Chapter 933 [Chapter 5] 19
Snape turned sharply.After seeing her calm expression, he seemed a little irritable and turned to the operating table again.As if to cover up the complex emotions he was obviously showing, he chose to pick up a small silver knife and began to process the potion ingredients.
Liu Quan waited for a few minutes, but did not hear Snape's answer.So she raised her head, only to see him with his back turned to her, as if he was busy with something at the other end of the console.
"And that person, I think you must know him too?" She said calmly, watching Snape's tall and thin back.
Snape's hand, which had been busy sorting potion ingredients, paused for a moment, then moved again.But she noticed that his hand strength seemed to be much heavier, and he had already squeezed three or four poor leeches so that their skins were broken and their bones were broken, making them unbearable to use.
However, Liu Quan didn't intend to stop there thoughtfully.For some reason—maybe because the appearance of Zhen Lili touched the deepest rebellion (fog!) in her heart—she just wants to provoke the nerves of this important person who has been promoted to the main line target , forcing him into a corner—perhaps this would relieve a little of the depression in her heart.
That's right.After Zhen Lili appeared, the system bacteria creaked and corrected themselves for a long time, and finally adjusted the mission strategy.
The original mainline - making sure Lily Evans survived the war - has now become a sideline.However, the original optional task - the side task of ensuring Severus Snape survived - became a must-do main task.
When Liu Quan heard the cold notification from the voice in his head, he almost didn't jump up.Even if the real Lily Evans suddenly appeared in front of her in the form of Ginny Weasley, she was never so surprised.
Still, it's no use arguing.Doing a branch line has achieved the point of knocking out the protagonist. Think about it, only the professor in HP can do it.
The strategy of adjusting the main goal is probably because of the unexpected appearance of Zhenlili.System Bacteria also said that it is because of the self-adjustment of the plot inertia of this world—to put it simply and crudely, it is because Liu Quan, the fake Lily, is too good to be compared with the heroine Lily in the original novel. It’s a bit too turbulent and killing the Quartet, so the plot inertia of this world will directly drag the real Lily back—in other words, it will be a stumbling block for Liu Quan, a top-ranking character, and drag "Lily" back. "The rating and importance of this character have returned to normal levels.
Therefore, this also shows that the character "Lily" can no longer develop sharply and wisely.She must reduce her sense of existence and involvement in the plot, keep a low profile as much as possible, and correct it only at necessary plot turning points; in addition, because there are two real and fake Lilies in this world, and then "Lily Evans" as the The main character is indeed too risky and too uncontrollable.Therefore, taking a step back and choosing Snape, who is the only branch target, to replace him is also the choice of the system bacteria in desperation.
However, before keeping a low profile, Liu Quan felt that he could finally challenge the prestige of the new mainline target.
Just like a cat who is not very obedient and will not really cross the line and cause uncontrollable consequences, let her try carefully to see where the upper limit of the plot's tolerance is.
"...she accused me of being an impostor."
While Snape remained silent, Liu Quan, who was a fake Lily, continued so calmly.
"...and swear to expose my despicable disguise."
Snape turned irritably to the cauldron on the console and lit the fire under it, as if he didn't intend to continue discussing the topic with her.
Liu Quan was a little helpless, it felt like he had punched into the cotton with a punch, and he felt a little helpless.
She also really wanted to just make this topic clear - anyway, she just wanted to ensure that he was alive after the Hogwarts final battle, and she didn't want to ensure that he got any fixed CP after the Hogwarts final battle, right.
But now his attitude of avoiding talking about it is even more terrifying than the gloomy and sharp attitude of more than ten years ago.At least at that time, she could still use the opportunity of the quarrel to express her reasons, thoughts and attitudes in one breath.Now she is like a clumsy theater actor performing a one-man show in front of the most demanding casting director. As soon as the curtain rises and the lights go down on the stage, she has no room or opportunity to express herself, and she just froze in embarrassment. Like on stage.
Moreover, only when his emotions rebounded a little more, the inertia of the plot would fluctuate accordingly, and she would be able to judge where the upper limit of tolerance is; now his rare silence is actually a big problem for her. problem.
She tried to peer into his face from the side.Yet his famous, greasy half-length black hair fell as he lowered his head, hiding his face.She can't see anything.
Liu Quan sighed silently, and decided to speak more bluntly—to be exact, straight to the point.
"Severus, what do you think about this?" she asked.
