Chapter 124 What are you doing?

"I know."

Regulus looked at Bella calmly and said, "My last name is Black."

"It's good that you haven't forgotten these. I hope you can complete the Dark Lord's mission as soon as possible and don't let the Dark Lord down."

Bella curled her lips and looked at Regulus with a strange smile and said, "The Dark Lord thinks highly of you."

Regulus pursed his lips slightly and looked at Bella until Bella left the Forbidden Forest.

The moment he was sure Bella had left.

Regulus's straight back bent, and a look of confusion and helplessness appeared on his face.

He looked down at his hands.

Maybe it was right for my mother to choose Sirius. Sirius is more suitable to be Black's heir than me.

Regulus felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the time when he followed other Death Eaters on missions and watched them kill those Muggles.

Those Muggles were laughing and chatting with their families one second ago, and the next second they were reduced to broken limbs, staring straight in his direction with smiles on their faces that they had not yet had time to put away.

It's obviously for the glory of pure blood, why hurt these ordinary people.

For the first time, he began to waver in the belief he had held for many years.

"Want some tea?"

A gentle female voice suddenly sounded in the forbidden forest.

Regulus was startled and looked up suddenly, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Not far away, Jiang Li had placed a table and chairs nearby at some point. There was hot tea on the table, and some exquisite pastries were placed on it.

Jiang Li was drinking tea from the cup leisurely. Snape was sitting opposite him, pouring tea into the third cup on the table.

Regulus immediately took out his wand and pointed it at Jiang Li.

I don’t know what she just heard, and I feel a little flustered.

"Expelliarmus"

As soon as he raised his hand, Snape knocked the weapon out of his hand.

Jiang Li calmly waved his wand at him.

Regulus found that he could not control his body.

He was forced to walk over to the chair next to Jiang Li and sit down.

"You must be scared. Have a cup of tea and calm down."

Jiang Li gently pushed the teacup towards him.

Regulus gripped the teacup tightly, his fingers turning white from the force, his lips tightly closed with the corners of his mouth slightly turned down, trying his best to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart.

"How come you are here?"

He pretended to be calm and asked the two of them tentatively, "I just want to explore the Forbidden Forest. Professor Malfoy, can you please not deduct points from Slytherin?"

"Didn't you accept the Dark Lord's mission to kill me? Now is a good opportunity. You can poison my cup and kill me."

Jiang Li teased with a relaxed smile.

It was like a bolt from the blue to Regulus' ears.

Snape had already walked over and picked up Regulus's wand to prevent him from making a sudden move.

"So…when did you start following me?"

Regulus's whole body was tense, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Jiang Li with a calm expression, as if he didn't care at all.

But his lips, which had turned pale with nervousness, betrayed his uneasiness.

"We weren't following you. We just happened to run into you."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li said with some emotion: "Why do you Death Eaters like to meet in the Forbidden Forest?"

It would be fine if we just met, but every time you talk you don't use a spell to block out the surroundings. Are you so confident that no one around can hear you?

"…Now that you know my plan, are you going to kick me out of Hogwarts?"

Regulus' voice was tense, and there was a hint of anticipation in his heart.

If he was expelled from Hogwarts, the Dark Lord would have no reason to let him deal with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't agree. He held his chin up and looked at Regulus's childish face. "You can't kill me now anyway, so why don't we talk about it? Do you really agree with the Dark Lord's philosophy?"

Hearing this, Regulus lowered his head, and the warmth from the teacup made him dazed for a moment.

"I have no idea."

When he was young, his mother only had eyes for Sirius and wanted him to inherit everything from the Black family.

Even though I knew Sirius was admitted to Gryffindor, I still paid more attention to Sirius.

It was not until Andromeda married a Muggle-born and was expelled from the Black family that Sirius completely exploded and broke with the family, and his mother turned her attention to him.

He was forced to become Black's successor, with countless eyes staring at him.

He had no choice but to pursue the Dark Lord for the glory of the Black family. Only the Dark Lord could bring the Black family everything they wanted.

"Regulus, you like being a puppet of the family so much, don't you know what they did to Andromeda!"

Sirius roared at him angrily that day and questioned him.

"So do you enjoy the pleasure of killing people?"

Jiang Li took a sip of tea and asked.

Regulus subconsciously took a sip of tea to hide his nervousness, and the bitter aroma of the tea calmed him down a lot.

"I don't like killing people."

Maybe he really wasn't fit to be Black's heir.

He couldn't turn a blind eye to the passing of a life.

"Want some sugar?"

Snape sat to one side and pushed the sugar cube towards Regulus.

Regulus subconsciously put two pieces into the cup and thanked Snape.

"You don't like killing people, so you must have a hard time under Voldemort. Have you ever thought about betraying him?"

Jiang Li looked at Regulus tenderly and said, "Perhaps I can help you complete your task."

Hearing this, Regulus looked at Jiang Li in shock and asked, "You want to help me kill you?"

"Is this difficult?"

Jiang Li crossed his hands, rested his chin on his hand and looked at Regulus and said, "Have you never thought about living for yourself? Sirius is obviously the heir trained by Black, but he abandoned his responsibilities and let you face it all alone."

"Professor Malfoy, are you saying this to make me obey you?"

Regulus's gaze gradually became sharper, staring straight at Jiang Li, as if he wanted to see through the other person's heart.

"No, your decision has nothing to do with me. I have countless ways to kill you. I don't need to be your spiritual mentor here to enlighten you."

Jiang Li held the teacup in one hand and admired the scenery in the forbidden forest, "You are so young, why do you put so many unnecessary shackles on yourself.

Your life does not belong to the Black family, it belongs only to you."

The main reason is that all of Regulus's relatives except Sirius are dead, and there is basically no one who can restrain Regulus's thoughts.

If Jiang Li were Regulus, she would just let herself go and do whatever she wanted. After all, there was no one older than her in the family, so she could just treat the words of other relatives as farts.

Regulus recalled Jiang Li's words in his mind.

There was a rustling sound in the bushes in the distance.

He immediately stood up alertly.

A snow-white unicorn came out from behind the bushes, came in front of them, and started eating the cakes on the table.

Regulus looked at this scene with some surprise.

Unicorns are very pure creatures, and this is the first time he has seen such a friendly unicorn.

He quietly raised his hand, wanting to touch the unicorn.

Tentatively, he placed his hand on the back, and saw that the unicorn did not move away.

Regulus' face broke out into a huge smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He was accepted by the unicorn.

Jiang Li and Snape next to them took out a pair of scissors very familiarly, grabbed a handful of unicorn mane and prepared to cut it.

"What are you doing?"

He stared at the two of them with wide eyes in disbelief.
