Lin Xia came to the bathroom with a flush toilet again, where Myrtle died.
A small snake was carved on the side of a copper faucet in a pool, which was the entrance to the secret room.
She didn't speak Parseltongue, but that didn't stop her from imitating the sound she had seen from the Compass of Destiny showing someone opening the Chamber of Secrets.
Lin Xia didn't know what changes had happened to her soul after coming to this world. After all, this ghost body shared two souls, which made it inconvenient to explore.
But judging from the fact that her soul was able to suppress Myrtle's soul, her soul talent was very unusual, and perhaps she had some abilities that were different from those of ordinary people.
For example, when it comes to imitating Parseltongue, Lin Xia doesn’t think she can’t do it. On the contrary, it should be quite easy.
"Ugly myrtle, annoying myrtle, myrtle that only knows how to sit on the water tank and cry!"
The annoying Peeves spotted Lin Xia and came over to harass her.
Another soul in the mind began to clamor again, and the feeling of wanting to break free from the restraints appeared again, giving Lin Xia a headache.
She said, "Peeves, what else can you do besides playing tricks on people? If you hadn't been bothering Myrtle all the time, she wouldn't be living such a miserable life."
Peeves chuckled. "Myrtle's angry, but she can't do anything to us. Pranks make people happy, and seeing Myrtle cry makes us even happier!"
Lin Xia calmed down her restless mood and said in a bewitching tone, "I found an interesting place. Do you want to bully the giant snake?"
Peeves looked at each other in bewilderment, and a shrill voice rang out, "Snake?"
"Yes, a very stupid big snake with poor eyesight. It will hover in place and let you bully it. As long as you don't look directly into its eyes, it can let you fight for a long time."
"Stupid snake? A snake that allows itself to be bullied?"
There were loud, piercing pops, like the deflating of balloons, and Peeves's evil black eyes gleamed as he chuckled.
"Sounds like fun! Peeves have never seen a giant snake before, so they decided to bully it!"
Lin Xia said, "I'll give you an hour to prepare what you need. Remember not to take moldy peanuts; they won't harm the snake. This is just a friendly reminder from a friend."
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring a rooster, a lively rooster that crows. Big snakes are most afraid of roosters."
Peeves made a face at her and quickly left the bathroom. Myrtle looked down on them because they were going to prepare a big one.
Watching Peeves leave, Lin Xia floated quietly on the water tank, which was where Myrtle liked to stay when she was in a daze, and it helped to ease her mood.
Over the past three days, Peeves had been pestering her frequently, and Lin Xia had figured out their nature: they loved playing pranks, throwing peanuts at people, dropping wastebaskets on people's heads, pulling blankets from under people's feet, and throwing chalk stubs...
They are easily bored with the old and easily interested in new things, and will shift their targets as long as there is something they are more interested in.
What Lin Xia couldn't understand was that Peeves was not a ghost, but just a psychological spirit, but it could touch real objects.
What a magical world.
An hour later, Peeves caught three big, majestic roosters, which he had stolen from some unlucky student's dormitory, and brought a lot of small gadgets for pranks.
At Lin Xia's reminder, they deliberately took thick bricks, which were first-class and good stuff that could kill a dozen people.
Lin Xia stared at the copper dragon head carved with a small snake, "Open it."
The sound that came out of her mouth was a strange hissing sound, like the whispering of a crawling snake.
Suddenly, the faucet flashed a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. The pool also began to move slowly. Gradually, the pool disappeared and a very thick water pipe appeared.
Peeves rushed in without hesitation, cheering and happy.
Lin Xia also floated in. The slide was very deep, with many pipes branching out from it, but none of them was as thick as the one she was in. It went all the way down, and the slope was very steep.
After an unknown amount of time, the slide disappeared and they finally reached the end.
Peeves pulled out a matchbox and lit it.
There were dark, sticky walls on all sides, and it was very dark and damp.
"This is so fun! This is the bottom of the lake at Hogwarts. We are under the big black lake!" Peeves cheered.
Then they saw the shed skin of the giant snake!
