Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 194
At this time, even Dumbledore, who had a calm face along the way, finally put on a serious face.

Behind this snake-shaped carved door is probably the secret room that Hogwarts has been legendary for thousands of years.

Whether this secret room is Slytherin's pet room or his laboratory, it will definitely not be a safe place.

No one knew what kind of protective measures Slytherin left here when he ran away, so it's not surprising that Dumbledore became cautious.

But now that they have come here, of course everyone will not stop because of possible dangers.

Therefore, the professors did not hesitate, and began to use their own means to try to detect the situation behind the door.

But it's a pity that this gate cuts off everyone from exploring behind the gate.

Obviously, without opening the door, they won't get any useful information.

But after all, this is a magic door set up by Slytherin himself, so it's not easy to open it?
Whether it is Dumbledore or several professors, they have all transferred the detection target to the gate at this time.

But whether it is magic means or physical means, the professors have tried it.

Even ordered Kyle to manipulate the forward base to physically destroy the gate after trying in vain.

But no matter how you try, the gate doesn't change at all.

Even the frontier base, where it was easy to dismantle the bathroom just now, couldn't leave even a single scratch on the door.

Professor McGonagall tried to manipulate the power of Hogwarts and ordered the castle to open the door, but McGonagall's order was also ignored.

Clearly, the castle is resisting this kind of behavior.

"Why is this door so strong?"

The little fat man who was watching the play was straightforward, and when he thought of this question, he asked it directly.

Kyle thought about it and gave his own judgment:

"It's not that the gate itself is strong, but the castle is helping it with its own strength."

"It must be Lord Slytherin who set some conditions for the door to be opened before leaving the castle."

"It may be a bloodline, or it may be some kind of inheritance. Only those who meet the requirements of Lord Slytherin can open it. Others will never destroy it by violent means."

"That's it..." The little fat man was a little bit regretful, and he smacked his mouth: "Doesn't that mean that although we found the entrance to the secret room, we can only watch here, and we can't even get in..."

Kyle shrugged and didn't answer his question.

In theory, the little fat man was right.

Because there is obviously no descendant of Slytherin in this group.

Neither Dumbledore nor the contemporary headmaster McGonagall met the entry requirements set by Slytherin back then.

Unless their strength has surpassed the entire castle, and they can directly carry the protection of the castle and destroy this gate, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to enter.

But there happened to be a bug among us.

Although Harry was not the true heir to the Chamber of Secrets, Kyle did not forget that there was a soul fragment of an heir living in his body at this time.

As rent, it shouldn't be a big deal to help a group of people open a door.

Kyle would not take the initiative to bring up Harry's problems to the professors, because this was a good opportunity to observe Dumbledore.

Does this old guy know anything about Horcruxes?

Did he even know that Harry had been made into a half-finished Horcrux by Voldemort?
Kyle was very interested in Dumbledore's next choice.

If this kind-faced, dark-hearted old guy chose to let Harry try it, it meant that he must know Harry's strangeness.

"Who is speaking?"

Before long, Kyle thought about the calculation in his heart, and heard Harry's doubtful voice, so he turned his head and looked at him:

"What's the matter, Harry, what have you found?"

Hearing Kyle's words, everyone turned their eyes to him, with doubts in their eyes.

The savior first smiled nervously to the surroundings, and then explained stutteringly:
"Senior Kyle, I seem to have heard a voice just now, as if someone was saying something like killing them."

Harry's voice was a little unconfident, because he didn't know if he really heard it, the voice was really a little low.

But hearing this explanation, Kyle's eyes flickered.

Now everyone has confirmed that there must be a huge snake-shaped monster behind the door.

The reason for this inference is that they saw a huge snake slough on the way here.

These little fellows around him will not say these words for no reason.

Obviously, the one who said this could only be the monster behind the door.

No, maybe not behind the door.

Kyle suddenly had a terrible guess.

The pipes in the underground space extend in all directions.

There may indeed be only one main entrance to the secret room, but there may be more than one passage for monsters to enter and exit.

