Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Draco also heard the conversation between the two sisters and asked in a low voice: "What do you feel?"

Lin Xia did not comment: "Too vivid."

It doesn't look like being controlled at all.

Maybe because of this, Mia felt that these people were trapped in the old cycle, not being controlled.

Arriving at the station in the town, with the protection of the tall walls, everyone felt more relaxed.

Lin Xia asked: "Captain Mia, how long have you been stationed in the town?"

Mia said seriously: "We have only been stationed for a week. In the previous weeks, other teams were stationed and took turns to record information."

Lin Xia asked again: "You said that the residents of the town may be trapped in the old cycle of the past. How long have they been trapped?"

Mia: "One week. The residents of the town will repeat what they did last week after a week."

Lin Xia pondered. One week has a big impact.

Mia said a few more precautions and repeatedly reminded not to make the residents feel bored, otherwise the residents will suddenly hurt people, and the damage is very strong.

Several wizards have been injured by the residents because they asked too many questions and the residents could not answer them, and several of them died.

After the explanation, only Lin Xia and Draco were left in this place, and the other wizards ran out to do tasks. They also needed to collect some other information about the town.

After Draco left, his tense mind relaxed slightly, muttering: "They just left us and ran away like this, they don't worry about us getting into an accident here at all!"

Lin Xia took out the [Mantis], held it in her palm, and outlined the magic circle of mind-controlled transformation in her mind.

A few minutes later, the mantis flapped its wings, flew for a short time, and jumped out of the window.

The perspective of the mantis is different from that of a human, and everything around it is very tall.

However, since it is a model, it has a perspective adjustment function.

Lin Xia continuously reduced the perspective of the mantis, zoomed it to a normal angle that the human eye thinks is appropriate, and controlled the mantis to fly to the center circle.

It felt to her like a three-year-old child exploring the town.

Only then did she have time to answer Draco's question.

"After all, it is the safe zone they have explored, and the safety has been guaranteed. The previous teams are stationed here."

The place where they are is an abandoned warehouse in Windmill Town, and no one is seen all year round.

If the residents of the town are trapped in the old cycle, they will definitely not come to the warehouse, because in the past week, none of them have been to the abandoned warehouse.

Draco was not idle either, and released the [Spider Puppet] given to him by Professor McGonagall, and explored as much as possible.

The spider puppet comes with two devices, one is a spider, and the other is a small display screen that can see the spider's perspective.

Draco cast a spell on the display screen: "Quickly enlarge!"

The palm-sized display screen was enlarged to the size of a TV. The scenery observed by the spider can be seen on the display screen, and it has been adjusted in advance to the best viewing angle for humans.

As a mature magical creation, the defects of the [Spider Puppet] have all been improved. The only bad thing is that it cannot detect over a long distance and it is easy for people to find the location of the controller.

Lin Xia got inspiration from it, picked up the magic wand and waved it at her head, "Photography spell!"

The next second, a light screen popped up in the air, projecting the scene she observed through the [Mantis] in her mind to the outside.

The power of the magic world is so magical, and magic is almost omnipotent.

Compared to Draco's spider, the [Mantis] has a limited field of view, but fortunately it can fly far away to explore.

Without any complicated movements, Lin Xia can probably keep connected for 30 minutes, and the time for the [Mantis] to return must be counted within 30 minutes.

Otherwise, if the [Mantis] is lost outside, she may not be able to find it, and even if she looks for it, she may not be able to find it.

Although the [Mantis] model is larger than the average Mantis, it is only the size of a palm. If it is lost in the woods, it will be more difficult to find.

Both scenes were projected out, and the two observed together.

Suddenly, Lin Xia heard the voice of a wizard talking through the [Mantis], and she controlled the [Mantis] to jump over and just jumped onto the stall.

This is a small stall. The store manager is sitting in the store, silently looking at the goods.

The wizard in the team came to ask the price, pointing to an item and said: "How much is this?"

The store manager: "1 gold Galleon."

"What about this one?"

"5 silver Sickles."

"What about this one?"

"15 copper Knuts."

The wizard looked down at the note in his hand and asked: "If I pack up everything I ordered, how much is it in total?"

The store manager: "1 gold Galleon plus 5 silver... Silver Sickles plus 15 copper..." His voice became more and more intermittent as he went on, as if there was a malfunction.

The wizard found something and stared at him nervously.

The store manager: "A total of 1 gold... Galleon 5 silver..."

Suddenly, the store manager's expression became ferocious, and he suddenly attacked and hurt people!

The wizard quickly said: "Armor protection!"

