Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

People outside heard his voice, and a window was opened on their own.

Mikel looked up and saw that the window was actually in the ceiling.

A beam of light shone through the window, causing Mikel to close his eyes involuntarily, feeling a slight discomfort.

A strange voice came through, carrying a mechanical quality devoid of emotion.

“Mikel, a top student at Hogwarts, fell into a coma after leaving the restricted area. An initial examination was conducted during her coma, and no trace of evil god's incantations was found on her. She is currently under observation…”

After listening for a while, Mikel finally understood.

He needs to stay in this unfamiliar place for three to seven days to observe, during which time he must write down everything he has learned in the forbidden book area.

The purpose of writing it down is to allow schools to determine whether students have been corrupted by the ravings of evil gods during their studies by examining the content they learn.

This reason seems plausible.

But Mikel immediately realized that the school was collecting information about what students had found in the restricted book section.

He was initially somewhat dissatisfied.

But then he thought again that he wasn't the only outstanding student in the school.

All the other outstanding students went through the same process, including Lin Xia and Draco.

They wrote down everything they found in the restricted book section and handed it over to the school, so it didn't matter if he handed it over.

After all, he felt that the gains obtained by talented individuals like Lin Xia and Draco, even if not as valuable as the most valuable gains he had captured from the forbidden book section through the system, wouldn't be far behind.

Just as Mikel was pondering how to write down his findings, a blank sheet of paper and a quill pen suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

Mikel took a short break and immediately started writing again.

As he took action, the system in his mind was finally activated, popping up with a "ding".

[The host has obtained the greatest reward from the forbidden book area: Experience Points +10000]

Mikel paused as he wrote, leaving a heavy ink dot.

This sound is just a preview.

[The host stayed in the forbidden book area for seven days and gained the power of the evil god. Experience points +1000]

[The host lingered in the forbidden book area and sensed the power of two kinds of rules. Experience points +1000]

[The host lingered in the forbidden book section and obtained the second most valuable reward: 5000 experience points]

The sounds of "ding-dong, ding-dong" came all at once.

This reveals the extent of his gains in the restricted book section.

Even Mikel was surprised; just by entering a restricted book area, the system had given him so many experience points.

This not only replenished the experience points he had previously depleted, but also gave him a slight surplus compared to the last time.

In that instant, a thought suddenly arose in his mind—

The system can be upgraded!
He inherited the knowledge from the forbidden book section, especially the "Manual of the Use of Dark Magic," and now he can use the dark magic recorded in it.

Aside from the drawback of "insufficient magic power," his self-defense capabilities have improved, making him capable of protecting himself.

However, he has a strange item called the "magical cup" that can make up for his lack of magic power.

The urge to promote the system was incredibly strong, but now that he was in solitary confinement, there was nothing to bother him.

Mikel took a deep breath, his quill pen continuing to record his findings, silently reciting in his mind:

"Upgrade the system!"

On the other side, after Lin Xia finished her discussion with Draco, it was already curfew time.

They walked out of the private room in the common lounge, only to find it completely empty.

The common room and dormitory were connected, and the two parted ways. After walking for a while, Lin Xia found her golden wooden house.

It had only been a month since she last saw him, but she felt like he hadn't been back for a long time.

After the restrictions on the wooden house were lifted, Lin Xia stepped into the golden wooden house, and instantly felt a sense of ease.

It feels so good to be back in a familiar place!

Instead of going to the bedroom, she went to the training room to do what she had wanted to do in the magic forest.

Inside the lounge, the magical energy drawn in by a special magic rune array filled the space with an incredibly dense concentration.

Lin Xia only needed to circulate her cultivation technique slightly, and the demonic power surged towards her body, completely blocking her meridians.

A blush crept across her face, giving her the appearance of being drunk.

The magic emanating from the golden wooden house is rich and precise; in the past, it was often present in small quantities but of very high quality.

After a month of condensation, the magic power is of high quality and abundant quantity.

Although this magic could no longer promote the growth of her cultivation technique, Lin Xia's body still enjoyed the pure magic.

