Chapter 266: The Invisible Parasite
Ji Xiaoran only looked at the back of Qiqi who had been pressing her temples for a while, and just wanted to say that she was pressing, but she saw him fall straight over.
The glass fell to the floor, and the liquid inside was spilled.
"Ah Ng!" Ji Xiaoran immediately rushed over, touched the other party's hot face, and immediately looked at Dan Lao.
What caught his eye was the old man's puzzled and panicked face, "Although I am wine, the degree is not high, and people who have been transformed can still get drunk?" ”
Dan Lao landed directly beside Qi Qi, and his fingertips directly pinched the formation, and he saw a trace of blue mist coming out of Qi Qi's body, which gathered and condensed in mid-air, converging into a translucent blue liquid.
But the forcible introduction of the soul brew did not make the state of Qi Qi better, but the expression on his face was even more painful, and the green tendons on his forehead had all flared up.
"What's going on?" Dan Lao's face was also full of puzzlement, he put the back of his hand on his forehead, and the blue gas on the old rough palm was covered, and there was a chill that Ji Xiaoran could feel.
This is forcibly cooling the other party.
Qi Qi's face seemed to soften, but the old man's face became more and more solemn.
I saw him stand up and walk directly to the outside of his wooden house, and his cane fell into his palm with a wave of his hand, pointing to the sky and shouting, "Candle Yin!" Don't look at it, something happened to your son! ”
A red mist immediately filled the outside world, and what came out of it was indeed a candle shade, and I could see that his face was very unsightly, "I know that you old guy is not reliable at all." ”
"What do you mean I'm unreliable?! The kid's problem is a legacy at first glance! ”
Candle Yin walked in directly in front of the person at the entrance, and when he saw Qiqi, he immediately understood what was going on, "Is this an outbreak of stimulation?" ”
The reason why he acquiesced to Qi Pi coming to the Styx was just that he thought that Old Man Dan would definitely be in a situation where no one had come for a long time, so he gave him a taste of soul brewing, hoping to erase the trace of strangeness in Qi Qi's mind.
But it also proved that it was not a residue left after the use of medicine, but something really rooted in the head of the monkey.
Dan Lao's words also confirm this point.
"It's normal that you can't notice it, the thing doesn't detect entities at all, but it can occasionally stimulate him to control his behavior."
In Ji Xiaoran's cognition, the behavior of the fetish is nothing more than receiving a weak electrical signal from the brain to control, and it is thought that the substance secreted by a certain creature residing in the brain of the dragon at the moment can modify the bioelectric signal to a certain extent.
Or it is directly encased on the surface of the cranial nerve and interferes with the behavior of cells.
Cell-level things, Ji Xiaoran felt that it was reasonable that they couldn't detect them with their so-called spiritual power or spiritual power.
"Is there a way to get rid of him?" The candleshade flattened the body of the Monkey so that he could be slightly more comfortable.
"It's hard." Dan Lao shook his head, "Directly parasitic in his mind, it is equivalent to a part of his body." Even if he tried to force it out, it would inevitably hurt his mind and consciousness. ”
If it was an ordinary person, it might be better, but for a person like Qi Pi who studied the formation, once his consciousness was damaged, his future would not only be unable to improve by half a point, but would even degenerate.
That kind of damage is something that even God can't reverse or repair.
"I'll take him back." Candle Yin picked him up, and as soon as his consciousness moved, he caught the small wine jug thrown by Dan Lao.
"Drinking a little soul brew every day is conducive to nourishing his spiritual power without stimulating the other party, it will be good for him."
"Thank you, seniors." Candle Yin nodded at him, and strode out, "Girl, you grab his clothes." ”
"Now I know that I am called a senior." Dan Lao snorted, and then suddenly reacted, "Who is the girl?" ”
This time, the time of Qiqi was in a coma was very long, and Candle Yin took him directly to the wooden house under the mountain, so that Ji Xiaoran could see the rapid alternation of the sun and moon outside the house.
This is not due to the time of the candlestick.
The prolonged lethargy caused not only the weakening of her own consciousness, but also her body weakening day by day. By now, her silhouette had begun to blur at the edges, and she looked even lighter than when she first appeared in Zhang Su.
This is still the result of the drum feeding a cup of soul brew to the Qiqi every day.
It wasn't until the tenth day had passed that the sleepy man woke up faintly, and what he saw was a blurry golden light, not even the size of a human form, like a fluffy ball of light floating in the air.
"Xiao Ran?" He struggled to get up, but before he could straighten his arms, he could go down, disturbing the people outside.
Candle Yin pushed open the door and walked in, and sighed when he saw his embarrassed appearance.
A gust of wind appeared in the house, gently helping the Qiqi up.
"Father, what's wrong with me?"
He couldn't see it himself, but the others looked very distressed. It can be regarded as not eating or drinking for more than ten days, and when he wakes up at this moment, not only is his face pale and his lips are dry, but his cheekbones are also protruding a lot due to facial emaciation, and even his eyes have lost their former translucency, looking cloudy. TV debut
Candle Yin sighed and told him Dan Lao's inference, but there was no emotion on the face of the person concerned.
"So, am I going to die?" After listening to this, Qi Pi just asked.
"Not yet." Candlestick didn't hesitate, "At most, it should only replace your conscious control of your body, and it doesn't seem to be able to erase your power at the moment." ”
"Not at the moment, so it's still possible in the future." Although this sentence was whispered, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Seeing Qi Qi looking at him, Ji Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said, "There is a precious medicinal herb in the world, called Cordyceps. In the winter, it is still a bug, and in the summer, it turns into grass because of a fungus called Cordyceps fungus. It is said that when its spores parasitize the insects, they first control their consciousness, manipulate them to a suitable place for their growth, and then completely kill the insects in a place where the sunlight, humidity, and temperature are suitable, and finally turn into a grass. ”
"I've seen something like that. In the woods, slender branches can occasionally be seen growing on worms or the carcasses of spiders and ants. I guess it was a similar cordyceps fungus that killed them. The calmer the voice, the more it made the others sound a little flustered, "Is this saying that I am now like a worm parasitized by the Cordyceps fungus, which has begun to suppress my consciousness and control my body." When the time is right, the environment is right, and it will kill me? ”
"I'm not going to allow that to happen." Candle Yin directly interrupted his words.
