The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 254 Another Secret Room

Many people feel anxious, irritable, and restless in a narrow, cramped space.Some people also suffer from claustrophobia, and then have physiological reactions such as shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, blushing and sweating, and in severe cases, suffocation, dizziness, and a sense of near-death, etc.
Ada doesn't like the oppressive plumbing, and she's not claustrophobic, she's just a little over the top.She kicked the wall as if venting, and then resignedly began to grope on the dirty pipe wall.

It was pitch black in the water pipe, and there was no one else. No matter how strange the expression on Ida's face was, no one would know it, and it would not leave a stain on her beauty.But she suppressed her disgust and groped the wall of the tube, she really looked like the old man looking at his mobile phone in the subway.

Fortunately, there is no limit to the road, after a long time groping on the pipe wall, she finally found a sunken notch.If you distinguish carefully, you can know that these are two small snakes entangled with each other.

Ada ran her hands over the two little snakes, cleared her throat, and began to imitate the hiss that Harry had made earlier.The first imitation was a bit different, the two little snakes didn't respond.

But Ada was not discouraged, she kept adjusting her pronunciation, and finally, after a few times, she sizzled exactly like Harry.

A light suddenly lit up in the dark water pipe, and the two entangled snakes suddenly separated and walked on the pipe wall.After a while, a hole appeared in the wall of the pipe, which could accommodate a person in and out.

Ada threw the light from the tip of the wand into the hole, and with the light of the fluorescent spell, she could see the situation inside the hole clearly, and there was only one empty room inside.

After confirming the safety, Ada got into the hole and came to this secret room.The furnishings in the room are very simple, a desk, a chair, a few rows of empty bookshelves, an empty box that has been opened in the corner, and a portrait of Slytherin that does not move on the wall.

The room was dusty with no cobwebs in sight, and it looked like it hadn't been used in a long time, or that no one had lived there.When Ada cleaned off the dust on the chair and sat on the chair, a hallucination suddenly appeared in the room.

In the vision, Ada saw the original appearance of the room.The burning candles illuminated the room. On the table were some utensils that Ada had never seen before, thick books were neatly arranged on the bookshelves, and there were many magic items in the boxes in the corner.

Across the long river of time, the figure of Salazar Slytherin also appeared in the room after a thousand years.

He was pacing the room, hissing.There was still this radiant poisonous snake wrapped around his body, and the poisonous snake also responded to its master with a hissing sound.

At this moment, a "ding" sounded in Ada's mind, and the task was completed.

【mission completed!The host has found clues to the chamber of secrets, and has broken through the illusion to find Salazar Slytherin's real chamber of secrets.The task reward "Try to lie to me" has been issued, and the special reward "Snake Whisperer" has been issued]

Ada's head suddenly felt like a needle prick, and when the pain disappeared, Ada found that she could already understand the "hissing" sound from Slytherin's mouth.

"Do you think my future heir will find the real Chamber of Secrets?" Slytherin said softly.

"Yes, master, definitely will." The green poisonous snake said reverently, "Your heir will be as great as you, I will guard your secret room and wait for your heir to appear!"

"I hope he won't be fascinated by your beautiful appearance, and I hope he won't be blinded by your powerful power." Slytherin continued, "Only here can he be regarded as my true heir. It's my real treasure."

Slytherin stretched out his hand and gently stroked the books on the bookshelf. He murmured: "I am here, leaving him enough knowledge and the meaning of life."

Ada sat on the chair, looked at Slytherin's back, and thought to herself: It turns out that Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets and left the basilisk behind, not just to eliminate Muggle-born wizards.At the same time, he is also the guardian of his own treasure, a test for the heir.

Just to put it bluntly, the old lunatic Slytherin isn't really crazy. A basilisk wants to clean up the world, so I'm afraid he's delusional.Although the basilisk is powerful and ferocious, in front of many great wizards, it is just a poisonous little cutie, unable to cause any trouble.

"A voyeur from the future, interesting." Slytherin suddenly said in human language, "Your world must have been ruled by my heir, right?"

"Master, what are you talking about? Why can't I see anything!" The green poisonous snake hissed. It poked its head out of Slytherin and looked at Ada's position. The glasses opened suddenly, and the yellow pupils were full of murderous intent!
The illusion disappeared, and the room returned to silence.But Slytherin's words just now, as well as the basilisk's pupils, all startled Ada, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Ada stood up and walked to the empty bookshelves.There is nothing on it, and it must have been emptied by someone. This person may be Voldemort, or his ancestor. The treasure left by Slytherin has nothing to do with Ida.

On the last row of the bookshelf, there was a tattered diary.Ada took it in her hand and flipped through it. On the yellowed page was TM Riddle.On the back cover of the diary is printed the name of a newsagent in Vauxhall Road, London.

"Found you, Tom!" Ada murmured.After putting away the diary, Ada planned to leave, and it was time to get rid of Tom Riddle.

In the long, dimly lit room, Professor Flitwick's scraping continued, and the black blood of the basilisk was all over the floor.

The big snake carved on the stone pillar suddenly came alive. Under Dumbledore's control, these big snakes made of stone rushed towards the basilisk, replacing the water polo to press the giant monster to the ground.

The green basilisk struggled unwillingly, the scales on its body were rubbed off by itself, and as the body rolled, more and more black blood flowed.

The basilisk opened its mouth wide, exposing its thin and long saber-like fangs, biting the stone on its body.It's just that all this is in vain. In front of Dumbledore, even after living for a thousand years, this basilisk is still not enough to look at.

What's more, Dumbledore is surrounded by Professor Flitwick, a short professor who has been scraping continuously, and the deep bone wounds on the basilisk's abdomen were all left by him.

In the end, the basilisk fell straight to the ground, and the stone serpents returned to the stone pillar one after another.The basilisk that fell to the ground hissed desolately, and then remained silent.

The basilisk, which had lived for a thousand years, just died so aggrieved, wasted to death.

If Ada was here, she would have heard the last words of the basilisk: "Great Salazar Slytherin, great master, sorry for not being able to protect your descendants..."

Tom Riddle's expression changed drastically, Dumbledore couldn't understand, but he could understand the Basilisk's last words.

He always thought that he was the master of the basilisk, and the basilisk was always loyal to him. As a result, the basilisk, which has lived for thousands of years, has only one master from beginning to end, and that is Salazar Slytherin!

This kind of betrayal, even if the other party is loyal to his ancestors, is still something Tom Riddle cannot tolerate!
"Okay Tom, now it's your turn." Dumbledore said, and he approached Tom Riddle step by step.

"Kill a foolish basilisk and you think you can beat me?" said Tom Riddle. "I've gone farther than anyone on the road to immortality."

Tom Riddle clenched his fist, he was also very unwilling, as long as he was given less than a month, he could be resurrected!But when Ginny opened the diary again, he found that he had no time. The changes in the school proved that Dumbledore had found the secret room.

He was too weak to take Ginny Weasley out of school.Helpless, Tom can only take Ginny to hide in the secret room and make a last-ditch effort!
As long as Dumbledore is held back and he is not allowed to find his diary, the outcome is still uncertain!
"Tom, self-confidence is a good thing, but too much self-confidence can turn into conceit. Conceit is a seedling for disaster." Dumbledore said lightly, "Didn't you find that the girl you despised has come back here yet?" ?”
