Chapter 482: Am I Voldemort's eighth Horcrux?
"It's getting foggy?"

Zatanna looked outside the farm with a puzzled look, frowned and said, "I remember the weather forecast for Smallville tonight is sunny."

Persephone, who had been silent, walked to the door and opened it, and mist immediately poured in from outside.

Unable to help but shiver, Persephone said to Peter: "Peter, this doesn't seem to be an ordinary fog."

"I know."

Peter nodded, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and said to the two of them, "Wait here, I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll be with you."

Persephone was worried about Peter, so she took a flashlight and followed him outside.

Although Persephone is a transparent character on the farm and rarely speaks, her feelings for Peter and Raven are no less.

Raven and Peter rescued her from the underworld and took her in, which she was always grateful for.

Peter didn't refuse and asked Zatanna to wait in the room. He and Persephone came to the station outside the farm gate together.

The fog was especially thick at the station, and even the light from Persephone's raised flashlight could not penetrate it.

She saw two beams of light coming from afar in the shadows.

It seemed to be the light from the headlights of a moving car, dispelling the thick fog.

As Peter looked in astonishment, the roar of a car engine came towards him, followed by a yellow double-decker school bus emerging from the fog.

The unmanned school bus, with no driver in the driver's seat, squeaked to a stop in front of Peter.

Persephone was also stunned by the school bus that suddenly appeared in the fog.

As far as she knew, no car had ever stopped at this bus stop that suddenly appeared on the farm before.

Now a strange school bus appeared in the fog, and she immediately cast a vigilant look over it.

The school bus stopped at the farm gate, and half a minute later, the door slowly opened.

The next second, Tom Riddle, carrying a backpack, got out of the car in a daze.

After jumping from the car to the ground, his eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Peter standing at the door.

"gentlemen!"

Tom Riddle's anxious heart finally settled down after he saw Peter.

"Tom?"

Peter was not too surprised when he saw that the person coming was Tom Riddle.

It turns out that the sixth "father-worried person" is this kid!

But that's normal. If it wasn't Tom Riddle, this guy probably wouldn't have easily entered his dream.

What Peter found strange was how the system sent the other party here?

After all, the opponent is not like A-Zu and Loki who were in their previous infant state and had no ability to resist.

"Tom, how did you get here?"

Peter asked him confused.

Tom Riddle came over, put down the backpack that was stuffed on his shoulders, suppressed his excitement, and said to Peter: "I don't know, sir, I heard from Mrs. Cole this morning that someone adopted me."

He was equally confused and recalled the incredible scene he had experienced in the morning.

"I wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Cole said the adoptive name was Peter Patrick, which is your name, sir. Then I prepared my things. Although it was a little unbelievable, I really thought you were going to adopt me."

“Afterwards, a car stopped in front of the orphanage and I got on the school bus only to find out there was no driver.”

He looked at Peter with curious eyes, "Sir, is this the car you sent? I know you have powerful magical attainments, so it is not difficult for you to achieve this kind of thing."

Looking at Tom Riddle's admiring eyes, Peter remained silent.

Can he say that it was the system's fault?
Taking a deep breath, Peter wanted to say something else, but suddenly he felt a slight dizziness.

A huge amount of information suddenly flooded into his mind.

Just like the previous times when the "Father's Sorrow" descended, the system still forced the information into his mind this time.

Pressing his forehead with his hand, Peter quickly figured out the bus stop and the purpose of the school bus, as well as the information related to Tom Riddle.

The school bus and the bus stop were used as he had guessed. One could use the school bus to travel freely in and out of the Hogwarts wizarding world.

And the right to use the school bus is limited to him.

Peter looked down at his palm and saw a wooden clipboard appear in his hand.

Behind the words "Destination" on the clipboard, write down any place in the wizarding world you want to go to, and the school bus will take you there quickly.

Ignoring the limitations of spatial distance and dimensional space, the school bus can be sent to any location in the Hogwarts world at will. In a sense, this school bus should be considered an extraordinary artifact.

With these two school buses, it is no longer difficult to send Raven, Loki, and even Tom Riddle to Hogwarts to "study abroad".

Looking up at the double-decker school bus, Peter narrowed his eyes.

This time the system was unusually generous. In addition to giving him a magic car, it also gave him a large sum of money - 60,000 gold galleons stored in Gringotts Bank in the Hogwarts wizarding world.

