The three of them simply cleaned up the things scattered on the ground, and then found the eight-eyed giant spider that was 'stoned to ask for directions' not far away, its eight eyes staring in different directions scattered, and it seemed to roll all the way down, shaking its head.

"Why do school administrators like to build the secret room so far? This is true of the Philosopher's Stone, and the same is true of the Basilisk...... We estimate that we are already several miles away from the school! Harry shook off the sludge stuck to his hands, a look of disgust.

"This is probably the bottom of the big lake at the school." Ron said. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark stone walls around him...... It was a dark stone tunnel, so big that even Hagrid could jump up and feel high in his breath, let alone the three of them. Reaching out and touching the stone wall, it was sticky, and it was impossible to tell whether it was moss or mud in the dark.

After looking at everything around them, the three of them all stared at the darkness ahead.

"Fluorescent flickering." Harry and Ron's wands glowed.

"Lend me the cloak of invisibility, I'll go to the front to see the situation first, and you two will follow me...... You know, the glow spell is too conspicuous. Brandi hesitated, "If it's safe in front of me, I'll shoot red sparks back." But if you hear anything unusual, close your eyes. ”

"Padma is really eccentric...... Such a good spell can actually teach you alone. Ron looked enviously at Brandi's wolf-green eyes, grumbling in dissatisfaction. Why don't we discuss it, and you can secretly teach us how? ”

"They reluctantly told me that the spell was a secret of their family, and I didn't want her to be punished—and besides, I was taking my life."

They chatted casually, and Brandi put on her invisibility cloak and disappeared in front of them. Footprints appeared on the damp ground illuminated by the fluorescent spell, slowly extending towards the depths of the tunnel.

It was so dark inside the tunnel that even in Brandy's vision of enhanced night vision, he could only see the green stone walls on both sides. Acting alone, he was accompanied only by the sound of his own rapid heartbeat, the silent tunnel was as creepy as a grave at midnight, and the occasional drop of condensed water dripping from the ceiling could make his heartbeat beat beat hard.

It was only when he reached the next corner and turned around to fire the sparks that Harry and Ron behind him clicked to give him a faint sense of reassurance......

"Click!"

Brandi's feet stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat at the unexpected crisp sound. He just stepped on something terrible...... Is it the skull of a rat? Only then did he notice that he had inadvertently stepped into the basilisk's feeding area, which was littered with the bones of small animals, and most of them were rats.

He couldn't imagine what Neville would be like now after being taken captive to the Chamber of Secrets for more than a day......

He shook his head quickly, carefully avoiding the bones under his feet, and turned a dark bend in the tunnel—he almost didn't scream.

On the other side of the tunnel, a coiled behemoth glowed a dazzling green light in his vision. He didn't dare to move, his eyes were closed tightly, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

Half-night...... Brandi realized that there seemed to be something wrong, such a big python was sleeping, and there should be a little hissing breathing anyway. But he stood stupidly for a long time, but he could only hear his own heartbeat, and the tunnel was quiet, and there was no flow of air at all. He pondered for a moment, then mustered up his courage and walked slowly in the direction of the thing.

He was stunned for a moment, and saw what was in front of him.

It was a huge snakeskin, like a thick rubber pipe, coiled and drooping on the floor of the tunnel, empty inside—apparently the guy who had shed it was over twenty feet long.

"Oh my God."

With this feeble sigh, a soft white light also came from behind him.

Brandi jerked his head back, only to realize that Harry and Ron had unknowingly walked up to him while he was stunned. He remembered that he hadn't signaled them in a long time.

"We're going to be the owner of this thing in a moment......" Harry reached out with a trembling hand and felt for the snakeskin, where it wasn't very thick, but it was quite flexible. And......

"Divided!"

The spell struck the snakeskin, and then as they watched in horror, it was catapulted into the sky, blasting a long crack in the ceiling above Harry's head. He hurriedly jumped to the side, dodging the rubble falling from above his head.

Didn't work at all...... This sucks.

"What can I do?" Ron said, his voice looking desperate. "Our wands have turned into burning sticks!"

"Be optimistic, Ron, it's just a bounce spell. If you raise a rock and hit it on the head like you did with the troll last year, I think it would still be useful. Brandi cheered hard, "And we don't have to go toe-to-toe with it, you see—"

He looked thoughtfully at the crumbling ceiling above him.

