A murky green light swept across the area, and looking down, several figures holding magic wands were staring intently at them, ready to unleash a barrage of attacks at the slightest provocation.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Lin Yi descended downwards.
A wizard with a slightly deformed appearance pointed his wand in their direction, looked Lin Yi up and down, and asked in a suspicious tone, "A dark wizard?"
Lin Yi neither admitted nor denied it.
The silence seemed to be acknowledged by the wizard before him, and the hostility in his words did not diminish so obviously: "You've also come to join Voldemort?"
"Voldemort?"
“Hogwarts is now our territory. The Death Eaters have taken over this place. You are the seventeenth wizard to arrive today.”
Later, under Lin Yi's guidance, several Death Eaters (that's what they thought, but in reality they were just apprentice wizards who had mastered a few spells, probably not even as good as a first-level wizard apprentice in the wizarding world) revealed all the information they knew.
Including Voldemort's true identity.
"He was the leader of the Death Eaters, an extreme pure-blood terrorist organization, the initiator of two Wizarding Wars, and was also known as the most dangerous dark mage in history. Most people dared not utter his name, but of course, we Death Eaters have this honor."
Nodding as if he understood, Lin Yi asked a question: "How many worlds did he control?"
"what?"
"No? Then let's try another way: how many planets does he control?"
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 786 Hogwarts 1st Floor (Part 4)
In the end, Lin Yi was completely overthinking things.
The most dangerous dark wizard in history neither ruled the world nor controlled the planet. He controlled less than half of the wizarding world in Britain, and this wizarding world was the kind that couldn't directly confront the technological world created by ordinary people whom they called "Muggles".
It might have been possible hundreds of years ago, but now it's just a fantasy.
Even the most vicious Avada Kedavra curse can only kill one person, while machine guns and cannons can kill hundreds or thousands of people in the same amount of time. The two are simply not on the same level.
In short, this is a completely low-energy world, even by the standards of the wizarding world, it is a typical low-energy level. After all, Hogwarts, to some extent, represents the pinnacle of the entire British wizarding world, and the energy released by such a school with a single antimatter radiation could instantly evaporate ten of them.
However, just like the Grey World, even in low-level worlds there are many strange things, such as those witchcrafts that are similar in principle to those of wizards in the Wizarding World (generally below the first level, the vast majority are at the apprentice level, and they are mostly personal). In the end, Lin Yi stayed behind as a "black wizard who feeds dead disciples".

Control magic: fainting
The magic released with a wand has the effect of causing people to fall into a deep sleep. If its effect is magnified, it is the mental interference type of magic in the wizarding world. However, compared to the crude magic designed by wizards that uses "mana", the wizards of Hogwarts School can only use their own mental power and a small amount of magic power, so the power is naturally greatly reduced.
Protective Spell: Armor Protection
The ultimate simplified version of the defensive stances used by wizards in the Wizarding World. It's barely adequate for blocking sword and blade strikes, but it's a pipe dream to think it can stop gunpowder weapons, let alone be used by the great wizards of the Wizarding World to withstand 25mm machine guns head-on.
However, they are highly similar in principle.
Curse Spell: Avada Kedavra
This witchcraft is not recorded in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lin Yi obtained it from a Death Eater. It was forbidden by the white wizards because of its cruel and deadly nature. However, with the analysis of the Supreme God, Lin Yi discovered that this "witchcraft" was actually used more in the wizarding world.
However, it appears in the form of "radiation".
"So, some of the radiation emanating from those wizards is a curse targeting living beings?"
There is a 45.8% similarity.
"interesting."
Before encountering it, I knew nothing, but after gaining a general understanding of the wizarding and sorcery system of Hogwarts, I was able to discover that these two worlds, which are of vastly different levels but both have wizards, are highly similar. It's almost as if a part of the Hogwarts system was extracted to improve the wizarding system.
"More samples are needed."
Turning my gaze to the library window, across two buildings on the other side, I saw several furtive figures moving about within the college.
……
In order to find Voldemort's Horcrux locket, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley infiltrated the Hogwarts School of Magic, which had been taken over by Voldemort. With the help of magic, they successfully found the locket, but encountered an accident on their way out.
"A dark wizard."
"only one?"
Harry turned his gaze away from the dark wizard at the end of the corridor, nodded, and unexpectedly felt his heart beat a little faster.
Ron Weasley, eager to get back to the team, declared, "If there's only one, then kill him."
Hermione whispered a reminder: "This is Death Eater territory, we can't waste too much time."
Ron Weasley was getting impatient, but he knew this wasn't the time to argue: "Fine, let's just knock him out."
"I'll count to three, then we'll attack together?"
"no problem."
"three"
For some reason, even though it was just dealing with a dark wizard—neither Voldemort nor any of the known powerful Death Eaters, just a dark wizard—Harry felt his heart beating faster and faster.
"two"
Harry's rapidly beating heart forced him to shift his attention slightly away from the environment beyond the dark wizard.
"one--"
"and many more!"
At the critical moment, Harry grabbed Ron, who was about to pop up, and the latter hurriedly canceled the "Stun" spell he was about to cast on Hermione.
"What are you doing!"
"Something's strange around here..."
