Chapter 19: Maggots

I opened the altar in the living room of the villa, and Fei Fei, who had convulsed after chanting the spell, sat up, and everyone around me was dumbfounded, and the living room was immediately so silent that only the sound of a pounding heartbeat remained.

I approached Fei Fei with a very calm expression, knelt on the bed, pointed a peach sword at Fei Fei's forehead and shouted: "Ghosts hiding in the dark, what else do you have to distinguish, do you have a secret?" After asking, he put his ear close to Fei Fei's mouth and muttered: "Well, well, you said thank my subordinates for their mercy, and wanted to say who harmed this innocent little girl when they left." "I was talking to myself, and I couldn't stop nodding my head while directing and acting myself, and my brows were knit from time to time. A thoughtful look.

At this time, the air in the hall of the villa was very solemn, except for my self-questioning and answering words, there was no other sound, everyone was holding their breath and staring at me suspiciously. But I was very anxious in my heart, and my heart said: This lame one-man show is about to be gaunted, and why hasn't the damn head lowering master shown up? This guy is really able to bear it, so he had to take the corner of his eye uneasily, pretending to sweep the crowd inadvertently, and found that the "she" I suspected, that is, Boss He's wife, was still panicked and uneasy, holding Boss He's hands with teary eyes, and Boss He kept touching the back of her hand to tell her not to be too sad and worried.

Mrs. He, who didn't know anything and was gentle as ever, was like a helpless mother who was very worried about her precious daughter, and there was nothing unusual about her, could it be that she had been guessing her wrongly?

Ever since I saw Mrs. He since I woke up in Hefu, I have always been suspicious of her. The weakness of her appearance and the depth in her eyes are too incompatible, and she is the most familiar with all the things of Boss He, and she is also the person who has the most contact with Fei Fei and is the easiest to start. Although she is Fei Fei's biological mother. It is the least likely object to be suspected, but the possibility of darkness under the lamp cannot be ruled out.

And when I inadvertently came into contact with Mrs. He, I smelled a special fragrance on her, similar to the sandalwood fragrance of incense candles, but it was a little different. After I checked Fei Fei's state, it suddenly occurred to me that the fragrance on Mrs. He's body was the smell of "Thai fragrance". As the name suggests, it is a spice produced in Thailand. This spice is very special and rare, and it is mainly made of sandalwood powder. Other mysterious incense bait powders are added and burned in the incense burner, but among these mysterious spice powders, there is an extremely special powder. It is made by grinding the skulls of dead people. This incense is generally used to cast spells to drive away the undead, and ordinary people will never use this spice.

But at this point, I don't understand why Mrs. He is still acting and refuses to do it, is it because she has not recovered from her injuries and cannot use her skills. Or maybe I guessed wrong, Mrs. He is not really behind the scenes. Seeing that the truth should be revealed. Why did it suddenly get stuck, and how could this be good? I couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and cold sweat continued to ooze from my forehead.

Suddenly, an abnormal fragrance penetrated into my nose, I couldn't help sneezing, and screamed "not good" in my heart, which was the unique "Thai fragrance" taste on Mrs. He's body, and it seemed that she finally couldn't help but make a move. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed from the darkness of the living room to the altar and rushed straight towards me. I immediately dodged, but the shadow was not targeting me, but Fei Fei lying on the bed. I saw him grab Fei Fei's arm and try to snatch Fei Fei away from the bed. And I couldn't help but sneer secretly in my heart: The evil ghost who should be reincarnated has finally appeared, and today the master is going to reveal the true face of your ghost.

The man in black was dressed in a black bodysuit and a black hooded mask, with only one pair of eyes exposed. When I saw his eyes, I was a little dazzled, and the very familiar eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere recently. At this time, the man in black in front of me was also stunned at the same time, because he did not take Fei Fei lightly as he wished. Because under Fei Fei's layered lotus princess skirt, a hemp rope was tied in advance, which was held in the hands of the fat man hiding in the dark at this time.

I took advantage of the moment when the man in black was shaking his mind, and aimed the peachwood sword in my hand at the man in black and stabbed hard, and the man in black immediately let go of Fei Fei, dodged, and flashed a bright crescent scimitar with his backhand. Seeing the cold light flickering, I also hurriedly took out the slingshot prepared in advance from my arms, without giving the man in black any chance to fight back, swished, and shot out three gunpowder projectiles like lightning and flint, all of which hit the man in black accurately. But the result was a big disappointment to me, because the man in black was not ignited by the fire as I had hoped, and I couldn't help but curse angrily in my heart: his grandmother, this damn night suit on the man in black, is actually fireproof, where did he get such a good treasure?

The fat man was still hiding in the shadows, and it was not yet time for him to appear, so I put my hand into my arms again, and pulled out the bronze dagger that had been sharpened like clay, and held it across my chest, staring at the ghostly man in black with my eyes.

