Chapter 74 Basilisk
"So there's only that left, right? Are you really going?" Alphard whispered into Tom's ear.
Tom's ears turned a suspicious red.
That's right, they spent a few days searching the entire third floor. The boys' bathroom and the oil painting with water were the places that received the most attention, but they found nothing related to the fountain or the secret room.
Now, that leaves the girls' bathroom.
Alphard's smile had a very obvious hint of teasing, if the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was really in the girls' bathroom, hahaha, he could laugh at this joke for a year.Young Master Black was secretly happy, while pretending: "Maybe our reasoning is wrong, should we think about it again?"
The heir of Slytherin couldn't hide the depression on his face: "It's really possible there. I found the map when the school was founded yesterday. The location of the girls' bathroom on the third floor was originally an auditorium, an auditorium with a fountain."
Tom admitted that he deliberately discussed the Chamber of Secrets with Alphard in the empty underground classroom.If someone is really watching him, he doesn't believe that the other party won't take the bait.Tom wasn't afraid of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets being exposed.If the magic that is said to be able to destroy Muggle-borns can be controlled by him, then he needn't be afraid; if it cannot be controlled, he will disclose the secret to the professors.Anyway, there is no resurrection stone in it.
Come on, let's meet in the secret room.
Tom's final date of action was Christmas.Due to the tense external situation, the number of people staying in school this year is almost twice that of last year, but the campus is still empty compared to usual.Tom believes that the saint's eyeliner will not give himself a holiday because of Christmas, but on the other hand, this time can avoid most curious little wizards.
December 1939, 12, was a special day.At around two o'clock in the morning of this day, the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, which has been hidden by time for many years, will once again see the light of day.
The heir of Slytherin led his little friend to stay in the girls' bathroom on the third floor for less than a minute before discovering the clue.The unique ring-shaped sink in the center of the toilet looks like a blooming five-petal flower from a top view, which is a perfect combination of geometric beauty and classical style.On one of the faucets, Tom found a small, lifelike sculpture in the shape of a snake.
Alphard shone the tip of his wand that was shining with blue light on it, and the little snake's green eyes showed a kind of eerie blue-green under the blue light. "No spell prompt?"
"Then say something," Tom answered without thinking, and then hissed.
Accompanied by the sound of snake language, the copper faucet rotated rapidly, and even the petal-shaped pool split and disappeared. Finally, a huge circular black hole appeared on the ground, and it was unknown where it led down.
"Beautiful!" Alphard praised, "We really found it! But it doesn't look... very easy to walk (in fact, it's dirty)." As he spoke, he took out "Muggle children love Playing" glass balls, throwing them into the water pipe channel.
The rolling sound of "Gululu" rang for a long time, accompanied by a clear echo, and finally there was a muffled "pop".
"Sounds like a soft landing. How's it going? Going in?"
Tom said unequivocally, "Go!"
Alphard watched his always cautious little friend jump bravely and fearlessly into the black hole like a Gryffindor, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He probably couldn't understand the magical response of the Slytherin heir to the Chamber of Secrets, but now that he was here, he I can only give up my life to accompany the gentleman.
"It's a big deal to burn your clothes and take a shower three times when you go back." Alphard said to himself when he jumped into the water pipe.
The inside of the water pipe is like a long slide, winding and extending to the ground.With his eyes closed, Alphard could feel the wind and the mud hitting his face at the same time. The speed was getting faster and faster, and even made his face ache.Just when he felt that his cleanliness was about to fail, the water pipe changed from downward to horizontal and slipped for a while. He fell out of the pipe and fell into a wet stone tunnel with a layer of water on the ground. Moss, it doesn't hurt.
Tom stood cleanly not far in front of him, holding a bright magic lamp in his left hand and a wand in his right hand, and cast a "clean up" on the muddy Alphard.
"Thank...thank you." Alphard stood up and looked at the obviously rough tunnel with the light, "I understand why this passage is dotted, it's not for people to walk through."
They walked along the tunnel, gradually leaving the hose behind.This stone tunnel seems to be the center of the sewer, and there are often low water-logged forks extending from both sides, and the roads in those forks are even more difficult to walk.Although the stagnant water is flowing, it still exudes a faint odor.
Tom and Alphard did not explore where these forks led, but followed the most obvious passage, and finally came to a stone wall carved with two large snakes.
"I am the heir of Slytherin," said Tom in Parseltongue.
The stone wall cracked from it, and the door slowly opened.
The scene behind the door made Alphard's eyes widen - a colorful python, no, it can't be called a python, no giant python can grow to such a size.The diameter of the snake's body was higher than that of a little wizard. In fact, what they saw was only a section of body entrenched in the green mist, with gorgeous and dangerous lights shining on every snake scale.
"The Basilisk." Alphard swallowed hard, "It is also called the Snake King. Its teeth are highly poisonous, and looking directly into its eyes can kill people."
Tom didn't speak, but walked around the basilisk in small steps.It was really big, and it took them minutes just to get around.When they circled around a 100-degree angle, they finally saw the basilisk's head, patterned in purple and dark green, resting peacefully on the snake's body.Thankfully, the basilisk's eyes are closed.
