On May 29, Professor Sprout announced over breakfast that the mandrakes were finally ready to be harvested and that all petrified victims would be cured that evening.
Sherrin, who was sitting in the corner of the dining table, silently observed the long Gryffindor table, and noticed that Ginny was approaching Harry who was hesitant to speak. When he was about to muster up the courage to tell the truth, he was interrupted by Percy Weasley. , Ginny ran away in a hurry, and Xie Lin followed quietly without alerting anyone.
With the last tracking experience, Xie Lin skillfully cast the invisible phantom spell on himself, followed Ginny to the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor, and saw that Ginny still opened the diary after hesitating for a long time. A burst of smoke rose from the book and slowly transformed into a human form.
Although the appearance looked vague, Schelling was still sure that it was the remnant of the young Tom Riddle.
Ginny cried miserably and accused Tom of summoning the basilisk to hurt people, and tried to cast a completely ineffective spell on Tom's remnant soul. Then Tom sneered and forcibly attached himself to the struggling Ginny. When Tom was about to control Ginny to leave words on the stone wall outside according to the original plot, he suddenly felt an inexplicable alarm in his heart. He looked in the direction of Sherrin, raised his wand and shouted: "Who is there!"
Obviously Tom didn't see through Schelling's invisibility magic, but his keen intuition could still detect something amiss. The opponent was Voldemort in his youth, and Xie Lin did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest. Xie Lin took advantage of his invisibility and took the lead, using his silent spellcasting technique combined with the two-shot technique in an instant, and continuously issued a disarming curse and a repelling curse. The curses were shot at Tom rapidly, one after the other.
What a good Tom, he was able to control Ginny's body to avoid the disarming curse at such a close distance, and when he was trying to dodge the repelling curse, he was unexpectedly hit by the repelling curse in an abrupt turn. Tom could do that now. The fall was serious, and in desperation, he opened the entrance to the secret room in snake language, and hurriedly fled in, not even having time to close the entrance.
Xie Lin took out the Evening Star Cloak from his pocket and put it on, holding the wand in his hand, he also rushed into the entrance of the secret room.
Xie Lin followed the twists and turns of the water pipe, making seven or eight twists and turns. The slope was very steep all the way down. When he reached the exit of the water pipe, which was faintly bright, Xie Lin cast a shock-absorbing spell on himself, jumped up, and stood upright in the wet. on the ground.
In front of him was a dark stone tunnel, big enough for a man to stand in it, and Tom was nowhere to be found.
Xie Lin cast a fluorescent spell and pursued him along the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is a long, dimly lit room. There are many thick stone pillars, carved with various entangled snakes, towering to support the ceiling that melts into the darkness above, filled with mystery. The room cast long eerie shadows.
Schelling half-raised his wand and silently advanced slowly between the stone pillars where the giant snake was coiled.
When he reached his position between the last pair of stone pillars, a huge statue as tall as the room itself loomed before him, clinging to the dark wall behind. The slightly green stone gave it an eerie atmosphere.
He raised his neck to see the face of the statue clearly - it was an old, monkey-like face, with a sparse long beard that almost reached the hem of the stone wizard's robe, and two big feet that were stable. Standing firmly on the smooth floor of the room. Between the statue's feet lay face down the small figure of Ginny Weasley.
Tom's blurry remnant soul leaned against the nearest stone pillar, and his eyes met with the oncoming Xuelin, looking at each other warily, "I thought everything I did to control this silly girl was very secretive, no. Thinking that someone would have discovered you a long time ago, who are you? Did Dumbledore send you here?"
Xie Lin sneered, "I know who you are, Tom. Dumbledore is not the only one who can deal with you!"
Tom showed a curious expression, "Do you really know who I am?"
Xie Lin said contemptuously: "Aren't you the remnant soul left by Voldemort when he was young and killed people to create Horcruxes?"
What? Voldemort? kill? Horcrux?
