followed our agreement and placed the item in the isolation box made by Mithril the moment I channeled it. I have never touched it."

Dumbledore sighed softly, then took out a small box of mithril and placed it on the table.

"Well, that's the end of that Unbreakable Vow".

Zhang Qi gently rolled up his sleeves, and the glowing red chain-like lines on his arms slowly extinguished, and then the patterns on his skin also disappeared.

“Remember to dispose of anything on it before putting it back on”.

Zhang Qi nodded and then walked out.

"The confession is here for you. When you go back to rest, we have fully verified the authenticity. This confession is reliable."

Shen Jian also nodded politely, then opened the door and walked out.

"The future belongs to you, children."

Looking at the empty Room of Requirement, Dumbledore sighed softly, and then opened the small mithril box.

In the center of the small box lies a simple ring. The ring is made of gold and is inlaid with a black rime stone.

That black gem is like a condensed soul, and it looks particularly intoxicating.

"Hiss!"

A cloud of black mist suddenly rose from the ring and rushed toward Dumbledore's face.

"Why can't you leave this world honestly? Tom"?

Dumbledore sighed and drew a circle with his wand.

The layers of black mist were pulled away from the ring, and were finally firmly confined within a bubble in the air.

"The alchemical stabilizing device made by Nico is your destination. Originally, I thought of sending you directly back to the arms of death, but Ms. Xu Lin changed my mind."

"You have done too many evil things, Tom, and being tried is the best outcome for you."

Dumbledore murmured to himself, and finally grabbed the ring.

The arm being corroded like in the original book did not happen. Dumbledore looked at the ring in his hand, feeling the majestic power inside, and gently wiped his eyes with his left hand.

But the tears were still falling in big drops towards the ground...

The ring on his hand began to spray some mist, and then condensed into a somewhat blurry figure in the air.

It was a beautiful little girl with a confused expression, blue eyes and blond hair. She looked at the old man in front of her in confusion and opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say.

"Long time no see, Ariana."

Dumbledore gently wiped the tears from his reddish eyes with the back of his hand and smiled sincerely.

………………

"what is that"?

Standing outside the door of the Room of Requirement, Shen Jian asked casually.

"The ring passed down from Voldemort's family. Mr. Slytherin finally collected one of the Three Holy Artifacts, the Resurrection Stone, and set it in the ring. This stone has the power to summon the souls of the dead from the underworld. ".

Zhang Qi said calmly.

"Is the effect of this stone real?"

Shen Jian asked after being silent for a moment.

"I don't know if it's true, but I know it's not a polite thing to disturb the soul of a dead person, even if you really miss him."

Zhang Qi also sighed at this moment.

"They'll be watching us from up there."

"I think so too".

The two looked at each other and fell into silence for a long time.

"You forgot to get her a dress."

Shen Jian said suddenly.

"My mother will never forget this. She always thinks ahead of me, especially about this kind of thing."

Zhang Qi waved his hand.

"Gentlemen, I have erased his memory and repaired the wounds on his body. He will not remember this matter in a short time, but it may leave some sequelae as a conditioned reflex. However, It’s not a big problem.”

Dumbledore opened the door to the Room of Requirement and walked out. Zhang Qi noticed that his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried.

"It's already the next morning, right? Please prepare breakfast for us, and then the two of us will go underwater to catch up on our sleep."

Zhang Qi looked at the old man's haggard face and handed over a bottle of potion.

"Vitality Tonic Potion? Thank you, kid."

Dumbledore drank all the potion in the small bottle and nodded.

"Come to the principal's office for dinner. The other hostages are ready, um, but there is one player who doesn't have any hostages."

"I guess they're the remnants of that samurai family"?

Zhang Qi asked with some interest.

"Yes, so we finally put his family's demon sword into the water."

Dumbledore sighed.

"I will add an extra layer of magic to keep you two warm. You can catch up on a good night's sleep underwater. There will be a dance party tonight."

"Let me state in advance that the dance is his home venue, not mine."

Shen Jian immediately waved his hand.

"I know, but as the organizer of the competition, I still invite you and your team members to have a good meal in the auditorium. Anyway, the dinner and dance are held at the same time."

Dumbledore, who understood the rules and regulations of China, winked mischievously.

"Ah, I can finally catch up on some sleep."

Zhang Qi yawned and then stretched.
