Chapter 1099

…

"I think so, we succeeded..." Dumbledore said, reaching for the ring inlaid with the Resurrection Stone.

"Okay, professor..."

Fan Lin nodded, and then Dumbledore's dark fingers flashed before his eyes.

"Curse...curse...Voldemort's curse, Dumbledore..."

Fanlin suddenly thought of something, but he couldn't grasp it...

"Professor...Professor Dumbledore...wait a moment..."

As he spoke, Fanlin used a magic spell to fly the box away, "You can't do this..."

"What are you doing Fan Lin?" Dumbledore's words were vaguely angry. Seeing the Horcrux he had obtained... and Fan Lin was actually attacking him?

"No, this is not, Professor Dumbledore..." Fan Lin held his wand in one hand, and the biting cold air gave him a sense of reality.

"What's this?" Rutherford asked with a smile, his eyes kept shifting and he didn't know where he was looking.

"Wait, I guess we haven't made it yet."

"No, we made it, but you blew it away."

"No, that's not true. Besides, it's none of your business, old bat." Fan Lin felt agitated for no reason, which surprised him.

He hated Rutherford a little, but he never...

Is this magic?

Fan Lin suddenly thought of something. All of this was Voldemort's method to protect his Horcruxes. They had not escaped from Voldemort's magic at all, whether it was Dumbledore or Rutherford...

Fan Lin took two steps back slightly, but he didn't know what he touched. Fan Lin suddenly fell to the ground.

Dumbledore had clearly removed the obstacles around him just now, but why...

Seeing that Dumbledore was about to take the box in his hand again, Fan Lin didn't hesitate at all, and hit Dumbledore's hand with a magic spell.

"This is not true, I was under a spell..." Fan Lin muttered, watching helplessly as his spell passed through Dumbledore's hand.

Yes, he just touched something in the real world, that is, the obstacle that was not shown. So, what Fan Lin just controlled was his own body?

"What are you doing?" Dumbledore said seriously, while Rutherford beside him couldn't hold himself back.

"You impolite brat, it seems I need to give you some..."

He didn't have time to react. Fan Lin was very slow to catch the vampire. A figure moved very fast in front of him. Unlike Dumbledore, this time it was a real touch. The cold fangs were embedded in Fan Lin's skin. among.

Fan Lin was a little confused as to whether this was an illusion or reality, but one thing was certain, he was being attacked by vampires...

"Give it to me, get out of here!"

Fan Lin roared, and the wand hit Rutherford's head directly. A cold light seemed to destroy everything around him, but the heartbreaking pain woke Fan Lin up again...

"This is..." Fan Lin looked down at the bone snake biting his arm, and his wand had completely destroyed the snake body behind it.

"Is this an illusion?" Fan Lin took off the dead snake from his arm with some difficulty. Everything around him changed. It was just like when he first came in. The cabin was still as dilapidated, with tables, chairs, and bookcases. …

But no matter the bones of the dead or the feeling of desolation, they all disappeared. Just like what Ogden remembered, there were not so many furnishings in Gaunt's cabin, and naturally, there were no Muggles. Come and visit.

The door was open, and Rutherford stood at the door stupidly, licking his lips from time to time.

"Dumbledore..." Fan Lin called out and quickly got up from the ground. A dizzy feeling caused by excessive blood loss made Fan Lin's body shake a little.

But compared to his poor condition, Dumbledore's current appearance is more worrying.

Dumbledore's old body was curled up, his eyes fixed on the open cupboard.

A gemstone ring in Ogden's memory lay there quietly, without any light or magic, but it firmly attracted all of Dumbledore's attention.

"Ariana!"

"What?" Fan Lin's expression changed slightly. This was exactly what he had been worried about before coming.

Ariana Dumbledore, sister of Albus Dumbledore and Aberforth Dumbledore.

If there is anything that can affect Dumbledore, apart from his sister Ariana, there is only Grindelwald. And now, for Dumbledore, there is no living person, specifically, for the Resurrection Stone. What role, of course, Ariana is Dumbledore's nightmare.

