Chapter 159 Soul Carrier

When Snape found Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was squatting on the floor of the alchemy room, holding the sword of Gryffindor in his hand, poking at the residual soul of Voldemort in the crystal ball with great pleasure.

The black residual soul was trembling and dodging here and there, obviously suffering from great damage, and its soul body had become much lighter.

Seeing this, he walked over and squatted next to Jiang Li.

The two of them squatted in a row.

"Do you want to play?"

Jiang Li handed the sword to Snape.

"Where did you find the Sword of Gryffindor?"

Snape took the sword and subconsciously poked the remnant soul following her posture.

Seeing Voldemort's soul roaring in fear, I felt a little better for being disgusted.

"I just went to the headmaster's office. Dumbledore wasn't there. I chatted with the Sorting Hat for a while. It said I could take the Sword of Gryffindor out of the hat. I tried it and it worked."

Jiang Li took Gryffindor's sword to deal with the remnant soul.

Originally, she just wanted to simply study the characteristics of these residual souls, but who knew that Voldemort's residual soul always wanted to seduce her.

He often creates illusions in front of Jiang Li and says strange words to guide Jiang Li's inner desires.

Illusions are usually what people desire most in their hearts.

In fact, Jiang Li also wanted to see what his illusion was like, but when he saw the illusion created by the remnant soul, several senior brothers and sisters were speaking English. He couldn't help but stab one of the remnant souls to death with a sword.

The other few residual souls hid here and there, fearing that they would be stabbed to death by Jiang Li. They were really afraid that Jiang Li would accidentally kill them.

"They just provided me with a message."

Seeing that Snape was also very happy, Jiang Li said to Snape: "Do you still remember the basilisk? This residual soul told me how to open the Chamber of Secrets. I must use Parseltongue."

"But we don't speak Parseltongue."

Snape frowned, remembering the scene where Harry used Parseltongue, and looked at Jiang Li and said, "You want to use Voldemort's residual soul to open the Chamber of Secrets and find the Basilisk."

"That's right." Jiang Li looked at Snape with admiration and said, "That's exactly what I planned."

"No, that's too dangerous, and Voldemort is too cunning. He must want to use you to do something." Snape objected.

If Voldemort was really that easy to deal with, Dumbledore wouldn't have had to spend so much time and effort in his previous life, making so many plans and sending Harry to his death.

"I know these remaining souls are lying, so we can use this."

Jiang Li took out an alchemical item with a gilded snake head.

"What is this?" Snape asked puzzledly.

"This is my new alchemical item. I tried to extract the memories from these residual souls and discovered the special tone of Parseltongue, so I made this to record and translate Parseltongue." Jiang Li explained.

She discovered that Parseltongue was not impossible to learn, but because it had few uses and was relatively difficult, few people would learn it.

Moreover, some talents exist in the soul. She separated a part of the residual soul, converted it slightly, and used it to make a Parseltongue translator, and the effect was quite good.

Hearing this, Snape's mouth twitched.

I guess Voldemort couldn't imagine that his remaining soul would be used by Jiang Li for research.

"Don't underestimate Voldemort. He is a very cunning man, and his remaining soul is not that simple either." Snape said seriously.

Hearing this, Jiang Li also said seriously: "Then what time do we set out to find the basilisk tonight?"

Snape: "..." It seems that he didn't take his words into consideration at all.

"Let's go tomorrow morning."

At this point, all the students have returned to the dormitory, so even if something unexpected happens, there is no need to worry about affecting other people.

Snape stood up and said to Jiang Li: "Can you go to Sprout and steal some mandrakes?"

Seeing the basilisk's eyes would turn one into stone, so he had to make some preparations in advance to avoid any accidents.

"Why steal? Why not just buy it from Professor Sprout? Mandrake is also sold on the market." Jiang Li asked in confusion.

Snape was stuck by her question.

Yes, that's why he has to be sneaky.

It must be that in his previous life, that idiot Harry was always stealing things and that led him astray in his thinking.

"Let's go."

Jiang Li stood up, patted the wrinkles on his suit pants, looked at Snape and said, "Pomona should still be in the greenhouse taking care of the herbs. We can buy them from her. I believe she will not refuse my request."

The white shirt she wore was neat and flawless, with the collar slightly open, exuding a kind of casual laziness. When she glanced at people sideways, there was a hint of unruliness, which was completely inconsistent with her righteous face.

No matter how many times Snape looked at it, it always felt strange.

"Do you really have to use this image? Can't you use your previous appearance?"

"I also want to change back, but Dumbledore said that this image of mine is better and that I can teach at Hogwarts in this appearance to avoid being discovered by the Death Eaters."

In fact, Jiang Li also likes this face very much. She found that many students would blush secretly when they saw her.

He is worthy of being her senior brother. After all, in another world, his appearance is still superior.

Moreover, he could amuse Snape. Jiang Li found it very funny to see an indescribable expression appear on his serious face.

The two of them walked out while talking.

The door of the alchemy room was closed.

The black soul lying quietly in the crystal ball suddenly reacted.

A black gas passed through the gap in the crystal ball and slowly extended outward, trying to attach to the alchemical instrument on the snake head next to it.

The black gas surged little by little and crawled in another direction.

Just when it was about to succeed, a silver sword pierced directly into the black residual soul, instantly destroying it.

Jiang Li, who had originally left, suddenly appeared in the alchemy, holding the Sword of Gryffindor in his hand.

"I was wondering why you were so quiet these past few days. Turns out you were planning to run away."

Jiang Li checked the Parseltongue translator and saw that it was not contaminated by the residual soul. His expression looked slightly better.

She just deliberately squeezed Snape's hand to tell him not to remind the remnant soul of things that were not locked up properly, wanting to see what it was going to do.

As soon as she went out, she used the Disillusionment Spell and came back, and saw the sneaky actions of the ghost dog.

If I were to go find the basilisk without any precautions and bring this Parseltongue translator with me, I would probably be tricked by its remnant soul and lose my life.

Jiang Li crushed the remaining soul mercilessly. The black Horcrux in the other crystal ball trembled, as if frightened by her actions.

Seeing this, Jiang Li poked the crystal ball and warned in a cold voice: "I know you can hear what I say. No matter what you want to do, you'd better be honest."

If these residual souls were not of research value, Jiang Li would have destroyed them long ago.

"how's it going?"

Snape waited at the door until Jiang Li came out and asked him seriously.

"You're right, he did intend to kill us."

Jiang Li played with the crystal ball that he had not killed in his hand. The black Horcrux that was active before was now motionless. No one knew what bad thing it was up to.

She put the crystal ball back into her bracelet and said to Snape, "Lucius said Voldemort gave him a notebook. I guess that one should be the Horcrux."

"Shall we pick it up later?" asked Snape.

Jiang Li did not answer, but asked Snape: "Why do you think Voldemort gave the Horcrux to Lucius?"

Can't we just hide those Horcruxes somewhere else? Asking subordinates to hide them is too obvious.

He had previously given Bella the Hufflepuff gold cup.

If it were her, she would just throw the Horcrux into the sea and not give it to anyone, so as to avoid people discovering that there was something wrong with the Horcrux.

"Do you think that Voldemort gave the Horcrux to Lucius in order to plot against him?" Snape answered sharply.

Jiang Li gave him an approving look.

"Don't you think Lucius is perfect in every way? Born a pure-blood wizard, handsome, with status and money.

If I had to choose someone to be the carrier of my split soul, I would definitely choose someone like Lucius. "
