In one of the rooms of the manor, Giles walked to the middle and clapped his palms. The floor of the room was raised, and then it was opened to both sides, and a black iron coffin rose up.

There is a sculpture of an angel on each of the four corners of the iron coffin, except that the angels are bound in chains with painful expressions, and the base is carved with flames, as if these angels have fallen into hell and are being burned by the flames of hell.

Giles touched the cold lid of the iron coffin and said, "An Kexin came to me today, and she lost something. Night stalkers have been moving around lately, and they've lost an item as well. I don't know what An Kexin lost, but I do know that the night stalker lost a device, and it only pointed to the instrument in one place. ”

"In that place, it seems that traces of the Worm King can be found, no matter what, I want to go and meet the so-called Blood Demon Worm King."

Gilles leaned against the iron coffin, clasping the side of the coffin with both hands, and resting his head on the cold lid of the coffin, as if clinging to his lover's face.

He stared into the distance, as if his gaze had penetrated time.

On the same day that Ankexin arrived in Auroville.

That night, the Sally stopped on the sea, and Lin Ci walked into the cabin and walked down the stairs to Lao Xia's room. Pushing open the door, the light in the door was dim, and Lao Xia was sleeping.

He recuperated for two days and was much better, but he still needed to recuperate for a while before he could get out of bed. When Lin Ci saw that he was asleep, he wanted to leave, but he seemed to hear the movement and woke up.

"Lin Xi?"

"You sleep, I'll see you, it's fine."

"No, just sit down when you come." Lao Xia is open-minded, and although he is seriously injured, he is optimistic.

Lin Xi sat down on the side of his bed and said, "Winnie said, you can get out of bed and walk around for a few more days." ”

Lao Xia said: "Yes, but these few days have been really difficult. ”

"It's a pity that the network is down now, otherwise you can watch TV or something." Lin Ci glanced at the invalid TV in the rest cabin and said, "Otherwise, I'll find you a few books to pass the time?" ”

"Let's talk about it." Lao Xia said: "I really want to thank you this time, Lin Ci." If it weren't for you, my brother's life would have been confessed. ”

Lin Ci shook his head, "I didn't do anything, you have to thank Xie Weini, she rescued you." ”

"I want to thank you both, if you hadn't brought people to that hellish place, God knows where I would still be now."

The next day, Lin Ci suddenly woke up, and a strange feeling surged in his body, a bit like the discovery of a different species by blood devouring, but it was not so strong. This feeling was fleeting, and even Lin Ci didn't have time to feel more.

He was so distraught that he ran up and down the Sally, not even the warehouse, and finally found nothing.

He returns to the cabin, where Twilight and Winnie and the others come in.

"What are you doing?" Twilight Xue asked, looking at Lin Ci's strange behavior.

Lin Ci shook his head, and just wanted to say that it was nothing, when suddenly Lao Xia's voice came from the door: "Everyone, I'm really starving, is there anything to eat?" ”

"Old Xia?" Chen Hu was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Why are you up, you still have to lie down for a few more days, don't be in a hurry to get out of bed." ”

He hurriedly went over to help Lao Xia.

Lao Xia waved his hand and smiled: "Don't get in the way, I feel good today, so I'll get out of bed and take a walk." You see, I can walk and jump, and what's the matter. After saying that, he really jumped a few times, which startled Chen Hu.

Everyone hurriedly gave up a seat for Lao Xia to take a seat, and Alice pushed milk, bread and fried sausages in front of him and said, "You see if it's enough, and then tell me if it's enough." ”

"Well, thank you, Alice, you're such a good girl."

Alice blinked, "I know it without you saying it." ”

Everyone laughed, Lao Xia was not polite, picked up a piece of bread and took a bite, and sighed: "I have been in bed for the past two days, I feel much better when I get up today, and I am hungry, now give me a cow, I guess I can eat it." ”

Lin Ci looked up, and saw that Lao Xia's expression seemed to become very strange for a moment. But it could be his delusion.

Lao Xia devoured the food, disappeared the bread in a moment, stuffed a few fried sausages into his stomach, and then took the cup and drank the milk inside.

Lin Ci and the others were talking about the next route, looking at Lao Xia from time to time, only to feel that his appearance today was a little strange. Suddenly, Lin Ci frowned and said, "Old Xia, are you very hot?" Look at you sweaty. ”

Lao Xia was sweating profusely, and even his shirt was wet. Thoroughly, he laughed and said: "It's quite hot, it's not summer now, aren't you all hot?" ”

Although the others were wearing tank tops and shorts, and there were some beads of sweat on their faces, they were definitely not as exaggerated as Lao Xia. Lao Xia seemed to be fished out of the water, he didn't seem to care, seeing that Alice still had some sausages and bread left over on his plate.

