The problem is that they can't see each other when they are invisible, and Fiona can't follow him.

Sharing a cloak is actually a good idea, but the relationship between the two of them is obviously inappropriate. Riddle thought for a while, stretched out his wand from under the cloak, let Fiona hold the other end, and straightened the cloak again. Cover the wand well too.

Just like that, Riddle pulled Fiona out of the common room with the help of his wand.

Fiona's footsteps were so soft that, even in the silent corridor, Riddle could hardly hear a sound even inches from her.

Yet the tug of the wand in his hand told him that what was next to him was not a cloud of air or a ghost,

This feeling is a bit novel.

Riddle did not lack the experience of physical intimacy, and when he was young, he did not refuse to accept sexual pleasure, but this kind of shallow pleasure was not attractive to him, nor was it in his life. There was the slightest fluctuation in his mood.

However, his wand, which has always been used to launch evil spells to kill people, his most personal sharp weapon that has never been touched by others, is held softly by Fiona at this moment, becoming the medium connecting them, Pulling her to follow in his footsteps, heading in the same direction.This strange and subtle feeling caused strange waves in his heart.

Riddle found that his intense hostility towards Fiona seemed to be slowly fading.

Compared with the desire to give her a whole set of curse packages at the beginning, he now sees that she has less killing intent and more helplessness and irritability—and the person who made him helpless and irritated was actually crossed off the death list by him , which is strange and eccentric enough in itself.

But he quickly found a reasonable reason for his abnormal change.

After all, the two of them are so similar, looking at the other self, no matter how hateful she is, it doesn't seem so unbearable-or in other words, she should be so hateful to suit his liking.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Riddle avoided the professor who was watching the night and Pringle who had been killed by him once, and also avoided the house elf who came out to clean at night. Taking into account Fiona, he slowed down again, and the two It took a long time to walk to the women's bathroom on the second floor.

When he got there, Riddle untied his invisibility cloak and looked at Fiona who also showed her figure.

She glanced around, but she didn't show any doubts about this unsuitable environment for Riddle to appear, and quietly waited for his next move.

Riddle walked to the sink and spoke Parseltongue.The entrance to the secret room was slowly opened in the white light. He turned around and saw Fiona raised her eyebrows slightly with interest, and made a polite invitation gesture.

"Welcome to Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, you will be the first person outside of the Slytherin blood."

"No," the system reminded, "There are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Ginny..."

"To shut up!"

Riddle decided to send all the killing intent recovered from Fiona to the system.

16. Raiders No.16 step invitation, accepted

There was too much dirt in the water pipes, so Riddle took off his coat and let Fiona put it under his body. He didn't expect this action to give her points, but just in case she thought the environment was not good, so she was angry and deducted points.

He had already experienced her outrageous ability to vent anger.

Unexpectedly, Fiona's favorability increased a little.

Why was she sometimes indifferent to her acts of thoughtfulness, and sometimes coldly accepted?In what strange position was her itch?

Riddle, who still couldn't scratch Fiona's itch, was puzzled.

With Riddle in front and Fiona behind, the two of them slid down the pipe and into a wide, wet, muddy tunnel.

Fiona was inevitably stained with a little mud when she fell to the ground, but she didn't show any displeasure. Holding up her wand to condense the fluorescence, she squinted at the dark, wet stone walls around her.

"This is under the Black Lake?" Her tone was conjecture, but her expression was determined.

Riddle liked talking to smart people without him wasting too much explaining.

"Yes," he held up his wand and walked ahead to lead the way. Seeing the shadows of the two of them stretched and twisted on the wall into tangled water plants, he said slowly, "Actually, it's not too far from our dormitory."

Fiona was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, she had already thought of a coherent inference.

"Hogwarts Castle didn't have bathrooms in the era of the Big Four, let alone plumbing pipes, so this passage leading to Salazar Slytherin's chamber of secrets must not have been built by him. It should have been rebuilt In , the descendants of Slytherin changed the entrance to the women's bathroom in order to hide the chamber of secrets after discovering the chamber of secrets. But why did you change it into a women's bathroom? It is very inconvenient for male descendants like you to enter. The necessity lies in Where? Could it be the water pipe? The water pipe is not for people, but for other creatures? Such a huge creature lives at the bottom of a wet and dark lake, and it is related to Salazar Slytherin, the 'key' to enter the secret room It's Parseltongue-"

Fiona's soliloquies stopped when she reached the end of the tunnel, and she looked up at the two entwined snakes carved on the wall, and her eyes fell on the green gemstones that served as eyes.

