Chapter 156: Tom Riddle Appears
......
Harry and Verlin left after a while, as the basilisk was eating, and Van Lin was already worried about Lara's fate, and Van Lin was afraid that by the time they arrived, Laura would be like a bone on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Van Lin didn't believe that an angry basilisk would sensibly restrain his desire to eat without hurting Laura. Even if Laura was the one who opened the secret room this time, it is not surprising that the last time the secret room was opened was Tom, the soul in the diary.
The march didn't last long, and soon, Vanlin and Harry were at the end of the pipeline.
It was a large, circular portal, like a filter door for a pipe, but it wasn't hollowed-out.
Van Lin could see the pattern from a distance, the Slytherin style was inlaid with the Slytherin emblem, the blue-black snake!
"Harry......" Van Lin took two steps forward, touching the statue of the serpent above with his hand, "I think I need you to do something now!"
"What?" Harry looked at Van Lin suspiciously, and Harry stepped forward and touched the pattern with his hand, and a cold touch came from his hand, and there was some dampness on it.
"What should I do?"
"In snake language, Harry, this is the key to entry!"
"Oh...... Okay......" Harry nodded.
He took two steps back, cleared his throat and said with a serious face, "Open!"
But the door in front of me didn't mean to move in the slightest.
"Please, Harry......" Van Lin looked at Harry a little speechless, "You just spoke English, not snake language!"
"But I don't know how to ......"
"You think of it, this door, as a snake, and you're talking to a snake!"
"Oh...... Good ......"
Harry smiled awkwardly, he closed his eyes, and when he did, he gave a slight stir, and when he did, his voice turned into snake language, just like he had been at the fight club.
Van Lin saw the portal in front of him change, and the outer circle of snake heads shrank towards the middle of the door, and their bodies became distorted.
There was a mechanical thud coming from the door, as if something had been opened, and with a bang, the door popped open, and a puff of moisture came from the damp pavement.
"Let's go!" Van Lin said, leading the way into the new passage, and Harry following closely. Both of them were starting to get nervous.
Van Lin stood at the end of a stone chamber with Harry. The stone chamber was quite large, like a hall for their dinner.
However, the light here is dim. The towering stone pillars were entwined with more stone-carved pythons, all the way up, disappearing into the dark ceiling.
Not far away, the murmuring of water could still be heard in Van Lin, perhaps it was an underground river that connected directly to the Black Lake.
Van Lin stood, his heart beating fast as the darkness around him and the sound of a little living water not far away.
If nothing else, this is the end, where the basilisk hides.
But everything else here seems too quiet except for the sound of the water, and the silence is a little frightening.
Van Lin looked cautiously at the stone pillars carved with giant pythons, and Van Lin was not sure if the basilisk was hiding in the dark corner behind the pillars. This made Van Lin feel very uneasy.
The most important thing is Laura's case. Laura was unconscious before she was captured by the basilisk, and her face was completely bloodless, and Van Lin couldn't be sure if Laura was still alive or not.
Van Lin drew his wand on guard, as did Harry, and the two of them slowly advanced between the pillars carved with pythons, each step reverberating through the walls.
Van Lin and Harry both squinted, the magic on Van Lin's wand had not dissipated, he was ready to give the basilisk a hard eye curse whenever there was a movement, he could still close his eyes, this would at least ensure that he would not die in the first place.
The blood that flowed from his nostrils and ears had dried up, which made Fan Lin's face a little terrifying at the moment, and of course, this was also his blood-red eyes.
Van Lin and Harry just walked forward step by step with their wands in hand.
Van Lin noticed that the hollow eye sockets of the stone snakes seemed to be constantly watching their every move. The slightest twitch in his abdomen would make him think that there was some movement.
As they rounded the last pair of pillars together, a sculpture the height of the stone chamber jumped into his sight. The sculpture stands against the back wall.
Because it was a bit far away, Van Lin had to add an eagle eye to himself to be able to see all the details of the statue.
The face was quite old, like a monkey, with a long, sparse beard that hung straight to the ground. In front of him was the beach water tan, from which the sound of the water came from. The lower lip of the statue rises above the water.
In front of the waterhole, lay a man with a thin build, blond hair, dressed in black, with his face facing up.
"Laura......" Van Lin shouted, he and Harry looked at each other, they didn't care about the basilisk anymore, their target was now lying not far in front of them, life and death were uncertain.
"Laura......" The two of them ran over quickly, Harry was already a little panicked, he kept muttering about Laura you can't die or something like that, and Van Lin was in a terrible mood.
Vanlin saw Harry toss his wand aside and put Laura's head on his lap.
Van Lin carefully put his hand under Laura's nose, which also allowed Van Lin to touch Laura's skin.
Her skin was cold, like a cold stone.
"How's it going, Van Lin?" said Harry.
"And breathe!" ......" Van Lin waved his wand, and a warming spell instantly sank into Laura's body. He tried to get Laura back to some body temperature, but it didn't work, Laura's body only warmed up a little, and then it became unusually cold again, as if the magic of Van Lin couldn't stay in Laura's body at all.
"Useless ......" abruptly, a familiar voice came from behind Van Lin.
A tall, dark-haired boy was leaning on a nearest pillar looking at him. He looked unusually blurry, as if Vanlin was looking at him through frosted glass. But it's still recognizable.
"Tom?"
"That's right......," Tom took two steps, "you can't save her, or you don't have that ability at all." ”
"Who is this?" asked Harry, somewhat confused.
"Tom Riddle!" Van Lin stood up, and he aimed his wand at Tom.
"The soul in this diary, or the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, are you right, Tom?"