Lao Xia swallowed his saliva and said, "Alice, aren't you eating?" This food is so precious now that it can't be eaten and wasted. Why don't I eat it for you? ”

Alice blushed, but she really couldn't eat it, so she could only nod and say, "Then you can do whatever you want." ”

Unexpectedly, Lao Xia suddenly reached out and grabbed the plate, picked up half of the sausage and threw it into his mouth, chewing while saying, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not as particular as you young people." ”

Winnie stood up, shook her head and said, "Lao Xia, something seems wrong with you, why don't I check it for you." ”

She walked over to Lao Xia, and when her hand was about to touch Lao Xia, Lao Xia suddenly pushed her away and said, "Don't touch me, I'm not sick!" I'm in good health, don't I just be hungry and want to eat more, you don't have to be so nervous. ”

With that, he left the dining room and went to the deck with his plate to eat himself.

Winnie looked at her hands, which were full of sticky liquid, like sweat, but not quite like them. She frowned, and suddenly looked at the others: "Lao Xia is a little abnormal. ”

Lin Ci stood up and said to Chen Hu: "Brother Chen, you have to look at him, Winnie is right, Lao Xia still needs to rest, you ask him to make up some water and then go back to the room to lie down, and let Winnie go to check him down." ”

Chen Hu nodded, "Leave it to me." ”

Chen Hu walked out of the dining room and came to the deck. Lao Xia had already finished eating, and he still put his hand to his mouth and licked it, feeling like he was still at the end of his life. Chen Hu walked up to him and sat down and said, "Lao Xia, come in with me to drink some water?" ”

"What did you say?" Lao Xia raised his head and laughed: "Drink water? Now we're at sea, and there's no water to drink anywhere, you see......"

He stood up and jumped into the sea. Chen Hu was startled, ran to the deck and said, "Old Xia, how are you, come up." ”

After a while, Lao Xia emerged from the water, spurted out a bloody arrow, and then laughed: "Look, brother. I'm fine, I'm in good spirits now, I feel like I can swim back all the way back here. ”

He really swam twice in the water before coming up, Chen Hu shook his head, found him a towel and said, "Wipe it quickly, Lao Xia, you are too excited, now go back to the room and rest." I'll let Winnie check it out for you, and if it's really fine, won't everyone be happy. ”

"Okay, listen to you. I said it's okay, you don't believe it, so let's have Dr. Winnie take a look. He wiped his face with a towel and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first." ”

After breakfast, the Sally set off for it. The engine started and the yacht began to move along the course, Winnie took a medical kit, found Lin Ci and said, "You have to come with me." ”

Lin Ci smiled and said, "You really think Lao Xia is a monster." ”

"You also saw him so strange in the morning, I said, will he be parasitized?"

At the end of the words, I heard Chen Hu say a little angrily: "What did you say? You say Lao Xia is parasitized? ”

Chen Hu strode over and said: "Lao Xia is a little excited at the beginning of his serious illness, yes, it looks a little strange, but it is ridiculous to say that he is parasitic." Lao Xia has been with us all the time, how can he be parasitized! ”

Winnie shook her head and said, "I'm just guessing, because everyone can see Lao Xia's abnormality." Also, the body fluids on his body are not like ordinary sweat, the liquid is somewhat corrosive, but further examination is needed. ”

"So what now?" Lin Xi's face was gloomy.

"We need to create a dry environment, and then isolate the old summer and observe it for two to three days......"

"Stop, stop." Chen Hu frowned, "I don't agree, what is this, what will Lao Xia think when he knows it." ”

"Brother Chen, Winnie is also doing this for the sake of everyone on board." Lin Ci dissuaded. "Now Lao Xia is the only one who is abnormal."

Chen Hu thought for a while, and then hesitated for a long time before he said, "Yes, but I want to go with you." ”

The three of them came to Lao Xia's room, Lin Ci pushed the door open, and the room was clear at a glance, Lao Xia was not in his own bed. Also, there was a strange smell in the room, like rotten fish, or rotten eggs. Lin Ci frowned and said, "How can this be, this room smells so strange, Lao Xia didn't say it, didn't he smell it?" ”

"You have to find him to find out this question." Winnie said.

