Chapter 254 Another secret room

Many people will feel anxious, irritable, and uneasy in a narrow and cramped space. Some people may also suffer from claustrophobia, which may lead to physiological reactions such as shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, blushing and sweating. In severe cases, suffocation, dizziness, and a sense of impending death may occur.

Ada didn't like the oppressive pipes, and she wasn't claustrophobic. She was just a little over the top. She kicked the wall as if to vent her anger, and then resigned to her fate and started groping on the dirty pipe wall.

It was dark in the water pipe and there was no one else. No matter how strange the expression on Ada's face was, no one would know it and it would not leave a stain on her beauty. But the expression on her face as she held back her nausea and groped the wall of the tube really looked like the old man looking at his cell phone in the subway.

Fortunately, the road is boundless. After groping for a long time on the pipe wall, she finally found a concave notch. If you look carefully, you can see that they are two small snakes entangled with each other.

Ada touched the two small snakes with her hands, cleared her throat, and began to imitate the hissing sound Harry had made earlier. The first imitation was a bit different, the two little snakes showed no reaction.

But Ada was not discouraged. She kept adjusting her pronunciation, and finally after several times, she made the same sibilant sound as Harry.

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

Ada flicked the light from the tip of the wand into the hole. With the light of the fluorescent spell, she could see clearly what was inside the hole. 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, including a desk, a chair, a few rows of empty bookshelves, an empty box that was opened in the corner, and a motionless portrait of Slytherin hanging on the wall.

The room was covered with dust, but no cobwebs could be seen. It looked like it had not been used for a long time, or that no living person had entered it. When Ada cleaned the dust off the chair and sat on it, a vision suddenly appeared in the room.

In the vision, Ada saw the room as it originally looked. Burning candles illuminated the room. There were some utensils on the table that Ada had never seen before. Thick books were neatly arranged on the bookshelves. There were also many magic items in the boxes in the corner.

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

He was pacing the room, making hissing sounds. There was also a venomous snake with a bright light wrapped around his body, and the venomous snake also hissed in response to its master.

At this time, a "ding" sounded in Ada's mind, 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 mission reward "Try Lying to Me" has been distributed, and the special reward "Snake Whisperer" has been distributed]

Ada's head suddenly felt pain like needle pricks. When the pain disappeared, Ada found that she could understand the "hissing" sound coming from Slytherin's mouth.

"Do you think my future heir will find this real secret room?" Slytherin said softly.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely do it." The green viper said piously, "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 dazzled by your beautiful appearance, and I hope he won't be blinded by your powerful power." Slytherin continued, "Only when he gets here can he be regarded as my true heir. It is my true wealth.”

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

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

Let's just say that Slytherin, this old madman, is not really crazy. A basilisk just wants to clean up the world. I'm afraid he is just blind. Although the basilisk is powerful and ferocious, in front of many great wizards, it is just a poisonous little cutie that cannot make any waves.

"A peeper from the future, is that 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 viper made a hissing sound. It poked its head out from Slytherin's body and looked at where Ada was. It closed the The glasses suddenly opened, and the yellow pupils were filled with murderous intent!

The illusion disappeared and the room returned to silence. But Slytherin's words just now and the basilisk's pupils scared Ada and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ada stood up and walked towards the empty bookshelf. There is nothing on it, and it must have been emptied by someone. This person may be Voldemort, or he may be his ancestor. The treasure left by Slytherin has no connection with Ada.

In the last row of the bookshelf, there was a tattered diary. Ada took it in her hand and looked through it. T.M. Riddle was written on the yellowed page. On the back cover of the diary is the name of a newsagent from Vauxhall Road, London.

"Got you, Tom!" Ada muttered. After putting the diary away, Ada planned to leave. It was time to deal with Tom Riddle.

In the long, dark room, Professor Flitwick's gua sha treatment continued, leaving the black blood of the basilisk all over the floor.

The big snakes carved on the stone pillars suddenly came to life. Under Dumbledore's control, these big stone snakes swarmed towards the basilisk, replacing the water balls and pressing the giant monster to the ground.

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

The basilisk opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs that were as thin and long as sabers, and bit into the rocks on its body. But all this was in vain. In front of Dumbledore, even after living for a thousand years, this basilisk was still not enough.

What's more, Dumbledore was accompanied by Professor Flitwick. This short professor had been scraping continuously, and he had left all the bone-deep wounds on the basilisk's abdomen.

In the end, the basilisk fell straight to the ground, and the stone snakes also returned to the stone pillars. The basilisk that fell to the ground hissed sadly, and then became silent again.

The basilisk, which had lived for thousands of years, died of frustration and was consumed to death.

If Ada had been here, she would have heard the Basilisk's last words: "Great Salazar Slytherin, great master, I'm 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 had always been loyal to him. As a result, this basilisk that had lived for thousands of years had only one master from beginning to end, and that was Salazar Slytherin!

This kind of betrayal, even if the other party is loyal to his ancestors, is still intolerable to Tom Riddle!

"Okay Tom, now it's your turn." Dumbledore said, approaching Tom Riddle step by step.

"Killing a stupid basilisk, do you think you can defeat me?" Tom Riddle said, "I have gone further than anyone else on the road to immortality."

Tom Riddle clenched his fists. He was also unwilling to give up. 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 still too weak to leave school with Ginny Weasley. With no choice, Tom could only take Ginny and hide in the secret room for a last ditch effort!

As long as Dumbledore is held back from finding his diary, the outcome is still uncertain!

"Tom, confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence can turn into arrogance. Conceit is a recipe for disaster." Dumbledore said easily, "Didn't you realize that the girl you looked down on has returned here? ?”
