People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning.

Before this, Voldemort and Quirrell had never used this method.

The ink spots on the white paper will be more obvious.

So he boldly asked himself and answered his own questions.

"Is it so easy to remove Lord Voldemort's curse? You even used the power of the greatest giant Slytherin. Sure enough, when faced with the head of a recently dead wizard and an old eight-eyed giant spider, you chose the former."

"So-called kindness and love will prevent you from destroying Lucius's body and choose a gentler approach."

"How stupid!"

"You must be curious about why I would give up the power and authority of the true Slytherin heir."

“But who could have imagined that this was aimed at the younger me?”

"How long will it take you to resolve my curse of immortality?"

"After you solve this, how much energy will you have to deal with me who has obtained the Philosopher's Stone? I am really looking forward to it. The great sage Albus Dumbledore."

Chapter 81 The Curse of Immortality

Just as Voldemort said, after the sleeping curse is broken, the curse of immortality will follow.

But this is not true immortality.

Rather, it is a product of black magic similar to the Inferi.

The attacked eight-eyed giant spiders were like lifeless mechanical dolls.

Except for the wound caused by the unicorn's sacred magic.

The others all recovered after a flash of black light.

Dumbledore turned his head and looked towards the source of the spiders, the habitat of the Acromantula.

At the cost of putting other magical creatures to sleep, Slytherin's authority was linked to a powerful hypnotic force that "burned" Malfoy's body, and it did not disappear after the sleeping spell was broken.

It was more like a chain reaction of horror.

The dreamlike magical magnetic field that was merely hypnotizing their minds has now become eerie and evil.

It originated from the sunken ground covered with spider webs - the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider, and was transmitted to each eight-eyed giant spider.

At that moment, all the spiders were cursed to death.

The magnetic fields on their bodies that were originally full of vitality have also become dead.

Most of the students on the grounds had already returned to the castle.

With the defenses set up by Dumbledore, there was little point in them staying here.

But people like the Weasley twins who were keen on adventure, as well as Bagel and his group, remained where they were.

The professors in the castle gathered the students in the auditorium.

In order to avoid Hermione's mistake during Christmas, they asked the supervisors to count the number of people one by one.

They knew that someone was eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, and this person had even broken into Gringotts for this purpose.

The Christmas troll, this is probably what happened today.

According to Dumbledore's instructions, that person should also have gone to the restricted area on the fourth floor.

Snape was sent there for this very reason.

And Dumbledore's other instruction was to protect the students.

This means that the dark wizard may have other ways to buy himself time, such as through terrorist attacks.

Therefore, the plan to send the students back to the common room and station them in the three tallest towers - Ravenclaw Tower, Astronomy Tower and Gryffindor Tower, to perform magic and observe was rejected.

Instead, they chose to use the auditorium as a stronghold and build fortifications.

Professor Flitwick pointed his wand at the open castle gate and whispered a very complicated spell.

Everyone heard a strange whirring sound, as if he had released the power of wind onto the playground.

"Hogwarts is threatened!" Professor McGonagall shouted, "Guard the borders, defend us, and do your duty to the school!"

With a crash and a shout, a group of moving statues swarmed out of the auditorium, some small, some larger than life, and some animals.

The clanking suits of armor wielded swords and maces on chains.

Professor Sprout went to the greenhouse, waved his magic, and placed various dangerous magical plants on the site, such as poisonous tentacles, devil's snares, and pods of knotweed.

"Do you really have to make it this big?" Bagir looked at everything around him helplessly.

He still wants to show off.

In his vision, he would put down his wand.

He walked into the spider swarm and said, "Harry, Ron, do you remember how my parents died?"

"When I said I didn't care, it wasn't entirely because I had never seen them alive."

"Rather, that Death Eater was also killed by my father. I don't have any living enemies at all."

"In the forest, even a dying Granger is terrifying."

Then he waved his hand, and thousands of branches and silky green grass obeyed his command and attacked the spider group.

But now, he's just laying around.

Hermione, Harry, Ron, and the Weasley twins all thought the same.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gone back to the castle.

In front is Dumbledore's golden line, Flitwick's defenses are all around, statues and armor are guarding the perimeter, and various magical plants are looming in the gaps and lawns.

With such comprehensive defense and troop deployment, they even dared to set up camp and sleep here.

According to Dumbledore, it was just a cursed Acromantula.

If there was no curse, and only Dumbledore could remove it, he would probably be able to do it with a Divine Fire Curse, just like Dumbledore's lover Grindelwald could burn the whole of Paris with a Fiendfyre.

But the next second, Bagel, who had been watching Voldemort Quirrell break through the level, could no longer hold back his expression.

Narcissa is alright!!!

He heard the news of Lucius Malfoy's death, and the even more terrifying news of the undead curse.

Sure enough, Voldemort's words had just fallen.

The eight-eyed giant spiders, covered in black light, passed directly through the golden thread.

Those damaged limbs that were not burned began to automatically gather together, and the eight-eyed giant spiders reappeared one by one.

The wind in front of Bagir and the others became cruel, tearing apart the approaching spiders one by one.

Statues, suits of armor, and spiders that had been torn apart and reassembled collided with each other.

However, the poisonous plants, which should have been the most dangerous among the magical plants, posed the least threat to these dead things and could only rely on the power of their vines and branches to do some auxiliary work.

Some strange plants whose effects Bagir didn't know actually played a big role.

