Chapter 315

Umbrella headquarters building.

Murphy looked out the window. The protesting crowd holding signs on the street below had almost blocked the gate of the Umbrella Corporation.

The news on the TV was also broadcasting news about anti-aging and anti-cancer viruses.

"The parade has increased to two thousand people. People have taken to the streets, demanding that the Umbrella Corporation disclose technical data and eliminate public panic..."

"Disclose technical data..." Murphy turned off the TV and sneered, "Not to mention the magic aspect, just the investment in Muggle society has hundreds of millions. Disclose? Do they think I'm doing charity?"

"Sorry, Murphy, I messed things up." Boris was also in the room, his face full of worry.

"This matter is not your fault, and it's not something you can handle." Murphy sighed, "What should come will come. I thought the Soviet Union's actions could make it stop, but I didn't expect it to come here to make trouble again."

Murphy had already conducted an investigation. That R&D personnel who violated the confidentiality agreement and broke the news to the hearing committee, although he had not been in contact with secrets like the Magic Research Institute, his attitude was a bit too firm, risking the risk of offending Umbrella and carrying millions of fines to "tell the truth." After an investigation, it was indeed the ghost of the statue of the Virgin Mary.

On the Soviet side, under the rectification movement, the ideological guidance method of the statue of the Virgin Mary has been declared a failure. It simply cannot block the pace of an awakened country.

So it found the United States.

The United States put pressure on the British Prime Minister, so there was the scene at the hearing.

It's not a day or two that Umbrella has caused trouble for the United States. Since the chip incident, the United States has been thinking about splitting and swallowing Umbrella.

And this time, they should have also received news from the Soviet side.

The scale and level of the "National Technology City" project cannot be completely hidden, and it will be discovered sooner or later.

However, the United States is probably still doubting the authenticity of the so-called "Void Particle."

After all, they themselves have launched the "Star Wars" plan. Maybe the so-called "Void Particle" and "Technology City" are just smoke bombs used by the Soviet Union to make the United States waste national power?

But the fact that Umbrella entered the Soviet Union and has an unusual relationship with the Soviet Union is enough to make them vigilant.

Umbrella Corporation's powerful innovation capabilities in the fields of chips, computers, the Internet, and biology make it like a hen that will constantly lay golden eggs. Once it really invests in the Soviet camp, how long the United States' technological hegemony can be maintained is a question.

Whether it is the greed for this hen that lays golden eggs or the fear of it defecting to the enemy, it has made the United States have the heart to kill Umbrella, and the appearance of the statue of the Virgin Mary is just an opportunity to integrate Umbrella's opponents.

The United States' abacus is very loud. First pressure the UK, stink Umbrella, then investigate, convict, split, and swallow in one go. After eating Umbrella, dig out a bit of the real situation in the Soviet Union. A set of combos down, both strengthened itself and weakened the enemy, and by the way, beat the little brother who jumped to his original position.

It's simply killing multiple birds with one stone, perfect.

However, Murphy certainly couldn't admit to being beaten.

Since the Prime Minister is just a spineless coward who nods and bows to the American masters, don't blame himself for using extraordinary means.

Murphy connected to Rasim in the mind network, "Notify Dawson, execute the plan, control the Prime Minister."

In any case, the current Prime Minister is also a puppet in front of the United States. Since it is all control, why can't it be controlled by himself?

Using interests to threaten, and using magic to control, neither is more elegant than the other.

However, this move is ultimately just a temporary measure.

The British Prime Minister is not the American President, let alone the Soviet President. The political structure of the UK determines that there are very few Prime Ministers who can achieve dictatorship in Parliament. Most Prime Ministers are just the mouthpiece of a political party. Once they are disobedient, they will face impeachment.

This is also the reason why Murphy doesn't want to toss in this mud of the UK at all, but turns to the Soviet Union.

To do things in the Soviet Union, you only need to solve those limited few people, dozens of people, or hundreds of people.

But to do things in the UK, you are like fighting with a ball of mud. After breaking this ball of mud, there are countless balls of mud waiting for you.

It is not without reason that this place produces gradualists like Dumbledore.

……

A few days later, White Ferret Mountain.

Sirius is wearing a cowboy hat, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, hoeing the ground in his yard like a Muggle farmer.

Harry hasn't had a holiday yet, and his days on White Ferret Mountain are truly a bit boring.

For a while, he would travel everywhere, traveling around the world to make up for the years wasted in Azkaban.

And traveling around the world was their—the Marauders' dream when they were in school.

If there were no First Wizarding War, he and James and Lupin would definitely have ridden that motorcycle and wandered around everywhere. Go to France, go to Finland, go to distant Africa and Egypt, and turn the world around.

For this reason, he even asked Hagrid to get back that flying motorcycle.

But whenever he embarked on a journey alone, a terrible loneliness followed him like a ghost, making him lose interest very quickly.

Only then did he understand that what he liked was not traveling.

But just the time spent with friends.

But that kind of time can never come back.

His best friends in the past now only have Lupin left.

But Lupin carries too much on his back. He wants to open up a path of survival for his compatriots. Recently, he wrote that he had taken those werewolf compatriots away from the UK—to avoid this foreseeable struggle.

Whether it is Dumbledore or Murphy Darkholm, they have kindness to Lupin, and he chose to help neither side and leave this place of right and wrong.

But Sirius cannot leave, he still has Harry to take care of.

Even, he felt that the rest of his life was left with only this one important thing.

After giving up traveling, Sirius also tried to pick up his hobby of music. He went to listen to a few concerts of the Weird Sisters and bought many Muggle tapes.

Later, he tried reading to pass the time, or went to chat with Arthur, but it was not very useful. He still felt incomparably empty and extremely bored.

Finally, it was farming that saved him.

Not planting flowers and plants, but actually picking up crops like pumpkins, potatoes, beets, etc. He found that in farming, he could think of nothing, just invest his energy in the physical labor in front of him, invest in the land in front of him.

In the mud all over his feet, in the stench of manure, he actually found a kind of peace.

As if it made him fall from the swaying air into the land, letting him feel a kind of peace he had never felt before.

However, at this moment, his peace was broken again.

A sturdy figure appeared abruptly in front of his courtyard gate.

Kingsley looked at this former companion sincerely, "Sirius, we need you."
