Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 359 My dear son! Call me daddy!

Leaving the senior sister's real hiding place, Li Weide was teleported back to the senior sister's fairy workshop.

Looking at the goblin craftsmen who are still busy in the goblin workshop.

Li Weide recalled the last words the senior said to him when he left...

"After I get out, the fairy workshop and all the slaves I've collected during this period will be yours. I just want freedom. Of course, I know I can't give you enough reasons to trust me. I can only give you tangible benefits. The choice is yours..."

Li Weide couldn't help but sigh.

"For the strong, trust is unnecessary... But that would be too boring. It seems that I am not as strong as I thought..."

Li Weide turned around and took a step forward, then disappeared into the workshop...

……

Dumbledore had left.

Tom left the hotel alone through the fireplace.

However, he did not go to the safe house as originally planned, but went to the North Sea coast alone.

After realizing that the root of everything lies with himself, Tom gave up his previous idea.

Since it is not the world but himself that is confused, it would be futile for him to ask other people.

But in this way, Tom suddenly felt that he had lost his direction...

Standing on a reef and looking at the endless sea in front of him, Tom's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

He heard from that bastard Li Weide that he had come here to play for a few days during the summer vacation, so Tom, who had no destination at the moment, subconsciously came here to take a look.

Since there was nowhere to go, Tom decided to stay here for a few days and then go over the whole thing again based on the clues he had caught before. Maybe he would have some new ideas then.

Tom is a man of great action. Once he made a decision, he didn't delay any further.

However, he did not camp at the beach like Li Weide, but instead booked a room in the best hotel in a nearby town.

But it's wartime now, and even the best hotel doesn't have a very good environment.

Even though Tom is a rich second-generation, there is nothing he can do about this.

Lying on the soft bed, Tom stared straight at the ceiling, his mind constantly recalling the whole incident...

"Since Dumbledore came looking for me again and was well prepared, it proves that everyone in Hogwarts has returned to normal after I left."

"From the time Dumbledore discovered me to the time I approached him, he had obviously fought the curse once. And I walked to the hotel, not Apparated. And when he saw me and talked to me, his memory and cognition had not been completely changed!"

"Because the curse only triggers when you get close to me! This proves that the range of my curse isn't actually that large! That's why Dumbledore's resistance didn't completely wear off in time... Based on previous experience, it's probably around five meters... And the closer you get to me, the greater the impact..."

"That's barely good news. It's unaffected at a distance of five meters. Does that mean I can talk to people outside of that range and exchange information? No... it's not that simple. Voices can also be interfered with and altered..."

"Also... Levid, who was not at Hogwarts at the time, should not have been affected by me."

"And since Dumbledore can find me, then...it seems that Levid can find me too?"

"Hmm... maybe, as long as I see this guy appear in front of me, the curse on me will be lifted..."

"Wait! No! I can't stay here!"

Tom sat up immediately, and his body instantly became tense from being relaxed just now!
If everyone who gets close to him is affected, then wouldn't Li Weide also be affected if he gets close to him? Or even be wiped out?
This guy Li Weide probably doesn't know the radiation range of the curse on him!

The most important thing is that he likes to show off by teleporting... If he teleports next to me, wouldn't he be gone instantly?

"No! I can't let him find me!" Tom stood up immediately and grabbed his bag.

Suddenly, he heard faint voices of conversation coming from outside the door.

"...Yes, that kid named Tom lives in this room."

"Okay, thank you. I'll take care of the rest."

The footsteps stopped at the door.

As the other set of footsteps moved away, there was a knock on Tom's door.

"Tom, open the door." Li Weide's voice came from outside the door.

Although the tone of his voice became very strange, as if it was based on Li Weide's voice, but raised by two tones...

However, even though the voice changed, Li Weide's unique accent remained the same...

Tom's eyes suddenly widened. "Shit, it's really you!"

Then he quickly estimated the distance between himself and the door...

"Don't come in! Listen to me first..."

However, before Tom could finish his words, he heard a slight "crackling" sound coming from outside the door...

Oh no! It's Levid who has Apparated! Tom was shocked!

Logically speaking, wizards cannot Apparate to a place they have never been to.

But a wizard as skilled as Li Weide, who was so close to him, could easily capture the trajectory of his magic and then complete a short-distance apparition...

Tom didn't hesitate, picked up his backpack and Apparated away.

"Snapped!"

Li Wei De, who was dusting himself off outside the door, heard the sound in the room, and then felt that the curse radiating from Tom had disappeared.

