"Basilisk!"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and Hermione stepped forward and asked her in a kind tone, "Where did you see those eyes?"

"Hmm......"

Myrtle thought for a moment, then reached out and pointed to the pool in front of her: "It's there, that's where I saw it."

Ron listened to her, squeezed Samantha and Parney behind him, threw himself over the edge of the pool, and fumbled around impatiently, as if trying to find a switch.

Ning An also walked over, he remembered that the entrance to the secret room was on a faucet, and it needed to be opened in snake language, but he couldn't remember exactly what it was.

Squatting down, checking one by one, on a copper faucet on the left side of the pool, Ning An made a discovery.

A small dark gold snake is carved on the side of the dragon's head, and it can be seen that the person who carved it must have been extremely skillful, and this small snake is carved lifelike.

"Harry, come here." Ning An beckoned behind him without looking back.

Harry stepped forward, confused

"What's wrong?"

Ning An straightened up, pointed to the faucet engraved with a small snake and said, "Come, say a few words in a parseltongue here."

The eyes of everyone in the bathroom were focused, and it was obvious that Ning An had discovered something.

Ron also stood up and looked at Harry, his eyes full of anxiety.

Harry stared at the brass faucet, slowly stepped forward, and crouched down.

"There's a snake carved on the side, and you can imagine it as a real snake." Ning An reminded in the back.

Harry tilted his head, and sure enough, he saw a lifelike little golden snake carved into the side of the faucet, and he stared at the little snake with all his might, trying to imagine it as a real snake.

In Harry's gaze, the little snake seemed to be slowly swaying with the light, like a real snake spitting out a letter to greet him.

Open

Harry spoke naturally, but to the ears of the others, it was not human language that was heard, but a "hiss-" sound like a serpent spitting out a letter.

As Harry's voice fell, the faucet glowed with a dazzling white light, and it began to spin rapidly.

At the same time, the water in the pool actually began to move, and after a moment it all disappeared, and what appeared to everyone was a very thick pipe under the pool, which seemed to be large enough for one person to get into.

"Done, looks like we've found the entrance to the chamber." Ning An laughed happily as he didn't see it, but Ron, who was beside him, took a breath of cold air.

"Which of us goes down first?" Looking back at everyone with a smile, Ning An asked lightly.

The air froze for a moment, no one spoke, and after a few seconds, Ron stepped forward.

"I'll go down first—" he said with a blank face.

"Ron—"

Harry and Hermione shouted almost at the same time.

"I've got to save Ginny." Ron looked back at the two of them, his eyes full of determination.

"I'll go too-" Harry also ran over and stood beside Ron, and Hermione followed and gave Ning An a complicated look, but there was no doubt that she was going down too.

"Don't worry, we all have to go down anyway." Ning An said lightly to the three of them.

"What? You're all going down? Harry was taken aback, and in his opinion there was no reason for Ning An to take any chances.

"Of course - stop talking nonsense, defeating the basilisk will also give me a good reputation." Ning An had just finished speaking, and at this time, Ron had already jumped into the black pipe.

Ning An didn't seem to be scared at all, followed closely behind, and jumped down casually.

Harry didn't hesitate and jumped after Ning An. Samantha walked over to the mouth of the pipe, looked at Hermione and sneered:

"What's the matter, little girl? Scared to jump? With that, he laughed sharply as he jumped into the tube.

Hermione just froze for a moment, and saw everyone jump down one after another, and she was worried about Ning An and Harry, worried about the situation below, and worriedly burrowed into the dark pipe.

All the way down, Hermione felt that the dark tunnel was endless, and along the way, she saw many other pipes in all directions.

After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and Hermione fell on the wet ground, only to see that Ning An and Harry had already lit up their wands to light up the surroundings.

"Looks like we're at the bottom of the lake?" Harry whispered, "It's damp in here."