She stood there for a while, allowing her body to adapt to the magic, and then circulated the "Nine Heavens Profound Yang Secret Record" within her body.

Under the guidance of the exercise, she gradually analyzed her own body and unknowingly entered a state of "inner vision".

The technique understood the body better than Lin Xia, and soon Lin Xia found the convergence point of the technique's power.

Her body became more and more perfect under the transformation of the cultivation technique, the only variable being the newly formed right heart.

The power of this heart was entirely constructed from Slytherin's locket, providing her with another source of magic.

Lin Xia originally thought that this heart simply provided another source of magic power, but now it seems that it is not just that.

Once her heart was fully healed and synchronized with the heart on her right side, her physical condition experienced another leap forward.

Judging from her physical condition alone, she has already entered the realm of health preservation.

However, due to his lack of progress in cultivation techniques, he remains at the peak of the Profound Scripture Realm.

But in retrospect, “synchronized heartbeats” does not mean that the heart is fully healed. At that time, my body had not yet adapted to the force of two hearts beating at the same time.

When studying "elemental theory" in the Magic Forest, one must allow the body to gradually adapt, and then become completely adapted.

Once the body has fully adapted, the newly formed heart on the right side will be able to absorb magic power on its own.

Lin Xia stared at the heart, which was made entirely of crystalline energy, through her inner vision, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

This heart is colorful.

It seems to have more than just the function of providing energy.

Lin Xia pondered for a while, then, following her intuition, she made this heart beat independently and irregularly, instead of in sync with the heart on the right.

Let's try to change things by going against the grain.

At first, the beating was out of sync, and she felt a sudden discomfort in her body.

But because of her excellent physical condition, this discomfort was nothing to her.

After pulsating irregularly for about three minutes, Lin Xia suddenly noticed a change in the surrounding magic.

Another kind of magic, different from any other before, emerged.

"Wait, is this spatial magic?"

"Not just space, but also time-related magic?"

If she hadn't spent some time in the cabin Professor Babuling had given her, learning most of the "Complete Guide to Ancient Magic Arrays," she wouldn't be so familiar with these two magical attributes. Lin Xia didn't initially realize something was wrong.

As the magical power of these two attributes increased, a qualitative change occurred from a quantitative one, and her pupils constricted.

Right before her, an invisible spatial storm, where the magic of time and space were intertwined, slowly descended.

She sensed a destructive force within the storm.

Once this force expands, it can cause spatial distortion, and people and objects can be harmed by the force of space.

However, once the damage from this spatial storm is mitigated and the entire storm is penetrated, one can travel to another location.

Lin Xia stared intently at the miniature spatial storm before her, observing it with seriousness and focus.

The storm grew larger and larger under its own power, and continued to expand.

Until, amidst the unstable storm, they sensed a faint wisp of evil god's power emanating from the other side.

Lin Xia immediately stopped the beating of her right heart to prevent the spatial storm from expanding further.

Behind this spatial storm lies a place filled with the power of an evil god.

A thought flashed through Lin Xia's mind: Could it be that this connection leads to the world of the evil god?
Just as she sensed the power of the evil god, the seamless retractable ring on her hand began to tremble incessantly.

Lin Xia immediately took out the pinky finger bone that had been sealed in the box.

Although she didn't open the box, she could still feel the power of the pinky bone sealed inside. The pinky bone seemed very agitated and impatient.

It manipulated the box, jumping forward continuously, eager to jump out and into this spatial storm!

Lin Xia took a deep breath.

Through the changes in her pinky finger bone, she was able to confirm that the spatial storm she summoned was connected to the world of the evil god!
This newly formed seven-colored heart can not only serve as a backup energy source, but also summon the magic of time and space to twist and intertwine with each other, forming a spatial passage to the world of evil gods!

Lin Xia quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly synchronized the beating of the seven-colored heart with the heart on the right side.

Gradually, the spatial storm passage shrank and then disappeared before her eyes.

Lin Xia stared at the scene before her, her mind racing with thoughts.

