American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 516: Tom, you, a father-hungry person, have you really betrayed your father?

After the sink sank, a dark passage was revealed.

Riven and the others looked at the secret room that suddenly appeared in astonishment.

It's open now?
"you!"

Mark pointed his wand at Lockhart next to him, "You go down first."

Lockhart, looking pale, swallowed his saliva as he looked at the dark passage. "Well, kids, I think you should think carefully about this. I don't know how to do anything, and I might be a hindrance if I go down there. Mark, Raven, I actually have a good relationship with your father."

"Stop it!"

Mark pushed him.

"what!!"

Lockhart slid into the pipe and let out a scream before disappearing into the darkness.

After confirming that the other party was not in any danger, Mark took a deep breath and entered the pipeline second.

Then Harry, Ron and Raven entered the deep pipe one after another.

Mark slid straight down in the twisting and rotating pipe.

After gliding for a distance, he could clearly sense that he was far away from the school.

With a "bang", he heard the sound of Harry falling around the corner behind him.

After sliding for a distance, Mark fell heavily to the ground.

It was pitch black all around, with a strange and eerie atmosphere.

Lockhart, who came down first, was covered in mud and breathing heavily.

After everyone came down, Mark looked around and said to them, "I think we are far away from the school."

"I guess it's the bottom of the lake."

Riven reached out and touched the wet wall. "Anyway, be careful."

As she spoke, she took out her wand.

As she whispered the spell, a light pierced the darkness from the top of the wand.

As they walked forward, Ron lowered his head cautiously.

With the faint light, he found that what came into his sight were the skeletons of some small animals.

"vomit!"

The unbearable smell coming from the surroundings, and the thought that his sister might also end up in such a horrible way, made him want to vomit.

"Hold on, Ron, we're almost at the finish line."

Mark comforted him.

Ron took a deep breath and said to Mark, "Well, maybe you can tell me if you have encountered similar things. Give me some confidence, and I might feel better. Mark, didn't you say that your father took you through many dangerous things?"

"Uh"

Mark thought about it and glanced at Raven.

"In fact, my sister and dad have experienced more adventures. They even went to the underworld together. Raven almost became someone else's bride. If my dad hadn't rescued Raven in time, maybe something bad would have happened. I think the environment in the underworld should be worse than this. Raven should be able to cope with it."

In order to ease Ron's nervousness, Mark whispered to him the story of Raven.

"bride?!"

Hearing Mark's words, Harry and Ron both opened their mouths in astonishment.

"Shut up, snitch! If you keep saying that, I'll send you flying!"

Riven turned around and glared at this "colander" with dissatisfaction!
After being glared at by Riven, Mark immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Afterwards, they walked along another curved road, and a solid wall appeared in front of them.

The wall is carved with two snakes entwined with each other.

The black snake eyes are inlaid with sparkling emeralds.

"I suppose your Parseltongue is still necessary to open these mechanisms, Harry."

Raven turned her gaze to Harry.

Harry nodded and stepped forward.

His throat felt dry.

He took a deep breath and used his imagination to imagine that the stone snakes were real, and that their eyes came alive before him.

Then, under the gaze of several people, Harry cleared his throat.

"Turn on!"

He spoke to the building in front of him in a low and faint hissing snake-like voice.

As he spoke, the wall split in the middle and a passage appeared in front of the people.

Several people entered a fairly large stone chamber.

The space here is quite large and dimly lit, with exquisitely carved stone pythons entwined on the towering stone pillars.

Mark and Harry, feeling a little nervous, took out their wands.

Ron pointed his wand at Lohark and told him to go in front.

After walking a few steps forward, everyone saw a huge statue.

This statue, which is almost level with the roof, is quite old, with sparse long beard hanging down to the ground, and two gray legs standing on the smooth floor of the stone chamber.

And just below the stone statue, lying face down was a thin girl with red hair.

"Ginny!"

Seeing Ginny, Mark immediately ran over excitedly and hugged her.

"No! No! Ginny, wake up, please, don't die like this!"

Kneeling down and placing his wand on the ground, Mark hugged Ginny's shoulders and spoke with a trembling voice.

He could feel Ginny's face as cold as marble. Ginny closed her eyes, but luckily she didn't turn into a stone statue.

