Chapter 1450

Mai Chengxing looked at Maike and explained: "You think Gu worms are untraceable and unscientific, but in fact, this is very scientific."

As he spoke, Mai Chengxing further explained: "Gu worms feed on human brains, and they must be fresh human brains, which means that the person has just died not long ago. Although the human brain has been devoured by the Gu worm and lost the entire central nervous system, the body functions will not lose vitality immediately. It is just like a brain-dead person who often still has a heartbeat and blood circulation."

"The reason why Gu worms are magical is that after they devour the human brain, they can temporarily take over the human central nervous system and then perform simple control over the human body."

"Just like the security guard just now, he was controlled by the Gu worm to walk all the way, but because the person is already dead and the muscles are constantly stiffening, the movements look very stiff."

"You see he can only do basic movements like walking, opening doors, and waving, but he can't speak. This is mainly because the Gu worm itself cannot perform deep control over him and can only do some very simple movements under the drive of the Gu-raiser's mind."

Maike looked carefully at the security guard's back and hurriedly asked again: "Grandpa, can the Gu worm control this body forever?"

"Of course not." Mai Chengxing said seriously: "Not to mention that this body will gradually stiffen and rot, let alone the Gu worm itself. After it devours this person's brain, even if it immediately enters a dormant state, it can only last for a month at most. If it doesn't eat again within a month, it will starve to death."

Maike exclaimed: "It must eat again within a month, which means it must kill someone every month?!"

Mai Chengxing said coldly: "Killing one person a month is only if it enters a dormant state for this month. If the Gu-raiser keeps letting it kill everywhere, it might have to eat every few days..."

Maike looked horrified and said tremblingly: "This... behind every Gu worm is a bloody human life! I have never heard of anything more evil than this in my life..."

Mai Chengxing sighed: "That's because you haven't seen enough. There are plenty of things more evil than Gu worms."

The grandfather and grandson walked and talked, and soon reached the depths of the cemetery.

At this time, on an open space halfway up the mountain, a lean old man was sitting cross-legged in the middle.

This person was Xuan Fengnian.

Seeing Mai Chengxing and Maike walking to him, Xuan Fengnian said: "Old Master Mai, I have long admired your name."

Mai Chengxing hurriedly cupped his hands: "I have also heard of Master Xuan's name for a long time. It is said that Master Xuan shook the British Isles, and half of the Chinese in Europe hold Master Xuan in high esteem. Seeing you today, the master's demeanor is indeed extraordinary!"

Xuan Fengnian wiped an ugly smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Old Master Mai, it is a bit presumptuous to ask you to come here today. It is mainly because my life-bound Gu worm followed me from the UK to here and has been hungry for three days. I really can't bear to see it hungry again, so I brought it out to find something to eat. Please forgive me, Old Master!"

Hearing Xuan Fengnian describe the act of killing as bringing the Gu worm to find something to eat, Mai Chengxing felt disgusted to the extreme.

However, out of face and the strong aggressiveness of the other party, he just gave a dry laugh, avoided the topic of Gu worms, and said: "This place is sparsely populated, and it is indeed a good place to talk about business."

Xuan Fengnian nodded and said depressedly: "I thought this kind of place was absolutely a great place for Gu worms to eat their fill, but who the hell would have thought that such a large cemetery would have only one security guard? I think the developer of this cemetery is also stingy to the extreme!"

Mai Chengxing tightened his heart.

He understood Xuan Fengnian's words: "This guy must have thought there would be at least a few security guards here, and it's sparsely populated, so it's a good place to kill. As a result, he found only one security guard after coming here, so he was dissatisfied."

However, he didn't know how to answer this, so he could only give two dry laughs as a response.

Xuan Fengnian looked at the security guard who was standing still beside him, stretched out his hand, and suddenly shouted: "Come back!"

I saw a white worm as big as an adult sea cucumber crawling out of the security guard's hair. The worm was white and fat, with a huge mouth full of black broken teeth, and was covered with red and white things, looking extremely disgusting.

And after the worm crawled out of the security guard's head, it suddenly twisted its body, like a carp flipping, and flew into the air, flying straight into Xuan Fengnian's hand.

Xuan Fengnian held the fat worm in one hand and stroked it lovingly with the other.

And the worm rolled back and forth in his palm, making strange squeaking sounds.

Xuan Fengnian stroked it while chanting: "I know you are not full, don't worry, there is only this one today, I will find you something to eat tomorrow!"

Immediately after, the worm tossed and turned, squeaking like a mouse.

Xuan Fengnian raised his head, looked at Mai Chengxing and Maike, gave a dry laugh, and said to the worm: "These two are not your food, these are my friends, don't mess around, sleep well first, I will definitely let you eat your fill tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Mai Chengxing and Maike realized that the fat white worm actually wanted to eat them, and they suddenly felt a chill and cold back.

Seeing Xuan Fengnian put the worm into his arms, Mai Chengxing hurriedly got to the point and asked: "I don't know what Master Xuan wants from me by asking me to come over so late?"

Xuan Fengnian smiled gloomily and said: "Old Master Su called me again today. I can tell he is very angry and can't wait to find the hidden expert in Jin Ling and get rid of him."

After saying this, he added: "I am a person who is good at killing, not finding people, so if I keep looking for a needle in a haystack like this, I don't know when I will find that kid. So I have to ask Old Master Mai. After all, you can calculate, and you must be able to find more relevant clues."

Mai Chengxing asked in surprise: "How does Master Xuan know that the person we are looking for is a kid?"

Xuan Fengnian laughed: "Old Master Su called and said some new information. That kid is about twenty-five years old, at most thirty. His strength is very strong, at least stronger than the Jonin among the Japanese ninjas, and this person is very likely to be a Japanese-Chinese. Didn't he tell you these clues?"

Mai Chengxing shook his head and said: "Old Master Su has not contacted me in the past two days."

Xuan Fengnian nodded and added: "It is said that this person has an unusual relationship with Old Master Su's granddaughter, and it is very likely that they are a young couple in love."

"I wanted to grab his granddaughter and torture her to ask clearly, but that Old Master Su is afraid of wolves and tigers, insisting that he can't touch his granddaughter no matter what, so I can't find any breakthrough point."

"So I wanted to ask Old Master Mai to follow this line and check to see if you, a master who is proficient in I Ching, Eight Trigrams, and Feng Shui secret arts, can find some clues."

Speaking of this, Xuan Fengnian sighed and added: "Old Master Mai, both sides should work together to find that person and kill him early, so that we can go home and find our mothers early."

"In that way, I can complete the Su family's second task early and get the money back to the UK, and you can also return to your America early."
