Chapter 430 Clues to Shattered Souls

Hermione, upon receiving the golden ball, trembled violently as if struck by a high-voltage current. She seemed to lose gravity and float about twenty centimeters off the ground, with countless golden, electric-like energy currents flowing around her, crackling like a string of firecrackers.

These electric currents transformed into countless tiny rays of light that entered her body. At the same time, her pupils changed from dark brown to gold. Bai Lin knew that the golden sphere was just a trigger. What truly enabled Hermione to "advance" was not Bai Lin's ability, but Hermione's own inherent power of order. Bai Lin had merely activated this power.

The promotion didn't take long. Hermione's dark brown, messy hair suddenly had a hint of gold, and her whole demeanor, like Lulu and Catherine's, was filled with a holy radiance. Wings composed of faint golden light even appeared on her back.

This "god-like" appearance left his friends speechless, especially Ron, whose eyes were practically glued to the screen, his expression one of petrification. Seeing his close friend suddenly "ascend from the ground" was even more shocking than witnessing Dumbledore unleash a powerful attack. Harry, standing nearby, was equally stunned, his heart burning with excitement. He knew that if he found his own allies, he too could possess such extraordinary power.

Hermione landed gently on the floor, her pale golden wings fluttering casually before disappearing, but her pupils still shone with a faint golden light, showing that she was now quite different.

Luna's "promotion," however, presents a different picture. Bai Lin chose the power of "chaotic neutrality" for her instead of "chaotic goodness" because Luna's "super-senses" talent is more inclined towards neutrality. Luna can also firmly choose the more righteous side within this neutral mindset that is both good and evil. This is not "goodness" in the secular sense, but rather a state of "superego" in the philosophical sense. When she integrates the entire Gryffindor and even Hogwarts with herself, all her selfish thoughts are actually selfless.

The chaotic, dark purple energy swept around Luna like a storm, resembling countless ghostly figures, terrifying her companions. Luna floated into the air, her body contorting into various bizarre and twisted postures. If Bai Lin hadn't had a deep understanding of the power of chaos, he would have thought Luna was "possessed."

Actually, there has always been a legend of "demon possession" in the West. Demons that crawl from hell to the human world can possess humans. Those who are possessed usually show symptoms of "being possessed" and eventually die suddenly or turn into monsters. "Exorcists" or "priests" use props such as "Bibles and holy water" to "exorcise" the demons.

In fact, it becomes clear when explained using the power of chaos. However, whether this so-called "demon" truly exists on Earth is another matter. When an ordinary person is infused with disordered energy by others, it will naturally disrupt the balance of "order and chaos" within their own body, resulting in a state of "possession" or "demonic possession." Exorcism, on the other hand, uses the power of order to neutralize this disordered energy, thereby restoring the person to their original state.

Some priests or exorcists, who cannot activate the power of order, naively believe that they can exorcise evil spirits simply by reciting a few words from the Bible or splashing water from the church tap on the face of the possessed person. That is pure sham.

As the chaotic power within Luna was awakened, she gradually gained control of it as if divinely inspired, with her "super senses" playing a crucial role in this process.

If it were someone else, like George and Fred, even if Bai Lin was 100% certain that he could determine their faction, he wouldn't dare to rashly inject disordered elemental energy into their bodies. It would be more reliable to take them to their habitat and hand them over to the soul mentor, even though Lulu had said that more than half of the soul orb test subjects did not have a good ending.

After Luna completed her promotion, some black hairs appeared in her silver hair, and her whole demeanor became somewhat "wicked and charming". Her appearance was already outstanding, and after these slight changes, she seemed to have gained a lot of bewitching charm, becoming stunningly beautiful, which made Bai Lin marvel.

"Luna, are you alright?" Neville asked gruffly as he stepped forward. Seeing Luna smile slightly at him and gently shake her head, he finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Don't be surprised yet, let me see how much you've improved!" Bai Lin said with a grin.

Luna nodded, walked to the "filthy thing" on the ground, stretched out her wand, and solemnly cast a small spell. Immediately, some faint white smoke drifted out from the monster's limbs and gathered in front of her wand.

"These shattered souls should provide clues!" Luna said, catching the condensed white smoke in her hand, which looked like a small white glass ball.

"Is this... a manifestation of the soul? How amazing!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise. Bai Lin and Yan Nishuang exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Hermione took the small glass ball, extended her wand and gently tapped it. A golden light, like a scalpel, sliced ​​the small glass ball open, then quickly decomposed the shattered soul into countless glittering starlight. Finally, these starlight gradually formed the vague shape of a building.

"This is...this is London Bridge!" Harry exclaimed first. Bai Lin took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a classic-looking bridge. Although he had been to London many times, he had seen this iconic bridge many times in movies and TV shows.

"I heard... that the Ministry of Magic has an underground space beneath the base of London Bridge..." Eddie suddenly interjected. He was usually taciturn, but since he said it, it must have something to say.

He noticed everyone turning to look at him and felt a little shy, but he continued, "It used to be a training ground for the Auror exams. Last year, when the Ministry of Magic started training battle mage units, this place was requisitioned..."

"Aren't the battle mage units trained in Wells?" George muttered.

"So, that must be a secret base that Umbridge set up using her authority and the battlemage force as a pretext!" Hermione continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are we waiting for?" Bai Lin waved his hand, and a spiral of mist more than two meters high appeared in front of him. Without saying a word, he went into it. The others exchanged glances and followed closely behind.

This was a chaotic spatial portal, much more useful than ordinary Apparition. However, Bai Lin did not have the anchor coordinates of the London Bridge underground space. After they emerged from the portal, they found themselves above the Thames River. However, they did not fall into the river. Yan Nishuang opened a huge talisman, which lifted them into the air like a flying carpet.
