"You, you're still keeping me in suspense.
Tom took the Resurrection Stone and examined it.
"How do you spin it?"
"Put it in your hand and spin it three times..."
Tom pinched the Resurrection Stone, but before he even started spinning, his eyes widened.
He noticed mist rising from the surroundings!
"Huh?
It's starting?"
Levi asked in surprise at Tom's reaction.
"Huh!
It's starting..." Tom panicked.
But remembering that Levi hadn't been in any danger just now, he forced himself to remain calm.
Levi was surprised.
According to the Tales of Beedle the Bard, it did require three rotations for the power to take effect.
Otherwise, in the original timeline, Tom wouldn't have owned the ring for years and still not discovered the secrets of the Resurrection Stone.
But now, Tom had just started using it, and the Resurrection Stone was already working?
Tom stared intently at the mist, constantly on guard.
Suddenly, a voice called from behind him.
"Tom? Is that you?"
Tom's muscles tensed.
Because the voice calling his name wasn't Levid, standing next to him, but a woman's!
Tom slowly turned his head and froze.
Standing before him was a woman in tattered clothes and plain features... the same one who had just called him!
"You... you were the one who called my name? Who are you?"
Tom turned to Levid in surprise.
"Did you see? There's a woman here!"
"Tom... I'm your mother..."
Tom turned sharply, looking at the woman.
"You... but... how is this possible?
Aren't you... dead? Are you a ghost?"
"I am, but you summoned me back again."
Merope paused, a strange look in her eyes as she looked at Tom.
"Tom... my wish has come true. You... look so much like him..."
"Pah!"
Tom threw the Resurrection Stone onto the table.
As the Stone left his hand, Merope vanished.
"What on earth is going on? What on earth is going on?"
Tom gasped, repeating the question, and then stared at Li Weide.
"This is the magic of this stone, Tom... It allows you to see the person you want to resurrect."
Li Weide looked at Tom with a complicated look.
"So... you want to resurrect your mother?"
"No... I didn't..." Tom denied it flatly.
He looked up at Li Weide again, "Did you see your relatives too?"
"Me?
Well... I'm sorry, I don't have anyone I want to resurrect..." Li Weide answered calmly.
Tom just felt that Li Weide didn't want to tell him.
If he didn't see anything, how could he know that the magic of this stone was to summon the dead?
Li Weide looked at the Resurrection Stone, lying quietly on the table.
"What did your mother say to you?
Why did she throw it away?"
This time, Tom was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "Weide... the first thing she said when she saw me was, 'That coward!'
She didn't even care how I'd been doing all these years!
She...she only had eyes for that coward!"
"Besides, don't you think she's too selfish?
I...I don't want to grow up in an orphanage at all. If she didn't want to live anymore, why did she give birth to me?"
Li Weide silently picked up the Resurrection Stone and placed it back in Tom's hands.
"Since you want to know the answer, why don't you take this opportunity to ask her in person?"
Tom looked at the Resurrection Stone in his hands, then turned to the corner he had just been in.
Sure enough, Merope was there again, her face filled with sadness.
"Child, don't you want to see me anymore?"
Merope said sadly.
Tom looked at Merope silently without answering her.
After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Livid, "Is she real?"
Livid shook his head, "I don't know.
Besides, only the person holding the stone can see it."
If it was before, he might say it was fake, but... Tom didn't turn the resurrection stone, and Merope appeared, so it's hard to say...
Tom turned his head and looked at Merope, "Whether you are real or fake, you disappoint me... Mother.
How could you leave me in an orphanage and die alone?
Have you never considered me?"
Merope's lips trembled, "I... I had no choice... I was desperate at that time... I could never... I could never live again.
I was about to die, Tom... I had no will to live anymore..."
Tom said angrily, "Then why can't you regain even a little bit of the will to live for me?
Or am I just a burden in your eyes? A burden?
How great... After getting rid of me, this burden, you can die peacefully, right?"
"No... no... my love for you hasn't diminished in the slightest! It's just that I was already exhausted.