As far as Peter knew, the exchange rate in the Hogwarts world was 27 copper knuts for 1 silver Sickle, and 17 silver Sickles for 1 gold galleon. As for the purchasing power of gold galleons, when Harry Potter first met Ron in his first year, he used one gold galleon to buy all the snacks on the train, regardless of their price.

Ron only brought a rice ball, which meant that his pocket money for the entire semester was just a few silver Sickles.

With 60,000 gold Galleons, he could be considered one of the richest people in the world at Hogwarts.

If you have this money, you can even get dragons and phoenixes in the magical world.

Peter, with mixed feelings, looked at Tom.

Without doing anything, he became a rich man in the magical world, and he also had enough money to pay for Raven and Loki to study abroad.

This time the system is more generous than last time.

The last time Mark came, the system only gave him two science fiction books that were not of much value.

Peter remembered the "gift packages" that came with those naughty kids.

When Azu came, the system gave him the ability to become a superhuman and immortal, Star-Lord gave him the power of a god, Loki gave him the world tree, Raven gave him the ability to teleport across dimensions, and Mark gave him two science fiction books.

In comparison, Tom's "gift package" should be considered quite good.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Seeing Peter silent for a long time, Tom Riddle asked him nervously.

He was worried that Peter would go back on his word and the dream he had always longed for would collapse.

"No, I'm fine, just remembering something else."

Peter smiled at him and said, "It's foggy outside, let's go inside."

Patting the other's shoulder, Peter took the bag off his shoulder and entered the farm with Persephone.

Seeing that Peter didn't show any impatience, Tom's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

He was even worried that the school bus was not sent by Peter.

Walking to the farm with Peter, Tom Riddle seemed to be able to feel that he and Peter had established an indescribable deep connection.

That is not an illusion caused by ordinary mental excitement or agitation, but a relationship established between each other at the soul level.

This made him feel closer to and more trusting of Peter.

Peter didn't know what Tom was thinking at the moment, but he could feel the spiritual connection between the two.

He frowned slightly, knowing why he felt this way.

The last time Riven came, although his daughter's body was not born of his blood, part of her soul was inherited from him.

The part of his soul that was lost from his body was inherited by Riven.

In order to curb the opponent's overly powerful and uncontrollable power, the system forced to leave part of its soul to its daughter.

No matter whether the other party is reincarnated or reborn, this part of the soul will always be deeply rooted in Riven's body.

Similar to Riven, when Tom arrived this time, the system placed part of his soul into its own body.

As for the purpose of the system, Peter guessed that it was either to create a soul contract or to make up for the defects of Tom's soul that were created by the aphrodisiac.

Because Tom's soul is in his body, the two of them have a sense of closeness and trust.

Peter silently gave the system a middle finger for its self-willed behavior.

After Tom turned into Voldemort, he created seven Horcruxes and placed his soul in them.

If his main soul is destroyed, he can be resurrected with the help of the soul fragments in the Horcrux, thus achieving immortality in a sense.

In the original world line, this guy has been obsessed with the creation of Horcruxes since 1943.

Peter remembered that in his sixth year, he found Slughorn, the professor of Potions at Hogwarts at the time, and learned the possibility of creating a large number of Horcruxes. So he split his soul into seven parts and created six Horcruxes.

As for the seventh Horcrux, it is Harry Potter himself.

Due to the prophecy, when he tried to kill Harry Potter's mother, Lily Potter, the curse rebounded and hit him, causing a fragment of his soul to attach to Harry, thus causing Harry to become Voldemort's seventh Horcrux.

Now that part of Tom's soul is in my body, doesn't that mean I have become his Horcrux as well?

Thinking of this, Peter fell into deep thought.

What if Tom turns evil in the future, and a savior pops up to destroy his Horcrux fragments, will he have to kill himself?

Peter raised his head and looked at Tom, who was trying his best to behave like a gentleman but still couldn't hide his inner excitement, and shook his head slightly.

No, since he adopted the other person, he naturally would not follow the original path.

living room.

Zatanna looked in surprise at the thin and handsome boy who greeted her, and it took her a while to react.

"Peter, you said he was your other son?"

"Yes."

Peter put his hand on Tom's shoulder, stood behind him and said, "I adopted Tom. Now we should be considered a family."
