Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 153 The Rebellion Farce

Soon, Murphy gleaned some bad news from the other person's mind.

The magic research institute has fallen.

To be precise, he was controlled by several undercover wizards.

Kingsley and Crouch had long suspected that Murphy had a secret hideout, so when Murphy recruited wizards through the Wizard Security Shop, they sent trainee Aurors to infiltrate the area.

They were quite capable, but had not yet registered as true Aurors, and most of them were recent graduates, meeting Murphy's recruitment requirements.

At the same time, Kingsley learned from his previous failed undercover missions. He not only prevented these undercover agents from carrying out any missions or sending back intelligence, but he also used a forgetting spell on them to seal away their memories of their undercover identities.

These undercover agents, unaware that they are spies, are difficult to detect even with mind control techniques.

So they were recruited into the magic research institute, just like any other excellent shop assistant.

They have remained loyal to Murphy to this day.

In order to awaken these deeply hidden undercover agents, Kingsley extracted their sealed memories and placed them into a small memory sphere that could store the memories, which they carried with them.

The memory orb was set with an activation spell and connected to a paired control device, which could remotely control the state of the memory orb, allowing it to release memories at any time and awaken them.

Such a sophisticated undercover operation was something even Murphy couldn't have predicted.

Upon being awakened, they immediately received the Aurors' order to counterattack via radio. The Aurors instructed them to occupy Murphy's lair and open the gates to welcome the Aurors.

But... when they tried to do it, they suddenly found themselves facing a problem.

They seemed, it was as if, inexplicably unable to betray Murphy...

Any unauthorized disclosure of the magic research institute to others is instinctively met with their resistance.

They couldn't even send a message out to the Aurors, informing them of the location of the magic research institute.

They quickly realized that it was the effect of the agreement signed with Murphy.

Murphy used some kind of spell, the power of which was so strong and so irresistible that it didn't even resemble the way an unbreakable oath was achieved with the threat of death—an unbreakable oath can be broken as long as one is not afraid to sacrifice oneself.

The terrifying thing about the Murphy spell is that it makes the recipient completely and willingly comply with the agreement.

Any act of leaking secrets will be prevented by oneself.

Whether you were an undercover agent or an enemy in the past, once you sign the agreement, you become a comrade.

damn it……

The undercover agents were on the verge of collapse, but out of loyalty and a sense of justice, they obeyed the first part of the Aurors' orders and took over the magic research institute.

After all, most of the people in the magic research institute were Muggles who had no fighting ability, and house-elves who could not harm wizards at all. There were not many wizards, so they quickly succeeded by taking them by surprise.

Then they met Murphy.

"What a brilliant move." Murphy admired Kingsley's actions from the bottom of his heart, "However... it's all for naught."

Ultimately, the intensity was too low.

The memory sealed by the Oblivion Curse is not strong enough to break through the Seed of the Mind's blockade.

The fighting strength of this group of undercover wizards was no match for him at all.

Therefore, skills or strategies only work within a relative power gap; in the face of an absolute power difference, they are nothing but a joke.

Murphy then found two more undercover agents guarding the remaining wizards in another conference room and subdued them effortlessly.

The crisis at the magic research institute was thus averted.

It wasn't that the undercover wizards didn't want to do more to ensure victory; it was simply that the agreement required them to cherish the institute's property, cooperate with other Muggle researchers, and respect each other. The fact that they managed to gather everyone together in one place was already a testament to exploiting a loophole in the agreement and doing everything in their power.

The damage caused by this rebellion farce wasn't even as great as Murphy's flash attack just now...

Murphy located the researchers responsible for treating Patrick and the others, only to find them still working methodically in their original positions, completely unaware that a rebellion had broken out at the research institute.

Tragic, absolutely tragic...

Murphy was almost in tears for the undercover agents.

"Boss, have you found the petrified lizard's venom?" Andrew Tucker asked as soon as he saw Murphy.

"No, but it's not necessary anymore."

The petrified lizard's head was smashed to pieces by the Thunderbird, and its venom glands were burned to ashes by the lightning. Not only was the spilled venom difficult to collect, but most of it was also swept away by the subsequent tornado.

He indeed failed to obtain the petrified lizard's venom.

However, once Murphy has the Animagus form, he can secrete some venom if he wants, or use this venom to strengthen his petrification spell, making him truly "petrified".

But that's not what Murphy meant by "not needed".

"Using Dictamnus can speed up the preparation of Animagus potions. Take a piece of paper; I'll write down the specific proportions and preparation steps for you."

After killing Thunderbird, in order to survive, he had to decipher the mechanism of the mutation that had occurred within him. In those five microseconds of light-speed thinking time, Murphy understood the process through hundreds of thousands of comparisons and calculations.

Its core mechanism is the accelerating effect of dictamnus glycosides on Animagus potions.

He has already established a perfect theoretical model for this.

He took the paper from the intern therapist Valya, borrowed her wand, used Total Memory on himself, and materialized that knowledge onto the paper using the "Copy Charm".

He already knew this trick when he first completed Raven Magus, and that's how the scripts he gave to Pickett came about.

After handing over the steps of the speed-up potion to Andrew and instructing him to prepare the antidote to save lives, Murphy gathered the remaining medical experts and gave himself a comprehensive physical examination, drawing several vials of blood and undergoing various X-ray and puncture tests.

However, since his body is very different from that of ordinary humans, the experts could not draw any conclusions and could only conduct research first.

He had just stepped off the MRI machine when Laura came looking for him. "Director, we just received a call from someone who said they could provide the location of the werewolf."

In fact, because Murphy set the reward very high, they had received many similar calls, but this call was a bit different. "He said he was also a werewolf, and that he saw a werewolf kidnap a child. I think this news is probably true."

"Oh? What's his name?"

"He calls himself Moon Face, but we don't know what that means."

Moon face?

Remus Lupin?

Murphy didn't hesitate much. "Send the Watchers out immediately to rescue them!"

"Chief, we can't get in touch with the Watchers... We suspect the Aurors might have taken control of the security store..."

Murphy frowned. Damn it, all he does is cause trouble!

"Fine, I'll go myself. He said, where's the werewolf?"

"London's docklands, Surrey shipyards, but he lost track of them and doesn't know the exact location."
