Chapter 172 The real heir
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe bottom of the "slide" is a cylindrical space. The ground is covered with animal bones. To their left is a round shape that is as tall as a person. aisle. After a brief tidying up, the four of them walked into the passage. After a "winding" passage, the passage came to an end. At the end was a low space with rocks above it, as if it were in a cave.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Fluorescence"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce illuminated the surroundings with a fluorescent spell, and then the four of them saw clearly that they seemed to be under a big mountain.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "It seems that this place should be under the castle." Bruce guessed.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione suddenly pointed forward and said: "Look, what is there?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them looked and found a large piece of something similar to a "long latex tube" on the ground in front of them, but when they got closer and saw what it was There was a chill on everyone's back
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "What?" Lockhart's eyes widened with fear, and he said tremblingly: "This seems to be snake skin."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione walked in, touched it, and said, "It is indeed the skin shed by a snake."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Oh my god" Ron said in shock: "That means the basilisk is at least 60 feet long."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said seriously: "No, it should be longer. The book says that the snake will become bigger every time it sheds a layer of skin."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this moment, something Bruce and the others did not expect happened. Lockhart let out a fit, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Well" Ron looked at Lockhart who was unconscious on the ground speechlessly and said, "He is really brave."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThen Ron looked at the three of them and said: "If you want, let him lie here, anyway."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs he spoke, Lockhart suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Ron's waist with both hands. After getting a wand, he immediately stood up. He pointed his wand at the four of them and smiled smugly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Haha, Weasley, I'm not timid." Lockhart said sternly: "Okay, the children's adventure is over. "
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon immediately stepped back and said, "You have to think clearly, Lockhart."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Haha, I think very clearly. Mr. Weasley now asks you to stand together with your friends." Lockhart pointed his wand at Ron said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione looked at her former idol angrily, Lockhart smiled and said: "You don't have to look at me like that, Hermione. Don't worry, people You will know our deeds. I found the secret room, but I arrived too late and failed to save her. And the four of you were so frightened that you lost your memory after seeing her bloody body."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce sneered: "Are you afraid of losing your memory, or did you clear your memory?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Haha" Lockhart said with a smile: "You are really very smart, Sterling, you are really a genius, I know that from the first time I came to this school One day you started to doubt me. But I'm sorry, your fate will be the same as those before, you will lose your memory, and then"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Then our deeds will be written by you in the book. Of course, the protagonist is no longer us and those people, but becomes you, the great adventure Gilderoy Lockhart," Bruce said sarcastically.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart nodded and sneered: "Very accurate, Bruce."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Humph, don't forget, we still have wands in our hands," Bruce said coldly, raising the wand.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart laughed and said: "Haha, of course I know. But Bruce, do you think I am really just showing off? No, let me tell you my strongest magic. Just clear the memory, you have no chance of winning, let’s start with you, our little genius, let’s say goodbye to your memory forever.”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Everything is forgotten"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart waved his wand, and Bruce naturally refused to sit still and wait for death, but at this moment Ron suddenly held down his hand, and then
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Boom"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA blue light flashed, and Lockhart flew backwards and fell to the ground.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp""
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them looked at Lockhart who fell to the ground in shock.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "What is he doing?" Bruce said in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon smiled: "He can't do anything because he has lost his memory."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs he spoke, Ron shook the "sword-shaped wand" Bruce made for him in his hand.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIt turns out that the wand Lockhart grabbed just now in desperation was actually placed by Ron on his waist to prevent any accident and could only use the "counter-curse" 's old wand, which is why he stopped Bruce.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Haha" Harry touched Ron's head excitedly and said, "It's really yours. Ron, your idea is really great."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon smiled and said: "I didn't expect that he would get this old wand. This time it is a good fortune for us."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this moment, Lockhart, who had fallen to the ground, sat up and touched his head. He looked at the four people in surprise and asked, "Hi ,who are you"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp""
