Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 7 Abandoned Bathroom

Even with the map produced by the system, Rossi still spent a lot of time when facing the stairs in Hogwarts Castle that sometimes moved up and down, left and right, and sometimes disappeared completely.

"This broken staircase must be targeting me!" Rosie couldn't help complaining as she patted her shirt, which was stained by falling from the stairs that suddenly disappeared.

That's the bad thing about this game. It's obviously just a game, but clothes can still get stained and stained.

Fortunately, now that he was inside the castle, Rossi felt that the temperature was bearable and took off the cotton and linen clothes he had worn to keep out the cold.

She opened her inventory and took out a set of emerald green lace long-sleeved tops and knee-length skirts to put on. After thinking about it, she took out a black winter cloak with silver buttons and put it on.

After straightening the folds at the collar of her sleeves, Rossi quickly walked towards the bathroom with a closed wooden door at the end of the corridor.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door of the bathroom, which had been closed for an unknown period of time, was pushed open by Rossi.

Before she even walked inside, a musty smell of disrepair and the sour smell of sewer backwash reached her nose.

Rosie couldn't help but frown, and slapped her nose hard several times with her left hand. She suddenly regretted her decision to change her clothes just now.

After a while, when the smell in the bathroom was no longer so pungent, Rosie lightly covered her nose and walked in.

A dozen small cubicles are built closely against the wall, forming a circle in the bathroom. The empty space in the middle is a square wall that connects the upper and lower floors. Almost identical mirrors and wash basins are installed on all four sides of the wall.

tower.

But with a few careful glances, Rossi, who knew the mechanism in advance, easily found the snake-shaped faucet that served as the switch for the secret room.

When I reached out and turned on the faucet, slightly filthy water flowed out from the faucet, but after a while, the water became clear again.

Regardless of the gurgling water source, Rosie lowered her head and approached the faucet, casting a spell at the delicate snake eagle.

"The true form is revealed!"

"Original Appearance" is a spell used to check whether there is some information hidden on an object. It is similar to the detection skill, but it is much weaker than the explorer's advanced detection.

"Ding! A mysterious mechanism with unknown function has been found." The system prompt sounded at the right time.

"The effect is unclear. This is due to the lack of preconditions." Rossi naturally understood the reason why the system did not give a precise conclusion.

Turning off the faucet, Rossi turned around and walked towards the small cubicles with closed doors. He knocked heavily on the wooden door and asked loudly:

"Myrtle! Are you there?"

After Rosie's melodious voice floated in the empty room for a moment, a high-pitched voice came from behind her.

"You knocked on the wrong door, miss!"

Frightened, Rosie suddenly turned around and saw a ghost wearing thick glasses and long, straight hair embedded in the door of a cubicle with a closed wooden door. Most of her body was still hidden in the cubicle, full of ghosts.

He looked at Rosie with an unhappy face: "And you disturbed my nap!"

"Take a nap? Do ghosts need to sleep too?" After hearing Myrtle's words, Rosie found it very funny and asked the question casually.

"Ahhh! Who said ghosts can't sleep! Have you ever been a ghost?" As if she had been greatly harmed, Myrtle screamed with an exaggerated expression, and shouted in a sharp voice, "You guys are alive.

People will only bully me and laugh at me!"

As she spoke, Myrtle burst into tears, and the tears in her eyes flowed out like a fountain, and in the blink of an eye there was a large puddle at her feet.

"Uh, isn't this too much of a reaction?!" Rosie couldn't help complaining in her heart. She smiled at Myrtle and tried her best to make a friendly expression and said, "No, no, no, Myrtle, I didn't laugh at you.

What you mean is that I am just asking you for advice on this issue. You should understand that this is difficult knowledge for me."

Hearing what she said, Myrtle first looked at Rosie with inquiring eyes. Seeing her sincere expression, she slowly stopped crying and said:

"Okay, I'll believe you this time."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are not a staff or student of Hogwarts, are you?" Immediately afterwards, Myrtle's whole body floated out of the compartment, floated in a large circle around Rosie, and then again

Asked: "What do you want from me?"

"How much do you know about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Rossi asked tentatively.

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Myrtle's eyes flickered a few times, and she looked at Rossi with some surprise. "You actually asked me, a Ravenclaw ghost, about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? Isn't that right?

It’s really, it’s really…”

Myrtle exaggeratedly repeated a few sentences in a high-pitched voice, then paused suddenly, then looked at Rossi and said loudly: "It is said that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was built by Salazar, the founder of Slytherin.

Yes, it is rumored that he built the Chamber of Secrets in order to eliminate Muggle-born wizards in Hogwarts, but since Salazar left, no one has found the Chamber of Secrets, so many people regard it as just a legend."

At this point, Myrtle looked at Rosie carefully, and saw that the other party did not show the astonishment as she expected. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because she could not get satisfaction from it, and slowly leaned into Rosie's ear.

Bian whispered: "But I know that this is not just a legend. Moreover, as one of the founders of Hogwarts, Salazar is definitely not as evil as the legend says."

"Huh?" After hearing Myrtle's words, Rosie couldn't help but have a surprised expression on her face.

Rosie wouldn't be surprised at all if Myrtle didn't add the next sentence.

Whether in her long memory or in the mouth of the NPC in the game, Salazar Slytherin is a slightly evil person.

But why is Myrtle so sure that the other party is definitely not that evil?

"Why do you say that?" Rossi asked, confused, "How do you know?"

Hearing Rossi's questioning, Myrtle opened her mouth at first, and then her expression froze as if she thought of something. After a while, she said with a strong attitude: "Why do you care so much? I just know it anyway!"

"Don't you want to tell me? Is it the reason why I only clicked one level on the identity skill of 'Interrogation'?" Rossi, who could see from the other party's firm expression that he could not ask for more information, thought this and asked at the same time.

Another question: "Do you know what killed you in the first place and where it was?"

Hearing this, Myrtle looked ahead absentmindedly. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "I don't know what that is. I was feeling sad in the cubicle that day when I suddenly heard a boy's voice. I was about to go out and accuse

He walked into the women's bathroom and saw a silver light. When he woke up again, I had become a ghost!"

"I'm dead, I'm dead!" Myrtle's voice suddenly became sharp, and her whole body became restless. In the blink of an eye, she was floating and spinning in the bathroom more than ten times.

"Calm down, Myrtle!" Seeing that the wooden door of the compartment was shaking due to Myrtle's movements, Rosie, who was afraid that the door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, would fall due to this, hurriedly spoke out to stop the other party.

But it was as if Myrtle couldn't hear her voice, and she still ran around regardless. Her shrill voice became sharper and harsher, and even her tears burst out again, and soon they were soaked.

The whole ground was wet.
