Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 113 Quick Harvest and Collection
This time the events are different from the original. In the original, when Harry discovered the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, Ginny had been controlled by the diary and entered the sewer. He couldn't wait slowly for other professors to come, so he had to break in with Ron.

Well, by the way, I also took the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Lockhart hostage, so I was accompanied by an adult...

Theoretically speaking, Hogwarts is well prepared to encircle and suppress the basilisk this time, and the more people the better.

But considering the basilisk's eyes that could kill anyone who looked directly at them, Dumbledore still felt that the staff should be streamlined, and only a few of the more powerful professors were allowed to stay.

Although Du Mu felt that he and Tom alone would be enough, since the boss of Hogwarts had spoken, Du Mu did not object.

Anyway, he could condense a magic barrier in front of him to refract the light, and accurately control all of them so that they couldn't see the basilisk's eyes.

Without its eyes, which could cast instant-death spells, the basilisk was little more than a large python with venomous fangs.

Well, thinking about it, Du Mu suddenly felt that this basilisk was really unusual. Not to mention the eyes, it was extremely powerful ancient black magic, much more efficient than Avada Kedavra. The fangs were also very lethal, even effective against Horcruxes. I'm afraid it wasn't just an ordinary protein toxin, it should also have a certain amount of black magic.

Perhaps they could be collected and used against enemies with weak toxins in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Mu was a little reluctant to let other professors interfere.

All the professors were at the door of the women's bathroom on the third floor. Since Myrtle liked to scare people, basically no students came here, so there was no need to ask the female professors to go in and clear the place.

Du Mu looked at Dumbledore and said, "Let Tom and I go in. It would be bad if others saw the basilisk's eyes."

The professors around, except for Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall, looked at each other, feeling a little worried.

Professors are not necessarily powerful, and powerful wizards are not necessarily good at teaching.

The magic in this world is not developed much for combat purposes. Instead, magic related to daily life accounts for the majority. Only a small number of talented people are good at magic duels, which also requires special training.

What's more, there is one aspect where magic is indeed inferior to Muggle technology... and that is versatility.

Generally speaking, since magic requires clear goals and strong emotions, in order to minimize the consumption of magic power, the function and direction of each magic must be extremely streamlined.

Therefore, when facing a type of enemy that rarely appears, only a small number of wizards have the spells to fight against the corresponding type of enemy.

As for Muggle technology, although modern weapons are all used to kill each other, if they really encounter large monsters, the killing effect will not be weakened in the slightest.

However, most of the professors, including Snape, stared at Tom.

When Tom appeared, no one noticed anything unusual at first. After all, he was walking next to Dumbledore and was young, so some people thought he was a senior student.

But from hearing the name, and then saying that the other party could open the door of the Chamber of Secrets, several professors just woke up from their dreams. They looked at Tom in shock, then looked at Dumbledore, and were speechless for a long time. The atmosphere fell into an extremely weird state.

Some of them had never seen Tom in person, and some had only seen Voldemort, whose appearance had been completely changed due to the repeated use of Horcruxes. These professors made their guesses based on fragmentary information.

But there are some who really taught Tom, such as the current professor of Care of Magical Creatures. She is so old that she is about to retire, and she has experienced the whole process from Tom's enrollment to his transformation into Voldemort.

The reason why he didn't recognize the other person at first was naturally because of the change in Tom's temperament.

When he was in school, Tom looked deliberately elegant and graceful, just like a Muggle nobleman with a proud and humble attitude. But anyone who looked into his eyes could see the burning ambition in them.

Tom now looked a little lazy and decadent. But he was not sloppy, but relaxed like a fluffy sponge. His nonchalant attitude towards his identity being exposed did make some professors who were not confident doubt their guesses.

Only Snape stared at Tom, with no doubt in his mind that this man was the 'master' for whom he had sacrificed his flesh to resurrect.

But why...is he still alive?

Given Professor Du Mu's decisiveness, he should have killed the other person directly after taking advantage of him.

Snape secretly clenched the wand in his hand, and suddenly remembered that he still had to rely on Tom to open the door of the Chamber of Secrets.

So that's how it was, was it to solve the hidden danger of the basilisk? Professor Du Mu really had a plan in mind.

This Voldemort doesn't have a wand in his hand. It must be Professor Du Mu who has restrained him. That will make it easy to deal with him.

Wait until Voldemort opens the Chamber of Secrets, then kill him... Use the Killing Curse? No, that would put him in Azkaban. Although his crime was enough to get him in, he would have to wait until Harry graduated.

Then wait for the Basilisk to appear, and then directly confine Voldemort to the spot with the hanging bell. As the first line of defense, it would be best if he could make eye contact with the Basilisk, so as not to dirty his hands.

Therefore, after Du Mu proposed to go down with Tom alone, Snape objected in his usual low voice: "No, this man is not trustworthy. What if he controls the basilisk and turns against Professor Du Mu? Just in case, I want to go down too."

Tom looked at Snape strangely, but didn't care.