"Ginny, please wake up."

Mark, feeling extremely distressed, shook Ginny's head and called out to her in pain.

Raven came over and put her hands on Mark's shoulders.

"Mark, calm down, Ginny is still alive."

When Mark heard Raven say that Ginny was still alive, hope immediately rose in his desperate mood.

"Really? Sister."

"Of course it's true, Mark, she's still alive, but that's all."

Suddenly!

A familiar voice reached everyone's ears.

Shocked, Raven and Mark looked up and saw Tom, with an expressionless face, slowly walking out of the shadows.

"Tom?!"

The two of them had expressions of incomprehension on their faces.

Raven asked in disbelief, "Why is it you, Tom?"

Tom looked at the two of them expressionlessly, "Why, am I weird here?"

Mark saw Tom, but he didn't notice anything wrong. He shouted to him, "Tom, come here. We need to act together."

A smile appeared on Tom's lips and he nodded, "I'll be right over!"

"Fantasy power!"

The next second Tom raised his wand and shot a spell at Harry.

Harry was unable to dodge and was caught off guard and flew backwards, hitting the smooth ground with a bang.

Seeing Harry suddenly being knocked away by Tom, Mark looked at him in shock.

"What are you doing, Tom?"

"As you can see, Mark, I am helping to resolve an unrelated person that is affecting the communication between our family members."

Tom said with a still calm expression.

"Ahem.!"

Harry fell to the ground, staggering to his feet while enduring the pain.

He looked at Tom with angry eyes, "It's you! You are the real culprit behind everything! You released the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. You were there when Colin and Hermione were petrified. Hagrid told me to be careful of you, and you also know snake language. You are the real culprit behind this! Tom!"

"You almost guessed the real murderer, Harry, but it's not enough!"

Tom shook his head and said to the dark shadow behind him: "Riddle, come out."

Amid the astonished looks of the crowd, a thin, handsome, black-haired young man walked out from the shadows.

A gentle, stern-looking young man who looked extremely similar to Tom slowly walked out of the shadows.

"You guys?!"

Harry, Raven and Mark were all stunned when they saw the young man who was a replica of Tom Padrick.

Even Lockhart looked incredulous.

How can there be two Toms?!
Although the height is different, it is obvious that this is the same person.

Temperament and image will not lie.

The young man walked out of the shadows and said to Harry, "Are you surprised? Harry, we are the same person."

"How can it be?!"

"Nothing is impossible. My name is Tom M. Riddle. As for Padraic..."

The young man turned his gaze to Tom beside him and said, "Padraic's name is Tom Padraic, but you may not know that his previous name was the same as mine."

Harry listened to the other party's incredible words and looked at Raven, "What is going on?"

He didn't understand why there were two Toms.

Raven didn't say anything. She frowned and asked Tom, "Who is he?"

"It's a long story."

Tom took out a black diary. "About half a month ago, I found a diary in the bathroom. Later, I found that I could talk to the diary. It contains a soul from fifty years ago. The name of this soul is Tom Riddle, which was my name before I was adopted by my father."

"Oddly enough, I don't keep a diary like this, though."

Tom looked at Raven and said, "I think you should understand what's going on. This should be the principle of parallel worlds. If I hadn't been adopted by my father fifty years ago, I would have developed along this line of world and become Voldemort, and then been killed by a baby. Fortunately, in the parallel world, because of my father, I left the orphanage and did not become Voldemort. I lived on a farm and had a different life."

"This diary is what another me in this world wrote fifty years ago."

Riven listened to the other party's explanation and quickly understood.

"Is he a ghost?"

"Do not."

Tom shook his head. "He is a memory. A memory from fifty years ago."

Ron, who was standing next to him, was confused. He supported Harry and asked in a low voice, "What do they mean?"

Harry swallowed nervously and said, "I don't know. I guess Tom is Tom Riddle from a parallel world, but he was adopted by Mr. Padraic and changed his name."

Ron felt a wave of despair well up in his heart.

He just heard Tom say that Tom Riddle was Voldemort.

Now that the two Voldemorts have merged here, aren't they completely finished?

Tom Riddle, in diary form, looked at Raven and Mark with great interest.

"It's incredible that your father can travel through different parallel worlds. I really want to meet him."
