Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 108: Trapped in the Windmill Town of the Old Loop
"You should be the newcomers to this mission." Several more flying broomsticks fell from the sky. Lin Xia looked over and saw that the faces of those people had some vicissitudes of life, and they did not look like students who had come out of the academy.

Lin Xia nodded to Draco and took the initiative to introduce her name.

Rosen, the leader, turned to Cedric and asked, "It seems like you guys know each other?"

Cedric nodded: "They are my juniors from the same college."

"Same school?" Rosen was a little surprised, "I remember you are from Hufflepuff, so these two are also from Hufflepuff?"

"Wow!" Without waiting for Cedric to answer, the others said happily: "Hufflepuff is so successful. At such a young age, he actually got the top student badge and came to do the task!"

Rosen suddenly thought of something, and his pupils opened slightly: "Wait a minute, you two little wizards look so young, and Hogwarts recently had outstanding first-year students, and two of them appeared in a row, shouldn't you? Could it be those two top students?"

Lin Xia said: "If you are referring to the first grade, that should be us."

The other wizards were also confused.

"The top student in first grade? The one who invented the magnetic wand?"

"New and improved scabies potion?"

"And what kind of youth facial soap is there?"

“Damn it, it’s you two???”

A wizard immediately quit: "No, I want to protest. How can Hogwarts send such excellent research talents to do dangerous tasks?"

Another broomstick fell from the sky. She had a mature face and bright red hair, like a dazzling fire.

She was quite dignified in this group of people, and when she came, everyone fell silent.

She first glanced at all the wizards, and then focused on the two young wizards, Lin Xia and Draco.

She nodded to them: "Hello, I am the captain of the team this time. My name is Mia Ewing. You can call me Mia."

She pointed to the person who was leading the team before: "This is the vice-captain of the team, Rosen. If you can't find me, you can communicate with him."

Mia didn't know what she thought of, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I also studied in Hufflepuff College before."

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other and probably reacted.

This person must be an "acquaintance" that the professor secretly arranged for them.

"Captain, these two little wizards are too young, and they are still fighting talents. Otherwise, we will still..."

Mia interrupted: "Don't underestimate them. This time they not only have to complete the task of guiding newcomers, but also secretly conduct an assessment of combat talents. If Hogwarts is not sure about them, it is impossible to allow them to participate in combat assessments." .”

As soon as she said this, no one in the team spoke.

It seems that in this team, Mia's majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After making sure that everyone was present, Mia said resolutely: "Let's go, let's set up camp outside the town for observation."

Several dark tents have been erected outside the gate of the town.

Opening the tent and walking in, the room felt as warm as spring, with flames floating in the air, exuding warmth.

Only then did Mia tell them about the requirements of this mission.

"This town is called Windmill Town. An abnormality was discovered a month ago. People in the town submit articles to WWN (Wizard Wireless Network) every day, asking them to broadcast the daily weather forecast on their exclusive channel, but WWN has not adopted it.

This anomaly was discovered by WWN staff. People who first started broadcasting thought that the town had finally given up on weather forecasting, but some employees felt that something was not right. After all, Windmill Town was obviously very persistent about this. "

Rosen also walked in and took over the conversation: "An internal employee checked the listening situation of Windmill Town and found that they had not received any signal from Windmill Town for a while.

Before that, thousands of receiving signals were received in Windmill Town every day. The staff realized something was wrong and reported it to the Ministry of Magic. After that, some strange things happened in Windmill Town. "

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Something strange?"

"Well, obviously the calls of relatives and friends living in Windmill Town can be answered, but they only answer the phone on Tuesdays and not at other times."

Draco asked curiously: "Do you know the reason for this?"

Mia nodded: "It has been investigated, because every Tuesday is the day when relatives and that family have regular phone calls, and they talk about home affairs.

After we discovered the anomaly in Windmill Town, we called on people who were working outside to make phone calls to see if we could find out anything. As a result, everyone in Windmill Town only answered the phone on the fixed days that had been previously arranged. "

Lin Xia pondered for a while and then asked: "Are there any other abnormalities?"

"Yes, there are many." Mia looked serious. "You can observe through the telescope that people in Windmill Town go out to work every day and produce something. They can even send people out to do business with other towns."

"But," she changed her words, "They only talked about what they should talk about, topics they didn't usually talk about, and they didn't answer any of them. It was like they were stuck in a past loop."

"The mission of the two young wizards is to conduct reconnaissance missions. If they find anything unusual in the town, they will tell us immediately."

