"I must be dreaming!" Kyle muttered.
"You didn't, I assure you," smiled a wizard in a red cloak, the third person to emerge from the archway.
Following behind him was a witch with a cold face.
Four people, all together.
It took Kyle a long time to recover. He scratched his hair and said, "No, this is impossible..."
"I guess you must know who we are." said the cloaked wizard with a smile.
He also pushed the pointed hat on his head with his hand, as if giving Kyle a hint.
"Yes... and I am convincing myself to believe this unbelievable thing."
Kyle looked at the four people in the archway. "In fact, from what I know, you should be people from more than a thousand years ago... I mean, how could I possibly see you?"
"Because of time."
Salazar Slytherin said calmly, "You awakened the basilisk, but failed to put it back to sleep. Because of the lack of a specific command, the basilisk instinctively destroyed the special time-turner in the statue."
He pulled a gold pocket watch from his pocket.
"It has two, one in the future and one in the past. If the future is damaged, then it will have some connection with the past."
Kyle nodded, not quite understanding.
What this means is probably that when he first summoned the basilisk, Salazar Slytherin already knew it a thousand years ago.
Kyle had never seen or even heard of such an incredible method.
This can be considered as predicting the future.
"But you... why didn't you show up at that time?"
"Because he can't do it."
Gryffindor laughed and said, "His attack was originally to guard against me, lest I stew his precious basilisk. Unexpectedly, by mistake, he discovered you in a thousand years.
The time span is too long, and the connection between the converters alone is not enough to support us to communicate with you directly...
Unless you have also changed time and made yourself less "stable".
I think you must have been particularly persistent in using the time converter at some point in time..."
Kyle said nothing.
No wonder he always felt something was wrong before, now he figured it all out.
He didn't care about the certificates at all, but he took twelve courses, contrary to his usual practice... and applied for a time-turner twice...
"It's you!" Kyle suddenly realized, "Then those voices I heard at the beginning..."
"These are just some insignificant side effects," Gryffindor said, "Salazar originally thought you wanted to use the basilisk to do something bad, so his methods were a bit rough.
But it was mainly Rowena. She wanted to see how far you could go, so she used a very interesting magic... let's call it a Confusion Spell, using the stone statue in the castle as a medium to make you subconsciously hide the matter of the basilisk from others."
Rowena Ravenclaw looked at him indifferently, but did not refute.
In an instant, Kyle felt his mind become extremely clear, and all his previous doubts were resolved.
No wonder he always hesitated every time he wanted to tell Dumbledore about the basilisk. He didn't expect that this was also related to the Big Four.
After learning the truth, Kyle had a lot of questions to ask, but at this moment, the curtain suddenly flashed and the appearance of the four giants became much more blurry.
"We don't have much time." Helga Hufflepuff stepped forward and pushed Gryffindor away.
"Listen to me kid, I know you have a lot of questions, but they don't matter anymore. What you need to do now is to find a way to get time back on the right track, otherwise you will most likely be trapped in the time loop forever."
"Here's a piece of advice for you, boy," Gryffindor said, "Never touch the time-turner, or you will lose the protection of time."
"As compensation, I will help you smooth out the impact of this time-twister." Slytherin glanced at him calmly, "You can also take the basilisk away. The password to put it to sleep is... Sleep forever and wait for tomorrow's glory."
"Your Occlumency is terrible." Rowena Ravenclaw spoke for the first time.
Her voice was calm. "This technique is not as simple as you think. Do not slack off. When you find yourself standing still, put on my crown."
As soon as Ravenclaw finished speaking, the picture in the arch turned into a thick mosaic and then disappeared completely.
The snakes that formed the arch climbed back onto the pillars, and the chamber returned to peace.
Kyle stood there and let out a long breath.
He actually met the four giants of Hogwarts a thousand years ago and talked to them face to face.
It's not scientific... but it's magical.
Kyle wanted to think carefully about the bizarre experience he had just had, but he soon thought of what Hufflepuff had said.
