"Tom, let me out, or you'll only have my body left." Lamia said dyingly. Although she had lost all her strength and her face remained expressionless, the seriousness in her tone did not sound like a joke.

Time passed minute by minute, but Tom still did not move. Even when Lamia was about to suspect that Tom would watch her die, her eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a hole in the thin film that wrapped Lamia, as if it was torn open from the outside. As the liquid inside continued to seep out, the hole became visibly larger, and Lamia finally saw the outside.

It turned out that she had been in the basement all the time, and Tom was guarding next to her. Lamia then realized that the tentacles really did not convey what she said to Tom, but he heard it himself.

"Lamia, I want you to promise to come back to me every 5 days, no, every 3 days, otherwise I will really come to you." Tom said. Although he used a negotiating tone, he did not give Lamia any chance to bargain. It was more like he had already made an agreement with Lamia.

"Five days, or I'll go back." Lamia said. If she really had to come here every three days, Lamia would go crazy. She felt suffocated here all the time.

"Okay." Tom agreed immediately, as if he was afraid that Lamia would go back on her word. He also personally brought a blank piece of paper and asked Lamia to write down her promise on it.

After Lamia took the paper, she discovered that there was not even a servant in Tom's new mansion, and none of his former loyal Death Eaters were there. It was so unexpected.

In Lamia's impression, Tom would never be a person who would serve others, but now he would help her get things, and after she wrote, he personally cast spells and various protective spells on them with his wand.

"Where are your servants, Tom?" asked Lamia.

"not here."

Tom didn't respond directly. He seemed to be hiding some secret, one that even Lamia couldn't be told.

"Tom, don't tell me you sent them all to fight Dumbledore." Lamia said helplessly. She didn't dare to think about it. If that was the case, it must be because of what she did last time. Only now did she realize how bad the kidnapping trick she had thought of at that time was.

Even if Tom didn't say anything, Lamia could still feel that she was right, and Tom obviously wanted to hide it from her. Did he know that her last escape was related to Dumbledore's help?

The more Lamia thought about it, the more she felt that Tom still didn't understand. His opposition to Dumbledore might be related to his ambition, but Lamia felt that he also had his own reasons.

Through the review just now, Lamia guessed that Tom would never believe that an unknown person would break into Malfoy Manor and take Lamia away. He would rather believe that Lamia left on her own, but his anger had to find an outlet, so Dumbledore, who had always resisted him, became the target.

Based on Lamia's understanding of him, Tom's excuse will definitely arouse everyone's sympathy.

"Tom, are you spreading the word that your wife was killed by Dumbledore?"

Lamia made a random guess, but Tom's body, which was not moving at all, suddenly stiffened. He seemed to not know how to answer, so he simply didn't answer Lamia's question, but Lamia still knew the answer.

That's how Tom spread it, and it might be worse than she said.

Lamia was still guessing, while on the other side, Tom had completed all the operations and put the paper in his hand into a space that Lamia could not feel.

"Is it over?" Lamia said.

"It's finished, but we're not done," Tom corrected, adjusting his collar leisurely. "Besides, you're my wife, my Mrs. Riddle."

His dark eyes suddenly looked directly at Lamia, and the emotion in them made Lamia feel the urge to retreat for the first time.

"That's good. I'll be leaving first. I have something else to do." Lamia said, while calling out to the system in her heart, but received no response.

"Really? But I don't want you to leave." Tom still stared at Lamia, and he really seemed to be determined not to let her go.

"We've discussed this, Tom." Lamia frowned, slapped away Tom's hand that had been placed on her waist at some point, and said seriously.

"Do you really want to leave?"

"I have to leave, Tom. I don't belong here. Besides, I will definitely come back." Lamia patted Tom's head, which was lowered because of a little loss. The atmosphere between the two became inexplicably friendly. Of course, this was only Lamia's one-sided feeling.

For Tom, Lamia was trying every possible means to leave him, even at the risk of her life, so how could he be happy?

"Okay." Tom said with difficulty.

As soon as Tom finished speaking, the system's voice rang.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The transmission conditions have been met and the transmission is in progress.]

Then she felt dizzy. Before she lost consciousness, Lamia saw Tom's eyes, which showed possession, reluctance, and forbearance, but not worry.

He didn't seem worried at all about Lamia not returning. Why? Was it because of the promise she'd written? Impossible. Lamia had seen the spells Tom had cast before. There was no spell that would punish someone for breaking a promise.

What the hell is that?

Lamia was puzzled, but after a while, she fell into a coma and lost the ability to continue thinking about the question.

When she opened her eyes again, Lamia was back in the familiar room, which was exactly the same as when she left.

"System, is there a reward this time?"

Lamia asked, even though she didn't get anything useful from the timeline provided by the system last time.

But Lamia believed that it was only because her arrival changed the original course of events, and she had only seen a very small part of it. The rest she had only glanced at briefly, and it would not be turned into memory and taken out of the system space.

Even so, Lamia still hopes to get another chance to read the approximate events from the system. Maybe nothing will change this time, then she will become the only person who knows the future development and will be far ahead.

[I'm sorry, host, you didn't successfully complete the mission this time... System error... Restarting...]

Lamia thought the system had returned to normal, but it was still like this.

"System, that's enough. I don't want the reward." Lamia said. She got up from the bed and walked outside. Lamia now didn't know how long she had been in the dream, and of course she didn't know what the situation was outside.

When I opened the door, it was pitch black outside. There were only a few dim lights in the corridor, and not even a single person could be seen.

Yes, it's night time now.

Lamia closed the door. The timing of her return this time was very wrong. It was already night time, and she had no chance to ask Hermione and the others what happened afterwards.

It was not until noon the next day that Lamia found Hermione. She was not in her room. You know, Lamia went to look for her at seven in the morning, but did not find Hermione in the room.

Lamia ran almost all over Hogwarts and finally found Harry, Hermione and the others in Lupin's office.
