Kyle walks around the chamber.

Not only did Riddle disappear, but even on the pillar on the left, there was no trace left by the Shadowless Spell.

Everything that had happened before was like a very real dream.

But the pain in his thigh, and the journal in his hand, tell Kyle clearly...... It's all true.

Kyle walked around and finally looked up at the Slytherin statue.

I don't know what's going on, but let's destroy the diary first...... If the basilisk is still inside.

"Talk to me......"

Kyle utters the snake language, but instead of opening its mouth as before, the serpentine statues on the pillar move.

They lived...... Swim down the pillar like a real snake and gather around Kyle.

This familiar scene made Kyle's whole person feel bad.

It's confirmed, he's dreaming!

I guess it was too light just now, so I didn't wake up.

Kyle gritted his teeth and was about to pinch himself again...... Suddenly, a deep voice came from above the chamber.

"Okay, what do you want to say?"

"Who!" Kyle jerked his head up.

At the same time, with the sound of the voice, the snake statues that came to life began to connect with each other, and soon formed a huge circular arch.

A wavy, soap bubble-like transparent curtain gradually emerges and fills the arch.

After a few shakes of the curtain, a middle-aged wizard in a green robe appeared.

He looked at Kyle and asked expressionlessly, "Didn't you just want to talk to me?" ”

"You...... I ......" Kyle opened his mouth, but was speechless in surprise.

He came up with a name, but the idea was ridiculous.

"Salazar, I think you should have been more proactive, that kid doesn't know what's going on."

At this time, a second person appeared in the arch, a fat witch...... She looked exactly like the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff in the common room.

"I must be dreaming!" Kyle muttered quietly.

"You didn't, I promise you." A wizard in a red cloak said with a smile, and he was also the third person to appear in the arch.

Behind him was a cold-faced witch.

Four people, all together.

It took Kyle a long time to recover as he grabbed his hair, "No, it's impossible......"

"I guess you know who we are." The cloaked wizard said with a smile.

He also pushes the pointed hat he wears on his head, as if to give Kyle a hint.

"Yes...... And I'm convincing myself of this unthinkable. ”

Kyle looked at the four people in the archway, "Actually, in my opinion, you should have been a thousand years ago...... I mean, how could I possibly meet you. ”

"Because of time."

Salazar Slytherin said calmly, "You woke up the basilisk, but you didn't get it back to sleep, because the lack of a specific password allowed the basilisk to instinctively destroy the special time-turner in the statue. ”

He pulled a golden pocket watch out of his pocket.

"It has two of them, one in the future and one in the past, and if the future is damaged, then it will have some connection with the past."

Kyle nodded understandingly.

The meaning of this is that when he first summoned the basilisk, Salazar Slytherin knew about it thousands of years ago.

This is an unbelievable way, Kyle has never even heard of it.

This is already a prediction of the future.

"But you...... Why didn't you show up then? ”

"Because he can't do it."

Gryffindor laughed and said, "His hand was meant to protect me, for fear that I would stew his precious basilisk." I didn't expect to find you a thousand years later.

Time has spanned so long that the connection between the converters alone is simply not enough for us to have a direct conversation with you......

Unless you've also changed the time to make yourself less "stable".

I guess you've been particularly obsessed with using a time turner at some point......"

Kyle didn't speak.

It's no wonder he always felt that something was wrong before, but now he has figured it all out.

He didn't care about the certificates at all, but he took twelve courses uncharacteristically...... There are also two applications for a time converter......

"It's you!" Kyle suddenly said, "What about the voices I heard at the beginning......"

"It's a trivial side effect." Gryffindor said, "Salazar thought you were trying to do something bad with the basilisk, so he was a little rougher. ”

Kyle still has a stomach full of questions to ask, but at this moment, the curtain suddenly flashes, and the appearance of the Big Four has become much more blurred.

"We're running out of time." Helga Hufflepuff stepped forward and pushed Gryffindor away,

"Listen to me, kid, I know you have a lot of problems, but it doesn't matter anymore, what you need to do now is to find a way to get time back on the right track, otherwise you will most likely be stuck in the time loop forever."

"A word of advice, boy." Gryffindor said, "Never touch the time turner, it will make you lose the shelter of time." ”

"To compensate, I'll help you smooth out the effects of the time turner." Slytherin gave him a faint look, "You can also take the basilisk with you, the password to put it to sleep is...... Rest long and wait for the glory of tomorrow. ”

"Your Occlumency is terrible." Rowena Ravenclaw spoke for the first time.

Her voice was calm, "I suggest you learn this technique first, and when you find yourself at a standstill, put on my crown." ”

By this time, the image in the arch had become a thick mosaic, and then it disappeared completely.

The serpents that make up the arch climb back to the pillars, and the chamber is calm again.

Kyle stood still and let out a long breath.

He had actually met the Hogwarts Four thousands of years ago, and he had spoken to them face to face.

It's not scientific...... But it's magical.

Kyle wanted to brush up on the bizarre experience, but he quickly remembered what Hufflepuff had said.

Listening to her, it seems that she is not in the original time, and it is very likely that she will be trapped here forever.

Kyle didn't hesitate and immediately ran out of the secret room.

There was no Professor McGonagall outside the backroom, and there was no Harry...... Kyle runs all the way to the end and follows the pipe back to Myrtle's bathroom.

Myrtle wasn't here either, and Kyle pulled the door open and walked out of the bathroom.

The castle was filled with the sounds of talking and laughter.

In Kyle's mind, this kind of buzz hadn't happened for a long time.

He followed the hallway and soon found two students walking together.

"Hello." Kyle stepped forward to say hello.

"Oh, I know you, Kyle of Hufflepuff." One of them smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Terry Bout from Ravenclaw." ”

"Sally Ann Pox." Another said, "We're both Ravenclaw second graders. ”

"It's an honor to meet you." Kyle responded, "Excuse me, where are you going now?" ”

"To the Halloween dinner, of course."

The Tyrebut student said, "I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore invited a skeleton dance troupe, and this year's Halloween dinner must be fantastic!" ”
