Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Secret Room

"This is the entrance to the secret room?"

Looking at the hole in the black hole, Ron swallowed and foamed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It should be. Release the drone, and we go down. ”

Several small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were released, but the images that came back immediately made Xana have to release more drones, and there are tubes all over the place, leading in all directions. On the monitor screen, a system of pipes running from top to bottom throughout the castle is taking shape.

"With so many pipes, it's no wonder that the basilisk can be haunted."

Harley was amazed that there was such a network in the entire castle.

"I think we're mapping the entire castle's pipe network, which should also be the drainage system for the entire Hogwarts castle."

Xana nodded, agreeing with Harley.

"Shield activated, let's go."

Although there are still many places on the upper floor that have not been drawn, I think the basilisk will not install its lair above the castle, and according to the detection of the drone, there is a huge hole in the area corresponding to the bottom of the lake, which is likely to be the real location of the secret room.

After making sure that this part of the journey was not dangerous, Xana flew into the cave first, followed by Yukikaze and Harley, and Ron fell behind, stretched out the shield and rolled all the way down (Ron: Auditors have no human rights, why can't I fly, such a cup).

When the twists and turns, the inclined pipe began to straighten, and Xia Na and her party finally left the iron pipe and came to a place that was supposed to be an underground cave.

"Mom! uh..."

Ron, who had already gotten mosquito coils all the way down, mistakenly closed the shield early, and as a result, he couldn't hold back and fell into the mud pond in front of him, and a dog ate.

"Don't play tricks, we need to find the secret room quickly."

Pulling Ron out and cleaning it up, Xana walked towards the depths of the cave first, followed by Yukikaze with a cannon, and Harley and Ron broke off.

"We must have been miles below the school. Check it out here..."

Harley looked at the slimy, wet walls around her, judging where it was.

"Gross... Probably to the bottom of the lake. ”

Even though the sludge had been cleaned up, Ron still felt sick in his mouth.

The group slowly advanced through the dark cavern, and the surroundings were as silent as a tomb.

Click!

Ron suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a layer of fine bones on the ground. I don't know how long it has been accumulating, but it may have been a series of unlucky critters that strayed here since it was built, and finally stuffed between the basilisk's teeth.

"Let's keep walking."

Everyone was silent, silently following Xana on.

But Harley could feel Ron's hands trembling violently, and the sight was chilling, and Harley told herself not to associate this with Ginny, it would be terrible.

"Hallie, there's something there..."

It was still Ron, who grabbed Harry's shoulder, pointed ahead, and said in a hoarse voice.

"If you don't hide behind the girl, I will admire your courage and vision even more..."

Xana spits as she looks in the direction of Ron's finger (Ron's eyes teep). There was the outline of a coiled behemoth, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.

"Maybe it's asleep?"

Ron said uncertainly.

Harley instantly aimed all her weapons at the thing, and with a single "fire" from Xana, she turned the dreaming basilisk into a carbonized snake.

"It's just a snake, isn't it? Let's go and see. ”

The two nervous guys each harvested a chestnut.

"This must be a good leather bag."

Before the snake molted, the snow wind shone against the snakeskin's eyes.

It didn't take long for this skin to fade obviously, it was still bright bright green, and more importantly, under the premise of ensuring quality, the size was large enough, even if it was piled up together now it was six or seven meters long, and when it was leveled and nitrated, it was estimated that there would be dozens of meters, and at least hundreds of handbags would come out after cutting it.

"Then we'll wrap it up and go back and share it with my sisters."

Xia Na decisively put the snakeskin into her carry-on space, and Xue Feng's suggestion was really intimate, so she just took it back as a gift for her sisters.

Just as Xana was happy to get the raw materials for the purse, a dark shadow on the other side of the cave gritted her teeth vigorously, but it didn't work.

