Chapter 368

"The incompetent hero."

Qiyu is relatively simple, directly rising from skills to himself.

"You can't see the ones with higher levels, you can't see the new ones, you can't see the ones that are too old, you can't see them even if they are covered by props."

Fei Miao immediately retorted: "He's better than you, invisible, still young, and evil-minded."

Qiyu was hit on a painful spot, and he fell into Lin's arms with another burst of moaning.

"Junior, did I fail to do something well? Lord Brave, why does she always say that? How can I have any bad intentions? I just feel sorry for my junior."

Rin rolled his eyes and pushed her head away: "I think you just have too much time."

Qiyu raised his head with a smile; "If I weren't so busy, why would I come here to play this kind of spy game with my junior?"

"Tsk."

Rin didn't refute. He touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "In other words, this blood epidemic is either a newly discovered virus... um, a disease, or it is too old or of a very high level."

As for what kind it is, there is no way of knowing, but it is indeed a very valuable clue.

However, the fragments in Rin's mind were still too few and too messy to be put together.

"By the way, are the islanders also suffering from blood plague?"

Fei Miao shook his head: "Looking all the way, there are only those outside, training, and some guards."

"That woman who said she was mentally ill, her son is also a blood plague patient?"

"no."

Fei Miao quickly rejected it first, and then said word by word: "He is already dead."

Silly Roe Deer interjected: "Are they the undead?"

"No, dead."

Rin could understand what Fei Miao meant. When he died, he was completely dead. Even if he was an undead, Fei Miao could read it through his observation eye.

Only the completely dead body, Fei Miao could not see anything.

Qi Yu frowned: "In other words, a corpse is moving on its own in broad daylight?"

As soon as these words came out, Rin felt a cold wind blowing behind him, and his hair stood on his head.

Damn it, what a ghost in broad daylight?

No, even the observation eyes of Gui Fei Miao can still give data. This is seeing a living corpse in broad daylight!

"Wow! Rin-chan!"

Silly Roe Deer put his head into Lin's arms at that time: "When I think of that aunt, staying with the dead body, and others don't believe what she said, it feels so scary!"

"The corpse... is moving... like this." Xiye also murmured to herself.

Fei Miao tilted his head and stared at the people for a long time before adding: "There is something in the body, full of question marks, I can't see it."

Rin then reacted: "So...it must be controlled by unknown things. Let me just say that it is completely unreasonable for a dead body to walk around in broad daylight."

Qi Yu thought about it carefully and said: "The one who can control the corpse is a skill, such as the manipulation of the necromancer, and the other is a parasitic monster. Since it can be seen on the corpse, it should be the latter, but this one The stupid cat’s ability is too weak to distinguish.”

Rin now has one head and two big heads: "What's going on? Now there's vampires, now there's blood plague, and now there's parasites. Could it be that they were all experimented with?"

The Lord Demon King also fell into deep thought. She had already inferred the blood plague through mind reading, but she could not read about this parasitic monster from Jason and Harry.

I don’t know if the two of them didn’t know about it, or if they didn’t think about it at all at the time.

When Xiye heard the sentence "dead body", she fell into deep thought and memories.

After a moment, she raised her head and said, "About this, I once encountered a similar thing."

Lin immediately cheered up: "What's the matter?

Xiye's originally soft eyes became a little deeper. After organizing her words for a while, she slowly spoke.

"I remember it was the summer two years ago. I received an order to hunt down a spy who secretly sneaked into Phoenix's house, stole secrets, and escaped.

He was only level 30, but he was very good at evading and running away. It took me several days to kill him.

I found him near a village. After completing the mission, I returned to the village. "

Speaking of this, Xiye's tone was low and cold: "It was evening, and every house in the village was closed. I was going to find a house to knock on the door, but suddenly I saw a figure on the road.

The figure had his back to me, his body was stooped, and he looked quite young. His walking posture was stiff, swaying from side to side, and he walked forward slowly.

I thought he was drunk, but it happened to be too late and everyone in the village was asleep, so I wanted to find him to see if I could stay overnight.

When I got close to him, his swaying body suddenly stopped, and then turned around little by little..."

