"Do you think you can escape?" Riddle walked over step by step, "You must die. Even Dumbledore can't save you!"
The Divine Sword Shadowless Spell is useless...
Kyle was a little helpless. If you can't win, just turn on the technology, right? This is too bad.
He thought of the diary at the feet of the statue.
Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far, and it would take at least five or six seconds to run over there. But as soon as he showed his head, a killing curse would be cast, and he couldn't get through at all.
But at this time, the basilisk slowly crawled out of the mouth of the Slytherin statue.
Kyle originally wanted to let it bite the diary, but gave up after thinking it over... With the basilisk's intelligence, it would probably be difficult for it to understand what a diary is.
"Kill that impostor!"
"kill him!"
They both shouted at the same time.
Riddle originally held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that since he had controlled the basilisk several times before, he might be able to play the emotional card by taking advantage of the familiar face.
It was not until the basilisk turned its head without hesitation that he was completely in despair.
"boom!"
This time Riddle really exploded, turning into a black mist, and his wand fell to the ground.
But soon, the black mist condensed together again.
Although the basilisk's gaze can directly affect the soul, Riddle is still a Horcrux. As long as the diary is intact, he will not die.
"Idiot, I am your master, the true heir of Slytherin!" Riddle shouted, "I have always been the one commanding you, it's me!"
But the basilisk didn't care about all that. Seeing that the little bean in front of it was still alive and kicking, it bit him directly on the head.
The next second, Riddle exploded again.
"boom,"
"boom!"
"boom……"
In the following time, the secret room was as lively as if firecrackers were being set off.
Relying on the fact that he could not die, Riddle had no intention of hiding at all. He kept speaking snake language, trying to regain control of the basilisk.
Until he accidentally saw Kyle pick up the diary at the foot of the statue...
Riddle's pupils shrank suddenly, and a terrible guess popped up in his mind.
"He knows he's a Horcrux!"
Once this idea came out, I could no longer stop it.
Especially after seeing the smile on Kyle's face, Riddle panicked.
He no longer focused on the basilisk and quickly picked up the wand on the ground and pointed it at Kyle.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
……
Being in such a hurry, the spells were naturally not very accurate and Kyle dodged them easily.
All of Riddle's spells ended up landing on the Slytherin statue at the back, blasting a large hole in it.
A large number of small animal bones and snake skin fragments fell out of the cave.
"Tsk... look at what you've done."
Kyle teased: "You don't even respect Mr. Slytherin's statue, how can you say you are his heir..."
Riddle turned a deaf ear to Kyle's ridicule. He now only wanted to kill Kyle and get the diary back.
Fortunately, Horcruxes are difficult to destroy, so even if they fall into Kyle's hands, it doesn't matter, he still has time.
"Avada..."
Just as Riddle was about to cast the spell again, a pair of yellow eyes suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Bang! Snap..."
Riddle exploded again.
"Here comes the wand!"
Ron's wand bounced twice on the ground and flew straight into Kyle's hands.
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps and voices suddenly came from outside the secret room.
"Here, Potter... come... open..."
The voice was soft and intermittent, but it must be Professor McGonagall.
Kyle also heard Harry's name.
Perhaps the professors guessed that the entrance would need to be opened in Parseltongue, so they called in Harry, who also spoke Parseltongue.
Anyway, it's about time.
Looking at the constantly twisting black fog, Kyle shook his head and recalled the basilisk, ready to let it bite the diary and completely end the incident before the professor came in.
He has violated quite a lot of school rules this time. Hopefully he can be deducted a few hundred points less later... But there's a good chance that the basilisk can't be saved.
However, Kyle did not notice that just as he was about to put the diary on the basilisk's teeth, a golden object fell out of the hole in the statue behind him.
The thing was round and looked like a golden pocket watch, but the difference was that it had five hands.
"despair……"
The pocket watch fell to the ground, causing the five hands on it to move simultaneously.
In an instant, the basilisk that had just opened its mouth began to fly backwards rapidly, and Ron's wand returned to Riddle's hand. The bones and rubble on the ground retreated back into the statue. Three spells flew from behind towards Riddle's wand and sank into the tip of the wand...
Time is going backwards.
Except for Kyle, everything around him was moving backwards rapidly.
It all happened so fast.
When Kyle came to his senses, he found that the basilisk was gone, Riddle was gone, and there was no Professor McGonagall's voice outside...
He was the only one left in the huge secret room, with the diary in his hand.
"What's going on...what happened?"
Kyle looked at the empty secret room blankly, feeling like he was dreaming.
Could it be that Riddle also has a time-turner?
But that's not right. If time is going backwards, why am I not affected...
Could it be that he was really dreaming?
Just like the previous few days, everything I saw was fake, and he was actually still sleeping in the school hospital?
Kyle touched his thigh and pinched it hard.
It hurts!
This seemed to mean that he wasn't having a bizarre dream.

Chapter 323 The Four Giants, a Dialogue Across a Thousand Years
Kyle looked around the secret room.
Not only did Riddle disappear, but even on the pillar on the left, there was no trace of the Sharp Edge Shadowless Spell.
Everything that happened before seemed like an extremely real dream.
But the pain in his thigh and the diary in his hand told Kyle clearly...this was all true.
Kyle walked around and finally looked up at the Slytherin statue.
Although I don't know what happened, I should destroy the diary first...if the basilisk is still in it.
"Speak to me..."
Kyle spoke in serpent language, but the statue's mouth did not open as before. Instead, the snake-like statues on the pillars moved.
They came alive...swam down the pillar like real snakes and gathered around Kyle.
This familiar scene made Kyle feel unwell.
It was confirmed that he was dreaming!
I guess it’s because I didn’t attack him lightly just now, that’s why he didn’t wake up.
Kyle gritted his teeth and was about to pinch himself again...but suddenly a deep voice came from above the secret room.
"Okay, what do you want to say?"
"Who!" Kyle raised his head suddenly.
At the same time, as the sound appeared, the snake statues that came to life began to connect with each other, and soon formed a huge circular arch.
A layer of transparent drapery, like water waves and soap bubbles, gradually emerged and filled the archway.
After the curtain shook a few times, a middle-aged wizard in a green robe appeared.
He looked at Kyle and asked expressionlessly, "Didn't you want to talk to me just now?"
"You...I..." Kyle opened his mouth, but was too surprised to speak.
He thought of a name, but the idea was ridiculous.
"Salazar, I think you should be more proactive. The child doesn't know what's going on."
At this time, a second person appeared in the archway, a fat witch... She looked exactly like the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff in the common room.
