Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 422 The Superior Demon
Duan Mingyuan understood how great a risk the Dark Night Witch had taken by saying those words just now, because theoretically, she had also told him the means to crack this parasitic infection.

The parasite will obey the orders of the higher demon, and the brain of the Dark Night Witch is inhabited by some kind of higher demon.

This is how she was able to control the parasites, ordering them to hide in Jean-Saintfield's body, using Yelena to collect Jean-Saintfield's memories, and allowing the parasites to use her body as a seedbed.

This also means that the method of stopping this infection is much simpler than people think.

As long as the Dark Witch gives the order for all parasites to leave their hosts, they will immediately separate from their hosts' bodies, even if they will die suddenly afterwards due to lack of energy supply from the hosts.

But this is exactly in line with the Dark Night Witch's interpretation of war weapons.

Although on the surface they are living alien creatures, they do not have any independent will.

The Dark Night Witch's final reminder reminded Duan Mingyuan of the scene when Jinli and the butler pounced on him. He noticed the abnormality in the energy of both, so he came up with the idea of ​​"repairing" it.

In the witch's words, perhaps he unconsciously ordered the parasites in the two people's bodies to leave the host, and the parasites faithfully carried out his orders.

As for sudden death, it is because they cannot survive in an environment where their energy supply is cut off.

The only thing that confused Duan Mingyuan was the reason why the parasite attacked him.

If he was a "higher devil", then why would the parasite attack him?

In order to answer this question, he left the mansion before the choir's performance, followed the traces of residual energy and found Yelena sleeping in a secret cellar in the church area.

There were two clergymen guarding the gate. As soon as Duan Mingyuan approached, they came up to him with unfriendly faces, revealing a mouth full of fangs that did not belong to humans.

It is not difficult to see that in order to facilitate eating, the parasite will modify the host's body to a certain extent.

A minute later, Duan Mingyuan walked down the stairs and found Yelena's temporary residence.

This time, he did not order the parasite to leave the bodies of the two people, but issued other instructions for the purpose of the experiment.

The experiment was successful.

The two of them still glared at him fiercely, but they hugged each other and danced a passionate and intense ballroom dance in the alley.

Duan Mingyuan gradually understood this special situation.

These parasites would still be hostile to him and would treat him as food, but on the other hand, due to their racial characteristics, they had to obey every command he issued.

So there was this weird scene where two people wanted to kill him but were dancing at the same time.

Duan Mingyuan also realized that the parasite did not seem to have a fear system.

They would not retreat because of fear. Once they set their sights on prey, they would only have two options: successful hunting or being killed by the prey. This made them better weapons of war. He had no doubt that once he revoked the order to dance, the two would pounce on him again.

Yelena, with a frown on her face, heard the noise in the room and opened her eyes haggardly.

When she saw Duan Mingyuan, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

But she did not pounce on him like other hosts infected by the parasite. Duan Mingyuan felt that this was probably because the parasite had eaten too much last night.

Sucking on the energy of the 76ers all at once is tantamount to overeating.

After the appetite is satisfied, the host's consciousness will return to normal.

Of course, her sanity is short-lived.

The Night Witch adjusted the hunger level of this group of parasites, so that they would soon fall into a hungry state craving for energy.

"You are Duan Mingyuan."

Although this was the first time they met, Yelena recognized the Blue Star friend mentioned by Jin Li at a glance.

She also said that Duan Mingyuan was an excellent doctor and might be able to cure her illness.

However, she did not make it until after the baptism. When the butler came in, the uncontrollable hunger deprived her of the last of her sanity. She remembered that she pounced on the butler and bit his neck.

"Are they... okay?"

Yelena asked weakly.

"It's okay. The butler you attacked has returned to normal."

After a full night's rest, today's butler has gained a small amount of scorching sun energy through faith, proving that once the parasite leaves the body, they can still become believers of the Embers Church. "That's good, that's good."

Yelena breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Did Baptism ask you to come here?"

"No."

Duan Mingyuan shook his head.

Although saying this might hurt Yelena's feelings, when he left, Jinli and Jiuyue were sitting in front of the LCD TV, concentrating on a racing game.

Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Jinli shooting banana peels madly at other players, and making smiling cartoon expressions to the players who stepped on the banana peels.

"That's the Pope."

Yelena seemed to have been prepared for this. She closed her eyes and said, "I have committed an unforgivable crime. Please do it. This is my last request."

Duan Mingyuan noticed a broken dagger placed beside Yelena's bed, and the blade broke and flew to the door.

It seems that after briefly regaining consciousness, Yelena also attempted to commit suicide, but the parasite stopped her.

The Dark Witch had already thought of this. She did not doubt Yelena's awareness as an inquisitor, but she was not worried at all that Yelena would stop her plan by committing suicide.

Once the parasitism is complete, the host will be completely deprived of the power to commit suicide.

"I'm conducting a medical experiment."

Duan Mingyuan said, "None of the cultists you attacked died. They were just injected with the same parasites as you."

“…Is this good news?”

Yelena thought this sounded even worse than if the cultists had died on the spot.

She understood the horror of hunger. Even the strongest faith could not resist that most primitive desire.

If what Duan Mingyuan said was correct, in a short while, the entire Holy City would be overrun by monsters that would bite anyone they saw.

"That's good news."

As he spoke, Duan Mingyuan took out a glass jar and opened it in front of Yelena.

When she looked puzzled, he ordered in an unquestionable tone, "Come out, then go in."

Before she could even open her mouth, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.

A strong feeling of nausea surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but dry heave.

She saw a dark, fat worm crawl out of her throat, then roll over and fall straight into the glass bottle.

It curled up into a ball in the glass bottle, and Duan Mingyuan immediately sealed the bottle.

The parasite cannot survive without energy supply, so he developed such an energy storage tank.

This one is inspired by the story of the Night Witch.

She said that in the past there were witches who used this method to confine other witches in jars and turned them into their own source of magic power.

It's just that now he has separated some of the life energy to keep the parasite in the glass jar alive.

"finished."

"…Done? What on earth is this?"

Yelena raised her voice.

“This is a parasite.”

"Parasite?"

“I’m working on them.”

Duan Mingyuan explained, "You know, a doctor who doesn't want to be an entomologist is not a good doctor."
