Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

The city of London should be called the city of Greater London, with a total of 32 urban areas under its jurisdiction.

The city center is centered on the city of London. The twelve urban areas outside London are called inner London, and the remaining twenty urban areas are collectively called outer London.

The city of London in the true sense should be a vast administrative area composed of three parts: London, inner London and outer London.

The entire administrative area is bounded by the Thames Canal, divided into the South and North areas, and is divided into famous buildings such as Buckingham Palace and No. 10 Downing Street, and divided into the East and West areas.

Under the influence of many factors such as geographical location, the Industrial Revolution and the World War, Greater London has formed a regional pattern of poverty in the east and rich in the west.

The nobles, wealthy and politicians live in the West District, while the East District is more of the place where the working class live and work.

The Woo's Orphanage, where Tom Riddle lived in his childhood, is located on the edge of the East End of London, which has a well-developed industrial but complex humanistic...

In the early 20th century, the influence of the Second Industrial Revolution was in full swing. Thanks to the convenient capacity of the Thames Canal, London's East End became one of the largest heavy industrial areas in the world at that time.

A large number of industrial jobs have attracted countless workers who come to make a living. People from different regions gather together will inevitably lead to the collision of different cultures and customs.

Countless cultural customs are colliding together, and many people are unwilling to assume the responsibility of being a parent for various reasons. Wu's Orphanage came into being in this environment.

"Wu's Orphanage is a private orphanage built in 1926. Its builder and manager is called Mrs. Cole."

The tall white walls surrounded a stable building in the center, with monotonous and cold colors, completely without the warm atmosphere that Wang Xuebin imagined.

Perhaps it was because Wang Xuebin was surprised that Dumbledore, wearing a linen windbreaker and a brown wide-brimmed top hat, tidied up his tie awkwardly, coughed lightly, and explained:

"Mrs. Cole, who built this orphanage, was once a military doctor. During the First World War, this Mrs. Cole also went to the battlefield.

After the end of World War I, she married a factory owner, but was unable to have children because of injuries. This may also be Mrs. Cole's original intention to establish this orphanage."

"A soldier who has been on the battlefield..."

Wang Xuebin looked at the building in front of him that looked like a concentration camp that was more than an orphanage, and nodded slightly. From this building alone, you can see that Mrs. Cole... perhaps she did not come out of the shadow of war.

"What about now? Why is this orphanage deserted?"

Looking at the rusty iron door hanging on the rusty iron door, Wang Xuebin turned his head and asked curiously.

Hearing Wang Xuebin's question, Dumbledore couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, then sighed and said in a sad tone:

"War...is still war... Mrs. Cole broke through World War I, but failed to escape the haze of World War II...

When Germany bombed London, Mrs. Cole was afraid that the orphanage building was too conspicuous, so she took the children to her factory to hide.

It’s a pity... Luckily, there was no shelter for them, and a bomb fell on their heads... After that... this orphanage has always been like this..."

“...so…”

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Wang Xuebin also became silent. War... How many people know that the two light words "speak" are filled with countless blood, tears and suffering?

Of course, Wang Xuebin just wanted to make a point. Dunhuang murals and female historical admonitions are still placed in the British Museum, so he can sympathize with it? Nonsense!

"After that, has Tom been back?"

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and pointed it at the lock that was rusted into iron lumps. A golden light broke through the rust and split.

"Huh... I should have been back once... According to a person living nearby, about twelve years ago, his daughter was lost nearby and never found again..."

The two of them looked around and saw that there was no one around, so they pushed open the creaking door and walked into the weedy orphanage.

The ground paved with stone bricks has long been corroded by rain and weeds, with moss under your feet all over the ground, and every step you take is in danger of slipping.

The yard is very empty, with no garden, no sculpture, no decorative buildings, and only stereotypes and monotony.

The background of the orphanage is white, but under the erosion of wind and rain, the gray walls have been exposed.

The wall was covered by a vine similar to a creeper. From a distance, it looked very gloomy and was really a good place to make horror movies.

When you approach the floor of the building, there are broken glass and wall skins that fall due to erosion. Occasionally, a small red leather shoe is the brightest color here.

"...The old man's daughter died here. On the second floor, she first cursed for life, and then was burned into nothingness by Li Huo, leaving nothing behind."

"That is, Tom came here twelve years ago?"

Dumbledore nodded and pushed open the wooden door of the building with force. There was also a lock on the wooden door, but it had been destroyed.

"I think yes, except Tom, there shouldn't be any other dark wizard who will come to this remote and deserted place intently!"

"I think so, there's nothing to see here..."

The walls in the corridor have cracked due to disrepair, which looks very dangerous.

The ceiling was drooping spider webs, and mice could be seen on the ground. The air was filled with a decay smell, impacting the nerves of the two.

"...To be honest, I'm a little curious. Is there anything here worth Tom missing? Why did he have to hide the Horcrux here?"

On the side, Dumbledore carefully avoided the half-pull wall hanging over his head, stepped onto the stairs that had been broken and had no effect on the door, and walked towards the room where Tom once lived on the second floor.

"...I think...not...as far as I know, Tom can't hate this place any more. He has applied to Principal Armando many times to stay at school during the summer vacation.

For him, this place represents his inferiority, cowardice, and unwilling to look back on the past. No one hates orphanage more than him!"

Following Dumbledore upward, a slight whisper appeared in Wang Xuebin's ears. The sound was low and full of temptation, as if a gentle hand was leading him into the abyss of desire.

Unfortunately, the owner of the voice is a bit short-sighted, and he will only revolve around things such as power, women's beauty, and strength.

It is probably a bit of a dream to tempt Wang Xuebin just by relying on these things.

"Since he doesn't like this place, why did he choose to hide something so important here?"

When I arrived at the second floor, the whisper became louder and louder, but neither Wang Xuebin nor Dumbledore turned a blind eye to it and went straight to the room in the deepest part of the corridor, gently pushing open the only intact door.

"I think..."

Looking at the table beside the window in the room, a golden cup standing there loomingly, Wang Xuebin and Dumbledore stopped together and their expressions became serious.

"...It should be that Tom has no other place to go..."
