Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Lin Xia didn't really want to take the risk.

She knew her own strength and couldn't face the controlled residents directly, so she decided to use [Mantis] and [Puppet Spider].

Coming to the place last night, on the one hand, it was convenient to supply and safety could be guaranteed, and on the other hand, it could fully explore the entire central circle.

The two came to the foothold and put out their respective reconnaissance tools.

Draco hesitated and asked: "Will the controller behind the scenes find the disadvantages of the puppet spider and come to the door?"

Lin Xia shook her head, "I feel that its wisdom is not very sufficient, just let these residents repeat their past living habits."

If it is really intelligent, there will not be so many bugs when controlling the residents.

Moreover, [Puppet Spider] is a magical creation. Judging from the fact that these residents only use physical attacks, the controller behind the scenes should not be good at magic.

The reason why she wants to investigate the central circle is mainly to determine the vitality of this place.

Yesterday, in the "looking for qi" state, the greatest vitality Lin Xia saw was in the central circle.

Last night was a public exploration, not a private one, so she couldn't change the reconnaissance route of the Mantis.

Now, Lin Xia released the Mantis and immediately jumped to the place with the most vitality.

In addition to the largest vitality in the center circle, there are several weak vitality. Lin Xia told Draco the approximate location and asked him to release the Puppet Spider to find it. Maybe there would be unexpected gains.

The two of them were distracted and put the scene they had explored outside to study and observe together.

Lin Xia's Mantis was still looking for a place, while Draco had good luck and found the upgrade location on the first search.

He found a Magic Bomb.

This magic bomb was smaller than the one given to them by the dean, and its power was average, but it was a controlled item after all, and it couldn't be bought through ordinary channels.

The vitality that Lin Xia saw through "looking at the qi" was just a vague location, not specific, so she needed to try her luck when looking for it.

The walking route of the two was carefully planned by Lin Xia. Along the way, they passed by many places with vitality.

Draco felt that the harvest was great, but Lin Xia, who knew the inside story, felt that it was just average.

There were many places that she had not searched carefully. If she had done a carpet search, it would not be a problem to triple the items she had obtained.

Draco had won the first battle and passionately controlled the [Puppet Spider] to the next destination.

Suddenly, Lin Xia heard some subtle sounds through the [Mantis].

The scene that was projected out only shared vision.

As for hearing, Lin Xia felt it alone in her mind.

Her eyes were slightly condensed, and a trace of vigilance flashed across her. She did not immediately control the [Mantis] to fly in the direction of the sound, but instead controlled the [Puppet Spider].

She had strong magic power, so it was not a problem to control two reconnaissance tools.

The [Puppet Spider] quickly moved in the direction of the Mantis, and the spider's display screen was projected together with the sound.

After a while, even Draco noticed something and asked, "Is there any sound coming?"

Lin Xia stared at the display screen for a while, and kept pushing the spider forward, and soon confirmed it.

"Someone turned on the radio. It should be unconnected to the radio station, but it has been playing songs."

Coincidentally, she was very familiar with this music. It was the rock music of Weird Sisters that the dean liked very much.

Draco was surprised and doubtful: "You mean, there are living people?"

Lin Xia: "Maybe, maybe not, not necessarily."

The spider stopped on the glass window on the third floor of a residential building, and the sound came from this room.

Through the eyes and hearing of the spider, they not only heard the music, but also saw the figure in the window.

There were two people dancing in the room, practicing waltz!

Draco was stunned: "Practicing waltz with rock music, what the hell is this?"

Lin Xia: "If it is controlled, it is not surprising. For the people behind the scenes, as long as there is music, it will be fine."

She had another observation that she didn't say out loud. None of the residents she had seen before were so "smart" that they could turn on the music.

Either the person behind the scenes has become more powerful and can already choose some people to control more realistically.

Another possibility is that the person controlling these two people is not the one they originally thought. There is another person hiding in Windmill Town!

Lin Xia carefully observed the facilities in the room, and suddenly felt something about the doll that was placed very conspicuously inside.

The scale of fate on her wrist was boiling hot, and a strong desire surged in her body.

It was a female doll wearing a red dress and a red hat, and her image was a bit like a little match girl.

Lin Xia stared at the doll for a while, and suddenly found that the doll's hand moved. The doll's eyes had been looking at the people dancing in the field.

But the next second, its eyeballs turned, as if it was about to move.

Lin Xia immediately controlled the doll to leave the window and cut off the spider's visual sharing.

"Let's go, let's go back to the warehouse first!"

