Chapter 78

Murphy met Boris in the visitor area.

The security level of the mansion is very high. Not to mention that the underground research institute is absolutely forbidden to enter, the mansion on the ground is also not allowed to enter without invitation, and it is divided into several areas. Even guests invited by the owner can only stay in the visitor area and are not allowed to move in other areas.

It was because Murphy showed the security guards Boris's photo and informed them that this person might visit that Boris was let in.

"How is Mariana?" Seeing Boris, Murphy asked.

"She is recuperating in the hospital now, and I plan to pick her up in a few days." Speaking of this, he looked at Murphy, "What you said before, does it still count?"

"Of course," Murphy said.

"You can let Mariana stay here," Murphy said, "It's very safe here."

"Good." Boris nodded, "Regarding my work, what exactly do I need to do?"

"Later, I will take you to the laboratory to cooperate with them for some examinations. This might need to be done regularly, but you just need to listen to them."

"What you mainly need to do is learn to become the boss of a technology company."

"First, you need to familiarize yourself with the situation of the Umbrella Corporation. I will prepare the materials for you. Then, when you are ready, I will introduce you to someone. He is my collaborator in the Muggle world. He doesn't know my true identity, but he is a very capable operator. I will change his memory and replace all the parts about me in his memory with you."

"Then, from now on, you can continue to cooperate with him and operate the Umbrella Corporation together. Of course, in most cases, you don't need to make any major decisions. You can just be my assistant."

"Maybe you can confess your true identity to him. Aren't you partners? Don't you trust him?" Boris asked.

"I trust him," Murphy thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "No, that will cause trouble for your future work. There is no need for this. And Patrick has his own ideals. Telling him the truth might make him very disappointed."

Patrick enjoys the process of creating a great product. If he knew that his so-called 'great product' was just changing the packaging of wizards' potions, I'm afraid he would be quite disappointed.

"Good, I understand."

Boris nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I found these things in the yard just now, those security guards, it seems they can't see them."

As he spoke, he handed a few paper cranes to Murphy.

"When I saw them, these two were still flying."

Murphy was stunned when he saw those paper cranes.

Aren't these Selica's paper cranes?

He took them and counted, there were five, three were already wilted, and two were still flapping their wings, which should be the newest ones.

It seems that it's not that Selica didn't write to him, but that these paper cranes couldn't get into the institute, so they couldn't find him. And the paper cranes should have been cast with a Muggle-Repelling Charm, so the security guards didn't notice them, and they just kept flying around in the mansion until they were discovered by Boris, who is now no longer a Muggle.

These five letters have been sent back, has that guy already found the place and then gone in to explore by herself?

He hurriedly opened a paper crane, only to see it written in a beautiful handwriting: "It's the fifth day, you haven't come yet. I guess you might be busy with something else. I can't wait, I'll go in first. I wrote the method of entering on this paper crane, just activate several Rune Pillars in the correct order. You hurry up!"

Uh...

Damn, this girl really went to explore by herself!

He put away the paper crane with the correct activation order, and opened the second paper crane.

"I found Joachim's village! It's really hidden. I tried for a long time before I found it! It was hidden by the whole village, not only using the Muggle-Repelling Charm, but possibly other secrecy spells, but now it should have been broken. Besides that, it is surrounded by a circle of strange woods. If you don't use the stone pillars on the periphery of the woods to lift the magic of the woods, people will be trapped inside!"

"I thought about it for many days before I figured out how to lift the magic of the woods! I'm so great!"

"You hurry up, I'm waiting for you at the castle ruins."

Murphy: "..."

This paper crane is already wrinkled, like it has been rained on two or three times and dried. It seems that Selica should have been waiting for him to explore together for many days.

And from the first paper crane before, she waited for him for at least five days.

No, why are you so stubborn?

If you can't Apparate, can't you take the Knight Bus back to tell me first?

If I had known this, I should have prepared a Portkey for her.

He opened the third paper crane, "Three days! I wrote you two letters! If you don't come again, I'll go in myself! There is no Knight Bus here! It seems they can't reach every place. You hurry up!"

"..."

Fine.

It seems she didn't just write these five letters to him, there might be others.

Sure enough, Murphy went around the yard and found two more paper cranes urging him to go and meet up quickly.

After reading these wilted paper cranes, Murphy opened the two newest ones.

"Murphy! Come and save me! This village is so scary! I seem to be unable to get out! I'm sorry, I should have waited for you. You hurry up and see my letter, if you don't come again, I will die!"

Murphy frowned. Sure enough, there is danger, but this situation is really not all her fault. He should have left her some more reliable contact methods earlier.

He hurriedly opened the last paper crane.

"If you see this letter, you must not come! This village is very dangerous! People who enter will be cursed, this curse might be the Seed of Soul, it makes people unable to leave! And, there is a plague here! There are no living people here! And I should have been infected. Maybe I only have a few days left. This place was closed off, perhaps to prevent the plague from spreading to the outside world. You must not come! If Alex or Mom asks, just say I went on a trip..."

"I'm sorry I didn't help you find the spell, you must not come. This disease will become very ugly after it breaks out, I don't want you to see me like that."

"I..."

The words behind were crossed out.

"..."

Plague?

Seed of Soul curse?

That is to say, the Seed of Soul magic does exist in the village?

It's just that this magic was used on people who entered the village.

And, what's the situation with the plague?

Murphy thought for a while, put away the paper cranes, and said to Boris: "Let's go, I'll take you to the laboratory first."
