Chapter 323: The Four Giants, a Dialogue Across Thousand Years

Kyle took a tour of the secret room.

Not only did Riddle disappear, there were no traces left by the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse on the pillar on the left.

Everything that happened before seemed like an extremely real dream.

But the pain in his thigh and the diary in his hand clearly told Kyle...this was all true.

Kyle walked around and finally looked up at the Slytherin statue.

Although I don't know what happened, I'd better destroy the diary first...if the basilisk is still inside.

"Talk to me..."

Kyle read the snake language, but the mouth of the statue did not open as before. Instead, the snake-shaped statues on the pillars moved.

They came alive... and swam down the pillar like real snakes, gathering around Kyle.

This familiar scene made Kyle feel bad.

Sure, he was dreaming!

He probably didn't wake up because he had been too gentle just now.

Kyle gritted his teeth and was about to pinch himself again...but a deep voice suddenly 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 living snake statues began to connect with each other, and soon formed a huge circular arch.

A layer of wavy, transparent curtains like soap bubbles gradually emerged, filling the arch.

After the curtain shook a few times, a middle-aged wizard wearing green robes 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 so surprised that he couldn't speak.

He thought of a name, but the idea was ridiculous.

"Salazar, I think you should be more proactive. The kid doesn't know what's going on."

At this time, a second person appeared in the arch, a fat witch... She looked exactly like the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff in the common room.

"I must be dreaming!" Kyle whispered.

"You didn't, I promise you." A wizard in a red cloak said with a smile. He was also the third person who appeared in the arch.

Behind him followed a witch with a cold face.

Four people, all together.

It took Kyle a long time to calm down. He scratched his hair and said, "No, this is impossible..."

"I guess you must know who we are." The wizard in the cloak said with a smile.

He also pushed the pointed hat on his head with his hand, as if to give Kyle a hint.

"Yes...and I'm convincing myself of something so unbelievable."

Kyle looked at the four people in the arch, "In fact, from my understanding, you should have been from more than a thousand years ago... I mean, how could I possibly meet you.

"Because of time."

Salazar Slytherin said calmly: "You awakened the basilisk, but failed to make it fall asleep again, because the lack of a specific password allowed the basilisk to instinctively destroy the special time turner in the statue. "

He took out a gold pocket watch from his pocket.

"There are two of it, one in the future and one in the past, and if the future is damaged, then it will have some connection to the past."

Kyle nodded in understanding.

This probably means that when he first summoned the basilisk, Salazar Slytherin thousands of years ago already knew about it.

Kyle had never even heard of this incredible method, not to mention seeing it before.

This is already a prediction of the future.

"But you...why didn't you show up then?"

"Because he can't do it."

Gryffindor laughed loudly and said: "His move was originally to guard against me, fearing that I would stew his precious basilisk. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, he discovered you a thousand years later."

The time span is too long, and the connection between converters alone is simply not enough to support our direct dialogue with you...

Unless you have also changed time to make yourself less "stable".

I think you must have been particularly obsessed with using the time turner during a certain period of time..."

Kyle said nothing.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong before, but now he has figured it all out.

He didn't care about those certificates at all, but he chose twelve courses uncharacteristically... and applied for a time turner twice...

"It's you!" Kyle suddenly said: "Then those voices I heard back then..."

"It's just a minor side effect," Gryffindor said. "Salazar originally thought you wanted to use the basilisk to do something bad, so the method was a little rough."

Kyle still had a lot of questions to ask, but at this moment, the curtain suddenly flickered, and the appearance of the Big Four became much 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 problems, 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 are likely to be trapped in a time loop forever. ”

"I'll give you a word of advice, boy," said Gryffindor: "Never touch the Time-Turner, it will make you 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 brain occlumency is too poor." Rowena Ravenclaw spoke for the first time.

Her voice was very calm, "I suggest you learn this spell first. When you find yourself standing still, put on my crown."

At this time, the picture in the arch had turned into a thick mosaic, and then disappeared completely.

The snakes that made up the arch climbed back onto the pillars, and the secret room returned to peace again.

Kyle stood there and exhaled a long breath.

He actually met the four giants of Hogwarts a thousand years ago, and talked to them face to face.

This is unscientific... but very magical.

Kyle wanted to sort out the bizarre experience just now, but he soon thought of what Hufflepuff said.

From what she said, it seemed that he was not in the original time, and it was very likely that he would be trapped here forever.

Kyle ran out of the Chamber of Secrets without hesitation.

There was no Professor McGonagall or Harry outside the Chamber of Secrets... Kyle ran all the way to the end and followed the pipe back to Myrtle's bathroom.

Myrtle was not here either, so Kyle opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

The castle was filled with voices and laughter.

In Kyle's impression, this kind of lively situation had not appeared for a long time.

He walked along the corridor and soon found two students walking together.

"Hello." Kyle stepped 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." The other person said, "We are both second-year Ravenclaws."

"It's an honor to meet you." Kyle responded, "Excuse me, where are you going now?"

"Of course, to attend the Halloween dinner."

The student of Terry Boot said, "I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore invited a skeleton dance troupe. This year's Halloween dinner must be very exciting!"