For example, the one on the front left is a one-foot-tall plant with pink branches and a lollipop-shaped stem that looks like a cotton ball wrapped around it.

Once a spider approaches, the cotton ball shoots out, expanding in the process and eventually enveloping the giant spider the size of a horse.

Others secrete a transparent, gelatinous liquid, and project "liquid balls" through their waving branches, which stick to the attacking eight-eyed giant spiders.

What’s even more amazing is that these plants seemed to have their own consciousness. They avoided Bagel and his companions who were still on the field and only attacked the spiders.

Basil suspected that Professor Sprout knew the predecessor of the Granger family's "Plant Affinity" talent - the spell to control plants. After all, she was the head of Hufflepuff. Among the four giants, Helga Hufflepuff was the most proficient in herbology and good at earth magic. For example, the Hufflepuff common room was full of various plants.

In short, the swarm of undead eight-eyed spiders brought about by the curse of immortality has not yet broken through the defense line.

Baqir and his men still had nothing to do.

Hagrid, who should have discovered everything on the field, was still fishing in the box and teasing the dragon.

Dumbledore also walked into the dark and deep spider's nest. The silver Phoenix Patronus and Fawkes merged into one, turning the giant spiders that wanted to bypass Dumbledore and go towards the castle into ashes.

The holy magic of the patron saint dispelled the undead curse that spread among these spiders.

This is also the reason why the defense line on the field has not been breached yet.

There were more eight-eyed giant spiders here, illuminated by the holy light released by Fox, and they turned into dust and merged with the dead branches and leaves.

The old and dead Aragog, the source of the curse of undeath, retreated deeper into the Forbidden Forest with the help of his equally dead descendants.

Although they are dead, the remaining instincts in their bodies intertwined with the curse of undeath make them subconsciously want to stay away from the sacred magic power and the demonic magical magnetic field next to them that cannot be ignored, which is as hot as fire, loves everything but not itself, and can only be burned but not reborn.

But all is in vain.

As Dumbledore approached, revealing his true self, the giant spiders deep in the nest slowed down their movements.

Light descended upon the dark depression, and black smoke and flying sand disappeared into the air.

It is only a matter of time before the curse of immortality is resolved.

On the other side, in the restricted area on the fourth floor, in the last room under the trapdoor, Quirrell lifted his turban and turned his back to the Mirror of Erised.

"What I photographed was not your face but the wishes in your heart. What a ridiculous trick." The cold voice said in a sarcastic tone.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 82 The Killing Curse in the Mirror

The voice continued to speak, but it sounded a little careless and lazy.

"Quirinus, what kind of person can take out the Philosopher's Stone hidden in this magic mirror that you said can reflect people's inner desires?"

Quirinus Quirrell smiled and said, "The one who doesn't want to get it, wants to protect it."

The voice sneered, "So, it's ridiculous. For someone like me who is good at reading minds and has a closed brain, isn't it just as easy to temporarily change my thinking?"

"Albus Dumbledore! He must want to catch me. He will pretend to be tricked and sneak behind us. He will appear when I am at my most proud."

Quirrell said, "But your curse is not that simple. If he doesn't take action, the death of the giant spiders will further trigger the curse. Then everyone will fall into a deep sleep like a baby. Even if it is solved. Your foreshadowing - the curse of immortality, after too many cursed hosts are completely destroyed, the remaining hosts will become stronger. Between the safety of the school and the possibility of your resurrection, he will naturally choose the former. But in this case, after he solves the curse, he will have no energy to stop us from leaving the castle."

"Oh, Quirinus, I remember you once thought of hinting my existence to Dumbledore."

"I was too stupid. I had no choice at the beginning. In the eyes of the great Dumbledore, as long as there is a chance to subdue you, what is the pity of sacrificing an insignificant Quirrell?"

"A wise choice. What a pity, though, I thought Severus would show up. He was assigned by Dumbledore to deal with you." However, before Quirrell could answer, he said, "Well, shut up. I'm going to start."

Voldemort's scarlet eyes went empty for a moment.

In the mirror, he was sitting in the principal's office, Bella, Snape and the others were dressed as professors, and the image of Dumbledore's head hanging in the air suddenly shattered.

In an instant, he was the only one left.

On the field, Basil, who heard all this, did not say anything to stop it. The professors' fortifications destroyed the host of the curse - the eight-eyed giant spider.

He just secretly strengthened those few magical plants that shone brightly so that the hosts could be controlled instead of destroyed.

Snape, who was raised by Voldemort, was sweating profusely at this moment. His greasy hair was stuck together by sweat, his chest was wet, and he was trembling as he climbed the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor.

He has been walking on these stairs for more than ten minutes.

Every time you reach the last step of the stairs, you are teleported back to the starting point.

He had no idea what kind of magic this was, and after trying several spells to break it, it still didn't work.

It was like he was stuck in a cycle.

This was also done by Bagel, who kept shifting the space in front of Snape so that he could never reach the reality of the fourth floor.

This gives Voldemort time to show off and talk to Quirrell.

After all, there was no chance that Voldemort would get the Philosopher's Stone.

The stone is currently staying safely in the Granger family vault at Gringotts.

Bagir waved his hand, and the grass on the ground grew longer and gathered together, automatically weaving into a green hanging chair.

Then sat on it.

People around me didn't think it was strange.

With Dumbledore personally taking action, they believed that it was only a matter of time before the incident was completely resolved.