Riddle saw a smile break across her pale face, brighter than the emeralds shining in the dark tunnel.

"Yes—basilisk." Fiona concluded softly.

Riddle almost wanted to applaud her excellent observation and reasoning skills, as well as her wealth of knowledge.

It's really not wrong for him to fall into her hands several times.

Controlling his expression, Riddle nodded flatly, "Obviously, the answer is not difficult to find."

The system answered abruptly: "You have been looking for it for five years."

Riddle: "..."

Since the existence of the system, it is not easy to pretend to be forceful.

Riddle said "open" to the wall in snake language, and the entangled snakes immediately separated, and the stone wall split from the middle and slid to both sides, revealing the vast space behind the wall.

A green light filled the huge room. Countless stone pillars carved with serpentine patterns were like the arms of giants, supporting the ceiling hidden in the darkness, and casting twisted and treacherous black shadows in the dark green light.

Instead of being frightened by this eerie scene, Fiona leaned closer to a pillar and looked up at the big snake coiled above it carefully.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as the snake on the courtyard emblem, does it look like a basilisk?" She asked with interest.

Riddle didn't pay much attention to it before, and only glanced at it when Fiona asked.

"Maybe..." He paused, his eyes suddenly froze.

Among the large snakes entangled on the stone pillar, there is a snake with a small crown on its head.

It’s not that he didn’t notice this detail. He saw it when he first came in and thought it was a symbol of Salazar Slytherin’s view that the Slytherin house was noble and respected, so he didn’t Think again.

Only now did he realize that the crown on the serpent's head seemed to be Ravenclaw's crown?

What does this represent?Riddle frowned thoughtfully.

Fiona followed Riddle's gaze, and looked at the crown that was somewhat inconspicuous against the huge head, and then she seemed to hear his inner thoughts, and said: "The crown—la Winclaw's diadem?"

Riddle was not at all surprised that Fiona would know about Ravenclaw's crown. He felt that if Fiona's ferocious character had not occupied such a strong sense of presence that the Sorting Hat could not see other things, with her knowledge and intelligence, It is not impossible to be assigned to Ravenclaw.

He looked sideways at her and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"It's just speculation," Fiona said flatly. "What's the point of putting a human, Muggle crown on a basilisk's head? Unless Salazar Slytherin is such a flamboyant character."

After speaking, she saw a huge statue of Salazar that was as tall as the room, with a monkey-like face looking down on them condescendingly.

Fiona: "...I take back what I just said."

Riddle saw her pouted in disgust, and deducted a little favorability from him by the way.

Why didn't this ancestor help him and held him back?

With a slander, Riddle looked up at the stone head hidden in the darkness above, and hissed, "Talk to me, Slytherin—the greatest of the Hogwarts Big Four."

The stone statue of Salazar Slytherin opened its mouth, and his jaws expanded infinitely like a snake into a huge black hole, as if to devour everything.

Fiona thought for a while: "Could it be that Salazar became an Animagus, and his transformed animal is a snake? According to the book, wizards will have the habits and characteristics of the transformed animal of Animagus, I don't know if the statue is a metaphor for that."

Riddle was startled, he really hadn't thought about it in this direction, and couldn't help marveling at Fiona's sharp and quick thinking again.

"By the way, what did you just say to him?" she asked.

"..." Instinctively saying that boastful sentence might lose favor again, Riddle twisted the original meaning without changing his expression, "It means—talk to me, Slytherin, I ask for your generosity."

Fiona was noncommittal at the statement.

She blinked and tilted her head to look at Riddle, "Although Parseltongue is an innate language of Slytherin descendants, it is not impossible to master it through learning. If non-Slytherin descendants use Parseltongue, Can you also open this secret room?"

That's right.

Riddle was a little unhappy, nodded and smiled and said, "So, a second door is needed."