From what she said, it seemed that she was not in the original time, and there was a high possibility that she would be trapped here forever.
Kyle didn't hesitate and ran out of the secret room immediately.
There was no Professor McGonagall or Harry outside the Chamber of Secrets... Kyle ran all the way to the end and returned to the castle through the pipe.
The sounds of talking and laughter echoed everywhere. As far as Kyle could remember, such a lively scene had not appeared for a long time.
He walked along the corridor and soon found two students walking together.
"Hello." Kyle came forward and greeted them.
"Oh, I know you, Kyle from Hufflepuff." One of them smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Terry Boot from Ravenclaw."
"Sally Ann Pox." Another said, "We are both second years in Ravenclaw."
"It's an honor to meet you." Kyle responded: "Excuse me, where are you going now?"
"To attend the Halloween dinner, of course."
The student from Terry Boot said, "I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore has invited a skeleton dance troupe. This year's Halloween dinner will definitely be exciting!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 324 New Halloween
Halloween dinner... Skeleton dance troupe?
My goodness, this has brought him back to several months ago?
Although it was a little unbelievable, Kyle accepted this fact very naturally, and even his expression did not change much.
He has even seen people from a thousand years ago... It's just going back a few months, no big deal.
After saying goodbye to the two second-year Ravenclaw students, Kyle walked alone to a corridor on the right... This was also where the first attack took place.
The students had all gone to the auditorium and the corridors were empty.
Kyle sat in a classroom, waiting, looking thoughtfully at the diary in his hand.
Now I finally know why this thing disappeared for no reason.
He had wasted so much time investigating the diary, and in the end, after all this fuss, it was still in his hands.
Kyle sighed quietly. Gryffindor was right. Time really couldn't be touched. It was really torturous.
But he was a little curious. Now that the diary was here, how would the first attack happen...
Time passed little by little, and Kyle hadn't heard cheers coming from the auditorium for a long time.
This means that the members of the Skeleton Dance Troupe have left and the students have started eating. If this continues, the dinner will probably be over soon.
Kyle sat in the room somewhat nervously.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind... Could it be that he was the one who did the first attack?
Because the diary is in his hands, which means that at this time, he is the only one who can control the basilisk.
"Could it be that I really became the heir to the Chamber of Secrets..." Kyle felt a little conflicted.
But just as he was hesitating whether to go to the Chamber of Secrets, Filch's voice suddenly came from outside the corridor.
"...I've had enough of this, throwing balloons everywhere and drawing turtles on portraits, as if I don't have enough work to do!"
coming……
Kyle hurried out of the room and used the Disillusionment Charm to hide behind the stair railing.
Not far away, Filch walked over from the other side of the corridor, complaining. He bent over and cleaned the water stains on the floor with a mop.
"Damn Peeves... No, I have to go find Dumbledore..."
Filch was getting more and more worried. At the original time, he was attacked on the third floor.
Kyle wondered if he was the heir who had attacked Filch... and if so, what he should do.
Go to the Chamber of Secrets to summon the basilisk?
But now Filch has appeared, and he may leave here and go to another floor at any time. Even if he wants to go to the Chamber of Secrets, it is too late...
"boom!"
Just when Filch was less than two meters in front of Kyle, the door of the bathroom next to him was suddenly kicked open from the inside.
A huge head popped out, followed by a long body...
"No fireworks in the castle..."
Hearing the noise, Filch subconsciously raised his head, "I'm going to put you in confinement this time..."
"Close your eyes!" Kyle shouted.
The basilisk was very obedient and closed its eyes immediately.
But it is no longer necessary.
When the basilisk came out just now, it also brought out a lot of water from the bathroom.
The moment Filch looked up, he saw the pair of yellow eyes reflected on the water.
"Bah…"
"Boom..."
The mop fell to the ground, along with a small bucket with red paint spilled all over the floor.
Filch stopped talking and stood there hunched over, looking exactly the same as the last time Kyle saw him.
