Listen to the space-time administration

Chapter 177

Riddle Manor is in Little Hangleton, about four or five miles from here is Great Hangleton, and that is where Gaunt's old house is located.

On the way to Gaunt's old house, you will pass by Little Hangleton.This may be why the Dark Lord's mother fell in love with Tom Riddle.They are neighbors.

Riddle Manor sits in a large mansion on a hillside overlooking the cemetery and church below.

Fifty years ago, a catastrophic tragedy happened to the Riddle family. Three members of the family were killed overnight, with no murder weapon or visible scars.Frank Blythe, the gardener of the Riddle House, was questioned and arrested, and suffered half a century of criticism and imprisonment.

Frank Bryce was old when he was released from prison, and the current owner of the Riddle House offered him a job and invited him back to tend the place.

Although Frank Bryce is now proven innocent, he is still ostracized by his neighbors because of his trumped-up criminal record.The children around took the old Riddle house where the murder took place as a place for adventure and play, and while playing tricks on him, they would come here to create a little damage from time to time.

After Frank Bryce finished inspecting the cemetery, he put the kettle on the stove in the small house where he was resting. As soon as he looked up, he saw the lights of the old Riddle house on the hillside in the distance.

"What a bunch of unlucky kids!"

Frank complained, threw his gloves on the dilapidated sofa beside him, picked up the lantern that had just been extinguished, lit the light again with a match, and was about to walk towards Riddle's old house.

As the current administrator, he has to protect this place.Adventurous children don't pay attention to fire sources, and they might set the whole house on fire later.

After adjusting the brightness of the lantern, Frank tremblingly pushed open the door of his cabin, only to find that there were two more people at the door.

Frank illuminated the people in front of him with a lantern, and asked and warned: "Who are you? This is a private property next to the cemetery! If you are looking for a picnic spot and resting place, go down the hill to Little Hangleton. If you don't leave, I will Call the police!"

Luo Xia looked at the old man in front of him, and asked inexplicably, "Do you regret it?"

Frank was a little puzzled. Could there be something wrong with the person in front of him? He asked back, "What do you regret?"

"What happened at the Riddle House made you stay in prison for 50 years. After you were released from prison, you have become like this. Your youth and life have been taken away long ago. You don't regret looking for a prisoner at the Riddle House." Work?"

Frank's hand holding the lantern was a little trembling. He raised his head and said, "Son, if I regret it, I won't go to World War II! That's the beginning of my life!"

Without a direct answer, Frank just took two steps outside and slammed the dilapidated wooden door shut, but the wooden door directly broke the lock under the force of his hand.

Frank picked up the lock on the ground, stuffed it in the crack of the door and fastened the door, then turned to Rorschach and said, "Get out of here, I have to finish my work."

"No need to go, I didn't hire you to kill you..."

Rorschach's voice sounded behind Frank, the old Frank turned around, put the lantern in front of Rorschach, and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

"I haven't met you, and I haven't met the man who hired me."

Frank said the truth, he did not meet anyone in the employment process, he just got out of prison, and then received a letter in the mail, which happened to have a job.

Rorschach pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the hut, pointed to the creaking kettle on the stove, and said, "The water is boiling, let's have a cup of tea first, and I will tell you what's going on inside..."

The past tragedy of the Riddle house stemmed from the not-too-distant witch Merope Gaunt falling in love with Riddlegar's son-in-law.

A handsome but arrogant Muggle rich man, the witch Merope is only obsessed with his handsomeness and wealth, and magically makes Riddle fall in love with her.

A year after they eloped, because Merope was pregnant, she didn't want to live this false life again, so she stopped using the love potion on Riddle, and told Riddle about her identity as a wizard.Riddle abandoned Merope and the unborn child as soon as he sobered up.

Merope died at the door of Wool's Orphanage in London after giving birth to Tom Riddle Jr.

Unsurprisingly, little Tom Riddle has the talent of a wizard, successfully entered Hogwarts, and began to confuse other girls, ladies and ghosts with his appearance.

Tom went to Little Hangleton Village to find his life experience. In the dilapidated Gaunt old house, he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt and learned the news of the death of his grandfather Marvolo Gaunt.He stunned Morfin first, then went to the Riddle Mansion, and killed the Riddle family, the father who expressed disgust and hatred for Tom, with his uncle's wand.