"Professor, stop, there are only three of us here, and there is no Ariana!" Fan Lin resisted his weakness and wanted to step forward to pull Dumbledore back, but in a daze, Fan Lin saw someone's figure behind him. Shake.

"Get out of here!" Fan Lin yelled, and then used a magic spell to smash the locker containing the Resurrection Stone ring to prevent Dumbledore from touching the ring.

But this is of no use, the Resurrection Stone is still affecting Dumbledore...

"Ariana, are you back? Are you willing to forgive me? It's all my fault. I shouldn't..."

"Nothing should happen..." Fanlin's steps were a little shaky. He ran forward a few steps, got rid of the control of the Resurrection Stone, and grabbed Dumbledore with his hand.

"Calm down, professor, we are all under Voldemort's magic, or rather, the magic of the god of death. You must cheer up, professor..."

Fanlin shook Dumbledore's shoulders, but when he looked up, Fanlin was a little dazed.

What did he see?

Dumbledore actually cried in front of him, just like an ordinary Muggle old man?

If this were to be said, others would definitely think he was crazy.

But that was the fact. The Resurrection Stone had such a profound impact on Dumbledore.

Fortunately, all the people Fanlin wanted to see were alive in the world, and his mother did not become an obsession. Naturally, breaking the illusion only required some opportunities.

But Dumbledore was different. His guilt for Ariana was simply unimaginable to ordinary people.

Kill Ariana with his own hands?

This was simply going to drive Dumbledore crazy.

If this is really Ariana, Fanlin doesn't mind Dumbledore being immersed for a while.

But Fanlin, who has woken up, still remembers the characteristics of the Resurrection Stone. This is not the real Ariana. This is just a ghost created by the Resurrection Stone based on Dumbledore's memory.

The real Ariana must have left here long ago and went to the world of the dead. Fanlin experienced it in the second grade. After passing through the white nothingness, there is really no way back.

Therefore, the Resurrection Stone can only recall the souls that are still wandering in the world, and for those who have left long ago, the Resurrection Stone can only create a false fantasy, and with a strong pessimistic heart. Under this influence, no matter who it is, they will be tortured and crazy mentally, but in the end they can't get what they want, so they naturally have to find it themselves.

Suicide becomes the only way.

What a shitty Deathly Hallows, this is a sharp blade to torture yourself.

There were only three of them here, Dumbledore, himself, and the old vampire who had not broken free. This damned resurrection stone could only project images into Dumbledore's memory.

"Damn it, Dumbledore, wake up..." Fanlin shook Dumbledore's body vigorously, but it was useless.

Dumbledore was surprisingly strong, and Fanlin could not stop him from picking up the ring.

"Wake up, Professor Dumbledore, that's not Ariana!"

Fanlin seemed to suddenly understand why Voldemort did not take the ring.

Voldemort did not fail to discover the function of the ring. If you think about it, Voldemort was also invaded by memory, and then saw his mother and the Muggle father?

But with Voldemort's character, how could a guy who could kill his father with his own hands care?

Naturally, Voldemort left the ring here. This is the best protection. Not all people are as inhumane as him. People who come to find Horcruxes will naturally be affected by the resurrection stone.

And destruction is the final outcome, which was planned from the beginning.

Fan Lin finally understood why Voldemort would leave the ring here with confidence. This is something that no one can touch.

And obviously, Voldemort also left some magic, such as the snake that attacked him, which is a backup means to destroy the guy who is less affected by the Resurrection Stone.

This is almost foolproof. It can be said that he should be grateful that his little life experience saved him?

But Dumbledore is obviously not among them. He was too deeply affected by Ariana...

Voldemort's magic is tempting Dumbledore to wear the ring, which is equivalent to keeping Ariana by his side, and then there is the curse on the ring?

Maybe it is not aimed at Dumbledore, but there is no doubt that anyone else will be killed if they come here.

Sirius didn't even enter the house. He was hallucinated outside the door!

Damn...

"Hold on, Professor!" Fan Lin said, pointing his wand at Dumbledore.

"Legitimate Psychic!"

