Although Darren didn't know exactly what had happened, since Ginny was all right, and he had reunited with the group after being separated from the others, Lockhart and Percy decided to leave the place immediately, after all, there was still a basilisk that had lived for a thousand years was wandering in the pipes, and it was unknown when it would pop out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

These people have already seen its huge size, and they also know the terrifying lethality of the basilisk, and now there are six of them, among which Ginny is unconscious, Darren is embarrassed, one hand is basically unusable, and the only ones left can fight are Lockhart and Percy, as for Harry and Ron, in the eyes of others, it would be good if they could not cause trouble in this situation, as far as these people want to face the basilisk head-on, it is really impossible to say who will win and who will lose.

Fortunately, I don't know if the plumbing system in the secret room was too complicated, so that the basilisk couldn't find a way back for a while, and on the way out of the secret room, the basilisk did not appear, and soon, they returned to the door at the entrance of the secret room.

Standing at the bottom of the gate, looking at the ladder used to climb into the pipe in front of him, Darren felt deeply depressed again, because the injured hand was constantly reminding him through the pain that he would have to practice climbing the ladder with one hand later, which was very inconvenient in his previous experience.

Of course, Darren can also be like Ginny, choose to let others use the levitation charm to send him up, but when Ginny was just transported, in order to ensure safety, Lockhart and Percy have already gone to the pipe, look at Harry and Ron who are still with him, Darren feels that although it will be slower, it is more reliable to climb by himself, although the pipe connecting the gate is not too high from the ground, but it is also more than three meters, let these two guys release the levitation charm, in case it falls in the middle, now Darren is already injured, I really don't want to be injured again, not to mention the fall and bump, in a sense, it is similar……

Thinking of this, Darren couldn't help but wail in his heart, "Anyway, why am I the only one who is so unlucky and scarred that I am the only one who has come down from the five people!"

"Alright, come up!"

Hearing Percy's voice coming from above, in the pre-agreed order, Darren grabbed the ladder with one hand and pulled his body up to climb up, after all, a wounded man could not be left behind.

Similar to what he had just predicted, the process of climbing was indeed a very troublesome and painful thing, because only one hand could grasp the ladder, and when Darren climbed the ladder, he could only go up one step at a time, and after hooking the ladder with his other arm, he could only go up, and at this time, the consequences of the previous impact began to appear, and the slightest contact between the knees and elbows would cause severe pain, so that he could only use a very strange posture to move slowly.

"Darren, you're so ugly, like an old woman, I bet Neville's grandmother is better than you," Ron said teasingly.

"You bastard, if you were like me and knock all your bones apart, and then give your hands a barbecue, you won't be better at climbing the ladder than I am, damn it, it hurts, I'm so stupid, I knew it would be like this, I should have brought a broomstick. ”

"Alright, Darren, don't worry, just ......"

But before Harry could finish speaking, suddenly Darren heard a low metal grinding sound coming from overhead, and then heard Percy's panicked voice, "What's going on? this, this is? Hurry up, the door ......"

Then, with a dull crashing sound, Percy's voice disappeared, and only then did Darren react, the sound of metal rubbing, he had heard once, was the sound of the door of the secret room opening, but this time, this sound represented that the door was closed!

In desperation, Darren no longer cared about the pain, and climbed quickly with his hands staggered, he was already close to the end, and only a few seconds later he reached the mouth of the pipe of the gate, but he looked into the top of the ladder and saw that there was only darkness, where there should have been the light from Percy and Lockhart's wand......

In the darkness, Darren only felt cold all over his body, and it wasn't until someone pushed his leg down there that he realized that someone had come up from below.

"What's going on?" he asked eagerly, it turned out to be Ron.

"The gate, the gate is closed. ”

"Closed? What about Percy and Professor Lockhart?"

"I can't see them, I want to be outside the door. ”

"What? They're all out there? What ......?"

"Don't ask, come up and see for yourself, Harry, come up too. Darren climbed into the pipe inside the gate to make way for Ron and Harry.

"I suddenly heard the sound of the door on the ladder, and Percy's words, as if the door was suddenly closed, whatever it was, Harry, hurry up and open the door, I don't feel good. Looking at the expression on Ron's face, Darren knew that he was recovering from the shock, and the next words must be to complain that the door was closed because he was climbing too slowly, so it was best to solve this problem as soon as possible in order to avoid trouble.

This is normal, the natural reaction of human beings, a protective mechanism, when encountering an accident, always looking for a responsible person at the first time, so that you can detach yourself from the matter and look at the problem from a more detached angle, so that it is easier for yourself to accept what happened, even if it is useless to change your situation, you can also gain some sense of security.

After all, many times, it can be very painful to accept reality comprehensively and objectively, and Darren used to be the same......

At this time, Darren heard the sound of Harry's shoes colliding with the railing of the ladder as he climbed the ladder, but in addition to the sound of Harry climbing the ladder, he also heard another sound, which had followed him closely not long ago, the rubbing of the basilisk crawling on the floor.

"Damn, it's the basilisk, it's here again, Harry, hurry up!" Darren immediately shouted, of course, he didn't forget to turn his body and turn his back to the outside of the passage, even though there was no longer Lockhart's magic orb, there was a dim green light in the chamber itself, so if he met the basilisk in the eye, he could still be killed.

"No, it's too late, it's in the pipe next to it......"

Then, with a dull hissing sound, Darren felt a violent vibration of the pipes around him, and heard a loud bang from below, mixed with the sound of metal twisting and tearing.

The basilisk has attacked Harry!
