Chapter 375

But today they had eaten and drunk enough, and slept soundly and soundly. When Lin and Xiye opened the lock from outside and came in, they were lying on the bed without any reaction.

When they were not crazy, they still maintained their rationality and emotions as human beings.

Fei Miao tied up a person and took him away, and locked the door again.

The guards had locked up all Qi Yu. Lin found a cell at random and asked Fei Miao to throw the person to the ground. The other party woke up, rubbed his eyes and looked at the few people in a daze, and then his face was alert.

"Outsiders, what do you want to do."

Iris released the purification spell without saying a word.

The light fell on him, and the other party went from panic to anxiety. He struggled violently with an uneasy look, and his fingers grasped the ground tightly.

Soon he gritted his teeth, raised his head in pain, and his voice gradually became unhuman.

Black blood vessels emerged, and the originally healthy skin color appeared with black air, which disappeared layer by layer after encountering the light of the purification spell.

Black lines covered his body, fangs extended from his lips, and a pair of wings behind him grew from small to large. The tips of the wings tore through his clothes, opened from the gap, and broke the rope.

Those were a pair of black bat wings similar to bat wings, but with bone spurs at the joints.

Fei Miao drew his sword from its sheath, and the wind blade cut the opponent's wings into rags. At the same time, a sword penetrated the opponent's shoulder bone and nailed him to the floor.

The screams of pain became louder and louder, and after ten minutes, they became weaker and weaker. The black blood vessels returned to their normal color little by little and disappeared under the skin.

Finally, the wings turned into a pool of black mucus that covered his body and flowed to the ground.

The man's originally painful expression gradually softened, and finally he fell asleep.

Lin supported Iris, who was pale and unstable in the battle.

"Silly roe deer, how is it?"

Chapter 22 The final truth

"It can be suppressed, but my level is too low, so it cannot be completely purified. Holy water will definitely work."

Iris answered seriously.

Rin gently pinched her little face: "I asked about your health, why are you being silly?"

Iris's originally pale little face was slightly flushed, and she rubbed Rin's shoulder, her voice still tired.

"It's okay, it's just that the magic power is over-consumed, and I'm a little tired."

Because of the heavy mood, the silly roe deer did not take the initiative to ask for magic replenishment as usual.

Rin consciously pinched her little chin and kissed her to help her restore her magic power.

Emilia stared at the gate for a while, then turned around and said, "Just lock them up here first."

Rin let go of the silly roe deer, wiped his mouth, and then said, "It can only be done this way. When Qiyu and Xiye come back, it doesn't matter even if they are violent."

"Xiao Lin, there is also the one who has been infected by the parasite."

"Qiyu will not forget, let's find a place to rest first."

It just so happened that Rin also needed time to sort out the clues. The amount of information obtained during this period of time was too much, and it would not work if he didn't sort it out.

Besides, I always felt that something was wrong.

Rin chose to rest in Tegoshi's small villa, and he could also search for related letters and experimental reports.

Before leaving, he also checked the dormitory of the blood plague carriers and made sure that the door was locked before leaving.

When he arrived at the villa, there was no one left in the villa. Rin found an unoccupied guest room, changed the sheets and bedding, let Iris and Feimiao rest, and went to the study where he met Tegoshi before.

As soon as he entered the study, Rin moved lightly and searched carefully.

Some black magicians are good at setting up witchcraft traps, so you should pay special attention.

Rin first came to the desk, opened the drawers one by one, and found two ordinary letters.

One of the ordinary letters came from a person named Ziyuanniao. In the letter, this person expressed his interest in the blood plague technique and promised that if Tegoshi could tell him, they could offer a higher price than his current employer.

The letter did not have the other party's address. It was obviously not a letter delivered through public channels, but a private one. It was unknown how Tegoshi contacted him.

The other one came from a chamber of commerce called Loki. The head of the chamber of commerce expressed the hope to continue the specialty trade.

It did not mention what the specialty referred to. According to Rin's guess, it should be Bukabu fruit, and it was also not sent through the official post office.

In the postal system of various countries, only family letters that do not involve confidentiality will be delivered in this way, otherwise they will be stamped with magic stamps and hired adventurers or ships to bring them along.

