Chapter 691 The Double Agent
What is the most important thing about a double agent?
trust.
Both parties must trust to be considered a qualified double agent.
If he could become the confidant of both parties at the same time, he would be considered a high-end spy.
If this double agent can let both sides know that he is a spy sent by the other side, but still trust him... that is really a god-like existence.
This is undoubtedly difficult, like dancing with your feet on the tip of a knife.
But Dumbledore was making Snape do it.
The headmaster sent Snape back and asked him to tell Voldemort clearly... Dumbledore sent him back to be a spy and lurk beside Voldemort.
Is this sentence true?
Of course it is true!
The unmistakable truth.
Could it be truer than that?
But would Voldemort believe it?
Of course I will believe it!
Then knowing the truth, would he kill Snape?
will not!
The crux of the problem is not whether Snape is a spy sent back by Dumbledore, but... Voldemort felt in his heart:
Who Snape really is, whose ass is exactly the shape.
If it was his Voldemort shape, then Snape's move was undoubtedly very clever.
He can effectively paralyze Dumbledore, gain his trust, and act as a double agent.
Trust means more Dumbledore's intelligence!
If Snape was Dumbledore's man, and really a spy sent by him... no, what spy would be so stupid as to tell someone he was a spy?
impossible!
Therefore, Voldemort would not kill Snape, but would trust him and let him collect information by the way.
This is an extremely high-end psychological game.
The winner or the loser is Snape... It depends on his heart, who belongs to it.
Anyway, William listened in a daze. Dumbledore's unreasonable move was really deep and shallow.
As expected of Dumbledore, a master chess player!
Compared with the Wormtail that Tom sent to Voldemort, I really don't know how many floors are higher!
William wanted to be a spy and sent it to Voldemort.
Spies are still needed.
After all, Snape was Dumbledore's man, so he would not tell William any important information.
William was still thinking about spy candidates, and Snape had finished talking with Dumbledore.
But he didn't move. Instead, he lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and said hoarsely:
"Potter..."
"He's not dead."
Snape looked at the Headmaster suspiciously.He has seen the body, and he said he is not dead? !
"I'll let William bring him back." Dumbledore picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Trust me, Harry is not dead, Severus, you go."
Snape's lips twitched, and he glanced at William, seemingly dissatisfied, but left in a hurry.
Professor Snape left, and William looked at Dumbledore, hoping for an explanation.
"Voldemort has been resurrected." Dumbledore said succinctly.
William frowned.Although I had been prepared for a long time, when I heard the news, I was still a little... uncomfortable.
Voldemort is finally back!
The Dark Lord... has come to the world again!
"You know, William." Dumbledore quickly explained the source of the information.
"Professor Snape was once a Death Eater, and he still has the Dark Mark on his arm.
It was charred black two hours ago.It was an order, and Voldemort summoned the Death Eaters to appear immediately. "
"Karkaroff had already fled because of fear. Malfoy left quietly at the end of the game. It seems that he should go to his master."
Dumbledore's intelligence is very well-informed, there is nothing he does not know.
The information is here, and it is inevitable that William will not believe that Voldemort has been resurrected.
"How did he resurrect, and in which way?" William asked in a low voice.
"It's not clear yet." Dumbledore shook his head.
"He wants to be resurrected, there's a lot of ancient magic, and he might invent some himself."
This is true.
Four years ago, Voldemort used Quirrell to sneak into Hogwarts in an attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone and perform some kind of resurrection ceremony.
Tom in the diary was also successfully resurrected by magic.
There are two methods.
Since Voldemort created the Horcruxes, although he was confident, he would definitely prepare a lot of magic in advance out of caution.
Once an accident occurs, it can be used according to local conditions.
Dumbledore crossed his hands and continued: "As for the way he chose, I'm not sure yet, but..."
The principal showed a slightly puzzled expression.
"I thought he was going to take Harry and use his blood to bring him back to life."
"Why do you say that?" William asked.
"Because in Harry's blood, there is the magic left by his mother Lily - the prehistoric mystery related to love." Dumbledore explained softly.
"Fourteen years ago, Voldemort bounced back from his own Death Curse, and he probably didn't even notice the magic at the time.
But four years ago, when he was attached to Quirrell, he couldn't touch Harry... He must have noticed then. "
William nodded and said, "I see, Voldemort is afraid of this power, so he wants it."
Dumbledore sighed: "But he doesn't seem to have chosen this way...it shouldn't be."
"What do I need to do?" William asked.
"I need you to see everything—Harry, Ron, and those Durmstrang students, and investigate why they were killed," Dumbledore said quickly.
William nodded slightly, this is still very easy.
Because these people all died in school.
As long as you don't leave school, it's very simple.
Dumbledore suddenly sharpened his eyes, and whispered:
"William, don't try to prevent Voldemort from being resurrected.
The condition for you to leave the time loop is to complete the thought you entered.If you can't, you can't end the time loop. "
The Bronze Ring was bewitched by Ravenclaw, and something had to be done to end the cycle.
For example, when William first entered the time loop, it was he who wanted to gain insight into the events of Tywin.
If he deliberately didn't investigate, he would stay inside.It wasn't until he investigated clearly that the cycle was finally over.
Moreover, because the Bronze Ring was run by Hogwarts, William could not leave the school grounds.
Investigating how Voldemort came back to life is about to leave Hogwarts.
If you go into the loop with this thought, you end up stuck in it forever.
William nodded cautiously.
He did have a moment just now, trying to stop the idea of Voldemort's resurrection.
Now that the conversation was over, William stood up and was about to leave the principal's office.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and asked:
"Is it really okay for Professor Snape to meet Voldemort like this?"
Although from the perspective of psychological games, Voldemort will believe him, but don't forget... this is a magical world.
There are so many ways to get a person to speak the truth.
"Don't worry." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Snape is a master of potions, he won't take Veritaserum.
He's also such a master of Occlumency that even I can't see through what he's really thinking.
Voldemort... as well. "
William thought for a while and asked again:
"Why do you trust Professor Snape so much?"
Snape's responsibilities were heavier than anyone else's.One careless move could kill many people.
Dumbledore glanced out the window, he was silent for a long time and said:
"Voldemort believed that only great power could overwhelm all.
I do not believe.
It seems to me that ordinary things, ordinary people's love, ordinary acts of kindness and love, can restrain the darkness.
The reason why I believe in Severus Snape may be because he can make me see courage when I am afraid. "
……
……
It's a huge room,
Professor Snape was lying on the table, writing a letter with his head down, his huge aquiline nose almost touched the letter.
There is this kerosene lamp on the table, as well as a group photo and a bouquet of lilies.
The photo has a long history and has a sense of historical vicissitudes: it shows a man and a woman, both of whom are only about ten years old, and the background is a playground with almost no people.
The girl was swinging, and a skinny boy pushed the swing behind her.
This is Snape's most secret place, he always likes to stay here when he is alone.
He was going to find Voldemort in a moment.
If the Dark Lord didn't believe him, he would surely die.
All hope is pinned on Dumbledore's guess.
It's a gamble... Snape felt that his life was not his own on that night 14 years ago.
People like him... are not afraid of gambling!
Dumbledore always said that time heals all wounds.
A person will one day forget the pain and get better.
Will not.
Some pains will never be forgotten, and some injuries will never heal.
Snape gently folded the letter and put it in an envelope.
Instead of stamping it, he put it in a drawer.
This letter, like the letter in that drawer, is a memory he wrote to a certain girl but could never send.
That's it.
Snape closed the drawer, stood up and left.
