Chapter 174 Lockhart feels he can do it again!

Ted reasoned with dear Professor Lockhart and successfully convinced him.

"Come on, professor, please go on your way~" Ted stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

The chicken on the desk lowered its head and approached, looking down at Lockhart. Lockhart looked at the golden beak that was longer than his finger, and felt a chill in his heart. He could only smile with difficulty and stood up.

Lockhart dragged his feet forward step by step as if he was walking to the execution ground, his heart was dark.

Suddenly, Ted in front of him stopped, and he realized that he had come to the corridor where the words "the secret room was opened" were written at the beginning.

Could it be that the entrance to the secret room is here?

Lockhart shuddered!
This place is not far from my office!

"Let's go, Professor." Ted took the lead and walked into the abandoned bathroom.

Lockhart was stunned, and took a closer look. It was indeed the women's restroom. The secret room was actually in the women's restroom? Who the hell did this?!

Lockhart was about to cry. The Chamber of Secrets was right next to me, and it was placed in the ladies' room. Who could find it?
Newborn!
Walking into the women's bathroom, he found that the space was quite large. Lockhart had never been to this place before, so he looked around with some curiosity - there was no urinal, and other than that there was nothing special.

There is a circle of washbasins in the middle, and inside is a row of small cubicles.

There were several other students in the girls' room, including Neville, Hermione and others.

Lockhart should have thought of it long ago. These six people are inseparable and must be together.

Neville, Ron and the others all looked at Ted: You really hired him to block the curse!
"How is it? Have you found any clues?" Ted asked.

Jerry quickly raised his hand, moved to a faucet, and said with a little excitement: "I found that this faucet doesn't produce water, and I touched the side and found a snake-shaped relief."

Ted looked at Neville, "Neville, it's your turn. Say open to it, in Parseltongue."

"Parseltongue!" Lockhart suddenly seemed to understand something!

That’s right, legend has it that Slytherin is a Parseltongue, so isn’t it just right to use Parseltongue as a criterion for selecting the heir!
But... Longbottom will be the heir?
He thought about Neville's behavior: Impossible. There is not a single Slytherin in Longbottom. How could he be the heir of Slytherin? I believe he is the heir of Gryffindor.

But Neville's Parseltongue was unmistakable. He walked to the faucet, looked at his friend a little confused, then looked at the old faucet, and opened his mouth: "Open it!"

no response!
Jerry: "Neville, you're speaking human language, in Parseltongue!"

Parseltongue? How can I say that! Neville secretly hated Parseltongue and never used it once.

I'm a bit at a loss now.

Ted had no choice but to guide him: "Neville, look at this faucet. Imagine that it is a snake, a cold and slippery snake. It is waiting for you to speak. Tell it, command it to turn it on!"

Guided by Ted's voice, the gray old faucet seemed to begin to change, turning into a gray-black snake.

"￥%……#@~" A hissing sound like a snake spitting out its tongue came out of Neville's mouth.

Then the sinks and faucets in the middle circle suddenly began to move, just like the wall of the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley, and began to change.

The washbasin spread outward, revealing a large hole in the ground with a diameter of nearly two meters!

A rotten smell came up, like the smell of an old room that hadn't been ventilated for a long time.

Ted poked Lockhart's lower back with his wand, and said, "Professor, you go first. Set an example for the students."

Lockhart almost cried out loud at that moment. He didn't want to die!
Ted, Ted, when did you become like this? You were not like this before?!

However, as the magic power on the wand gathered, Lockhart had to put away his fear of the unknown monster, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped~
The hole was connected to a very long and smooth pipe. Lockhart's butt rubbed against the pipe and he slid down very quickly. After more than ten seconds, he felt as if his butt was on fire and he couldn't help but scream.

The sound became fainter and fainter in the pipe, and it seemed to be sliding away.

Ted glanced at his friends and shrugged, "I'm the next one. I suggest that everyone grease their butts with their feet. Professor Lockhart's scream just now was a bit miserable..."

Ted cast several spells on himself before he floated down to the pipe below. His friends behind him gritted their teeth and went down one by one every 5 seconds.

We slid down for about five or six minutes before we finally reached flat ground.