At this moment, there was only a faint light coming from the window suddenly disappeared, and the room was dark. At the same time, there was a small sound like a ghost crying brought by the gusts of wind.

Elise screamed, hiding in Rin's arms and shivering, her hair spinning around.

Rin was also startled and quickly looked at the window, but what he saw was the darkness outside the window.

He came back to his senses and immediately glared at Qi Yu fiercely.

Qiyu stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that, junior, how could I have any bad intentions? Isn't this just to heighten the atmosphere?"

Xiye asked calmly: "Are you still listening?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, regardless of the terrifying atmosphere deliberately created by the bad fox, and looked expectantly at the pair of red star eyes in the darkness.

"What turned around was the face of an old man, who looked to be in his sixties. There was no expression on his face at all. I could see that his eyes were white.

I thought he had an eye problem, so I asked him about accommodation.

He didn't say anything, turned his head slowly, and then continued to stagger forward.

At that time, I thought there was something wrong with him, so I kept following him and observing... Well, even though he was moving, his stiff body and weird posture didn't look like a living person at all.

Not long after walking, he stopped in front of a house and knocked on the door. It didn't take long for someone to open the door for him. "

Xiye said, shaking her head: "Just because someone opened the door for him and welcomed him into the house, all my doubts disappeared.

I walked over and saw that they were indeed a relatively normal family, so I stayed at their house that night.

Nothing was out of the ordinary the whole night until the next day when I saw the person who was walking with a strange posture last night.

He looked completely different from his appearance at night. He looked very fresh, with a natural expression, and was chatting with his family.

He mentioned that he had seen him last night, but he had no memory at all. When he asked his children, they said that the old man was a bit sleepwalking.

I really didn’t think much about it at that time.

After that... I was about to leave for the day, but suddenly I heard someone say that his cow died and seemed to have been bitten by a wild beast.

After checking the corpse, it was indeed true. I was worried that there would be monsters attacking the villagers, so I stayed here temporarily and thought about getting rid of the monsters first.

That same night, the old man from that family went out again, still with a strange swaying posture and a dull expression that ignored no one. He was completely different from the person he was during the day.

I said there might be wild animals nearby and it would be inconvenient for the old man to go out alone. The family ignored me and the old man at all.

I had no choice but to go out and follow him, and I saw with my own eyes that he got into a pig shed and attacked livestock.

He was obviously just a sleepwalking old man, but his burst of power exceeded that of an adult, and even reached the level of a warrior in his teens and twenties.

After he knocked down the livestock, he bit and sucked the flesh. I controlled him and took him home to ask what happened. "

Chapter 15 The Holy Spirit and Ordinations

Elise's hair trembled, feeling that Xiye's story was not as scary as she imagined.

What really frightened her was the evil wind and ghost cries specially created by the evil devil.

So she shrank into Rin's arms again.

Fei Miao's azure eyes, with a faint light in the darkness, stared at Elise who was taking advantage of the opportunity to stick to her, and moved her pp closer to her quietly.

Rin touched his chin, and like the silly roe deer, he felt that what Xiye said was indeed not very scary.

Sword Master Girl does not specifically create an atmosphere of horror and suspense. It just uses declarative sentences to relay what happened at that time, which is not a ghost story.

"What happened next? What was the whole story?"

“The family was reluctant to tell them at first, but later the village chief who came after hearing the news asked about it, and then they were willing to confess.

It turned out that the old man and his young daughter went into the mountain to collect medicine three days ago, and the man disappeared after rolling down the cliff. The young daughter returned home in a hurry, and the family called relatives and friends to collect the body. However, they searched for a long time during the day but could not find the body.

They had no choice but to go home first. They heard someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night. When they opened the door, they saw the old man standing at the door.

His body was in tatters and there were blood stains on his mouth. He looked as dull as I had encountered before. After he came back, he fell asleep.

He was back to normal the next day, and everyone in his family thought he had survived the disaster, so they were very happy.

But then they discovered that something was wrong. The old man was doing well during the day, but at night he seemed to be a different person. He had to go out and no one could stop him. He would come back before dawn.

If you stop him and prevent him from going out, he will bite everyone he sees, just like a wild animal. In desperation, the family has no choice but to let him go out.

