Versatile Mage: Rebirth of Mo Fan, Atlas of the Celestial Spirit

Chapter 243 The Evil Maggot Emperor is so terrifying

Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue and Bobby were all sitting in the courtyard. Bobby was in a very low mood. He asked, "This beauty is your girlfriend. What about the one just now?"

"Too."

Bobby's mood immediately became even lower.

"How did your eldest brother deal with his body? Was he cremated?" Mo Fan asked.

"Well, it burned that day. An old pharmacist from the Magic Association said it might be an epidemic and had to be burned immediately." Bobby said.

"So when did you realize that something was wrong with your brother?"

"About a week ago, Noko became bad-tempered. I thought he became like that because of what happened with my brother."

"Do you remember any abnormal symptoms he had?"

"Hmm... maybe his appetite suddenly becomes very good." Bobby said after thinking for a while.

……

After chatting for a while, Lingling came out of the room.

Her eyes were full of luster: "There are some discoveries."

"So are we."

Mo Fan explained to Lingling that the deceased had a great appetite before his death.

Lingling stroked her smooth chin like an old scholar and said, "Nuoko looked extremely weak, like someone who hadn't eaten for more than ten days. The reason why he looked no different from normal when he was alive was entirely because of the illusion of edema inside his body."

"How could this happen?" Bobby said in disbelief.

Noko had clearly eaten so much in his lifetime, so how could his body be like a water-filled shell? This completely goes against common sense.

"Unless there are parasites in your body!" Mu Ningxue said coldly.

If you eat a lot but there are no nutrients left in your body, there is only one possibility: the nutrients have been absorbed by other organisms.

Lingling looked at Mu Ningxue with appreciation and said, "Mo Fan, I'm thinking of changing my partner now."

Mo Fan? ? ?

After Lingling finished speaking, she found a filter and said, "Come with me."

Everyone walked to the blood basin that Noko used to commit suicide, asked Mo Fan to hold the filter, and Bobby picked up the blood basin and poured blood onto the filter.

The sticky blood flowed out through the gaps in the filter, and no one understood what was going on.

Only Mo Fan understood that Lingling was looking for the evil maggots, and he opened his ghost eyes and easily found the wriggling evil maggots hanging on the filter net.

“Lingling, there’s something here.” Mo Fan said.

"I saw it. Don't move it. It is very weak and will die quickly without the liquid." Lingling said softly.

Mu Ningxue and Bobby also saw the twisting little thing, but although they were curious, they didn't say anything.

"Bring some more water." Lingling said.

Bobby quickly fetched some water, and Lingling took the water and poured it little by little on the jellyfish maggots that were covered in blood. As the blood was washed away, the water immediately returned to its original transparent color.

"Why did it disappear?" Bobby asked.

"You are blind, look carefully."

Bobby concentrated carefully and found that a completely transparent little maggot appeared in the original place. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.

This thing is about the size of a thumb and is transparent all over, just like a jellyfish.

Mo Fan said seriously: "This thing must be the jellyfish maggot." "Yes."

Lingling looked at Mo Fan in surprise. She didn't expect that Mo Fan, who was illiterate about the law, would know about jellyfish maggots.

"There are very few juveniles of this marine organism. Only when they are in the ocean and have enough water as nutrients can they grow rapidly."

"What will it look like when it grows up?" Mu Ningxue asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. The truly terrifying thing about jellyfish maggots is that their juvenile forms are like flexible embryos. In theory, they can slowly grow into anything they wrap themselves around!" Lingling said.

"You mean this guy can grow into any creature? For example, if he encounters a red monster, he will grow into a red monster, or if he encounters a sea monster, he will become a sea monster?" Bobby said in horror.

"Yes, this is also the first time I have seen live jellyfish maggots. I can do some research on them tonight!"

Lingling picked up the maggots with a pair of tweezers soaked in water and put them into a container filled with water.

"What happened to the drowning curse?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Didn't I tell you that, theoretically, this evil maggot can grow into any creature, including humans?" Lingling replied.

"Impossible." Bobby said angrily after hearing this:

"It's impossible for such a horrible creature to exist. My elder brother and younger brother definitely couldn't have been transformed from such a demonic maggot!!"

"This is what an old wizard who never sets the sun said in his experimental records. However, the old wizard was put on the stake for studying black magic before he finished his experiment."

Lingling frowned and said, "Actually, I don't believe in this absolute theory, but if you want to know more information, I have to do some more research."

……

After returning to the hotel, Mo Fan went to see Jiaojiao first. Mu Nujiao's expression had recovered a lot, but when Mo Fan told her about the jellyfish maggots, her face turned pale again.

Mu Ningxue angrily pushed Mo Fan out of the room, and she came to sleep with Jiaojiao at night.

Mo Fan had no choice but to scratch his head and go back to his room. Lingling lived in his room.

Lingling was doing experiments with the equipment she brought with her, while Mo Fan was practicing magic beside her.

Around midnight, Lingling said excitedly, "Success!"

Mo Fan opened his eyes and said, "Have you figured out the secret of the jellyfish maggots?"

"That's about it. Go call Mu Ningxue and notify the uncle from the daytime." Lingling's eyes sparkled.

Mo Fan went to Jiaojiao's room to wake up Mu Ningxue, but Mu Nujiao followed him out of fear. Then he called Bobby and went to the beach to meet him.

The five of them met on the beach by the sea.

Lingling said: "I already know the truth about the Drowning Curse. All the people who died from the Drowning Curse were actually parasitized by the juvenile bodies of the evil maggots. As for why the corpses were not infested with evil maggots, it was because when the dead came into contact with sea water, the evil maggots instantly left the human body and escaped into the vast ocean."

"When the evil maggots leave the human body, they will drain a lot of nutrients from the body, so they will become that horrible appearance."

"Then why did you call us to the beach?"

Lingling continued, "First of all, evil maggots are a kind of terrible parasitic monster. They live in seawater and are as tiny as plankton. They can easily enter the bodies of some large creatures. In fact, evil maggots like this that can parasitize human bodies have only evolved in recent years."

"The parasitic rate of these little devils is not high, because they are very weak when they are young, and the protective cells in the body can kill them; but if the jellyfish maggots are not killed, they will parasitize in your body and steal the energy taken by the host bit by bit."

"That's why people who are under the Drowning Curse will have a huge appetite but a weak body. When the evil maggot grows up, it can no longer satisfy the energy of the host individual. It will then send a kind of mental control to the host, forcing them to go to a place with sea water."

"Once in contact with seawater, the maggots will quickly detach from the host, taking away most of the nutrients and returning to the sea to start a new life!"
