Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 112 Weird Doll
Lin Xia didn't really want to risk his life.

She knew her own strength and could not face the manipulated residents directly, so she decided to use [Praying Mantis] and [Puppet Spider].

Coming to the place last night, firstly, supplies are convenient, safety can be guaranteed, and secondly, we can fully explore the entire central circle.

The two arrived at the foothold and put out their respective investigative tools.

Draco hesitated and asked, "Will the person behind the scenes discover the shortcomings of the puppet spider and come to visit?"

Lin Xia shook his head, "I feel that it is not very intelligent. It just lets these residents repeat their past living habits."

If you are really smart, you won't have so many bugs when controlling residents.

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

The main reason why she wanted to investigate the central circle was to determine the vitality of this place.

Yesterday, while in the "looking for energy" state, Lin Xia saw the greatest vitality in the center circle.

Last night was a public investigation rather than a private investigation, and it was not easy for her to change [Mantis]'s investigation route.

Now, Lin Xia released the [Praying Mantis] and immediately jumped to the place where he saw the most life.

In addition to the largest vitality, there are also a few weak vitality in the central circle. Lin Xia told Draco the approximate location and asked him to release the [Puppet Spider] to look for it. There might be unexpected gains.

The two of them were doing half-heartedly and put the sights they discovered outside to study and observe together.

Lin Xia's [Praying Mantis] was still looking for a place, but Draco was lucky and found the upgrade location the first time he looked.

He found a [Magic Bomb].

This magic bomb was smaller than the one the dean gave them, and its power was average, but it was still a controlled product and could not be purchased through ordinary channels.

The vitality Lin Xia saw through "Wang Qi" was only a vague location and not specific, so he had to try his luck when looking for it.

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

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

There were many places where she didn't search carefully. If she searched in a carpet-like manner, it wouldn't be a problem to triple the items she obtained.

Draco was victorious and passionately controlled the [Puppet Spider] to move to the next destination.

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

The scene released outside is just a shared vision.

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

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a flash of vigilance. She did not immediately control the [Mantis] to fly in the direction of the sound, but controlled the [Puppet Spider].

Her magic power is so powerful that controlling two investigative tools is not a problem.

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

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

Lin Xia stared at the display screen for a while, kept pushing with the spider, and quickly confirmed.

"Someone turned on the radio. It probably wasn't connected to the radio station, but it kept playing songs."

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

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

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

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

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

There are two people dancing in the room, practicing a waltz!

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

Lin Xia: "If it was manipulated, it would not be surprising. For those behind the scenes, as long as there is music."

She had another unspoken observation. None of the residents she had seen before were so "intelligent" that they could turn on the music.

Either the person behind the scenes is stronger and can already choose people to control it more realistically.

Another possibility is that the person controlling these two people is not the one they originally thought, and there is another operator hidden in Windmill Town!
Lin Xia carefully observed the indoor facilities and suddenly felt something about the conspicuously placed dolls inside.

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

It was a female doll wearing a red coat and a red hat. She looked a bit like a little match girl.

Lin Xia stared at the doll for a long time, and suddenly found that the doll's hand moved. Originally, the doll's eyes had been looking at the dancers in the field.

But the next second, its eyes turned, as if about to move.

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

"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.

Draco was a little surprised: "You just go back and don't observe it anymore?"

Lin Xia quickly said: "I seem to have discovered something. Let's go first to avoid being tracked by the strange objects." After hearing this, Draco left a little faster than Lin Xia. As he walked, he used the wand to give himself a shot. "Invisibility spell".

Ten minutes after the two left, the residents on the other side of the street, as if they had received some kind of instruction, surrounded the residential area where the two had been staying.

Little did they know that all of this was being watched by a spider.

Everything went smoothly when we came out, but something unexpected happened on the way back and the speed was slowed down.

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

This is not quite like the previous control. It feels like the whole town is starting to "come alive".

The slightest movement will attract the attention of residents in the entire street.

The residents no longer live in isolation and just do their own thing, as if they are gathered together by some invisible force.

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

Not long after returning, the two people's [Puppet Spider] also came back. As for [Mantis], Lin Xia had put it away at the previous station.

Lin Xia checked the shooting records behind the spider and suddenly made a move.

Draco felt something strange in her expression, so he came over to take a look and was stunned.

"This is... that doll is actually alive. Is its eyes rolling? Is it looking at us? No, it's looking at a spider!"

A shudder arose in his heart, and the hair on 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 pulled up the video and fast-forwarded it all the way. She didn't stop until the spider stopped at their last resting place.

Time passed by, Spider was waiting, and so was Lin Xia.

Draco didn't know why, but he was waiting too!
Suddenly, the still picture changed. A person appeared, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

A group of people gathered around their place of residence. They seemed unable to open the door. They gathered outside the window, their eyes vying to look inside.

"hiss--"

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

"They came back alive." Lin Xia said solemnly, "Obviously, they were manipulated to go somewhere else and broke their previous behavior habits."

Draco said nervously: "The person behind the scenes should be the doll. No, the doll may be another kind of thing, and it is also controlled... In short, if we can trace our last foothold, can we trace the abandoned warehouse? "

Lin Xia scrolled back through the video again, observed it for a while, and shook his head: "No, the residents dispersed when they saw nothing. The spider followed us all the way, and 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 out. If it weren't for the limited magic power, he wanted to let out all the detection tools in the ring.

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

In previous investigations, they found nothing, and this time was no exception.

If there is anything else I discovered, it is that the residents of Windmill Town seem to be overly active today.

Draco looked at Lin Xia. She did not tell anyone what she had discovered today.

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

In this current environment, they don’t dare to start cooking randomly for fear of being affected.

Lin Xia took out the magic microwave oven, 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 took one for herself and handed one to Draco.

The other wizards stared at the rice balls in their hands, swallowing as they chewed.

"Oh shit!" Some wizards cursed in a low voice, suddenly feeling as if they were eating a ball of dog feces.

I was still very hungry, but the lunch in my hand didn't smell good at all.

Mia was speechless, "You two little wizards...you know a lot about life."

Lin Xia said calmly: "My parents like to travel and are away from home for most of the year. I always provide for three meals a day by myself."

Draco also said: "I can also cook a little. I am not used to eating outside food when traveling, so I make it myself. I made this frozen rice ball."

Rosen asked in a low voice: "Are you guys still there?"

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

"Wow, is that okay?"

"Of course, it's not a valuable thing!"

The wizards threw away what they were holding and waited for the rice balls to be heated in the microwave.

The little wizard who can cook is so awesome!

After eating, Lin Xia practiced as usual. Because there were outsiders around, she practiced at a shallow level.

From the outside, it just looks like she is resting with her eyes closed.

Soon, Lin Xia opened her eyes. When she entered the state of cultivation, she keenly noticed that the magic power of the town was rapidly passing away!
