Chapter 91

"Selica?"

Murphy shouted, but Selica had no response, and her pulse and breathing were extremely weak.

This time, without having to take off her clothes, Murphy could see that the gray-black aura had climbed onto her face and was still spreading toward the top of her head, as if something was about to swallow her whole body.

At the same time, Murphy also noticed a notebook that Selica had been holding in her arms.

After opening it and flipping through it quickly, Murphy roughly understood.

Selica found the spell of the Soul Seed and destroyed the Soul Seed that maintained Joachim's existence through it, causing him to dissipate.

But at the same time, her act of tampering with Joachim's Soul Seed also caused the agitation of her own curse. This "parasite" might have felt threatened and accelerated the spread of the plague, causing Selica's condition to worsen.

Murphy tried to give her several intravenous injections of antibiotics, but it didn't seem to be of much use. Her own resistance had been weakened too much, and it was difficult to take effect by relying only on external drugs.

Must perform specific T-cell therapy on her as soon as possible.

But Murphy found that he seemed to have no way to treat Selica.

On the one hand, she was cursed and could not leave the village until the plague was treated.

On the other hand, if he wanted to lift the curse without treating the plague in her body, he could only reverse the Soul Seed she was cursed with.

But the diary clearly stated that reversing the Soul Seed curse of a living person would likely directly destroy her brain.

Originally, Murphy had prepared enough materials to prepare specific T-cells, but now, the materials were destroyed again.

So all the roads were blocked, and she simply couldn't leave alive.

Murphy himself could leave. The diary recorded the method of breaking the barrier.

However, breaking the barrier directly is also not possible.

The Soul Seed that is integrated with the plague is too dangerous. If the barrier is broken and the plague spreads out, everyone will become zombies, and Murphy, the boss of Umbrella, will really be worthy of the name.

Before breaking the barrier, the terrible plague must be eliminated first.

This also means burning all the zombies, or even burning the entire village, and then using the Soul Seed spell on the remaining ghosts to destroy their spirits and thoroughly solve the hidden dangers.

And Selica, the plague on her also needs to be solved, either cure her completely or burn her too.

Murphy hesitated for a while, and finally Apparated to the place where he threw the suitcase before, picked up the things, and then released a few paper cranes to notify Alex outside to prepare antibody magnetic beads immediately and send them in so he could prepare T-cells.

He set up an alarm spell at the agreed handover point, and once Alex sent the things in, he would know.

It's just that whether it's Alex preparing materials or him preparing the final T-cells, it takes time.

With Selica's current state, I don't know if she can hold on until that time.

Looking at the girl's increasingly gray complexion, Murphy frowned, thought for a while, picked her up, Apparated to the sky above the village, and then moved again, appearing in front of the church in the center of the village.

He blew up the church door and broke in.

A zombie priest was about to scold, but was thrown out of the window by Murphy with Vadiwasi.

He closed the entire church with a Transfiguration Spell and found the door to the basement through the Point Me spell.

Soon, he discovered the magic that produced the barrier mentioned in the diary.

It was actually a small piece of fur from an unknown creature.

It was placed on an ancient stone base, but the lower corner always maintained a distance of one centimeter from the base and floated.

Strong magic fluctuations radiated from that piece of fur and connected with countless runes carved on the stone base, forming a powerful magic ritual.

Murphy's magic literature is quite good. After studying for a long time, he found that a part of this magic ritual had been tampered with. Its original function should have been to prevent creatures from the outside from entering the barrier, but it had been changed to prevent creatures inside the barrier from leaving.

To destroy this magic ritual, just destroy the base.

Murphy put Selica aside and waited for Alex's news.

This wait lasted for half an hour, but the materials didn't arrive, but Selica woke up first. Her complexion was increasingly gray, her body was hot and scary, and it seemed she could die at any time, but her spirit seemed to be abnormally good.

She saw Murphy pacing in the room and shouted, "Mr. Murphy."

"You're awake? How do you feel?"

"A bit tired," Selica gasped, "My chest is very stuffy, I have no strength, and I'm a bit cold."

Murphy thought for a while, took out a blanket from the suitcase, draped it over her, and comforted her: "I gave you a few injections, you should be better soon."

Selica smiled weakly, "Mr. Murphy, you are lying again."

"I didn't lie to you this time, as long as..." Murphy said, seeing the other party's expression, paused, "My fault, I didn't consider it thoroughly, I didn't expect the materials to be destroyed."

Selica shook her head, "I'm very happy that you came to save me."

She said, as if remembering something, handed out the notebook in her arms, and said: "I found Joachim's diary, which records the method of breaking the barrier. Mr. Murphy, you can go out."

Murphy looked at the other party for a long time before asking, "Selica, do you like me?"

Selica was shocked, her face flushed rapidly. Because she was already a bit feverish, she almost fainted. It took a lot of effort for her to dare to glance at Murphy's face, "Wh, why ask that?"

Murphy didn't speak.

Selica struggled for a long time before muttering, "Yes, a little bit, not very much, just a little bit, I just think Mr. Murphy is different from others."

"Hmm." Murphy didn't deny the other party's words, and didn't seem to feel happy, but fortunately, he didn't seem to feel embarrassed either.

Selica breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

This should be considered a rejection.

"Actually, I'm not that great. I'm just an ordinary person, not as powerful as you imagine, and not that good. Everything you see is actually just a coincidence. I just happened to run into that near-impossible probability."

What Murphy said actually referred to the matter of crossing over.

He remembered the dream before again. If he hadn't crossed over, that life in the dream should have been his original life.

In the end, he was just one of the common people, not particularly smart, and not particularly powerful.

"You could have just rejected me, there's no need to describe yourself so miserably." Selica seemed a bit unhappy, "Instead, this makes me feel even worse."

Murphy was a bit helpless, so he asked again, "Then what do you like about me?"