That's right, this black shadow was ambushed here before Xana and the others came down, and they had planned to sneak up when the group found out that the snake was frightened. It's a pity that he thought about everything, but he missed it a little, that is, he didn't expect that Xia Na and the others didn't need a magic wand to illuminate at all, and they just walked over with their rare talents of high-tech night vision and dark vision.

In the pitch-black cavern, there is no light, at most it can be roughly located in one direction through sound, and the Forgotten Spell cannot be aimed at all. I didn't expect that there was such a completely unmagical thing as daring to explore underground without lighting up, and the black shadow could only grind his teeth and bite his handkerchief in hatred in the suspicious direction from a distance.

"I knew that there was also a magic that could be observed in the dark."

After walking for a long time through the snake, there was no road ahead, and a heavy stone wall stood in front of everyone, and the road was blocked by neat stones, and two snakes were carved with each other, and their eyes were inlaid with large, shining emeralds.

"Open!" (Dragon)

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared.

"That's all Slydrin's taste?"

"Ahh It's disgusting. ”

Walking into the ancient secret room, everyone searched for the traces of Ginny as they advanced, and from time to time there was a sound of Xuefeng complaining about all kinds of strange decorations on the wall, and the snakes carved on the walls and stone pillars were obviously not to Xuefeng's liking.

"When we go out, can we bury a space implosion bomb at the door? Sister, just one. ”

"Lord Yukikaze, please don't!" *2

Harley and Ron persuaded Yukikaze to dispel the terrible idea of causing the entire school to collapse, and they didn't stop until they walked past the last pair of stone pillars. A statue as tall as the room itself appeared, clinging to the dark wall behind it.

It was carved in the image of an old man, but unfortunately not a kind old grandfather, but an old, monkey-like face, a long beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, and two large gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room.

"That's all Slydlin does? No wonder it is carved here, it really has to be placed at the entrance of the school, who sees who is blind. ”

Shana vomited in her heart, and focused her attention on the bottom of the statue, where a small figure in a black robe lay face down, and her hair was as red as flames.

"Ginny!"

Harley and Ron ran over in two steps, flipping the girl over and picking her up. Ginny's face was pale, and her body was cold.

"Mikoto-sama the beckoning cat, please bless Ginny! Don't die! Please, don't die..."

Once again, Ron nearly broke down, praying as Harley examined Ginny, for fear of hearing bad news.

"Ginny isn't dead yet, let's get her to the infirmary quickly, Madam Pomfrey has a solution."

The situation is very bad, and the pulse is almost out of reach. Harley picks up Ginny and prepares to start the jet engine, and now she must race against time to get Ginny to first aid, and as for the heir of Slydrin, she has to leave it to her sisters.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave, and she won't wake up."

A voice came from behind the stone pillar.

"Who?"

A tall, dark-haired boy stepped out from behind the stone pillar. Is there anyone else here?

"Tom-Tom? Riddle? ”

Hallie was startled and cried out. Xia Na and Xue Feng quietly glanced at each other, nodded, and the mastermind behind the scenes finally appeared. But Shana still has a question in her mind, Ginny has been found, and where is Hermione? No matter how strong Riddle is, Hermione can at least run as a magical girl, but Hermione has not been found so far.

"She's alive." "But I don't have long to live." ”

We know Ginny is in a bad situation, but what do you mean by saying that? Harley, who didn't know the real situation of Riddle, was puzzled, and even more wondered why Riddle was here.

"Are you a ghost?"

"It's a memory, a memory that's been kept in a diary for fifty years."

Riddle said calmly, gesturing to the statue, where the black diary was dropped.

"Harley doesn't know what this guy really is. 】

[Don't worry, this guy will take the initiative to explode soon, after all, he was still in secondary two when he was created, and of course that guy doesn't seem to have graduated from secondary two now. 】

Xana and Yukikaze whispered in the Reading Channel. And the next thing turned out as Yukikaze said, Riddle quickly blew himself up, and he started with Ginny's affair, beaming with pride.

Riddle tells Harley and Ron directly that Ginny is the way she is because she opened up to strangers, confided all her secrets, and told everyone else in her diary.

