Chapter 958 [Chapter 5] 43
Liu Quan gave him a sideways look, with a fearless expression written all over his face.
In fact, she was very nervous.When she was pushed into this hall by Bellatrix, the fear and terror in her heart burned to the highest point in an instant.She had to use the only cheat skill she had acquired in this world-Ultimate Occlumency to counter the Legilimency that Voldemort might cast on her.
This skill is very useful.After she uses it, she can fill her brain with false, carefully modified memories to deal with advanced Legilimency.Voldemort would never have seen anything wrong.
But even if she has the consciousness of mortal death, she still panics when facing the ultimate dark devil in the book.Especially when she was surrounded by senior Death Eaters, even seeing the man she'd stormed out of Hogwarts castle to see again at all costs didn't make her feel any better.
But when Voldemort sent away the other Death Eaters, only leaving her here, who was about to die in his eyes, and Severus Snape followed the plot trajectory in the original book and the movie, and began that fatal period. During the conversation, her fear quickly turned into desperate recklessness and courage.
Watching the scene up close put her nerves to the test.For a while she couldn't even believe she could take it.Seeing the black-robed wizard who always maliciously ridiculed everything in the world, who would rather be misunderstood than be appreciated, with a pale complexion, carefully answering every word of Voldemort, she really felt for the first time, What kind of difficult and dangerous life he has spent in the past ten years, like facing an abyss.
He is always walking on the edge of the cliff, preferring to be hated by others, not caring about his own reputation and life, thinking that in this way he can atone for his past sins.
But at that moment, she saw clearly his expression, his hidden true feelings.After all, he was a bit unwilling, and that unwillingness may not be because he was about to die, but because he died before he saw the dawn of victory—the motive and purpose of Harry Potter’s sudden return to Hogwarts are unknown ; and the Horcruxes have not been destroyed; a large number of Death Eaters are besieging Hogwarts and have not yet been destroyed; Dumbledore asked him to tell the truth when the snake Nagini was magically protected by Voldemort Harry Potter's task has not been completed; the Dark Lord has issued a death order to Hogwarts, asking them to hand over Harry Potter within a time limit; I don't know if the teachers and students who stayed at Hogwarts and other helpers who came to help To be able to defend Hogwarts from being captured...
He has so many unfinished worries and responsibilities that he doesn't want to die right now.Even though he had died thousands of times at this moment in the reincarnation of thousands of stories that he didn't remember or know in the past, when he came back again, there was still a short moment of expression on his face. A light of longing for vitality.
And that's enough.Liu Quan thought, that means she didn't work hard for it in vain.Finally, once, what she can do for him is what he cares about.
"What you said is exactly what I want to say to you, Mr. Riddle!" She retorted recklessly and fearlessly, and sure enough, she saw Voldemort's ugly, dead gray snake face contorted for a moment, It seemed that it was unbearable for him to be called by that Muggle surname again.He stared at her with blood-red vertical eyes, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, grinning hissingly, as cold and complacent as a poisonous snake locked on his next victim.
"Nagini." Voldemort's voice was as soft as a whisper.
Liu Quan took a deep breath, acting as if he had suddenly realized the cruel torture he was about to face, and couldn't help being very afraid of the big snake Nagini.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Voldemort glanced at her, seemed satisfied with her reaction, and suddenly switched to Parseltongue, hissing a long string.
Liu Quan couldn't understand, but she thought that he was assigning tasks to Nagini, how to kill her when, where, and how - after all, the simple word "kill" can't be used no matter how complicated the snake language is. Such a long string of pronunciations.
It seems that Voldemort did not intend to use Nagini to kill her instantly here as in the movie.Or he was going to put her through some more torture before she died, as he had been going to do to her all this year.Nothing that the Dark Lord intends to do can ever be discounted, even if it is to make people die.
Liu Quan stared at Nagini, who was squatting in front of him, hissing out the blood-red snake letter, slowly straightened his back, faced it with a brave and fearless attitude, and said: "...I am ready To accept my ultimate fate like a true Gryffindor. If my sacrifice buys Hogwarts and Harry Potter a little more time, then I didn't die in vain—”
Voldemort had a clear expression of "it really is because of this" on his face.He seemed relieved, raised his chin slightly towards a door in the corner of the hall, and said in a frighteningly soft voice: "Gryffindors are always so disgusting... from before to now That's right! But you won't be fighting for that Potter any longer—" His eyes suddenly turned to Snape, and he said softly, "Severus, since you two are old acquaintances, why don't you Take her to that room over there and let Nagini play with her for a while?"
