Chapter 171, "Shield" Lockhart
The four of them set off "above board". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ On the way, Hermione looked around worriedly and asked, "Is it really okay for us to have such a blatant past?" What if the professors find out? β
Bruce said: "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, why do you care so much!" β
"Have you ever thought about how to deal with the basilisk?" Hermione asked again.
"We're still facing unknowns, so it's impossible to be prepared for everything." Bruce laughed.
Hermione looked at Bruce, who was bursting with self-confidence, speechlessly, and said, "At least have a plan." β
Bruce clenched his fists and said, "Don't do it, this is the plan!" β
"Hey, look, who's that?" Harry asked abruptly, pointing ahead.
A figure ran out of a door in a panic with a suitcase, as if he had encountered something urgent.
"It's Professor Lockhart!"
Hermione recognized her idol immediately.
Ron wondered; "What is he going to do?"
"Dealing with basilisks? Looking for a secret room? Harry said.
Bruce smiled disdainfully: "Anyone who uses his toes knows that it is impossible, who will lead the box to deal with the basilisk." β
"Aren't you?" Harry laughed.
"Forehead ......"
"Professor Lockhart!" Hermione suddenly screamed, and Lockhart's flustered figure immediately stopped, and the four of them hurriedly walked over.
The usual confident "charming" smile became awkward and nervous, and Lockhart forced a smile: "Oh, it's the four of you. It's not safe to stay outside so late. β
"Really? So what are you going to do? Looking for a secret room? Bruce asked sarcastically.
Lockhart stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, and then Hermione couldn't hold back anymore, she needed to know the truth, about the professor she had admired for a year.
"Professor, are you planning to escape?" Hermione asked incredulously.
As soon as these words came out, the embarrassment on Lockhart's face disappeared, and since he was discovered, he simply broke the can, and said, "No, this is called retreat." Only fools fight monsters! β
"But haven't you defeated so many monsters?" Hermione asked angrily.
Lockhart smiled bitterly, "Please, Hermione! That's the story, you get the story? If I don't write wonderfully, who will buy my book? β
Hermione wanted to continue, but Bruce stopped her and said, "Don't talk nonsense with him, it's important to save Ginny!" β
"Wait a minute!" Lockhart was stunned when he heard Bruce's words, and asked in surprise, "You just said Ginny?" Ginny Weasley? Oh, my God! You've found the Chamber of Secrets! β
Bruce nodded and smiled, "Yes, we are what you call fools!" And ......"
Bruce raised his wand and aimed it at Lockhart, "And we four fools are going to take you with us, dear Professor Lockhart!" β
"You're crazy, Bruce! What are you bringing him for? Ron asked, puzzled.
Bruce said, "Even if Lockhart has a false appearance, he is a wizard after all, and he can always do something, and it is still good to be a shield." β
"Hey! Wait......" Lockhart hurriedly said, "Bruce, are you kidding?" β
Bruce laughed: "Isn't it a joke to know for a while, now ...... Come with us, Professor Lockhart! β
At this time, Lockhart really regretted that he had to be a teacher if he didn't do a good "star", which is good! I thought that I could use the fame of Hogwarts to make it popular, but this time I got it all upside down, and I even had to take my life into it. But at this point, he was not allowed to make other choices.
In this way, the four of them "escorted" Lockhart to the bathroom on the second floor.
In the bathroom, the myrtle let out a "woo" cry and floated aimlessly. Suddenly, she heard the door open.
"Who is it?"
The first to come in was the trembling "Shield" Professor Lockhart, and then she saw the Bruce Four.
Myrtle smiled when she saw Harry come in, and said shyly, "Hehe! Hello Harry! β
"Huh!" Harry smiled awkwardly, "Hello! β
"What are you doing here?" Myrtle asked.
Harry said, "We ...... Kindness...... I'm not trying to provoke you, but I just want to ask you if you remember the scene when you were killed? β
"Oh!" Myrtle's expression became horrified and she said, "It was terrifying at the time, and it was in this small compartment. Oliver Humbe made fun of my glasses, and I hid here...... I was crying when I heard someone come in. β
"Who is it?" Bruce asked hurriedly.
Myrtle began to cry again and said, "Woo...... I do not know! I was distraught, and they said something strange, as if it were some kind of peculiar language. It was a boy, and I thought he was laughing at me, so I opened the door and told him to get out of the way, and then ...... I'm dead! β
Bruce was surprised and said, "You died so inexplicably...... Uh, I mean, you didn't see your killer? β
Myrtle said sadly, "All I remember is by the sink with huge yellow eyes...... Whining! That's horrible! β
Myrtle refused to remember anymore and wept and floated away.
