Chapter 159 The crazy plan died in its infancy!
They also saw the two dead adult eight-eyed giant spiders.
"Protect them all!"
Snape's expression changed, and he immediately turned around to create a defensive barrier, keeping the eight-eyed spiders outside to prevent them from suppressing their nature and attacking him as a group.
Then, he took out a spare bottle of special antidote from his pocket, walked quickly to Eckeris's side, and prepared to pry open her mouth and force it down her throat.
However, they did not realize that Ecclesia's inner world was not as desolate and peaceful as she appeared on the surface.
Rather, it is a desperate, hysterical ruthlessness and madness.
She was bombarded with the telepathic messages from Voldemort's main spirit, which continuously stimulated her mind. She did not faint, but instead fell into madness.
Upon seeing Snape, their savior, arrive, their first thought was not that their lives had been saved, but that their suffering would continue.
She mustered her mental strength and made an extremely bold and insane suggestion to Voldemort's main spirit in her mind:
“Master, didn’t you say Snape was a loyal spy? Now’s the time to reveal your identity to him and order him to assist us.”
You then control my body, and together with Snape, we will defeat the swarm of eight-eyed spiders, infiltrate the deepest cave in the labyrinth, and retrieve the Philosopher's Stone.
Then we'll escape Hogwarts together, and Snape will use the Philosopher's Stone to concoct an elixir of immortality and a potion of physical restoration for you, helping you regain your physical body, return to your peak, and make a triumphant return!
"This……"
Voldemort's main soul, which was in a state of madness for many years, hesitated at this moment because of Ecclesia's bold suggestion.
This plan can be described as quite perfect, but it is based on the premise that Snape has no ulterior motives and will obey his orders.
Voldemort's main soul is currently in a low state and he is not confident that he can subdue Snape with his strength. If Snape has already turned against him, then he will have to escape back to the wild and find the next unfortunate host.
The current favorable situation will also be completely lost.
"Master, don't hesitate! Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Since becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I've been under the curse of miracles you set up, and I've had absolutely no luck at all!
No matter how thoughtful I am or how cautious I am in my actions, misfortunes keep happening one after another. If this continues, I will be cursed to death sooner or later, and your plan to revive you will be in vain!
"Make a decision, Master! Reveal your identities, control my body, join forces with Snape, and use force to clear a path and seize the Philosopher's Stone! Just spare my life!"
Ecclesia sensed Voldemort's hesitation and anxiously added more evidence.
Voldemort's main soul was persuaded this time. He longed for immortality and was extremely afraid of death, but he had already created so many Horcruxes that his life was guaranteed.
Even if you trust the wrong person this time, your soul can be reborn on a certain Horcrux.
If Ecclesia dared to risk her life, how could he, the Dark Lord, be outdone in madness?
It's done!
Voldemort's main spirit made a decision and began to release his unique magic on Ecclesia's belly, communicating with the Dark Mark on Snape's body.
The mental communication was lightning fast and incredibly quick, taking very little time.
So at this moment, Snape had just reached out and held Ecclesia's head, pouring the antidote into her mouth.
He was extremely averse to physical contact with Eckeris, and even when he had to hold Eckeris's head, it was only through the sleeve of his robe.
As he drank the potion, he noticed a slight reaction from an evil mark that had been dormant for ten years, hidden inside his robe and on his arm.
Is it just my imagination?
still is……
Snape was startled, a thousand thoughts rushing through his mind. Following his senses, he turned his head and saw what appeared to be specks of black magic emanating from Ecclesia's abdomen, though they were not noticeable against her black robes.
He was about to extend his wand to investigate when he was interrupted by a sudden, annoying voice.
"Professor Ecclesia, are you here? Answer me if you hear me! Repeat, answer me if you hear me!"
Dudley caught a glimpse of Voldemort's main soul releasing its magic through the 'water in the bottle' monitoring system. In order to prevent his and Dumbledore's plan to control Voldemort from getting in the wrong way, he chose to reveal himself.
He found a corner, dispelled the illusion spell, and revealed his true form.
His entire body glowed with the red light of the Power-Boosting Charm. He easily brushed aside all the eight-eyed giant spiders blocking his way, pretending to know nothing, and shouted as he quickly walked into the corridor where Snape and Ecclesia were.
They stood outside the defensive barrier set up by Snape.
The octagonal spider clan was enraged when they saw that Eclairs had not only killed one of their young members but also two adult members, and they were about to launch a fierce attack.
Suddenly, Dudley, glowing red and possessing monstrous strength, appeared, forcefully pushing aside the spiders. He then lost his fighting spirit and regained his composure.
"Snape, what's wrong with Professor Ecclesia? What happened? Quickly open this lousy dome and put me in! Don't worry, with me here, these little spiders won't dare to cause trouble!"
Dudley pounded on the semi-transparent defensive barrier set up by Snape, letting out an anxious but confident shout.
He noticed that the black magical dots emanating from Ecclesia's abdomen had stopped, indicating that Voldemort's main soul had abandoned some unknown operation that was likely related to Snape.
"Open the door! Snape! Open the door right now! What happened to Professor Ecclesia? You didn't kill her to get rid of her, did you?"
Seeing that Snape was still staring at him with a gloomy expression but did not open the barrier, Dudley launched an even more intense urging attack, shouting and pounding hard on the defensive barrier.
Snape was somewhat hesitant. He suspected that Ecclesiastes was connected to Voldemort and might even have brought Voldemort's remnant soul to Hogwarts.
Therefore, he didn't want Dudley involved, but rather wanted to quickly deal with things here and go talk to Dumbledore.
But in that short time, the Dark Mark on his arm disappeared again.
It was as if what he had just felt was truly his imagination.
Snape hesitated for a moment, then waved his wand to open a gap in the defensive barrier, letting Dudley in.
As soon as Dudley entered, he went straight to the fallen Eckeris, quickly running to their side, his expression anxious and remorseful.
"Professor Erickles, what's wrong? Are you alright? Wow! The veins on your neck have turned black! Have you been poisoned?"
"Do it, Master! Kill him! Haven't you been wanting to kill this foul-mouthed fatso for a long time? Don't miss this opportunity!"
Dudley feigned concern, but Eckeris harbored true murderous intent.
She remained silent, but secretly used her mental power to frantically transmit messages to Voldemort's main spirit, urging the Voldemort main spirit, which had withdrawn midway, to attack again.
"Shut up! I don't need you to tell me what to do!"
Voldemort's main soul ignored Ecclesia's advice this time and instead retorted sharply through telepathy, "I told you long ago that this foul-mouthed fat kid is a bait set up by Dumbledore, and his strength is entirely due to Dumbledore's secret support!"
Now that the little fat guy is here, how far away can Dumbledore be? If I expose myself now, Dumbledore will definitely show up and catch me off guard!
"At that point, not only will all our previous efforts be in vain, but we might not even be able to escape!"