Before he could figure it out, a huge snake-shaped monster had fallen from the sky.

The monster suddenly slipped out of a passage above everyone's heads.

This sudden attack forced the professors to flee around in embarrassment, avoiding the attack of the monster.

No wonder the professors are running away in all directions instead of choosing hard steel.

It's just that the size of this monster is too huge, especially since he descended from the sky with huge potential energy.

If you don't dodge, even Dumbledore will only end up being smashed into meatloaf.

"Don't look him in the eyes, it's a basilisk!"

It was Professor Snape who gave the warning the first time, with a hint of panic in his voice.

The professor often has to deal with magic materials, so he is very familiar with any magical creatures that can produce materials.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to reveal the identity of the monster in one go.

After being reminded by the professor, the others quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the monster again.

There is no need for the professor to explain more, just a name, others already know the threat of this monster.

In the puppet, Kyle quickly lowered the angle of view of the picture on the wall the moment he heard the professor exclaim.

So now everyone can only see the belly of the basilisk and the feet of the professors.

"Senior, why are you lowering your gaze so low? Quickly adjust it back, it's exciting right now!"

Wizards vs. Basilisks, if this scene were placed in the Muggle world, it would definitely be a proper blockbuster of the year.

The attraction of this to children is definitely no less than that of Ultraman fighting little monsters, so the little fat man watched it very seriously.

So when Kyle lowered the viewing angle, the kid Miller yelled out in a hurry.

Not only Miller, several other small animals were also very unhappy.

But they are much more measured than the little fat man, knowing that Kyle will not do this for no reason.

So although he was very disappointed, he still didn't complain about Kyle, but just watched him, wanting to know the reason why he did this.

Kyle did not directly answer their doubts, but slapped the little fat man on the head.

To be honest, although Miller is a noisy kid, he is extremely likable.

A sweet mouth will make things happen, especially for Slytherin in his heart, which is why he was accepted by the entire snake yard.

But it was this noise that sometimes gave Kyle a headache.

Looking helplessly at the little fat man, although he covered his head and stopped talking, his face showed a mighty and unyielding look. Kyle couldn't help but grabbed his head and bullied him again, and then explained:

"Didn't Professor Snape just say that? This is a basilisk. The eyes of the basilisk are born extraordinary. Any creature that looks directly at him will die immediately."

"Is this monster so powerful?" Listening to Kyle's explanation, the little fat man had already forgotten the grievance of being beaten, and his eyes were wide open.

But soon, he was puzzled again:

"Is this not the only monster in the secret room? The people who were attacked before were only petrified."

The eyes looking at Kyle were full of puzzlement, and he even wondered if the senior was trying to scare him.

It's a good thing Kyle didn't notice his little thought, otherwise he would definitely be out of his mind again!

"That's because they didn't look directly into the Basilisk's eyes."

Kyle explained:
"Myrtle was petrified because he had already died once, and it was impossible for him to die again. The Weasley brothers probably avoided the tragedy of being killed directly because they saw the reflection on the ground."

"As for Colin's little ghost, I'm afraid it was also a basilisk seen through the camera, not a direct comment."

Listening to Kyle's explanation, the little fat man stuck out his tongue and finally calmed down. He stopped making noises and asked Kyle to change his perspective.
At this time, the image projected by the puppet could no longer clearly see the situation outside.

All I could see were a few professors moving around, flashing a colorful magical light from time to time.

And the basilisk, constantly relying on its huge body, attacked several professors.

It's a pity that all the professors are the best of the best.

It didn't take long to get used to the Basilisk's attack mode, and then launched a counterattack.

Especially Professor Snape.

Since he has been continuously releasing Shenfeng Wuying on Pettigrew recently, his mastery of this magic has been improved, and he has even been improved again.

Thanks to Pettigrew's contribution, the Shenfeng Wuying in the hands of the professor has evolved into an unknown number of versions.

With this sharp magic, he left huge wounds on the basilisk's body.

As the basilisk continued to move, large pieces of blood were spilled on the ground.