"I think so, and it's still very deep under the lake." Ning An replied to Harry casually, but Harry lost his mind for a while, when was the last time he had such a bland conversation with Ning An?

A few people looked around a little, and then walked towards the depths of this dark tunnel, which was surrounded by damp walls carved with ancient patterns, and supported by stout stone pillars, I don't know how many years old.

Ron was at the front, anxious, but had to slow down, because everyone knew that there was a terrifying and deadly terrifying basilisk here.

At the same time, outside the long pipe that they slid down in Ning'an, in the bathroom where Myrtle was, it was particularly lively today.

Snape stood on the edge of the pool, staring at the tubes of the black hole, not knowing what to think.

"Oh my God—what is this? Professor Snape? "There's a voice behind her, it's McGonagall! She looked amazed, and at the same time her chest slumped slightly up and down, as if she was panting for air.

"Is the door open?" Snape asked, without looking back.

"It's opened—"

McGonagall frowned, feeling that Snape was in a strange state, "But why did you open the door to the Headmaster's office?"

"It was commanded." Snape was still staring at the entrance of the tube, as if listening.

"What is this?" He stepped forward, stood side by side with Snape, and asked, confused.

"The entrance to the chamber—"

A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Snape said coldly, "I followed Harry and Ningan what I heard."

"What ——!?"

McGonagall screamed at the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in front of her, and her eyes widened in horror when Snape mentioned Nyingan and Harry.

"Ning'an!? Harry!? What are they looking for a secret room? Where are you now? ”

Snape turned his head, looked coldly at Professor McGonagall, and said in a deep voice:

"They've gone down from here - weasleys, Granger, Slytherin's Samantha, Walter, and I saw Pani? Starr, it seems that there is also the eldest daughter of the Lanz family......"

Snape's long list of names really scared Professor McGonagall, her mouth wide open, and her face became very ugly: "Oh my God- this- this is crazy, Merlin is on top, he- what are they trying to do!?"

Ning An and his party walked forward in the secret room, and the darkness in front of them was like the huge mouth of an unknown monster, as if it was hidden in the darkness, as if it would jump out and swallow them at any time.

Ron walked in front with his wand in his hand, Harry and Ning An followed, and in a short time, he saw a faint light in front of him.

As they walked on, they descended a staircase, and saw a new small chamber, with a faint glow of fluorescent light on the walls, and many horrific sculptures of snakeheads carved into the stone walls.

"Ginny—"

Ron screamed and jumped down the steps, a chair was placed in the middle of the chamber, and Ginny Weasley was gagged and tied to the chair, her head tilted as if she had passed out.

"Ginny—how are you? Wake up! Ron came to Ginny's side, grabbed his sister's arm with both hands, and shook it vigorously.

Ning An and the others also hurriedly ran down the steps and gathered in the center.

"How is she?" Harry asked Ron anxiously.

"Whew—it's okay, just fainted."

Ron turned his head, the look on his face finally relaxed, and looked at Harry in reassurance.

Harry and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they began to look around.

But just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the darkness, and a boy's voice rang out.

"What a surprise to me—"

Everyone turned their heads in unison and stared into the darkness in front of them, only to see a boy in a Hogwarts uniform, pacing and walking leisurely towards them.

"I didn't expect so many people to come here......"

He was pale and bloodless, but unusually handsome, and his deep eyes scanned the crowd before finally stopping at Harry's face.

"Ahh The boy stared meaningfully at Harry.

Samantha, Walter, and Parney all looked at the boy who had appeared out of nowhere, and they were ready to pull out their wands, but the boy remained unconcerned, still staring at Harry coldly.

"Who are you! - You brought Ginny here?! ”

Harry couldn't stand the pressure of the other man's gaze, and he yelled at the boy in exchange for a scornful smile.

"Who am I——?"

