Chapter 74 Chapter 74
"Harry, from what you told me, everything can be inferred. You don't need to track spiders anymore."

Harry and Ron looked at Nina in surprise. They had never felt that they were so stupid. "What is that? Who is the heir?"

Nina said, "I don't know who the successor is, but I can be sure that the monster that attacked people is a basilisk. Maybe you are not familiar with this creature. It has been extinct for a long time, because it is too evil and too tasteless. "

Harry looked at Nina seriously, waiting for her next answer.

"First of all, you learned from that diary that Hagrid was thought to be the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago, but obviously, he was just a scapegoat, because if he really was the murderer, Dumbledore wouldn't let him in Huo Gewarz was a gamekeeper.

So we can deduce that the spider raised by Hagrid was not a monster in the Chamber of Secrets, so you don't have to track down the spider anymore.

As for why I say that the basilisk is a secret room monster, it is because I know the basilisk, looking directly into the eyes of the basilisk will directly cause death, while seeing the eyes of the basilisk indirectly will only cause petrification, so Myrtle died 50 years ago . "

Harry immediately recalled, "Yes, Colin is holding the camera in his hand, he saw it from the camera, and Justin saw it through Nick's body, Nick is already dead, so naturally he won't die again, Hermione held the camera. Holding the mirror, Draco and Hermione are together, what about Mrs. Norris?"

Harry thought about it carefully, "I remembered that there was a pool of water on the ground that day, and Mrs. Norris saw it through the reflection of the water."

Harry was overwhelmed with excitement. He finally knew the truth. It turned out that the strange sound he had been hearing was the voice of the basilisk.

But it was useless for him to know that the monster was a basilisk. He didn't know how the basilisk attacked people. How could a big boa constrictor wander around the school without being discovered?

After getting the answer from Nina, he became even more anxious. He didn't know when the basilisk's next attack would be, but he couldn't tell the teacher, because it was too absurd, and he was eager to unravel the secret.

That day they were going to ask Moaning Myrtle for more news, but they met Professor McGonagall on the way. Harry lied that they were going to the infirmary to visit Hermione, so they had to go to the infirmary instead.

Harry sat next to Hermione's hospital bed and found the note written in her hand. It took a lot of effort to dig it out. After digging it out, he realized that it was a piece of paper torn from a book. It is about the basilisk, which further confirms Nina’s statement.

When he saw Hermione saw a word 'pipe' in the corner of the paper, he seemed to have been opened up to Ren Du's second channel. He already knew how the basilisk wandered around the school, and it was to use Sewers, because he heard voices in the walls.

After getting the answer, Harry ran to the staff room, but the get out of class bell didn't ring. Instead, they heard the hurried footsteps of Professor McGonagall and others. They wanted to know if someone had been attacked again, so they hid in the closet.

Then they heard the shocking news.

"Another student was killed, and this time the heir left a note: her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever." Professor McGonagall's voice sounded disturbing.

Professor Sprout asked in disbelief, "Which student is it?"

Professor McGonagall replied "Ginny Weasley"

Ron couldn't believe it when he heard the name, and slid down against the wall, and Harry couldn't believe it, the girl who had just told them the secret at the dinner table was taken away.

Professor Lockhart walked in and didn't know what happened, he was still talking big, the other teachers looked at him in disgust, Snape maliciously asked him to catch the monster in the secret room, but the other teachers didn't Nothing prevents.

After the teachers left, Harry realized that he was going to chase out and tell Professor Lockhart that the monster was a basilisk.

They ran into Nina during their chase, and Harry told her that Ginny had been taken, and they learned how the basilisk had been swimming around the school without being seen.

When Nina learned that they were going to tell Lockhart this in order to help him, she curled her lips and said, "With all due respect, Lockhart will not take this risk. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look." After that, she was about to leave. .

But Harry didn't believe in this evil, so he decided to take Nina to go. There was no way Nina could only follow. She blamed her bad luck in her heart. She just came out of the club and was about to go back to the dormitory, but she ran into Harry and the others unexpectedly. two.

Sure enough, when Harry entered, he found Lockhart packing his things as if he was about to run away. He probably was about to run away, and he didn't care about his heroic image anymore. He told them frankly that his books were all lies.

Frustrated, Harry and Ron forced Lockhart to go with them to rescue Ginny, and Harry also begged Nina for help, but there was no way, Nina had to go with her, who made her suffer so much this year? She was so showy, and Harry trusted her so much.

Nina followed Harry to Myrtle's bathroom. Ron pointed his wand at Lockhart who had been disarmed by Harry. Although Lockhart pleaded with Nina, Nina ignored him. It's here, how can you let him go, he will be fine.

Harry carefully asked Myrtle what happened when she died. Following her guidance, Harry found a snake-shaped mark carved on the sink. He was sure that this was the entrance to the secret room, but he didn't know how to open it.

Nina said "Use Parseltongue, maybe that's the way to go."

Harry, who only spoke in Parseltongue when confronted with snakes, tried to imagine the cameo as a real snake.

A goosebump hiss came from his mouth.

Nina saw the sink move and sink after Harry spoke in Parseltongue, revealing a very thick pipe.

Harry forced Lockhart to go down first to explore the way, Ron second, Harry third, and Nina last. When preparing to go down, Nina told Myrtle, "Please find Professor McGonagall or Snake." Professor Pu, tell them we are here and have found the secret room."

Myrtle nodded and floated away, and the entrance to the secret room closed again after Nina went down.

Nina endured the dirty pipe and slid down, but felt a little dangerous when she was about to reach the bottom, and rolled to the side when she landed, dodging Lockhart's attack.

Nina hit Lockhart with a backhand "stunning", knocking Harry and Ron out of his grasp.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Nina, you reacted quickly, otherwise the three of us would be finished."

Ron next to him had a mournful face. His wand was broken when it hit the ground, so it fell into Lockhart's hands.

Nina cursed in her heart: Your wand should have been broken long ago.
