On the third floor of the castle...from a women's bathroom on the corridor to the left of the stairs, there were suddenly several loud laughs and a shrill scream.

A ghost wearing glasses suddenly rushed out through the wall.

The next second, the wooden door of the bathroom was opened from the inside.

Peeves followed with a laugh, holding a handful of balloons filled with water. On his waist was a brand new bag filled with balloons of various colors, so he had plenty of ammunition.

Shortly after the two ghosts left, a corner of the originally empty corridor suddenly twisted.

"Huh...finally left."

Kyle lifted the Disillusionment Spell, then walked to the bathroom and pushed the door open.

Because it had not been used for a long time, the old wooden door suddenly made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

The bathroom was small and dusty.

But Kyle didn't care about that. He came to the pool, looked around, and soon found the faucet with a little snake carved on the side.

"This should be it..." Kyle reached out and touched the snake, muttering, "The entrance to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Kyle hesitated for a long time about whether to come here.

Because with his current strength, he would have no chance of winning if he faced the basilisk.

And he is not Harry, so he will not have the help of the Phoenix and the Sorting Hat.

But Kyle came anyway.

Not to mention anything else, even just for the snake skin in the secret room, he had to come.

Like the fire dragon, the basilisk's entire body is a treasure. Its snake skin is an extremely rare material for potions. On the black market, a piece the size of a palm can be sold for ten Galleons, and there is no demand for it.

The one in the secret room is almost twenty feet long, and it can be piled into a mountain if it were replaced with Galleons.

It was not easy for him to endure until now and come here.

Kyle touched the little snake again and a strange hissing sound came from his mouth.

"Open……"

Although Kyle does not need Parseltongue to communicate with snakes, this ability obviously does not work on faucets.

So when he was at Newt's place before, Kyle found a runes snake and learned a few words of dialect from it.

Although it may not be authentic, it is definitely standard.

Because at this time the faucet had emitted a dazzling white light and began to rotate rapidly, and then the sink also moved.

Kyle watched as the pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a pipe large enough for a person to crawl into.

Kyle touched his box, took out his broom from it, and then got in decisively.

The light in the pipe was very dim, and there was some sticky stuff all around.

Kyle rode his broom all the way down, turning seven or eight times before finally leaving the pipe.

Kyle got off his broom.

It was a dark stone tunnel, large enough for a person to stand inside.

"Lumos!"

Kyle lit his wand and walked forward carefully.

It was just that the tunnel was too dark and he could only see a very small area in front of him. His shadow was stretched out on the wet wall and he looked like a monster.

There are rat bones everywhere on the wet ground, and Banban will probably like them very much.

A few minutes later, Kyle turned a dark bend in the tunnel and finally found what he was looking for.

The silhouette of a huge creature coiled on the other side of the tunnel, motionless.

Kyle quickened his pace and walked over, raising his wand.

The light shone on a huge piece of snake skin, which was green and shining with bright golden light, and was very bright.

Kyle immediately opened the box and stuffed the whole thing in.

After that, he looked around again, but only found some scattered snake skin fragments. This was the only complete one.

Seeing this, Kyle gradually let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.

The fact that there is only one complete snake skin means that the basilisk does not often move around here.

If his guess was correct, the one just now should have been left behind fifty years ago...when Tom Riddle first opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Kyle continued to move forward, but for safety reasons, he did not completely let down his guard and still held the broom tightly.

Along the way, in the spirit of diligence and thrift, Kyle did not let go of the fragments and took them all away as soon as he saw them.

He picked up items as he walked and soon arrived at the end of the tunnel. After turning the last corner, a solid wall blocked Kyle's way.

On the wall were carved two snakes entwined with each other, with large, sparkling emeralds in their eyes.

Kyle reached out and pressed his hand on one of the gems.

He suddenly thought, if he took down these gems, then this wall would never be opened...

Kyle thought so and did so.

Unfortunately, no matter what method he used, whether it was physical prying or magic, the gem showed no signs of loosening.

It feels as if it is integrated with the entire wall.

Kyle spent a lot of effort but only exhausted himself.

"Forget it, I won't try..."

He raised his head, looked into the eyes of the two snakes, and once again let out a low, hoarse hissing sound.

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing. Kyle reached into the box, took a deep breath and walked in.

On the other side of the wall was a long, dimly lit room with two rows of stone pillars carved with entangled snakes.

After arriving here, the snake skins were completely gone, not a single trace could be found.

Kyle held a wand in one hand, a rooster's neck in the other, and a broom under his arm, and moved slowly between the stone pillars around which the giant snake was coiled.

Every step he took produced a hollow, loud echo between the ghostly walls.

Kyle first looked around carefully, and only after he was sure that there were no other pipe openings except the entrance behind him did he feel at ease to cross the room.

Before the last pair of stone pillars, Kyle spotted a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall at the back.

The statue has a frail monkey face and a sparse, long beard that almost drags on the ground.

"Salazar Slytherin..." Kyle narrowed his eyes and muttered softly, "He doesn't look that good. The Hufflepuff lady looks more like a legendary wizard..."

Kyle raised his head. He knew that as long as he uttered the last sentence in Parseltongue, the statue's mouth would open, and the basilisk would then wake up completely.

"Should I wake up the basilisk?" Kyle thought hesitantly.