The Ministry of Magic took Morfin, and the police in the ordinary world took Frank Bryce.

After telling the past of the Riddle House, the pot of water was almost full. After Adam refilled Rorschach's last cup, Frank also slowly put down the teacup and raised his head.

Frank looked at Rorschach seriously, and said, "If what you said is true, then who is the person in Riddle's house now?"

"The old Tom Riddle, he's back."

Frank continued: "According to your statement, the current Tom Riddle Jr. is a KB member?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"I'm going to call the police right now! You also report to that wizard policeman, and they must not be allowed to continue!"

Frank stood up in a hurry, found a few coins after rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, then picked up the lantern again, and prepared to walk to Little Hangleton down the mountain to find a public phone to call the police.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the description in the original book. Although his life was rough, Frank Bryce was a just and persistent person.

When Frank pushed the door open again, the scene outside the door changed.

Silent figures filled the surroundings, and they held magic wands and arranged various defensive magic around them.

Frank turned his head and saw Rorschach raised his teacup to him, and said, "Can you boil some more water? We may need to monitor these KB members."

Frank put down the lantern, returned to his small room, and said, "So you are the police? Have you found them and are you ready to collect the net?"

"That's right..."

After hearing this sentence, Frank began to pack his things in his hut, and Rorschach asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"After closing the net, I have to find a new job..."

"No, I will continue to hire you, just ask first, will you still shoot? People who can shoot and those who can't shoot are two kinds of treatment here."

Hearing this, Frank Bryce was a little angry. He put down the kettle heavily and threw it on the stove. He looked at Rorschach solemnly and said, "Are you doubting that a World War II veteran will forget what he learned on the battlefield?"

Rorschach didn't answer, and Adam at the side handed over a revolver.It was a World War II service pistol, the Webley .455in revolver, a sharp-edged revolver.

When he picked up the weapon, Frank's hand stopped shaking in an instant. With the familiar feeling in his memory, he unskilledly opened the cylinder and reloaded it.

This process was repeated until Frank was able to load a bullet into its cylinder with his eyes closed.

Holding the pistol in his hand, Frank asked, "Should I prove myself by shooting twice?"

"No, this is enough."

In the old Riddle house on the hillside in the distance, the current Voldemort has turned into a shriveled baby.

Bellatrix hugged Voldemort tenderly like a mother, and gently wiped the dirt off his body.

But when she turned around, Bellatrix, who was looking at Peter Pettigrew, was full of disgust. She said to Peter fiercely: "You are so picky, Wormtail! Hurry up and squeeze Nagini's venom." , if it wasn't for the master, you still live in the gutters of Azkaban! The master needs to take potions every few hours. When will those damn guys take unicorn blood, dragon blood and other magical creatures Bring back the blood!"

Peter Pettigrew curled up aside, holding the vessel in his hand, watching Nagini spray venom into it.His hands didn't dare to tremble in the slightest, for fear of being stained with this bone-eroding poison.

After finding Nagini and then Voldemort, the Death Eaters discovered that Voldemort had changed from soul to body again by relying on a spell created by himself, but now the body was extremely fragile and was in danger of dying at any time.

So at the request of Bellatrix, the other Death Eaters went to find all magic items that could prolong Voldemort's life.Only Peter Pettigrew and Bellatrix looked after Voldemort himself at the Riddle House.

And hiding in the slightly inhabited Muggle world also avoided some probes from the Ministry of Magic.The current Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are still looking for remote and uninhabited places.Darkness became a plan for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to stay alive.

After scolding Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix became a fanatical believer longing for Voldemort himself again, gently put Voldemort on the sofa beside him, and then knelt down beside Voldemort.

Bellatrix lowered her head and said, "Master, I have a big plan to announce your return to everyone!"

Voldemort, the shriveled baby, raised his decayed, pale hand and said, "Watch out for that child! Without that child, this would not be possible!"

Bellatrix crawled to Voldemort's side, gently took his hand and put it on her cheek, and said, "Don't worry, master, all the Death Eaters know that they will cooperate with little Barty to send the boy to him." To your side..."

"very good!"

With just two words, Bellatrix excitedly approached Voldemort as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and then urged and tortured Peter Pettigrew.

And their plans were also captured by the pinhole cameras arranged around them, and passed back to Rorschach.

After listening to the plan, Rorschach said to Adam at the side: "Inform Fudge, he has another chance to make meritorious deeds..."
