Charles felt as if he had gotten into trouble. There should be existences in this world that were different from his own "memory", and the nonsense he just talked about actually hit the point.
He calmed down immediately. At this time, he couldn't say that he didn't know. If Voldemort used Legilimency to "see" a large number of his and Lin Daiyu's colleagues, who knows what kind of trouble would happen. What if he "saw" the trouble with Snape.
Big.
So Charles replied: "It's a group of Muggles who call themselves the 'Church of Necessary Evil'. They say they have been looking for a treasure with these magic books, and they use this excuse to defraud Muggles out of their money."
Voldemort asked him: "Only Muggles?"
Charles immediately replied: "I only met them once, and I never saw them use magic wands. They also said they were going to the Pyramids, Easter Island, Leifeng Tower and other places to look for clues."
What we need to do now is to muddy the water. If Voldemort has the ability, he can go to Leifeng Pagoda to cause trouble and see if the old man of the Xu family who sells drinks at a stall next to him will beat him until his nose is swollen.
Voldemort did not react for a while, and then said after a long time: "These despicable thieves must have gotten some information from some wizard, and they want to steal the precious wealth belonging to the wizard!"
Charles asked him doubtfully: "Professor, is there really such a treasure?"
However, Voldemort's answer was "I don't know."
After a moment, he added: "I heard that a hundred years ago, there were goblins who wanted to seize some kind of power, but failed in the end."
"But this period of history has been erased. There are no clues. No one knows what kind of power it is, where it is, and whose hands it is now."
Charles was very surprised when he heard this, but he was not interested in this matter. Since they have the ability to seal this matter so that even Voldemort can't find any clues, it means that there is an awesome person who doesn't want people to touch this thing. If
If you rush to check it yourself, you might not be able to play on the computer when you get home.
Voldemort obviously didn't think Charles would know more, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued to pace back and forth.
Charles also began to continue copying the catalog, and the office suddenly became quiet.
Voldemort glanced at Charles through Quirrell from time to time and found that he was very serious and felt quite satisfied.
After about ten minutes, Voldemort suddenly asked Charles: "I heard that you are looking for an explosive spell?"
Charles raised his head and didn't understand how he knew, but he didn't hide it and answered: "Yes, Professor. I need some means to eliminate the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest, but my strength is not enough.
”
Voldemort looked at him and said very sternly: "If you go to fight one Acromantula now, you will win. If you fight ten Acromantulas, you may win. But if you fight the entire Acromantula group, you won't even have a corpse left."
If you don’t, you will be eaten completely.”
Charles was so frightened that he was trembling and pretending.
"Then what should I do?" he asked pitifully, "I promised my friends that I would help them eliminate the Acromantula."
Voldemort pointed to the books and said: "Find the answer yourself."
Charles was speechless.
The office became quiet again, with only the sounds of pacing and the scratching of quills on parchment.
But Voldemort seemed to have many questions to ask, and this time he asked a question that made Charles very unhappy: "I heard that you have killed someone?"
Charles was stunned and replied a little unhappy: "Can I not answer this question?"
He actually answered this question by saying this.
Voldemort was a little curious. He had never killed anyone when he was so old, but he was actually better than him. He was a talent.
"Can I know why?" Voldemort tried to make his tone softer, like a close brother, but in Charles' ears it sounded more like a threat.
Charles pouted and replied: "Nothing, I was just involved in a kidnapping case. In order to escape, I killed one of the kidnappers."
It is said that there are many children of powerful people in his elementary school. The middle class like Hermione's family can only be considered ordinary. There are also many parents who are county council members like Charles's father.
This spring when their sixth grade students were on a spring outing, the daughter of a big capitalist in the class was kidnapped. Because Charles was playing with that classmate at the time, the kidnapper took her away.
At that time, the kidnappers relaxed their vigilance because the kidnappers were still children. When the other kidnappers went out to collect the ransom, only one person was left to guard them.
The kidnapper who was guarding them was strangled to death by Charles with a noose made of shoelaces while he was sleeping, and then used the phone in the house to call the police, who then followed the phone line to find them.
This matter caused a big fuss within the relevant departments, and the SAS was dispatched, but it was suppressed by the parents of both parties. Charles later refused to mention it, and even the neighbors did not know about it.
The kidnapped classmate transferred to another school before returning to school. Other classmates said that Charles killed the kidnapper alone and ran back. After all, he signed up for a boxing class and his grades have always been very good.
So during flying lessons during the day, Hermione had to hold Charles because she was worried that he would beat him to death.
Voldemort asked him: "Were you afraid at that time?"
Charles was stunned and realized that he had not thought about this problem.
He stopped writing and recalled for a while, shook his head and replied: "I'm not afraid. I didn't feel afraid at the time."
Voldemort asked him again: "What did you feel when you knew he was dead, fear or joy?"
Charles frowned and thought about it for a long time before he answered firmly: "There is no fear or joy, and I feel very calm, just like... just like I just copied a few words."
His answer was such that Voldemort was stunned.
If Charles answers fear, Voldemort can lure him to seek more power. If he answers joy, he can lead him to repeat such happy things. In short, he will be pulled into the pit of dark magic.
As a result, Charles had no qualms about murder in his heart, and Voldemort had never seen him in all his years of wandering around the world.
Voldemort felt that he needed to adjust his strategy, so he didn't say anything until the time was up.
Charles ran out of the office and walked a long way before he dared to breathe a sigh of relief. He reviewed what had just happened in his mind and couldn't figure out why Voldemort did what he did.
At this time, he felt a little irritable and felt that his fate could not be grasped in his own hands. As he walked, when he came back to his senses, he found that the door that answered all requests appeared in front of him.
Charles sighed, walked into the Response Room, and saw that it was a boxing gym.
He picked up the boxing gloves and tried them. They were quite good. Then he took off his robe and went to the side to punch a punching bag, as if the punching bag was Voldemort.
I don't know how much time passed, but it was already very late when he lay on the ground panting.
So he left the Room of Requirement, turned the Room into a bathroom, took a hot bath, and had a late-night snack in the kitchen before returning to the Gryffindor common room.
When entering the door, the fat lady complained: "Don't young people nowadays have to sleep?"
When Charles entered the common room, the scene in front of him made him a little stunned.
There was nothing wrong with Hermione standing there in her pink dressing gown.
The problem is that like Harry, Ron, and Neville, her face is red, sweating profusely, and a little out of breath. She has obviously just finished strenuous exercise.
For a bigger problem, Hermione angrily said to the three people: "Okay, if you don't object, I'm going to bed!"
Charles scratched his head. Did something terrible happen to them just now?
