Chapter 116 Post-Investigation

"Name?"

"Lin Xia."

"Gender?"

"Female."

"School class?"

"First-year student at Hogwarts."

...

Professor Barbie treated the three people impartially, first investigating their identity information, then separating the three and questioning them one by one.

Lin Xia didn't know if other wizards were interrogated in the same way, but at least for her, it felt quite easy.

Barbie didn't ask her repeatedly, and many questions were answered in one go.

Only when she asked about the red-dressed doll would she ask more details.

Barbie asked: "Have you seen the red-dressed doll before?"

Lin Xia: "Yes."

Barbie: "Why didn't you say before that you felt it was very abnormal?"

Lin Xia: "There is no evidence, it looks normal, that's just my feeling."

[Puppet Spider] filmed the scene of the red-dressed doll turning its eyes, and it was deleted by Lin Xia after it was broadcast that day.

Professor Barbie thought she noticed it when she followed the large group to explore the central circle, but in fact she and Draco sneaked out and noticed it.

Because it was difficult to explain her whereabouts, Lin Xia had the foresight to delete them all.

The automatic feather pen beside Babuling wrote quickly, and continued to ask the next question: "How did you get to that residential building?"

Lin Xia: "I buried a few magic bombs to weaken the outer protection force, and then went to that residential building. No one stopped me during the period."

Babuling raised her eyebrows: "There are many residents hiding in that residential building. How did you get to the third floor?"

Lin Xia: "There is no one on the first floor. We went directly to the third floor by elevator."

Professor Babuling nodded slightly, and the other two said the same thing.

Her expression became serious: "How did you get to that room through the heavy siege?"

Lin Xia: "Compete in speed, cast spells all the way, and then rush through with your body."

Professor Babuling was not surprised to hear her answer. She had investigated Lin Xia's student files in advance.

Her parents are both Eastern sorcerers. Eastern sorcerers have very strong physical strength. It is not surprising that she inherited the power of her parents.

It is said that there is still a potential hidden in the body of the Eastern Warlock, which will be gradually released over time.

"Why did you use the [Healing Potion] to deal with that doll?"

Lin Xia pondered for a while and said slowly: "Professor..."

Babling coughed lightly and interrupted: "Call me captain, it's useless even if you call me mom at this time."

Lin Xia smiled.

"Captain Babel." She said, "I think this strange object is very afraid of magic, otherwise it would not have controlled the town for so long without using magic power. I was wondering if it is very likely that it does not understand magic, or even hates magic."

"I tend to the last answer. It hates magic, so it has been unwilling to study it. If you use a magical object to get close to it, it should be able to hurt it."

Babel asked back, "So this is just your intuition?"

Lin Xia nodded, "Yes, this is just a small intuition of mine."

Babel shook her head, "Your intuition is not small. Not all wizards have your intuition. This should be one of your talents. Cherish this talent."

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly, "Professor, can I ask a question off topic?"

"Ask." Babel did not refute Lin Xia calling him professor this time.

Lin Xia asked, "What exactly is talent?"

Babling smiled and said, "It seems that you are confused about talent. In fact, there is no need to be so confused. You can think of it as having extraordinary intuition, talent, hobbies, etc. in a certain thing. Doing that thing can often achieve twice the result with half the effort and understand it faster than others.

In short, you have abilities that are far more outstanding than ordinary people, which can be summarized as talent.

Ordinary talents are available everywhere, such as seriousness, concentration, and concentration. Rare talents are hard to come by. I think you are a research talent. Your talent is very good in research, but you may not realize it.

In short, you study something and study it hundreds of times. Whether you study it yourself or are blessed by the goddess of luck, you can get results after a hundred times. Ordinary people who don't have research talents will not get results even if they study it tens of thousands of times."

Professor Babling changed the subject, "Just like this time, the Ministry of Magic studied Windmill Town for a full month, and there were four teams stationed there, but they didn't find anything. Discovery.

Only you and Draco found the abnormality in Windmill Town as soon as they entered it, and also proposed a new idea and promoted the solution plan. In the eyes of many wizards, this is an extraordinary talent. "

Professor Barbie continued the previous topic, "I said that talents can be common or rare. Common talents are possessed by everyone, but rare talents are rare.

You feel that the [Healing Potion] restrains the red doll, which is a rare talent. Extending outward, is it possible for you to foresee what will restrain this strange object every time you encounter a strange object?

If you can really foresee it, then our capture and research of strange objects will take a big step forward. "

Lin Xia shook her head: "I'm not sure I can foresee it every time."

Barbe's brows relaxed: "I know you can't do it, little wizard, you are too young, even if you can do it, your top priority is to study, not to do any annoying tasks. "

Lin Xia smiled, and the professors at Hogwarts seemed to be afraid that the little wizard would suffer.

In addition to the dean, many professors told her not to let the heavy tasks overwhelm her entertainment life.