Snape seemed to be just about to raise his hand to pour some juice into the cauldron.Hearing her question, his hand suddenly paused.Fortunately, no juice had been poured into the cauldron, otherwise it was possible that the genius master of potions at Hogwarts would blow up the cauldron like never before.
Snape put down the bottle in his hands irritably, but didn't look back.He propped his hands on the console table, his wand by his side.The liquid in the crucible in front of him seemed to have been heated a little, and one or two small bubbles began to slowly bubble up on the surface of the water.
"...I don't have anything to think about." He finally answered aloud, and at the same time, he finally started to resume the previously interrupted process of making potions.He had to pick up his wand and stir the cauldron a few extra times because he hadn't done it at the right time to add a certain juice - no doubt a work of his own research.
For a few seconds, he wondered if the imposter behind him would ask something more terrifying—such as asking him "Are you glad the real Lily is back?" or "Don't you think she's right?" Are all my allegations justified?"
Ask him to—he has nothing to say at all.The real Lily is back, so does that mean her responsibilities and mistakes can be mitigated?Can she feel at ease from now on?
Dumbledore had already told him that for the sake of the overall situation, the real Lily could not get back that body—that is to say, he had to continue to put up with this impostor and continue to hold Lily's face and stand around him. Dangling around, enjoying the reputation, trust, and convenience attached to the name Lily Evans; The assumption of endlessly wrestling with this fake Lily forever is simply disturbing—
Luckily the fake Lily wasn't here to upset him for now.Taking advantage of the precious spare time, he poured armadillo bile into the cauldron.
Ok, now just wait 4 minutes, then stir clockwise——
He recited the production process silently in his heart, but before he finished thinking, he heard the voice of the fake Lily.
"She thought I was lying to you, Severus."
Snape's hand shook.It was a good thing he hadn't stuck his wand in the cauldron to stir yet.Otherwise, he would inevitably be in danger of exploding the crucible for the second time tonight.His back stiffened, and he turned his head angrily.
"I'm assuming you didn't say anything misleading to her—"
In the end, what he saw was that fake Lily raised her head and smiled slightly at him.In her hand, all kinds of potion materials have been processed neatly, and they are sorted and placed in different containers, which really looks a bit spectacular.
"Severus," she said with a smile, "isn't she concerned about you? In a way, that's a good thing."
She seemed to be saying something in his favour, but it only made him more irritable.
Snape quickly stirred, turned off the fire, lowered the cauldron, and bottled the potion in one go, before the impostor said something more challenging to others' nerves, and finished the potion.
Then he saw the impostor wave his wand, and the long list of potions preparation floating in front of her, in small gold letters, floated towards him.
"It's a potion that Albus asked to make." She explained with a smile, as if she didn't feel any pressure or guilt at all for the real Lily to return.
She looked normal. —this fact challenged his nerves even more.
Of course he knew what Dumbledore had promised her - what he didn't understand was, since her purpose was only to be a master alchemist, why she had to occupy Lily's body to do this.
She once claimed that Lily was in danger and that she had come to help her; but it turned out that she was unable to do so, and Lily was killed by the Dark Lord.
Now... For some reasons that may never be understood, Lily's real soul survived although the body of Ms. Prire Foggton, who was boarding Lily at that time, died; After weighing it, I think that fake Lily can do a better job as "Lily Evans" than the real Lily—!
This fact stung his nerves.
How ironic and ridiculous is this?
However, he can't challenge Dumbledore's decision, nor can he challenge Dumbledore's authority—since Dumbledore seems to be the only one who really knows how to deal with the Dark Lord, if he doesn't solve the Dark Lord, Lily He didn't even have a chance to get his own body back; so what he has to do now is to do his best, hoping to help Dumbledore solve this top priority as soon as possible——
He took a breath, trying to say something to counter her smug expression—at least to get that nasty smile off her face—but before he could say anything, the flames in the fireplace It went up a lot with a thud; then, Dumbledore's face emerged from there.
The author has something to say:
February 5:
I feel like I can update at zero o'clock tomorrow as scheduled!
But today I am sorry that it is a little late [.
Maybe everyone has forgotten that HP's main task at the beginning was to ask the girl to ensure that Lily survived.The professor is just a branch character, so it is an additional question, of course, if the additional question is done correctly, there will be a prize.
But now the professor has become the main task www
Everyone can speculate on what this change means [Hey!
