Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

At first, Voldemort was quite fascinated by all of this, but after exploring it once, he lost interest and began searching for what he wanted.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to find the second volume he wanted, because although Lucius and his group had sent out the message, they had never actually placed the item with the Ministry of Magic; the message was actually false.

Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say there was nothing at all.

One copy of the magic cultivation manual that Ye Feng gave to Sirius Black is sealed in the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Voldemort randomly selected someone and used the Imperius Curse to control them. When he asked the person about the Book of Wonders, he heard news that excited him immensely.

The Ministry of Magic truly possesses a magical book!

Upon receiving this news, Voldemort was incredibly excited, because if the book was real and he got his hands on it, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, reaching a terrifying level.

Perhaps he wouldn't even need to be fully resurrected to beat Dumbledore to a pulp!

Why did he allow the Death Eaters to infiltrate Hogwarts and tamper with the Triwizard Tournament to send Harry out, instead of simply storming into Hogwarts and capturing him?

Isn't it just that he wasn't strong enough to directly attack Hogwarts and capture Harry?

If he were stronger than Dumbledore and all the professors at Hogwarts combined, why would he bother with such underhanded schemes? He could just storm Hogwarts with his wand and then capture Harry in front of everyone.

Now that such an opportunity is right in front of him, how could Voldemort possibly resist?

So he couldn't wait to get to the location provided by the Ministry of Magic member he had controlled with the Imperius Curse.

As Voldemort headed towards the place where the Ministry of Magic had sealed away the methods of magical cultivation, Lucius, who had been waiting for a long time, also brought Voldemort II to the graveyard where Voldemort's father was located.

To the Death Eaters, Voldemort II was no different from Voldemort himself; they had the same appearance, the same aura, the same temper, and... the same power.

So when Lucius returned with Voldemort II, the Death Eaters who remained behind were curious as to why Voldemort had returned so quickly, and even more so because he had returned with Lucius, but they dared not question him in the slightest.

As for doubting whether this Voldemort was a fake or someone else in disguise, they didn't even have that thought.

In their view, Voldemort was synonymous with power and terror, because not only others, but even Voldemort's subordinates were in awe of him and dared not offend him in the slightest.

Therefore, the idea of ​​someone impersonating Voldemort never even crossed their minds.

Of course, no one is actually impersonating Voldemort, because although Voldemort II is called Voldemort II, he is indeed the real Voldemort, without a doubt, except that he is not the Voldemort of this world.

Since Voldemort is not a fake, they will naturally obey Voldemort II's orders, even if the order is to dig up their master's grave.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

"Wait, digging up the master's father's... grave?"

"Oh, it seems the master really dislikes his father? Never mind then, let's dig."

"Wait? What is Master doing? He... he took one of his father's leg bones!!!"

ヽ(?□｀.)ノ??

"Huh? It seems that Master's resurrection requires his father's bones? Never mind then."

"That's not right. I remember the master already did it once before, and he even removed one leg bone. Why is he doing it again? Is one bone not enough?"

"Forget it, who cares? Anyway, he's the master's father, not our father. Let's dig him up."

...

Very quickly, very quickly, Voldemort's father's grave was dug up by several Death Eaters. After opening the grave and coffin and seeing the skeleton inside, Voldemort II only observed it briefly before selecting a thigh bone and putting it away.

After collecting the leg bone and handing it to Lucius, Voldemort II did not hesitate for a moment and immediately ordered the Death Eaters to restore the grave to its original state.

I have to say, the magical world is amazing. After digging up a grave, you can restore it with magic, and hey, it looks exactly the same as before it was dug up!

Seeing that the tomb had been restored and looked no different from before, Voldemort II immediately turned around and walked out with Lucius.

The Voldemors were a little confused when they saw the two leave in such a hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything because of Voldemort's intimidating power. They only dared to speak after Voldemort Number Two and Lucius had gone far away.

Meanwhile, Voldemort, far away in the Ministry of Magic, suddenly shivered, but he thought it was just because he was too excited about getting his hands on the sealed book, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

"Hahaha, so this is the second volume of the Book of Mystery? Dumbledore, Grindelwald, prepare to die!"

"Oh right, and that Ye Feng too."

"Although I don't know why I have this urge to kill you every time I see you, and that urge is even stronger than Harry Potter's, I, Voldemort, don't need a reason to kill you."

303 The Real and Fake Voldemort (Part 2)

Everyone needs to have some pursuit in life. Some people seek profit, some seek fame, some seek power, or some other things.

However, no matter what it is, once a person has something to ask for, they have a goal to move forward. It's just that some people lack perseverance or are misled by the scenery along the way, and ultimately deviate from their ultimate goal.

Voldemort's perseverance is beyond doubt. For his goal, he even split his soul into several parts, and even after turning himself into a grotesque creature, he still did not forget his original intention—to conquer Hogwarts.

Okay, this goal may seem a bit small, but it's incredibly difficult for Voldemort! You have to understand that this is something Voldemort never managed to accomplish in his entire life.