Tom had read information about Schelling in Ginny's memory - he ranked first in academic performance, had published articles in major academic magazines, was regarded as the favorite student by two professors...it was nothing compared to him back then. Not inferior, but after all, he is only a second-year student. Tom never thought that his biggest secret would be seen through by the little wizard in front of him, showing an expression of disbelief and surprise. Sherlin did not talk nonsense to the enemy. Bad habit, all the words I just said were just for this moment when Tom was distracted!
Schelling knew that the magic spells he knew were ineffective against Tom who was in a state of remnant soul. At this moment, he summoned the diary into his hand with the summoning spell at lightning speed. At the same time, the sterling silver dagger hidden in the secret pocket of his sleeve slipped into the other side. In his hand, in that thousandth of a second, Xie Lin decisively injected magic power into the dagger, and pierced the diary in one go!
Tom let out a terrible, long-lasting, eardrum-piercing scream, twisted and struggled, waving his arms constantly, glaring with hatred at Schelling, letting out a final hissing serpentine, and then dissolved. As the smoke dissipates.
Sherrin did not relax his vigilance. Tom's last snippet of snake language was most likely a spell to summon the basilisk.
Sure enough, Slytherin's huge stone face moved, and its mouth opened wider and wider, eventually forming a huge black hole. The basilisk slowly slid out from the statue. It was green and glowed with the bright light unique to poisonous snakes. Its body was as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and its upper body stretched high into the air.
Since the first day of school, Xie Lin has been thinking about tactics and spells to deal with the basilisk. At this moment, although he was nervous, he was not very afraid. Just when the basilisk had just slipped out of the statue, Schelling had seized this fleeting opportunity and unleashed the glittering spell he had been preparing for so long!
The flash spell was inspired by the flash bombs in the Muggle world, and it took him a lot of effort to research it.
The basilisk was blinded by the strong light, and Xie Lin seized this opportunity to use the next combo in his tactics - the Eye Spell! Xie Lin quickly cast two spells in an instant. The shooting accuracy he had practiced since he was 4 years old did not disappoint him. Even though the basilisk kept swinging its huge body left and right, the two eye spells accurately hit the basilisk's eyes. Make the basilisk blind and successfully remove the basilisk's most threatening weapon.
The blind basilisk did not lose its target because of this. The basilisk's tongue has an extremely keen sense of smell, and there are two heat pits between its eyes and nostrils that can sense thermal infrared rays. It has lost the ability to kill people with its eyes and keeps running rampant. The tail swept left and right in a wide range, intending to use its huge physical advantage to crush Xie Lin, but how could Xie Lin, who knew all his plans, be unprepared for the situation that happened in front of him.
Schelling released another of his own original spells - the Sonic Boom Curse. Like the previous Flash Curse, this Sonic Boom Curse was also inspired by the sonic boom bombs in the Muggle world.
When he read the original work in his previous life, Schelling had long discovered that the attack methods of modern wizards were too simple and monotonous. During the fight, most wizards only competed with each other on the destructive power of spells and their own dodge rate, without any tactics. The use and strategic layout can be said. Only a few masters like Dumbledore and Voldemort will use various transformation spells to attack.
With his knowledge of the Muggle world, Schelling designed a series of tactical spells that imitated the combat methods of special forces.
He first used the fluorescent spell as the basis. By enhancing the instantaneous brightness, he improved the fluorescent spell used for lighting into a flashing spell that blinded the opponent. Then, based on the sound amplification spell, he improved the sound amplification spell used to amplify the sound into a sonic boom spell that produced a loud noise to stun the opponent by raising the volume and audio frequency to the limit.
Schelling believes that through the use of various tactics and combinations of magic spells and flexibly responding to various complex situations, real wizard combat is achieved. A wizard battle that only shoots magic spells and dodges magic spells is too childish.
As the sonic boom curse erupted with a high-frequency loud noise in mid-air, the basilisk was shocked into a dazed state that could not move. Schelling transformed the sterling silver dagger in his hand into a shining silver sword. He yelled "Flying Sword Wadi Wasi" angrily, and projected the flying sword in the posture of a javelin. Under the amplification of the "Wadi Wasi" spell, the flying sword drew an afterimage in mid-air as fast as a meteor, accurately He accurately shot the snake's brain from between the two snake eyes. The basilisk twisted in pain and rolled a few times on the ground beside it before becoming motionless.