"Ok?"

"Crack!"

Li Weide directly opened the door with the unlocking spell.

Looking at the empty room, Li Weide was completely bewildered. "Wait... why did you run away!? I was just dusting myself off..."

After confirming Tom's exact location with Fox, he also walked over slowly.

Just to slowly test the scope of the curse on Tom...

I didn't expect that the guy ran away just as I arrived at the door and before I could measure the exact range?

What the hell is wrong with this kid?
Tom had indeed learned a lot from his ancestor. When he needed to Apparate urgently, he could cover his tracks in time to prevent others from Apparating and catching up with him.

However, this still could not be hidden from Li Weide.

Li Wei De took out his wand, felt the magical track left by Tom's apparition, and quickly determined the approximate direction.

Then it turned into a ball of white mist and flew out of the window...

……

Tom ran very fast. He subconsciously felt that he should stay away from Li Weide for a while.

But he hasn't figured out what to do after he gets away from her.

However, based on his understanding of Li Weide, it would definitely not take him long to track him down!

So, after his figure appeared on a huge reef on the seashore, he prepared to Apparate for the second time.

However, for a wizard of his age, completing a complete Apparition to teleport over a long distance is extremely energy-consuming and physically demanding.

Therefore, even if he wanted to perform a second Apparition to continue running away, he needed to slow down.

Otherwise, there is a high chance that Apparition will fail.

Just as he slowed down for a moment, he saw a white mist rushing towards him in the distance!

"Not good!" Tom closed his eyes tightly, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to recall the scene of the next location, preparing to force a second Apparition.

However, just as he started to turn around, he felt someone pressing down on his shoulder...

"Tom, don't run." Li Weide's voice sounded in his ears.

When the sound fell into his ears, it became extremely strange, as if it was muffled in water.

Tom opened his eyes and turned his head, only to see Li Weide standing behind him. The white mist had just dissipated...

"Aren't you affected?" Tom was delighted.

Li Weide did appear in front of him, proving that he was not schizophrenic!
Moreover, since Li Weide is not affected, then with his ability, he will definitely be able to escape from this inexplicable curse!
"Influence...shadow..." Li Weide suddenly stopped talking, and even his expression froze, and then a trace of confusion seemed to flash in his eyes...

"Hey... who are you? Hiss... who am I?"

Tom's heart sank, "Marula!"

You bastard, you're obviously going to be affected too, so why are you so carelessly running so close to me?!

And... even Li Weide himself can't break this curse?
And... why has this guy's eyes lost their luster?

Could it be that this curse couldn't erase others, but still erased his memory?

"This is worse!" cried Tom.

Originally, as long as Li Weide knew his situation, based on his ability, there was still hope that he could find a way to save himself.

But now... this guy's memory has been wiped... I just hope this isn't permanent, otherwise...

The consequence would be no different from Li Weide being completely wiped out!

The chances of a curse turning a living person into nothingness are still very small, but if it just erases a person's memory... the chances are much higher!
The more Tom thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly started to pry Li Weide's hands apart and prepared to run away.

I’m afraid that if the contact lasts too long, Li Weide will really not wake up!

After forcing Li Weide's hands apart, Tom took a deep breath and began to spin.

"Apparition..."

However, he had just turned half a circle when he was pinned down again.

"Ha! I remember!" Li Weide grabbed Tom's shoulders and shook him hard.

"Fuck! You evil creature, what have you thought of now?" Tom roared.

His Apparition was forcibly interrupted, and he almost split apart...

"I mean, I remember who you are, and... who I am." Li Weide smiled.

However, Tom did not relax, because this curse not only changed cognition, but also had the effect of tampering with memory.

This was true for Dumbledore, and for everyone else as well.

Li Weide's stunned look just now probably means that he failed to resist and was then forcibly instilled with a false memory by the curse...

If he guessed correctly, at this moment, Li Weide already thought that he was another person.

But this is also good, at least this bastard's memory and himself should not be directly erased...

"I remember. You are Tom. And I..."

"Who are you? Bastard?" Tom started to pry Li Weide's hands again, hoping to leave as soon as possible.

"What a bastard! You have no respect for your elders! My name is Li Weide, and I'm your adoptive father! My dear son, call me daddy!"

This time, Li Weide's voice did not change in pitch, but was his normal voice.

Tom stopped breaking his arms suddenly. He turned to look at Li Weide in surprise, and then saw his extremely annoying smile again.

"Fuck...were you kidding me?!"
