Chapter 172: The True Heir

At the bottom of the "slide" is a cylindrical space filled with animal bones, with a circular passage more than a person high to their left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe four of them walked into the passage after a brief tidying up. After some "meandering", the passage comes to an end, and at the end is a low space with rocks above, as if in a cave.

"Fluorescent flicker!"

Bruce lit up the surroundings with a fluorescent charm, and the four of them realized that they seemed to be under a large mountain.

"Looks like this should be under the castle." Bruce guessed.

Hermione suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, what's there?" ”

The four of them looked and saw that there was a large piece of something resembling a "latex long tube" on the ground in front of them, but when they got closer to see what it was, a chill rose on everyone's back!

"What...... What the!? Lockhart's eyes widened and his eyes were full of fear, and he said tremblingly, "This ...... It seems to be snakeskin! ”

Hermione walked in and touched it, saying, "It's indeed the skin of a snake." ”

"Oh my God!" Ron was shocked and said, "That means the basilisk is at least 60 feet long!" ”

Hermione said solemnly, "No, it should be longer. The book says that the snake gets bigger with each layer of skin shedding. ”

At this time, what Bruce did not expect happened, Lockhart let out a moan, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

"Huh!" Ron looked at Lockhart, who had fainted on the ground, speechlessly, and said, "He's really bold enough." ”

Then Ron looked at the three of them and said, "If you want me to say just let him lie here, ...... anyway"

As he spoke, Lockhart suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his hands at Ron's waist, and immediately stood up after getting a wand, pointing his wand at the four of them with a smug smile.

"Haha! Weasley, I'm not a little daring. Lockhart said, "All right, boys! This is the end of the adventure. ”

Ron immediately stepped back and said, "You have to think clearly, Lockhart! ”

"Haha! I think very clearly, Mr. Weasley! Now please stand with your friends. Lockhart said with his wand pointing at Ron.

Hermione looked at her former idol angrily, and Lockhart laughed, "You don't have to look at me like that, Hermione. Rest assured, people will know about our deeds! I found the chamber, but I was too late to save her. And the four of you...... Because of the sight of her bloody corpse, I lost my memory in horror! ”

Bruce sneered, "Did you lose your memory because you were afraid, or did you clear your memory?" ”

"Haha!" Lockhart laughed, "You're really smart, Sterling!" You're such a genius, and I know you've been suspicious of me since the first day I came to this school. But I'm sorry, you're going to end up with the same people as before, you're going to lose your memory and you're going to ......"

"Then you will write our deeds into the book, and of course the protagonist will no longer be us and those people, but you, the great adventurer Gilderoy Lockhart!" Bruce said sarcastically.

Lohart nodded and sneered, "Very accurate, Bruce." ”

"Hmph, don't forget, we still have wands in our hands!" Bruce raised his wand and said coldly.

Lockhart laughed and said, "Haha, of course I do. But Bruce ...... Do you think I'm really what I seem? No, tell you! My greatest magic is to erase my memory, and you have no chance of winning! Well, it starts with you! Our little genius, say goodbye to your memories! ”

"Forget it!"

Lockhart waved his wand, and Bruce naturally didn't sit still, but at that moment, Ron suddenly pressed his hand, and then ......

"Boom!"

A cyan light flashed, and Lockhart flew upside down and fell to the ground.

“……”

The three of them looked at Lockhart who fell to the ground in amazement.

"What is he doing?" Bruce said in surprise.

Ron laughed, "He can't do anything because he's amnesia!" ”

As he spoke, Ron shook the "sword-shaped wand" that Bruce had made for him in his hand!

It turned out that the wand that Lockhart grabbed in a hurry just now turned out to be an old wand that Ron deliberately put on his waist to use the "anti-spell" in case of accidents, and it was because of this that he would stop Bruce.

"Haha!" Harry touched Ron's head excitedly and said, "You're yours, Ron!" What a great idea! ”

Ron laughed, "I didn't expect him to get this old wand, this time it's our fate." ”

At this moment, Lockhart, who fell to the ground, sat up and touched his head, looked at the four people in surprise and asked, "Hey, who are you?" ”

“……”

"What to do with him?" Hermione asked.

Bruce said, "Let him stay here and take him back when we get Ginny out." ”

"Agreed!"

Bruce uses a spell to put Lockhart to sleep, and the four of them move on. When they came to the end of the "cave", a round iron door appeared on the stone wall. There are six sinuous "pythons" on the iron gate, revealing only half of the torso. The head is facing the "door frame", as if biting the iron door to prevent others from entering.

"Harry, snake language!" Bruce said.

Harry nodded and opened the door in snake language again, and then saw a "python" emerge and start walking again at the edge of the door, and every time it came to a half-length python, the python shrank backwards.