Some people hope to grow up quickly.

And some people miss the time when they didn't grow up after growing up.

The investigation ended here, and Professor Barbling stood up and patted her on the shoulder.

"I forgot to tell you, Merry Christmas to you."

Lin Xia hugged her: "You too, professor, Merry Christmas to you."

After the questioning, Lin Xia and others could not leave.

They still had to spend a night in the Ministry of Magic and live in the detention center next door.

It is said that the Ministry of Magic has a special detention center, but Professor Barbling did not let them go. Instead, she used the traceless stretching spell to temporarily build a place next door for them to live in.

When Lin Xia went in, she saw Draco and Cedric sharing candy with each other.

The detention center was not so cold. There was a huge Christmas tree in the hall, with sparkling transparent bubbles hanging on the tree. The bubbles contained gifts and various snacks.

The two were happily opening gifts there.

They opened many bags of Bebe's Multi-Flavor Beans, but if they didn't rush to eat them, who knew what flavors they would get.

Just last week, Draco had eaten detergent and earwax flavors.

In addition, there were licorice wands, chocolate cauldron cakes, pumpkin pie, syrup pie...

Draco said excitedly: "Oh, I opened pumpkin juice."

The pumpkin juice still maintained its original appearance, and it was taken out to emit hot steam, as if it had just been freshly made.

He couldn't wait to take a sip, and then he felt that he was really celebrating Christmas.

This was the shabbyst Christmas he had ever spent!

Lin Xia also opened the gifts.

"Wow!" Cedric exclaimed, "Lin Xia, you opened a gift for the first time, and you actually opened a butter beer!"

"Butter beer?!" Draco was envious and jealous.

How come some people are stronger than you, and even luckier than you.

He opened dozens of gifts before opening pumpkin juice, but Lin Xia only opened one gift and opened a butter beer.

Lin Xia took a sip and felt sweet at first, and her body quickly warmed up.

No wonder the bar business is so good in winter. Who doesn't want to drink a sip of beer that can warm the body in the cold winter?

After opening the gifts, everyone piled the unpacked gifts on the ground, ate, drank and chatted.

Cedric said: "This is the most memorable Christmas I've ever had. I never thought that I would spend Christmas in the detention center of the Ministry of Magic."

Draco: "I don't understand. We have already asked, why don't you let us go?"

Cedric has participated in several missions, including the mission of strange objects, and said:

"We must not be allowed to leave. We have all touched strange objects. If we are so close, who knows if we will be affected by the strange objects? We have to make sure that we are okay before we can leave."

Lin Xia asked: "Affected?"

"Yes, the power of strange objects is very strange and powerful. Although the strange objects have been taken away, it is said that when you touch the strange objects, you are likely to be contaminated by the strange objects, and then lose your mind and become a madman with power but no reason, and will frantically destroy everything around you."

Cedric said: "This kind of thing has happened several times, so the Ministry of Magic asked us to stay here first to investigate."

If something happens in the Ministry of Magic, there are so many wizards here, and the situation can still be controlled.

"We are already lucky. According to our contact, we should at least be locked up in the detention center on the second floor underground. There is no such good environment there."

Cedric ate ​​a Bibi Multi-Flavor Bean and became happy.

He was lucky. This one was peach-flavored.

The second floor is the Magic Enforcement Department, which has the Auror Headquarters. It is the most powerful and violent department in the Ministry of Magic.

Being watched by a bunch of Aurors, it feels stressful even to sleep.

Besides, the detention center does not need very good conditions. It is good enough to give you a bed and a quilt.

Cedric has never been to the detention center, but he heard other wizards mention it when he was on a mission, saying that it is not a place for people to stay.

He was very happy that he did not go to the detention center this time.

Lin Xia asked about the follow-up of Windmill Town.

Her interrogation took a long time. Before being interrogated, she was locked up in a place alone and could not get any information.

The first person to be interrogated was Cedric.

Maybe it was because he was Professor Babel's student. Babel knew the temperament of this student very well. He was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble.

So she asked quickly and let the others in.

Mia happened to come down from another floor and report to Professor Babeling, so Cedric also heard it.

"The strange object has been confirmed. It is the red-dressed doll. It is preliminarily determined that it has the effect of controlling people. The amplification range is half that of Windmill Town, and the puppet slavery effect is also half that of Windmill Town."

At this point, Cedric couldn't help but look at Lin Xia.

Strange objects usually weaken some effects after being successfully captured, but it is the first time to see such a weakening.

Sure enough, Lin Xia's three attacks on the strange object were too fierce. Each attack was a bottle of healing potion, and each attack was fatal, and each attack was stronger than the other.

Lin Xia asked: "What about those controlled people, are they still alive?"

Cedric sighed: "Only half of them are alive, and the other half died completely after falling down."

"Oh, by the way," he remembered something, "the wizards and witches in the room where the strange object was are all alive."
