Any reasoning must be based on clues before it can begin.
Any conclusion must be based on evidence.
Without evidence, everything is empty talk.
Voldemort's meaning was very simple. If Gu Moli's speculation only went this far, even if it was close to the truth, or even could be said to be the truth behind the scenes, Voldemort would not admit it. In the end, I'm afraid he would have to go back to the game line where the player and Voldemort fought to the death.
"But now that I've said it, there's evidence."
Gu Moli's expression remained unchanged. He simply stretched out his right hand and raised three fingers.
"There are three pieces of evidence in total."
"If this place is a prison, then several conditions must be met. First, entry and exit are prohibited. Second, there are prisoners inside. Finally..."
"... If there is a prison, there must be locks, right?"
"What do you think the locks that restrict entry and exit of the prison are?"
Without Gu Moli having to finish his words, Hua Qiong naturally continued, "Seven Horcruxes!"
"correct."
"The existence of the seven Horcruxes is the first evidence! If this place is not a prison, then what is the use of the seven Horcruxes? Why is there such a setting in the script? Even making it a part of the hero's trial? There is no doubt that the seven Horcruxes play a vital role in this script."
"According to my inference, this is probably the case."
"The seven Horcruxes are the locks of the prison. It is impossible for the prisoners to break them themselves, so the prisoners came up with the idea of relying on us players to unlock them."
“When I entered the script earlier, the last line YOU KNOW WHO IS ING BACK was a hint of the criminal, and also a trap of the script, the purpose of which was to direct the player’s attention to the character of Voldemort.”
"Then comes the Trial of the Seven Horcruxes."
"As Hua Qiong said, the trial of the seven Horcruxes is not difficult, and the locations where they are placed are very interesting. Basically, they are places that can be found with a little imagination. Slytherin's locket is placed in Umbridge's office, and Marvolo Gaunt's ring is placed in Dumbledore's office..."
"... So, finding the Horcrux itself is not difficult."
"But the criminal's cleverness lies in that he uses the matter of finding the Horcruxes to give the players a deeper hint, making them feel that this is actually a conspiracy by Voldemort to weaken the players and even use it to revive. Someone will undoubtedly fall into it. Only a fool would believe the hint of the Horcruxes."
Hua Qiong: “… Tsk!”
Ignoring Hua Qiong's unhappy expression, Gu Moli continued, "After that, it's a natural progression to the Battle of the Chamber of Secrets. After the players have gone through so much trouble to kill the basilisk, they will face the final boss, Voldemort. And with the background of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, everyone will immediately think of a way to deal with Voldemort."
"Destroy the Horcrux."
"With the tusk of a basilisk."
"... .In this way, everything goes according to the prisoner's script. The player goes through a difficult life-and-death battle, and when Voldemort is careless, he destroys all the Horcruxes with his snake fangs, probably by colliding the power of the locks with each other, thus causing them to self-destruct."
"In short, the final result is that all seven Horcruxes are destroyed, Voldemort dies naturally, and then the players type GG amid laughter and joy."
"Because the prisoner has successfully escaped."
"This is the criminal's plan that I hypothesized. Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Strictly speaking, it is just to make up the numbers and cannot be called evidence."
"The real evidence is the evidence I took the initiative to create."
At this point, Gu Moli pointed to the Sword of Gryffindor (Physical) on the ground, and said with a twitch in his mouth: "It's this damn thing."
“… … .”
Hearing this, Voldemort, who had been listening, finally raised his head: "Why do you say that?"
"And why?"
"Do you think I don't know that the real Sword of Gryffindor is behind Dumbledore's portrait? I took the fake sword on purpose from the beginning!"
"This is a difficult ranked scenario. In this scenario, all the settings should be very strict. I clearly got a fake Sword of Gryffindor, so it's impossible for me to pass the basilisk level. It's like playing Vayne and getting a set of AP equipment. It's completely useless."
"But what?"
"But he took out this thing from the box! Do you think I don't know it? It's a modified and enhanced version of the Metal Storm Weapon Launch System. What era do you think this weapon is from? It's not something that existed in Harry Potter's era. The appearance of this thing..."
"... ... It doesn't fit the setting of a difficult script at all!"
"There is only one truth!"
"Someone tampered with it?"
"Who could that be? It could only be the mastermind behind this!"
"So after I saw Hua Qiong take out this thing, I was basically certain that my hypothesis was at least 70% correct. Even if it wasn't a prisoner, it at least showed that there was a mastermind behind everything."
"Voldemort... or rather, the unknown Mr. Blackhand? What else do you have to say?"
“… … .”
After a long time, Voldemort grinned, but his appearance did not change, nor did he show any intention of revealing his true face. He just changed his tone and voice. Although his appearance did not change, the feeling he gave people was that he changed from an arrogant and domineering Dark Lord to a well-educated and nobleman.
"Smart human, you can call me Astaroth."
"Astaroth..."
This name is very interesting.
Gu Moli murmured a few words in a low voice, then changed the subject: "Since you have taken the initiative to come out, it means that my guesses just now were all correct?"
"good."
Voldemort... or rather Astaroth smiled and said, "Your wisdom has won my approval. Wisdom is not only the most precious wealth, but also a treasure bestowed by God. You and I are both blessed by God, so I will naturally not hide anything. Besides, there is nothing to hide."
"Although your speculation lacks some details, it is basically correct."
"But there is one thing I am curious about."
"You said before that there were three pieces of evidence, but you only mentioned two. What is the last piece of evidence?"
"The last one?"
Gu Moli curled his lips: "Oh, that, in fact, that is the main evidence that I am sure there is a mastermind behind this."
"... ..tell me about it."
"Albus Dumbledore is dead."
"... .Huh?"
After saying this, Astaroth was stunned: "What's the problem with this? After being severely injured by Marvolo Gaunt's dark magic and being weak, he stared at the basilisk under Voldemort's conspiracy and finally died... In my calculations, this kind of plot is not impossible, right?"
"Stop it!"
Hearing this, Gu Moli clenched his fists, and finally revealed a bit of anger under his calm face: "Albus Dumbledore will not be killed because of such a small matter!"
"... No, actually it is possible..."
“Nonsense!”
Gu Moli said confidently: "Even if he really encountered the situation you described, Dumbledore would definitely hold the Elder Wand in his left hand and the Sword of Gryffindor in his right hand, and then with the help of Fawkes, he would kill the basilisk in a flash."
“… ..I can’t understand.”
Astaroth blinked in confusion: "But my wisdom tells me that in that situation, Dumbledore has about a 53% chance of being killed. I thought you thought so too..."
"fart!"
At this moment, Gu Moli's eyes widened. Although he had been denying it in front of Hua Qiong before, at this moment, he was undoubtedly a die-hard Harry Potter fan. He looked as if his favorite character had been denied. He was incredibly angry.
"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world!"
"How could he be killed by a basilisk?"
"If this happens, there must be something wrong with the script!"
