Chapter 78: Paper Crane

Murphy met Boris in the visitor area.

The security level of the mansion is very high. Not only is the underground research institute strictly prohibited, but the mansion on the ground is also prohibited from entering without permission, 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 around in other areas.

Before, Boris was allowed in because Murphy showed the security guards a photo of Boris and told them that this person might visit.

"How is Marianna?" Murphy asked when he saw Boris.

"She is recuperating in the hospital now. I plan to take her back in a few days." At this point, he looked at Murphy, "Does what you said before still count?"

"Of course." Murphy said.

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

"Okay." Boris nodded, "What do I need to do specifically about my work?"

"Later, I'll take you to the laboratory and cooperate with them to do some inspections. This may be done regularly, but you just need to listen to them."

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

"First, you need to be familiar with the situation of Umbrella Corporation. I will prepare the information for you. Then, when you are almost ready, I will introduce you to someone. He is my partner 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, in the future, you can continue to cooperate with him and run 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 about it and finally shook his head, "No, that will cause trouble for your future work. There is no need for this. Besides, Patrick has his own ideals. Telling him the truth might disappoint him."

Patrick enjoys the process of creating a great product. If he knew that his so-called "great product" was just a change of packaging for wizards' potions, he would probably be quite disappointed.

"Okay, I understand."

Boris nodded and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I found these things in the yard just now. Those security guards seemed to be unable to see them."

He handed a few paper cranes to Murphy.

"When I saw them, these two could still fly."

Murphy was stunned when he saw the paper cranes.

Isn't this Celica's paper crane?

He took it and counted it. There were five, three of which were already wilted, and two were still flapping their wings. They should be the newest ones.

It seems that it is not that Celica did not write to him, but that these paper cranes cannot enter the institute, so they cannot find him. The paper cranes should have been cast with a Muggle-repelling spell, so the security guards did not notice them, and they kept flying around in the mansion until they were discovered by Boris, a vampire who is no longer a Muggle.

Five letters have been sent back. Could that guy have found the place and explored it himself?

He quickly opened a paper crane and saw that it was written in beautiful handwriting: "It's the fifth day, and you haven't come yet. I guess you may be busy with other things. I can't wait, so I went in first. I wrote the method of entry on this paper crane. Just activate a few rune stone pillars in the correct order. Come quickly!"

Uh...

Damn it, 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 so hidden. It took me a long time to find it! It was completely hidden. Not only was the Muggle Repelling Charm used, but other confidentiality spells may have been used. However, it should have been destroyed now. In addition, it is surrounded by a circle of strange woods. If the stone pillars outside the woods don't remove the magic of the woods, people will be trapped inside!"

"It took me many days to figure out how to unlock the magic of this woods! I'm so good!"

"Come quickly, I'll wait for you at the castle ruins."

Murphy: "..."

This paper crane is already wrinkled, as if it has been rained on two or three times and then dried. It seems that Celica should have been waiting for me to explore together many days ago.

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

No, why are you so stubborn?

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

If I had known this, I would have prepared a door key for her.

He opened the third paper crane again, "It's been three days! I've written you two letters! If you don't come, I'll go in by myself! There's no knight bus here! It seems that they can't reach every place, come quickly!"

"..."

Okay.

It seems that she has not only written these five letters to him, there should be other paper cranes.

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

After looking at these wilted paper cranes, Murphy opened the latest two paper cranes again.

"Murphy! Come and save me! This village is so scary! I can't seem to get out! Sorry, I would have waited for you if I had known. Please read my letter soon, or I'll die!"

Murphy frowned. Sure enough, there was danger, but this situation was really bad and she was the only one to blame. If I had known, I should have left her some more reliable contact information.

He quickly opened the last paper crane.

"If you see this letter, don't come! This village is very dangerous! Everyone who comes in will be cursed. This curse may be the Seed of the Heart, which will prevent people from leaving! Moreover, there is a plague here! There are no living people here! And I should be infected. Maybe I only have a few days. This place is closed off to prevent the plague from spreading to the outside world. Don't come! If Alex or mom asks, just say I'm traveling..."

"I'm sorry that I didn't find the spell for you. Don't come. This disease will turn you into an ugly person after it breaks out. I don't want you to see me like that."

"I..."

The words behind were crossed out.

"..."

Plague?

Curse of the Seed of the Heart?

In other words, the magic of the Seed of the Heart does exist in the village?

It's just that this magic is used on people who enter the village.

And what about the plague?

Murphy thought for a moment, put away all the paper cranes, and said to Boris: "Come on, I'll take you to the laboratory first."