A ray of light penetrated Dumbledore's body, and Fanlin's eyes blurred. He vaguely saw a face, a girl's face, was it... Ariana?

Perhaps it was Ariana, but before Fanlin could see anything else, a strong sense of resistance came over him, and then Fanlin returned to Gaunt's ancestral home.

Fanlin felt that his head was about to explode. He used his mind to probe Dumbledore's inner world. If Dumbledore hadn't been deeply trapped in hallucinations, he would have become an idiot if he wasn't careful.

But this also worked. Dumbledore's body stopped, and he seemed a little confused.

"Very good, let's do it again... Legilimency!"

The scene changed instantly. It was a small room. Du and his brother and Grindelwald were confronting each other. Then a spell hit Ariana on the side. Dumbledore and Aberforth screamed in pain together...

"Abu..."

"Professor Dumbledore..." Fanlin felt a little dizzy. The squeezing feeling was too strong. He even found it difficult to move his body standing here.

"Professor Dumbledore, wake up quickly..." Fanlin rushed forward, but as soon as he took a step in, it was as if he had stepped into the abyss.

"You won't succeed, he can't be awakened by you..." A hollow female voice sounded from Fanlin's mind. In fact, Fanlin couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Shut up!" Without thinking too much, Fanlin ran forward quickly. It was Ariana's tombstone, and Dumbledore was kneeling there.

"It's not this..." Fanlin resisted his dizziness, tapped his wand, and the picture changed again, returning to the face he saw for the first time, the face of Ariana.

This time, Fanlin saw it clearly. Dumbledore stood in front of Ariana with tears on his face, his lips kept moving, as if begging Ariana for forgiveness.

"No, Professor Dumbledore, that's not true..." Fanlin swung his wand with great effort. The next second, as if a mirror was broken, Fanlin returned to Gaunt's ancestral home again...

"Come again... Legilimency!"

Fanlin raised his hand with some difficulty, but...

"Stop, Fanlin, I'm awake..." Dumbledore's tired voice came from the side, and then the old body fell to the ground in a somewhat dejected manner.

This made Fanlin breathe a sigh of relief, and then his body softened and collapsed on the floor.

Fortunately, Dumbledore has woken up, and perhaps he has cracked the magic, but the price he paid...

If Dumbledore had resisted a little, Fanlin's consciousness would have been shattered in the first place, and the end would naturally be to become an idiot. Fortunately, Dumbledore still woke up.

As if he had been liberated, Fanlin looked up at the ceiling, and beams of light sprinkled down through the gaps in the bricks and tiles.

Once again, Fanlin recalled Ariana's face, Dumbledore's nightmare.

In fact, because Ariana was accidentally seen by three Muggle boys when she was a child, the three boys did terrible things to her, and she lost control of magic. The magic in her body drove her crazy.

And Percival Dumbledore killed those Muggles for revenge and was sent to Azkaban.

In order to prevent Ariana from being imprisoned in St. Mungo's for life, Kendra took Ariana and Albus away from the Fertile Plains to Godric's Hollow. And announced to the public that Ariana was in poor health and could not go to school.

In fact, Ariana was always timid and cute when she was normal. Only Aberforth could calm down the out-of-control Ariana. Because a magical riot killed her mother Kendra Dumbledore. From then on, Albus began to take care of Ariana.

But a few weeks later, Dumbledore met Gellert Grindelwald. The two chatted very well and ignored Ariana.

Dumbledore's brother Aberforth returned home from Hogwarts and blamed Dumbledore for not taking good care of his sister Ariana.

So the two brothers clashed and drew their wands. Grindelwald was very angry at this time, thinking that Aberforth was a stupid child who hindered his and Dumbledore's grand plan, so they pointed their wands at each other. The three injured innocent Ariana in the melee and caused her death.

Later, Ariana was buried in Godric's Hollow, and the epitaph read "Where the treasure is, there is the heart also."

In short, this is the wrong thing Dumbledore did when he was young, but Ariana paid the price. There is no doubt that this experience almost cost Dumbledore his life.

What if only Dumbledore came today? (To be continued)
