The thick pipes, pitch black, don't know how deep they are underneath.

Harry cast several protective spells on himself, and several spherical shrouds enveloped Harry.

Then he jumped.

It felt like speeding down a dark, slimy, endless slide. He could see that there were many other pipes that were branching out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this one.

The pipe twists and turns, winding around and down, with a steep slope all the way down.

Based on the speed and timing, Harry knew he had descended to a deep, deep place beneath the school, probably hundreds of meters.

The water pipes then become horizontal, acting as a buffer.

Otherwise, the heir chosen by Slytherin would probably fall to his death due to a fall from a height.

Harry stepped out of the pipe and stood on the wet ground.

In front of him was a dark stone tunnel, large enough to allow a person to stand in it, without the top of their heads touching the top.

"Fluorescent flickering. ”

A super-bright light emanated from the wand, illuminating the surroundings.

Harry walked down the aisle.

There was silence except for the sound of Harry's breathing and footsteps.

Occasionally, there was a clicking sound under the feet, which was stepping on the bones of a mouse.

And there are a lot of bones of these small animals on the ground.

Until Harry saw the silhouette of a huge animal coiling in front of him, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.

But Harry wasn't intimidated, for all he felt was a dead silence, a dead thing.

The wand's light was brighter, shining on the black shadow, it was a huge snakeskin, green and very bright, and it looked like the molt of a terrifying python, coiled on the floor of the tunnel, and it was empty.

This skin is at least twenty meters long. (The original Rowling wrote that it was 20 feet, that is, 6 meters, which felt so small, only two floors, so it was changed here.) ）

Harry kept going, the tunnel twisting and turning, and finally he turned another corner and came to the end.

At the end was sealed by a round metal door, on which protruded two intertwined serpents, their eyes encrusted with large, glittering emeralds, as if they were alive.

"Open the sesame door. Harry said in a low, hoarse sizzling voice.

The eyes of the two snakes lit up and parted, and the door cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared.

Harry stepped inside.

Inside is the secret room!

It was an empty and tall room, it was at least a few tens of meters high, and although there was no fire candle, it had a dim light, because the stone walls of the room were mixed with something luminous, enough to make people see the general appearance of the room.

The interior layout is symmetrical, with the entrance in the center of the wide side.

As far as the eye can see, there are many thick and tall stone pillars, divided into two rows, supporting the high ceiling.

The stone pillars are carved with large coiling serpents. Every snake stared at Harry.

But that's not the point.

The first thing anyone sees is a stone statue directly opposite the entrance.

It is at the very back of the stone pillar, against the wall, and is the same height as the room.

It was a statue of a man: an old dragon clock's face, a sparse beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, two huge feet standing on the smooth floor of the room.

This is Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts.

Harry walked to the Slytherin statue.

He looked up at the stone statue, and he knew that the basilisk was here.

He must now kill the basilisk.

Originally, this was not in his plan, after all, killing the basilisk meant that everything had to change, and he also had to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux, the diary.

In this way, he originally wanted to record the heroic appearance of Lord Voldemort's return, and proudly blew himself up that it was himself who opened the secret room, not Hagrid.

Kill this Horcrux again, and everyone will be happy.

However, upon realizing the resurgence of the basilisk, Harry suddenly thought of something that he had overlooked: he could not let the basilisk spread panic in the schoolyard freely, because no one died in the original books, only a few people were petrified for various reasons. But Harry couldn't guarantee that no one died.

Harry wasn't that kind and selfless, but if innocent lives were killed for his own reasons, Harry could only stop it.

So, here comes Harry.

After using an advanced shapeshifter, Harry transforms into a cat. (Not the Animagus, I've always wondered how Transfiguration is so powerful, how you can only turn into an animal by learning Animagus, I understand it as a loophole, I remember a plot where Ron turned Malfoy into a mouse.) ）

He quickly climbed the mountain-like stone statue until it reached the Slytherin shoulder, and then transformed and returned to its original form.

The stone statue opened its mouth, revealing a large black hole.

Harry jumped in.

It was Slytherin's mouth, but it was as big as a cave, and within his body there was a huge serpent coiling around it.

Harry was about to jump down his throat. Suddenly attracted by a red light.

A row of stone-carved teeth, each as tall as Harry. On one of them was an object - a red ring.

“Σ(°Д°;”

Harry hadn't expected such a strange thing to be here.

As far back as I can remember, Voldemort never came up.

He was just at the feet of Slytherin, awakening the basilisk.

So I haven't found this thing either.

Was it left by Slytherin?

Harry unleashed a spell that cleared the curse, and the ring didn't react.

Then Harry picked up the ring.

There was a sharp pain in my brain like a pins and needles, but the sensation disappeared in an instant.

"This ......"

Harry looked at the ring in disbelief, as it seemed as if his spirit was connected to something......

The rumbling of the stone and Harry's magic finally disturbed the basilisk, and it crawled up from below, a huge and terrifying head staring at Harry.

"Silk ......"

(Harry, d!)