He chuckled scoffingly, as if it were an interesting question: "How shall I answer you?" Harry Potter, can you call me - Tom? Riddle, I'm a student at Hogwarts - well, Slytherin. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and turned his gaze to Ning An and the others, with a strange look on his face

"Huh? How many of you are Slytherin too? How did you get mixed up with Harry Potter. The sarcasm in his voice clearly angered Samantha.

Samantha pushed Hermione, who was standing nearby, and suddenly pulled out her wand and pointed at the boy and shouted:

"Stop lying! Slytherin doesn't have you at all! Whatever the hell you are, you'd better get the hell out of here—"

"Hum—"

Before he finished speaking, a magic wand appeared in the boy's hand, and it pointed at Samantha very quickly, and a sharp sound came out, and the air seemed to roll up a blade of air and shoot at Samantha.

"Bang!"

However, before this sharp air blade could cut off Samantha's head, it hit Ning An's wand, and there was a bang in the secret room, and the evil curse was taken by Ning An.

After a moment of silence, everyone took out their wands and pointed them at Riddle, and the boy also looked at Ning An with a look of surprise, and said with curiosity:

"Nice? I didn't expect you to have a few powerful people around you, Harry Potter? ”

Ning An shrugged his shoulders, just holding his wand lightly, still not saying a word.

"Stop talking nonsense, who the hell are you!"

The unhurried attitude was so frustrating that Harry pointed his wand at the boy in front of him, who called himself Tom, and shouted.

"Don't worry, Harry—"

Riddle lowered his wand again, and by this time Ron had untied the rope from Ginny's body and carried her into the crowd, and he glanced up to see Riddle's wand in his hand.

"He's holding Ginny's wand! It was Ginny's wand. - He was the one who brought Ginny here. Ron yelled.

"You're the heir of Slytherin?"

"Faint!"

An unexpected burst of red light shot out from Laurel's wand, and almost before Harry could finish Harry's final question, he struck Riddle, and Laurel said to the crowd proudly:

"Don't you think it's better to knock him out?"

However, the next moment, she was speechless, and Laurel looked at Tom in a daze? Riddle.

I saw him standing there unscathed, looking at several people with a smile on his face, and the stun spell passed through his body, as if he were not in real life.

"Oops, it looks like someone is in a hurry—I'd like to talk to you a little more, but dealing with naïve little Ginny every day is exhausting." Riddle shook his head and said disdainfully:

"Now that no one can save you, I think you can only ask for more blessings."

With that, he turned his head and said a few words in a hissing voice to the four huge head sculptures carved on the wall behind him.

Only Harry understood what he was saying, that was

"Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."

Then, among the four heads, the symbol Salazar? The Slytherin one spun to the side and opened, revealing a deep black hole as far as the eye could see, and at the same time, something crept out of the darkness.

"It's a basilisk! - Be careful not to look into its eyes! ”

Ning An suddenly shouted, and then closed his eyes and dodged to the side. Hearing his words, everyone stepped back.

Although slightly unexpected, Riddle hissed in snake language:

"Kill him!"

Harry heard a loud bang like a violent earthquake, as if something was smashing on the ground, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, his heart was shocked, and he was already panicking, and after closing his eyes to face the darkness, his heart was even more confused.

Fear welled up in his heart, and Harry didn't know how he was going to fight this terrifying monster. He suddenly remembered Dumbledore's smile as he left, as if encouraging him.

His hands and feet were regained, his blood was surging, and Harry felt a flash of courage in his heart.

A sharp birdsong came, and everyone couldn't help but open their eyes to see a beautiful phoenix carrying a patched, dirty and old hat, flying into the secret room.

It circled twice before slowly landing on Harry's shoulder.

"Aha-look what you've recruited? A bird and a broken hat? Are you going to use this against me? Harry potter? ”

Riddle scoffed insolently.

"Fawkes—"

Harry looked at the Phoenix Fawkes on his shoulder, and the Sorting Hat in his hand, and he was a little puzzled, why did these two things suddenly appear?
