Harry Potter and the Master of Magic Chapter 38: The pipes in the castle

　　 Zhang Hao took a few friends and checked the three crime scenes one by one.

　　 "Harry, the first time you heard the weird voice was here, right?" Zhang Hao took them to a corridor leading to the underground classroom-this is the place where Harry chased the mysterious voice when Professor Nick died. Corridors.

　　 "No!" Ron reminded: "Harry heard that weird voice for the first time, before then. He helped Roha write a letter in reply, and that was our punishment. Oh! You don't know. , I didn’t use magic at the time, so I wiped hundreds of trophies with my bare hands! That kind of punishment is so cruel, I don’t want to experience it again in the future."

　　 "This kid, I just digressed when I talked!" Zhang Hao spit out in his heart, and then asked: "Harry, is that true?"

　　 He remembered that he hadn't heard of this, after all, he was not Gryffindor, and it was impossible to follow Harry all the time.

　　, when he was here that day, Harry said ‘that voice appeared again’.

　　 This shows that he had indeed heard the sound of the basilisk before that, and he also told Ron.

　　 "That's right." He recalled: "The sound was very soft, like an illusion. I only talked to Ron."

　　 "Why didn't I expect that what you heard was the snake-like voice?" Ron laughed at himself: "If I knew that you can speak the snake-like voice, maybe I can prevent you from being suspicious."

　　 "Don't be silly!" Harry shook his head and said, "I can't speak that language without facing the snake. How could you know it."

　　 Ron was speechless, and the hallway fell silent.

　　 Zhang Hao touched the feathers of the piano, and asked: "Where did the sound you heard at that time come from? Do you remember the location?"

　　In order to guard against the basilisk, he brought the phoenix by his side.

　　The phoenix is ​​a more advanced magical creature than the basilisk, and it may be useful at critical moments.

　　 "In the wall at first," Harry pointed to a wall, then slowly looked up, as if playing back the scene of the day.

　　 "Then the voice started to move upwards, and it was very fast." He explained, "I was a little confused, so I started chasing the voice upwards. You all know later, let's chase the **** the second floor. Near the toilet, I saw Mrs. Loris who was petrified."

　　 Zhang Hao nodded, then pointed to the wall and said, "This is far from the second floor, and there are no stairs. You said, how did the basilisk get from here to the second floor?"

　　 "It's a pipe!" Hermione exclaimed: "The basilisk moves through a pipe. There is a pipe in this wall! Let's look for it. Maybe we can find a pipe exit at a crime scene."

　　 They looked around, and finally stopped in the corridor where Justin had an accident.

　　 There are no duct outlets, and there are no gaps between the walls, ceiling, and floor.

　　 Obviously, if there is a pipe exit connecting the crime scene, it must be hidden.

　　"Where did the basilisk come from?" Harry said anxiously, "Even if it hides in the wall, it will always come out to harm people? As long as it wants to harm people, it must come out of the pipe!"

　　 Zhang Hao didn't speak, he was still watching carefully.

　　 Suddenly, he noticed the circular relief near the ceiling.

　　This kind of relief is very common in castles. They are all the size of a wheel. They are carved with lions or snakes, or eagles and badgers.

　　 These round reliefs are everywhere in the castle, so no one pays particular attention to them.

　　 But now, Zhang Hao thinks of the pipe and looks at the relief, but the more he looks at it, the more he feels it looks like a manhole cover.

　　 "Harry, you speak snake language to the relief engraved with snakes." He said in a deep voice, "Use snake language to order it to open."

　　 everyone said in unison: "Those reliefs engraved with snakes may be the exit of the pipe?"

　　"This is just a guess, it hasn't been verified yet!" Zhang Hao said helplessly: "Harry, try it!"

　　 So everyone turned their eyes to Harry again.

　　 "I will try, but don't hope for it." He hesitated: "I have never tried to speak in front of a relief."

　　 Things really didn't go so well, he held back for a long time, but he didn't even say a word.

　　 "I'm sorry!" He said embarrassedly: "Maybe I can speak snake language only when I face a snake."

　　 Okay! This is not incomprehensible.

　　Zhang Hao didn't say much, and directly cast a spell to conjure a snake.

　　 "Oolong out of the cave!"

　　 was the dark magic Draco used on the day of the duel.

　　The black snake approached Harry, and Zhang Hao quickly said to him: "Try it! Say ‘open’, you have to believe that you can succeed."

　　 He also took out his tape recorder, intending to record Harry's snake quotations-maybe it will be available when?

　　 Harry looked at the black snake nervously. Gradually, he felt that all the external influences around him were diminishing, as if he and the snake were the only ones in the world.

　　 "Sizzle!"

　　He finally spoke another language.

　　 Snake: "Hissing to death!"

　　 Zhang Hao guessed that the snake must have not understood what Harry said, because its expression looked ‘confused’.

　　 There is no response from the relief near the ceiling. Everyone suspects that this plan has failed!

　　 But... Not far away there seemed to be the sound of rubbing rocks.

　　 Zhang Hao listened intently, lit the light with his magic wand, and looked for it over there.

　　 "hiss!"

　　The friends took a breath, and they stared at the ceiling, where there was a black hole the size of a wheel.

　　 "There is a pipe outlet here!"

　　 They are very excited, it seems that the truth is not far away!

　　"The pipe exit is indeed in these reliefs. There may be many such exits in the castle." Zhang Hao put on the smoky crystal glasses and looked carefully at the hole.

　　 At this time, you must be careful~ IndoMTL.com~ If you meet a pair of big dim eyes, the fun will be great.

　　 "Hao! Your guess is correct." Hermione glanced at the other reliefs and muttered: "Not every relief is a pipe exit. We just stood in the wrong position. Fortunately, Harry's voice can be heard. Here, otherwise this door may not be able to be heard."

　　 Other people also agreed with this statement, and they also took out their sunglasses and put them on-these are all ordinary sunglasses.

　　 There are a lot of this kind of daily necessities in Zhang Hao's pocket. Ordinary sunglasses are not as good as smoky crystal glasses, but they are enough to save your life when facing a basilisk.

　　A group of little wizards with sunglasses, this picture...

　　 "It's so dark!" Ron said uncomfortably, "Since we have found the entrance to the secret room, should we go in and catch the basilisk?"

　　 "Don't be silly!" Hermione reprimanded, "Do you think any of us can deal with the basilisk? That is one of the most dangerous magical creatures. Adult wizards can die if they encounter them. We can't be too arrogant. This matter must be reported to the professor."

　　 "Will the professor believe us?" Harry whispered, "If the professor doesn't believe it, we have to figure out our own way."

　　 Draco said timidly: "It's better to tell the professor about this. If the basilisk is really big, it can kill us even if it can't stare at us!"

　　 Daphne still doesn't care about anything. She pretended to be very scared, holding Zhang Hao's arm, and leaning toward him.

　　 "Don't be afraid, Daphne! Basilisk is not so easy to appear, we are safe now." Zhang Hao calmed Daphne, and said cautiously: "Let's tell the professor our guess first! I think they should be able to handle it. Good."
