The basilisk hesitated for a moment, leaned down, and Ivan jumped directly on top of its head, grasping the bulge above the basilisk to stabilize his body.

The basilisk seemed to have gotten used to this, and led Ivan out of the statue's interior, all the way through the halls of the chamber, through the complex pipes, and back the way Ivan had come.

Ivan stayed on top of the basilisk's head, and once again walked through the long pipe, but it was much more comfortable than when he came.

Ivan learned from the materials in the laboratory that the basilisk was not only regarded by Salazar Slytherin as a test subject and pet, but also often used as a means of transportation and a lift.

After all, the statue at the entrance to the research room was too high, and the pipe was so long that only a creature like the basilisk could come and go freely.

What's more important is to stand on top of the basilisk's head and walk back and forth, which is more like.... Momentum!

Maybe that's why Slytherin kept basilisks...

After about ten minutes of walking through the pipe, bits of light filtered down from above, and Ivan knew he was going back to the surface.

Saying "open" in snake language again, Ivan soon saw the light above him getting bigger and bigger, and a faint vibration sound came from above.

In the lavatory, a circular basin made of a large number of wash basins turned again, revealing a circular pipe underneath.

A large, flat snake head emerged from the hole, followed by a small half of the snake's body, its dark yellow bulb-sized eyes surveying everything around it, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Ivan jumped off the basilisk's head, then turned his head with his eyes closed and said to the basilisk.

"Hiss~ (Go back to where you belong!) ）”

"Hiss~ (Eat... The eight-eyed spider)" Basilisk was very restless and tried to get out of the pipe completely, but was stopped by Ivan's yelling.

"Obedient, go back to your lair, next time! Next time I come back, I'll take you to eat the eight-eyed giant spider! ”

The basilisk looked at him hesitantly, and then slowly turned around and swam back from the pipe...

Ivan sensed that the basilisk had obeyed his orders and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the snake language is a sharp weapon specially made by wizards to control snake creatures, it is difficult for a powerful magical creature like a basilisk to succumb to it by snake language alone.

Fortunately, according to the information left by Slytherin, after fusing the blood of the basilisk, the power of the snake language will be greatly enhanced, and he may be able to drive the basilisk as a pet at that time.

Thinking of this, Ivan looked forward to it even more.

The entrance to the chamber slowly closed, and intermittent cries reached Ivan's ears.

Ivan's eyes looked at the innermost toilet and shook his head.

Myrtle can really cry, it's been a long time, and her emotions haven't calmed down.

But that's not bad, he's been worried that he'll be seen by the myrtle when he comes out, so now he doesn't have to worry...

Ivan sorted out his harvest as he walked to his bedroom.

"Ivan, something happened!" When he arrived at the Gryffindor common room, a panicked Harry and Ron suddenly ran towards him.

"What's wrong?" Ivan asked strangely, and at the same time vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Harry and Ron didn't reply, but eagerly pulled him and ran, Ivan didn't resist, and when he opened the door and reached the bedroom, Ivan understood why they were in such a hurry.

In Ivan's sight, the huge dormitory was a mess, turned over and messy, books and clothes were turned out and thrown on the floor.

The strange-looking "owls" he raised had run out of their cages for some reason, and Maca hid in horror on the pillar at the head of the bed, and flew over in a hurry when she saw Ivan.

Ivan stared at an upturned suitcase, his face very ugly.

He was worried that he would not be able to find clues in the secret room, so he temporarily spared Tom's life, and when he went to the secret room, he sealed the Horcrux and locked it in a suitcase and stuffed it under the bed.

So the invaders are undoubtedly coming for the Horcruxes!

Ivan hurriedly stepped forward to check it, and sure enough, he couldn't find the journal with the black cover, and Ivan was stunned, who would want to get this Horcrux.

Except for old Malfoy, no one else should know that this thing is with him.

And since he got the Horcrux, most of the time he carried it close to him, and the rest of the time has been properly preserved, Tom Riddle has no chance to seduce others.

Thinking in his mind about the possible stealing of the Horcruxes, Ivan suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely at the chubby mouse lying by the window.

Madara was leisurely nibbling on a multi-flavored bean, and even though the bedroom was in a mess, it was a gesture that it didn't matter to him, and it had nothing to do with him anyway.

But after being stared at by Ivan, Spotted felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, and even the multi-flavored beans in his hand were no longer fragrant, and he jumped into Ron's arms as fast as he could, and shivered into Ron's pocket.

Ivan retracted his gaze, since Maddara still has the courage to stay here, it means that the Horcrux matter has nothing to do with him...

"Ivan, are you missing something important?" Harry noticed that there was something wrong with Ivan's expression, and immediately asked out loud.

"It's just a notebook for taking notes, it's black, it's not an important thing," Ivan hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

Ivan didn't want Harry and Ron to be involved, so he just described the Horcrux and asked if they had seen each other.

Both Harry and Ron shook their heads,

"Where were you before? Did you see who did it? Ivan suppressed the anxious emotions in his heart and asked again.

"Ron and I spent the afternoon in the common room flying the wizarding flag, and when we came in, we found that the dorm had become like this.

We checked our stuff and didn't lose anything, so we came out to find you and Neville. Harry explained.

"What kind of bastard the hell, so much trouble, just to steal a useless book." Ron soothed the restless spots in his pocket and said angrily.

Ivan frowned, this was a problem, he couldn't think for a moment who would want to get this Horcrux.

There were no witnesses except for Spotted, and when Ivan was having a headache, Maca flew to his shoulder, pecked at his face, and screamed "Coo~".

"Maca? yes, I almost forgot, you should have seen it, I can ask you! Ivan was stunned at first, and then happily realized that in addition to Spotted in the bedroom, his owl was also a witness.

(PS: The theft of the Horcrux is a plot that has been thought out for a long time.,There's a lot of foreshadowing in front of it, so it's a must-write.,But the back won't be the same as the original.,Please rest assured...) What's more, some settings still need to be said with the help of Tom, so... ）
