Chapter 320: The Cottage Heir
The bed next door was horrible and quiet......
Madam Pomfrey also fell asleep, and Kyle put on his shoes and clothes and left the school hospital briskly to the same silent castle.
However, it wasn't until Kyle arrived at the castle that he remembered that Professor McGonagall had said that Dumbledore wasn't at school today.
But it didn't matter, he met Professor McGonagall on the third floor.
Professor McGonagall is furious about seeing Kyle in the castle.
"You should be in the school hospital...... Instead of hanging out here! β
"Professor McGonagall, I know where the Chamber of Secrets is!" Kyle said quickly, "Its entrance is in the myrtle bathroom, under the faucet that doesn't come out of the water. β
"What?" Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle in surprise, then reacted immediately.
"You wait here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
She waved her wand, and a transparent tabby cat suddenly jumped out, which was her patronus.
Professor McGonagall said something to the tabby, and then it nimbly jumped up the stairs, and disappeared after a few dodges.
Kyle didn't wait honestly in the process.
In fact, by the time Professor McGonagall summoned the Patronus, he had already left through a secret passage behind him.
Kyle knew that the professors wouldn't let him go with him, but he had to.
I don't know if it's because of that strange dream, Kyle has had this idea in his heart since he came to the third floor, and it's getting stronger and stronger.
Kyle came out of the other side of the tunnel, made his way, and sped to Myrtle's bathroom.
All the "exploding textbooks" that had been laid out here had disappeared inexplicably, but Kyle couldn't care about them anymore.
He opened the entrance to the secret room in snake language, and said to the surprised myrtle next to him, "The professors will come over in a while, remember to tell them that this is the secret room below." β
"......"
Myrtle seems to say something, but Kyle doesn't hear it.
He had jumped into the pipe and was rapidly sliding downward.
There was a slimy feeling in his back, and Kyle regretted it a little.
Why didn't he use a broomstick just now......
Soon, Kyle was back on the surface, quickly walking through the damp and dark tunnels to the final door to the chamber.
Strangely, after arriving here, the buzzing in Kyle's head disappeared and he returned to normal.
He spoke to the entrance to the chamber and spoke snake again.
"Open!"
The stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared......
The Chamber of Secrets didn't look any different than before, but Kyle noticed that at the foot of the Slytherin statue was a black journal.
"I didn't expect you to come." A voice said softly.
Kyle wasn't too surprised, and turned his head to look in the direction the voice was coming from.
A tall boy leaned against the nearest stone pillar and looked at him, the boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, black, with thin lips, and a handsome appearance.
At first glance, it looks a bit like Cedric.
"Tom Riddle."
"It's me." Riddle nodded, "Long time no see, my ...... Pal? β
He walked over, "I've been wondering who will be the first to find the location of the chamber...... Dumbledore? Harry potter?
Unexpectedly, it was you. β
"Surprised?" Kyle asked.
"Not really." Riddle said with great interest, "You are as smart and thoughtful as I was back then...... It's not surprising to find the location of the secret room. β
"Don't put gold on your face." Kyle scoffed, "I'm in my third year, and I've won two Special Contributions to the School Award, as well as the Second Class Order of the Order of the Merlin.
As for you, you only got the Special Contribution Award once in the fifth grade...... Gee. β
Riddle's face finally changed slightly, and it was not as calm as before.
"As I said, none of those things matter, only power is everything!"
He took two steps forward again, and he didn't know when he had an extra wand in his hand.
It was Ron's wand.
"We're the same kind of people, Kyle, and those filthy mudbloods don't deserve to sit in the same classroom as you."
Riddle held out his hand, "Follow me, and in the witness of the great Salazar Slytherin, I assure you that we can change the world and usher in a new, glorious era for the wizarding world." β
Kyle squinted his eyes as he looked at the wand in his hand that was faintly facing him, "I only have one question, how did you get out." β
"To be honest, I don't know." Riddle smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth as he continued to stare at Kyle.
"I was still trying to find a way to gain your trust...... But one day, I suddenly found myself leaving a place where I didn't feel any magic, and I met someone else.
Although that man was timid and cowardly, and did not even dare to lift that dirty disguise, he was much more naΓ―ve than you should be, and easily opened his soul to me......"
"You see, with his help, how good I have become."
"Who is it?" Kyle asked again.
"Count me as my future servant...... Riddle said nonchalantly, "and now, it's your turn to answer my question."
Although you have deceived me, I don't mind, as long as you are willing to follow me...... I'm not to blame for everything I did before. β
"Hmm......" Kyle touched his chin, "Can I think about it." β
"Of course." Riddle said nonchalantly, "The entrance to the secret room you left in the bathroom has been closed by me, and no one will disturb us anytime soon. β
"yes, that's ......."
Without warning, Kyle suddenly raised his wand.
A row of sharp stone cones grew from Riddle's feet, piercing his body.
But Riddle didn't care.
"I'm sorry, I thought you'd agree."
Kyle smiled, "Would you believe me if I said I just slipped my hand?" β
"What do you think?" Riddle looked at Kyle with a hideous expression,
"Drill the heart and cut the bones!"
"Shadowless!"
Two lights, one red and one white, collided in the air, and then each changed direction and fell to different places.
The white light streaked across the pillar next to it, leaving a deep incision in it.
Riddle looked at the pillar in amazement.
"This level of black magic, as well as the silent spell that preceded it...... Of the little wizards of this age, you are the strongest I have ever seen.
I'm a little reluctant to kill you. β
That being said, the sinister smile on his face was even more pronounced.
"That's the end of the game, let me show you my true power, the power from Salazar Slytherin!"
Riddle turned, facing the face of the Slytherin statue, opening his mouth to sizzle loudly.
"Talk to me......"
"Talk to me......"
Two voices rang out at the same time.
The sudden change made Riddle subconsciously turn his head.
However, it was this pause that Kyle had already finished reciting the snake language first.
"Speak to me, Slytherin...... One of the greatest of the Hogwarts Four! β
"You...... You...... That's impossible! β
For the first time, Riddle had a look of fear on his face, and he turned around sharply and roared, "Damn, how do you know how to summon a basilisk!" β
"Because I'm the true heir of Slytherin." Kyle gave Lockhart's signature smile, "You impostor. β