The four of them immediately looked at the sink, and Lockhart immediately shuddered and hurriedly said, "What a magical story, isn't it?" β
"Shut up!" Hermione said in disgust, and then said to the three of them, "Myrtle must have seen the eyes of the basilisk, which means that the entrance to the secret room is near the washstand!" β
Ron hurriedly said, "Look for it!" β
The three of them immediately walked to the sink to check, but the sink was so big that there was nothing around it, and it didn't look like it had an entrance at all.
At this time, Bruce suddenly saw that an extremely clichΓ© "routine" suddenly came to mind in the water dragon's mind. He immediately turned on the faucet switch, but no water came out of it.
"It's empty!" Bruce said immediately.
"Look!" Hermione suddenly discovered something.
Bruce and Harry hurried over, Hermione pointed to the faucet and said, "There's a snake on it!" β
Bruce immediately said, "The entrance to the chamber is here, the sink is empty, and the passage is underneath here!" β
"But how do you open it? Exploded? Ron asked.
"Snake Language!" Bruce suddenly remembered Myrtle's words, and suddenly said, "Didn't Myrtle say it?" She had heard the boy speak strange language. At that time, he must have opened the secret room in snake language and released the basilisk! β
Hermione hurriedly said, "Harry, say something to it in snake language." β
Harry nodded, uttered a gloomy and creepy snake whisper, and ......
"Click!"
There was a strange sound from the depths of the sink, and the four of them subconsciously took a step back, and Lockhart, if it wasn't for Ron pointing his wand at him, would have rushed out at this moment.
I saw the top of the sink slowly float into the air, and then the surrounding sinks moved towards the periphery. After a while, what appeared in front of them was a bottomless "black hole"!
"Found it!" Bruce said excitedly.
At this time, Lockhart looked at it in horror and hurriedly said, "That's right! You guys are amazing, well done! Should we get out of here now? β
Bruce said, "Leave? Why leave? β
Lockhart said incredulously, "You don't really plan to go in, do you?" It's like looking for death! Bruce, you should follow my advice, we should go to someone who can really solve the problem, instead of blindly sending them to death. β
Bruce nodded and said, "That's right! If it hadn't been for what happened today, we would have done it, but not anymore. β
"Why?" Lockhart asked incredulously.
"Because there's my sister down there!" Ron pointed his wand at Lockhart excitedly.
Lockhart hurriedly leaned back and said in a panic, "I sympathize with your sister's plight, and I respect your thoughts. But...... It's useless for me to stay here! β
Bruce walked up to him and smiled, "No, you're very useful!" β
With that, Bruce retreated Lockhart to the edge of the cave and said with a smile: "Please go down and explore the great Gilderoy Lockhart first!" β
Lockhart turned his head to look at the dark hole and said in horror, "Children...... You...... Are you really going to do that? β
Bruce pointed his wand at him and laughed, "Of course, I'm bad!" β
Under the threat of his wand, Lockhart's Adam's apple trembled involuntarily and said, "Okay...... All right! β
He turned to look down, but his legs couldn't move at all at the frightening depths.
Lockhart turned his head and asked with a sad face, "We can ...... discuss?"
"Bang!"
"Ahh
Hermione kicked him in the ass, and Lockhart kicked him down. The three of them looked at Hermione in surprise, and Hermione smiled smugly and said, "I'm bad too!" β
"Hahaha! Bad pretty! Bruce laughed as he put his arm around Hermione.
Just then, Lockhart's voice came from below: "Oh, it's dirty here!" β
Bruce said, "Looks like there's no problem, let's go!" Let's go down too! β
Ron was eager to save his sister and said, "I'll go down first!" β
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the cave, when Myrtle suddenly came out, looked at Harry happily, and said, "Harry, if you die, you are very welcome to share a toilet with me!" β
"Huh!" Harry smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Myrtle!" But...... I still hope to be alive and see you later! Ron, let's go. β
Ron nodded, took a deep breath and jumped off, and then the three of them jumped down.
When they jumped inside, they realized that the entrance to the chamber was not like a "straight path" to see the road outside, but like a slide that continued to extend downward. Because it was under the bathroom, the environment here was humid, and the hole was covered with moss, slimy and slippery, but it helped them not to set fire to the butts of the four of them due to friction!
"Bang!"
"Bang!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
One by one, the four of them reached the bottom and landed on top of a pile of "branches", and Lockhart had already stood aside. Ron, who was the first to arrive, immediately stood up and pointed his wand at him, and when Bruce and the others got up, they found that there were no branches on the ground at all, but a pile of animal bones, some of which had even hatched, and there was a crisp cracking sound when stepped on, which echoed around and made people shudder!
