Chapter 262: In the Bathroom

The girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle has been in a semi-abandoned state, due to an unfortunate attack forty-nine years ago that caused a girl to leave this beautiful and vivid world for good.

That's myrtle.

And after she turned into a ghost and returned to this world, she has been living here, living in the place where she died.

The bathroom was probably the darkest, dreary, and run-down place William had ever seen at Hogwarts, not even the abandoned classrooms, or the rubbish heaps of the Room of Requirement.

As he stepped into the bathroom, the first thing that caught his eye was a large, stained mirror that looked like an antique with a long history, and a broken frame that should have been carved in fine relief.

But now, even the patent leather has peeled off, and in some places there are very obvious scratches. The mirror was clearly no longer in use, as a long, narrow crack split it from top to bottom.

Underneath the mirror, there is a row of peeling stone pools, topped by copper faucets.

If memory serves, one of these faucets does not produce water, and there is a faucet with the mark of a small silver snake on it, and that is the entrance to the secret room.

William lowered his head, the floor was wet and full of water stains, and not far away, several candle heads burned low on the bracket, reflecting a dim light on the floor,

On the other side of the bathroom, there were cubicles, and half-concealed one-way wooden doors, the paint on which had peeled, and one door, whose hinges were broken, hung there wakily and creaking.

This makes the washroom look like something out of one of those old-fashioned horror movies.

"Are you there, Myrtle? As promised, I came on time. William spoke towards the empty bathroom, his voice echoing through the interior of the bathroom, creating a strange echo that sounded eerie with an eerie, oppressive atmosphere.

"Is that you, William?"

In the innermost compartment came Myrtle's voice, a melancholy and empty voice with a rare hint of joy, and then Myrtle passed through the closed wooden door of the compartment and came to William.

"You're really here, I thought what you said last time was just something to make me happy. I thought you would be like everyone else. ”

It was rare that Myrtle did not cry, but spoke to William in a cheerful tone. But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by impatient William.

"There's no need for me to lie to you, Myrtle. Cheating on your feelings won't make me happy, what I'm saying is true, I don't have the time to do such a boring prank. ”

Hearing William's words, Myrtle finally quieted down, although William's words were not polite, but compared to the words that those Myrtles usually heard, William's these are obviously nothing/

"I can help you, Myrtle. I can change those pimples on your face, and that thick glasses. However, my help is not gratuitous, and you need to do something for me to be fair. William said solemnly to Myrtle.

He still used the old method, making empty promises to this very good ghost, and most ghosts will become innocent after death due to the lack of souls.

Most of them return to the world of the living because they are obsessed or cowardly, but death is not as merciful as you think, and after becoming ghosts, their minds will become simpler, probably because death has taken most of their souls, leaving only the strongest emotions that are difficult to take away.

In other words, they are good at fooling.

"What do you want me to do?" Hearing William's words, Myrtle asked in disbelief.

After a brief moment of surprise, Myrtle immediately reverted to her grief-stricken appearance, not believing William's words.

"I'm already a ghost, who has died humbly, and is still being teased after death, what else can help you?"

"Of course you can help me." Hearing Myrtle's uncertain answer, William spoke very sincerely.

Because no matter what ghost it is, as long as you live in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, then you can help me. After saying this, William silently added in his heart.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Myrtle, that voice can be heard by William with shyness.

It seems that this may be the first time she has been asked for in so many years of death, just like baby-5 in One Piece.

If I'm not mistaken, Myrtle seems to be an old pervert, and she has peeked at Harry taking a shower, William thought to himself.

He looked at the myrtle in front of him and decided to ask her how much she knew about the secret room.

"First of all, before I'm sure you can help me with anything, you need to tell me what you know about the Chamber of Secrets." William asked straight to the point, she felt that since myrtle.

However, what William didn't expect was that Myrtle's face showed a puzzled look when she heard William's words.

"The secret room, what is that, a secret room?" Myrtle asked William with some confusion.

Didn't she even know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?!

So what have you been doing all these years! The entrance to the secret room is just below the bathroom, and you didn't even notice it?

William thought a little speechless.

"So, where did you go on Halloween night, after we finished chatting?"

"I~~ I don't want to say it." Hearing this, Myrtle suddenly choked up.

"I was in a good mood after you left, until, until I ran into Peeves, that damn nightmare, on the way back here." At this, Myrtle began to cry.

"It shoved me down a toilet bowl and flushed me into the black lake. Really, why did it treat me like this, and the people who laughed at me, why couldn't they let me go, I'm all dead! Why be teased and ridiculed by them! ”

Myrtle angrily flushes the toilet in the cubicle and gets water all over the place, which makes her look a little hysterical.

"And then, I ran all the way crying all the way here, I wanted to kill myself, but after I came back, I suddenly sounded, I was dead."

"Okay, no offense intended, but, I'm asking one last question, I want to know what happened on the day you died."