However, this type of letter is either left aside because Tegoshi does not care at all, or it was sent recently and has not been destroyed in time.

Lin put away the two letters and finally looked at a box with a rune lock. He was not a rune master, so he didn't dare to try it easily to prevent automatic destruction.

Anyway, there was an almighty demon king at home.

He wanted to take the box away, but found that it couldn't be put into the space ring at all. Lin could only put it aside temporarily and continue searching in the study. In the end, all he found were some experimental data reports.

Not finding any important clues, Lin slapped his head suddenly and remembered that there was still Tegoshi's space ring.

He was so angry before that he actually forgot such an important thing.

He didn't think about it. If there was really something important, who would put it directly where people could see it?

I guess that the rune box was not allowed to be put in because there were space-type items in it.

All of their space storage devices have many limitations. Unlike Qiyu, who can directly open a space crack and mark it, everything can be put inside.

Rin originally wanted to go get the ring directly, but then she thought about it, everyone had been cleared out anyway, and she couldn't run away if she left it there, so she could get it back later.

So he calmed down and continued searching to see if he could find any secret room.

More than an hour later, Qiyu returned alone and appeared in front of Rin directly through space teleportation.

Before Rin could speak, the Demon King had already grabbed his wrist.

"Junior, there is something I need you to come and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rin's vision had already plunged into darkness. The momentary dizziness quickly passed, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of a residential house.

The house is relatively remote. It is located on a fairly high island. There is not a single house within a hundred meters around it. There is a small empty vegetable patch in front of the door.

The lights in the room were on, and the knitwear hanging could be seen through the window. After thinking about it for a moment, Rin understood what was going on.

Opening the door and walking through the entrance hall, there were two people sitting on the sofa in the spacious living room. One was the sword master he raised, and the other was a woman with red and swollen eyes and a frightened look on her face. She was really Boer.

Qiyu said briefly: "Junior, you decide whether to inform him of the facts."

Rin was about to say something when a shrill scream suddenly came from the ground, followed by the sound of scratching metal and nervous chatter.

"Mom, let me out, Mom, I'm so hungry... How could you unite with outsiders to do this to me, Mom!"

The sound came from the basement, and because it was underground, people farther away could not hear it at all.

"When we arrived, it had already started attacking people in a frenzied manner. We subdued it again and tied it up and locked it underneath."

Boer muttered to himself, then covered his face and cried bitterly: "Just like last time, it will be like this when it is hungry. That time it escaped and came back covered in blood."

Xiye sighed: "Brother... no matter what, he is her biological son, so I still have to tell..."

"No...it's not! It's just a monster that took over my son's body!"

When Boer heard the words, he seemed to be stimulated and objected sharply. Then he realized that he was a little rude and shrank his neck, but his eyes became even redder.

"It's definitely not... not my son, otherwise why would he not remember so many things, not even his biological brother."

Rin suddenly asked in confusion: "Do you have a son?"

Boer took a deep breath and looked sad: "I have a little son. How could he not remember Joey?"

Qiyu narrowed his eyes: "Can you elaborate?"

Boer seemed to believe that these outsiders who saved her were all good people, and they were willing to believe what she said, so he explained.

"My husband passed away eight years ago, and everything in the family was used to pay off debts. I took my two sons back to the island where my grandparents once lived. They died many years ago, leaving only an empty house. House.

After that, I raised the child alone. My younger son was born stupid. As a foreigner, I was afraid that others would bully him, so I kept him at home and never went out. At that time, there were only a dozen people on the island, and no one knew him.

Within two years, the Holy Spirit came. Soon there were more and more talented people on the island, and I was even more afraid to let my youngest son go out. Then one night he sneaked out and never came back.

We searched everywhere on the island, but couldn't find any trace. Others said... he must have been swept into the sea by the waves and died.

Joey had a very good relationship with his brother. He always blamed himself for not taking good care of his brother, so he chose to be a guard. How could he forget his biological brother? "

Xiye asked at this time: "What's your little son's name?"

When Boer talked about his youngest son, he burst into tears: "Glion, he has never been able to pronounce his own name well, and always calls him An'an, so we just call him An'an as his nickname."

