Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 2 The balance of fate flips!
Lin Xia once again came to the bathroom with a flush toilet, which was where Myrtle died.

On the side of the copper faucet of a pool, there is a small snake carved on it, which is the entrance to the secret room.

She didn't know Parseltongue, but that didn't stop her from seeing someone opening a secret room in the Fate Compass and imitating that sound.

Lin Xia didn't know what had happened to her soul after coming to this world. After all, this ghost body shared two souls, which was very inconvenient to explore.

But judging from the fact that her soul can suppress Myrtle's soul, her soul talent is very unusual, and she may have some abilities that are different from ordinary people.

For example, Lin Xia didn't think she couldn't imitate Parseltongue. On the contrary, it should be quite easy.

"The ugly Myrtle, the annoying Myrtle, the Myrtle who just sits on the water tank and cries!"

The annoying Peeves discovered Lin Xia and came to pester him.

Another soul body in his mind started to scream again, and the feeling of wanting to break through the restraints reappeared, giving Lin Xia a little headache.

She said: "Peeves, apart from playing tricks on people, what else can you do? If you hadn't been annoying Myrtle all the time, she wouldn't have lived in such pain."

Peeves chuckled: "Myrtle lost her temper, but she can't do anything to us. Pranks make people happy, and seeing Myrtle cry makes us happier!"

Lin Xia calmed down her restless mood and said in a bewitching tone: "I found a fun place. Do you want to bully the giant snake?"

Peeves looked at each other, and a high-pitched voice said: "Snake?"

"Yes, it is a very stupid big snake with poor eyesight. It will hover in place and let you bully it. As long as you don't look directly into its eyes, you can beat it for a long time."

"Stupid snake? A snake that lets itself be bullied?"

There were loud, harsh, popping sounds like deflating balloons, and Peeves' evil black eyes flashed and he chuckled.

"Sounds fun. Peeves has never seen a giant snake, and they decided to bully the giant snake!"

Lin Xia said: "I'll give you an hour to prepare what you need. Remember not to take moldy peanuts. This will not harm the snake. This is a friendly reminder from a friend."

"Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring a rooster, a rooster that crows and is full of life. Big snakes are most afraid of roosters."

Peeves made a face at her and left the bathroom quickly. Myrtle looked down on them. They were going to prepare a big thing.

Watching Peeves leave, Lin Xia floated quietly on the water tank. This is where Myrtle likes to stay when she is in a daze, which helps to ease her mood.

In the past three days, Peeves often pestered her, and Lin Xia also figured out their temperament: they like to play pranks, throw peanuts at people, put wastebaskets on people's heads, pull off blankets from people's feet, throw Chalk head...

They like the new and hate the old, and will change their goals as long as there is something they are more interested in.

What Lin Xia didn't understand was that Peeves was not a ghost, but a psychological spirit, but he could still touch real objects.

What a magical world.

An hour later, Peeves caught three majestic roosters and stole them from some unlucky student's dormitory. He also brought many prank gadgets with him.

Under Lin Xia's reminder, they specially brought thick bricks, which were good things for a dozen people.

Lin Xia stared at the copper faucet engraved with a small snake, "Open it."

The sound that came out of her mouth was a strange hissing sound, like a snake crawling and talking.

Suddenly, the faucet flashed with a dazzling white light and spun rapidly, and the pool slowly began to move. Gradually, the pool disappeared, and a very thick water pipe appeared.

Peeves rushed in without hesitation, cheering and happy.

Lin Xia also floated in. This slide was very deep, and there were many branching pipes in it, but none of them were as thick as the pipe she was on. The slope was very steep all the way down.

After an unknown amount of time, the slide disappeared and they finally came to the end.

Peeves took out a matchbox and lit it.

There were dark, sticky walls in all directions, making it very dark and damp.

"It's so fun. This is the bottom of the Hogwarts lake. We are under the big black lake!" Peeves cheered.

Then, they saw the shed skin of the giant snake!
It was green and very bright, hollow inside, with snakeskin coiled around the ground, at least twenty feet long.