She quickly put away the things on the ground and cast an invisibility spell on herself, not intending to wait for the [Puppet Spider] to come back before leaving.

Let the spider follow them behind.

Draco was a little surprised: "Just go back like this, don't you want to observe it again?"

Lin Xia quickly said: "I seem to have discovered something, let's go first, so as not to be tracked by the strange object."

Hearing this, Draco left a few points faster than Lin Xia, and cast an "invisibility spell" on himself with his wand while walking.

Ten minutes after the two left, the residents on the other side of the street, as if they had received some instructions, surrounded the residential area where the two had stayed before.

They didn't know that all this was seen by a spider.

Everything went smoothly on the way out, but there was a little accident on the way back, and the speed was slowed down.

They found that there were more residents on the street and they were more active than usual.

This didn't seem to be controlled before, and it felt like the whole town was starting to "come alive".

The slightest movement would attract the attention of the residents of the entire street.

The residents were no longer independent and only did their own things, as if they were gathered by some invisible force.

After realizing this, Lin Xia and Draco were more cautious on their return journey, and it took twice as long to go back as it did when they came out.

Shortly after returning, the two's [Puppet Spider] also returned, and as for the [Mantis], it was collected by Lin Xia at the previous station.

Lin Xia checked the shooting records behind the spider and suddenly stopped.

Draco felt that her expression was different, and he came over to take a look and was stunned.

"This is... that doll is alive. Its eyes are moving, right? Is it looking at us? No, it's looking at the spider!"

He felt a chill in his heart, and his hair stood on end.

Although there was a spider between them, he always felt that the doll was looking at them through the spider.

Lin Xia quickly played the video, fast forwarding all the way until the spider stopped at their last stop.

Time passed by minute by minute, the spider was waiting, and Lin Xia was waiting too.

Draco didn't understand, but he was waiting too!

Suddenly, the still picture changed, and a person appeared, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

A group of people gathered around their stop. They didn't seem to be able to open the door. They gathered outside the window together, and their eyes rushed to look inside.

"Hiss——"

Draco took a breath, "He, they..."

"They are alive." Lin Xia said in a deep voice, "Obviously, they were manipulated to go somewhere else, breaking their previous behavior habits."

Draco said nervously: "The person behind the scenes should be the doll, no, the doll may be another thing, also manipulated... Anyway, if we can trace our last stop, can we trace the abandoned warehouse?"

Lin Xia flipped the video again, observed for a while, and shook her head: "No, the residents dispersed when they saw nothing, and the spider followed us all the way, but no residents were found following us."

She added: "If you are worried, you can send [Puppet Spider] out to observe."

Draco immediately let the spider go. If it weren't for the limited magic power, he wanted to let go of all the reconnaissance tools in the ring.

After waiting for more than an hour, it was noon, and Mia and other wizards returned to the team one after another.

They found nothing in the previous investigation, and this time was no exception.

If there is any other discovery, it is that the residents of Windmill Town seem to be overly active today.

Draco looked at Lin Xia, who had not told anyone about her discovery today.

The group ate their cold lunch hastily, which was all fast food prepared in advance.

In this environment, they did not dare to light a fire and cook, fearing that they would be affected.

Lin Xia took out the magic microwave, took out the luxurious black glutinous rice, chicken legs and cucumber rice balls that had been prepared in advance, put them in the microwave for a while, and then rolled them with seaweed.

She ate one herself and handed one to Draco.

The other wizards stared at the rice balls in their hands and swallowed them down their throats as they chewed.

"Oh shit!" Some wizards cursed in a low voice, and suddenly felt like they were eating a ball of dog shit.

They were still very hungry, but the lunch in their hands was not fragrant at all.

Mia was speechless, "You two little wizards... you know how to live."

Lin Xia said frankly: "My parents like to travel, and they are not at home for most of the year. I solve my three meals a day by myself."

Draco also said: "I can cook a little. I can't get used to eating outside food when I travel, so I make it myself. This frozen rice ball is made by me."

Rosen asked in a low voice: "Do you have more?"

Draco said very straightforwardly: "Yes, I made more than ten, do you want them?"

"Wow, is it okay?"

"Of course, this is not a valuable thing!"

The wizards threw away the things in their hands and waited for the rice balls to be heated in the microwave.

The little wizard who can cook is really amazing!

After eating, Lin Xia practiced as usual. Because there were outsiders, she practiced shallowly.

From the outside, it only seemed that she closed her eyes to rest.

Soon, Lin Xia opened her eyes. When she entered the state of practice, she keenly discovered that the magic power of the town was rapidly fading!
