A rusty bronze scale appeared in front of Lin Xia.
The scales have intricate and delicate patterns, engraved with scenes from the past: people kneeling on the ground to worship the pyramids, people killing animals for sacrifice, and people making pilgrimages in search of a utopia...
Unfortunately, the large patches of rust have caused many exquisite patterns to be lost, giving it a sense of desolation.
The basilisk's soul was pulled out of its body little by little by the powerful suction of the scales. The basilisk opened its huge mouth and roared angrily, even its soul was furious.
Unlike pulling the basilisk, which was so difficult, the souls of Myrtle, Peeves, and the rooster had been pulled out of the scales and placed on the left end.
Peeves and the cockerel screamed in panic, but their voices were locked in the scales and could not be heard.
Myrtle stared at the basilisk with hatred and said sharply, "I want it to die, I want it to die!"
Under Lin Xia's gaze, the already weak snake monster finally had its complete soul pulled out and placed on the right end of the scale.
The balance immediately began to turn, the right end where the basilisk was located sank and fell, while the left end where Myrtle and the others were located rose up, with the two ends forming almost a 180° plane!
But it is not a flat surface after all, and there is a gap that can be pried open.
Lin Xia used her ability without hesitation to turn the balance of fate!
Now the right end where the basilisk is located rises rapidly, while the left end representing myrtle falls rapidly. The closer it gets to the middle point, the slower the swing of the scale becomes.
In the end, the left end of the scale overwhelmed the right end where the basilisk was with an almost imperceptible advantage!
Suddenly, the basilisk's soul shattered into pieces, and its external body also disintegrated silently.
Lin Xia looked at this scene and felt many emotions in her heart. She turned the scales of fate over, using the weak to defeat the strong, and the basilisk was sacrificed as a sacrifice using the scales of fate.
A powerful energy surged in her body. The scales of fate absorbed the sacrifice and also fed some of the energy back to her, making Lin Xia feel omnipotent.
Her eyes turned slightly cold, suppressing this false sense of power.
Myrtle, Peeves, and Rooster, on the other side of the scale, may have turned defeat into victory, but they may not survive.
Even if their fate was rewritten by the Scales of Fate, they were still weak. Their souls had been absorbed a lot in the confrontation with the basilisk. In addition, when their souls were placed on the Scales of Fate, a certain amount of power would also need to be absorbed by the Scales.
Therefore, the moment the basilisk completely disintegrated into nothingness, the souls of Myrtle, Peeves, and the rooster also collapsed and were destroyed.
On the scales, Myrtle gave Lin Xia a relieved smile, a smile she had never shown before, a brilliant smile that seemed to have dispelled the dark clouds.
Lin Xia recognized her lip shape——
"Thank you."
She couldn't help but be stunned, and watched Myrtle's body turn into nothingness bit by bit, with mixed feelings.
Not everything can be used as a weight on the scales of fate; it must be two closely related people or things.
If she wants to fulfill Myrtle's last wish, she must use the scales of fate to sacrifice the basilisk to completely destroy it.
But in the process of using the scales of fate, she must also use a person or thing related to the basilisk as a weight.
Myrtle died because of the basilisk, and this cause and effect was enough for her to use as a bargaining chip.
As for using Peeves as a bargaining chip, Lin Xia snorted lightly.
She adheres to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me". If someone provokes her, she will not retaliate on the spot, but will make them disappear one by one when the time is right.
As the souls of the basilisk, myrtle, Peeves, and the rooster gradually disappeared, Lin Xia's heart slowly calmed down.
She breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to leave this cage.
Suddenly, her face changed and she felt a repulsive and corrosive force exerting pressure on her soul, and her soul became weak at a rapid speed.
At this time, the scales of fate, which had absorbed the sacrifice, shook and spewed out bursts of mist, representing the green mist of the basilisk, the golden mist of myrtle, the white mist of Peeves, and a barely detectable red mist entangled together.
After a while, the fog dissipated and the three objects rested on the scale.
Two huge fangs of the basilisk, a bracelet as colorful as a rooster's tail feathers, and an extremely pure golden bead.
Lin Xia thought for a moment and took out the golden beads.
The beads emitted a mysterious attraction, bringing with it a warmth and intimacy, sucking in her vulnerable soul, which was exposed and without the protection of her body.
Protected by the beads, the corrosive force that repelled her from the castle disappeared.
Lin Xia thought about it, controlled the golden bead to fly out of the secret room, and before leaving, he did not forget to close the secret room again and clean up the mess.
At Hogwarts, a Gryffindor student rushed into the bathroom.
He looked very anxious. If he was any slower, he might miss the bus back home. And at that moment, he had a stomachache.
If Myrtle hadn't disappeared, she would have rushed out and screamed, "Asshole, you entered the women's room!"
The student washed his hands hurriedly, picked up his black suitcase and ran out. He did not notice that a small golden bead had mixed into the interlayer of his suitcase.
"Hurry, hurry, the train is about to depart!" The strong Hagrid maintained order on the platform to prevent some lost lambs from missing the last train.
A student came running over breathlessly, and was picked up by Hagrid and thrown into the train.
The next second, a "puff puff" sound was heard, and the Hogwarts Express officially started.
Hagrid took off his hat and waved to the students, "Merry Christmas!"
Hogwarts is a greenhouse that protects its students very well, but once they leave, news from the outside world spreads as quickly as a storm. Even on the train, students can feel the seriousness of the situation.
Daily Prophet
"The mysterious man leads his army of Death Eaters, claiming to create a pure wizarding world. The First Wizarding War is about to begin!"
"Dark Lord: Eliminate Muggles, eliminate all people and creatures who cannot use magic, wizards are born noble!"
The Quibbler
"The Dark Lord uses cruel means to make people submit, and another ancient family has fallen - the Malfoy family announced that they will join the Dark Lord and become Death Eaters!"
"The storm is brewing, and the First Wizarding War is about to break out. Can Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix stand against Voldemort's army of Death Eaters? He is the only one Voldemort fears!"
When some students saw this report, they couldn't help but shudder, put their hands on their heads, and didn't even dare to speak louder.
He spoke cautiously, his tone filled with shock and disbelief, "They actually published the mysterious man's name?"
The student shook his head, as if that could shake the fear out of his mind. "I'm going to die. I'm definitely going to die."
As the train passed through Derbyshire, England, a student's black suitcase reflected a faint golden light under the sunlight.
Lin Xia, who was hiding in the golden beads, moved the destiny compass in her mind slightly and settled on the "fortune-seeking" column.
【Best Fortune】: Go to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England, where you will have a chance to be reborn, but you will have to wait for more than seven months. This will ensure that your family will be rich and powerful.
【Lucky Sign】: Go to the Islington residential area north of the River Thames in London. You will get a chance to reincarnate without waiting, and your family will have no worries about food and clothing.
【Medium】: Follow the owner of the suitcase home and you will get a chance to reincarnate. No need to wait, and your family will be peaceful and stable.
【Worst Fortune】: Leave the carriage, kill the Death Eaters, and make a name for yourself. You may have a chance to be reborn, become rich and powerful, and deepen your connection with the world. However, the road ahead is full of dangers, with both good and bad luck coexisting.