First of all, this ability to connect to time tunnels is definitely not something that comes from cultivation techniques.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the power from the Slytherin locket.

She absorbed the power of the locket, forming a new energy source within her body.

At the same time, it also inherited the power of the locket, which can tear through space and create a passage to another world.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia thought of the scales of fate that she had left idle for a while.

The Slytherin locket was sacrificed by her and absorbed through the Scales of Fate.

Does the fact that her body has undergone such a change mean that the scales of fate have also gained the ability to cleave through time and space and open a time tunnel?

She stared intently at the scales of fate mark on her wrist.

Suddenly, she understood why the scales of fate had been tipped off and she hadn't been so obedient during this time.

It must be absorbing this power as well.

It's better not to use something that you can't control than to suffer the consequences.

She originally planned to deal with the scales of fate after graduation, but now it seems she might have to prepare in advance.

What Lin Xia didn't know was...

After the spacetime storm formed, Hogwarts immediately sensed the aura of the evil god's whispers leaking in from behind it.

It could detect the evil god's murmurs, but it couldn't pinpoint where the aura came from.

The spirit of Hogwarts was conveyed to every portrait, including the headmaster who was in charge of Hogwarts.

“An evil god has broken through the blockade and infiltrated Hogwarts.”

"It is impossible to know where it is; perhaps it is some kind of inanimate object."

“Its aura is weak; it is a newly born evil god. Its growth must be hindered.”

"Very weak, but with great potential, impossible to catch, impossible to catch..."

All people and things that can receive the consciousness of Hogwarts can feel the impatience emanating from that consciousness.

That night, all the picture frames at Hogwarts were restless, constantly moving from one to another, checking for any suspicious activity nearby.

Even Dumbledore, who had always stayed at the Ministry of Magic, appeared at Hogwarts because of this wisp of consciousness.

Dumbledore scanned the entire castle with his powerful magic, but the castle was too large, and many areas were so mysterious that they prevented his consciousness from entering.

He found nothing in the places he could reach.

Lin Xia was already lying in bed and slowly falling asleep at this time.
-
"what--"

A scream shattered the morning silence in the Gryffindor common room.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

The students stared in disbelief at the portrait before them. The plump woman had dark circles under her eyes, was unkempt, had messy hair, and looked listless.

She doesn't seem to have been injured, but her mental state is worrying.

The plump woman said weakly, "We searched all night last night, trying to find something, but we found nothing."

The student asked, "What are you looking for? Can I help you?"

The plump lady shook her head. "This is not something a little wizard should concern himself with."

The student's scream also attracted other students who were still in the common room.

The students all approached the plump lady, startled by her listless state, and began chattering questions.

How can I restore your vitality?

"How about I sing you a song?"

"Many hands make light work. Tell us what you're looking for, and we'll help you find it."

Unbeknownst to these students, not only was the fat lady listless, but the ghosts floating in the various colleges and the picture frames hanging in the colleges also looked unwell.

The plump lady was getting annoyed by the little wizard's enthusiasm and said irritably, "Alright, little wizard, this is none of your business."

"Don't ask me, I won't tell you. This is a disaster, and you absolutely don't want to know what happened."

We must eliminate this danger while it's still weak, or the entire Hogwarts will be destroyed!

The plump lady said in a loud voice, "Line up one by one and say the command!"

Lin Xia was unaware of the rumors circulating at the school about a "disaster".

Early in the morning, she came out of Hufflepuff's common room and, as usual, went for a run around the school playground.

Spring has arrived. The deep green vines on the castle's stone walls sprout tender red buds, and dewdrops drip down the wooden railings of the movable staircase, refracting into tiny spots of light in the morning glow.

Along the way, they passed a greenhouse. Lin Xia saw that the glass of the herbalism greenhouse was covered with a thin mist, and the mandrake seedlings were faintly visible in the mist, seemingly stretching their thick leaves in a ceramic pot.

Scattered pink and white blossoms bloom on the peach tree branches on the west side of the castle.

Lin Xia thought to herself that she could collect these flowers and weave them into a beautiful wreath. (End of Chapter)
