Chapter 55 The Truth Is Revealed
Ron collapsed to the ground like a discarded doll, his face the same color as the marble on the ground, cold and bloodless.
"Ron!" Harry hurried to his side, knelt down, and shook Ron in despair, "Ron, don't die! Please, don't die!"
"He won't wake up," said a voice softly.
Ai Wen hurriedly turned around, and he saw a tall black-haired boy leaning on the nearest stone pillar, staring at them coldly.
"Tom Riddle!" Ivan said softly, pointing his wand carefully.
"It's useless, Mudblood, it's over!" Riddle said casually, "There's only us here, no nasty guys will come to bother, and there will be no roosters! It's me who will win in the end, you guys. Will be here, like this boy, forever."
"What did you do to Ron and why did he become like this?" Harry shouted, standing up.
"That's an interesting question!" said Riddle cheerfully. "It's a long story, but since you're about to embrace death, I might as well tell you. In my opinion, the reason why Ron Weasley would The real reason it became like this was that he opened up to an invisible stranger and confided all his secrets."
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Diary!" said Riddle, "for months after my sly servant gave Ron the diary, he has been writing his heartfelt words to me, telling me of his heart-wrenching troubles and sorrows. : He is the most ordinary one in the family, his brothers and his best friends are better than him, and no one has ever paid attention to the ordinary, weak and pitiful him."
"What?" Harry hesitated.
"Harry Potter, you famous, kind, great savior, will never understand, Ron Weasley is jealous, he is jealous that you are more famous than him, jealous that you are better than him!" Del's eyes flickered slyly, "He's not even as good as a freshman, he thinks he's a worthless piece of shit."
Riddle glanced at the cautious Aiwen, and then his eyes returned to Harry's face, and there was an almost greedy look in his eyes.
"It's so boring, listening to a twelve-year-old boy talk about her childish annoyances."
He continued, "But I was patient and wrote something to answer her. I was kind and empathetic. Ron came to trust me, and he thought I was his only friend. And you, just When he's a lowly, ridiculous sidekick!"
"I didn't, I never did!" Harry was as pale as a ghost. "I didn't know Ron thought that, I always thought he was my best friend!"
"Obviously you're not!" Riddle let out a cold, harsh laugh, not like a sixteen-year-old, "After months of communication, Ron opened his whole soul to me. , and his soul happened to be exactly what I needed."
"I devoured his most secret fears, his deepest secrets, his strongest jealousies, and my appetite grew. I grew stronger, much stronger than little Mr. Weasley, strong enough to start the reverse. Control him to do what I've always wanted to do, it's all because of you..."
"Put away your ridiculous tricks that confuse people, Tom!" Ivan said coldly, "It won't work for us, when Ron wakes up, I'll beat him so hard He knows we've always regarded him as our best friend."
"Damn mudblood!" Riddle turned his head and looked at Ai Wen in disgust, "I already knew you were a trouble, when you took out that ridiculous fifty-year-old newspaper, I wanted to kill you. kill you!"
"That's exactly what you did, attacking me with the Corruption Curse at the Duel Club, what a stupid idea."
"Ron's broken wand made my magic less powerful!" Riddle snapped, "but it was a mistake of mine, you're much more cunning than I thought, I shouldn't have exposed myself so early, if Dumbledore noticed what to do, so I put an Imperius Curse on Ron."
"Let him use the Killing Curse on me, is that what you thought?"
"No, without my control, poor Ron can't do anything, it's just a little ordinary green light." Riddle said proudly, "The effect of the Imperius Curse is only to cover up the breath left by my control of him, But Dumbledore was still suspicious, but Ron did not let me down, because he was cowardly, he hid the diary from everyone, and he was afraid to let you know that he was the murderer of the attack."
Hearing Riddle's words, Ivan clenched his wand tightly, while Harry beside him clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh.
"Silly Ron doesn't seem to trust me anymore since that incident," said Riddle. "He finally got suspicious and tried to throw the diary away. Harry, how I wished you had picked it up. Diary, as I said just now, I desperately want to see you!"
"Why do you want to see me?" Harry was furious with anger and struggled to keep his tone steady.
"Oh, yes, Harry, Ron told me all about you," said Riddle. "All those terrifying and fascinating stories of yours."
His eyes flicked across the lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead, his face getting hungrier.
"I know, I have to know more about you, talk to you, and see you in person if possible." Riddle turned his eyes to Ivan again, and said disgustedly, "But I didn't expect that it would be you. This nasty mudblood picked up my diary. I tried to control you like Ron, and in order to gain your trust, I even wanted to tell you about the opening of the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, but.... .."
"Unfortunately, I have never believed in the habit of sneaking and not seeing the brains." Ivan's face was full of disdain.
"Yeah, you are indeed a wily Mudblood, and as I first thought, a big trouble."
Riddle's voice returned to calm, "I feel your alertness to me, but I found that you have an unusually strong pursuit of magical power, so I changed my mind, and I decided to slowly lure you into the addiction of power. middle."
"You failed again, Tom!" Ivan began to accumulate magic.
"Obviously, can you tell me why?" Riddle asked eagerly.
"A girl once told me that power is not absolute!" Luna's figure appeared in Ai Wen's mind, and he said firmly, "The most important thing is to believe in friendship, family, love, and the beauty of the world. Everything! Tom Riddle, you'll never be able to do that, you don't believe in anything but your own strength, and it's doomed to you."
"Love?!" Riddle froze for a moment, "It's ridiculous that you think these things are more reliable than great power, typical weak thinking. Well, let's get back to the point, I have many questions waiting for you What, Harry Potter!"