Snape's face was pale and rigid, as if wearing a plaster mask.He nodded stiffly and bent mechanically towards Voldemort.
"Yes, Master." He replied simply, turning around, and finally stood facing Liu Quan for the first time since she stepped into the Great Hall of the Malfoy Manor; but his eyes seemed to be elsewhere , as if he couldn't bear to see her himself.
And the situation seemed to amuse Voldemort.He chuckled, and a new tormenting idea popped into his mind.
"Oh, Severus, I'm not an unkind person - I allow you to say goodbye to your longtime friend."
Snape was silent for a long time - maybe only a minute, but in the halls of the Malfoy Manor, in front of Voldemort, the silence was as long and clear as a lifetime - and then, with his usual sarcasm "Do you still believe in that naive, stupid, Gryffindorian Pollyanna nonsense?"
Liu Quan paused first, and after a while, her lowered eyes suddenly flickered.Then she raised her head slowly, looking directly at Snape's expressionless face, a bright and clear smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Of course," she replied quite simply, "I absolutely believe it. Even more sure of it than ever—"
She suddenly looked back at Voldemort who was sitting on the main seat, and said word by word: "Everything will be fine. One day, everything will be fine."
And that line seemed to amuse Voldemort.He glanced at Snape pretentiously, and said courteously, "Severus, what are you waiting for? Why don't you lead the way for this Gryffindor? Show your identity as a Slytherin, and we have to have a good time." Treat our guest—the guest we've been looking for a long, long time."
Snape raised his pale face, looked back at Voldemort calmly with empty eyes, and said obediently, "Yes, everything is at your command, master."
When he drew his wand and pointed at Willow, forcing Willow to walk across the corner of the hall, Voldemort added another word behind them.
"Severus, before your old acquaintance goes in to play with Nagini, why don't you let her know how proficient you are with the Cruciatus Curse?"
Snape originally walked slowly, as if he was full of vigilance and hatred to guard against Lily Evans, the "evil Mudblood" - when he heard this order, his steps slowly stopped down, then half turned and bowed to Voldemort.
"Yes, my master."
He and Liu Quan walked outside the door slowly.After pausing for a second, Liu Quan took the initiative to reach out and put his hand on the handle of the door. With a little force, the door opened with a "squeak".
Voldemort's pet snake, Nagini, slid silently into the room from her feet, and entrenched in the center of the room, spitting snake letters in a demonstration to her.
Snape clenched the wand in his hand, and after only a few seconds of silence, he pointed at Liu Quan and shouted hoarsely, "Crucio!"
Liu Quan collapsed forward almost immediately, narrowly missing him.He pushed her in disgust, and at the same time he took a step back; Liu Quan fell on the ground under his feet, gritting his teeth tightly, not letting the unbearable cry of pain escape from his mouth.Her lip was quickly bitten open, and a trail of blood ran down her jaw.The uneven broken part of the wand in the sleeve pierced into her palm, and she relied on the pain in her flesh to force herself to concentrate a little so as not to be affected by the great torture and pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse.
I don't know how long this long agony lasted - maybe a century, maybe just a few minutes - Voldemort was finally satisfied.He ordered Snape to stop the spell, and shoved "that loathsome and filthy Mudblood" into the room "to be alone with Nagini for a while".
Snape was silent and did as he did.When he closed the door and stopped in front of the door for a few seconds, but failed to hear any sound from behind the door, his face became even paler; then, his face was expressionless, like a Slowly walking back in front of Voldemort like a log, he lowered his head slightly, as if expressing full respect and submission.
Voldemort glanced at him, smiled haughtily and ironically, and said, "Oh, Severus, I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Snape bowed his head deeply and respectfully, and replied: "Oh, my lord, it's nothing...in fact, I want to thank you. I thought that Slytherin's friendship could not be used .This woman deserves the punishment she deserves..."
Voldemort looked satisfied. He smiled at Snape and said, "Very well, my faithful servant. You have made the right choice. You know, I thought you had a lot of affection for her—"
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden clattering sound of furniture being overturned behind the closed door, followed by a woman's scream. "ah--!"
The room fell into silence for a moment.But the scream seemed to be interrupted before it was finished, and then the door became silent again.
