Hogwarts's Master of Mind

After dinner, it started raining heavily outside again. Aiden felt bored and went to bed early.

The next day, Aiden woke up early and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After breakfast, Aiden and Oliver read in the library.

"Your ancestors also collected many ancient books." Looking at the heavy books on the bookshelf, Aiden exclaimed.

"You don't know this, but our family has a long history. According to my father, four of our relatives were accused of witchcraft and hanged in 1692.

Maybe there really was a wizard among my ancestors." Oliver looked a little proud.

Without giving Oliver any more chance to show off, Aiden walked to the bookshelf and found that it was full of moldy old books, including old Morister's unrestrained "The Wonders of Science".

Joseph Granville's The Triumph of the Christian Reformers, 1681 edition.

Remigius's thrilling Satanism.

"'Devil Worship' is interesting." Aiden took the book down and started flipping through it.

The first page of the book clearly states: "The power of the devil is to make invisible things visible and make them visible." - Lactantius

Aiden looked at the book and felt a sense of déjà vu. Without thinking much, he said to Oliver,

"Oliver, can you lend me this book? I want to study it."

"Of course, you can take it and have a look. Father seldom comes to the study, so I don't think it's something very important." Oliver responded.

..........

As time goes by, the celebration is approaching.

That day, Oliver's noisy voice came from outside the house, "Aiden, the celebration is about to begin, do you want to go shopping together?"

"Okay." Aiden put away his books and followed Oliver to the street.

Residents walked the streets, wrapped in hooded coats, past crumbling signs, historic gables, thatched roofs, and diamond-shaped glass windows.

The procession passed through steep alleys, on either side of which were ruined houses stacked one on top of the other, and as the crowd passed through the square and the church cemetery, the lanterns swayed constantly, as if drunk, forming terrible constellations.

Outside the church, a bald man with a pot belly was standing on the steps of the church giving a speech.

He also brought with him several bodyguards in black suits, who scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, as if ready to arrest any criminals hiding in the crowd at any time.

This...big shot was on the stage,

"I am very sorry to let you down, the people of Devon, this is a mistake by the Labour Party, but please do not forget the achievements of the party before.

We will definitely actively promote people's livelihood and improve your welfare, and don't worry even if we become the opposition party, the heart of the Labor Party is always connected with you."

Aiden felt a little bored listening to this boring speech.

Boring....wait, boring!

Suddenly, Aiden seemed to be awakened, and used his ability to scan the residents around him.

Finally, Aiden, who had always felt strange since arriving in this small town, finally understood the source of the feeling of disharmony.

"The residents of this entire town have no emotions? How is it possible for a living creature to be without emotions?" Aiden felt creepy.

"system."

"Ding, hiss—hiss—, the host is detected to be no longer disturbed, and the system is restoring the connection."

"Fuck, what could possibly interfere with uniqueness?" Aiden's mind was a mess.

"Ding, it's not that the system is being interfered with, it's just that the host has been deceived." The system explained.

"No, I can't stay in this damn place any longer. I have to leave immediately."

After that, Aiden pulled Oliver to his home. Rushing into the small building, Aiden said to Oliver,

"Oliver, there's something wrong with this place. We have to leave immediately. I'll go pack my things and you go find your father."

Oliver, who was dragged all the way back to the house by Aiden, was obviously still a little confused.

"Aiden, what's wrong, are you leaving?"

Aiden waved his wand, and all the items around him were sorted and packed by Aiden and flew into his suitcase.

"It's not me, it's us. This place is too evil. We have to leave here. Trust me, I won't hurt you."

Aiden hypnotized Oliver, infected him with urgency, and made him believe in himself.

"Okay, I'll go find my father now."

Oliver ran downstairs and Aiden followed him.

When they arrived at Oliver's father's room, it was empty.

"This... My father should have gone to the celebration. What should I do, Aiden?"

Oliver panicked, and Aiden released a soothing force on him.

"Pack your luggage first. I'll go look for it. Be careful and don't get lost."

After saying that, Aiden gave Oliver a box of Traceless Extension Charm, took out his wand, and rushed out the door.

When he arrived at the door, Aiden released the Apparition, trying to locate Klinr's position directly through magic.

With a flash of space, Aiden seemed to hit a piece of steel and was bounced back.

When he came to his senses, Aiden appeared in the same place again.

"I'm trapped, this is - a spiritual wall?" Aiden was a little bit unbelievable.

"Alas, I just came out to relax, but something like this happened."

He sighed and returned to the house. Inside, Oliver had already packed his luggage.

“Oliver, come with me, this town seems to have been blocked, and I guess we can’t ask for help.

This is a special magical event, your father has no resistance, go find your father first."

Oliver nodded, Aiden put away the box, and the two ran out to the street to look for Oliver's father.

The street festival had begun, a festival called Judea, and although people usually called it Christmas, they knew in their hearts that this festival was far older than Bethlehem, Babylon, Memphis, and even humanity itself.

Next to the church, the residents lit a huge bonfire and performed a twisted dance under the light of the fire.

Their shadows slowly lengthened under the illumination of the flames, dancing in movements that were different from those of the residents.

Oliver watched the residents dancing, unconsciously raised his hands, and began to dance.

The sky and the earth spun and merged together, and Oliver felt like his whole body was about to melt under the flames.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aiden slapped him.

Oliver was knocked to the ground by a force far beyond that of an ordinary person, and he fainted.

Aiden: “…”

In a hurry, he forgot to hold back his strength and cast the Resuscitation Spell and Healing Spell on Oliver.

Oliver woke up from his confusion.

"Oh Aiden, I can't seem to feel my face."

"Well, in an emergency, you seemed ready to join them just now."

Aiden pointed at the residents who were in a state of panic. Oliver took a look and quickly looked away.
