Chapter 347 Intrigue and deception
James and others found a place to hide, but no matter how they hid, it was actually of no use.

Because Harry was releasing the scent of Voldemort's soul fragment in his brain.

"Quirrel?" Dumbledore also felt that the atmosphere on the battlefield was a little strange. He looked at Voldemort and Riddle vigilantly, and quietly took a few steps towards Quirrell.

"Dumbledore, the situation is a bit bad." Quirrell did not disguise his voice and said directly: "Another Horcrux has come in, at the entrance of the cave."

"And I am sure this Horcrux is not Nagini. I have never seen such a scent before."

Dumbledore was shocked and wondered why such important information was not silenced.

But he quickly realized that among the four people at the scene, he was the only one who didn't know this information, so there was really no need to silence them.

"Why is there another one? There are only six Horcruxes." Dumbledore looked at Quirrell, wanting an explanation.

"I don't know either, but I can see that they don't know either."

"Don't you know, or don't want to say?" Voldemort suddenly interrupted.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Quirrell had not lied to him, and they really did not know that there was another Horcrux.

Tom Riddle cursed inwardly, "Idiot."

Keeping silent and letting suspicion ferment naturally is the best way to deal with an old fox like Dumbledore.

Voldemort's self-righteous instigation made Dumbledore trust Quirrell even more.

But Riddle couldn't say anything.

After all, people like Voldemort who only have strength and rarely use their brains just need to act recklessly, while people like him who fight for the wizarding world have to consider a lot of things.

"Mr. Voldemort, I feel like there's a rift between the two of them." Tom used silencing magic to have a private chat with Voldemort.

"If we split into two groups, we will definitely be able to get one of the Horcruxes."

"Do you want one too?" Voldemort immediately looked at Riddle with a vigilant look.

"Yes, that's fair, isn't it?" Tom shrugged and said with a relaxed look, "You swallowed two Horcruxes, and you hid Nagini well. Even if you give me one, I can't beat you."

"I am very excited, Riddle." Voldemort licked his lips and asked, "So, which one do you want?"

Voldemort quietly tightened his grip on his wand, waiting for Tom's answer.

"You decide, I can do it."

Voldemort loosened his grip slightly, rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "I'll go see what the new Horcrux is. This one is for you!"

He had a good idea. This pendant box could tie Tom here, so that Dumbledore and Quirrell couldn't take care of him.

Just swallow the new Horcrux yourself and then go back to swallow Nagini.

By then, even Quirrell, Dumbledore and Tom together would not be his match!
"No problem." Tom's mind worked faster than Voldemort's.

He knew why Voldemort made this decision and quickly came up with a solution.

Anyway, his strength has not improved at all, so the Horcrux is dispensable to him.

Therefore, as long as Voldemort made any move, he would give up the pendant box at the first moment, then step aside and watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Tom believed that Dumbledore and Quirrell would never allow Voldemort to devour the new Horcrux.

Moreover, if Voldemort had any brains, he would have retreated first and then devoured Nagini.

In this way, Voldemort's strength growth is limited, and he can only barely fight against Dumbledore and Quirrell.

Tom himself is still that important neutral person, and the wizarding world can still be easily confused by him.

Tom and Voldemort smiled at each other, and both felt that each was the other's lovely angel.

Dumbledore and Quirrell looked at each other silently, and then they tacitly split up into two groups.

Quirrell Disapparated from where he was.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and blue light shot out from the tip of the wand and headed straight for the Slytherin pendant box.

But the next moment, the blue light was interrupted by Tom's spell of equal power.

"Don't be impatient, Dumbledore. This Horcrux cannot be handed over to you to deal with just yet." Tom said meaningfully.

And at the moment when Tom cast the spell, Voldemort had already Apparated to the location of the "new Horcrux".

The next moment, Quirrell also stepped out from the void ten meters away from Harry and his group.

Sirius and the Potters noticed something was wrong and immediately protected Harry behind them.

Snape took two steps outward, forming a horn with them. Standing in this position, Snape could not only take care of Harry, but also take care of Lily. At the same time, the other three could also provide him with timely assistance.

"Harry!?" Quirrell said in disbelief.

Just as he was shocked, a green light came over, and Quirrell only had time to cast a high-level protective spell before being knocked away.

Voldemort looked at Harry excitedly.

Fate seemed to have bent his life trajectory into a circle.

Voldemort had a premonition: if he killed and devoured Harry this time, he would surpass his former peak and reach a new realm.

But if it fails -

Voldemort would never believe that he could fall for a child twice!
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort cast the curse, targeting the Potters.

The green light of the Killing Curse made his smile look particularly hideous. It was as if time had gone back to the night Harry was born, and Voldemort once again chose to crush the person in front of him first.

But this time, those who didn't arrive arrived, and those who shirked their responsibilities also took up the responsibility of protecting Harry.

The Potters are not alone.

"Split into pieces!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Weapons of destruction!"

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

Four spells blocked Voldemort's attack, then rebounded it to the side, blowing the rock where Harry and his gang were hiding to pieces.

Voldemort dodged the flying stones and made a slightly unhappy "tsk" sound.

After the two ants were resurrected, they were still two ants.

But three ants plus a poisonous snake are not easy to deal with.

What's more, there is a lion watching nearby.

Quirrell stood up again. He had been careless just now and let Voldemort take the first move.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, otherwise Harry and others would be in "danger".

At this moment, the situation suddenly came to a standstill.

Although Tom Riddle was somewhat surprised by the fact that Harry was a Horcrux, he was more pleased with the current situation where he could stir up trouble at will.

Dumbledore's pupils shrank slightly and he felt quite uneasy.

He only had a slight guess to know that Harry was a Horcrux.

As for whether the Potters were really resurrected, Dumbledore didn't care, even though there was a possibility that his own sister could be resurrected.

He just felt that it was difficult to deal with Harry's Horcrux. Whether it was destroyed directly or by other means, it was too tricky.

This is Dumbledore, a wizard who values ​​the order of the wizarding world more than personal feelings.

"Mr. Snape, Mr. Black, why did you bring Harry here?" Quirrell asked, staring at Voldemort.

"Harry said there was something calling him in his head, and we want to solve this problem." Snape frowned, then asked, "Professor Quirrell, how did you find us?"

"Our actions should be absolutely covert."

Quirrell looked at Harry with a complicated expression and replied in a low voice, "I didn't know it was you who came, and I didn't expect Harry to be in this state."

"What do you mean?" Snape had a bad guess in his mind.

"You guys go quickly, I will cover you." Quirrell shook his head and did not answer, but raised his wand firmly and pointed it at Voldemort.

Sirius frowned and said unhappily: "You must know something, tell us quickly, and we will leave if you tell us!"

Quirrell just shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. If I tell you, the thing in Harry's mind might awaken."

Seeing that the Potters and Sirius still had doubts on their faces, Quirrell said anxiously: "Believe me, it is definitely not a good thing to say it. Believe me!"

"You--" Sirius wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Snape.

"Listen to him and let's go!" After hearing Quirrell's words, Snape felt heavy and panicked.

His face was full of anxiety. Facing the Potters' gazes, he said quickly, "I'll explain to you later. Now we have to leave quickly!"

"Go?" Voldemort smiled sinisterly and said, "Where do you want to take my Horcrux?"