At this point, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at this huge secret room.The stone pillars surrounded by giant snakes are towering, the ceiling is too high to see clearly, and the whole space is filled with green mist.
Alphard bumped Tom's arm: "What next?"
"See if there's another way," said Tom. "It's hard to get up the pipe without a broom."
Alphard rolled his eyes: "Then you still jump down without hesitation? What if there is no other passage?"
"Then wake Sleeping Beauty and take us up."
Alphard: ...
Complaining to each other, the two walked around the wall of the secret room. The wall was bare, with no decorations or secret passages.It's just that at the end of the chamber of secrets, there is a huge statue of an old man as tall as the room: with a wrinkled face and a long beard that rivals Dumbledore's.
"Hey, there are words." Alphard's eyes were sharp, and he found the words on the instep of the old man's statue, which were carved in Old English. "Heir of Slytherin," Alphard recognized word for word, "open your mouth, there is no wish you cannot fulfill; open your feet, there is no place you cannot go - Tom, how do you Look?"
Tom buried his head in the old man's portrait, hissing incessantly.He was trying passwords, but to no avail. "It shouldn't be. Since it's engraved here, it should be the password to open the passage." He thought about it, and he missed Wendy very much at this time, but then he thought about the super exciting slide trip when he came in... Sure enough, not bringing her here was the right choice.
Tom's brain is not bad, he immediately remembered that the password for the fireplace is "Great wizard Slytherin, please give me fire", if it is in a similar format...
"Great wizard Slytherin, please step forward and show me the way."
A stone door rose silently between the feet of the old man's statue.
"You can enter!"
Tom pulled Alphard into the stone door.The stone door closed again without a sound.The corridor, the wall lamp, and the sand and stones that cut off the corridor a few meters away are familiar scenes.
"Here is the end of the corridor in the fireplace." Tom's voice was full of excitement, and he amplified the volume after the stone gate blocked the basilisk, "If this passage is not destroyed, it should be transmitted from the fireplace, and then go all the way to Here, enter the Chamber of Secrets from between the feet of the Slytherin statue. If this is the case, then there should be a password prompt-ah, I found it, just behind the stone door, look, Alphard, 'Please step forward, great Slytherin', 'Speak to me, great Slytherin'."
Alphard's thinking also started to run: "The two sentences engraved on the back of the foot are only in English, and there is no snake language, because they are not real passwords, but just hints. If the person who comes is walking the path of the fireplace, he can naturally Obtain the correct password; but if you go in the wrong direction and enter the secret room from the dotted entrance, the words on the instep of the statue are a reminder to future generations."
"correct!"
"Now the question is, which secret path will 'talk to me' open?"
Tom smiled slightly: "Try it and you'll know." Opening the passages of the secret room one after another gave Tom a lot of confidence in Parseltongue, and adding that "stepping forward" gave a dead end, so he naturally tried to "speak to me" became a necessity.However, what he didn't expect was that just after he finished chanting this sentence in snake language, there was a shrill scream from behind the stone door leading to the secret room.
The two little wizards glanced at each other quickly, and at the same time saw anxiety in each other's eyes.Someone followed them into the secret room!
"Go ahead, great Slytherin."
The stone door opened, and Tom rushed into the secret room one step ahead of Alphard, and saw the slowly wriggling body of the basilisk, a huge reptile, full of frightening vitality. "The second password is for waking up the basilisk!" The thought suddenly appeared in Tom's mind.Regret, fear, nervousness, all kinds of emotions have no time to feel, Tom has made the most correct response plan.
He yelled, "Alphad, close your eyes!"
Immediately afterwards, Tom pushed his little friend behind the stone door, but he ran towards the basilisk.The head of the basilisk was raised high, and the eyelids moved, as if they were about to open in the next second. "Close your eyes!" Tom yelled. He couldn't see who was screaming sitting paralyzed in front of the basilisk, but judging by the sound and size, it was definitely just a little wizard.
At this time, Tom didn't dare to look up at the basilisk's head, but just looked down at the snake's body, and he could see the obvious attack posture, and the target was the little wizard who was about to faint from fright.Tom could imagine the basilisk opening its bloody mouth and revealing its poisonous fangs.
In this situation, even if you close your eyes and don't look into the basilisk's eyes, you can't escape death.
Tom gritted his teeth and roared in an unprecedentedly loud snake language: "Don't hurt that child! I order you in the name of the descendants of Slytherin, don't hurt anyone here!"
The giant snake's attacking stance stopped.Tom heard a hoarse snake voice above his head, indistinguishable: "...at your service...the heir..."
Tom finally relaxed completely, his back was soaked: "Basilisk, I order you to close your eyes."
The stalker who almost killed Shekou was Abraxas Malfoy.
Tom's ears turned a suspicious red.
That's right, they spent a few days searching the entire third floor. The boys' bathroom and the oil painting with water were the places that received the most attention, but they found nothing related to the fountain or the secret room.
Now, that leaves the girls' bathroom.
Alphard's smile had a very obvious hint of teasing, if the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was really in the girls' bathroom, hahaha, he could laugh at this joke for a year.Young Master Black was secretly happy, while pretending: "Maybe our reasoning is wrong, should we think about it again?"