After putting in so much effort to prepare and risking their lives to fight, it was finally time to reap the spoils.
Sherrin snapped his fingers and summoned Dobby, and then one man and one elf cut the basilisk's body into pieces. Snake skin, snake eyes, snake gallbladder, snake blood, snake venom, snake horns, and snake teeth are all precious materials. Needless to say, even the dozens of kilograms of snake meat Schelling did not miss. The raw materials are all stored in New York. In the special suitcase space, most of the raw materials can be stored directly in the laboratory, while a small number of raw materials that need to be refrigerated are stored in a specially opened snow cave.
(Note: The basilisk has horns. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" intentionally omitted this detail. The core of Slytherin's wand is the basilisk horn. Only those who can speak snake language can control that wand.)
(Note: The principle of the eye disease spell is to forcefully close the eyelids, so the snake eyes have not been damaged in any way)
[The basilisk corpse material is obtained! 】
Before leaving, Sherlin did not forget to pick up Tom Riddle's diary from the ground, soak it in snake venom for a while, and put it in a special container and take it away.
Sherrin asked Dobby to take him and Ginny to apparate out of the secret room and return to the bathroom on the third floor.
At this time, the entrance to the secret room has long been closed. From the outside, no problem can be seen at all. It seems that the entrance to the secret room will automatically close after a period of time after it is opened.
Xie Lin waved his hand, and with a bang, Dobby left the two of them and apparated away first.
Just when Xie Lin stepped out of the bathroom door with Ginny in his arms, he met Harry and Ron who happened to arrive. They looked at Xie Lin holding Ginny, and each pulled out their wands with expressions on their faces. Confronted Xie Lin quietly on guard.
Although the two of them did not know that there was a basilisk hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry still successfully deduced that the student who died because of the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago was Myrtle. The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was probably in this bathroom. At this moment, Xie Lin was holding Standing here with an unconscious Ginny...
Xie Lin looked at the expressions on the faces of the two people, and he didn't know what these two little brats were thinking. They must regard themselves as the heirs of Slytherin.
Facing Xie Lin who crushed him twice, Harry mustered up the courage and asked with difficulty: "What's going on? Why are you and Ginny here?"
Before Xie Lin could answer, Ron, who was anxious about Ginny's safety and irritable, suddenly realized that Xie Lin's hands were holding Ginny - he didn't have a wand in his hand!
Scenes of the humiliation Xuelin brought to Ron in the past two years flashed through his mind. He was so angry that he let out a roar and cast the slug vomiting curse on Xuelin! However, Ron seemed to have forgotten that there was something wrong with his wand. As a result, instead of completing the spell, Ron's wand suddenly exploded after making strange crackling sounds!
The explosion was not trivial, sending Ron flying against the bathroom wall and falling into a coma; Harry was also rolled to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, and was in a state of panic; Ginny was lucky enough to survive Sherrin's rapid use of armor. Under the protection of the curse, both Sherrin and Ginny were unscathed.
At this time, a soft moan sounded faintly - Ginny had woken up. She looked blankly to the left and right first, and then looked at Xie Lin, who had been holding her. Xie Lin gently put Ginny down without embarrassment, but Ginny seemed to have misunderstood that she was in the "miserable situation" in front of her. The culprit burst into tears in panic.
The sound of the explosion also attracted Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. The two professors said nothing. Professor Snape spontaneously took the unconscious Ron to the school hospital, while Professor McGonagall took them back to his home. 's office - not long after Schelling entered the secret room, Ginny's roommate informed the professors about Ginny's disappearance.
After the professors searched every corner of the castle to no avail, they had no choice but to inform the school board and Ginny's parents, and then Dumbledore returned. Professor McGonagall obviously thinks that since Dumbledore has returned, it is obviously more appropriate for him to handle it.
As they left, there was a dull roar and collapse sound in the secret room, and the entire ground shook slightly.
