I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 69: Wandering around day and night, calling souls

On Tuesday evening, Rhine and Harry set out from the Gryffindor common room, walked through the corridors, and headed towards Snape's office.

Compared to the original book where Harry hated Snape and regarded going to Snape's office as more serious than going to the battlefield, this time, Harry felt like he was going home.

He even had the mind to discuss with Rhine whether it was possible for Snape to teach him some unique little spells.

"You know, Rhine, Professor Snape is very kind to me."

Rhine felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

If you have the guts, take off your women's clothes first, and don't cry then.

Just as the two were talking, a pale ghost appeared at the end of the corridor.

Its mouth was wide open, and it was wearing a hat on its head. When it saw Rhine and Harry, it let out a shrill laugh and quickly approached by weaving between the walls.

"Little wizard!"

"There's a little wizard out at night!"

Harry's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no, it's Peeves!"

"This nasty guy will attract Filch!"

Rhine didn't react much, but instead looked at Peeves with interest.

The origin of this ghost seems to be unusual. It is said that it was born along with the castle when Hogwarts was founded.

No one can tell exactly what Peeves was like during his lifetime. All we know is that even the four founding fathers were very tolerant of his various pranks.

Another thing that interested Rhine was that unlike other ghosts who became increasingly numb after a long time, Peeves had not changed much after thousands of years, and was still like a naughty child thinking about pranks all day long.

But ghosts like Professor Binns are quite numb most of the time unless they are touched upon something that concerned them during their lifetime.

From this point of view, Peeves' origins seem to be quite unusual.

But soon, Rhine shifted his attention away from Peeves' origins.

His eyes fell on the system screen and he found that a new line of information had appeared on the screen.

[You are traveling at night and accidentally encounter ghost soldiers passing through. The one leading these ghost soldiers is none other than the Night Wandering God of the Underworld.]

[This god controls good and evil, life and death, apprehends evil spirits, and liberates wronged souls. His magical powers are extraordinary.]

【Making friends with them brings great benefits】

Rhine's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Rhine had not expected that ghosts could be judged by the system as existences from the ancient times.

If Peeves is considered to be the night-wandering god of the underworld, then Sir Nearly Headless Nick would most likely be judged to be the day-wandering god.

As for the Bloody Baron, whose status is obviously higher than Peeves, could he be the Judge or even Yama?

Yes, the ghosts in Harry Potter have no actual form and do have something in common with the ghosts and gods in the underworld. No wonder the system makes this judgment.

I don’t know what kind of talents this existence in the underworld can provide.

Rhine continued reading.

[Establish a casual friendship with the Night Wanderer to gain the gift of summoning spirits. The Night Wanderer is a deity that captures evil spirits and liberates spirits. He possesses the innate ability to communicate with spirits, instantly responding to any spirit. Although you are not a spirit, this gift allows you to temporarily awaken dormant spirits through the medium of a medium. (This consumes spiritual energy.)]

[Earn a close friendship with the Night Wanderer and gain the gift of Night Spirit. The Night Wanderer is protected by the darkness, and their magical powers will increase significantly during the night. Although you are not a spirit, this gift will allow you to increase your strength during the night.]

[Engage in a life-or-death friendship with the Night Wanderer to gain the gift of Soul Binding and Appointing Generals. The Night Wanderer is a high-ranking ghost in the underworld, capable of capturing souls and transforming them into ghost generals and ghost soldiers. Although you are not a ghost, with this gift, you can also awaken three ghost generals and twelve ghost soldiers. (This requires spiritual energy consumption.)]

After seeing the reward for making friends with Peeves, Rhine's eyes suddenly became hot.

Surprises really come when they are least expected.

The talent of Night Ghost is already quite useful to Rhine.

After all, if the Night Wanderer possessed the Night Devil, then the Day Wanderer should also possess the Day Devil talent. Possessing both simultaneously would be like Rhine receiving a round-the-clock blessing. However, what Rhine valued more were the abilities of summoning spirits and commanding generals.

Soul-related abilities are definitely a hot commodity in the Harry Potter world.

Bringing back souls is a power that only the Resurrection Stone in the Deathly Hallows can achieve.

The resurrection stone also comes with a huge side effect, which is that the returning soul still belongs to the world of the dead and is not a true return.

But the soul-binding points obtained from Peeves are different.

This is a talent from the Night Wandering God, who can lead souls directly into the underworld!

Resurrection stone?
It’s better to capture the soul and point out a hair!

As for calling back souls, if used on the right person, it would be enough for Rhine to reap huge rewards.

For example, temporarily awakening Lily's soul for Snape.

Or, on a grander scale, awaken the spirit of Dumbledore's sister, Ariana.

For this brief reunion, they would probably be willing to do anything, and their relationship should be able to reach its peak!
With this thought in mind, Rhine looked at Peeves as if he were looking at a gold mine.

This kind of look made Peeves feel inexplicably frightened.

At the same time, it felt a strong sense of oppression from Rhine.

To exaggerate a little, this feeling is like encountering a god, making people feel fear instinctively.

This feeling made the fearless Peeves go a little crazy, and he circled around the Rhine.

"Weird little wizard!"

"The way you look at Master Peeves makes Master Peeves really dislike it!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Master Peeves, or I'll make you pay!"

The noisy voice of Peeves reached Rhine's ears, causing a hint of darkness to flash across Rhine's eyes.

This ghost in front of him, whether from the performance in the original book or from Rhine's personal experience at the moment, is one of the most naughty children.

Don't talk about understanding and tolerance with naughty children, as that will only make them more arrogant.

To make them obedient, you have to scare them first.

In the original book, there are two beings that Peeves fears the most, one is the Bloody Baron and the other is Dumbledore.

The former is a ruthless guy who stabbed Ravenclaw's daughter to death. As for the latter, there is no need to say more. He is definitely capable of killing ghosts. He can probably drive Peeves out of the castle with just a thought.

In addition, when the Millennium Basilisk was released, Peeves was a little scared, because the gaze of the Millennium Basilisk has a very strong effect on ghosts.

This is actually quite obvious. This ghost is afraid of being truly harmed.

Once it knows it will really be beaten, it will behave itself.

Coincidentally, although Rhine had no means to deal with ghosts, his physique, which had attained the Vajra Body, could suppress external evil.

The existence of ghosts should also be within the scope of suppression.

The next moment, a very faint golden color appeared in Rhine's palm.

Immediately, looking at Peeves flying noisily in the air, Rhine suddenly jumped up, stretched out his right hand, and pressed down on Peeves.

At this moment, Peeves was frightened to the point of paleness, feeling a great fear looming in his heart.

"Murder!"

"There's a little wizard trying to murder ghosts!"

　There's another chapter I'll post later. It's so cold back home, it's really hard to write.