Ye Feng: (￣ー￣)

"How low-class is this? Luckily I'm not the Dark Lord, or I'd be so embarrassed I'd dig a hole and bury myself in it!"

Voldemort: You dare insult me ​​again!!!

Ahem, although the Dark Lord's prestige plummeted because of Voldemort, his perseverance is absolutely commendable. And now, Voldemort is already fantasizing about what he will do after he achieves his dream.

"Hahaha, Dumbledore, didn't you say my actions were wrong? Didn't you expel me from Hogwarts? Now, I will return as the Dark Lord and crush Hogwarts!"

Hogwarts: I'm so scared~ Oh no~

(￣ ー￣)

...

Voldemort was unusually excited as he looked at the book in front of him, which was rather messy and didn't even have a cover. It was probably something that no one would bother to pick up if it were lying on the ground outside.

As he fantasized about how he would raze Hogwarts to the ground, he reached out and picked up the book.

"From this day forward, I, Voldemort... will fear no one, no one!"

Voldemort's words seemed to be a declaration to the whole world, or perhaps an encouragement to himself to give him more confidence. After saying this, Voldemort opened the book in his hand.

Voldemort: [?_??]

turn...

Voldemort: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Continue flipping...

Voldemort: (キ｀?Д??)!!

Quick flip...

Voldemort: (╬◣д◢)

Undeterred, I kept flipping through until I reached the very end...

Voldemort: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

"Antonin Dolokhov, have you betrayed me too?"

"Good, very good, excellent!!!"

"I'll see who's plotting against me!"

Voldemort was furious when he realized he had been tricked. In his rage, he reached out to tear the book in his hand to shreds, but when he gripped the book tightly and even tore it a little, he suddenly stopped.

"Although the content of this book is basically the same as the one I received before, there are still some differences. Perhaps... I can find something useful in it..."

While pondering, Voldemort put the book away, and after putting it away, he turned around and looked back with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

His arrogant and loud laughter was so loud that someone in the Ministry of Magic must have noticed, since not everyone there is a good-for-nothing. And wizards are already on their way from not far away.

"Perfect timing! I've been wanting to vent my anger, and now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I won't be polite." With that, Voldemort pulled out his wand.

However, just as he was about to unleash the Unforgivable Curse on the wizards of the Ministry of Magic, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

"No! Their goal is..."

Realizing this, Voldemort's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately withdrew the Unforgivable Curse he was about to cast, his body instantly turning into black smoke and dissipating.

Realizing the purpose behind their trickery, Voldemort ignored the wizard from the Ministry of Magic's venting his anger and rushed back as fast as he could.

Although Voldemort was fast, it still took him some time to travel back and forth. In addition, he had asked around about the books beforehand, which wasted a lot of time.

Therefore, when Voldemort returned to his father's grave, Voldemort Number Two and Lucius had long since disappeared.

So when Voldemort returned to his current 'lodge' and found nothing unusual, and Antonin Dolokhov bowed respectfully to him as usual, he hesitated.

"Could I have guessed wrong? Could it be that no one betrayed me? Was it not a scam?"

"But why is the content of that book almost exactly the same as the one I received before?"

With deep doubt in his heart, Voldemort chose the simplest and most direct way to break the deadlock.

"Soul-Stealing Curse!"

"Tell me, did you betray me?"

The Death Eaters were terrified that Voldemort would suddenly use the Imperius Curse on Antonin Dolokhov. Antonin Dolokhov was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

"Master, I swear to you! I have never betrayed you!"

Looking at Antonin Dolokhov kneeling on the ground, Voldemort fell into deep thought.

The Soul Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses. Unless the target is a master of Occlumency, it is absolutely impossible for someone afflicted with it to lie to themselves.

Antonin Dolokhov, as his most loyal follower, had been with him from the very beginning. He knew him very well, so Voldemort knew very well that Antonin Dolokhov had no chance of resisting his Imperius Curse.

But now a problem has arisen.

If Antonin Dolokhov couldn't possibly betray him, then why was he deceived? After all, the book in the Ministry of Magic couldn't possibly be the second volume.

Based on his understanding of magic training methods, the book sealed in the Ministry of Magic could not possibly be the real second volume, meaning he had indeed been deceived.

However, nothing unusual had actually happened here, and Antonin Dolokhov hadn't betrayed him; what he said was indeed true, so…

"What exactly went wrong?" Voldemort pondered, glancing at the others.

"Is it possible, just one possibility, that he believes what he's saying is true, but actually what he believes is false?"

Upon realizing this, Voldemort suddenly understood many things as if he had been enlightened.

"In other words, it wasn't my foolish subordinates who betrayed me, but rather they themselves were deceived, which is why they gave me false information."

“If this is true, then it proves that this matter must be related to the Ministry of Magic, and that someone with a strong Occlumency spell is involved. Otherwise, this news could not have been kept from my stupid subordinate who also knows the Imperius Curse.”