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What to do with him?" Hermione asked.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Let him stay here, and we will take him away after we rescue Ginny."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Agree"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce used a spell to make Lockhart fall asleep, and then the four of them moved on. When they came to the end of the "cave", a circular iron door appeared on the stone wall. There are six winding "pythons" on the iron door, with only half of the body exposed. The head is facing the "door frame" as if biting the iron door to prevent others from entering.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Harry, Parseltongue," Bruce said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry nodded and spoke in snake language to open the door again, and then he saw a "python" come out and start walking around the edge of the door. Every time he walked, When he reached a half-length python, the python shrank back.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAll six pythons retracted and the door opened.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThere is a short and shallow tunnel inside. Through the tunnel, they can vaguely see the "true appearance" of the secret room. When they walk through the tunnel, there is an escalator in front of them. , and below them is the real secret room.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA two-car-wide walkway extends from here to the huge human-faced statue. Both sides of the walkway are almost the same level of "water surface", which is neatly arranged on the water. Many snake heads stand in an orderly manner.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThey open their huge mouths, spit out snake cores and reveal their fangs. They are so lifelike that they seem to pounce on you in the next second.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "This is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets," Bruce said after recovering from the shock.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry nodded and said: "Let's go down."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them came up from the escalator. Bruce pulled out his wand and said, "Everyone be vigilant, the basilisk will appear at any time."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry, Hermione, and Ron immediately pulled out their wands, and the four of them walked forward vigilantly. At this time, Bruce, who was walking at the front, suddenly saw a person lying on the ground and said hurriedly: "Ginny"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon quickly turned around and looked, and sure enough, the little girl lying in front of the statue with a human face was none other than Ginny
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Ginny" Ron shouted and hurried over.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce and the others hurriedly followed. Ron immediately picked up Ginny but found that her body was unusually cold.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bruce, Harry, Hermione" Ron hurriedly asked for help from his friends and cried: "Look, Ginny's body is so cold, what's wrong with her?" "
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione quickly put her hand on Ginny's forehead and said: "There is no temperature at all."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Let me take a look." Bruce squatted down and put his hand under Ginny's nose. Finally he felt a touch of warmth and breathed a sigh of relief and said: " She probably hasn't died yet, but I don't know who Ginny is."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspSuddenly, Bruce noticed a sound of footsteps coming from behind, and immediately stood up and pointed the wand at the darkness.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA figure appeared in the darkness, and Harry and Hermione immediately stood in front of Ginny and raised their wands.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThen the figure slowly walked out of the darkness. He was a student at Hogwarts because he was wearing Slytherin's robes.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "He is a student" Hermione asked in surprise: "But why haven't I seen him?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA trace of surprise flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he said coldly: "He is indeed a student of Hogwarts, but it's normal for you to have never seen him before. Because he is a student of fifty years”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "What fifty years ago?" Hermione said in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Tom" Harry said immediately: "Tom Riddle, is that you?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe person coming was none other than Tom Riddle, who Harbruth and Harry saw in the "Diary" who captured Hagrid.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom nodded and said expressionlessly: "Yes, it's me."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Why do you appear here? Are we in an illusion?" Harry said in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"No" Tom sneered: "This is reality, and I am everywhere"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said in surprise: "Damn, what on earth is going on?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Understood" Bruce shook his head and said in annoyance: "We thought wrongly that Ginny is not the heir at all, right Tom."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom nodded with a sneer and said: "Of course she is not, she is just a poor little bastard that I took advantage of."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Damn" Ron stood up angrily and asked: "What did you do to my sister?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just dying."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Stop or I'll kill you" Ron pointed his wand at Tom and roared angrily.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom sneered: "Impossible, because the weaker she is, the stronger I am."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "You stole Ginny's life," Bruce said in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom smiled and said: "Yes, she got the notebook I left and communicated with me. I convinced her that she opened the secret room and was petrified. Those filthy Mudbloods and left threatening messages on the walls."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Why are you doing this?" Harry asked angrily: "Didn't you say that Hogwarts is your home?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom looked at Harry disdainfully and said, "I didn't expect you to believe it too. Potter, I am very good at persuading others."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said coldly: "But Ginny noticed your conspiracy and threw the notebook into the bathroom and we picked it up, right?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Yes," Tom said lightly: "The power of the diary frightened her. But who would have thought that because of this, I would get my wish to see the world. The person I most want to meet is Harry Potter. The Boy-Who-Lived"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry asked: "Why do you want to see me?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I have to talk to you, it would be better to meet." Tom sneered and explained: "So I decided to let you see me report The memory of that big idiot Hagrid, in exchange for your trust, everything originally went smoothly, but he"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom suddenly pointed at Bruce and said coldly: "He actually started to doubt me."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce sneered: "I think it's very normal for you to be suspected."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh" Tom said with a smile: "Why am I worthy of suspicion? Even Dumbledore didn't doubt me for the first time back then. What flaws did you see?" "To be continued.