It was dark and damp here, with tiny bones scattered all over the ground. Ted looked around and thought that this must be deep under the castle, or even under the Black Lake.

Professor Lockhart covered his buttocks with his hands and crouched in the corner in a frustrated forward bend orz posture, groaning in pain but not daring to speak loudly.

His pants were all torn, and his delicate buttocks were probably not spared either.

When the friends who followed him saw him like this, they couldn't help but feel lucky that Ted had used the "foot grease" trick on his butt.

"Where is this place?" Hermione asked in a low voice. The broken bones under her feet made a rustling sound, which made her very uneasy.

Ted said, "It should be underground. The secret room should be not far away. Everyone put on your goggles."

Lockhart was puzzled when he saw Ted and the other six wearing cool goggles: It's so dark here, why are you still wearing sunglasses? If there's no other way, why don't we go back? Let's invite the principal back and let him do justice!

Ted snapped his fingers, and the sound was very clear in the darkness. Ansu suddenly appeared from nowhere, circled silently above everyone's heads, and then flew forward to explore the way.

Parker, the spiritual crystal servant in his arms, was also trying his best to sense the movements of the surrounding minds and bodies.

We must be on guard.

With Ansu leading the way, Ted and his group moved forward carefully.

About seven or eight minutes later, Ansu in front suddenly sent a message to Ted, saying that he had made a discovery.

Ted saw a giant snake through Ansu's eyes!
But it doesn't move, and the color is a little pale...

It's snake skin, or to be more precise, snake shed.

Reptiles like snakes can keep growing, but their skin cannot grow as fast, so when they grow to a certain size they have to shed a layer of skin and become larger.

This coiled snake skin is quite large, and appears to be about one meter in diameter. The length cannot be seen because it is coiled together, but it must be at least twenty meters!
What a giant snake!

"Let's go, we found something." Ted led the team straight over.

Everyone was frightened by the pile of snake skins that was as tall as two or three people. They all stared at it in silence.

Lockhart was terrified at this moment. He had just heard Ron say that the monster in the chamber of secrets was a basilisk!
Such a huge basilisk? Anyone who stares at it will die!

If I really go and rescue people with these brats without knowing the consequences, I'll be dead!

At this moment, Lockhart's mind was full of thoughts and he was extremely excited. In the perception of the psicrystal servant Parker, he was as conspicuous as someone holding a flashlight in the dark.

But Ted pretended not to notice and still turned his back to the crowd, looking at the huge snake skin.

At this time, Lockhart had already made up his mind: if he continued, he would surely die, so he might as well give it a try!
If I could subdue all these children, cleanse their memories with the Forgetfulness Spell, and then shed my skin with all these snakes, not only would I be able to avoid death, I could also become a hero!

He stared carefully at Ron in front of him, his wand at his waist - sneak attack!
He pounced forward, snatched Ron's spell, and without waiting for Ron to shout, he cast an Ultimate Enhanced, All-Out, Forgetfulness Spell at Ted who was in the front without hesitation!

"Oblivion~~~" Lockhart's voice echoed in the empty underground space.

The friends looked back in surprise and saw that Ron's wand wrapped with magic tape in Lockhart's hand emitted a strange green light, and then suddenly burst out from the end and hit Lockhart's chest.

Lockhart jumped from the spot, flew straight up to a height of more than three meters, hit the top of the cave, and then fell to the ground, without any movement.

The fall was so hard that the loose soil on the ground was stirred up more than a meter high.

"He, he, he, he couldn't be dead, could he?" Ron looked as if he had seen a ghost, fearing that his wand had killed someone.

"Professor Lockhart? Professor Lockhart?" Everyone called out to Lockhart carefully, just like they did in the Duelling Club.

Lockhart's eyelids trembled and he opened them. Then he grinned and laughed foolishly: "Hehe~hehe~" His eyes were as innocent as a baby's.

Ted used his psychic powers to sense that Lockhart's mental body was almost completely white.

Factory reset!
Lockhart's Oblivion Charm was extremely advanced, and he still used it with all his strength in a desperate situation. Then he was hit by the triple-powerful backfire, which wiped him out.

Have a pure heart like a baby!
