While Li Wei was still in high spirits, Professor Snape actually put on a gentle expression and made another tentative suggestion:
"You've already taught me the Soul Extraction Spell, Li Wei. How about letting me keep the Resurrection Stone as well?"
"I'd only be keeping it temporarily, and I wouldn't keep it for nothing!
"I'll give you a powerful spell in return—a unique spell I invented myself, called Sectumsempra!"
"Just like its name suggests, it lets you unleash an invisible sharp blade, catching your enemies off guard and easily defeating them. There's even a counterspell, so you don't have to worry about causing irreparable consequences!"
"What do you think, Li Wei? Think it over?"
Li Wei, who had been laughing happily, froze at once. He could not help leaning forward and sticking out his head to carefully examine Professor Snape before him.
"Who are you? Did you drink Polyjuice Potion?
"That old bat, Professor Snape, would never talk like this!"
Li Wei openly mocked Professor Snape. Of course, he knew the Professor Snape before him was the real one.
He understood even more clearly that Snape was speaking so out of character because he wanted the Resurrection Stone in his hands.
In the entire Wizarding World, there was probably no one who wanted the Resurrection Stone more than Snape did!
Professor Snape probably dreamed of obtaining the Resurrection Stone, then summoning the phantom of Mrs. Lily Potter's departed soul and pouring out all the love and memories in his heart to her!
But precisely because of that, Li Wei could not give the Resurrection Stone to Professor Snape!
It was not because he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Snape or torture him. Rather, the endings of people who did that in storybooks had long since been written!