He just felt that the man's temperament was very familiar and he must be a Slytherin. Since he was a Slytherin, it was reasonable for him to be wary of any stranger, so he did not hear the murderous intent hidden in Snape's cold tone.

Hearing this, Lupin frowned and looked at Snape and Tom with suspicion.

When he heard that Tom could use Snake's Voice to open the Chamber of Secrets, he felt something was wrong. At this time, Snape took the initiative again, which was unusual for him, which was totally unlike his usual style.

Only the heir of Slytherin can sing Snake Tune, which means that Tom is at least a Slytherin by blood. Add Snape to the mix, and don't they mean two Slytherin students running to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?
This is too dangerous!

Could it be that... Snape, the Death Eater, is still determined to be evil and wants to be loyal to the new Slytherin heir?

It turns out that this snotty guy is not a good guy. After so many years, he still acts like a slave!

If it were any other time, it would be fine, but there is a dangerous basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. If these two Slytherins attack Professor Du Mu, no matter how strong Professor Du Mu is, his life will be in danger!
As the person who adopted Harry, Lupin would not allow Harry to lose another relative.

So he took a step forward, looked at Snape warily and said, "I'll go too. I happen to know some protective magic that can prevent us from seeing the eyes of the basilisk."

Seeing that the team was expanding again, Du Mu felt a little headache. The probability of secretly touching the fangs and snake eyes would become smaller.

Harry saw that those who were going down were almost all people he cared about... whether it was positive concern or negative concern.

He was about to take a step forward to say that he wanted to follow, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

With so many adults around, a little kid would not have any room to perform no matter how reliable he usually behaves.

Dumbledore looked at the four people, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Well, since the three professors have taken the initiative, then you can go together. After all, the more people the merrier when dealing with a basilisk."

This means the quota has been confirmed. Some professors frowned in disappointment, while others breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the four people, led by Du Mu, entered the women's bathroom.

Fortunately, all the students were driven away, and Harry was the only student around. Otherwise, the three professors might have to endure the strange looks from the students every day.

At this time, a ghost just floated out from the bathroom cubicle in a daze. After seeing the four people, it screamed and plopped into the toilet, splashing a lot of water.

Du Mu looked at Myrtle who was running away screaming, then looked at Tom and said, "Look at you. You killed someone in the first place, and now you're scaring them so much."

Tom was speechless. Myrtle didn't even know that I was the murderer, okay?
The first thing she saw just now was clearly you...

But it’s really strange, why would the ghost be afraid of Professor Du Mu?
When Lupin heard what Du Mu said, he looked puzzled, then stared at Tom's back, and secretly paid attention to Snape.

In his opinion, the team is currently two against two, but once the basilisk appears, it will be hard to say.

So he had to concentrate fully and not be ambushed before dealing with the basilisk.

Tom didn't pay attention to the attention of others. He faced the cylindrical sink in the middle of the girls' bathroom and made a lazy snake hissing sound.

“Hiss~ha~…”

Du Mu listened to Tom's snake language, but he couldn't understand the pattern.

Just those few syllables actually correspond to different meanings?

Rather than saying that snakes have language, it is better to say that this is a kind of spiritual magic to communicate with snakes. Then, I saw the columnar washbasin in the bathroom slowly separate and rise in an extremely unreasonable way, revealing a deep tunnel.

The professors outside the door gasped in surprise when they saw this scene.

Slyderin's Chamber of Secrets is one of the rumors that has been circulating in Hogwarts for a long time. However, after several large-scale inspections, the chamber of secrets was not found, so it was just regarded as a rumor and nothing happened.

It now seems that none of the wizards who conducted the investigation in the past was Snake Lao Qiang, no wonder he has not been discovered.

Although they already knew that they had to use snake language to open the door of the secret room, they still didn't expect that the door of the secret room would actually be built in the women's restroom.

Slytherin's reputation among the professors inexplicably dropped a little.

Only a few people who are familiar with the school's history know that the toilets were built later.

Du Mu jumped down first, followed by Tom, then Snape, and finally Lupin.

He is the person who is most hesitant to leave his back to others.

Harry looked at the disappearing figures and felt a little worried.

But when I think of Uncle Du’s skills, I feel that my worries seem unnecessary?

After going down the tunnel, it's not long before you reach the entire Hogwarts sewer system, and of course there are several Slytherin-style snake doors.

Thanks to Tom's cooperation, the journey was smooth and they soon arrived at the secret room at the end.

In addition to the interconnected corridors, the most eye-catching thing here is the huge human face statue right in front.

The human face statue occupied one wall of the secret room. Its beard spread out like snakes and its face looked like that of an old monkey.

This is the statue of Salazar Slytherin himself.

This statue of his looks quite majestic, probably to subtly instill his majesty into the little wizard in subsequent plans.

And he did succeed...in the case of Tom.

The reason why the young and energetic Tom wanted to summon the basilisk to kill all the half-blood wizards and ensure the purity of the wizarding bloodline was that this idea came from Slytherin.

