Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 93 Thorough Disinfection

Murphy has no way of guessing how the original copying spell worked.

Based on his past experience using this spell, the items it replicates have substance and mass. Although they disappear after a certain period of time, their existence is like that of real matter, rather than some kind of illusion of the five senses.

The underlying mechanism is enough to make Muggle scientists' heads spin, but Murphy did not use the spell exactly as he had in the past.

He was using the Replication Spell as a Transfiguration spell at this moment. The logic he set for the spell was to use the structure he provided and the real magnetic beads as references to transform the mixed materials into a large number of magnetic beads.

In terms of probability alone, this should be much simpler than generating matter out of thin air, right?

Sure enough, after a burst of light, the mixed material on the slide disappeared, and many magnetic beads reappeared in its place.

This time, they not only exhibited magnetism, but also formed antibody magnetic beads by binding antibodies through carboxyl groups, enabling T-cell isolation.

Murphy was overjoyed. This not only meant that Selica could be saved, but more importantly, it verified Haldane's hypothesis of will-guided behavior.

Wizards can alter the effects of spells through the guidance of their will!

In this way, the flexibility of the spell is greatly enhanced, and he will be able to do many more things with magic than before!

Next, Murphy used the same trick again, using the remaining materials to prepare enough magnetic beads, and then combined them with CD3/CD28 antibodies to form antibody-conjugated magnetic beads.

Next, antibody magnetic beads and mutant Yersinia pestis antigen were added to the centrifuged Serica plasma. Through the synergistic effect of the two signals, T cells were activated and separated by a magnetic field. Finally, dictamnus precipitant was used to accelerate their clonal proliferation.

Two hours later, Murphy obtained enough of Celica's immune T cells to specifically kill Yersinia pestis.

Injecting these T cells into Celica's blood vessels immediately ignited a desperate counterattack against the plague bacillus within her body.

She started having a fever again. In the early stages, because Celica had not received effective treatment, the amount of bacteria in her body was very high. Once the incubation period was over, they rose up and killed a large number of immune cells, and even occupied the immune cells' territory—the lymph nodes, which led to Celica's illness.

After Murphy arrived, although he used a special antibiotic to kill a large number of bacteria, the number of bacteria reached a peak again due to the effect of the curse after several outbreaks. At this time, Celica's immune system was basically paralyzed, and the medication alone was no longer effective, which directly pushed her to a critical stage.

But now, with the addition of a large army of T cells capable of specifically targeting the plague bacillus, the battle has been reversed once again. Murphy, with the aid of a large amount of antibiotics, finally suppressed the bacteria by evening, and Celica's condition improved significantly, and she is out of danger.

Around the time he was preparing the T cells, Alex also sent the magnetic beads, but they were no longer needed. The next day, Murphy sent Alex a letter informing him that Selica was safe and asking him to contact Patrick to find a team to dig a firebreak around the village.

Three days later, Celica's symptoms had largely disappeared and her body began to recover, while Alex also wrote to say that the firebreak had been dug.

So Murphy went outside the church, and without even looking at the zombies that were about to attack, he threw out a Fiendfyre spell.

Then he activated his arson mode, Apparating to every corner of the village, throwing Fiendish Fireballs everywhere, regardless of whether there were zombies or not. In no time, the entire village was ablaze.

The village is filled with beech trees, with a very high green coverage. The Fiendfire will use them as fuel to burn everything in the village to ashes. However, due to the presence of the magical barrier, the heat exchange will not be so rapid. The entire village will then become a steamer, with a high temperature that will be enough to kill the plague bacteria in the village.

The Fiendfire raged for a full day, followed by another day of scorching heat. When Murphy left the basement three days later with the now-recovered Celica, the village had been reduced to scorched earth, with only black and gray brick ruins remaining as far as the eye could see.

All combustibles were burned to ashes, leaving no trace of any living creature. In the entire village, not only did no one or any large animals survive, not even a single rat or cockroach.

Even the small river that encircles the village evaporated completely, forming a thick layer of water vapor in the air, which soon condensed into rain and fell down in a pattering sound.

In fact, this water had already undergone several evaporations and condensations under the scorching heat of the fire.

To Murphy's surprise, the ghosts in the village had also disappeared. Murphy searched for a long time but couldn't find a single ghost.

Either the Fiendfire could burn even ghosts to death, or the curse of the Seed of the Mind that sustained their existence had been broken, which also meant that the plague in the village had completely disappeared.

This was confirmed after soil and air samples were taken and tested at several locations.

Due to the extreme heat, there were no traces of life in the air, water, or even the topsoil, and the plague bacillus was undetectable.

Although there are certainly still plague bacteria in some hidden corners, at least leaving here now should not lead to a biohazard.

"Alright, we can go now." Murphy led Selica back to the basement.

"Hmm." After being healed, Serika had been a little awkward.

Murphy could understand this.

After all, he thought he was going to die, so he confessed his feelings without thinking and even asked for a kiss, showing that he was reckless.

As it turned out, the person didn't die, and now they don't know how to get their lost integrity back. It's embarrassing for anyone.

"However, before we leave, there is one last preparation we need to make."

"Hmm." Selica wasn't listening at all.

All she could think about right now was, "Let me die, let me die..."

"The plague bacillus in the outside environment has been eliminated. However, we are hiding in the basement, which has not been burned by the Fiery Cross, and since you were previously infected with the plague, there must still be a lot of bacteria left on your body."

"Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the outside world, we also need to undergo thorough disinfection, including our clothes, personal belongings, and so on."

"Now, take off all your clothes, we're going to burn them."

"Hmm." Celica hummed in response, then realized what she meant, "Huh?"

Murphy maintained a straight face, making it impossible to tell whether he was joking or not.

Selica hesitated for a long time, then suddenly said, "Then you need to disinfect too!"

"..."

"Um?"

This counterattack caught Murphy off guard. He had only wanted to tell the other party not to be so tense, but after taking a look at the other party's magnificent pectoral muscles, his initial motivation became somewhat unreliable.

So his gaze traveled downwards, sweeping over the rounded, pert curves, and finally landing on those plump legs that looked like they would feel great to the touch.

Are you serious?

Selica's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.

Who knows what I'm doing? Am I going crazy?

But she still nodded, blushing.

Murphy took out his suitcase, which he had set up as a bedroom with a large enough bed so that he could sleep comfortably in the wild.

"Then...would you like to go first?"
