Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

54. Chapter 54 The Chamber of Secrets in the Castle

    Ivan and Harry grabbed Ron tightly. They were like sitting in a roller coaster that was rushing through underground pipes, rising, turning, turning, and quickly rushing down a dark, sticky, endless The slide.

    Because the pipe width was too narrow, Ivan had to stick it tightly on the basilisk.

    Even so, at the corner, he bumped into his pain and stared at Venus.

    He never knew that the Hogwarts pipeline design was like this. It was like a complicated labyrinth. They didn't always go down to the chamber.

    In a clearly old pipeline, they went straight up, and Ivan calculated the height estimate to come to the Ravenclaw Tower, the highest place in the school.

    At the highest point of the pipeline, basilisk took them to a strange oval room, where there were light blue credits everywhere, and all the books on the side of the room were books. From the thick dust accumulated above, it is known that no one has come for a long time. Over here.

    Ron, who was controlled by Tom Riddle, had a pretty surprised expression. He didn't know the place before. It was another secret room hidden in the school.

    "God damn it!"Tom Riddle said a few words in a sly voice.

    He wants basilisk to stop, but it is clear that the rooster's cry makes it scary, and basilisk does not listen to Tom Riddle's control at all, it panics and escapes with his fastest speed.

    The blue credit room disappeared instantly, and as they passed the central table, Ivan reached out and caught anything, a round object with a long chain.

    He held the thing tightly in his hand, and had not had time to look down, Basilisk took them down quickly. After a minute, with a loud bang, basilisk directly smashed the pipe, they were from the third floor Moaning Myrtle bathroom The inside rushed out.

    It rushed over with the faucet that carved the snake in the center, and Ron's mouth screamed.

    Suddenly, the faucet made a dazzling white light and began to spin quickly.

    The pool slowly disappeared from sight, and Ivan had just had time to see a very large water pipe, and the basilisk got in.

    This water pipe is much thicker than the pipes just now. It seems to be specially prepared for basilisk. Ivan can see that there are still many pipes that are opened in all directions, but none of them are so thick.

    The pipe is twisted and twisted, seven winding around, and the slope is steep all the way down.

    Ivan knows that they have slipped into deep, deep places in the school, even deeper than those in underground classrooms. Just as he gradually adapted to this rapid glide, they finally landed on the wet ground.

    The water pipes became level. They came out of the nozzle and fell heavily on the ground. A strong collision made Ivan and Harry release their hands at the same time. Basilisk slipped into the distance with Ron and quickly disappeared.

    This is a dark stone tunnel that is too big to stand inside.

    "Where is this?"Harry stood up with his ass.

    "We were taken to a few miles below the school."

    Ivan's voice echoed in the dark tunnel. "If I didn't guess wrong, it's probably under the lake."

    He narrowed his eyes and looked at the black, sticky walls around him.

    Then he remembered what he had just caught at the top of the castle, the room full of blue credits.

    "Lumos!"His wand gave off a faint light.

    With a faint glow, Ivan saw the round object in his hand as if it were a pocket watch, but there was no scale on it, only a strange pointer.

    "What is this?"Harry also came over.

    "I don't know, the room that I just passed in the basilisk accidentally caught, it seems to be a magic item."Ivan hesitated to move the pointer.

    "Ivan, this stuff is still waiting to go back and study. Going fast, we have to hurry and Ron is taken away by him. ”Harry said eagerly.

    "Yeah, that's right!"Ivan stuffed this strange item into his pocket. They really had to hurry. Tom Riddle was drawing on Ron's vitality. The longer it was, the worse it was for them.

    Along the tunnel, two people quickly walked forward and slammed on the damp ground, making a loud noise.

    The surroundings are too dark, they can only see a small place in front of them.

    The two people wanda faintly light, reflecting their shadows on the wet walls, looking like monsters.

    "Harry, Tom Riddle uses Ron's broken wand, and like the magic of the cane, it requires extremely powerful control, and in a short time, he can't make a powerful spell."Ivan whispered as he walked. "I will attract the attention of basilisk in a moment, and you will go to the diary."

    "Journal?!"Harry snorted.

    “It’s the black cover of the diary that we found at Christmas, that’s the source of Tom Riddle’s strength.”Ivan whispered, "Remember, after you find it, you can find a way to destroy it. Riddle doesn't know that we know this. This is our only chance."

    "I remember!"Harry nodded and suddenly grabbed Ivan's shoulder. "Look, there's an thing there, isn't it..."

    Ivan stretched out wand, and with a faint glow, he saw the outline of a behemoth, lying on the other side of the tunnel, motionless.

    "This is the skin of basilisk. Maybe someone wants to collect this stuff."

    In front of two people, a huge snake skin, green and colorful, very bright, coiled on the ground lying on the tunnel, the inside is empty, full twenty feet long. Obviously, it was the basilisk that had just come down.

    They walked forward again, carefully turned another corner, and finally found a solid wall in front of them, engraved with two intertwined snakes, their eyes were set with big, shines like Emerald starlight.

    "Harry, talk to them, use Parseltongue."Ivan whispered.

    Harry stepped closer and he felt his throat dry.

    He tried to make these two stone snakes imaginary, but they didn't need them. Their eyes looked exactly the same.

    OPENHarry said in a low, dumb snoring.

    The two snakes separated, and the stone wall split from the middle and slowly slipped to the sides and disappeared.

    Ivan hurried in and there was a long, dimly lit room in front of them. Many of the pillars engraved with the entangled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that melted in the darkness of the sky, cast a long shadow of the entire room filled with green and mysterious.

    "It's Slytherin's Chamber!"Ivan whispered.

    The dead silence in the secret room, two people holding the wand, slowly advance between the stone pillars coiled by the serpent.

    Every time they take a careful step, they create a hollow, loud echo between the walls of the ghost building.

    When they walked parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, there was a statue of the same height as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall behind it. Ivan looked up and saw the huge face above: it was an old-fashioned, monkey-like face, a sparse long beard, almost dragged to the hem of a carved robe of stone, two grays Padfoot stands on the smooth floor of the room.

    Between the two feet, Ron is like a dead man, lying face down.