So that’s it!

An An turned out to be her son... In other words, he didn't disappear at all, but was captured for experiments.

Rin did not tell her the news about An An for the time being, but continued to ask: "So... he doesn't even know his brother?"

After saying that, he realized something was wrong.

According to Jason, this parasite is different from corpse bugs. It can reawaken people's brain nerves, allowing people to maintain their original state, be able to think normally, and of course have memories.

Is it due to memory loss due to death, or is it due to something else?

Just as Rin was thinking about it, Boer threw out another piece of evidence: "And... my Joey, he should be dead..."

As she spoke, she took out a crumpled letter from the desk drawer.

"This is his suicide note."

Rin took the suicide note and unfolded it, and the two heads immediately came over.

After reading the letter, Lin clarified the cause and effect, and also understood why Boer did not use the letter as evidence to go to the Holy Spirit Society.

Joey wrote in his suicide note that after he was transferred away by another adult on the island, he discovered a shocking secret.

He also said that the people who dominate the island, including the Holy Spirit Society, are all a bunch of heartless beasts.

He joined the guard originally because he wanted to avoid his brother's tragedy, protect the island, and eliminate the bandits. Unexpectedly, he continued to help the evildoers, and he was very angry and sad for this.

The suicide note also mentioned that he saw a person who looked like his younger brother and met a companion. He decided to rescue the two of them and send them off the island.

Finally, he said that he was sorry for his mother and that there was a high probability that he would never come back, but he had already discussed it with his companion, and that person would definitely come back with someone to rescue his mother.

He hoped that his mother would forgive him for his unfilial piety and destroy the letter after reading it.

"He came back before I burned him... When I came back that day, I was ecstatic and thought he had successfully escaped, so I asked him what happened, but he didn't seem to remember this at all and was all wet. He was still in a daze and said nothing.”

Speaking of this, Boer showed a trace of fear: "I got him hot water to take a bath, and he took off his shirt, and then I saw that there was such a deep wound on his body. I was frightened and thought about bandaging him at close range. When I looked at it, I realized that the wound had healed on its own and had recovered the next morning.

He behaved the same as usual at that time. Although I was a little skeptical, I was still happy, but then his behavior became more and more strange.

I can't remember many things. When I ask him, he will change the topic, always answer with some repetitive words, and he keeps trying to please me after that... Joey is a boring gourd, and he won't do that at all. This strange feeling is not at all It's not like my son, it's like someone is living with me under his skin. "

"It must be Jason and that Tekoshi who killed my son!"

After listening to this, Rin already connected all the clues in her head.

Joey was probably transferred away by Shou Yue because he was too dull and hard-working, and then he accidentally discovered the secret of the experiment, and also met A Yang and An An, who were taken away for the experiment.

Because An An was suspected of being his younger brother, and because of his strong sense of guilt, he chose to risk his life to rescue the two of them.

On the way to escape, he was fatally injured, possibly dead or dying, and was discovered by Jason, who happened to have the spores transplanted.

So here’s the problem. If something like this happens on the originally peaceful island, it’s impossible for Jason not to investigate...

In other words, he was most likely aware of it, and could at least guess part of it, but he was just pretending not to know. What Tekoshi said before was absolutely correct.

One more thing...

"This parasite..."

"Maybe Jason was wrong about it."

Rin and Qiyu's voices sounded at the same time. Qiyu glanced at Rin and motioned for him to speak first.

Rin touched his chin: "I think it actually has the same characteristics as the corpse worm. It absorbs the memory of the deceased and tries to imitate it. It's just that it is much more advanced than the corpse worm. Unless it is extremely hungry, it will remain as it was when the deceased was alive. status.”

Qiyu added: "Like the corpse worm, its biggest weakness is its inability to fully absorb memories."

After saying that, both of them seemed to be relieved.

To be honest, Rin was a little skeptical when he heard that he could survive with the help of a living thing, because Fei Miao had identified it as just a moving corpse.

Even Qi Yu didn't quite believe it, because if the deceased had the ability to think for himself, her mind-reading skills would not be able to respond.

Now this guess is more reasonable.