"Strange? This is Hogwarts. It would be strange if it weren't strange."
"No, it's too quiet around here."
After Harry's reminder, the two young wizards also noticed the unusual surroundings.
"Where are the Death Eaters from earlier?"
"And the sounds in the garden have also disappeared."
Ron swallowed hard, looking around. "Could it be that we've already been discovered?"
"If we're discovered, the Death Eaters won't let us stay here."
Harry tightened his grip on the Horcrux and peered out again toward the far end of the road, only to find that the dark wizard who had been blocking his way had vanished.
"Ron, Hermione, now's the time!"
He grabbed his two companions and ran towards the end of the road as if fleeing. Harry didn't know why he was so panicked. He had never felt this way even when he faced Voldemort directly, but he did it on instinct.
"Harry, what are you doing? We'll be found out—"
"Follow Harry, Ron, there's no one around."
"You're crazy!"
Gritting his teeth, Ron finally obediently followed his two companions, but the three of them soon had to stop again.
"Huff...huff...Hermione...is this corridor...that long?"
Even though he had run at least 500 meters, the exit was still about 200 meters away. If it weren't for the fact that every step he took was actually moving, Ron would have doubted whether he had been standing still.
"Huff...huff...there's something wrong with this corridor, let's go out the window."
"good idea!"
Pushing open the glass window, the familiar scene in the garden outside the corridor brought a sigh of relief to the three wizards from years ago.
Ron jumped out without hesitation. After looking around for a while, he found nothing unusual except that the surrounding environment was still too quiet.
"no problem."
When I turned around, I saw my two companions with blank expressions: "What's wrong with you two?"
"...Ron, are you sure everything's okay?"
Following their gaze, he looked behind him and replied, "Of course, as long as we get out of the garden... out... out..."
Behind them, the long corridor was deserted, leading straight to the exit two hundred meters away.
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 787 Hogwarts (Part 2)
Upon seeing the "two hundred-meter" long corridor behind the wall they had finally managed to break through, the three young wizards collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength.
Staring blankly at the corridor behind the wall, then turning to the corridor they were currently in—
Along the windows on the left and right, what appears outside is neither a garden nor a cliff, but a series of "two-hundred-meter" long corridors that connect vertically to the one they are currently in.
"...There's no way to get out like this."
Slapping her cheeks, Hermione drew a straight line on the ground with her wand: "Although I don't know why, we're trapped here now, and ordinary methods won't get us out."
"I'd rather this was a Hogwarts prank."
“I hope so too, but it’s actually much worse. Hogwarts might be able to alter parts of the castle’s structure, but it’s impossible for them to do what we see here. Look.”
Pointing to the straight line just drawn on the ground: "This represents the corridor where we first stayed, #qi〇疤wu俬@瘤[坝齐⒎ and the distance between us and the exit is two hundred meters—at least visually, it's two hundred meters, but in reality, the distance is not what we see at all."
Hermione put a question mark next to the line: representing length.
"We couldn't get out, so we changed direction."
Next to the straight line marked with a question mark, another vertical line is drawn: "But then the same situation occurred again, a corridor that was 'two hundred meters' long."
When Hermione said the length of "two hundred meters", she gritted her teeth: "We identified the widest corridor as number one, so the corridor that extends from number one is number two. After realizing that we couldn't get out by doing that, we went back to corridor number one and then left through the window on the other side, but we still encountered the same situation."
Draw a second vertical horizontal line on the original straight line: "Since it is still an extension of number one, it is also number two."
"As you all know, we opened the window at number two and saw corridor number three—"
Draw a new straight line on the horizontal line.
"Then leave through the window of corridor number three and enter corridor number four—"
Draw a new horizontal line on the straight line.
"Then there's corridor five, corridor six, corridor seven—"
Straight line, horizontal line, straight line...
"We are now in corridor number eight."
Pointing to the passage revealed behind the broken wall, he said, "This is Corridor Nine."
Harry hesitated and asked, "Is Hogwarts really that big? If every corridor we walk through is the same length, then we've already gone beyond the boundaries of Hogwarts, haven't we?"
"Yes, that's the problem."
Hermione connected the numerous horizontal and vertical lines on the floor, her tone serious: "Even if every corridor we've walked through is a standard two hundred meters long, this distance already exceeds the maximum length of Hogwarts. That means—"
"That is to say?"
"We're basically standing still!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long pause, Harry broke the silence: "Let's run straight out."
"Harry?"
"Ignore the other corridors and just keep running through this passage."
Clearly, if this endless looping corridor maze is a puzzle, then Harry Potter's choice is the wrong way to "solve the puzzle," but it is the only method that the trio can try now.
Ron and Hermione exchanged a glance and silently walked to his side.
Take a deep breath: "Charge!"
Compared to an exhausted body, the speed provided by magic far exceeds the limits of running.
At first, they could still clearly see the endlessly repeating scenery on both sides of the corridor, but after realizing that this speed wouldn't be able to close even a "meter" of the distance, the trio, including Harry, simultaneously increased their speed—
The images on both sides blurred, and the oncoming wind pressure made it hard to breathe. The three young wizards had lost count of how far they had traveled, yet the exit "two hundred meters" ahead still seemed impossibly far away...