"For months little Ginny had been writing her heartfelt words in my journal, telling me of her distressing troubles and sorrowsβ€”how she had been made fun of by her brothers, how she had to wear old robes and carry old books to school, and, she thoughtβ€”that the famous, kind, great Potter would never like her..."

"I have to say, it was originally a girl's longing for a boy, but then it turned into a lily, you two are so funny... Hahahaha..."

"Damn!"

Harley was angry at the thought that Ginny had been toyed with for her vision, and even more so at the thought that she had written in her diary in those days, and her face was as ashamed as a tomato.

Riddle ignored Hallie's shame and continued to break the news: "It's not me who brags, Hallie, I've always been able to confuse people at will. So, Ginny opened her whole soul to me, and her soul happened to be exactly what I needed. I devoured her most secret fears, her deepest secrets, and my appetite grew. I'm getting stronger, much stronger than little Miss Weasley. Strong enough to reveal a few of my secrets to Miss Weasley, and begin to open up a small part of my soul to her..."

"Yes, Ginny? Weasley opened the Chamber of Secrets. It was she who strangled the in the school and scribbled those scary words on the walls. It was she who unleashed the Slytherin basilisk and attacked the Mudbloods, and the skinny cat with the Squib. ”

"This can't be..."

Ron refuses to believe that his sister is the murderer.

Of course, at first she didn't know what she was doing. It's very interesting, and I wish you could take a look at some of her new diaries..."

"Dear Tom, I feel as if I'm losing my memory. My robes are covered with chicken feathers, and I don't know how they got there. Dear Tom, I don't remember what I did on Halloween Eve, but a cat was killed and my chest was covered in paint. Dear Tom, Percy always told me that I had a bad face and a somewhat unusual look. I think he might be suspicious of me... There was another attack today, and I can't remember where I was at the time. Tom, what should I do? I feel like I'm going crazy... I feel like I'm the one who attacked all of them, Tom! ”

"Bastard!"

Ron frantically pulled the trigger and aimed at Riddle to shoot a beam of rage, but unfortunately it only caused a ripple in the air, and it was impossible to break through the opponent's shield.

"Calm down, calm down, my friend."

"Whoever is friends with you, you personal scum!"

"Say your true purpose! Otherwise, I'll let you go to hell if you can't say it. Xana stopped Ron's frantic attempt to load the grenade, "You're luring us down, not just showing off your crimes." ”

"As you wish. After knowing you, it doesn't matter to kill the Mudbloods, and my most urgent purpose is to meet your sisters, not in the diary, but here. ”

"Ah, why?"

Hallie was confused.

"Oh, that's right..."

"How did a pair of babies, without any particularly magical spells, defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How can you escape unharmed, leaving only your sister with a scar and Voldemort's power destroyed? ”

Riddle didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point, his wolf-like eyes flashing with a strange red light.

"Why do you care how we escaped?" Hallie wondered why Riddle cared about this, "Voldemort's thing happened many years after you died. ”

"Because that's him, a dead ghost is not willing to die in a blur, and it is not new to find the cause of his death."

Xue Feng spoke, directly pointing out Riddle's identity, and "Tom? Mavolo? Riddle", and then the text order changed a few times to "I am Voldemort".

"Oh, I didn't expect to be guessed."

Riddle (perhaps formally known as Voldemort by now) was slightly taken aback, and then shouted feverishly.

"It's a name I used when I was a student at Hogwarts. Of course, only for my closest friends. Do you think I'm going to use my filthy Muggle father's name for the rest of my life? You know, in my veins, there is Salazar? The blood of Slytherin himself, passed on to me through his daughter! Am I going to keep that disgusting generic Muggle name? He abandoned me before I was even born because he found out that his wife was a witch! No! I came up with a new name for myself, and I knew that one day, when I became the greatest magician in the world, wizards everywhere would not dare to say that name easily! ”
