Chapter 144: To Prevent Suicide
"Fan Lin, I think you took it..."
Hermione said carefully, the sink in front of her exploded like an ordinary object under the power of the blasting spell, but unfortunately nothing was left behind.
"But... it's possible..." Fan Lin said awkwardly. He should know that the entrance to the secret room is not so easy to enter.
"What now?" Hermione said, "There must be something left by Salazar Slytherin here..."
It can be seen from the magic hedging light just now that Fanlin originally thought that his spell would fail, but that was not the case.
"You don't have to worry about this..." Myrtle floated out faintly, and the strong light just now scared her, if ghosts can also jump.
"This sink is very interesting..."
"What do you mean?" Fanlin asked Myrtle doubtfully. No matter how things related to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets were viewed, they would not be pleasant things.
"It will recover automatically, as if someone is constantly casting a repair spell on it... In fact, this entire toilet has this effect, and this does not include the things that were pressed later. At least I have been here for so long, it has never No one has come to maintain it..."
"Maybe it's just because this place is abandoned..." Hermione frowned, "Even if he recovers, there's nothing surprising. This is the magical world..."
"You mean, no house elves have ever maintained this place?" Fan Lin squatted on the ground and touched the scattered stones with his hands. The original lines of the sink could still be seen on them.
"Yes, at least I haven't seen it!" Myrtle said resentfully, "No one wants to see me except you, oh...ugly and dirty Myrtle..." After she finished speaking , Myrtle covered her face and began to cry, tears passing through her palms and then dissipating in the air.
Fan Lin very much doubted whether these tears were illusions or something...
"Calm down... Myrtle, calm down..." Fan Lin grabbed the faucet engraved with the Slytherin snake logo and picked it up.
"Not everyone hates you, Myrtle, you don't have to be like this!" Hermione said with difficulty, but Fanlin read Hermione's true intention from Hermione's expression.
"Really?" Myrtle suddenly raised her head. She startled the two of them, and they were both frightened for a moment.
"You are lying to me..." Myrtle cried louder, and with the flow of water around her, Fan Lin felt a little dizzy...
"She...what's wrong with her." Hermione said a little frantically. Even after spending some time with Myrtle, she still couldn't accept it.
"Who knows..." Fan Lin said a little badly, and Myrtle's crying became louder and louder.
"Reparo!"
Fan Lin ignored Myrtle, whose head was half submerged in the ceiling. He threw the faucet back and restored the sink with a restoration spell.
He didn't want anyone to discover these ruins that day and damage the public finances. Fanlin felt that there were ways to clear it up in the magic world, such as the magic patterns all over the school, or the house elves hiding in the darkness...
Moreover, Fan Lin has checked and found that the ground there is solid, at least according to the magic feedback, and there is not even a trace of magic patterns on the exploded stones.
But it's strange why a small sink in the women's bathroom has the Slytherin symbol and a magic hedge. However, there is no evidence and nothing can be concluded.
But Fanlin could feel that this must be the secret room, or something related to the secret room. But now they can't find a way to reveal their secret. Especially now that the school is taken over by Malfoy's father, Lucius, leading a group of school directors, Dumbledore has completely disappeared.
Fanlin was not sure what the consequences would be if he contributed what they had concluded.
However, according to those pure-blooded guys, especially Lucius, all people with impure blood should be eliminated. Perhaps they are more willing to have this illusory heir of Slytherin remove all the people they hate from them. School cleared out.
What they need to find now is a way to open the secret room, and then find evidence to help Dumbledore regain control of his school.
"Fan Lin... what are you thinking about?" Hermione shook the dazed Fan Lin badly. He stood there after casting the recovery spell, not knowing what he was thinking...
"Sorry..." Fan Lin came back to his senses, Myrtle was still crying, half of her body was no longer visible, and she kept floating upward.
"Let's go and see what Harry has gained..." Fan Lin shook his head helplessly. Myrtle was in such a state that she couldn't communicate at all.
Hermione nodded, she wanted to leave here, but with Myrtle's crying, she couldn't think at all.
"Don't tell Harry what you found when you go back!" Fan Lin flipped the black book back and forth as he walked.
Although this black book looks shabby on the outside, the papers inside are indeed intact, but there is no content at all on it.
In the lower right corner of the first page, I don’t know what kind of ink was used to write a name, Tom Riddle.
"'Why..." Hermione said, she had not recovered from the chaotic and terrible state just now.
In fact, the same is true for Fanlin. The power of Myrtle's cry is much more useful than the fear spell. How about a double combo of Fear + Confusion?
"I don't know..." Fanlin's brain was twitching, and he blurted out this sentence unconsciously.
"What?"
"Oh... no..." Fanlin quickly explained, "I mean, it's better for us not to tell Harry."
"I think you know, Hermione, there must be something related to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, otherwise Myrtle wouldn't say that."
"Maybe Myrtle just had a seizure..." Hermione said without thinking.
This made Fanlin break out in a cold sweat. If Myrtle heard this, Myrtle would definitely make their heads explode.
"No, no one would joke about their own death..." Fanlin said this with a guilty conscience, "Anyway, wherever Myrtle died, that place must be related to the Chamber of Secrets, but we don't even know what the monster is."
"You mean, to prevent Harry from committing suicide?" Hermione nodded, "Indeed, if Harry knew about this, he would definitely be eager to come here to solve it, with a serious tendency to commit suicide..."
"Hehe...hehe..." Fanlin laughed awkwardly twice, Hermione's adjective was really appropriate. (To be continued)