With great difficulty stepping over the snakeskin, they turned and turned. The three of them are very conflicted, they want to reach the end quickly, but they are afraid to face such a terrible monster. But what was supposed to come would come, and when Brandi fired one last spark to call Harry and Ron over, they had come to an end - in front of them stood a sturdy wall carved with two snakes entwined with each other.

Brandi didn't speak, and Harry took a step forward consciously, his calves shaking with effort.

"I'm open?" He looked at Brandi and Ron. Under the light of the fluorescent spell, their faces were like a thick layer of chalk ash, and the white was terrible.

They nodded, watching with trepidation as Harry hissed in a low, hoarse tone.

The two snakes swam apart, and the stone wall parted like the entrance to Diagon Alley, revealing a dark hole. "As always, I'm first. Don't trespass this time, I'll come out first when I'm done scouting, and we need to discuss a plan. ”

Brandi shuddered, hiding under the cloak of invisibility, and walked in first.

………………

It was a long, gloomy hall at one end. Inside the room were many stone pillars carved with great serpents, towering to support the entire dark hall, and these stone pillars must have been terrifyingly high. Even with the Nightvision Charm, Brandi still couldn't see the ceiling at the end of his head.

The hall is surrounded by a lake on both sides, like an ancient moat. I don't know if it's magic or nature's magic, but the lake glows with a shimmering green, and that's where the faint light source comes from.

Brandy's heart pounded, and he stood there quietly, looking at the strange black shadows cast by the stone pillars not far away. There was no action for a while...... There was such a big movement in the castle earlier, could the basilisk have woken up? Maybe it's hiding in the shadow of a stone pillar, lurking quietly waiting for its prey to fall into the net?

As he was thinking, he seemed to hear something—something from the horizon, not unlike the sound of a heartbeat and water dripping on the floor. His heart moved, and he tried to prick up his ears—

That's right, this muffled voice sounds like it?

Someone talking?

He cautiously drew his wand, carefully hiding himself behind the stone pillar, and moved forward little by little. In order not to make a noise for himself, he even took off his shoes and stepped on the slippery stone slab wearing only his socks. Maybe it was an illusion, even if he was hidden under the invisibility cloak, he would still feel the snake carvings on those stone pillars staring at him coldly from time to time...... His nervous stomach was cramping.

When he reached the last two stone pillars, he saw an unattainable statue like a mountain, standing on the wall at the end of the room: it was an old and ugly face, a mouth like a clenched tooth, and a long beard...... The whiskers spread from the water to the stone slabs—and not far away, two figures in black robes. One lay motionless on the ground, while the tall, lanky guy faced the statue.

Is that the heir of Slytherin?

Brandi just wanted to move over slowly, but suddenly his heart moved, I don't know what happened, the heir seemed to be talking to himself?

"It can't be! He knew it! Why can't I find it in his memory! "The tall wizard seems to be particularly angry." Could it be that Dumbledore was the first to know about the Seven Seals? He's already had Longbottom's amnestics erased in advance!? Damn, I should have let you risk bringing Longbottom in......"

Seven seals?

Brandi's face was stunned when he heard this word, this Slytherin heir actually knew about the Seven Seals, could it be that he was sent by Voldemort to collect information about the Seven Seals like Professor Quirrell?

But what does this have to do with Neville, who doesn't know anything about the treasure house except that he followed them to the treasure house by mistake and drank a bottle of evoking potion......

Not? Wait a minute? If you have to have anything to do with the treasury...... It seems to be a little bit ...... Longbottom?!

"My name is Bruce. Longbottom, it looks like someone sent you to a second-hand bookstore. Probably it was given to me by the shopkeeper when I bought the Standard Spell. ”】

【…… Can you promise me not to reveal my existence to anyone but yourself? I'm more concerned about that. 】

……

["Riddle...... Your missing friend can't be Lightmanson. ”】

[How do you know Wright's name!] Have you ever been there! Answer me! 】

…… Ha...... No way!

An extremely ridiculous thought popped into Brandy's mind, Riddle? A diary, actually an undercover agent sent by Voldemort?