I used up my last bit of strength to give birth to you, and then I used my last ability to arrange a place for you... I just wanted you to have a place to stay after I died..."
Merope walked over with a sorrowful look on her face, reaching out to touch Tom's cheek.
But Tom turned his head away.
"Arrange a place... do you mean abandon me in an orphanage?
Eleven years!
I spent eleven years in an orphanage!
Do you know how I spent those eleven years?
If I hadn't awakened my magical powers, do you know how dark the road ahead would have been?
I hate that place... Mother!
If I had a choice, I would rather I had never been born!"
Tom had always harbored a subtle resentment towards his mother.
After visiting the Riddle family, Tom's resentment towards his mother reached its peak.
After returning, he secretly wondered what would have happened if his mother hadn't died in front of the orphanage.
What if he had been raised by her ?
Tom was convinced that if he had known he was a wizard earlier and had been exposed to magic sooner , with his abilities, he could have provided mother and son with a comfortable life!
At least food and clothing wouldn't be a problem!
Even if he couldn't use magic to commit crimes, wouldn't it be difficult to use magic to get food and clothing?
If that were the case, he wouldn't have started so late...
At least, he wouldn't have been in an orphanage, ignorant, and then had Levid step on his head...
Merope apologized sadly and feebly, "I'm sorry... child... I'm sorry, I... I don't expect you to forgive me, but... at least, let me look at you again."
Tom took a deep breath.
"Enough... really enough..."
He gave his mother one last, deep look before placing the Resurrection Stone back on the table.
As the Resurrection Stone was placed, Merope disappeared from the house.
He looked up at Levitra, who had been standing silently to the side.
"This stone... you take it.
I... I don't want it anymore."
Levitra looked at Tom in surprise.
"Why bother?
Tom... since you can see your mother, it proves you want to resurrect he.
In other words, you have feelings for her..."
"Really?
I don't know... but I don't want to see her again..." Tom said, without even glancing at the Resurrection Stone, and turned to head upstairs.
"Tom... even if you don't want to see your mother again, then you don't want this Gaunt ring either?
Isn't it your heirloom?"
Levitra asked, picking up the Resurrection Stone.
"No... it's a Gaunt, after all! I'll naturally have something of my own to pass down from generation to generation!
Starting with my generation!" Tom said, and without looking back, he went upstairs.
"Tsk tsk, young man, you're still too impulsive," Levitra sighed, his gaze returning to the Resurrection Stone in his hand.
He didn't know what had happened to cause Tom's abnormal behavior with the Resurrection Stone, but there was no doubt that the Resurrection Stone was indeed a valuable item.
According to Levid's memory, Grindelwald had also considered collecting the Three Hallows, and his purpose in acquiring the Resurrection Stone seemed to be to create an army of Inferi.
In other words, could this artifact actually create Inferi?
Levid remained skeptical, as there was no mention of such a thing in The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
With this thought in mind, Levid ran back to his room and pulled out a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard from the bookshelf.
He had bought it out of curiosity, and now it would come in handy.
He examined the inscription "Peverell" on the Resurrection Stone and flipped the book to "The Tale of the Three Brothers."
He then put the Stone down, took out a piece of parchment, and began writing a letter.
Once he finished, he called Toby over and handed him the letter.
"Give it to Professor Dumbledore. You know where he is now."
Dumbledore was still busy in his office at Hogwarts Castle.
However, Levid sent a house-elf to deliver a letter to him.
Originally, Dumbledore thought it was just some trivial matter.
However, after reading the letter, Dumbledore immediately quit his current job and rushed from the fireplace in his office to Levid's safe house as fast as he could!
The Resurrection Stone!
The Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Deathly Hallows!
The Three Deathly Hallows, whether to him or Grindelwald, held immense significance.
If the Deathly Hallow Grindelwald desired most was the Elder Wand, then the Deathly Hallow he desired most was the Resurrection Stone...
He dreamed of seeing his sister and his parents again... and then personally saying to them... I'm sorry!
