Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

However, Riddle's face was full of confusion at this time, with two thick dark circles under his eyes.

"No, no... It's not this either, none of them, none of them..."

He sat among a pile of messy books, constantly searching through them, looking like a madman.

Lycos walked closer and saw some of the books in the pile with the following words written on their covers: "The Origin and Tracing of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans", "The Succession of Pure-Blood Families in the British Magical World", "The Record Book of Pure-Blood Families"...

"Ever since I came to Hogwarts, I've always thought that I had such a talent and that my father must be a very great wizard."

Seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle appeared beside Lycos again, telling his own story like a narrator.

"I think my father just grabbed a Muggle woman to satisfy his lust, and then abandoned her, forcing me to be born in an orphanage... because the people in the orphanage once told me that my mother died after giving birth to me."

"I have always believed that wizards are great, magical, and omnipotent... My mother died miserably in the Muggle world. She could never be a wizard."

"But I looked through all those pure-blood lists and couldn't find the last name Riddle. Then I realized I was wrong..."

The scene in front of Lycos continued to play.

When fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle was about to go crazy, he suddenly found a name in a book called "House of Gaunt: Descendants of the Great Slytherin" -

Marvolo Gaunt.

"Marvolo, isn't that...?" Riddle's pupils shrank slightly.

Riddle's full name is Tom Marvolo Gaunt.

He immediately opened the book and carefully read the characteristics, magical talents, origins and history of the Gaunt family.

"I found Parseltongue, a trait passed down from Slytherin, in that book," seventeen-year-old Riddle said softly. "Then I realized I'm a descendant of Slytherin."

The picture froze again.

"Then I went to the Riddle family's old house and found my father... He was just a cowardly Muggle." Riddle said, "Of course I can't use the name of my dirty Muggle father for the rest of my life."

"You know, in my veins flows the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself, passed down to me through his daughter! How could I still keep that disgusting, common Muggle name?"

"So I chose a new name for myself - Voldemort! I know that one day, when I become the greatest wizard in the world, no wizard will dare to say this name easily!"

Riddle laughed, a wild laugh.

"Lycos, it was Slytherin's last wish to eliminate those mudbloods. How could I not obey it?" He laughed. "As for those who humiliated me, they didn't even see my noble blood! I have already given them the punishment they deserved!"

Lycos's frown deepened.

Tom Riddle seemed to have become a little sick... He was bullied by pure-bloods, and attributed it all to the problem of his impure blood. So he tried his best to find evidence that he had wizard blood.

After finding the evidence, instead of speaking out for the Muggle-borns who were also bullied, he quickly integrated into the pure-blood circle and brought up a new force.

That's the earliest Death Eater!

"Lex Hayden—"

Just then, Riddle's call interrupted Lekos's thoughts.

Lycos subconsciously turned his head and saw Riddle's meaningful eyes.

"So how long are you going to delay this?"

"When are we going to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets to fulfill his legacy?"

……

Chapter 135 Weeping Myrtle

Is it really hard to fool someone?

Lycos' heart moved slightly, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he looked calm and composed.

In the more than one month since the start of school, he verbally promised Riddle that he would go to the Chamber of Secrets to release the basilisk and complete the so-called "Plan to Cleanse the Dirty Bloodline", and stole many of the magic recorded in the diary.

However, Lecos only wanted to learn magic, and he didn't want to become a terrorist who caused destruction!

Although the basilisk is a powerful 5X-level magical beast that looks huge and scary, it also has its fatal weakness -

Afraid of birds.

As a monster hatched from an egg, the basilisk is naturally afraid of the crowing of chickens; not only that, it is no match for the phoenix and in the original book, its eyes were easily pecked out by Fawkes.

He couldn't even defeat Dumbledore's little pet, let alone let the basilisk deal with Dumbledore.

I really don't know where Riddle got the courage to use a mere basilisk to wreak havoc in Hogwarts...

"Not yet," Lycos said softly, "We could easily be exposed to Dumbledore... You know very well that the Basilisk is no match for him."

