Chapter 336 Under the Water Pipe

Harry reluctantly listened for a long time, but still didn't understand anything. He could only focus on the faucet.

There is no difference between this faucet and other faucets. They are all brass except for the little snake mark.

Harry reached out his hand and twisted it.

There was no response from the faucet. It should be said that he couldn't turn the faucet at all.

"This faucet is dead." Myrtle said, "That's why I say it may be a mechanism."

"Then how to open it?" Harry looked at her doubtfully, which made Myrtle purse her lips shyly, "I don't know that, but if it was Salazar, maybe he would use Parseltongue Qiang?"

Harry was stunned, looked at the faucet again, and said in surprise, "Yes, it is indeed possible! Myrtle, you are really a genius!"

Hearing his compliment, Myrtle was extremely happy, "Really...really?!"

Harry nodded wildly, and then he felt a little worried. His Parseltongue seemed to be working at times!

"Can you do me a favor?" Harry asked cautiously, "Just a small favor..."

Myrtle pointed at herself in confusion, then nodded ecstatically.

"Rumble..." The two people who were chatting were attracted by the sound. They stopped talking and turned around to look. They saw that the pool first moved upward, then moved horizontally for some distance, and then slowly dropped down. .

The ground began to shake.

When everything calmed down, a passage was revealed on the ground under the pool that could allow one person to pass through.

"Open it!" Harry exclaimed, "You really need Parseltongue!"

Robert squatted beside the passage and reached out to touch it. It felt like metal. "It's a water pipe. It seems that there is indeed something down here."

As he said that, he looked at Hermione, "Want to come together?"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, "At this point, do you think I will give up?"

Robert scratched his head and felt helpless, "Okay, I'll go down first, you can do whatever you want." After saying that, he jumped down.

Probably because it is a water pipe, the environment in the passage is not very good.

Sliding in the long, dark, slimy, smelly passage was not a pleasant experience, and Robert felt an uncontrollable feeling of weightlessness.

Fortunately, the light from the wand quickly dispelled the darkness.

I don’t know how many forks I passed. Although this thick pipe was twisting and turning, the general direction was always downward.

Hermione's exclamation and the sound of her clothes rubbing against the inner wall of the water pipe came from behind. She must have followed him and jumped down together.

He didn't know how much time passed, but the angle of the water pipe tilted, and he saw a faint fluorescence, and then with a "pop" sound, the water pipe disappeared. Due to inertia, he flew forward for a distance, and saw that the ground was getting closer and closer. Robert He quickly protected his head, curled up his body, and fell to the ground like a gourd.

When the forward rolling stopped, Robert got up from the ground and rubbed his head. He felt a little dizzy, probably due to lack of oxygen and the hard fall, which made him feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

After looking at the outlet of the water pipe in the distance and then at the ground full of rocks, Robert took out his wand.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". With a long series of screams, Hermione rushed out of the water pipe, because she had never experienced such a thing-except when she was working on a pirate ship, Hermione was very strong. Really fell out.

"Hey, the ground is so soft." After falling to the ground, Hermione touched the ground under her feet in confusion.

Robert quickly pulled the person away, "Hey, don't sit here. Harry and the others will be coming down soon, right?"

Just as he was talking, a frightened scream sounded out, and Harry appeared in front of the two of them while crawling, falling onto his face and chewing the mud.

It seemed a bit miserable, but fortunately he was not injured.

"I don't know where we are. It feels like we have descended at least several miles. I think it must be under the bottom of the lake, right?" Hermione poked her arm, "It's really cold here."

The place they were in was a large stone passage. The surrounding walls were covered with moss, and there was a faint smell of moisture mixed with a bit of fishy smell.

"Where's Professor Binns?" He looked at the water pipe behind him. After a while, a ghost floated over. His movements were much more elegant than the three of them. It was Professor Binns.

"Oh, is there such a big space under Hogwarts Castle?" Professor Binns was shocked. "I have never heard Salazar mention this!"

"Okay, we are all here." Robert clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "Remember, our goal is to find Colin, but we are likely to encounter a basilisk, and with a basilisk Its eyes are very dangerous given its characteristics, so never look into the eyes of a basilisk."

Several people walked in the dark and silent tunnel. The light of the wand dispelled the darkness, but it could not dispel the depressing atmosphere.

Because they were worried about the basilisk that might appear at any time, everyone deliberately lowered their voices, whether they were talking or footsteps.

"Click!" "Ouch!" Two strange voices sounded. Hermione and Robert turned their heads and saw that Harry had stepped on a pale skull.

It looks like the skull of a rodent, that is...a mouse.

Hermione lowered her wand, and the magical light swept across the ground, with bones from other parts scattered around.

Harry stared at the pale bones on the ground in shock, "This...god, the basilisk is so cruel! It actually killed so many creatures!"

He simply couldn't imagine what Colin would look like when they found him.

Hermione, Robert and the professor looked at him with strange expressions, "Is it normal for snakes to eat mice? What does this have to do with ferocity?"

Harry opened his mouth and retorted, "But aren't you afraid that it will eat Colin?"

Robert and Hermione looked at each other and became even more confused, "Don't you know that the school kitchen is actually responsible for this basilisk's three meals a day?"

"...Huh?" Harry looked confused.

"President Dumbledore has confirmed this. After all, such a big snake needs food even if it sleeps all the time." Robert explained, "In fact, we were able to find this secret room through the kitchen. You know, there is Two large trash cans..."

Harry was even more confused, "What do you mean? So, the last time we stood at the trash can in the kitchen was not because there was a lot of space, but because it was an entrance to the secret room?"

Seeing the two people nodding, Harry just felt that this was a little too wonderful.

What kind of person is Salazar? A promoter of dark magic, defender of pure blood, founder of Hogwarts...

There are so many big shots with impressive-sounding titles, but it turns out that the entrance to the secret room he set up is either a women's toilet or a trash can...

It almost feels like the character has collapsed.