All six pythons shrank back, and the door opened!

Inside is a short tunnel, through which they can vaguely see the "true face" of the chamber, and when they walk through the tunnel, there is an escalator in front of them, and below them is the real chamber.

A two-car wide walkway extends from here to the huge human-faced statue, and on both sides of the walkway is almost the same level of "water", on which many snake heads stand in an orderly manner.

They open their bloody mouths, spitting out snake cores and baring their fangs, as if they will pounce on you in the next second.

"This is the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets!" Bruce said as he recovered from the shock.

Harry nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go down!" ”

The four of them came up from the escalator to the top, and Bruce drew his wand and said, "Be vigilant, the basilisk will appear at any time!" ”

Harry, Hermione, and Ron immediately drew their wands, and the four of them walked forward vigilantly. At this time, Bruce, who was walking in the front, suddenly saw a person lying on the ground, and hurriedly said, "Ginny! ”

Ron hurriedly turned around to look, and sure enough, the little girl lying in front of the human-faced statue was none other than Ginny!

"Ginny!" Ron yelled and hurried over.

Bruce and the others hurriedly followed, and Ron immediately picked up Ginny but found that her body was unusually cold.

"Bruce, Harry, Hermione!" Ron hurriedly called for help from his friend, crying, "You see, Ginny's body is so cold, she ...... What's wrong with her? ”

Hermione hurriedly put her hand on Ginny's forehead and said, "There's no temperature at all!" ”

"I'll take a look!" Bruce crouched down and put his hand under Ginny's nose, and finally he felt a hint of warmth and said with relief, "She shouldn't be dead yet...... Something happened, it's just ...... I didn't know Ginny was ...... Who? ”

Suddenly, Bruce noticed footsteps behind him, and immediately stood up and aimed his wand at the darkness.

A figure appeared in the darkness, and Harry and Hermione immediately stood in front of Ginny and raised their wands.

Then the figure slowly emerges from the darkness, he is a student of Hogwarts, because he is wearing Slytherin robes.

He ...... Are you a student? Hermione asked, surprised, "But why haven't I seen him?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he said coldly: "He is indeed a student of Hogwarts, but it's normal that you haven't seen him, because he has been a student for fifty years!" ”

"What? Fifty years ago?! Hermione said in surprise.

"Tom?" Harry immediately said, "Tom Riddle! Is that you? ”

It was none other than Tom Riddle, who Harbruth and Harry had seen in the "Diary" who had captured Hagrid.

Tom nodded and said expressionlessly, "That's right, it's me!" ”

"Why are you here, are we in a fantasy?" Harry said in surprise.

"No!" Tom sneered, "Here's reality, and I'...... Everywhere! ”

Hermione was surprised, "Damn, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Got it!" Bruce shook his head, and said in a fit of chagrin, "We were wrong! Ginny isn't an heir at all, is she? Tom. ”

Tom nodded with a sneer, and said, "Of course she's not, she's just a little wretched creature who has been seduced and used by me!" ”

"Damn!" Ron angrily stood up and asked, "What did you do to my sister?" ”

Tom laughed, "It's nothing, it's just dying!" ”

"Stop, or I'll kill you!" Ron pointed his wand at Tom and roared.

Tom sneered, "Impossible, because the weaker she is, the stronger I become!" ”

"You stole Ginny's life?" Bruce said in surprise.

Tom laughed, "Yes, she got the notebook I left behind, and I talked to me, and I convinced her!" It was she who opened the chamber, petrified the filthy mudbloods, and left a threatening message on the wall! ”

"Why? Why are you doing this? Harry asked angrily, "Didn't you say Hogwarts was your home?" ”

Tom looked at Harry disdainfully and said, "I didn't expect you, you believe it too." Porter! I'm very good at convincing people! ”

Hermione said coldly, "But Ginny sensed your conspiracy and threw the notebook in the bathroom where we picked it up, right?" ”

"Yes!" Tom said lightly, "The power of the diary terrifies her. But who would have thought that because of this, I would get my wish to meet the person I want to see the most in the world - Harry Potter. The boy who never dies! ”

Harry asked, "Why are you seeing me?" ”

"I have to talk to you, it's better to meet up." Tom sneered and explained, "So I decided to let you see the memories of me denouncing that big fool Hagrid in exchange for your trust!" Originally, it was all going smoothly, but he ......"

Tom suddenly pointed at Bruce and said coldly, "He actually started to doubt me!" ”

Bruce sneered, "I think it's very normal for you to be suspected!" ”

"Oh!" Tom laughed, "Why? Where am I suspicious, even Dumbledore didn't suspect me at the first time, what flaws did you see? (To be continued.) )