"Bang!" The heavy muffled sound hit the invisible shield. Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how fierce this blow is. This is just a pure physical attack.

The wizard quickly left the stall. According to past experience, as long as he quickly got out of their sight, the residents would quickly return to calm.

He didn't notice that after he left, a small [Praying Mantis] also left.

[Praying Mantis] recorded a series of expressions of the stall owner from anger to calmness, chasing the wizard in the direction he left.

He had already gone around to another street and went to another shop to continue asking the same questions he had asked before.

It seems that the wizard's task is to ask the prices one by one and then check the residents' reaction ability.

The place where the wizard ran happened to be within the detection range of Draco [Spider Puppet].

Lin Xia said decisively: "Let your spider get close to this wizard. I have a hunch that we can find something from this wizard."

After watching the wizard ask the price four times in a row, Lin Xia and Draco also vaguely gained something. Lin Xia took the [Mantis] back first.

Draco took the lead and said: "Although they are very flexible in their expressions, their logical thinking is very rigid. One is one and two is two. Once they are asked to do complex calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, their expressions will become ferocious, and every one of them will That’s true, without exception.”

He pondered: "So I think it is unlikely that they are trapped in the old cycle. If they are really trapped in the old cycle, their logical thinking should still be there, so why can't they answer the question?"

Lin Xia nodded and said: "I think the captain and the others also discovered this problem, so they started to test it many times. I just have a worry."

Draco quickly asked: "What are you worried about?"

Lin Xia's eyes were deep: "What if the residents are not trapped in the old days, but are controlled by people or things, allowing the residents to repeat their lives according to their habits before death.

If there hadn't been a flaw in the radio station and the residents' logical thinking was too weak, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't have discovered the anomaly in the town so quickly.

Now that the Ministry of Magic is stationed in the area to investigate and frequently test the bottom line of the residents' rampage, I am worried that I will offend the manipulator behind the scenes. "

Draco: "You mean, the residents of the town will change?"

Lin Xia shook his head: "I can't say for sure, I just have a guess in this regard."

As she spoke, she ran the "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Secret Record·The Furnace" over and over again, quickly recovering her magic and spiritual power.

At this time, Draco's [Spider Puppet] made a new discovery.

Specifically, it was the wizard that the spider was following who discovered something.

He walked around another street and went to a brand new store. Just when he was about to ask the store for the price, he suddenly met two female residents who came to buy things.

Draco was startled, "Aren't these the two young ladies we saw when we entered the town?"

Hearing this, Lin Xia looked up and said, "Yes, they also changed their clothes."

The wizard may have been attracted by the beautiful young girl, and had an idea. Instead of talking to the store owner, he talked to the two girls.

"Hello, what are your names?" the wizard asked very talkatively.

The two girls were stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, and their crisp voices became choppy and hesitant.

"My name is... Beta."

"My name is...Mary."

Wizard: "Are you all residents of this small town? I just came here for vacation. Can you tell me what fun places there are in Windmill Town?"

Beta's voice changed from crisp to mechanical: "There are many interesting places in Windmill Town. There are, there are, there are wind... cars."

Mary repeated the same answer, and the two of them looked at the wizard with increasingly weird expressions.

The wizard subconsciously felt bad and quickly used "armor protection" on himself!

Three attacks fell on the wizard at the same time. This time there was not only an attack from the witch, but also an attack from the store owner.

The shopkeeper just overheard their conversation and showed strong hostility towards the wizard.

All three of them were purely physical attacks. "Armor Protection" avoided the first attack, but failed to avoid the second and third attacks. The wizard was immediately beaten and fell to the ground.

He raised his wand and gave himself another shot of "Armor Protection" with difficulty.

At this time, the wizard showed excellent fighting skills. Even though he was injured and dizzy, the "armor protection" superimposed on his body this time was obviously very strong and could at least withstand the next seven or eight physical attacks.

But because they were surrounded by these people, the wizard's situation became very dangerous.

Because it was not only those three people who were attacking, Lin Xia and Draco discovered through the [Spider Puppet] that all the residents on this street were swarming towards the wizard.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

No one in the town used magic spells to beat the wizard to death.

Because they were surrounded by many residents, Lin Xia and Draco did not see the scene of the wizard's death, but they heard the wizard's curses change from anger to calm.

Draco immediately felt a physical nausea and walked to a place to vomit.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, she was okay.

Draco used "clean up" to get rid of his own filth, and stayed in one place in silence for a long time before returning.

Lin Xia's voice sounded: "If I were you, I would not continue to watch the puppet spider. I would control the spider to return. I have recorded all the scenes."
