Chapter 23 Secret Room
Chapter 23 The Secret Room
Mu Yu jumped into the secret room the next second. She didn't hesitate at all. She felt like she was sliding in the pipe, and she was afraid that she had reached a very deep part of the castle.
At the end of the secret passage is a huge and empty square. The surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of water dripping on the ground was particularly clear. Perhaps, there are even more violent creatures squirming in the pipes.
Mu Yu walked back and forth in the quiet secret room: "Ingenious design. What you just said was snake language."
"You are so confident in your own strength, which is not like a Slytherin at all." Tom Riddle's voice said in echoed in the empty secret room.
"I'm not confident enough yet." Mu Yu looked up at the huge statue, "Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts." She continued: "You want to use that The things hidden in the pipes do some things, but at least those things don't include solving me now."
She was calm and even almost cold, as if she didn't care about her own life at all: "Because I still have some value to you now. . You can also try to see if you can kill me."
Tom Riddle's illusory figure stood under the statue of Salazar Slytherin: "Salazar Slytherin, my ancestor." He. His voice was filled with sighs and memories: "I am his only descendant. But for a long time, I had to walk in front of others with a dirty surname. This is my shame. Shame can only be expressed with blood."
"We are very similar, Yu," he looked up at the Slytherin statue almost obsessively, "our families all have stains, and we all crave power. If you are willing to cooperate..." "
So you give yourself a new one . "Picked a name," Mu Yu ignored what he said about cooperation, "Flying Away from Death. But I don't see any difference between this name and Tom Riddle. The name is just a symbol, and it can only become a scary symbol." "
You can tell without looking at his expression that he is not that happy.
Mu Yu flicked the dust off his robe: "I want power just because I want it, not because of the shame of my bloodline." She hesitated for a while before saying, "Standing at a high enough place, the surname or Bloodline has no meaning."
"This secret room carries your ideals and your passion fifty years ago. Your ancestors will definitely be moved by you. But if you just want to remember history here, then sorry, the dinner is about to begin. "
When she was about to leave, Tom Riddle tried to grab her, but he still passed through her body: "Then why are you still hesitating? It's because of your family and that non-existent love."
Mu Yu ignored him.
After a brief loss of composure, he regained his composure, but he still could not hide his ferocity: "Your desire for power will only be crazier than mine. I actually... have some expectations."
The entire secret room echoed with a snake-like whisper.
Mu Yu spent some time getting dressed before Shanshan went to the auditorium. The night fell heavily. Countless candles were suspended from the ceiling, which was made transparent by magic. At this time, people were already arriving in the auditorium one after another by car. Mu Yu saw Daphne at a glance. Mu Yu walked over and sat next to Daphne.
"Yu," Daphne was particularly enthusiastic to Mu Yu, "I didn't see you on the train. They rumored that Gryffindor's Potter and Weasley drove to the school in a speed car. Half of the people on the train saw it.
Mu Yu responded to her enthusiasm gently: "Indeed, there was an accident at the station and the wall was blocked. I thought about sending a letter to Professor Dumbledore. They insisted on driving to the school. Maybe they thought it was very dangerous. " Cool." As soon as Mu Yu finished speaking, rows of freshmen were ushered in by Professor McGonagall. They had the same uneasiness and fear on their faces.
Daphne sneered: "Gryffindor behavior." Her attention was also attracted by the new students. She smiled warmly at one of the timid little girls: "That's my sister, Astoria."
Mu Yu followed her gaze and saw that the little girl was very introverted and blushed instantly. Mu Yu politely responded to Daphne: "Your sister is very cute."
Daphne's always arrogant look softened when she mentioned her sister. She said softly: "Astoria has always been cute. I also hope that she Keep on being so cute. "
The Sorting Hat has started sorting, and Astoria is the first one. Daphne stared at the Sorting Hat nervously. She even whispered softly: "Slytherin, must be Slytherin." Perhaps the Sorting Hat heard her voice. After a long silence, the Sorting Hat still shouted: "Slytherin." Lin!"
Astoria looked a little relieved. She trotted all the way and sat next to Daphne, calling in a low voice: "Sister."
Mu Yu was on the other side of Daphne, and Daphne deliberately introduced Mu Yu to Astoria: "Astoria, this is Yu. "
When Astoria came closer, Mu Yu realized that the girl was too thin. Her complexion was also abnormally gray, as if she was born with a deficiency.
Daphne wouldn't ask too much if she didn't tell.
She smiled gently at Astoria.
She thought her etiquette was correct, but Astoria hugged Daphne tighter, looking very scared.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment. Daphne just wanted to make things right again, but she was also a little at a loss at this time. She pushed Astoria gently: "Astoria, what's going on?" Astoria still hugged her sister tightly, not even willing to look up at Mu Yu.
Daphne could only say dryly to Mu Yu: "My sister has always been a bit naive. I'm really sorry."
Mu Yu calmly retracted the hand that he was about to extend. She just wanted to touch the little girl's head. No one noticed her subtle movements. Her expression was perfect: "Daphne, it's okay."
At this time, the little girl from the Weasley family had been sorted into Gryffindor.
Just as Ginny carefully jumped off the high stool and headed to the Gryffindor table, Mu Yu caught two figures in the corner of the auditorium, and they were quickly pulled away by Snape. After the sorting ceremony, Professor McGonagall also left in a hurry.
The long table was instantly filled with delicacies. After a day of hard work, Mu Yu was really hungry. She slowly picked up some food and ate it. She was cutting a mutton chop with a knife when Hermione tapped her on the shoulder. The people at the Slytherin table were clearly not welcoming to Hermione. Hermione resisted the dazzling gazes: "Yu, Harry and Ron..."
Mu Yu turned around to face Hermione: "Hermione, the wall was sealed for some reason when we arrived at the platform. We can't get through. Harry and Ron decided to drive to school, and I'm sorry that I couldn't stop them..."
Hermione stamped her feet and muttered that the two were worried. She hurriedly said to Mu Yu: "Yu, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself." She confirmed the information she wanted and quickly left the Slytherin table. Daphne touched her carefully: "Do you think Potter and Weasley will be expelled?"
Mu Yu continued to deal with the mutton chops while saying: "Expulsion will only be a warning at most."
Daphne smiled mysteriously. Shaking his head: "Yu, it seems that wizards in the East don't have to deliberately hide it from ordinary people. In your opinion, driving a speeding car may be nothing. But here, there is a wizard secrecy law. They drove a speeding car all the way to school so arrogantly and were definitely caught by more than one Muggle. I met you. This is very serious. The Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic needs to erase the memory of Muggles."
Mu Yu slowed down in cutting the mutton chops. She looked at the bustling auditorium and said, "Daphne, ascetics don't have to do it in ordinary times. Covering up in front of people was a thing of the last century. I even thought that the UK would be more relaxed, but I didn’t expect wizards to be stricter about keeping secrets from Muggles..."
Whether the clan is in power or the academy is in power, each side is unwilling to disclose the existence of another world.
How could they tolerate the supernatural code being controlled by more people?
In the past, Kunlun College still valued talent when recruiting students, but now power and money have gradually become the key to opening another door.
While Mu Yu was in a trance, Daphne poked her and said, "We'll see."
Maybe Slytherin and Gryffindor were born with each other. There was always talk about Harry and Ron on the long table. Malfoy even threatened that they would be expelled.
"My dad is the school director. He will put pressure on Dumbledore."
His triumphant look was very stupid.