The man in black did not fight back immediately, but arched his body, and suddenly flashed into the dark corner of the wide living room, and disappeared. The night suit on the man in black was perfect for hiding him in the dark, no one could detect his movements, I circled around Fei Fei's bed, my eyes kept shuttling in the dark, but I didn't find anything. The enemy is in the dark, and there is a person to protect behind him, and this is the worst and most dangerous situation. I can only mobilize the nerves of my whole body to concentrate a high degree and do not allow the slightest mistake to slip up.

As I stood near the head of the bed, I faintly heard the faint sound of glass beads hitting each other overhead, and when I looked up, I saw a ghostly black figure like a wild cat hanging upside down on the beam, hunched overhead, and pounced on my head. I immediately dodged to the side, and at the same time flicked the bronze dagger in my hand upwards, and the result was that the bronze dagger with iron and clay seemed to be scratched on the very hard leather, which felt very laborious.

The black shadow was hit by me and disappeared into the darkness again, and I found that there were black blood stains on the bronze dagger in my hand, and among the blood stains, there were several worms the size of rice grains wriggling, I was so frightened that I immediately put the dagger in my hand on the burning candle flame, and I heard a squeaky burning and blasting sound, and a foul smell wafted away. Brushing the cold sweat from the frightened forehead with his hand, he said in his heart: Fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise he would have almost become a "maggot" like the walking dead.

"Maggot" is a non-human being who is raised by the Thai head descender all the year round, like a person but not a person, like a ghost but not a ghost. Some head lowering masters with low spiritual power and mana cannot drive the real dead soul, so they use other means to find helpers for themselves, one of which is to serve the "maggots".

The head descender will inject a large number of Gu worm eggs into some people's bodies, and then feed them some poisonous weeds that are compatible with them to continue their lives, and when the eggs hatch, the muscles and veins of the human body will be eaten by the Gu worms, and a large number of Gu worms will replace the control of the body's actions. The human body with only the shell remains, and the skin will become as tough as cowhide, and it will become a walking corpse without thoughts, completely at the behest of the head descender.

It is said that maggots made of dead people have an extremely short lifespan, at most a year and a half, and as little as thirty or fifty days, and then they will lose their efficacy and become a highly decomposed corpse. If the maggots under his command suddenly kill themselves while the head descender is fighting the method, it will make the head descending master suffer from it, and it may even die as a result. Moreover, maggots made of dead corpses are not very agile in their movements, and they are not easy to control.

Therefore, some head-lowering masters choose living people to make maggots, but this method is very difficult, because the prerequisites are very harsh. First: It must be a strong man, or before the Gu worms hatch, the unformed maggots will die of heart failure due to the gnawing of the Gu worm eggs; Second: The eight characters of the birth date are all yin, that is, the yin year and the moon are yin and the sun is cloudy, the heavenly stem is B, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui, and the earthly branch is the pure yin body of Chou, Mao, Wei, You, and Hai, or the human body's yang energy is too strong, which will make it difficult for the yin and poisonous Gu worms to hatch and grow and survive; These two conditions alone are already difficult to find in the world, so maggots made of living people are really rare. There is another condition that is not necessary to be made into a maggot, that is, when the maggot is still a living person, if it is willing to be made into a maggot, after becoming a maggot, its power is amazing and it will survive for a long time. However, who would willingly become a walking corpse without a ghost and then be at the mercy of others? The average person is certainly not willing. However, there are some people with extreme ideas who want to fulfill a certain heavy wish, such as wanting to avenge the blood and the sea of blood, so they turn to the head descending master, and the head descending master will use this as a condition to threaten, and many people will be deceived by it or be fascinated for a while, so they will become alternative creatures "maggot people" who do not belong to the Three Realms.

The Gu worms in the maggot man's body are highly poisonous, which can paralyze the human body and be at the mercy of others, and even turn into a walking corpse without thinking like a maggot. So I have to be very careful not to stab him with a bronze dagger again, in case the Gu worms in the maggot's body escape, even if they don't fall on me, it will be bad if they fall on the bodies of other onlookers.

Maggots are not living people, so they can hide in the dark silently, ready to launch a sneak attack anytime and anywhere. And now that I can no longer hurt his body with a sharp blade, and he is wearing a fireproof night suit, I really have no way to do it at the moment, so I am so helpless that I can only hunch my waist and pace around Fei Fei vigilantly to prevent the maggots from sneaking up next.

I never thought that I didn't calculate that when I came to collect ghosts this time, I would encounter a very tricky head descending master, and next to this head descending master, who was not too high, there would be a half-human, half-ghost maggot, and now his overall plan was disrupted. Now we have to rearrange it, and the first priority is to solve the maggots hiding in the shadows.

But it is difficult to accomplish this matter with his own strength, but he can't expose the fat man's existence at this time, he is the killer weapon he left until the end. It seems that now there is only one way to go, and if you don't bite the bullet and solve the ghost maggot first, everyone in this villa will be buried here! (To be continued......)
