Chapter 54: The secret room in the castle

Ivan and Harry grabbed Ron tightly. They were like sitting in a roller coaster that ran through the underground pipes, rising, turning, turning, and quickly rushing down a dark, slimy Endless slides.
Because the pipe width was too narrow, Avon had to stick it tightly on the basilisk.
Even so, at the corner, he bumped into his pain and stared at Venus.
He never knew that the Hogwarts pipeline design was like this. It was like a complicated labyrinth. They didn't always go down to the chamber.
In a clearly old pipeline, they went straight up, and Avon calculated the height estimate to come to the Ravenclaw Tower, the highest place in the school.
At the highest point of the pipeline, the snake monster took them to a strange oval room, where there were light blue credits everywhere, and the room was full of books. From the thick dust accumulated above, you can know that there has been no one for a long time. Have been here.
Ron's face, controlled by Tom Riddle, showed a rather surprised expression. He didn't know the place before. It was another secret room hidden in the school.
"Damn!" Tom Riddle said a few words in his voice.
He wants the basilisk to stop, but it is clear that the cock's cry makes it scary. The basilisk does not listen to Tom Riddle's control. It panics and escapes with his fastest speed.
The blue credit room disappeared instantly, and as they passed the central table, Avon reached out and grabbed something. It was a round object with a long chain.
He held the thing tightly in his hand, and had not had time to look down. The snakes hurriedly took them down. After a minute, with a loud bang, the basilisk directly smashed the pipe and they cried from the third floor. The Myrtle rushed out of the bathroom.
It rushed over with the faucet that carved the snake into the center, and Ron’s mouth screamed.
Suddenly, the faucet made a dazzling white light and began to spin quickly.
The pool slowly disappeared from sight, and Avon had just had time to see a very large water pipe, and the basilisk drilled in.
This water pipe is much thicker than the pipes just now. It seems to be specially prepared for the basilisk. Ivan can see that there are still many pipes that are opened in all directions, but none of them are so thick.
The pipe is twisted and twisted, seven winding around eight, and the is steep all the way down.
Ai Wen knows that they have slipped into the deep underground of the school, even deeper than those underground classrooms. Just as he gradually adapted to this rapid glide, they finally fell to the wet ground.
The water pipes became level. They came out of the nozzle and fell heavily on the ground. A strong collision caused Ai Wen and Harry to release their hands at the same time. The snakes slid with Ron to the distance, soon. It disappeared.
This is a dark stone tunnel that is too big to stand inside.
"Where is this?" Harry stood up as he licked his ass.
"We were taken to a few miles below the school."
Evan’s voice echoed in the dark tunnel.
If I didn’t guess wrong, it’s probably under the lake.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the black, sticky walls around him.
Then he remembered what he had just caught at the top of the castle, the room full of blue credits.
"Fluorescent flashing!" His wand made a faint glow.
By faint light, Ai Wen saw the round objects in his hand as if it were a pocket watch, but there was no scale on it, only a strange pointer.
"What is this?" Harry also came over.
"I don't know, it was a magic item that I accidentally caught in the room where the snake monster passed." Aiwen hesitated whether to use the pointer.
"Ai Wen, this stuff is still waiting to go back and study. Let's go, we must hurry and Ron is taken away by him." Harry said eagerly.
"Yeah, that's right!" Ai Wen stuffed this strange item into his pocket. They really had to hurry. Tom Riddle was taking Ron's vitality. The longer it was, the worse it was for them.
Along the tunnel, two people quickly walked forward and slammed on the damp ground, making a loud noise.
The surroundings are too dark, they can only see a small place in front of them.
The two men's wands glowed faintly, reflecting their shadows on the wet walls, looking like monsters.
"Harry, Tom Riddle uses Ron's broken wand, and like the magic of the rod, this requires extremely powerful control. In a short time, he can't make a powerful spell." Ai Wen walked quickly. Ramp, "I will attract the attention of the basilisk for a while, you go to the diary."
"Diary?!" Harry snorted.
"It's the black-skinned diary we found at Christmas, that's the source of Tom Riddle's power." Avon whispered, "Remember, find it and find a way to destroy it. Riddle doesn't know we know it." This is our only chance."
"I remember!" Harry nodded and suddenly grabbed Avon's shoulder. "Look, there's something there, isn't it..."
Ai Wen stretched out his wand. Through the faint fluorescence, he saw the outline of a behemoth, lying on the other side of the tunnel, motionless.
"This is the skin of a snake monster. Maybe someone wants to collect this stuff."
In front of two people, a huge snake skin, green and colorful, very bright, coiled on the ground lying on the tunnel, the inside is empty, full of twenty feet long. Obviously, it was the snake monster that had just collapsed.
They walked forward again, carefully turned another corner, and finally found a solid wall in front of them, engraved with two intertwined snakes, with large, shiny eyes in their eyes. Bright emerald.
"Harry, talk to them, use the snake to squat," Evan whispered.
Harry stepped closer and he felt his throat dry.
He tried to make these two stone snakes imaginary, but they didn't need to, their eyes looked exactly the same.
"Open!" Ha said with a low, dumb snoring.
The two snakes separated, and the stone wall split from the middle and slowly slipped to the sides and disappeared.
Evan hurried in and there was a long, dimly lit room in front of them. Many of the pillars engraved with the entangled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that melted in the darkness of the sky, cast a long shadow of the entire room filled with green and mysterious.
"It's Slytherin's secret room!" Ai Wen whispered.
The dead silence in the secret room, two people holding their wands, slowly moving forward between the stone pillars coiled by the serpent.
Every time they take a careful step, they create a hollow, loud echo between the walls of the ghost building.
When they walked parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, there was a statue of the same height as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall behind it. Ai Wen looked up and saw the huge face above: it was an old-fashioned, monkey-like face, a thin, long beard, almost dragged to the hem of the wizard's robe carved into the stone, two gray The big feet stand on the smooth floor of the room.
Between the two feet, Ron is like a dead man, lying face down.