Many of the gray-white skeletons had been dyed red.

"No, he wants to run!"

Everyone in the puppet suddenly heard Professor Flitwick's exclamation.

Animal instinct held the basilisk back as it took more and more damage.

It began to slam left and right, trying to escape the encirclement of the professors.

The wounds on his body did not weaken the basilisk's combat effectiveness much.

On the contrary, the threat between life and death stimulated its full potential.

But what the basilisk did was useless.

It is obviously wishful thinking to break through the encirclement set by the professors just by relying on the courage of blood and blood.

But for some reason, when the basilisk broke through, Dumbledore deliberately slowed down, allowing it to dive into the distant pipe and flee in a panic.

The other professors of course saw that Dumbledore was releasing water at the end, so they didn't chase after him, but looked at him puzzled.

Dumbledore had already recovered that smiling expression at this time:
"It's okay, don't worry that this basilisk will continue to do evil. I have already placed positioning magic on it. As long as he leaves the water pipe and enters the range of the corridor, I can immediately sense it."

As he said that, there was a hint of meaning in his expression:
"After all, this basilisk is just a thug. The heir is still hidden behind the scenes, without a trace."

After listening to Dumbledore's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that they put away the surprise on their faces, mourned for the heir in their hearts for a second, and then observed the gate again.

After all, there is a secret room behind the door.

Of course, everyone would not be reconciled if they were turned away just because they arrived at the door.

The professors thought they had enough time to find a way to enter the secret room.

Even if the door cannot be opened, judging by the appearance of the basilisk just now, it is obvious that there are paths leading directly to the secret room in the surrounding water pipes.

But it's a pity, as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, and people are not as good as heaven.

Dumbledore's plan was perfect, but he underestimated the complexity of the castle's plumbing.

Just as the professors were looking for a way to enter the secret room, Dumbledore's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted

"No, that basilisk has left the castle and is now moving towards the Forbidden Forest."

"Fox!"

Old Dengtou quickly explained to the professors what happened, and then loudly called out his phoenix.

After calling Fox, Dumbledore looked at several professors seriously:
"I'm going to chase that basilisk, you go to the Quidditch pitch immediately to protect those little wizards!"

After instructing the professors, Dumbledore turned his attention to the forward base:
"Kyle, you also went to the Quidditch pitch with a few professors, and your help is needed there."

Dumbledore's nervousness made the professors a little baffled.

It's just a wounded basilisk, how dare he rush out of the forbidden forest to attack those little wizards?
But before the professors could ask the doubts in their hearts, a phoenix's cry came from above the crowd.

"Okay everyone, I'm going to get rid of that basilisk, and I entrust the safety of the little wizards to you."

Saying that, Dumbledore grabbed Fox's feet, and was carried by Fox into the air.

Of course the old man understood the doubts of the professors.

Just when he was about to enter the water pipe, his voice with a hint of regret finally came from the ears of everyone:

"After you arrive at the Quidditch pitch, immediately escort the little wizards back to the castle, because in the Forbidden Forest not far away, there is a group of acromantula."

"Acromantula?!"

Before the two professors, Flitwick and McGonagall, could react, Snape had already gritted his teeth and shouted: "Why didn't I know that there are acromanders in the Forbidden Forest, and there are a group of them?"

Unfortunately, Dumbledore had disappeared at this time.

The professors could only suppress their inner doubts and quickly summoned the broomsticks, which was the fastest way to get to the Quidditch pitch.

When Dumbledore said the name of the acromantula, everyone understood why he was so flustered.

Basilisks are the natural enemies of these giant spiders.

Even just needing to feel a breath of the basilisk, the acromantulas will be extremely restless, trying every means to escape from where they are staying.

If these giant spiders had escaped to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, then the safety of the students would not be a problem.

But if these spiders escaped beyond the Forbidden Forest, it would be the unsuspecting little wizards who would bear the brunt.

In particular, Dumbledore also said that it was not one or two, but a whole tribe of giant spiders.

Once these giant spiders hit the little wizards, the consequences would be disastrous.