Lin Ci walked to the side and picked up a walkie-talkie in the room to call the control room. Alice "hey" in the control room, and Lin Xi said: "Alice, you make a broadcast and ask Lao Xia to wait for us in the restaurant." ”

"No need, I just came from the restaurant, and Lao Xia is in the restaurant. Said that the room was too stuffy and wanted to breathe in the restaurant. ”

Lin Ci put down the walkie-talkie and said, "Lao Xia is in the restaurant." ”

Chen Hu scratched his head and said, "Why did he run to the restaurant." ”

"You're all coming and seeing." Winnie squatted beside Lao Xia's bed and said, she pointed to the bottom of the bed: "There seems to be something down there." ”

Lin Ci and Chen Hu looked at each other, the two men moved away from Lao Xia's bed, and there was a puddle of strange things under his bed, like the rotting corpse of some creature, bubbles floating on the surface, and maggots drilling in and out of it.

Seeing this disgusting scene, Winnie's face turned ugly. Lin Xi found a pair of pliers and clamped the thing, which was sticky, like the skin of some kind of creature. But it was rotten, had no concrete shape, and couldn't tell what it was.

"What do you think?" Lin Ci stared at Chen Hu and said, "Do you still think Lao Xia is okay now?" ”

Chen Hu's face changed several times, and it wasn't until Lin Ci patted him on the shoulder that he spoke: "If something really happens to Lao Xia, I will solve it." But I hope, leave it to me. Anyway, he's my friend. ”

When I came to the restaurant, the people on the boat either went back to their rooms to take a nap, or ran to the stern of the boat to fish like Wellington. It's quiet in the restaurant, but you can hear someone eating.

Lin Xi asked Winnie to stay outside, and pointed to Chen Hu to the door on the other side of the deck. Chen Men understood, followed the passage to the deck, and then went around and entered through another door.

Lin Ci also walked in, the restaurant was not big, and suddenly he saw someone squatting next to the refrigerator. The door of the refrigerator was open, and there were many boxes and cans scattered on the floor, and the boxes were open, and the cans were empty, apparently all for someone to eat.

Those were the food on the boat, Chen Hu immediately shouted: "Lao Xia, what are you doing?" ”

The person who was eating shook all over, and then threw away his things and quickly ran towards the door of Lin Xi's side. His speed was not slow, and he was already in the vicinity in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ci immediately pounced with his arms outstretched, knocking him to the ground at once. Lin Ci's hands were locked, and he felt that the manpower in his arms was amazingly big, and he almost couldn't hold him. Chen Hu also ran over at this time and held him down at once.

Lin Ci had time to look down, and it was really Lao Xia. His mouth was still stuffed with food, and he was sweating, or rather, some sweat-like liquid.

His eyes were red, a black and purple patch floated near his eye sockets, his pupils contracted violently, and his pupils were no longer the usual brown, but inky blue, which looked very abnormal.

Chen Hu gasped and said in a lost voice: "Lao Xia, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lao Xia swallowed the thing hard, and smirked: "It's nothing, it's just that my brother is hungry, find something to eat." Xiao Chen, we are still not good brothers, do you have to worry about me, brother, if you eat something? ”

Chen Hu looked at Lin Ci, and the latter sighed: "Lao Xia, have you looked in the mirror?" ”

"Why should I look in the mirror?" Lao Xia asked rhetorically.

"Because you don't know what the hell you look like right now. Winnie, find a mirror. ”

After a while, Winnie brought a mirror and put it in front of Lao Xia. Lao Xia was obviously stunned when he saw himself in the mirror, and then screamed.

"Who is this? It's definitely not me, you're scaring me, aren't you, how did I become like this! ”

"Lao Xia, your current appearance is very abnormal. We're going to check you, and even if you don't want to, we're going to do that. Lin Ci said to Chen Hu again: "If you want to stop me, I will do it." ”

Chen Hu looked solemn, looked at Lao Xia and said heavily: "Lao Xia, we don't want to be like this either. But you're really abnormal now, let Winnie check it on you. ”

"What's wrong with me? Am I parasitized? ”

"It's hard to talk about now, and to be honest, I've never seen a parasitic like this. So Lao Xia, you have to cooperate. ”

Lao Xia nodded and said, "I feel very hungry and can't eat enough." I might have really turned into a monster, how could this be. Lin Ci, tie me with a rope, I don't want to hurt any of you. ”