Mia arranged for Lin Xia and Draco, and then turned to discuss with other team members what methods to adopt after entering the town.

Neither Lin Xia nor Draco felt ignored.

Both of them are too weak, and it would be weird to discuss with them what method to use.

Lin Xia walked out of the tent and looked at the town with many huge windmills not far away, with thoughts flashing in her eyes.

Being stuck in an old cycle is just Mia's guess, which may not necessarily be accurate.

After hearing what Mia said, Lin Xia had another guess. Various phenomena indicate that people in the town are living according to their past behavioral habits. Is this another kind of manipulation?
Controlling humans does not necessarily mean asking humans to accomplish something.

It is also a kind of manipulation to let human beings live according to the rules without being noticed by others.

And this kind of manipulation often means letting someone else's "not abnormal" cover up another "abnormality".

If it is really related to control, then there is an obvious problem——

That is the person behind the control of these people, who simply cannot understand the living habits of wizards.

Otherwise, it would not have made so many mistakes: the phone rang but did not answer the call, turned on the radio but did not adjust the radio channel, only talked about past topics without answering brand-new questions...

While thinking about it, the balance of fate in Lin Xia's mind suddenly turned slightly and stopped at the "Wang Qi" column that had never appeared before.

A different scene suddenly appeared in her eyes. The sky in the town turned gray, which was in sharp contrast with the bright colors around her.

In the small town, there are also all kinds of darkness and bad luck, which can be regarded as the energy of death.

In some places, the death energy is not that strong, and in other places, the death energy is as thick as a piece of black ink.

Lin Xia immediately walked to the top and took out the Nimbus 2000 given by Draco from the ring.

Mia noticed her behavior, frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Xia said: "I know how to practice Eastern Feng Shui and plan to fly to a high place to take a closer look at the topography of Windmill Town."

Mia nodded quickly and said: "Then go ahead, pay attention to safety, and remember not to fly above Windmill Town. The wizards inside will react violently."

"understood."

Taking advantage of the fact that the ability to "gain energy" had not disappeared, Lin Xia flew directly to the hilltop where he had been before, which was a good observation point.

Nimbus 2000 is very fast. At full speed, it reaches its destination in a few seconds.

Lin Xia carefully observed Windmill Town.

Although the dead air is unevenly distributed, it can still be seen that the concentration is increasing sequentially.

The dead air is the lightest on the outskirts of the town, and the concentration becomes higher the further in.

But the central circle of the town is not located in the center, but to the right.

It was surrounded by a mass of dark ink, but there was a small white shop inside.

This white color is the most conspicuous and is obviously where the vitality lies. In addition, various white spots are also scattered in some parts of the town, and the colors also vary from light to heavy.

After a while, "Wang Qi" disappeared. Lin Xia recalled it all and memorized all the scenes he saw.

She controlled the broomstick and returned to the tent.

Mia immediately asked: "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Lin Xia made nonsense: "It's true."

This opening surprised the other wizards.

Isn't it possible, is the Eastern Feng Shui technique really so magical?

Lin Xia said: "I just made a little discovery. I saw a place with outstanding people and beautiful people. Generally speaking, that place has good feng shui and a large floating population. It can be used for business or housing. .”

Mia looked at Rosen: "Where's our map? Come and get it!"

Rosen quickly took out the map as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Lin Xia pointed to the area with strong vitality.

Mia suddenly realized: "So it's this place, so you're right. This is the central and bustling area of ​​Windmill Town, with the largest flow of people."

She asked with burning eyes: "Besides, what else did you see?"

Lin Xia shook his head. Anger and death were hard to explain to others, and they couldn't be proven. He could only find opportunities to make them pay attention to this place.

Mia arranged the task and emphasized to Lin Xia and Draco again: "The main purpose of your going in this time is to investigate and tell what you think is wrong. Don't move without our permission.

Including your deformed objects, you must move according to the territory we have drawn, and don't wander around casually. This town is dangerous even if it is said to be dangerous, and it is not dangerous even if it is not dangerous. The premise is that you don't offend the wizards inside. "

Lin Xia nodded to Draco and repeatedly expressed that she understood.

The group entered the town.

Windmill Town is neither big nor small, with a population of thousands. Most of them work in office buildings, but there are also people who go shopping during the day.

Lin Xia and Draco put on the clothes Mia had prepared for them in advance and blended in with the local residents.

Two young and beautiful sisters walked to the street arm in arm and passed by Lin Xia. They were chatting with hearty smiles.

"The clothes I just looked at look great, don't you want to buy them?"

"Don't buy it yet, I haven't saved enough money yet!"
