"Basilisk, what's that?"

Seeing Harry and Hermione looking at him curiously, Evan pulled out a page from his bosom that had been torn from the very old library book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is the information he specially prepared a few days ago, and he has been carrying it with him all the time, just to deal with the current situation.

"This is an introduction to the basilisk, but don't tell Mrs. Pince, the caretaker, she won't let me enter the library if she knows I've destroyed the library. ”

Harry and Hermione took the page and read it eagerly:

In our country, there are many terrible beasts and monsters, the most bizarre and deadly of which is the basilisk, also known as the snake king.

The snake can become very large, usually living for hundreds of years, and it hatches from a male egg from a toad. In addition to its deadly fangs, the basilisk's glare can also cause death, and anyone who catches its gaze will die instantly.

The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk because the basilisk is the spider's sinister enemy, and the basilisk will only run for its life if it hears the rooster's crow, because the rooster's crow is also fatal to it.

"Because the basilisk is the spider's mortal enemy, that's why Aragog is scared and wants to run away, I see, Aven!"

It was as if someone had suddenly lit a light in Harry's mind, and he said excitedly, "The monster hiding in the secret room is a basilisk, no wonder every time there is an attack, I can hear that voice, but no one else can hear it, because I can understand the Parseltongue!"

Look at this sentence, whoever the basilisk's eyes look at, will die. ”

Hermione pointed to a sentence on the page, "But no one died in the school?"

"That's because none of them are looking directly at it. "Do you two remember the puddle of water on the ground at the site of the first attack, Filch's cat, Lady Loris, must have seen the reflection in the water, and that's why she was petrified?" ”

With that said, during the second attack, Penelope saw the basilisk through the weeping myrtle. According to Evan's train of thought, Hermione analyzed, "Myrtle is staring at the basilisk, but she can't die a second time." ”

"As for Justin, when we found him, he was covered in mirror shards, and he saw the basilisk around the corner from the big mirror at the entrance to the basement, and he was petrified and fell backwards, shattering the mirror. ”

"Wait, I still don't understand. Harry hesitated, "If the basilisk is really as big as the book says, how did he crawl around the school without being noticed?"

"It's the pipe, Harry!" Evan explained, "it's always moving in the pipe, so you can always hear the sound inside the wall." ”

Hermione looked eagerly at the page in her hand again, her heart becoming brighter and brighter.

The rooster's crowing was fatal to him, too! Once the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the Slytherin heirs did not want roosters near the castle, and almost every one of them corresponded. ”

"Except that we don't know who the heir of Slytherin is, and who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

Seeing Harry and Hermione suddenly turn their heads to look at him in unison, Evan had to show a wry smile, "Don't look at me, I don't know who that person is." ”

"We need to go through the clues at hand, it was Voldemort who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, killed the weeping Myrtle, and then wronged Hagrid for all of this. Hermione said, "We now know that the monster hiding inside the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, Hagrid's rooster has been killed, Ron has been under the Imperius Curse, and that Slytherin heir must be among us." ”

"It's too difficult for someone outside the school to do that, and Professor Dumbledore can't possibly not know it. Wait, it's certainly no coincidence that we picked up a strange diary on Christmas Day, which belonged to a student Tom Riddle fifty years ago, but nothing was written on it. ”

"Riddle received the Special Contribution Award from the school fifty years ago. Harry added, "Ron and I saw the trophy in the school prize room. ”

"Special Contribution Award, it shouldn't be that he solved the secret room incident at that time. Hermione frowned, "But Hagrid said it was Voldemort who caught him!"

The atmosphere was unusually silent, and they all thought of a possibility.

"Tom Riddle is Voldemort!" Evan whispered for a long time.

"Aven, where's that journal?" Hermione said pale, "it's unbelievable that we've kept Voldemort's stuff with us. We'll have to give it to Dumbledore, it's probably a dark magic object. ”

"Don't worry, it's here, I've always carried it with me" Evan touched that there was nothing on his body, he was stunned for a moment, and his face changed drastically, "Oops, I forgot it in the common room when I came out just now." ”

The three men looked at each other and hurried towards the castle

In the diary, Tom Riddle felt inexplicable, even a little crazy.

Over the past four months, he'd revealed a lot of high-end forbidden magic knowledge, and managed to gain the trust of the Mudblood named Evan Mason.

But the other party suddenly didn't know what was going on, and forgot about him again, and there was no contact for a long time.

Could it be that his own plan has been discovered?!

Tom Riddle had just raised the idea and rejected it.

No matter how cunning that damn mudblood was, it was no more than an eleven-year-old child, and it was impossible to give up the powerful magical power at his fingertips.

In his opinion, Evan should be as obsessed with great power as he was at the beginning. He had even seen the loophole in Aven's mind, and he was just a little closer to being able to control him like the child before him.

But this abominable mudblood disappeared at the most critical moment, and all his hard work and meticulous planning were in vain.

If it were possible, how Tom Riddle wanted to rush out and kill Evan with an Arvada outright.

Just when he was hoping for this, the diary was suddenly opened, and it was the child who had been controlled by himself before.

It was simply wonderful, and Tom Riddle could feel the other person breathe life into the diary, regaining his strength to himself who was already a little weak.

It's time to put an end to everything, a sneer tugging at the corners of Tom Riddle's mouth as he comes up with a new plan to get revenge on that hateful mudblood.

He was to complete Salazar Slytherin's noble business and purify all of Hogwarts with his blood.