After walking a few steps forward, I saw a tall stone pillar with two intertwined snakes carved on it. There was a long and strange shadow on the bottom of the stone pillar.

After taking a few more steps, I saw clearly that the shadow was a sleeping snake!
Not far away, the huge Slytherin statue stared at them silently, as if it had been waiting for their arrival. Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat. She had already seen it once in Zhiming Compass, but seeing it in reality gave her an even more shocking feeling.

Before she could react, Peeves had already rushed out, charged bravely to play a prank, picked up the brick in his hand, and threw it at the basilisk!
"Hey, giant stupid guy, come hit me!"

Lin Xia's eyelids twitched slightly, this wave of hatred was overwhelming.

The basilisk woke up from its slumber and slowly coiled around the pillar, trying to get down.

But it was too big and too long, and its thick body seemed a bit clumsy.

The rooster on the ground seemed to feel great terror and began to crow uneasily.

"Ah-"

"Cuckoo-"

Lin Xia discovered that the huge, bright green basilisk actually made a trembling gesture.

The Creator is fair. The more powerful the creature, the more fatal flaws it has.

Who would have thought that a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years is only afraid of a rooster with no supernatural powers?
Lin Xia suddenly remembered the clip she saw in the Fate Compass. Before Myrtle died, the roosters in the college had died one after another.

Without natural enemies to restrain it, no wonder it dares to come out arrogantly.

"Haha, stupid basilisk, stupid basilisk!" Peeves was no longer satisfied with smashing bricks, he came close to the basilisk and dropped some kind of sticky slime.

That's slug mucus, it has a weird smell, and it's just disgusting.

Peeves dropped stink bombs, dung bombs, and a large amount of powder.

Big bubble powder is a special magic powder that can cause boils and blisters all over the body when used on humans.

Used on a giant snake, it cannot break the scale defense of the giant snake.

But the biological dung bomb was not ineffective. Lin Xia noticed that the giant snake opened its ferocious mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and two thick fork-like tongues poked out, trying to bite the mischievous Peeves.

But as soon as the tongue comes into contact with the odor particles outside, it immediately shrinks back.

In the confined space, the power of the bio-dung bomb increased exponentially. The basilisk's thick tail hit the pillar, trying to knock down the clinging Peeves without opening its mouth.

The weak eyesight prevented the basilisk from detecting that Peeves did not get close to the stone pillar at all, but just floated in the air.

Seeing that the basilisk was about to come down from the pillar, Lin Xia was not sure whether the ghost would completely disappear after seeing the basilisk, so she opened her mouth and said:
"Wrap around the pillar and don't move."

A weird hissing sound sounded, and Lin Xia used Parseltongue to order the basilisk not to come down.

This sentence was not seen from the Fate Compass. After Lin Xia spoke the first sentence of Parseltongue, she found that she had learned Parseltongue without any teacher.

The Basilisk froze and hissed, "Are you... a descendant of Salazar?"

Lin Xia didn't answer.

"Strange... Salazar... how come there are two descendants." The strange hissing words sounded again.

The rooster's fearful crow and Peeves's excited scream rang in the secret room for a full three hours!
The basilisk obeyed her order but did not resist. It was tortured by the crowing of the rooster, and its breath gradually became weak.

Lin Xia felt that it was almost done and called out another soul in her body.

"The real culprit who caused your death is right in front of you. Do you want to take revenge personally, even if you die as a result?"

"Myrtle, do you want to live as a ghost who is neither human nor ghost, indulge in the sorrow of death, and be tortured by Peeves day after day, or do you decide to go on a great adventure?"

She had seen many fragments in Fate Compass, and this sentence was her favorite.

"Death is just another great adventure."

Myrtle let out a violent scream, broke away from her body with deep hatred, and turned into a faint white light and rushed towards the basilisk.

At the moment when Peeves, Myrtle and the Basilisk were entangled, Lin Xia quickly retreated and decisively activated the balance of fate!