The family knew that there was something wrong with their father and grandfather, but when they saw him acting as usual during the day, none of them were willing to admit it. "

When Xiye said this, she paused and was about to pour herself a glass of water when Rin had already handed the glass over. She took the glass and drank a few sips happily, moistened her throat before continuing.

The silly roe deer pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a pair of hands on my shoulders from behind, and at the same time, there was a smooth but sudden "ah" in my ears.

The silly roe deer screamed in fright and tried to get into Lin's arms, but was dragged out directly by the person behind him.

"Xiao Lin, help me! Wow! There's a ghost!"

Rin's head was covered with black lines, and she reached out and gave Feimiao a blow with the knife.

"Why are you scaring people when you have nothing to do?"

Elise turned her head with tears in her eyes and saw a familiar pair of eyes. She was so angry that she rushed forward with tears in her eyes and threw the useless cat to the ground.

The two little girls started to fight, and Rin was a little confused and said, "Ignore them, just keep talking."

"Ah...Okay, I can't tell what's going on, so I'll discuss with the village chief to lock up the old man and see what's going on at night.

On the first night, he kept banging on the door to leave, and kept making an angry roar like a beast. It lasted all night and stopped before dawn, and then slept all day long.

The next night, I tried to break out again. I was even stronger than yesterday and broke the door directly. I could only catch him, trap him tightly and put him in an iron cage.

During this period, he kept trying to attack people and was extremely vicious, but he seemed to be exhausted and stopped in the middle of the night.

On the third day, he kept begging to be released. His eldest son couldn't bear it and wanted to release him secretly. When he opened the iron cage and was about to untie him, he was bitten by the old man and his whole ear was gone.

I rushed over immediately after hearing the screams. What I saw was the old man chewing his ear with a satisfied look on his face. The villagers were scared, including his family members, and they dared not get close again.

He sat there wailing and begging for a whole day as if nothing had happened. At night, I kept guarding the iron cage.

He struggled hard for a while, as if he had exhausted all his strength. After twitching all over, a blood-red worm crawled out of his mouth.

It was as long as an index finger, with many limbs, and some looked like centipedes. It fled out as soon as it left the body. After being cut off by my sword, the upper body could still walk. After being cut into several pieces, it died completely.

As soon as it left, the old man died. It was summer at that time, and his body began to rot quickly. The villagers cremated him and buried him hastily.

After I went back, I asked the people of the Phoenix family, and they all said it was a parasitic monster, but they couldn't answer what it was called. "

After Xiye finished the story, he looked at Qiyu, hoping to get some scientific knowledge from her.

The Demon King really lived up to expectations and said, "According to your description, this parasite is a zombie centipede. This is the local name, and there is no common scientific name."

Rin found the key point from her words and said strangely, "Since there is no scientific name, it means that it is a rare insect, and it is only distributed locally, right?"

"You are worthy of being a junior, much smarter than some stupid cats, stupid roe deer, and stupid dogs."

Qiyu looked at him with appreciation, and belittled the other three girls by the way.

Then she continued, "Zombie centipedes grow in the tropical rainforest of Malay Island south of the Demon Shell Continent. They can only grow normally in a humid and hot climate.

It is a hermaphrodite. The adult insects are very fragile and difficult to move during the egg-laying period. They also need extremely large amounts of nutrients. For this reason, they will hunt with the help of dead animals to provide nutrition.

After laying eggs, the worms will die. After the larvae hatch, they will leave the corpse and grow in the swamp or rotten leaves.

They also have a very special ability, which is that when manipulating corpses, they can use the ability to drill into the brain to grab memories and disguise the corpse as if it were alive. They can imitate even higher creatures with complex behaviors such as humans.

However, when they are hungry and hunting at night, they can't remember to use it at all. After all, no matter how smart it is, it is just a worm, which is why it looks very different between day and night. "

After listening to this, Lin suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp. He rubbed his arms and felt that this thing was even more terrifying than a zombie. Fortunately, it only parasitized on the dead and died quickly, otherwise it would be invincible.

After Qiyu finished speaking, he thought for a while and asked: "Where did you meet it?"

"The border of Giorar."
