The subsequent development was as described in the plot. Harry successfully took out the Sword of Gryffindor from the hat, stabbed the basilisk to death, and used the basilisk's teeth to destroy the diary.
One of Voldemort's Horcruxes was destroyed, and the soul inside was completely destroyed.
And Eli returned to that vast white space.
"Am I dead again?"
It's no wonder that Eli thought so. He stared directly into the eyes of the basilisk and gave him a death stare.
"No, you just fainted."
An old voice sounded, and Eli was frightened. He saw a bald old man wearing gray robes standing behind him.
"Don't be afraid, kid."
"Who are you?" Eli thought this face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"You should have seen my statue and know my name."
A name suddenly popped into Eli's mind, but he felt that his idea was too absurd.
But the old man in front of him gradually overlapped with the name in his mind.
"Old... old dean?"
"Oh, by the way, I am your old dean, Salazar Slytherin."
The old man seemed a little excited as he had not spoken to anyone for hundreds of years.
Eli only thought that he might have seen a ghost. Slytherin was a person who had been dead for thousands of years. How could he appear here again?
Slytherin seemed to see Eli's suspicion, "Actually, I should be dead, but because of some troubles, I let my soul stay." "
Trouble? I mean... what kind of trouble Can..."
Eli could not imagine what kind of trouble would force such a legendary wizard to keep his soul.
Slytherin's face became serious, "Child, each of us is only being manipulated from birth to death. From this, divination was born to spy on the rest of our lives, but there are always people who are not willing to be controlled at will."
"So you too?"
Slytherin nodded.
But Eli still doesn't understand what kind of existence can control the fate of everyone in the world, and why does Slytherin choose to exist in the form of a soul to this day? Is it because he just doesn't want to die?
"Then who is controlling us?"
Eli felt a little creepy. Everything in the world is being controlled? Then aren't they acting in a play?
"Death"
Slytherin answered quite simply, his eyes still calm and calm.
"Death?"
This was not the first time Eli heard the name of Death. Nicoléme had explained to him the Deathly Hallows and the authority of Death before.
But Eli never believed that gods really existed in this world.
Slytherin continued, "The God of Death controls people's destiny. When you are born and when you die are just a matter of his thoughts. But the God of Death is not without desires. He longs for souls and powerful souls. Throughout the ages, , he designed the deaths of countless powerful wizards and collected their souls."
"Do you know the Death Curse? It's the thing that emits green light. This is the magic created by the God of Death to collect souls and control the mind."
Eli The image of Slytherin in my heart gradually collapsed. Is this old and ungrateful guy really Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts... "Everyone was killed
by the Death Curse." Anyone who casts the Death Curse will have his soul taken away by the God of Death, and every time a person casts the Death Curse, his soul will be broken, and eventually he will gradually lose his mind and be easily controlled by the God of Death."
Slytherin Eli was fascinated by the talk. He had never heard of these secrets.
"There are also dementors. They don't count as beings. They are just tools sent by Death to the human world to help him absorb souls. They are extremely evil. What Death likes most are the souls of powerful wizards, such as me. He tried every means to make me die. , I also spent my whole life fighting against him."
"That basilisk is actually my Animagus. In my old age, I sealed my soul in the Animagus forever. I can never change back. I am in human form, but at least the God of Death can't do anything to me. Later, because of the shrinkage of my soul, my body has been relying on instinct to move until I find a suitable successor for me to complete my unfinished business." "What business?"
"
Kill Death!"
Slytherin's sudden murderous intent shocked Eli.
Killing the God of Death, how crazy it sounds, such terrible words coming from the mouth of an old man, even though he is a legendary wizard who has existed for thousands of years.
Eli's mind was greatly shocked. The Slytherin from thousands of years ago, the God of Death who controlled life and death, and the basilisk turned out to be Slytherin himself?
It seemed like that thing was almost cooked by him...
Eli carefully distanced himself from him, fearing that the old man would suddenly say he wanted revenge.
Slytherin noticed Eli's actions. He seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts. "Hey, kid, is it possible that I can come to you for revenge because you killed my body?" "No
... "No."
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Forget it, don't worry. My soul has been trapped in that body for too long. Now that you let me out, it can be considered a good thing. But I will stay at your place from now on, there is no room fee."
"Hmm...huh? What? Stay with me? Where?"
Eli's face was full of questions, and Slytherin's words made him confused.
"Of course it exists in your dimension. I didn't expect that someone could give birth to a trance. It's incredible!"
Slytherin looked around and marveled.
"Illusion? Isn't this my soul space?"
"It can also be regarded as your soul space. This is also the destination of all lost souls. You cannot move forward or backward. This is also the realm of the God of Death." Slytherin looked at it
deeply Eli glanced.
"I will always exist here, and even the God of Death can't find me. If you encounter anything, just come to me and I will help you solve it." At
this time, Slytherin was like a big brother who vowed to protect him. See De Eli's mouth twitched.
But now he also has a grandfather?
"Don't always act like you haven't seen the world. As my heir, you have to be a little magnanimous." "
Heir? Me?"
Eli was completely confused now. Why did I suddenly become the heir?
Am I not from the Potter family?
Could it be that...
Eli felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Snap, Slytherin slapped Eli on the head.
"What are you thinking? You have no blood relationship with me at all."
"Then why..."
"Do you think my heir must be my descendant? Anyone who meets the requirements can become an heir, like that brat named Tom. , actually split his soul to create Horcruxes because he was afraid of death. I can feel that he is already under the control of Death. Such a person is not worthy of being my heir!" Slytherin looked disdainful when he mentioned Voldemort
.
"Then why do you want to say that after opening the secret room, you will come out and kill all the non-pure bloods?" "
I do not discriminate against non-pure bloods. On the contrary, non-pure bloods often have great talents. If you ask me why I want to target them, it starts from Talking about it back then. At that time, the Holy See had been hunting wizards. Originally, ordinary humans had no power to fight against wizards, but until some Muggle-born wizards appeared, they were loyal to the Holy See and hostile to wizards." "When we established Hogwarts
, It was just to leave a pure land for wizards, but some Muggle-born wizards got in. They spied on information and cooperated inside and outside, causing us great losses. Therefore, when I completely transformed into a basilisk, as long as someone opens the secret room, , it means that when Hogwarts is in crisis, I will come out to protect my school!"
Slytherin's words made Eli in awe, but he then thought again, "Then why did you attack those innocent classmates? "
Pa, Eli received another slap.
"I told you, my soul has been hiding. This body acts purely on instinct!" "
Okay, you go, I want to rest."
Eli was speechless for a while, it is obviously my soul space, you Make it look like your home.
"By the way, Godric's guys should be about the same as me. If you have a chance, look for them and ask them to come and keep me company. I'll give you something by the way. It can be regarded as a gift from the heir." Slytherin
also Without saying what it was, with a wave of his hand, Eli felt himself retreat instantly and his consciousness returned to his body.
