Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 101 Damn it... Xiao Fufu! Why are you hiding from me!
Cohen came to the outside of the greenhouse and just saw the location of Voldemort's soul strength outside the wall on the right side of the door...

Outside the wall is a meadow, and beyond that is the Black Lake.

The label just now was near the corner... Could it be that Voldemort was lying on the ground?
When he was about to see him around the corner, Cohen had already anticipated many possibilities. It seemed that Voldemort had obtained a new temporary body -

"Ok?"

Cohen looked at the empty grass and frowned.

The soul strength label was still there, but there was no human figure in sight—not even the shadow of a soul.

The origin of this label should be underground...

Cohen looked at the Black Lake not far away - the sewer pipes of Hogwarts led to the Black Lake, because Cohen remembered that Moaning Myrtle would be flushed into the Black Lake by the flush toilet.

In other words, Voldemort came in from the lake?
You don't even dare to take the right path? Are you so timid?
Cohen felt he had to consider whether the word "pus" described him or was a bit too flattering.

This wasn't just a case of him exploding from being poked by a needle; he wanted to self-destruct if Dumbledore even glanced at him...

How can he be the final boss like this? I feel inferior to... Grindelwald.

Suddenly, Voldemort's soul moved - he rushed towards the castle at a rapid speed, as if passing through a pipe, and Cohen quickened his pace to try to keep up with it.

But the closer its soul tag got to the castle, the "farther" it got. Cohen watched it gradually go deeper underground, and finally—

"Ow!"

Someone screamed, followed by a thud.

Cohen was so focused on Voldemort in the basement that he accidentally bumped into someone - it was Lockhart, who was also on his way back to the castle from the greenhouse.

"Ah, Professor, are you so sensitive to bumps?" Cohen "apologized."

"Ha, of course I can use magic to protect myself at any time." Lockhart rubbed his painful back and struggled to get up from the ground. "It's just that I'm afraid that using defensive magic will hurt you - you know, my powerful magic is usually very dangerous..."

But Cohen had no time to chat with Lockhart now. Voldemort's soul tag was going deeper and deeper underground, causing Cohen to have to be very careful in order to catch up with the tag with his eyes.

"Wait... weren't you the student who just went to the Herbology class?" Lockhart looked at the absent-minded Cohen and suddenly remembered.

"Sorry - my stomach hurts and I have to go to the bathroom!" Cohen said this and continued to rush towards the castle.

Since Voldemort's route was in the underground pipes, and the above-ground and underground structures of Hogwarts were very different - Cohen could not follow Voldemort's route to catch up with him quickly. After passing seven or eight classrooms and three moving staircases, Cohen could no longer see the soul tag.

"Damn it! Why are you hiding from me, little Fufu!"

Coin was a little annoyed. Wasn't their cooperation smooth enough? Did Voldemort think Coin would harm him?
There isn't even this basic trust between humans and Dementors!

The pursuit stopped in a corridor on the third floor. Cohen lost his target, but not completely.

Because this corridor happens to be Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and the entrance to the secret room.

It is very likely that Voldemort uses the Chamber of Secrets as his current hiding place - as the heir of Slytherin, Voldemort had been to the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago and released the Basilisk.

As for why Slytherin placed the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in the girls' restroom... If Cohen had the opportunity to write an unofficial history, he would like to write that "Slytherin was incompatible with the other three giants because he was too perverted, and finally left the school in disappointment."

There were water stains on the floor and faint crying sounds came from the bathroom.

Cohen pushed open the door—no one would come here for a long time, so he probably wouldn't be called a pervert...

"Woooo..."

Myrtle sat on the ceiling of a toilet cubicle, crying quietly and repeating something.

"All over the face with acne...ugly...woohoo..." The sound of Cohen opening the door and coming in caught her attention.

"what!"

Myrtle screamed when she saw Cohen and immediately got into the compartment below her - but within seconds, she poked a pair of eyes out from the compartment door again.

"You're the...Dementor that Nick was talking about!"

"Has your ghost circle spread?" Cohen closed the bathroom door behind him. "But I wouldn't hurt ghosts. I'm a good person. Or rather, a weird one."

"Nick said you bit him that time." Myrtle glanced at Cohen suspiciously, still hiding in the cubicle and not daring to come out. "'It felt like dying all over again,' that's what Nick said..."

"I doubt he did it on purpose," Cohen clarified. "He popped up from my plate while I was chewing on the leg of lamb, and it was obvious he wanted me to chew his neck clean off—but he didn't choose a good spot."

"Well……"

Myrtle dove into the toilet, and Cohen heard the splashing sound—she seemed still afraid to face a creature that could hurt ghosts, no matter how melancholy she was or how much she talked about death...

"Wait a minute—Ah!"

Cohen wanted to ask Myrtle if she had ever seen the pipe opened - but she was gone.

"Fine……"

Since Myrtle escaped at the speed of light, Cohen had no choice but to look around on his own.

There was a circular sink in the center of the bathroom, and Cohen quickly found the faucet leading to the secret room.

This copper faucet has a small snake carved on the side - just say "open" in snake language to it, and you can open the pipe leading to the secret room.

However, Cohen himself did not have the active skill of snake language in his mind... Maybe he had to pretend that the other party was a snake like Harry in order to speak it?
Cohen wasn't sure, so he decided to give it a try...

"His-"

[Where…]

[Where…]

Cohen's eyes suddenly widened as he was trying - he heard another hoarse voice - it was definitely not his own echo.

The soul strength label that Cohen originally thought was Voldemort's appeared again, in the floor pipe under Cohen's feet.

That soul...isn't it Voldemort but the Basilisk?

What's the basilisk up to? Didn't it start the massacre before the heir appeared? Why is it entering the plot now?

"Hello?"

Cohen asked—but it was still human speech, Cohen himself could tell.

Damn it, can I really speak snake language?
The basilisk was crawling in the pipe under Cohen's feet - Cohen actually had a way to see it: Cohen could leave his body and pass through the floor.

However, this behavior is very unsafe.

The basilisk can harm spirits—Nearly Headless Nick was turned to stone in the original film after being glared at by a basilisk.

Thinking of this, Cohen suddenly became unsure whether he could be immune to the basilisk's stare - no one had ever tried to use the basilisk to fight the Dementors.

Although he wouldn't die, if he turned into stone and waited for the Mandrake resurrection potion to be made, half a school year of his life would be wasted.