"Tsk, it's not the right time again, it's always not the right time!" Riddle's eyes were full of impatience. "Then when will it be the right time? After Dumbledore has completely discovered Albania's secret?"

"I've been keeping an eye on Dumbledore's movements. The old headmaster's attention is still in the school." Lycos said, "We need to wait until the headmaster leaves the school, and then use a terrorist attack to lure him back..."

"Lex, don't forget, you're just a second-year student!" Riddle said coldly, "What makes you think you can confirm Dumbledore's movements? Just based on whether he goes to the Great Hall for dinner every day?"

"Tom, you worry too much."

Lycos remained expressionless and just shook his head slightly.

"I'm not alone... The Dark Lord has a loyal subordinate who is now the Potions Professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Slytherin."

Tom Riddle's tone paused and he turned his head away angrily.

He always felt that the attitude of this little wizard, who looked about 60% like himself, was not quite right, as if he didn't want to release the basilisk... But Lecos's reasons were always very convincing, and he always left him speechless.

It’s not that Riddle has no brains, it’s just that he has no information channels. All the known information comes from Lecos.

For this reason, Riddle had no way to refute Lecos in his own way and could only be controlled by him.

Today, they finally got an opportunity - because Lecos wanted to know some things about the past, Riddle used the little power he had recovered to bring him into the past.

Riddle intends to use Lex's attitude towards the past to see his true psychology -

Sure enough, when Lycos saw what happened in the past, he became curious about why Riddle was so obsessed with bloodline, which increased Riddle's suspicion.

As a Death Eater, shouldn't you consider purifying the wizarding bloodline your life's goal?

What makes you question me?

……

at the same time.

Lycos looked at Riddle's expression and felt his doubt about himself from his resentful attitude.

Can't we just fleece the sheep without giving them any benefits?

The unicorn's blood, which contained the breath of life, could no longer satisfy Riddle. Now he wanted only one thing -

That is to release the basilisk.

This goal was engraved directly into the Horcrux diary by Voldemort from the day he first created the Horcrux.

So there was no way Riddle didn't care.

Lycos frowned and exhaled imperceptibly.

That being the case...

"Although it's not time yet, we can start preparing." He said softly, "I can help you open the Chamber of Secrets and familiarize you with the castle with the basilisk first."

"When we officially launch our operation, we must ensure we hit the target with one strike, then evacuate quickly to eliminate any risk of being discovered!"

Tom Riddle was startled and turned around in surprise.

He couldn't help but start to doubt his own judgment...

Could it be that I thought wrong?

……

As the frozen image in front of my eyes rotated, the surroundings became pitch black.

Lycos felt a sense of weightlessness, and then with a "boom" he exited the world in the diary.

He took a few steps back, opened his eyes, and saw that he was still in the Room of Requirement, with the diary still open on the table before him...

"let's go."

A line of ink slowly emerged on the open page.

Under Riddle's guidance, Lecos walked all the way to an abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor.

A rotten wooden sign with a broken corner and the word "OUT OF WARNING" written on it in large letters hung at an angle on a rusty brass knob.

Judging from the degree of decay of the wooden sign, this girls' bathroom has been abandoned for many years. No one knows why no one repaired it and left it to remain in this busy corridor on the second floor.

Lycos frowned slightly.

Even though this bathroom had been abandoned for years, it was still a girls' bathroom after all, and it would be hard to explain if someone saw me sneaking in...

He looked around cautiously a few times, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he pushed open the dirty door and walked into the bathroom.

Unlike the other bathrooms at Hogwarts, this abandoned bathroom was a rather dark and dreary place.

Beneath a large, stained, cracked mirror stood a row of crumbling stone basins, and the damp floor, dimly lit by a few candles burning low in their holders, cast a grim light.

The wooden doors of the individual rooms had peeling paint and were covered with scratches; one door had come off its hinges and was hanging there precariously.

“I’m here, what do I do next?”