He was expelled from Hogwarts by the other three founders because he insisted on accepting only pure-blood wizards.

For Tom at that time, he extremely hated his background. When he found out that he was a descendant of the noble Slytherin, he was ecstatic at first, but then he remembered that his father was a Muggle, he suddenly fell into unspeakable distortion and anger.

In fact, in a sense, Voldemort also had the mentality of holding an umbrella for future generations while getting wet in the rain himself... As long as he killed all the half-blood wizards and made all wizards terrified and never dared to have children with Muggles again, wouldn't there be no children like himself whose bloodline was ruined by Muggles?
This kind of train of thought, that is, wanting to kill all people with the same background as himself because he feels that his life experience is pitiful, is so bizarre that no one has ever been able to understand him.

Those who can understand him are probably all in a mental hospital.

Of course, for Tom now... he no longer thinks his bloodline is noble.

"Are you guys ready? I'm going to release the basilisk."

Tom looked at the three people behind him and said casually.

Snape immediately clenched his wand. Lupin noticed Snape's little movement from behind and immediately focused his attention.

Du Mu nodded. He had actually sensed the snake monster sleeping behind the wall. He raised his hand and let his magic power fill the air, ready to block the view at any time.

Seeing that the three of them were serious, Tom said to the Slytherin statue: "Hiss... Tsk..."

As Tom spoke in snake language, the Slytherin statue slowly opened its mouth... His lower lip was a movable stone slab that slowly sank into the pool.

The basilisk, feeling the door being opened, suddenly woke up from its sleep.

It stretched out its tongue warily and doubtfully, but as the price of becoming a large basilisk, it could no longer sense the heat that ordinary snakes use to sense their prey.

Because its body temperature and huge size are much higher than those of ordinary creatures, its tongue can only sense basic tastes.

And the smell coming in from outside indicated...there should be humans outside.

Humans... I haven't eaten humans for a long time.

There is a lot of meat, unlike mice and bats, which can only fill the gaps between teeth.

But the one who can open the door to the Chamber of Secrets should be the Heir of Slyderin... I hope the smell around him is food brought here to be fed to me.

The basilisk slowly squirmed its body and crawled out.

At the same time, Snape quickly took out his wand and was about to use the Fuchsia spell on Tom. Lupin, who had been prepared, found that Tom was about to cast a spell on his companions before the basilisk came out. He was immediately furious and cast a curse directly: "Expelliarmus!"

After all, Lupin was always paying attention to Snape's movements, and Snape wanted to launch a sneak attack. His previous movements were relatively covert. In addition, his weapon was one of the best spells that wizards had practiced for a long time to cast quickly. Snape didn't even have time to recite the second word of the Upside-Down Bell before his wand was knocked away by Lupin.

Tom was stunned, and immediately used the kung fu he had recently learned. He raised his hand and took Snape's wand in his hand.

The next moment, the basilisk crawled out, but immediately let out a hissing and strange cry of pain.

Before the three of them had time to react to each other's behavior, their attention was attracted by the basilisk. They subconsciously looked towards it, but immediately turned their gaze away.

Because of Lupin's behavior just now, Tom and Snape's thoughts were interrupted, and they almost came into eye contact with the basilisk.

But then, the basilisk could be heard struggling wildly, and it used its body as a sledgehammer to smash the statue of Slyderin like a demolition worker.

At the same time, Du Mu's voice was heard: "Don't worry, I have already poked out the eyes of the basilisk."

As he said this, he had already secretly stuffed two small packages into his arms.

I hope that the basilisk's eyes, after being removed, can still play a certain role.

If you are facing a large number of enemies, just throwing the basilisk's eyes out would be like a lethal flash bomb.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the eyeball can still function after leaving the basilisk's body.

After hearing Du Mu's words, the other three dared to look at the basilisk, only to see that its eyes had completely turned into blood holes. Since snakes' vocal organs are not well developed, its screams sounded like the hissing of continuous inhalation, and the whole snake looked extremely painful.

At the same time, they were surprised to find that a bright white sword was slowly penetrating into the basilisk's eye sockets.

The fear of death made the basilisk struggle even more violently, causing the entire secret room to shake and cracks to appear everywhere.

Du Mu frowned and waved his hand impatiently, and the bright white sword in the snake monster's eye socket suddenly rushed in...

Then the basilisk's body stiffened and it fell straight down, splashing countless water.

This scene stunned the other three people.

They didn't even try to stop the splashing water, and only reacted after being splashed with water.

Just...that's it?
Didn’t they see Professor Du Mu using any magic?
At this moment, Lupin and Snape finally realized that Professor Du Mu not only possessed information about countless destinies, but his personal strength was also not to be underestimated.

With just a glance, and without uttering a single syllable, the snake monster that might have lived for thousands of years was instantly killed.

Especially the fact that there was no sign of spell casting, it made one's back shiver when one thought about it carefully.
