"Bang!"

Until now, Ron still doesn't know what the other party's so-called "gift" is.

It was just covered with a black fine flannelette. It looked like a long rectangle. It was carried by several high-ranking corpses that Ron had never seen, and fell gently but heavily on the floor of the hall.

As they carried the thing by, Ron intuitively felt a bone chilling chill - which made him really not want to get close.

But he didn't move, but someone moved first.

Just after those high-level corpses put down their "gifts" and kept a quiet and low-key to withdraw from the hall again, Ron was extremely vigilant to see that the black figure sitting lazily on the high steps finally got up from the throne and walked down step by step for the first time today.

"Don't you come and 'open the gift'? I heard that the gift can show its greatest value only when it is opened by hand... Isn't it?" the devil slowly walked to the gift and looked at Ron road not far away, "Besides, I said don't worry, you don't have to worry - if I want to do something to you and 'you', I don't need any tricks."

This is a big truth. At least in the face of a mere Ron Weasley, the devil really doesn't need to use unnecessary tricks, even Ron himself thinks so.

Even if the other party is going to force Ron to accept this "gift", Ron will never be able to make any resistance. Whether he wants to or not, he can only obey.

This is not only a gap in strength, but also a gap in the situation. No one can deny it.

So

"OK."

Ron secretly clenched his teeth and didn't know how much hard psychological preparation he had made. He finally took a few steps forward, stretched out his right hand and slowly grabbed the black flannel covered on the "gift".

The chill, indeed, was so cold that Ron's already weak hand could not help shivering. It was so cold that he felt his bones tingling.

Is this the psychological effect caused by incomparable tension, or the residual symptoms of the previous pain and suffering along the way?

No, neither! Ron knows that these factors, if any, will never be the main reason.

He's shaking because he's cold! It's really cold!

The biting cold through the black flannelette quietly shrouded a small space near it, making Ron subconsciously shrink his neck.

Is it just a big ice lump under this?

Ron thought so, but he also knew that there was no room to shrink back, so he simply stopped thinking. He just took another half step forward, accelerated his speed like a broken jar, and then grabbed the black cloth on it with his frozen right hand like a chicken claw and suddenly opened it to one side.

"Wow -"

The black flannelette rose in the air, then floated aside with Ron's hand, and fell quietly on the floor. Therefore, the so-called "gift", which has been covered up until now, finally revealed its mysterious true face.

Then Ron was stunned.

"Really... Just an ice lump?"

It was a large rectangular ice block. It seemed to be cut very neatly. Every edge and corner were complete without any defects and cracks.

However, probably because of the water vapor in the air, the incomparable cold makes its smooth mirror like surface covered with a thick but soft frost. Just now it was moved in by several high-level corpses, so several clear impressions can be seen on the lower edge of the large ice.

Somehow, Ron suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of deja vu about it.

While Ron stared at the ice and was stunned there, he heard the devil on the other side speak again.

"Ice lump"? Oh, of course not - it's not the ice that matters. The gift is still in the ice. "

As soon as the other party said this, Ron's familiar feeling suddenly turned into a very bad premonition. This was not because of the danger of the ice lump in front of him, but... He suddenly found that he seemed to understand where the familiar feeling in his heart came from!

This is an ice coffin! Just like the great wizard Albus Dumbledore who sleeps on the Bank of Hogwarts lake, he is also sleeping in the special ice in front of him. It is obviously a circle smaller than Dumbledore's mouth.

Of course, this is not the most critical thing right now. The key thing is, who will fall asleep in this ice coffin?

After thinking about it, Ron never thought of an answer he could be sure of - too many possibilities, but too few at the same time. At least, what can lie here and let the devil in front of him as a "gift" is certainly not just an unknown person who died innocently under the living corpse.

So to tell the truth, Ron was afraid to reach out again. He was afraid that when he wiped off the frost, he would see a figure that hurt his heart.

So Ron suddenly raised his head again and stared at the devil opposite with anger in his eyes. What fear, what worry, disappeared for a moment, because for him, the unknown hidden in the ice coffin in front of him is probably the most frightening thing at the moment.

However, the tall figure standing on the other side of the ice coffin still looked so calm and calm.

"Oh, don't look at me like that... I seem to have said at the beginning that this is a 'gift' that I want to convey goodwill and friendship to you. In fact, it took me a lot of effort and risk to 'steal' it from a very dangerous place... Mr. Weasley, you should understand that it is actually not very different from me Big relationship. "

As for this, perhaps the other party didn't want Ron to waste his time so much anymore. Suddenly, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and "stabbed" on the surface of the ice covered with ice crystals and frost.

For a moment, a piece of frost was wiped aside, revealing a smooth and transparent ice surface.

Whether Ron wanted it or not, the other party's move immediately made him subconsciously follow the action of the hand and turn his eyes to the ice.

It seems a little dark in the cold ice. This should be because except this one, the other sides are still covered with cold frost and can't penetrate too much light.

But that's enough... That's enough, because Ron has seen a familiar face there.

"This... How... Possible?"