It was bright green, hollow inside, and the snake skin was coiled on the ground, at least twenty feet long.
After walking a few steps forward, you will see a tall stone pillar with two snakes entwined with each other carved on it. There is a long and strange shadow at the bottom of the stone pillar.
After taking a few more steps forward, I could clearly see that the shadow was actually a sleeping snake!
Not far away, the huge stone statue of Slytherin stared at them silently, as if it had been waiting for their arrival.
Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat. She had seen it once in the destiny compass, but seeing it in reality was even more shocking to her.
Before she could react, Peeves rushed out, bravely charging forward to play a prank, picked up the brick in his hand, and smashed it at the basilisk!
"Hey, giant dumbass, come hit me!"
Lin Xia's eyelids twitched slightly. This wave of hatred was quite enough.
The basilisk awoke from its slumber and slowly coiled itself around the pillar, trying to come down.
But it was too big and too long, and its thick body looked a little clumsy.
The rooster placed on the ground seemed to feel great fear and began to crow anxiously.
“Hey——”
“Chuckle—”
Lin Xia discovered that the huge, bright green snake monster was actually trembling a little.
The Creator is fair. The more powerful a creature is, the more fatal flaws it has.
Who would have thought that a basilisk that had lived for thousands of years was only afraid of a rooster that had no special powers?
Lin Xia suddenly remembered the clip she saw in the fate compass. Before Myrtle died, the roosters in the academy had died one after another.
Without any natural enemies to restrain it, no wonder it dares to come out so arrogantly.
"Haha, stupid basilisk, stupid basilisk!" Peeves was no longer satisfied with just throwing bricks. He approached the basilisk and threw some sticky slime at it.
That's slug mucus, it has a weird smell and is purely for disgusting purposes.
Peeves dropped stink bombs, dung bombs, and a large area of bubble powder.
Bubble powder is a special magic powder that causes boils and blisters all over the body when used on the body.
When used on a giant snake, it cannot break the snake's scale defense.
But the biological dung bomb was not without effect. Lin Xia noticed that the giant snake opened its ferocious mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and two thick fork-like tongues shot out at lightning speed, trying to bite the mischievous Peeves.
But as soon as the tongue touches the odor particles outside, it immediately retracts.
In the enclosed space, the power of the biological dung bomb increased exponentially. The basilisk's thick tail smashed against the pillar, trying to shake the pestering Peeves off, but it refused to open its mouth.
The basilisk's poor eyesight prevented it from noticing that Peeves didn't even approach the pillar, but was just floating in the air.
Seeing the basilisk about to come down from the pillar, Lin Xia was unsure whether the ghost would completely disappear after seeing the basilisk, so he opened his mouth and said:
"Wrap around the pillar and don't move."
A strange hissing sound was heard, and Lin Xia ordered the basilisk in Parseltongue not to come down.
This sentence was not seen in the destiny compass. After Lin Xia uttered the first sentence in Parseltongue, he found that he had learned the snake language without any teacher.
The basilisk froze and hissed, "Are you... a descendant of Salazar?"
Lin Xia didn't answer.
"Strange... Salazar... How could he have two descendants?" The strange hissing voice sounded again.
The rooster's fearful crowing and Peeves' excited screams echoed in the secret room for a full three hours!
The basilisk did not resist under her command, and was tortured by the rooster's crowing, and its breath gradually became weaker.
Lin Xia felt that it was almost time and called upon the other soul in her body.
"The real murderer who caused your death is right in front of you. Do you want to take revenge personally, even if it means your death?"
"Myrtle, do you want to live as a ghost, half-human, half-ghost, wallowing in the sorrow of death, tortured by Peeves day after day, or do you decide to embark on a great adventure?"
She had seen many passages in the Destiny Compass, and her favorite was this one.
"Death is just another great adventure."
Myrtle let out a violent scream, and with a strong hatred, she broke away from her body and turned into a faint white light and rushed towards the basilisk.
At the moment when Peeves, Myrtle and the Basilisk were fighting, Lin Xia quickly stepped back and decisively activated the Scales of Fate!
